9-11-2001: Retired Firefighter Speaks on the Impact 10 Years Later

[@queenofwater8783]

No, the hurt of loss never goes away. You eventually stop crying every day, then you feel like a zombie, then one day a laugh at something comes out of your mouth and shocks you, then, after a long time, you grow spiritually and trade anger for gratitude for the years you were allowed to love them. But the pain is just under the surface, tears come once in awhile, and in the quiet times the one you loved is always on your mind.

That was very beautiful put and it can apply to other areas in our lives.

We will never forget. Thanks for sharing your story. I still get chills about 911. I think about all the bravery of the 🔥 firefighters, EMTs, police, security workers, passengers. Frontline, hospitals and survivors of this horrible day.

[@maryschneider2759]

What an honorable man. Thank you

Very moving. Very humbling. Geez.

Still unreal people have never been found..just heartbreaking.

Even the steel and concrete changed to dust. This was not a 'normal collapse'. In 2006 more than 700 very small pieces of human remains were found on top of the Deutsche Bank building. This is impossible when due to a gravitational collapse… Only 10% of the buildings material remained afterwards. The rest ‘dustified’ end ended up all over Manhattan. Inside job period. Sad but true. RIP to all of the innocent victims❤

Vinny, thanks for telling about your brother Pete. The whole country grieved about this and still grieves. We will never forget the sacrifice of your family, and of your FDNY brotherhood. We will never stop avenging what was done by the evil cowardly terrorists -- and their sponsors -- and getting justice for it. By the way, do I detect a little bit of a Boston accent?

On 911 I lost a firefighter name David Fontana and on the tenth year of 911 I saw my late cousin wife Marion at the st.paul capital of the world of 911 and I stood up when they called my name as a widow of a man who was a sheriff of Ramsey Co and was killed over seas. He was one of those 6 guys who was killed just like my cousin ladavid Johnson killed the same way as bear 🐻 and his family members who I care about a lot. We miss you bear bear.

It's hurts..and really hurts that the investigation was swept away...??

[@frankstaples3962]

Swept away? What? Are you freaking crazy?

[@zachdorian925]

@@frankstaples3962 are you crazy? It was a biased, ignorant, latent and blatant cover-up. Their whole "investigation" was just a rubber-stamp to the bush's administration's Al-Qaeda fallacy. It was a clear conflict of interest considering they let it happen. You expect them to throw their own administration and agencies under the spotlight for their dereliction of duty? You really expect someone to snitch on themselves? Common sense ain't so common 🥴🥴💯
