- In memory of Captain Patrick "Paddy" Brown.
If you want to learn more about Captain Brown, there is a marvelous book called "Miss You, Pat" that is filled with poignant stories about this wonderful man. www.amazon.com/...
On September 11th Paddy was trying to get to the 83rd floor, right under where the plane hit, to help his best friend Captain Terry Hatton, because Hatton's company was trapped in a smaller collapse of the building. Paddy and another of Terry's friends, Timmy Higgins, were both trying to reach Terry to get him out. RIP Paddy, Timmy and Terry. Paddy's last radio transmission before the North Tower fell was "This is ladder 3, we're going up." Heroes, all 343 of them.
"They're not heroes because they died, they're heroes because of what they did every day."
-FF Paul Hashagan, of Rescue 1. Terry Hatton's company.
RIP Terry, Paddy and all firefighters killed that day.
+Flying Pancake it was more like 3 truck on 40 going up. if you listen to the recordings thats what is said
I appreciate this information. Big piece of the puzzle.
pop thank you Paddy was my sons Uncle
Do you know More about that partial collapse and the story of Rescue 1 inside the Building? And from where do you have that story?
@@alex1997t Check out Tim Brown’s story on the Koncrete podcast, should come up if you search it on here
I return here every so often to be inspired again. Never will forget what you did and your bravery. You are a true hero Patrick brown.
Whenever you watch a TV show about firefighters, Rescue Me or anything like that, everyone thinks they're overly dramatic. In a lot of cases they are, but this man put any of those shows to shame. One of the greatest firefighters and men to ever walk this earth. A true hero. I never met him, but I think of him almost every time we're heading into a job
Georgiy Potulov I was there. A beautiful tribute.
God bless you Paddy Brown. You will never be forgotten. ☘️
I say his name, on the way to a fire call. He gives me strength and courage. Im a career firefighter in Melbourne Australia. He will always mean something to somebody, who he never met, and in another country. He had the ability to touch the hearts of firefighters everywhere. God bless you Paddy and your family.
Very well stated; a comment that is commensurate to a powerful video, and an even more powerful man.
We love australia...be safe....tomk fdny
I had the privilege of knowing Patty from his time at Rescue 2. He worked with my dad, and was part of an elite group of heroes (most of whom were murdered in the 9/11 attacks). This was an amazing bunch of men and I consider them all family. Not only was Patty a hero, he was just a great guy. The world suffered a great loss when we lost Patty. I miss him everyday, more than that I miss that I no longer have the chance to see him. God Bless you Brother. Thank you for being the great man you were.
The words to properly describe this tribute, do not exist!!
RIP Captain Paddy Brown
FDNY legend and a true hero. There will never be another quite like him. RIP Paddy.
The 911 tragedy had not been in a while but Captain Brown's tribute brought it all back. Once again I could not stop my tears. He was one of the best as were the others who died with the building. I have lost so many brother and sister firefighters. My prayers with those who died that day, and also the brothers and sisters of the Granite Mountain Hot Shot Crew 3 years ago today. RIP.
May we never forget the sacrifices that our first responders did that fateful day. God and the angels are with them in heaven and I hope each family and friend finds peace knowing that they are in a beautiful place that we will all reach one day with faith. God bless you all and God bless America!
There were 7000 people in Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. It was overwhelming when they played America the Beautiful.
I miss you Paddy, it was good to hear your voice with the Rescue 1 video Firehouse. There's legends, and then there's Paddy, RIP!
I could watch this a million times.... miss you every day Pat. Every single day. What a remarkable man you are! Thank you for sharing so much of your wisdom, patience and compassion with me. And a pretty darn good neighbor too!
At Paddy's funeral at St Patrick's Cathedral, Mike Moran of 3 Truck where Paddy was Captain said, "the guys that flew the planes in those buildings that day thought they were going to find 72 virgins, and instead they got Captain Paddy Brown!"
Before the collapse of the tower, the command post ordered him to leave the building with his team as it was very dangerous, he refused. This is the transmission
"Command Post to Ladder 3,
Command Post to Ladder 3, get out
of the building! " Capt. Brown
responded: “This is the officer of
Ladder Co. 3. I refuse the order! I
am on the 44th floor and we have
too many burned people with me. I
I'm not leaving them! "
After that, Paddy and his company started climbing again to help Rescue Company 1 who were trapped on the 83rd floor, he belonged to Rescue 1 years ago. "This is ladder 3, we're going up.", that was his last transmission responding to the call for help from Rescue 1, minutes later the tower collapsed and unfortunately everyone died.
Great man I’ve watched a lot of his videos he made the ultimate sacrifice and New York lost one of its best. RIP brother
I listened to the tapes and read the transcripts of the radio transmissions. I know Terry Hatton issued a May Day after a battalion chief issued another May Day to clear the building upon seeing Tower 2 collapse. I have no doubt Paddy and 3 Truck would have continued up. A former Marine, Paddy would never brothers behind.
Pat as 9/11 approaches I think of you and Ralph Burns who were brothers in sobriety as well as yoga pals. Ralph passed one week before you did and I know that both of you are heaven because you were both great men. Pat meeting you and breaking bread together a couple times, I knew that I stood in the shadow of greatness, you were sensitive and truly cared about others no matters what class or lifestyle - we miss you great man.
" 3 truck ..and we're still heading UP" wow... that gives me chills.
3 truck and we are still heading up. Simple words, profound meaning.
Gotta remember the time he was a Lieutenant on Rescue 1 in 1991.
What an amazing video tribute to NYC's bravest Paddy Brown. Never forget Paddy & the 343 who made the supreme sacrifice on 9/11. R.I.P
Paddy Brown made Father Mychal Judge a better firefighter, and Father Mike made Paddy a better Christian. How blessed they were to go together to God!
"When we lose someone we love and we don't know what to do, we should just pray and worship. Thank you Lord for their lives... for everything they brought into our lives." +Saint Mychal Judge
Rest in Peace brother. Your legacy will live on forever.
God bless you, Captain and all your brothers and sisters, living and lost. We will never, ever forget your sacrifice for us that day.
Just got back from 3 Truck today where Paddy was Captain...bless them all and all 343 of their brothers
Very moving. What an extraordinary man. Rest in peace, Captain Brown.
R.I.P. until we see you again.

Nice seeing the picture with Captain Paddy and Father M. Judge.....
You did it right brother....see ya at the big one.
R.I.P. Captain.
Patrick was a patriot. RIP Patrick!
Very touching! RIP Brother!
I believe he was one of the most decorated officers in the FDNY. He started on Fire Patrol and went on to become FDNY Capt.
I read about Paddy. Must have been a wonderfully brave man. God will mind him.
STRENGTH & HONOR !!! SALUTE
May God Bless you Captain .

FDNY 🚒 TRUCK 3
So sad 😞...
One of my favorite stories about Paddy is the double rooftop rope rescue. A photographer caught the moment of film and it was front page. Paddy and the men of 3 Truck saved 2 live in a span of minutes. But they broke two rules doing it. They used the same rope twice and had nothing to anchor it to. So the tied off on a big burly firefighter, and Paddy lowered two men down to pull two guys to safety that were about to jump. Not allowed to break rules! The brass was going to transfer Paddy to the furthest reaches of the realm. There was such a public outcry, the brass did a Gilda Radnor: "Never mind."
That’s only part of the story of why he was transferred, he openly spoke out against Mayor Dinkins and that’s why he was transferred !
Ladder 3 on 9/11. 11 men responded and 11 did not come back:
Captain Patrick J. Brown
Lieutenant Kevin Donnelly
Michael Carroll
James Raymond Coyle
Gerard Dewan
Jeffery John Giordano
Joseph Maloney
John Kevin McAvoy

Joseph J. Ogren
Steven John Olson
Well Captain Patti Brown was born on my birthday
Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where death lurked. They went there to put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires. - Edward F. Croker
RIP Patrick Brown and the other 342 that went in those towers that day.
It's "Go Rest High on that Mountain" by Ronan Tynan
