Im a now retired Fireman from Michigan. My buddy & I had the privilege to ride with Rescue 2 in 1990 for a week. Then later 50E & 19L in the Bronx. I learned so much from these guys. It changed my whole career. There were a few Chiefs that looked the other way when we arrived in our Bunker gear from MI & went to work with the companies. I actually wore FDNY boots & a coat because the guys all wanted to try out the gear we had. We all learned from each other and gained life long friendships. Many of the guys we worked with died on 9/11. My heart still hurts. I’ll never forget any of them! RIP brothers.

On Sept 11, 2001, while responding to Box Alarm 8087, 403 of my Brother police officers, paramedics, and firefighters gave their lives while safely evacuating over 25k people from the World Trade Center complex. They didn't ask anyone who they voted for, where they lived, the name of their god, or how much was in their bank account. They just kept climbing, even after the first tower fell. Most were never identified or recovered. 17 years later, over 120 FDNY personnel alone are listed as having died from exposure to Ground Zero. Ground Zero is STILL killing those who responded. We will NOT go silently.

I had the privilege to be a firefighter for 25 years with some of the greatest men and woman in the north of England, like all families we argued and fight, but we all knew when It matted they would be there for you. On this terrible day I was thinking about getting for a night shift when I watched this horror unfold. On arriving at my fire station to start my shift I have never found a more somber and quiet place, the off going crews were just sitting around totally stunned. It became clear that their thoughts were not so much for the lost fireman but more for the families left behind. That might sound harsh, but I think it shows compassion. They knew they could do nothing for those lost but wondered how they could help those left behind. I know a great many uk fireman dug deep in their pockets to help those left behind. Like myself a great many uk firefighters lost NYFD friends in this tragedy . we all knew how big their hearts and hospitality were and many a tear was quietly shed in private. We remember them everyday and they will never be forgotten as long as there is a fireman alive.

Then seeing the survivors gathering, covered in dust, sitting on the curb in disbelief, checking on each other and pouring water over their faces. Then the sounds of the personal body alarms of those not moving; piercing the silence, eerily counting the souls lost. It was just overwhelming. I will never ever forget the cruelty of that day.

What really broke me up was just how many NYFD Firefighters went into and stayed in the towers - knowing that they were going to die - and they could have easily escaped and survived, but that bond is too strong and they will not leave their men behind. That's not only commendable, but it's damned heartbreaking. I remember seeing some photos from that day, and those faces knew they were not going to make it, but they stayed at their post. I reckon that's a bond that firefighters share world-wide, but the NYFD Firefighters are the best of the best.

Thank You for this video! Sincerely, I am moved beyond tears! When you take the time to realize that these men went into those building for the sole purpose of saving other peoples live, and sacrificed their own, you should be moved emotionally for their courage. Amazing.

What an amazing documentary! RIP to those firemen that lost their lives on that day. Thank you.

[@lesterschmutz3019]

I had the pleasure to ride along with Engine 245 in Brooklyn. They are truly the definition of a Firefighter brotherhood.

[@azul8811]

Did they drive you over to The Cyclone?

[@user-eg8pv2om7j]

These men are Gods. Thankyou. I would pay money to work with them if I were ever that good. R.I.P gentlemen

[@willfdny]

"You're riding on a giant toolbox". That is the best. May all the fallen fireman rest in peace.

[@ogrebattle22763]

We will NOT FORGET these BRAVE men... EVER...

[@debramiller9892]

So heart wrenching to watch this😢. Gone but never forgotten!!! God bless them all❤

[@MrJagger112]

I have a very deep respect for all rescue services. The work they do is amazing and the effort they put in to rescue people in seemingly impossible situations is astonishing. They are true heroes!

[@christian-jakobgrasl]

it is very hard as a fire fighter to hold tears back when y watch this !

[@bunker108]

Not sure how I have never seen this. It’s both heart wrenching and inspiring. I’ve spent the last 17 years riding around on these fire trucks, and though I can never comprehend this kind of loss I can relate to every single word they said. Incredible

[@nenblom]

I don’t know how many times I have seen this documentary. It is very well-made. May all the victims of September 11, especially the first responders and firefighters, rest in peace. We thank you. New York thanks you. Washington, DC and Shanksville, PA, thank you. People all around the world thank you because of what you do and that’s putting your life on the line so that others may live. Every firefighter around the world is a hero.

Can’t believe anyone would dislike this video!

[@liyahsmitherson]

When KZbin first came around, I would dislike videos that made me sad and angry, now a days I just like things if I appreciate the presentation even if the content is upsetting. Social media culture is still a bit uneven in the reason to like or dislike things. I like the think the people who dislike the video, disliked it because it was horrible what happened to these heros.

[@ms.d267]

20 years has gone by in a blink of an eye. Their memory lives on fresh in our minds forever. God bless all the victims of that day and beyond. Their bravery, heroism, and sacrifice in the face of certain death in the midst of utterly unimaginable horror will never be forgotten.

[@hoolanloony2305]

very impressed with this action and no doubt deserve every respect. I remember who our special friends were and still are. From the UK.

[@ElleCee62978]

It takes a special kind of person to be a firefighter. They run into danger while everyone runs out. That’s a hero. RIP, 343.

[@user-lx9zr7ci6l]

Ugh, this is so sad. I'm glad they have video footage of fun times to look back at

[@Decgyrrl]

Thank u for ur courage & sacrifice. For the FFs who gave their lives: RIP 🕊🌻🌹☮

[@NeilM01989]

This is got to be one of the most powerful documentaries I've ever seen when it comes to emergency rescue services, it's a terrible time that day on 9/11. Some people think the job is fun, challenging, demanding and sometimes well worth while, but it sometimes can be dangerous by putting their lives on the line in-order to save others and when you lose one of your own, they still find their bodies and bring them out to see if they're accounted for and bring them back home to their loved ones, (family, friends and colleagues). They''ll always have our respects both living and deceased, for those living today, they carry one with their traditions of saving lives, that is what they do best. Just do their very best, learn everything they know from past experiences comparing to the incidents they're facing now and try and save as many lives as they can. R.I.P. to the fire and rescue personals of 9/11.

[@mielkewayranch4951]

I’m a volunteer and now getting into a career department. All I want for my career is to honor these men rest in peace 343 ❤

[@porshamarshall4658]

I just have so much admiration for these brave men!! No words can describe how amazing they are!! To all of those that died, may you rest peacefully in Jesus arms!! And to all of those that live with the scars and memories of losing your loved ones and friends, may Jesus comfort and bless you for all your bravery and compassion you have towards mankind. Your stories and lives are just incredible. If only all people had love and care for their fellow human beings the way you do!!!

[@harryschlessman2907]

I lost brothers that I didn’t know...brother firefighters. I still hurts. Sometimes it hurts a lot, but we go on.

[@angiebaggett9223]

GOD BLESS ALL THE FIREMEN, THEIR FAMILIES AND ALL 1ST RESPONDERS AND REGULAR CITIZENS THAT ALL BECAME HEROS THAT DAY!!

[@TheFarmallfarmer]

To the members that passed just wanna say y'all will never be forgotten. Ride high my brothers. One day y'all will see each other again. Love y'all.

[@nenblom]

NYC ROCKS!! NYC WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED! The city survived everything from 9/11 to Superstorm Sandy! I live in Easton Pennsylvania but I grew up about an hour north of New York City. The city will always have a special place in my heart. Whenever I can, I plan a day trip and hop a bus in to New York. Unfortunately, I cannot do that right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a broken leg. However, these days will come again! I have to say, these firefighters have a great sense of humor.
