Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, revealed what was going through his head when the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks unfolded.

“The anger was tremendous,” he told Fox News on Sept. 11, 2019. “When I saw President Bush for the first time and he got off the helicopter... he greeted the governor and came up to me... He says to me ‘Rudy, what can I do?’ I said when you get bin Laden let me kill him, or I might have said execute him.”
