THE MORNING HE NEVER REACHED THE 105TH FLOOR
Howard Lutnick survived September 11 because he took his oldest son to his first day of kindergarten instead of going to Cantor Fitzgerald’s offices high in the North Tower. The company lost 658 employees, including his brother and best friend. This verified story follows what came next: controversy, a five-year profit pledge, a decade of health coverage, an open door for the children left behind, and an annual charitable tradition built from the firm’s devastating loss.
