This episode we hear from David Paventi.
David Paventi was in a conference room on the 82nd floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower when the first plane struck the 93rd floor. “After that kind of thing happens to you, you focus on some things differently,” he told the Weekly in 2005.
By then, he had opened Paventi's Pizza and was about to start a wealth management company with his former boss, who also survived the 9-11 tragedy.
He reveals how the plane sounded when it hit, the conditions inside the stairwell as he was making his way to the lobby, and much more.
