St. Francis alumnus reflects on surviving Sept. Il terror attacks

ERIC SONDHEIMER Los Angeles Times KEVIN DANNI will watch his son, Luke, play for the Golden Knights in Friday night's game against Muir.

Thursday marks the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that saw two planes flown into the Twin Towers in New York, killing nearly 3,000.

Kevin Danni was there. The St. Francis High graduate and father of Golden Knights linebacker Luke Danni reflects back every anniversary on how he escaped from the 61st floor of the South Tower.

"I'm so lucky there were so many who sacrificed to save me," he said.

Danni told his story to a rapt audience this week at a meeting of the YMCA of the Foothills QB Club, where he is president.
