Boomer EsiasonHOST
One was in Uniondale.
Boomer EsiasonHOST
One, I think, was at the Pierre here in New York City when his wife and his sister Edie set up the Cantor Family Center at the Pierre Hotel so people could actually go there and find out what was going on and find out up-to-date news about whether or not there was going to be any loved ones found.
Boomer EsiasonHOST
And I watched Howard talk to these families, matter-of-factly answering questions.
Boomer EsiasonHOST
I was just sitting there just in awe of how he was handling all of this.
Boomer EsiasonHOST
And in the meantime, twice I went with Howard to two different family groups.
Boomer EsiasonHOST
Where he was standing in front of these groups and it was out at the Marriott Hotel, one was in Uniondale, one I think was at the Pierre here in New York City when his wife and his sister Edie set up the Cantor Family Center at the Pierre Hotel so people could actually go there and find out what was going on and find out up-to-date news about whether or not there was going to be any loved ones found.

And one company that worked on the 102nd floor of one of those towers, they lost 700 workers.
Phyllis RodriguezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
My 31-year-old son, Greg, worked with Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd floor of the first tower, and the CEO of Cantor, Howard Lutnick, did something which really was wonderful, and I think other companies did it, and eventually the city did it, too.
Phyllis RodriguezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He organized a family center at the Hotel Pierre where families and friends could gather.
Phyllis RodriguezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was a tremendous support group, like a huge living room where you could be with other people in the same position as you.

You know, by the time we knew about it when we woke up, it was pretty much precisely when I was sitting in bed with my wife and child that morning.
David PotortiGUEST
That's when he got hit.
Phyllis RodriguezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Our hopes were dashed on Wednesday night, the 12th, because the CEO of Cantor, Howard Lutnick, got his people and volunteers from other companies to put their business... know how to work and their research know how to work and they saved us the work of having to go to individual hospitals they got all the survivors list they really combed through everything in the whole area wherever survivors wherever anyone was taken for treatment and also the morgues and stuff like that and so they compiled all these lists centralized and he On Wednesday, early evening, Wednesday the 12th, he took the microphone at the Hotel Pierre, and he announced that they feel they had done an exhaustive search and that anyone who was not on a survivor list had not survived.
Phyllis RodriguezSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We should assume had not survived.
