Alison Crowther holds a painting of her son Welles Crowther, known as the “Man in the Red Bandana,” on Aug. 3 at her home in Nyack, N.Y. Survivors of the Sept 11 attack on the World Trade Center reported seeing a man identified as the 24-year old Crowther, covering his face in a red bandana and leading people to safety before he was killed when the South Tower collapsed.
