\n On September 11, 2001, Michael Hingson was on the 78th floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower with his guide dog, Roselle, when the first plane hit. Over the next hour, they walked down 78 flights of stairs together, calm the entire way.\n <\/p>\n

\n Michael later wrote about that day in Thunder Dog, a New York Times bestseller, and now spends his career speaking about fear, trust, and teamwork. In this episode, he breaks down exactly what happened floor by floor, and why staying calm mattered as much as knowing the exits.\n <\/p>\n
