CTP (S3ESepSpecial3) Blind on 9/11: A Survivor's Tale
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
Michael Hingson shares his remarkable journey as a blind 9/11 survivor who escaped from the 78th floor of the World Trade Center's Tower One and how this experience shaped his understanding of fear, preparation, and resilience.
• Born blind and told by doctors he would never contribute to society
• Earned a master's degree in physics despite 70% unemployment rate among blind people
• Opened an office in World Trade Center Tower One in August 2000
• Survived 9/11 by using his detailed knowledge of the building's layout and emergency procedures
• Published three books including NY Times bestseller "Thunderdog" with foreword by Larry King
• Advocates for true inclusion of people with disabilities in diversity conversations
• Teaches that fear can be controlled and used as a motivational tool rather than something that overwhelms us
• Suggests everyone has disabilities, but some are more visible or accommodated than others
• Hosts "Unstoppable Mindset" podcast about inclusion, diversity and the unexpected
