9/11 remembrance at Northview HS

BRAZIL, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Northview High School held a special remembering September 11th presentation Thursday.

In their auditorium, American Legion Post 2 gave a presentation of colors, followed by God Bless America and the Star-Spangled Banner.

Afterward, retired FBI agent Wes Wong gave an insight to what he experienced that morning.

Wong was the highest-ranking member of the FBI at ground zero.

He says at first, he was just trying to stay out of the way, but then things changed.

Another plane has flown into the South Tower. Well obviously, my role changes at this point from, hey I don’t want to get in anybody’s way. I’m not an expert at fire and rescue. Now everybody turns to me to say what’s going on.
