9/11 survivor works to educate future generations, preserve memories from the attack
Twenty-five years after escaping the World Trade Center just minutes before the towers collapsed, Mike Dempsey, who now lives in North Carolina, is working to educate future generations about the September 11 attacks and support those affected by them.
Dempsey worked for Credit Suisse in World Trade Center 5, which was connected to the North Tower. His wife, Amy, worked on the 100th floor of the North Tower.
In the years since the attacks, Dempsey has focused on education and helping others. He helped start the September 11th Education Trust and has worked with various charities supporting survivors, victims' families and first responders.
"We want the future generations to know what happened that day from people like myself and family members and first responders," Dempsey said.
