My Dad Died In The World Trade Center

My father died when I was just a kid when I was 12. He died in the World Trade Center. My name is David Ferrugio and I'm the host of DEAD Talks. This story is my experience losing my father on September 11th. I did it straight through with no edits on the fly so there's a lot more I could say. But, hey. So it goes.

My dad worked on the 105th Floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center with Cantor Fitzgerald. I was 12 years old when it happened and I share my perspectives of this experience as a 33 year old man today. I spoke unscripted, alone and from the heart. I hope this story resonates with some people and that I was able to express my thoughts thoroughly, as my goal was to keep it raw and honest. That day sucked for a lot of people outside of me. September 11th losing my father shaped my life forever and this is my story which inspired this podcast sharing other people's stories of grief and loss.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end, it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12 he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. Grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma or whatever it may be, DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about. You may cry; but, you also may laugh.
