Victor Antonio Martinez Pastrana was a dishwasher at the Windows on the World restaurant. Mr. Pastrana was originally from Tlachichuca, Puebla, Mexico. He was working in the United States to support his wife and two children who were still living in Mexico. From what I’ve read, they didn’t find his body. I hope he rests in peace.
Andy Desperito was a Lieutenant with the New York Fire Department, Ladder 1. Andy loved being a fireman; those close to him were not surprised that he ran into the World Trade Center to save lives. He never gave up and didn’t allow the people around him to give up, either.
Andy Desperito was 44 years old, with a wife named Laura and 3 children: Nicole, Anthony and David. He was an avid cook. He was a soccer coach for Anthony’s team, even though he had never played soccer himself, attending coaching seminars and training classes so that he could train children to be athletes. He lead Anthony’s team to a league victory.
On 精品一卡二卡三卡 11, 2001, Lt. Desperito was leading a woman in the North Tower to safety, having ordered his men out ahead of him. Just after stepping outside the building, the North Tower collapsed. Lt. Desperito was found in the rubble during the days following the WTC collapse.
Firefighters, to me, are the heros of 9/11; going into skyscrapers on fire when everyone else was going out, in order to rescue whoever they could.

David D. Alger was 57 and the executive vice president and chief financial officer of Fred Alger Management. He had graduated from Harvard with a major in History and then from the University of Michigan with a Master’s in Business Administration.
He and his brother Fred Alger built a successful investment firm through a record of strong investment performance and excellent client service. For much of the last decade, David Alger led the firm, managing over $15 billion in assets.
David Alger seemed to be known for stories and the lessons contained within them about the business world, and about life. A connoisseur of cheeseburgers and apple pie, it was not unusual for David to sit at his lunch table with young business executives and tell his stories, often beginning with the same line, “That reminds me of something.”
“I can see him chewing apple pie and telling these stories,” said Rob Lyon, who worked for Mr. Alger at Fred Alger Management in the 1980’s and remained close. One of Mr. Alger’s lunch lessons was that big companies cannot possibly grow as fast as little ones, and that problems in a company ‹ or a life ‹ can never fully be solved in one three-month reporting period. You have to look to the horizon, he would tell the young Turks.”
Fred Alger investment offices were located on the 93rd floor of 1 World Trade Center. In addition to his wife and brother, Mr. Alger is survived by a sister, Suzette Howard of Aiken, S.C.; and daughters Cristina de Marigny Alger of Cambridge, Mass.; and Roxanna Geffen of Manhattan.
I would have liked to have attended one of Mr. Alger’s famous Wall Street lunches and listened to a story or two.
What amazes me the most is the firefighters going into the building, hoping to help people, but most of them knowing this may be the last thing that they do. After the buildings collapsed, the eerie repetition of the firefighter’s body alarms echoed in the rubble.
The families of the people looking for their friends and family are out one the street with pictures asking if anyone has seen their loved one. Of course, many of these people are dead, and that is the sadness surrounding what has happened.
I suppose you can kill someone for a cause or to make a point or to take revenge, but taking the life of an innocent person with children and families… there is no honor in that.
