John Cerqueira: Surviving the Towers | 9/11: We Remember | PBS North Carolina

After graduating From NC State University in May of 2001, John Cerqueira set out for the bright lights of NYC to take a job in finance at a company located at the World Trade Center. Just months later, during the September 11th attacks, John would find himself trying to escape the very building that had offered so much promise and opportunity. In the new PBS NC special, 9/11: We Remember, North Carolinians share personal accounts of that terrible day. From narrowly escaping the World Trade Center to losing loved ones and colleagues in the collapse, we hear intimate accounts of tragedy, heroism and resilience. 9/11: We Remember premieres Thursday, September 9, 7 PM on PBS NC and streaming online and on the PBS Video app. Learn more and explore more special programming: https://www.pbsnc.org/blogs/watch/9-1...
