We currently have four applications in to adopt a doggo & I just want one.

In my opinion on if the biggest problems with the fire service is officers wanted to be in charge, not be leaders. As John Boyd put it, they wanted to be someone, not do something. They want to feel important, be the boss, but not carry the burden of true leadership.

This man's name is Rick Rescorla.

22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives.

Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers' basements were vulnerable to attack.

His warnings fell on deaf ears.

Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.

After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety.

Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building.

He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.

Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air.

And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened.

When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower's speaker system "Please do not leave the building. This area is secure."

Rick ignored them.

"The dumb sons of b------s told me not to evacuate," he said to his best friend Dan. "They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people the f--k out of here."

And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building.

His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower.

Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors.

But first, he called his wife Susan.

"Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."

Rick rushed back to the South Tower.

That was the last time anyone saw him alive.

All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived.

Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead.

Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead.

Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.

Of all the pictures of 9/11 this one bothers me the most-we got a call from one of our guys who was detailed to operations to tell us the horrible numbers they had by the next morning-I completely filled the blackboard with the company numbers-RIP brothers #NeverForget911 #fdny

In April 2012, a team of researchers intentionally conducted a controlled crash of a former Alaska Airlines Boeing 727. This event took place in Mexico and aimed to investigate a genuine aircraft crash scenario. While many believe that surviving a plane crash is unlikely, this study revealed a different reality. The research indicated that passengers seated in the aircraft's front section were most vulnerable during the simulation. Individuals situated near the wings might sustain injuries, but these injuries were not deemed life-threatening. Interestingly, passengers positioned at the back of the plane emerged with minimal harm and only a few injuries.

Can I not sleep because my body thinks it’s only 8:24 or because I took a four hour nap today?
