@Grumpy_Femboy@TommyBaileys@TheCinesthetic More mental issues and become unstable. It rips society apart, the good norm is get married, have children. It’s no different from someone with a healthy hand but want the hand removed because it will make them feel better. The list can continue and there’s books that can explain
@Grumpy_Femboy@TommyBaileys@TheCinesthetic There’s no refusal to answer: higher suicide rates for those who go with the surgery, for most it’s a phase who have to live with the self bodily mutilation. It’s being pushed on children often and higher rates of sexual abuse increase, the drugs that they take often create
Twenty five years ago today, the first fire chief to reach the World Trade Center gave the order to go up, and one of the men who took it was his little brother.
Battalion Chief Joseph Pfeifer had Battalion 1 in lower Manhattan. On the morning of September 11 he was out on a nothing call, a reported gas leak on the street, with a French film crew tagging along because they were making a documentary about a rookie firefighter in his battalion.
He heard the engines, looked up, and watched an airliner go down the Hudson so low he could read American Airlines on the side of it. Then he watched it fly into the North Tower.
The camera caught it. That is the only clear footage in existence of the first plane, and it exists because a documentary crew happened to be standing next to the one chief who was about to run the worst incident in the history of the American fire service.
Pfeifer got on the radio immediately and transmitted what he had just seen, called for more alarms, and rolled to the tower.
He was the first chief there. He set up his command post in the North Tower lobby, in a building with a fuel fire burning 90 floors up, no working elevators above the impact, and an unknown number of people trapped. He started sending companies up the stairs, one after another, with the only orders available to him. Climb. Get people out.
And then Lieutenant Kevin Pfeifer of Engine 33 walked into that lobby.
Kevin was his younger brother. Joe had helped get him into the fire department.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment in the middle of all of it. Joe gave him the same order he was giving everybody. Go up, evacuate the building, regroup on the upper floors and get to the people who are trapped.
Kevin turned and went up the stairs.
That was the last time Joe Pfeifer saw his brother.
Joe stayed in that lobby for roughly an hour and a half. He was still there when the South Tower came down at 9:59 and blew the lobby apart around him. He got out of the North Tower shortly before it collapsed at 10:28.
Kevin did not. He spent his last minutes helping other firefighters get out, which is what cost him the time he needed to get out himself. He was one of the 343.
Joe Pfeifer went back to work. He spent the rest of his career on the problem, built the FDNY's counterterrorism and emergency preparedness operation, and studied the command failures of that morning harder than anyone because he had lived inside every one of them. He was the last of the 9/11 chiefs still serving when he finally retired.
He has said that 9/11 is made up of small stories of people making small decisions that turned out to be the difference between living and dying.
One of those decisions was his. He told his brother to go up, and his brother went, and that is what both of them had signed up for, and he has carried it every day since.
@Gabrielle82S@PastorNinja Pretty sure God still calls for justice and his standards to be held. You can be forgiven of sins by God but you must pay the consequences for crimes on earth
@JoelWebbon Nothing wrong with carrying but stop then saying stupid stuff at the end is soo irritating. Used to listen to you but you’re so predictable now
