If you ever get the chance, go online and read the Story of Ladder 118. This was the last picture of them as they went to go save others not knowing No One was coming to save Them.
I was a high school senior in my home room class in 2001. My science teacher wheeled the TV in and said something was happening! It was bad! My classmates and I watched it happen in real time. Two Big Buildings tumbled like Jenga blocks to the ground. One of those towers I stood on 4 months earlier on a class field trip to NYC. I remember the long elevator ride up. Yes, I got on top of the World Trade Center Observation Deck/Roof and had the NERVE to look over the railing and look down. It made me dizzy. So you can imagine how the firemen and service men felt or how people felt having to jump. That was their only chance. But it wasn't a chance. I can go on and on but I won't cause it won't bring those people in NY, DC or PA back. It just won't ….it won't bring the pilots and flight crew, the passengers on the planes (sans terrorist), police officers, firemen, people on the street that helped and didn't make it. It won't and that hurts the most. Today I remember EVERYONE. NY got the spotlight a lot but DC, PA and everyone in between that didn't make it home the night of 9/11 remember them too. It's been 22 years. And every time this day rolls around each year it still feels like I'm the high school senior in my home room watching a bad scene in a movie praying it was fake. Thank you to everyone that helped or tried to….that day. We're forever in debt. 🇺🇲 #911 #remember911
