Great story. Thanks for posting it.
For once, Time has risen above its petty ideological fixations and written about a real hero, and written it well.
Good for them. If they did it more often, maybe their company wouldn’t be going down the tubes.

Most excellent that part of Rick Rescorla’s story would be told once again in Time magazine. People will learn from his example on 9/11. There are more lives yet to be saved by Rick. He couldn’t have a finer legacy.

Rescorla taught Morgan Stanley employees to save themselves. It's a lesson that has become, somehow, rare and precious.
Once we were scorned and young. But the tide turns.
A kick ass Bravo Zulu to Rick Rescorla, Soldier.
Thanks Ronnie!

In this day and age where Mayor Bloomberg will go after gun dealers in the state of Georgia, one wonders if anyone dared prosecute the port authority officer who locked the roof doors at the Twin Towers, preventing rooftop rescues on 9/11/2001...in contrast to the successful roof rescue from the twin towers after the 1993 garage bombing there.
