JONAS: I was never so proud to
be a fireman as I was that day.
4
00:00:31,398 --> 00:00:34,334
Our orders were to go
upstairs in the North Tower
5
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:36,703
for a search and rescue.
6
00:00:36,904 --> 00:00:40,240
So, we were going to pull as
many people out as we could,
7
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,376

8
00:00:46,580 --> 00:00:50,951

when we felt and experienced
9
00:00:50,951 --> 00:00:54,388
something that nobody had ever
felt or experienced before.
10
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:59,626
We heard a loud noise outside,
our building shook violently,
11

so violent that, that you
had a hard time standing up,

you were on a ship at sea;
13
00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:08,902
the South Tower had collapsed.
14
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:15,576
And, in my mind,
this was the scariest
part of the day for me.
15
00:01:17,244 --> 00:01:19,279
I knew prior to this day a
high rise building had never
16
00:01:19,279 --> 00:01:22,716
collapsed after a fire,
and now the sister building

that got hit after
my building, was down.
19
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:31,158
I did the quick calculations
in my mind and I says,
20
00:01:31,158 --> 00:01:33,860
alright, if that one can go,
this one can go,
21
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:36,997
it's time for us
to get outta here.
22
00:01:36,997 --> 00:01:41,468
So, we start our retreat
down the B stairway
of the North Tower.
23
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:47,474
We got to around
the 20th floor and
there was a woman
24
00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:50,711
standing in a doorway,
she was crying,
25
00:01:51,311 --> 00:01:53,880
and my guy stopped
and Tommy Falco,
26
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,350
one of my firemen, turns
around and looks at me,
27
00:01:56,350 --> 00:02:00,287
he says, "Hey Captain,
what'd you wanna do with her?"
28
00:02:00,287 --> 00:02:02,255
And she literally
couldn't walk anymore,
29
00:02:02,255 --> 00:02:04,224
she'd made it
down from the 70s,
30

she was one week shy
of her 60th birthday,

00:02:10,864 --> 00:02:16,136
so we continued our evacuation
with Josephine Harris in tow.
34
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:22,009
We were carrying her
down the stairs, slowly.
35
00:02:22,009 --> 00:02:24,311
We were going so slowly that a
couple of times we had to step
36
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:27,280
aside because we created a
log‐jam of people behind us,

would hit another floor,

00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:05,618
collapsing what we
call, pancake fashion,
94
00:08:05,618 --> 00:08:09,222
it would create a
loud noise, a loud boom,

so we were getting pummeled
100
00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:28,074

covering up and, uh, we just
101

stopped and it didn't come.

absolutely no noise.

118
00:09:29,602 --> 00:09:30,703

I couldn't feel,
119
00:09:30,703 --> 00:09:33,473

you know, there weren't

127

00:13:00,513 --> 00:13:03,583
you don't know where to start.
173
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:11,791

174
00:13:18,598 --> 00:13:20,500
REPORTER (over radio):Live, continuing coveragehere on 1010 Wins,
175
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:22,635
the horrible tragedy ofthe World Trade Center.
176
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:25,605
How off it looked tosee those two twin towers,
177
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:28,007
so much a part of ourlandscape, disappear.
178
00:13:28,007 --> 00:13:30,043
But then now to keep in mindthere were people inside those
179
00:13:30,043 --> 00:13:31,978
buildings andmany did not get out.
180
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:33,112
When you havesomething like this you think,
181
00:13:33,112 --> 00:13:34,681
well, death tolland casualties,
182
00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:36,816
that's something we simplydon't know because in many
183
00:13:36,816 --> 00:13:39,919

184
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:42,055
1010 Wins reporter...
185
00:13:51,631 --> 00:13:54,901
JONAS: We were
planning for the worst,
186
00:13:54,901 --> 00:13:58,137
planning for
a long entrapment,
187
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:03,943
maybe a couple of days, try to
conserve our radio batteries,
188
00:14:03,943 --> 00:14:06,145
our flashlight batteries.
189
00:14:06,145 --> 00:14:12,518
I didn't want my guys to use
their air masks but during
190
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:17,623
that time received a
mayday from Mark Warcola
191
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:24,664
the Lieutenant from
Ladder Five that we had
seen on the way down,
192
00:14:25,231 --> 00:14:28,368
and he said he was in the,
193
00:14:28,368 --> 00:14:33,506
the B stairway
on the 12th floor
194
00:14:33,506 --> 00:14:35,875
he was trapped
and he was hurt bad.
195
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:37,910
So Sal D'Agostino turned
around and looked at me,
196
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:39,712
he says, "Hey Cap,
did you get that?"
197
00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:41,547
I said, "Yeah, I got it."
198
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:43,549
And I started
climbing the B stairway.
199
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:47,854
And the stairways there
is filled with rubble,
200
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:51,791
it was like a real
bad vacant building
stairway but it was there.
201
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:57,296
So, I could climb
up the bannister and
maneuver my way around.
202
00:14:58,264 --> 00:15:02,735
And then a second
mayday came in when I was
on the fifth floor for him.
203
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:05,705
And again, I'm trying
to maneuver my way around.
204
00:15:05,705 --> 00:15:08,074
And I got to the half landing
between the fifth and the
205
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:11,144
sixth floor and I couldn't
move the debris anymore;
206
00:15:11,144 --> 00:15:13,312
it was too heavy.
207
00:15:13,312 --> 00:15:17,583
And he gave a third mayday
which was more distraught and
208
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:22,789
I just said, "Sorry,
Mike, I can't help you."
209
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:30,563
It was terrible.
210
00:15:31,297 --> 00:15:34,534
Here's somebody we know and
he's calling for our help and
211
00:15:34,534 --> 00:15:37,069
we can't help him.
212
00:15:37,069 --> 00:15:39,605
You know, we
couldn't get to him.
213
00:15:41,974 --> 00:15:44,444
And then we didn't
hear from him anymore.
214
00:15:49,549 --> 00:15:52,552
Yeah, finally I
transmitted my own mayday.
215
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:02,061

BLAICH: When we kinda all
heard them on the radio,
219
00:16:41,267 --> 00:16:43,769
I remember myself, personally,
I kinda just dropped down onto
220
00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:47,039
one knee and kissed the
metal that was around my neck.
221
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:50,243
It was a feeling
of elation that,
222
00:16:50,243 --> 00:16:53,746
okay, there's a chance here.
223
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:56,949

224
00:16:56,949 --> 00:17:01,187

transmissions from other guys
225
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:04,991

were some of my best friends.

(radio chatter).
227
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:13,466
A very close friend of
mine was Nick Visconti.
228
00:17:19,171 --> 00:17:23,843
And he got put in charge
229
00:17:23,843 --> 00:17:27,146
of the rescue effort
to find us
230
00:17:27,146 --> 00:17:33,753
and I talked to him
on the radio and, uh...
231
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:42,028
it was great
hearing his voice.
232
00:17:46,198 --> 00:17:52,471

Tower one.
235
00:17:57,610 --> 00:18:01,847
Stairwell B. There's
also a wounded civilian
and chief on the first floor.
236

237
00:18:07,954 --> 00:18:13,059
JONAS: It's the love
of your fellow firemen
238
00:18:14,393 --> 00:18:16,862
coming to save you.
239
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:21,334
I thought to myself, you know,
there's gotta be people who
240
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:24,837
are much worse off than I am.
241
00:18:24,837 --> 00:18:27,473
I'm not worthy of this.
242
00:18:27,473 --> 00:18:30,943
But I had this
army of firefighters
coming to find me.
243
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:35,348
And it was humbling.
244
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:43,456

245
00:18:43,456 --> 00:18:45,291

gear we can carry,

247
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:53,332
JONAS: Then I heard from my
neighbor, Cliff Staffner,
248
00:18:53,766 --> 00:18:55,935
"Rescue Three to Ladder Six,

And I tell him.
251
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:03,476
And he would end every
transmission by saying,
252
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:06,112
"I'm coming for ya, brother,
I'm coming for ya."
253

his body on top of hers

it's definitely an
impossible situation for her.
323

they did it on their own,

KROSS: The situation
was getting really bad.
326
00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:45,784

three, maybe two and
half to three hours,
327

And then it went out.
330

And then it
flickered up again.

And I'm looking and I'm trying
to figure out what it is.

an emergency light that was

hooked up and
flickering on and off.
334
00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:19,752

JONAS: What was happening
was the smoke and dust
344
00:26:12,538 --> 00:26:15,707
was clearing outside.
345
00:26:17,176 --> 00:26:22,548
And we got to the
point where all of a
sudden you could look up
346
00:26:22,548 --> 00:26:27,152
and I could see a sliver of
blue sky through the rubble.
347
00:26:29,321 --> 00:26:34,560
And I looked down and I could
see a beam of light striking
348
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,998
the stairway and I'm like,
349
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:47,039
"Guys, there used to be
106 floors over our heads,
350
00:26:48,774 --> 00:26:50,375
now I see blue sky."
351
00:26:50,375 --> 00:26:53,512
And I said, "I
think we're on top of
the World Trade Center."
352
00:26:57,282 --> 00:27:00,452
So, you know, we
started poking around.
353
00:27:02,121 --> 00:27:06,625
You know, with this added
light we were able to find an
354
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:10,395
area where we could breach
a hole through the rubble.
355
00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:16,768
KROSS: When the dust
cleared away and we knew
356
00:27:16,768 --> 00:27:20,472
we had an opening,
we had to climb to it,
357
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:22,074
it was 20 feet above us.
358
00:27:22,074 --> 00:27:25,210
So, you know, there
was all criss‐cross,
359
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:30,649
bent up beams
inside the area so,
360
00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:34,586
those of us who were
physically able were able to
361
00:27:34,586 --> 00:27:37,856
climb up and get to that
opening and actually
362
00:27:37,856 --> 00:27:40,192
wiggle our way out.
363
00:27:49,868 --> 00:27:54,640
(rubble shifting).
364
00:28:07,186 --> 00:28:08,854
JONAS: And I poked my head
out and I couldn't believe
365
00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:11,623
what I was seeing.
366
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:18,697
You know, you see the
façade of what's left of
the World Trade Center,
367
00:28:19,498 --> 00:28:24,770
and there's flame and smoke
coming up from everywhere,
368
00:28:24,770 --> 00:28:26,071
numbers four, five, six
369
00:28:26,071 --> 00:28:27,539
World Trade Center on fire,
370
00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:30,075
there's like
seven story buildings.
371
00:28:30,075 --> 00:28:32,778
Number Seven
World Trade Center is a
372
00:28:32,778 --> 00:28:36,215
high rise office building
and it's on fire.
373
00:28:38,083 --> 00:28:41,420
It was very eerie sticking
your head out and especially
374
00:28:41,420 --> 00:28:45,524
seeing the iconic façade
of the World Trade Center,
375
00:28:45,524 --> 00:28:49,261
the arches.
376
00:28:50,062 --> 00:28:53,131
And there was
nothing left of it.
377
00:29:00,606 --> 00:29:04,343
We waited until we
could see a fireman,
378
00:29:04,343 --> 00:29:06,678
we saw a fireman
off in the distance,
379
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:09,147
and we were to make
contact with them.
380
00:29:11,283 --> 00:29:14,019
FIREFIGHTER (over radio):What's the name of the streetthat (inaudible) is on?
381
00:29:14,019 --> 00:29:16,154
(radio chatter).
382
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:17,322
Thank you.
383
00:29:17,322 --> 00:29:19,891
JONAS: And they made
their way to the stairway.
384
00:29:19,891 --> 00:29:25,764
(overlapping chatter).
385
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:33,839
Got Josephine Harris,
Engine 53 and Ladder 43
got her out.
386
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:36,475
They brought the
stokes basket stretcher up.
387
00:29:36,475 --> 00:29:39,511
It's almost like
she took a stand,
388
00:29:39,511 --> 00:29:41,246
like on the
fourth floor, like,
389
00:29:41,246 --> 00:29:43,749
somehow she knew.
390
00:29:43,749 --> 00:29:45,183
(laughs).
391
00:29:45,183 --> 00:29:48,186
that we have to be here,
this is the spot.
392
00:29:48,553 --> 00:29:52,791
(overlapping chatter).
393
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:56,795
One by one I was sending
everybody in the stairway out.
394
00:29:57,696 --> 00:30:02,601
And one by one I saw every one
of my guys climb the rope and
395
00:30:02,601 --> 00:30:06,605
that was a very
satisfying part of the
day for me to see that.
396
00:30:07,272 --> 00:30:09,474
KROSS: It was a
wonderful feeling.
397
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:12,244
I don't have to explain that.
398
00:30:12,244 --> 00:30:13,845
(laughs).
399
00:30:13,845 --> 00:30:15,781
You think you might die in
that hole and then all of a
400
00:30:15,781 --> 00:30:18,517
sudden you're outside and
somebody's giving you a
401
00:30:18,517 --> 00:30:20,085
sandwich and a soda.
402
00:30:20,085 --> 00:30:22,087
It's a pretty
nice feeling, right.
403
00:30:33,965 --> 00:30:39,504
(PA announcements).
404
00:30:47,245 --> 00:30:52,117

(overlapping chatter).
408
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:23,749
CARLISLE: We were
the last people to come out
409
00:31:23,749 --> 00:31:25,751
before Tower One fell.
410
00:31:27,185 --> 00:31:29,855
FIREFIGHTER: We're
sending everybody this
way, towards the water.
411
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:35,193
CARLISLE: And I evacuated
with my coworker, Muzua,
412
00:31:35,761 --> 00:31:37,696
who to the day is my hero.
413
00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:49,141
We were coming down the
stairs and I wanted to stop
414
00:31:49,141 --> 00:31:51,243
because I was tired.
415
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:52,944
So, he grabbed my hand
and he just pulled me down
416
00:31:52,944 --> 00:31:54,112
the rest of the way.
417
00:31:54,112 --> 00:31:56,381
And I'm going down like,
"Please, please, let me stop."
418
00:31:56,381 --> 00:31:59,251
He said, "We can't stop.
We have to keep moving."
419
00:31:59,251 --> 00:32:02,053
And when I came
out and that smoke,
420
00:32:02,053 --> 00:32:05,991
or that cloud, that
scared the life outta me.
421
00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:09,728
It's like a hurricane coming
through and it was this air
422
00:32:09,728 --> 00:32:12,197
blowing through and I saw
people were caught up in the
423
00:32:12,197 --> 00:32:14,466
air just blowing through.
424
00:32:16,134 --> 00:32:17,736
REPORTER: Can you
tell me what happened?
425
00:32:17,736 --> 00:32:19,237
What'd you see?
426
00:32:19,237 --> 00:32:20,439
MUZUA: We got to the...
427
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:22,340
CARLISLE: All the way to the
lobby and all of a sudden it
428
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:24,176
was this big explosion.
429
00:32:24,176 --> 00:32:26,178
Mom, I just want you
to know I'm alright.
430
00:32:26,178 --> 00:32:27,212
(cries).
431
00:32:27,212 --> 00:32:28,313
I don't know what
else to tell you.
432
00:32:28,313 --> 00:32:29,748
We came from the 82nd floor
and I don't know where
433
00:32:29,748 --> 00:32:32,984
my peers are, I don't know,
I hope to God they okay.
434
00:32:33,318 --> 00:32:36,822
MUZUA: It was like a
comet just hit the earth.
435
00:32:37,255 --> 00:32:38,890
REPORTER: Like a comet?
MUZUA: Yeah.
436
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:40,725
REPORTER: Look at this.
Look at this.
437
00:32:40,725 --> 00:32:43,094
Look at your clothes.
Look at you.
438
00:32:43,094 --> 00:32:45,330
(coughs).
439
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:49,868
CARLISLE: Whatever this stuff
is, I hope it doesn't kill ya.
440
00:32:51,403 --> 00:32:55,941
(cries).
441
00:32:56,875 --> 00:33:00,178
MUZUA: Daphne,
don't give up now. Daphne.
442
00:33:00,712 --> 00:33:01,713
CARLISLE: I just cried.
443
00:33:01,713 --> 00:33:03,215
I remember crying a lot.
444
00:33:03,215 --> 00:33:06,485
CARLISLE: I'm just tired.
I'm tired.
445
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:11,156
And I remember just
being sad, I was sad.
446
00:33:11,857 --> 00:33:16,094
I was like, I just couldn't
understand, you know,
447
00:33:16,094 --> 00:33:19,130
what happened,
why it happened.
448
00:33:21,032 --> 00:33:23,902
And I remember
sitting there and this
lady was trying to tell me.
449
00:33:24,836 --> 00:33:27,572
REPORTER: Can you
even begin to fathom the
people who may have done this?
450
00:33:28,106 --> 00:33:29,875
CARLISLE: I dunno.
451
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:32,010
REPORTER: Can you
even begin to fathom why?
452
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:33,778
CARLISLE: Why it happened?
453
00:33:33,778 --> 00:33:35,080
Why a plane hit the building?
454
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,482
REPORTER: Why a
plan was hijacked and...
455
00:33:37,482 --> 00:33:39,050
CARLISLE: Excuse me.
456
00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:40,218
REPORTER: I hope
you understand,
457
00:33:40,218 --> 00:33:43,355
that plane might have been
high‐jacked by a terrorist.
458
00:33:44,623 --> 00:33:46,658
This didn't happen by chance.
459
00:33:46,658 --> 00:33:50,161
CARLISLE: Jesus.
In America?!
460
00:33:51,463 --> 00:33:58,036
I don't know what to say.
I don't what to say.
461
00:34:03,341 --> 00:34:07,512
All I could think about
was all the firefighters...
462
00:34:10,682 --> 00:34:12,684
running up the stairs,
463
00:34:12,684 --> 00:34:14,486
you know, going
to help whoever,
464
00:34:14,486 --> 00:34:17,289
you know, was up there.
465
00:34:17,289 --> 00:34:20,258
And I remember this young
kid running behind them with
466
00:34:20,258 --> 00:34:23,595
a fire extinguisher
going to help the people,
467
00:34:24,763 --> 00:34:26,965
I think it was
like a young kid,
468
00:34:26,965 --> 00:34:29,801
right outta high school,
looked like a little boy.
469
00:34:30,335 --> 00:34:34,039
And he, he was going to help.
470
00:34:39,177 --> 00:34:40,979
And I remember
his face, he was like,
471
00:34:40,979 --> 00:34:43,915
"Yeah, I'm going, I'm
gonna help some people,
472
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:45,717
I'm gonna help some people."
473
00:34:45,717 --> 00:34:49,454
I'm like, "Okay,
alright, alright."
474
00:34:51,389 --> 00:34:55,527
And when I get
downstairs, you know,
475
00:34:55,527 --> 00:34:59,130
get out to find out that
the building collapsed.
476
00:35:00,332 --> 00:35:04,769
And I'm like, this
young kid trying to...
477
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:09,441
I consider him a hero.
478
00:35:10,008 --> 00:35:12,110
And I'm like, I
always ask myself,
479
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:14,879
I wonder if they survived?
480
00:35:14,879 --> 00:35:18,483
I wonder if they made it out?
481
00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:21,453
That bothered me a lot.
482
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:32,797
(overlapping chatter).
483
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:34,399
FIREFIGHTER: Some companies
didn't make it out though
484
00:35:34,399 --> 00:35:40,171
that were in that original
fifth alarm, made it out
but a lot of guys didn't.
485
00:35:40,538 --> 00:35:45,010
(overlapping chatter).
486
00:35:45,310 --> 00:35:47,479
MORABITO: After a while
I realized that I needed
487
00:35:47,479 --> 00:35:49,848
to contact my family.
488
00:35:52,017 --> 00:35:55,353
I remember taking out my cell
phone and I'm thinking let me
489
00:35:55,353 --> 00:35:58,156
try and call my Mom, you know,
and people that know me.
490
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:00,392
So I dial the phone
and I call my Mom and
491
00:36:00,392 --> 00:36:01,793
busy, busy, busy.
492
00:36:01,793 --> 00:36:04,596
And then all of a
sudden the phone picked
up and it was my aunt.
493
00:36:04,596 --> 00:36:06,931
And she tells me,
"Oh my God, you're
okay, you're okay."
494
00:36:06,931 --> 00:36:09,167
I go, "Yes, I'm okay,
I'm alive, I'm down here,
495
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:10,535
I'm working", I said,
496
00:36:10,535 --> 00:36:12,203
"But I survived",
I said, "I was in the
building, I survived."
497
00:36:12,203 --> 00:36:14,172
She goes, "Your Mom's here,
your Mom's here."
498
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:15,940
And I remember my Mom
getting on the phone and
499
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:17,475
she was panicking and
crying and she's like,
500
00:36:17,475 --> 00:36:19,277
"Oh my God, thank God
you're alive, thank God."
501
00:36:19,277 --> 00:36:20,912
She goes, "Your
brother was dispatched,
502
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:23,515
he's somewhere down there."
503
00:36:27,318 --> 00:36:30,689
My brother Michael
was also a firefighter.
504
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:35,593
So I said,
"Okay, I gotta go Ma.
505
00:36:35,593 --> 00:36:37,328
I gotta go, I
gotta go find Michael,
506
00:36:37,328 --> 00:36:38,797
I gotta go find my brother."
507
00:36:38,797 --> 00:36:41,966
And I remember
getting on my radio and
calling my brother's company,
508
00:36:41,966 --> 00:36:44,069
and he was in
Engine Company 228.
509
00:36:44,069 --> 00:36:46,371
And I'm like,
