Rocky’s Resilience, A Sept. 11 Survival Story by Suzannah Troy Artist

Lt. Bob “Rocky” LaRocco survived Tower 2 fall but as Tower 1 collapsed he dived behind a fire truck and he thought, “Death, I just cheated you and now you’re gonna come for the payoff.” He actually laughed at the perceived irony. Rocky’s poignant quote is a stand out in the Time/Life best seller One Nation. Resilience is non-negotiable. It is the heart and soul of the matter.
