One of the 72 law enforcement officers who died on 9/11, the deadliest day in law enforcement history, was Fred Morrone, Superintendent of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department. When word reached him moments after terrorists flew a jetliner into the World Trade Center, Superintendent Morrone left his Jersey City (NJ) office and rushed through the Holland Tunnel to lead the rescue effort. His wife and son were watching the horrors of 9/11 unfold on television. “Before the second building fell, I knew and my mom knew he was gone,” Greg Morrone said of his father.
