Breakthrough: An Epic Quest for Freedom

While the World Trade Center in Manhattan was burning fiercely, what was the leader of the United States of America? Join me for a segue on this episode of Breakthrough as I relay to you what George W. Bush Jr. was doing on September 11th.

As Jyoti, Alfredo, and Florence were hurrying down the stairwell, Joe Pfieffer, the Chief Battalion of the New York City Firefighters, was sending his men up the stairs. And Mike and John were still helping the woman in the wheelchair down as well. Would they make it in time? Neil and Peter were still going down as well. And what would happen...when they all saw the buildings on fire? Find out with me on this episode of Breatkthrough.

This time on Breakthrough, join me as we learn what happened to the Network Plus employees, how Joe Pfeiffer would lead his battalion, and what the people in the South Tower would do when they saw One World Trade Center....on fire.

This season on Breakthrough, we explore freedom through a different lens: through what it means to be resilient. And how that very resiliency can lead to our freedom. Come along with me as I guide you through the most devastating 24 hours of recent American history, by examining the perspectives of the people who were actually there on September 11, 2001.
