I was there. Didn’t see the first plane hit but I saw what was left of the second plane come out the east side of the tower I was on the other side of the river In Brooklyn, Watch the towers collapse, surreal almost like it was fake. Next day I was working ground zero,( Operating engineers NYC )That was a terrifying experience for me. I can’t believe it’s been 19 years like it was yesterday. Got to work on the freedom Tower, I would love to see Tower II go up before I retire but I don’t think it’s going to happen, I was 40 years old when it happened, And it was such a beautiful day...but anyhow,they really shoved it up our asses that day.
Impressive BamBam.
9/11 will always have a special place in my mind, I had a front row seat that day, next day I was in the game, sights smells sounds Taste’s ,pictures, videos doesn’t do it justice. My brother was jogging in central park that day, NYPD detective, he lives in Manhattan. Commandeered A cab and drove downtown got there before the towers collapse.Vietnam veteran Marine Corps, He said the toughest part was Listening to,watching the bodies of the people jumping and hitting the ground, everybody should have to watch those videos There out there but you just never see them.That place was hell on earth for quite some time. truck driver friend of mine that I worked with was on the Staten Island Expressway pulled over looking at the towers talking on the phone with his girlfriend she was on The roof of tower 1 (north tower) telling each other that they love one another Then the tower collapsed. He told me that years later, so when people say I remember where I was when the towers collapse I always think of Vinny talking to his girlfriend. That’s it......
