We shall never forget the 9/11 heroes who lost their lives.
But I can’t get the story of Port Authority Police Officer Christopher Amoroso out of my head.
From North Bergen, New Jersey, Christopher Charles Amoroso was a straightforward man who enjoyed baseball, football, hockey, and the Yankees.
Chris had two sisters and four brothers. With his daughter Sophia Rose, he enjoyed watching the History Channel.
enjoyed his work.
He intended to be a police officer after working for Consolidated Dairies as a route manager. He enrolled in the Port Authority Police Academy in 1999 and graduated in January 2000, having dedicated himself for five and a half years. He was prepared to serve with the same selflessness that would define his legacy.
On a rotation, Christopher visited the World Trade Centre on September 11, and he loved his job. He had the option of going to Newark Airport, but destiny had other ideas.
Shortly before the second jet struck, Christopher and his coworkers took the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown to the Twin Towers.
When he was last seen, he was guiding people to safety. He dashed back into the chaos.
Last moments
In order to honour Christopher’s bravery, Todd Maisel took pictures of him saving a woman who had a large welt beneath his eye before heading back to the buildings.
He kept going back to the towers at 29, even though he had a wife and child at home.
He was covered in blood, and his lungs were filled with smoke. had the option to stop but chose not to. Duty and compassion kept him going even though he had gone well beyond what was asked.
It took three agonising months for his body to be recovered from Ground Zero.
His daughter, Sophia Rose, and wife, Jamie, had to make due without him.
The second tower fell, and I knew it. I had a nasty feeling about it. In 2021, Jamie Amoroso told NBC, “I just knew.”
A year prior to 9/11, Jaime and Christopher tied the knot.
She was aware of his uniqueness, and Todd Maisel’s photo emphasised his bravery. Then, Christopher’s behaviour showed who he was.
Jaime asserted, “I was given the photo.” It was both terrible and great. We have evidence of his bravery. He kept her safe.
Who was the woman in the picture?
The woman in the picture never identified herself, even after numerous questions.
Jamie frequently pondered whether she lived. She gradually persuaded herself that it was too late and that her husband had not saved the woman; possibly she had been trapped in the collapse.
Despite not knowing who she was, Todd Maisel will always remember the picture.
“I am well informed. According to Maisel, he recalled everything as if it were yesterday.
Amoroso was among the first officers I saw. Chris wanted to assist the woman in trouble. If the picture brought him back to life. At the time, they viewed Chris as a hero. Maisel admitted to losing two frames to NBC.
Few could have foreseen what would happen when the woman was finally identified after 20 years. After multiple social media posts, Maisel’s photo finally received a response:
Officer Amoroso is seen in this photo assisting my mother, Suman Dhamija. The commenter claims that after running down the second-story stairs amid all the smoke and debris, my mother, who had severe asthma, was unable to breathe.After lifting her, Officer Amoroso departed from the towers. This image was captured before to the second tower collapsing.
The real story behind the picture
That fateful day, Dhamija was employed at the towers.
She remembers what Christopher Amoroso said, even if she lives in India.
“Calm down,” he said. “We can help,” she remarked in an interview with NBC.
According to Dhamija, she never thanked the 29-year-old police officer. Without Christopher, Dhamija believes she would have perished in the assault.

“I send my best wishes to his loved ones and family. “I wouldn’t have made it without him,” she told NBC.
Grandmother Suman Dhamija said that although Christopher Amoroso’s life was cruelly ended, hers went on. “I always felt bad because he was so young and I lived my life,” she remarked.
Dhamija wrote to his widow, Jaime, after learning who had saved her: “Tell her that she had such a wonderful husband and that I’m alive because of him.”
When Jaime heard the news, she started crying.
I’m shocked that she’s still alive. Jaime remarked, “I’m amazed she has the same face.”
She is his final friend. He went in to rescue as many as he could. hearing it said.
Final words from Christopher Amororo
They forged a new connection over two decades after 9/11. After all these years, Jaime Amoroso finally got to meet Suman Dhamija, whom her husband had rescued. The video conference was used for the emotional meeting.
You both have the same appearance. “I would have recognised you from that picture if I had passed you,” Jaime remarked tearfully. “I’m happy he worked that day so you could spend time with your loved ones.”
Was he afraid? Jaime asked quietly.
I’m grateful, “I was scared, but he wasn’t,” Dhamija said.
The 9/11 rescuers were the true heroes, giving their life to save others in a world where the word “hero” is overused.
His daughter was written by him.
During Christopher Amoroso’s funeral, his sister-in-law, Andrea Conway, read a poignant letter he wrote to Sophia Rose in the spring of 2000. Christopher wrote an intensely felt passage:
“I am the luckiest man alive.” I could say that I have experienced true love and happiness if anything were to happen to me. I am aware of that from both you and your mother. Nothing would change if I could change my life. Have no regrets. You have no idea how much I adore you both.
The bravery and selflessness of all first responders who put their lives in danger to save others are symbolised by Christopher Amoroso’s passing.
Although Christopher and his fellow Port Authority officers suffered the greatest single-day loss in U.S. law enforcement history (37), they should also be respected for their contributions to the Fire Department’s loss.
Christoper’s daughter, wife, and other family members ought to be doing well. To honour him, please post this story on Facebook!
