[Robin DeHaven]: “You didn’t know if the building was going to collapse, there was going to be explosions, fire, or what. And I just saw the smoke, saw the people and knew they needed help. They were trapped up there. One guy was yelling  ‘Somebody help us!’”

Painter’s union member Robin DeHaven saved six lives with his ladder when that suicide plane crashed into the Austin Texas office building.  The Iraq vet got his job through the Helmets To Hardhats program and knew how to stay calm in a crisis.

[DeHaven 2]: “So when I jumped out of the truck I was sayin’, you know, I’m comin’, I’m comin’. I’ve got the ladder, I’m comin’ over there.”
