@brandoncrouse3: On September 11th, Ganci's best friend and executive assistant, Steve Mosiello, was going to drive Ganci to court, where Ganci had been scheduled for jury duty. Immediately after American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. Ganci, Mosiello, and Chief of Operations Danny Nigro rushed there from their command post in downtown Brooklyn. Driving there in Ganci's car, they arrived on the scene in less than 10 minutes, and set up a command post on a ramp leading to the underground garage under 2 World Financial Center, directly across the West Side Highway from the North Tower. He and Mayor Rudy Giuliani had spoken just minutes before, when Giuliani had left for his command post, following Ganci's instruction to Giuliani for the fire commissioners and others to clear the area because it was apparent the North Tower would fall. However, Ganci himself did not evacuate the area, saying, "I'm not leaving my men", and remained at that location with First Deputy Commissioner William Feehan. Ganci and Feehan were killed when the North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. After a rescue dog located Ganci's body, Ganci's fire team, including Mosiello, pulled it from beneath four feet of debris.Ganci's former supervisor, Howard Safir, commented that Ganci "would never ask anyone to do something he didn't do himself. It didn't surprise me that he was right at the front lines. You would never see Pete five miles away, in some command center." At the time of the attacks, he held the rank of Chief of Department, the highest ranking uniformed fire officer in the department #september11 #newyork #foryoupage #fyp #viral
