Their life
Police Officer Dominick Pezzulo was killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks while attempting to rescue the victims trapped in the World Trade Center.
As the South Tower collapsed, Officer Pezzulo and several other officers quickly ran to the building's elevator shaft. Only Officer Pezzulo and two other officers survived the initial collapse, but soon afterward, Officer Pezzulo was struck by falling debris.
The two officers that survived say, "Just remember me, I died trying to save you guys," were Officer Pezzulo's last words. He then fired a single shot into the air, trying to let the others know where his friends were, and then died.
Officer Pezzulo had served with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department for 13 months.
