I am deeply touched by all the accounts of this tragedy, but this one has to be the most poignant, generous, evocative, descriptive, profound, technical, beautifully narrated testimony of what happened that day and how so many lives were taken ("murdered", as Tim Brown says).

Tim Brown is a very impressive guy; the type of person you would want next to you in an emergency.

"Firefighters knowing they're about to die, just so they can save others...." Yes, that does sound noble and heroic, but you may want to use some of that "noble rhetoric" for at least SOME of the "ignoble" conspiracy theorists who have been warning the world of hinkey activity for quite a long time now, so that PERHAPS noble firefighters and not-so-noble non firefighters don't HAVE to die unnecessarily??? But who knows--- if there is "A" Conspiracy to change the world, maybe it's for the better?? "Can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs" is the saying that covers the latter idea.

This was an absolutely remarkable podcast/interview with Tim Brown. Almost 20 years on, I'm still constantly looking for new books, interviews, articles, etc surrounding 9/11 to better educate myself on that whole day and what anyone directly or indirectly dealt with beyond that day. Tim Brown is a huge testament to someone witnessing one of the worst attacks on American soil, losing so many friends and family but found the strength and the will to push on and continue to do a whole lot of good. It may be really freakin hard but if you stay with it & commit to whatever recovery looks like for you, you can get out on the other side and see the sun shine again and feel happy again. One of the biggest things I want to do is visit the 9/11 memorial in NYC, the Pentagon and in Schwenksville, PA and pay my respects, in person, to all of the beautiful souls we lost that day. There were so many takeaways from this interview, but I'm going to keep it simple and say for me, the biggest takeaway was "Never Give Up & Never Forget". Thank you for a shining a light on this story!

I finally visited the 9/11 memorial in 2019; everyone should definitely go if there is an opportunity to do so. It’s an incredibly well done memorial, but I wasn’t prepared for the amount of emotion that it brought out in me. Experiencing those hallowed grounds gave me a perspective that I’ll never forget as long as I live.

[@stewiestalented]

I visited the one in NYC, fully prepared for a poignant experience after years of obsessing over 9/11 but the number of lackadaisical tourists and the noise from all the chatter ruined it for me. Perhaps the other 2 memorials may offer better environments.

[@twolaneblacktop5903]

If you really want to educate yourself about 9/11 you have to watch "September 11 - The new Pearl Harbour". I am not posting a link because... let's say that although the film is free for distribution, youtube sooner or later tends to find a reason to close (or perhaps just severe the links to) the channel that dares to post this video

I was a kid when this happened and so I am looking at video's about 9/11 to try and understand what people went through that day and afterwards. Thank you for this interview, it was extremely good and I have nothing but respect for you all.

[@hopiepink]

I was an infant on 9/11 living in a high rise just outside of D.C. I was my father's first born and he was only in his 20s at the time. He says he remembers just standing on our balcony hugging me to his chest as tight as he could and watching the smoke rising from the pentagon in the distance. He still tears up talking about it, not that he was seriously involved in anyway but just the sheer terror he felt watching this happen

[@big_gooch1601]

Chris died a hero, what a brave man with what sounded like the kindest heart any man could have.

[@atamagashock]

What an amazing story teller and man. The entire time he was speaking, I felt like I was right there with him. I was 21 on 9/11, in south jersey working in construction on an addition we were building. after hearing on the radio the north tower was hit, we asked the homeowner to turn the news on and a min after she turned it on, we watched the second plane hit. I’ll never forget that moment, that day, the following days and weeks. How our country was united and proud(something we desperately need today) but even with such a vivid memory of that day, this man made me forget all that, and transplanted me to ground zero to relive his nightmare. That’s what a story teller can do, and this man is treasure, and I’m grateful he lived to tell his story and I’m sorry for all the pain he’s endured over the last 20 years

[@I.Am.Leanne.Liverpool]

This happened on my 21st birthday and I was at work listening to it on the radio. The rest of the day was a blur with the shock.

[@atamagashock]

@@tinkletink1403 yeah as did every normal human, especially the people that were there. My best friends dad worked there and had to walk 50 blocks to get away from ground zero. I’m pretty sure I believe a man that was there when it happened, as well as what I saw on the news that day. Let me guess they staged all the jet fuel and plane parts that were at the sight?

[@katrinaball178]

I LOVE this guy and may God Bless him all of his days! I catch myself holding my breath each time I have watched this pod cast...in TOTAL AWE of this guys bravery, loyalty, patriotism, integrity, friendship, brotherhood...I think I would probably explode if I ever met this guy in person! Wow. This guy's heart is so big it is a true wonder that his body is big enough to contain it! This guy is a true GEM and his friends and family are VERY blessed people to have him in their lives! What an amazing human being! May God Bless you Mr. Tim Brown all of your days. ❤

[@billypike3797]

I'll never forget how scared I was watching this unfold that day at school. When I got home, my mother was in tears. My dad, a local fire chief, was gathering a crew together and they were going to drive up from Florida to help. He stayed at his department until Saturday morning when the fire commission shot it down due to the influx of help from around the country. Much respect to this man, and everyone who became heros that day

[@matthockenberry5772]

Respect for talking about the office workers helping because you don't hear much about the people who worked there that lost life to help. God bless you and everyone who not only passed from the attack but the people who are scarred from this as well

I am left without words, I just want to say that I heard your story as I heard many others. Your words and your actions are appreciated. Thank you for still helping people after all you've been through yourself.

You know, I truly believe that before we come into a life, our souls know how long that life will be. This man knew it wasn’t the end for him, but so many of his friends…their souls knew. And they went in anyway.

This was absolutely one of the most powerful interviews I've ever watched or heard. Tim Brown and his fellow heros are a rare breed. Never forget 9/11 and the men and women who were murdered that day and the heros who ran into those buildings knowing what they were up against and knowing they might not leave those buildings alive. Then the men and women who served over seas fighting the terrorist who were behind the murders of 9/11. They took the fight to there front doors and held them accountable. Thank you too all of you who put your lives on the line to protect us day in and day out and those who lost their lives in the process. Thank you! We love you!

What Tim didn't see and what happened after is that a priest came to pray over Danny's body before the other firefighters pulled him away. That priest was hit by another falling body, too. I learned this years later on, however I watched the news live on TV right after the first tower was hit; before we knew it was on purpose. Before everything changed.

Something about his story about meeting the Brazilian women really warmed my heart to point of getting teary eyed. I’m so happy he found a support system. And sometimes you find them in the most unexpected places🥲 that was a beautiful part of his story. Edit: thank you for your service Tim! And to all of your friends. ALL of you are heroes. I was a 4 y/o Midwestern girl at the time of 9/11, and this is the first story that clicked with me and allowed me to empathize with 9/11 survivors in a way that I never thought I’d be able to.

[@sharikasten1447]

Tim is so articulate. His descriptions literally take you to that day, where we can all, as humans- feel the weight of his experience, and the dedication of his comrades... I was a young mother of five, & kindergarten teacher, when this incredible tragedy happened. Our lives stopped too, even though we were many miles away. All planes had been halted, and believers in God prayed with all our hearts for the heroes, victims and survivors. And we continue to. Thank you Tim, for sharing your story.

There’s one moment in this podcast that really stood out to me. It was when he heard the deceased firefighter’s PASS systems chirping en mass. I was a volunteer firefighter and we always used to joke about having to jump around a bit to keep our PASS systems going off. Hearing hundreds of them going off at once knowing full well that each one is a downed fire fighter, is one of the most haunting sounds I could imagine.
