Had the WTC fire been a floor or two higher it would have been the Towering Inferno. Ladder pipes and TLs knocked that down. We lost a lot of guys in the 90s. Stay well Chris

Guest request… How about highly experienced POLITICIAN Laura “Knee Pads” Kavanagh? She can discuss her decades of experience during the “War Years II”, the BLM and “Summer of Love 2.0” years. 😂 Lou needs to invest in an EMPShield box and faraday cage for his comms gear and podcasting gear. 😉🇺🇸
