It’s crazy it took over an hour from the second collapse at 1:41:00 until 2:44:00 to establish a new command post led by a chief. It just shows how chaotic the situation was and how many department leaders were lost in the collapses.
Dispatcher deserves a Nobel Peace price and the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his calmness and professionalism through the worst day at work ever for any dispatcher in US history.
Incredible how focused on their job with multiple situation changes and the total size of the task being navigated, the professionalism of all heard on these comms remains at a level of calm and clarity having to constantly adjust to suit circumstances. Nothing but respect to all involved and also r i p to those that lost their lives, God Bless.
1:00:44 "Hundred and Fourth floor 50 people trapped with fire burning underneath them" "Okay" Freakin heroes. Almost brings a tear to my eyes. Rip guy's.
Literally not one transmission was “what do we do?” “How are we supposed to get up there?!” Nothing, they just went to work with some of them knowing they weren’t coming back home, but they were going to get as many people out as possible. As quoted by Jay Jonas, one of few survivors of the collapse and the “miracle of stairway B” …“they’re trying to kill us boys”, and they went to work saving Josephine Harris
It’s just as bad every time I listen to it, every year, multiple times. I will never forget this day. I only wish the young gen z flying Palestinian flags and agreeing with Bin Laden would one day understand how stupid they truly are.
First call Was at 8:45 done by battalion chief Joseph Pfeifer from battalion 1. He was the First Chief on scene. He was one of the 4 fdny battalion chiefs that survied. He later wrote a book about that day
@@stephenkerish8059yes, he also said it looked to be aiming towards the tower. But he is the very first transmission you will hear on this audio of this day. He made the first call. Which is videotaped by happenstance. From a routine gas leak to the worst day in the history of the FDNY. He lost his brother that day. It was truly heartbreaking listening to his story
It's amazes me that 22 years later the amount of stress that the dispatching centers alone had for this tragic day in NYC, DC and PA. Every side of emergency services; law enforcement, fire, EMS, and dispatchers were pushed to their limits but still powered through because the hardest thing to do was the right thing to do.
It was pure coincidence that the Naudet brothers were filming a documentary about a probie assigned to the station closest to the WTC and one of the brothers just happened to be filming the firefighters from that station checking for a gas leak on a street with a line of sight directly to the north side of the north tower right when American Airlines flight 11 impacted the building. I’m not aware of any other footage that shows such a clear view of that historic moment. Because they were tagging along with those firefighters, we can correlate much of this dispatch audio to what has happening at ground zero. All other footage is limited to what is happening outside. Today, everyone carries a video camera and events are frequently captured for posterity but in 2001 this was not the case and it’s just pure luck that the Naudets gave us such a revealing perspective to this infamous incident.
According to the NPR article "Tapes Shed More Light on Sept. 11 Chaos" the man was rescued. SMITH: "The man was rescued. It was one of the few lucky breaks heard on the tapes."
Some people say it was a missile and footage was edited but the very first transmission was them saying it was an airplane. There’s no way they can say the government told them to lie about it now.
They don’t care. Literal eyewitnesses and survivors have given their explanations of what they experienced, and i personally am related to eyewitnesses. There was no “bombs” or missiles attacking the building. The building did fall into itself and failed. Many good people died, and its considered insulting to ignore what happened and daydream about covert conspiracy theories. Especially the ones that suggest the passengers didn’t die or didn’t exist.
And here we are …all that did besides hurt the families that are heartbroken…and who know what happened is spread hate…sad and people wonder why the unity isn’t the same
Yeah I noticed that, and he was correct. Luckily not only army personnel came, the entire country did. From construction workers to CEO’s, everyone helped
Marine Capt Fuentes sustained crushing injuries to his skull, lungs, and ribs and lay pinned beneath a steel girder for over two hours. .... you can hear he is trying to keep it together ❤️ ✨️
@@taem223He's in many places on the recording after the second collapse. He was badly injured and going in and out of consciousness and didn't always use the correct callsign, I don't know that he ever referred to himself as "Marine Division." He did the best he could but he couldn't see where he was and was very badly hurt. He survived and spent months recovering, and went on to become a motivational speaker.
I was too, I remember being in class and then the teacher turned the TV on to the news just after the first plane hit and we watched a small part of the news coverage but then our parents were called to come and pick us up only about an hour into the school day.
Please note the dispatcher never said "I know it has been reported" he calmmy did his job. He is a hero, too. Imposdible to fight a fire that high. First it takes forever to climb thst high caring 100lbs of gear. Orio Palmer was a runner, he ran the stairs after taking the elevator as far as it went. Later the elevator quit working trapping firefighters in the elevator. They tried to axe they way out. Never heard if they made it. GOD Bless all the innocent people who died.
He also was responsible for single handedly fixing an elevator to the 40th floor and fixing the repeater radio system so they could get better communication. He was on recording AT the impact site, he made it all the way, he just ran out of time. he is a true 9/11 legend.
I had friends inside the Towers. Some made it out, some did not. The ones that did said as they were walking down the stairs the building security personnel were telling people to return to their offices. Many people turned around and went back in.
People who were out on their boats that day are as much heroes as FDNY and co. A lot of people got on those boats from the towers. Thus helped when the towers fell and that smoke cloud...............
Remember?our borders are easily crossed,,we let anybody and everybody come especially if they're illiterate,poor,and non English speaking.take a look around .9/11 is peanuts compared to the shit show that coming.I bet they're more dangerous Arabs over staying their visa now than 22 years ago ,we can't profile or refuse entry from hostile countries or their student visas and if you mention it the tyrant's on the left will crucify you.They want to flood America with peasants and breeders so in time it will be dummied down and easy to control.
They knew , that’s what makes them so noble . THEY KNEW when they looked up and see. The fire they knew when 2 to 3 blocks away there was debris all over the FFDNY THEY DID KNOW . Don’t get it twisted that’s just what they do they go up when everything in them says not to . That’s why there fucken amazing without Hesitation
I want you to be wrong, but you’re not. It’s them all getting crushed to death and their radio buttons getting impacted by the collapse before they were completely smashed:(
This sounds strange given that we now know the outcome, but I still expect them to walk out and complain that the radio system is rubbish and that they were alive just hidden for a while. If a mere albeit distant watcher thinks this, I wonder if the families thought this, especially the ones who didn't come home
If you go and watch various documentaries that are on youtube, you can hear how the families thought this... thinking they were busy or any other thing other than that the person they loved and cared for was dead and they were never going to see them again.
It’s impressive that it took Chief Pfeiffer within a minute to recognize its not an accident. Even more that they made an official announcement that it was likely a terror attack only 2 minutes after the attack. Probably made the second crash less confusing and more reasonable to believe for those inside the building, especially with some as eyewitnesses.
Yes, Pheiffer and the other man that announced this (I don’t know his name) are true heros. KNOWING it’s an attack and they have no clue what they were going into, could have been biological, but they didn’t care. They were saving as many people as they could. In a way it was biological, as more have died of cancer by far from the pile than on the day.
That first report of people trapped on 1 WTC 106th floor...that was Windows on the World, the restaurant. There were over a hundred people in there for a breakfast meeting in addition to the restaturant staff. None got out.
@@1nemann @Red Raptor yes, that is push to talk (PTT) buttons on handhelds being pressed by stuff hitting them as all those brave folks where coming down with the towers... One of the hardest parts to listen to once you know what it is. I pray that they may they rest in piece and we get to live out our lives without another incident like this occurring.
I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on the color considering it was traveling over 500 mph on impact. And considering every single camera feed trained on the towers after the first impact clearly show an airliner.
@@redraptor9688 I didn't hear bomber because he didn't say bomber, it doesn't matter what anyone hears, we all know it was a passenger plane, so it's moot.
Was doing a blood drive at UNIVERSITY in New Orleans was talking to a couple of donors and every time a plain flew around UNO they would start taking in a foreign language. After a while one of the guys looked really nervous and passed out. About 20 minutes later I was talking to one of the girls working in front of the library and a couple of men from overseas was talking crazy and I told the girl that I was talking to that it sounds like terrorist and she said at the same time that sounds like sabotage. Then the 3or4 men took off around the side of the library. Then the next thing I hear the next day is about the train center and a plain crashing into it. And I was talking to someone in the super market and telling them what we heard the day before and the second plain crashed. I'm freaking out and left the supermarket and stopped and told my mom about it. I also told the blood center what we heard the day before. This is crazy because there were people that I feel knew what was going to happen before it happened. Because they had no reason to be panicking when they were seeing plains over head . Or the people talking off around the building when we said they were talking crazy. I still feel like someone should have checked out what I told them I heard and saw on the blood drive that day. They have cameras there by the library and record showing the boy that passed out that day . And could see pictures of the men from eather Iran or Iraqi. I will always believe that those foreners knew what was going to happen.
The dispatcher did a remarkable job of staying composed and handling all the information
True,Was a technical and professional job.
He was truly remarkable

I cry everytime I listen to this. Brings me back to that day. All I know is, I'll never forget
When rescue personnel give up all their hopes and dreams to respond so others may have hope, each day I say 'Thank you'.
Mad respect to John Lightsey. He held down hard and did so amazingly.

Possible stupid question, but what is meant by “K” in many of the transmissions?
Okay
In the FDNY terms..terns... "K" means the end of the user's transmission.
Comes from old morse code "K" end of transmission
