    Watching this was hard. You can see how difficult it is for him to do the interview. Bless him, all the victims, and the survivors ❤

    It's crazy how his friend called him from Canada and yelled at him to get out of the building just moments before the 2nd plane crashed through his office floor. That phone call saved his life.

    Kudos to his wife who showed him what love can do.

    It’s somewhat comforting knowing many had fallen asleep before the towers collapsed

    If you ever wondered what PTSD looks like, this is it.

    I grew up with Ron's son. When they returned to Canada, he told me and my classmates about what happened to his dad. I've listened to Ron's story many times in documentaries and it's still devastating. I'm happy he made it out.

    So glad for him that he says “my wife” and not “my ex-wife”. I hope they continué to have a strong and blissful marriage.

    They say survival guilt is the WORST thing imaginable. I can almost feel his pain.

    "He takes 9-11 date off every year from work to reflect and give gratitude." What an awesome guy and his wife is a unbelievably strong woman! 🙏❤
