After receiving an evacuation order, he was helping a woman named Josephine down the stairs when the tower began to collapse. Trapped in debris and surrounded by darkness, he eventually saw a beam of light and crawled toward an opening, where search crews helped him out. He later learned the section that survived was Stairway B, described to him as the “sweet spot” of the catastrophe. Now, 25 years later, he reflects on surviving, doing his job and finding purpose in sharing what happened.

- Connecticut has sent cease-and-desist orders to nine prediction market companies that the state says are operating illegally, including Robinhood, Polymarket and Coinbase.
The Department of Consumer Protection says prediction markets offering sports wagers in Connecticut violate state gaming and unfair practices laws. State officials say concerns include people under 21 participating and wagers involving state collegiate sports.
Robinhood, Polymarket and Coinbase told NBC Connecticut that prediction markets are regulated by the federal government. The state also issued nearly 30 subpoenas, including to media organizations, as it seeks information about how the sites operate and advertise.
Connecticut previously sent similar cease-and-desist letters to three other sites, including Kalshi, which is now involved in lawsuits with the state.

- Nearly 25 years after September 11, Barbara Theurkauf remembers her big brother Tom not simply as a victim of the attacks, but as a witty, loving and athletic brother, father and family man.
Tom was working on the 89th floor of the World Trade Center’s South Tower on September 11, 2001. Today, his legacy lives on through the family traditions he cherished at their longtime Glastonbury home. As new generations grow up without memories of that day, Barbara hopes people remember not just how those lost on 9/11 died, but how they lived.

- NBC Connecticut Responds is uncovering new details about a home improvement contractor accused by homeowners of dramatically increasing prices after work began, and examining why the state allowed his business to remain registered in Connecticut after receiving complaints.
Homeowners in Connecticut and Massachusetts say they paid thousands of dollars to companies connected to contractor John Mongan. Some customers say they checked the companies’ registration with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) before hiring the company.
But our investigation found allegations that his company, JLB Masonry & Waterproofing, may have been registered using the personal information of a North Carolina man who says he never opened the business. DCP would not comment on this allegation.
We examine what state agencies knew, when complaints began coming in, and ask the state why the company’s registration remained active. We also trace Mongan...

- Description
- NBC Connecticut Responds investigates complaints involving contractor John Mongan and two masonry companies, JLB Masonry and Waterproofing Corporation and Brickmaster Chimney and Masonry Corporation. Nine homeowners in Connecticut and Massachusetts told NBC Connecticut they agreed to an initial price before being told of additional problems that would cost thousands more. Some also raised concerns about the work performed.
The contractor has not been linked by authorities to the traveling conmen fraud group previously investigated by NBC Connecticut and has not been charged with a crime. Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection has received complaints involving the companies, with cases still open and under investigation. Monson police have also started an investigation involving Mongan and Brickmaster. Mongan denied upcharging customers after projects began and told NBC Connecticut he would refund one homeowner, though that homeowner says it has not happened.
