Twenty-five years ago, on a clear Tuesday morning in September, the world changed in the span of 102 minutes. This week on Investigation Insiders, Forhad sits down with Wesley Wong, who retired from the FBI as a Senior Executive after a thirty-year career as a Special Agent — including leading the Bureau's Technical and National Security Branches in New York and investigating Organized Crime, Counter-Intelligence, and Counter-Terrorism matters. On September 11, 2001, Wes was the FBI's on-scene commander at Ground Zero, and in the attack's aftermath he stood up the Bureau's largest-ever Fusion Center.
Since leaving the Bureau, Wes has held senior business development roles at Acxiom, EDS, and Boeing Defense, and today serves as a Senior Advisor to U.S. Special Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base and a Senior Fellow at the U.S. Air Force Special Operations School.
In this candid, unhurried conversation, Wes walks us through the morning minute by minute — what he remembers most, the moments of humanity inside the chaos, the colleagues he lost, and what it feels like to carry this story a quarter-century later. This is a conversation about memory, service, and what time does, and doesn't, heal.
