Storycorps: “When Moises Rivas was hired, I was assigned to train him.”

A few years after immigrating from the Ivory Coast, Sekou Siby began working in the kitchen at Windows on the World–a restaurant at the top of Tower 1 at the World Trade Center.

On September 11, 2001, Sekou lost 72 colleagues in the attacks, many of them also immigrants.

Sekou was supposed to be working that morning but he had switched shifts with another kitchen worker named Moises Rivas, who was killed that day.

He came to StoryCorps to remember Moises and the many other coworkers he lost. Here his story at the Storycorps website.
