They got all 151 souls off the plane - no loss of life. Amazing. I've been watching the plane sink for the last few minutes...first I heard everyone got off. One hell of a pilot and crew to pull that off. |

Thank God for the quick, efficient work of the folks in NYC, starting with the ferry boat captains. |

That's about all I've ever heard her explain pretty well. Eisboch I heard a guy say it a few years ago. A few days after 911 I was watching a firefighter who had pulled folk out of the towers before they went down.. He is the way it went down: About New Yorkers The fellow was telling a story about being in the hospital interviewing a firefighter injured on September 11. He said that it was "just like in a movie". At one point he (the interviewer) thanked the fallen hero for going into the building with no concern for himself or his own safety. "The firefighter lifted his head, and with a thick NY accent said", "Whadidya expect, I'm a New Yorker". |
