I was on one of the first planes to land at LaGuardia Airport when flights resumed after 9/11. This is my raw footage from a Hi-8 camcorder. I said to myself, "where did the towers go," because I had never seen the NYC skyline without them.
HERO! Flight attendant Betty Ong used her last moments on Flight 11 warning America.
Her 23 minute call was the first alert of the hijacking and gave officials the hijackers’ seat numbers, the crucial details later used to identify them and piece together the 9/11 attacks.
Never forget. 🙏🇺🇸
#BettyOng #NeverForget
In less than 25 years, we forgot
We not only forgot, we let these inbred deranged MOFOs in, shoveled social programs and government money at them.
Now they are here and growing. That’s the danger of forgetting.
🇺🇸🙏That sound is from the jumpers trapped above the 91st floor with nowhere to go
Over 200 people jumped to escape 2,000° heat, smoke, and carnage
The firefighters on the ground knew instantly what they were hearing.
Not debris. People. Hope, falling.

These are some of the final recorded FDNY radio communications from inside the South Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
In the final minutes before the tower collapsed, firefighters were still climbing toward the impact zone, searching for survivors and calling for more men to come up.
Battalion Chief Orio Palmer had reached the 78th floor. Lt. Joseph Leavey of Ladder 15 was climbing toward him. With barely two minutes remaining, Palmer called Battalion 9 Chief Edward Geraghty and told him they had access to the floors above.
Geraghty's response: “All right, I'm on my way up, Orio.”
Seconds later, a Ladder 15 firefighter radioed that he was trapped in an elevator shaft: “We're chopping through the wall to get out.”
The radio signal disappeared shortly afterward. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m.
Orio Palmer, Joseph Leavey and Edward Geraghty were killed that morning. They were still going up while others were trying to get out.

🔴INDONESIA 🇮🇩| 🌋 Mount Anak Krakatau erupted on Sunday, September 6, sending around volcanic ash plumes up to 50,000 feet. This eruption led to the temporary suspension of flight operations at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. More than 200 flights were diverted.
