@c5news: On 9/11, Godwin Forde Senior stayed behind on the 42nd floor of the South Tower to help others evacuate — and was the only person from that floor who did not make it out. 25 years later, Godwin's son touches on the conflicting emotions of losing him. Godwin Forde Junior said, on one side “you’re very proud of your dad” who sacrificed himself for others. “And then the other is anger. The fact that, for at least one moment, he could have been a little bit selfish and come home.” New York City was illuminated when Twin Towers were recreated with lighted drones to mark the 25th anniversary of the attacks. The display paid tribute to each of the 2,977 victims killed in the terror attacks, ahead of memorial services which are taking place all over the world on 11 September. #911 #NewYork
