There are estimates of between 250k-500k people who will contract at keast 1 of the 69 cancers and systems disorders from being exposed to the toxins and debris floating in the air in the subsequent months of clean-up. It's not just the clean -up crews, but students returning to schools in that area; people returning to work, residents.
I could see it thru your description. What a ride to Manhattan. Stoic trained bravery. Thank you. I feel all of you were there for the rest of us who wanted to help, too. 3 brothers!
Did you know Carl Bini from Rescue 5? Lived in the Bay Terrace area. He was off that day too working on his car so I found out. He was someone a year or 2 older than me growing up.
Great story but Joe’s wife needs to take her conversation elsewhere. I could hear background talking the whole time. Soo rude of her while he’s recording!!
Admire the bravery, no end. But how do you get water pressure to hoses 90+ stories up? Seemed like an impossible task from the get-go. I also heard the FDNY (heading up the stairs) slowed egress for many would-be survivors. Talk about a shit-show. RIP x
Where firefighters not supposed to go up and try to rescue people and fight the fires? Lots of people were trapped and needed help. Nobody thought the buildings would collapse because no high rise fire has ever caused a collapse b4 or since WTC 1,2, & 7. They found military grade thermite in the dust n debris which burns hot enough to melt steel. Regular fire and jet fuel can’t even soften hardened steel. Where did the thermite come from? Watch “Loose Change”. Also, high rise buildings have places for hoses to attach to the buildings water supply. Or have hoses already in place on spools. The stairways were very narrow too. Ideally they would have taken elevators up but the planes destroyed all elevator service supposedly. Or explosions in the basement everyone heard where the elevator motors were. It was a perfect storm of bad circumstances.
I don't think that you actually get pressure up 100 stories. Pumps take the water up to tanks stored on the roof and the pressure is then downward (that's how it works in my little 6 story building). How much storage capacity is in those tanks, and how fast those pumps replenish the tanks, I cannot say, but the pressure wouldn't have lasted long under those circumstances, even if the water lines were still intact.
Not a shitshow at all. They were doing their jobs and they saved hundreds of people. The FF that lost their lives, running up the stairs, did so while trying to save others. There were nothing but heroes, at the World Trade Center that day, Tuesday, September 11, 2001. They were put in the worst situation imaginable, under the most impossible of circumstances. Thank you For Your Bravery ~🌹Never🇺🇲Forget🌹~
Thank you my warrior. My dad was NYC fireman on 1940"s to 1950's

It wasn't just fires. Both towers had huge chunks blown out of them.
Matt...get a life...and an education
