OTL: Man in the Red Bandanna

[FashizzleNYYSux]

RIP Welles. A true hero. Go BC!

[GLH03]

I dont get how you could dislike this, it doesn't make sense. Perhaps Taliban??

[MrJustinTV]

me and my friend are wearing red bandannas this year in lacrosse

[rassell99]

inspiring to me and all of my classmates and i hope to you all also



[4mycharlieboy]

Ever since seeing this amazing story of a remarkable man and his loving relationship with his father, I have been wearing a small piece of a red bandanna tied to the belt loop of all my jeans. People stop me and ask what is with the bandanna piece. I have a wonderful opportunity to share this story of this altruistic hero of a truly great person. This is in tribute to a son and a fathers unbreakable bond. Blessings and someday, peace of heart for his family and friends.

[aryssa1234]

we watched this video in bible class because our school theme this year is hero and wells was a real hero

[ItzEthanDuh]

@aryssa1234 Religion is what caused this tragedy. Religion must be rid of!

[smpennst]

@ItzEthanDuh let people have their own personal beliefs just calm down and believe in the decloration of Independents. Other people may have opinios tooo

[NewMoneyShow]

this guy went to my camp!!!

[feufbefyfef]

@NewMoneyShow Yo you go to Becket??!!

[NewMoneyShow]

@feufbefyfef yah

[feufbefyfef]

@NewMoneyShow What's your name? (I was in ranger the past year).

[NewMoneyShow]

@feufbefyfef oh its lou. yah we probs all just came here after i posted that link

[ffdeadhead]

I am dumber for reading some of these comments. This young man was a hero. The people that were murdered by these scumbag terrorists were working folks who died because of the viral hatred of our American way of life....The very way of life that allows idiots like some of you the priviledge to post your stupid comments and ridiculous conspiracy theories. And trust me, your conspiracy theories ARE stupid. RIP to Welles and all the other hard working people that were murdered 9-11-01

[dustynator10]

I'm going to get another red bandana it has always had meaning to me. My father worked as a young man on sheep ranches. Later he had a white handkerchief always ready to aid students as a teacher. Yes a kerchief was the sign of ready to help in my family. It had meaning for me before but now it might help guide me to remember to live for others not just myself. I can no longer run up flights of stairs. It's a time of life kind of thing. But that doesn't mean the game is over. Oh, Wells thanks.

[YoooItsRex]

This kid is a fucking hero.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@razorback6111 you're a liar too.

[razorback6111]

@MoneyIsSilver

would you mind telling me exactly what i lied about?

[nosaj144]

has anyone noticed the date was 9/11 and the # to call in a emegency is 911

[shine77777]

just goes to show that for every life lost that day there is a story..and his is amazing..a real hero.. peace \|||/

[La2059]

@MachineExperiment1 What's your problem?

[andreyiscool69]

@MachineExperiment1 are you a terrorist?

[RivalForums]

If this video doesnt make you tear up then you are not a real man...

[CuddersMescudi]

I pressed the dislike button because I can no other reason you can make that out however you can

[kiloggolik]

@CuddersMescudi rebel without a cause.. lol.

[scyntell]

Part of this video was played at church today. Tears were shed as we remember that amongst evil doers are HEROES!

[sjmoats1]

puts a lump in ur throat

[Vansrules06]

Who jokes about this?! Have some freaking respect!

[CharlesSessionTV]

Was He In A Gang?.

[craftstarnoob]

xbox 360 is tagged? what view whores.

[craftstarnoob]

A true hero. This video made me tear up.

[supitsgab]

:'(

[TheyAllHere]

I wish I could meet a great man like him

[Chellopuddin]

Terrorists can watch this video too- hence the dislikes.

[TheJizzNugget]

i saw this on tv

[ExtreamThrills]

moving

[browneyedgirl899]

maybe those five people disliked because this video is so sad

[fvlc31]

people who dont like this can go die

[IDKIMGAMING]

Hes a Blood! 

[DizmoTrance]

If this didn't get your eyes worked up, than you're an ass.

I'm so thankful for people like this young man.

Put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself if you could walk back up them stairs.

I just want to give the father a huge hug... /hug

[ReggieWriteous]

Christian Rapper! Youtube/reggiewriteous

[FalconAlpaca]

@ReggieWriteous show some respect, asshole. People died.

[serndippity]

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP! AND GET SOME RESPECT TO THE DEAD.

[xaustinx15]

obviously who ever pressed the dislike button is disliking the fact that he died.

[a94wang]

@xaustinx15 so whoever pressed the like button is liking the fact that he died?

[xaustinx15]

@a94wang No, I'm just saying some people are dumb and dislike it for a different reason that is not the main point of the video. or there could just be assholes or terrorists watching these videos. not sure.

[TheUltimateMw2Master]

4 people dont care for this tragic day, Assholes

[m417k]

@TheUltimateMw2Master lol your stupid.

[tehcheeseitman]

who would be so heartless as to dislike this

[m417k]

By ESPN Really??

[FalconAlpaca]

@proclaimgod fuck you man. Show some respect for the dead. you aren't helping anyone.

[StraitUpSuburbanite]

@binbaz90 Thank you, don't worry, most of us are really decent, it's just that the not so respectful, decent ones, are the more vocal ones on the internet. Take care, and stay safe.

[657barber2]

MoneyIsSilver how dare you dishonor the people who died that day and the family’s that they left behind.

[Betruul]

I'm a lacrosse goalie myself in highschool. I'm going to wear a bandana under my helmet from now on

[TheArtistNinja]

I remember the 9/11 janitor. He has the last key to all of the rooms in the twin towers.

[mecrazy123]

so much love and respect to this man <3

You are a hero. My hero.

[ProclaimIt]

Red, the color of blood shed to save others. No greater love than a man would give his life for others!

[StraitUpSuburbanite]

@binbaz90 That doesn't make 9/11 any worse. I saw a documentary in class about the Palestinian conflicts, and it's an absolutely horrible circumstance, and it's tragic, especially since such a events are so common. Stay safe, sincerely, United States of America.

[BlogDollars]

Hero.

[bighead3239]

wow :( i am so inspired i can't stop watching.

[clonedintoevil]

tom rinaldi is a fantastic writer. such an amazing story

[Chinnyagua]

his father spoke at the ceremony

[MoneyIsSilver]

Everything you saw on TV on 9-11 was FAKED!!! CGI was used to make it look like planes were crashing into buildings.

Watch September Clues...investigate the collapse of building 7 and the impossible physics of the plane flights.

[JungleJargon]

@MoneyIsSilver I saw the buildings get hit in real life and on TV.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@JungleJargon You didn't see planes hit the wtc for the same reason you didn't see unicorns - they weren't there.

Everything you saw on TV on 9-11 was FAKED!!! CGI was used to make it look like planes were crashing into buildings.

Watch September Clues...investigate the collapse of building 7 and the impossible physics of the plane flights.

[bbri1991]

@MoneyIsSilver fuck you, you are a disgrace to this country and the exact type of nut job that makes me sick to my stomach.

[Ryanx444]

@MoneyIsSilver no your full of lies..that is really funny...k so the building just randomly collapsed and the planes just dissapeared...your so stupid i hope you die.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@bbri1991 Multiple and repeated people-searches have attempted to backtrack and contact the alleged families of those passengers - to no avail. Thus, the prevailing indications of those longstanding investigations suggest that none of these people have ever existed. Moreover, the stories created around the alleged passengers simply do not stand up to scrutiny.

[bbri1991]

@MoneyIsSilver talking to people like you is just wrong.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@bbri1991 at least I use logic, and not just ad hominem attacks..

[Kingsman08]

@MoneyIsSilver actually, i must disagree, i Lost family who was on the flight that his the second tower, and i am absolutly amazed that you think it was all fake, do you understand the pain my family and and friends were watching that plane hit the second tower and realizing it was the plane my grandma was on? this all was very real, and idk what your problem is, but i suggest you get help. obviously you didnt lose a loved one, but out of repsect for the ones like me who did, plz just shut up.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@Kingsman08 I think its despicable that you lie about losing a family member. What was there name then? Can you supply pictures and background info? Because no one else has.

[Kingsman08]

@MoneyIsSilver first off, i wouldnt even give you my personal information, and the ones who know her personal information along with the thousands of others, are the law inforcement.... You are an absolute disgrace to the Nation and to the ones who have lost family and friends. you make me sick....

[MoneyIsSilver]

@Kingsman08 Fuck you with your fake indignation. How fuckin dare you lie about such a thing? You're garbage and make everyone sick. Kill yourself you lying piece of shit.

the names are public via the memorial sites..so who is the family member who died?

You're a fuckin lying sonuvabitch.

[Kingsman08]

@MoneyIsSilver Mary Wahlstrom, was her name thank you very much! May God Bless you.... and forgive you for your stupidity.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@Kingsman08 Fuckin liar, your fake identity doesn't hold up. There is no Mary Wahlstrom listed as dying on 9-11 in the SSDI. Fake picture, fake ID, and piece of shit whatever-the-fuck-you-are peddling fake tears. You really are a piece of work. Wanna tell me what realty or mortgage co she worked for so we can prove that as a lie too?

[Kingsman08]

@MoneyIsSilver..... she was very much on American Flight 11..... i have nothing to prove to you..... and you are the piece of work.... you want all this information about all the ones who lost their lives.... i think you are a con..... so why dont you give where you work and the address on where you work and your personal Info? until you give your info, i am not giving any personal info, def when it comes to family! Got to hell you sycho path.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@Kingsman08 uh huh..if you were telling the truth you wouldn't have just said your grandma, you would have mentioned her fake daughter too - you fucking liar.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@Kingsman08 Her fuckin daughter isn't on the SSDI either..you're fuckin busted, and you know it

[Kingsman08]

@MoneyIsSilver he daught (My aunt) was Carolyn Beug, and yes she died too... you dont know anything, so stop trying to proove my family members didnt die, or that 9/11 didnt happen.... because it did, and it changed many lives.... stop.....

[MoneyIsSilver]

@Kingsman08 Good work looking it up and mentioning it too late. If you were honest, you would have mentioned TWO family members from the beginning, but you slipped and got caught in your lie.

Really, a mormon who worked for Van Halen?? Who writes this shit?

[razorback6111]

@Kingsman08

ignore people like that. He's a moron and will get what he deserves. He probably already has. I'm truly sorry for you and your family's loss. Usually I don't get anywhere near as vile as I was in those comments but I don't stand for stuff like that. God bless you man.

[Kingsman08]

@razorback6111 i am going to just ignore it, he is not worth my energy, I am A christian, and i know the truth, and thank you, I know where they are, and thats what matters, God Bless you Razor, and Your Family and this Great Nation.... I will prayer for others who lost loved ones, even tho it was ten years ago, they will never be forgotten. you have a great night, and i am done arguing with this..... person...... he def needs some help... he is heartless and is only out to hurt people.

[razorback6111]

@MoneyIsSilver There definitely is a Mary Wahlstrom in the SSDI. It says Born April 19, 1923, and died September 11, 2001. Show some respect or go to Hell. Maybe you should learn how to use the internet correctly if you can't find a simple name in a government database.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@razorback6111 So Mary is on there but her daughter isn't??

[razorback6111]

@MoneyIsSilver

my god you moron why would her daughter be there if she didn't die? piece of shit. i'd suggest you go cry to your mom because no one likes you but i forgot she doesn't like you either. so go cry to a shrink because at least a shrink will pretend like she cares. i'm done commenting on this. this page deserves more respect than it's getting. Get off this page. Show respect for the deceased. Go fail in another part of life. And when all is said and done, rot in hell. 

[MoneyIsSilver]

@razorback6111 Her daughter DID supposedly die next to her on flight 11 jack ass!

[razorback6111]

@MoneyIsSilver

So EVERYONE that claims a family member or friend was lost on that day is a liar hired by the media? You actually think you have all this figured out. You are insane. You really are. So ignorant to everything that is right in front of you. Go fuck a hole i the ground. That's the best you'll ever get.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@razorback6111 I wonder how much you fuckers get paid?? I mean, they can print up whatever they need, but my guess is that they have something on you too.

[razorback6111]

@MoneyIsSilver

Wow. I must have gotten promoted to now be a secret agent hired by CNN to spread lies about 9/11. And I thought I was a normal guy laying in bed with my dog watching Lost. You one of the most idiotic and naive people i have ever encountered. I'm gonna go interact with intelligent humans now. Go get a college degree.

[MoneyIsSilver]

@razorback6111 Fuck you for your fake indignation. Sorry fuckface, but I know you're a lying shitbag. Its absolutely disgusting how vile you are to lie about such a thing.

I missed her on the SSDI, but that doesn't explain the hundreds that aren't on there. Not to mention there is no death certificate for her, and no one can verify what mortgage company she worked for. There is no background for her that holds up to scrutiny.

[RafaelRocks2011]

<3 {RIP}

[offizzinaz2004]

"There is no "I" in team"..... this is true, we are either one with or not with. Welles represents God in his spirit to help others. Welles is not lost, Welles is with us in his example of duty, courage and compassion. We are not here on earth forever but we must use our time here to help those in need reach God through mercy and love. I am sure he must have felt like running out of that tower like everyone else.

[213SEMPERFI]

Beautiful. Never Forget 9/11

[JungleJargon]

@binbaz90 It has been proven that a lot of Palestinians are actually Jews and Abraham sent all of his seven other Arab sons in different directions so that Isaac's descendants would inherit the land of Israel.

Where is the problem?

[Curlyq1515]

@binbaz90 burn in hell

[657barber2]

capra7412 you are a no life pice of scum

[JungleJargon]

When I saw molten steel pouring out from the side of one of the buildings, on TV, I said the building would collapse.Then I said that I thought the other one would come down too. I don't know why anyone went into those buildings.

I knew the buildings were coming down.

I suppose that, since we all have to go some day, there are not many much better ways to go, saving lives, although it is such a great loss to the family and friends.

Osama bin will face his Maker.

[MikeAcco]

I've watched this too many times to count. Today, Sept 11, 2011, I'm flying a Red Bandana along with my US flag, in honor of Welles. I used to carry one years ago myself and will resume so, also in honor of Welles. My heart goes out to Mr & Mrs Crowther, who were blessed with the ultimate honorable son.

[rjoyce1993]

I've had to watch this multiple times, truly inspiring, RIP Welles

[UnRatedProz]

[bathingapes112]

[MISSLINDA2332]

[Kingsman08]

I wanna thank ESPN for airing this story, I was in HS on 9/11 and watching it all happen all on tv touched me,,,, and as a proud American and an Athlete 9/11/01 changed my life... life became a gift, and the lives sacraficed that day become a treasure never forgotten.... thank you so much for the ones who gave their lives that day... You and your famlies will never be forgotten and will forever be in our prayers.

[fisheh13]

Seeing the father cry really breaks your heart..

[ThyDailyNoise]

That one dislike up there? That person doesn't have a soul.

[zooyorkk]

@ThyDailyNoise who are you to say someone doesn't have a soul?

[FinlandianQueen]

We watched this yesterday in school. I'm not one to say I cry over anything, but I almost cried. On Monday I've decided to wear a red bandana.

[KevinMalloy9]

i think that these are the type of stories that should be told on this day. This man was a true hero, he put others first. I admire him truely.

[ryanrox17]

i have heard many stories about 9/11, but theres something about this story in particular that makes me cry the most

[Verret2011]

i wish he survived also ! .. this is so sad

[chip1122]

Who would dislike this??

[godofwar1012]

I cried after this...I have no problem admitting it.

[3ICHORN]

who the hell would dislike this? wen welles dad asked god to take him instead..i could finish this becouse i was full of tears.

[strouse713]

This is one of the hardest video to get through without crying for his loss and his parents!! Everyone should be like Welles, selfless, inspiring and a wonderful human being.

[strouse713]

This is one of the hardest video to get through without crying for his loss and his parents!!  Everyone should be like Welles, selfless, inspiring and a wonderful human being.

[johnfuckingwayne]

i dont necessarily like the government but i love the people of my country. this is just another example of why

[browneyedgirl65]

Captioning would be nice.

[srweaver69]

I'm a producer and I think this is one of the finest pieces I've ever seen. Spectacular!!!

[kimberlyhaight]

Mr. and Mrs. Crowther... God bless you and your precious son... you raised a fine young man and a true American hero! God bless you today and every day... you and your son will always be in my heart, Forever! What a beautiful family ... absolutely beautiful! :)

Kim Haight, Golden, Colorado (United Airlines)

[stumblepro1000]

[G5C09823]

I cried in history when my teacher showed it. It is really touching. He is a great hero to me and my class.

[eniardlovrym]

They showed this video in school today. Half the people in my history class cried. Welles is truly a hero.

[ixasou]

Definition of Hero. Welles - you clearly define and display the meaning of heroics and unselfishness on that day. Your story has touched many lives. God Bless You.

[iToWnLaX23]

[mmeagh]

[Hatinonthehaters]

incredible act of selflessness..... a fine definition of Hero. God bless and may your family be at peace.

[Hatinonthehaters]

[FASTSTANG7]

True American !!!

[Jaletti47]

[joeyhamilton2]

This Saturday UCF fans are wearing red bandanas for their football game against Boston College to honor this guy.

[CriticalNotion]

uh soooowooop?

[jkmeans]

Don't know if anyone caught this, but pause at 2:33. His ambition was to "...make the best of everything, and sail around the world with the woman I love". Unreal.

[trainer305]

What a great story. So many heros came out of 9/11

[vanksism]

Proud to be from Rockland right about now. Greatness lived there. God bless the Crowther's.
