On September 11, 2001, Ari Schonbrun was delayed by a simple task—filling out a book order for his son. Little did he know, that small delay would save his life. Arriving at the World Trade Center just 20 minutes after nine, Ari found himself in the midst of a blast that shook the building. 

Through a series of miraculous events, he was spared from the elevator when the plane struck. His story is one of fate, survival, and inspiration, reminding us all of the preciousness of life and the power of perseverance in the face of unimaginable adversity. 

Ari now shares his journey of survival and the life lessons learned, offering hope and motivation for anyone facing their own struggles.
