15th Anniversary of 9.11.2001 My 9/11 Story: Sal Cassano 

d al that’s for sure

I thought the same thing. I had to skip because it pissed me off how much they were talking.

Thanks for the heads up

There is always a good samaritan in the comments section. thanks!

Hahaha. Was thinking the same thing. What a bad-ass that Sal Cassano is.

Thank you. I skipped that! 👍🏼

A single line, working from the bottom of the fire, could have saved a lot of lives. For sure though, that would not have taken a thousand or more firemen and equipment all clustered so near the scene. They should have been staged further away.

My dad was a fireman when I was a little kid. He was also a medic and the captain of SCUBA recovery . I am a retired nurse, I have a lot of my dad’s mannerisms and life’s passions. I don’t see most fireman standing and not trying to run up and try to save people, even when it is in a sky scraper. People that are in these professions that have that heroic heart do not have it in them to stand by and not try to save lives , but worry about their own life first. I, like my father, have that same passion. Many times I have put my own life at risk to help save another without thinking about it until pointed out to me later. It is just embedded in some people and it doesn’t waiver.

It was completely unprecedented. They weren’t prepared, they didn’t know what it would take. They tried their best. Hindsight is 20/20.

@@oliviad8210Exactly. They had never faced anything so bad. This is what this chief in this video is talking about what lessons they’d learnt since 9/11 . The radio problems were dreadful that day and the police and the fire department didn’t work together then so every rule went out of the window and they all did their absolute best . Things have changed for the best for those first responders since 9/11.

WOW....

I was at a meeting on the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 10, 2001. On my way out, I went in the Duane Reade in the mall, bought an assortment of items including Herbal Essence shampoo and a birthday card for my grandmother who turned 102 on Sept. 22. I mailed the card from inside the WTC, and took the E train back to Queens. The card never arrived. I still have the shampoo, unopened, in the bag with the receipt, store location, phone no., and date of purchase.

Willie is a true hero. Brave brave man. Saved hundreds of lives. I salute u Willie. Thank u for your selfless heroic efforts on the worst day in American history.

He is not the only witness to hear explosions before the planes hit buildings. None of those witnesses was heard on the 911 Commission of Ommission

There more people that are sick and died because of that dust than the amount we lost on 9/11 . That dust was a killer and they were told at first it was safe to breathe and it was a lie .

Sounds pretty clear to me. Maybe a hearing test is in order. x

No pixie, the volume is about half of what's normal.

Yes, there needs to be something put in place as well as a back up plan so that IF something like this were to happen again (Heaven forbid!) or, a high rise fire that is widespread, people working in those offices or living in those apartments have A WAY OUT! Even IF, stairways become impassable. No human being should suffer as Kevin Connelly, Melissa Doi and others did waiting for rescuers that couldn't get to them.

@@loridontcaretotellu6497 you can not expect firemen with no way out to get people out! Those buildings should not exist.

@@Puertoricanprincess566 I don't know about buildings, but about airlines, I think if you were on a air crash, the plane would be spinning or falling so fast and the Gforces would be so intense that you couldn't leave your sit and walk to the door

Maybe have escape hatches so that people can descend through the ceilings between floors, even if stairwells are blocked.
