Business Rundown: Saved by a Phone Call | A Wall Street Survivor’s 9/11 Mission

On September 11, 2001, Thomas Batillo was on Wall Street, scheduled to meet colleagues for breakfast at the top of the World Trade Center. A last-minute phone call kept him at ground level—a moment that saved his life as the first plane flew directly overhead. In this moving episode of The FOX Business Rundown, Batillo shares with FOX Businss Network's Lydia Hu his harrowing, step-by-step account of that tragic morning: witnessing the second plane strike, watching the chaotic scene from the ground, and making desperate cell phone calls to friends trapped on the upper floors. He also discusses how surviving the attack inspired him to take action and devote his life to keeping people safe at the TSA. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
