As A person who uses a motorized wheelchair, I thank and bless this man for saving John. So many were left behind and like the other victims, how terrifying it must have been to just sit there, helpless, to await their fate. 😭🇨🇦

@MakeupMobster Год назад

Wow amazing that he went back to get his paralyzed friend. What a thoughtful friend.

@sian2337 Год назад

Thank you for telling your story. I’m so glad you and your colleagues made it out in time.

@macycharmin Год назад

Thank you for telling your story Peter, it's now 22 years later. I hope you are doing well. You (as well as your coworkers) are a hero for your selfless act of making sure John was able to go with you.

@eugeniaskelley5194 Год назад

What you did for John you deserve respect and honor. Just think how he felt wondering if he could be abandoned at any moment with people trying to save themselves. The fact you didn't leave him with the police command post saved his life. It would have been the logical thing to do. You are a true hero.

Thank you Peter for your unbelievable story.. I recently became a volunteer at the 9/11 memorial and feel very honored working there…. I’m a native New Yorker and was about 1 mile from the attacks that day.

I wish I could volunteer there. I live on Long Island. It wound be quite a ride to volunteer but I wish I could.

@Nitka022 Год назад

Amazing survivor story. Over 20 years later and it is still horrific and heart breaking event. You and your friends were truly amazing to think and act so quickly regarding your disabled co-worker. That was very very humane and right thing to do. This act gave such feel good vibes even in all this horror. Thank you for sharing...:-)

@bobbynicole10 Год назад

the fact that you didn't abandon your friend in a wheelchair may be the reason you made it out alive. reminds me of the story of the friends who brought their paralyzed friend to Jesus. the house where he was was very crowded and the friends made a hole in the roof and lowered their friend's bed close to Jesus. Jesus saw their faith and healed their friend

@muchlove9781 Год назад

The most knowledgeable survivor I’ve heard

@sian2337 Год назад

Out of interest, did the two wtc towers ever hold fire drills where the whole building had to evacuate down the stairs? The highest I’ve ever worked in London was something like the 5th floor, so when we had fire drills it took no time at all to evacuate, it must have been terrifying for everyone trying to get out of those two buildings.

@cindypltnm Год назад

Yes they actually did. If you look up stories from other survivors, there were fire marshals for their respective companies. So each company (maybe not every company that occupied floors in the towers) had their own drills. One in particular is a guy named Brian Clark, he was his company’s fire marshal and you can hear his story if you search on here.

@Rollimggiant Год назад

Yes

@BexareagleCheryl Год назад

Look up the documentary about Rick Rescorla. I think there are at least 2. Former military who worked Security for Morgan Stanley. He is credited with Saving 2700 of his co-workers. After the bombing he predicted that terrorists would come again. But from above. He insisted on fire plans and fire drills. He himself died that day.

@eddyrodriguez3501 Год назад

The Port Authority police should of gotten front garage security guards so to prevent the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. As well as 9/11 this could be prevented by planning ahead and using strategy too.

@blue9multimediagroup Год назад

Didn't matter as if your credentials looked legit, you could still gain access. And this has nothing to do with 9/11

@IanGanahl Год назад

But it wasn’t prevented. Easier said than done looking back at it.

@Rollimggiant Год назад

No way 9 11 could be avoided . They hijacked those planes and were on a mission to kill and destroy. How on earth can you suggest that it could have been avoided? Your ignorance is unbelievable !! An insult to all involved in that attack

@Rollimggiant Год назад

I'm so curious about your age ? Your education? Are you American? Wtf ? Strategies? I'm at a loss for words . Wondering what on earth you can be referring to.

Flight 175 didn't come from the hudson and turn around the statue of liberty.

@mopanov Год назад

And it didn’t hit at 9:17, it hit at 9:03.

@blue9multimediagroup Год назад

Correct It went west and then turned south over PA and then back east proceeding just south of Jersey City before turning north, passing the east side of the Statue of Liberty along the way.

@BillyBong Год назад

@blue9multimediagroup yes, so many witnesses said they seen it come down the Hudson and turn around the statue of liberty. I don't know what they are talking about. 1st off they were watching the towers so if it did even come down the Hudson they weren't watching it. Still till this day I can't undwrstand these accounts besides that eyewitness accounts are just not reliable .

@blue9multimediagroup Год назад

There are a lot of fact errors in regards to events and times in this discussion and if this is to serve as a documentary, then the information needs to be correct and not so full of errors.

@blankererer6944 Год назад

No, it doesn’t. It’s someone’s recollection of their experience. There’s enough evidence documented around timelines and specifics that a reasonable person can find the information.

@blue9multimediagroup Год назад

@@blankererer6944 yeah it does. This is a documentary series and if we're gonna allow errors in the story telling, why even bother? This is how future generations get info misconstrued. But continue to allow ignorance to spread....
