| Being courageous is
about confidently doing what's right. Often the task may seem
insurmountable but with courage and tenacity, the odds can be
overcome.
A truly courageous act both inspires
and builds character.
There were 473 Standard Chartered Bank
employees working at 7 World Trade on September 11, 2001.
They survived. Thousands of others died on that day. Each
and every survivor has a unique and compelling story to tell
about the events of that day.
'There was a grocery store on the way to the Seaport. I went
in to get us some water. That's when I noticed the shopping
carts. I took two shopping carts and pushed them out onto
the street. We lay the small babies in the bottom of the cart
with one baby in the seat. We then continued on toward the
Seaport… A little while later, we passed a bar. There
was a television on in the window of the bar. We stopped for
a few minutes to watch the news reports. That's when we learnt
it wasn't an accident. That's when we really started to feel
frightened. If it was an attack, what might happen next?'
