Survivors Reflect 25 Years After 9/11 | California News

Twenty-five years after 9/11, two Sacramento men who were inside the World Trade Center that day reflect on the chaos, terror, and resilience that defined their survival—Richard Hannaford, who felt the building shake like an earthquake and smelled jet fuel, and Corey Daniel, who escaped in a blur of panic, only to later marvel at the nation’s unity. Both recount harrowing moments, including coworkers returning to offices after the first plane hit, and the crushing weight of loss. Today, Hannaford finds peace in honoring fallen friends at the 9/11 Memorial, while Daniel cherishes his family and grandson, grateful for every day. Their stories reveal how trauma reshapes perspective—and how, even in the darkest moments, hope and gratitude can endure.
