@60minutes: Todd Rancke, a father of three young children, worked as a bond salesman on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center. He was on the phone with his wife, Debbie, when the first plane hit on Sept. 11, 2001. In the days after the attacks, 60 Minutes followed Debbie as she and Todd's sisters searched hospitals across New York City for him. The injured had been taken to 130 hospitals in the New York area. At the time, the death toll stood at 94, and more than 4,000 people were listed as missing. #nyc #worldtradecenter

Todd's Obituary: RIP When A. Todd Rancke knocked you down, you did not want to get back up, because you were too busy laughing. Mr. Rancke, a managing director at Sandler O'Neill, had a teasing sense of humor that played on people's flaws but did not generate any ill will, said his sister, Cindy Bienemann. "He could crack on you in a way without making you feel bad," she said. In fact, it seemed that he did just the opposite. Mr. Rancke, who would have been 43 today, was such a fixture in the Summit, N.J., community where he lived that people teased him about being mayor someday, said his wife, Deborah. He was so well loved by his clients that they would sometimes join him on family vacations with his wife and children, Christina, 11; Brittany, 9; and Todd Jr., 7. For all his jocularity, Mr. Rancke was a gentleman at heart, a caring man whose primary concern was his family's happiness. Mrs. Rancke sees that same quality in her children, especially her son. Now little Todd puts his arms around her when she's sad, Mrs. Rancke said, "just like big Todd used to do."

But no one made it to the hospital; it was the FIRST thing all the medical staff said- they were ready to take all these injured patients and NO ONE showed up. Also it's crazy to me that ppl still look for whole bodies in such disasters. Everyone is pulverized, completely disintegrated just like in massive plane crashes/explosions.

It’s not courage, it’s love for your sibling. I would have done the same thing. This is so heartbreaking. Did they ever find their brother?
