David Paventi recalled his escape from the 81st floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower on 9/11, 23 years after the terrorist attacks killed nearly 3,000 Americans.
David Paventi was on the 81st floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower when the first plane struck on 9/11. A banker from Charlotte, North Carolina, Paventi was in New York City at the time on business.

In more recent years, Paventi said he reflects on those who were not so fortunate to walk away with their lives that day or those first responders who sacrificed their lives to help others. He also thinks about how much things have changed with respect to security since 9/11.
