Description

Of all the companies affected by the attacks of 11 September, none was more devastated than Cantor Fitzgerald, the financial services conglomerate, who lost 658 people. CEO Howard Lutnick survived only because he had taken his son to school that day. His brother and best friend were not so lucky. his firm, and how he was able to rebuild the company as a tribute to those who died. Astonishingly, some rival companies tried to put them out of business, while others nearly killed them with kindness, offering Cantor Fitzgerald work that there was no one left to do. In the end, the company survived because all who worked there knew that it was the best way they could help their lost friends and colleagues.
