Leonard
W. Hatton
1956 - 2001
|
Special Agent Leonard W. Hatton was
assigned to the New York Division of the FBI at
the time of his death. On September 11, 2001, Special
Agent Hatton was killed in the terrorist attack
on the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City.
SA Hatton was on his way to work in the New York
Division office when he saw smoke and fire coming
from the North Tower of the WTC. On his own initiative,
he responded directly to the WTC site and, from
the roof of the Marriott Hotel, he reported the
second airliner strike on the South Tower.
Due to falling debris, he moved from
the roof and joined the New York Fire Department
firefighters in evacuating occupants. SA Hatton
was inside the WTC when the buildings collapsed.
