On September 11, 2001, Stanley Praimnath was on the 81st floor of the South Tower when United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into his office, making him one of the 18 people who survived the impact zone. Praimnath tells the story of his experience on that day in this episode of the Academic Boardroom in conversation with Dr. Eli Joseph. He describes the ordinary Tuesday morning, which became a life-changing experience, and speaks about the moments that he spent under the debris calling for help until Brian Clark decided to help him. But this is not just a story of survival. It is a story of faith under fire. Praimnath tells how a child from Guyana made a life-altering decision in 1982 and how he never stopped following his beliefs even in the world of banking before September 11. He shares how his faith helped him survive the collapse, flee through the Brooklyn Bridge, and endure years of health issues such as leukemia and heart surgery. Praimnath talks about how both traumatic and inspirational his story can be and how it is important for people to remind about what happened on September 11, 2001, and to understand what lessons they can learn from it.
