The FDNY added 36 names to the World Trade Center Memorial Wall on Wednesday at FDNY Headquarters in Brooklyn, honoring the members who died over the past year from illnesses related to their work in the rescue and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center.
As we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11th, we remember that the impact of that day didn't end when fires were extinguished or when the recovery efforts concluded. In the years since, hundreds of FDNY members have died from illnesses connected to their heroic work, and countless others continue to battle WTC-related diseases.
Each name added to our World Trade Center Memorial Wall represents a life of service, sacrifice and an enduring legacy within the FDNY.
Twenty-five years later, our promise remains unchanged. We will Never Forget.
The Intelligence Value of a Plane Spotter
A Chinese university student studying in Canada is in U.S. custody after the FBI says he admitted taking photographs of aircraft and airport facilities for someone he believed worked for a Chinese security service.
Weiheng Zeng, a Chinese citizen and undergraduate at the University of Waterloo, was arrested in Michigan on Aug. 23 after crossing into the United States from Canada. He is charged with making false statements. The allegations have not been proven in court, but the FBI complaint describes something much more interesting than a student who simply liked photographing airplanes.
According to investigators, Zeng was being paid to photograph specific aircraft, capture their tail numbers and photograph airport logistics facilities.
The case began on April 21, when FedEx employees at Chicago O’Hare International Airport noticed Zeng photographing aircraft in a company parking area. Security footage allegedly showed him climbing onto a forklift to get a better angle and trying to open a locked FedEx truck and shipping container. When he attempted to re-enter the United States in August, border officers found numerous photographs of military aircraft on his phone.
Zeng initially told investigators that aviation photography was a hobby. According to the FBI, he later admitted that a contact in China was paying him to photograph particular aircraft and their tail numbers. Zeng said he believed the individual worked for a Chinese security service.
Taking pictures of airplanes is not intelligence collection by itself. But if someone is telling you which aircraft to photograph, which information to capture and which facilities to visit, that starts to look very different. According to the FBI account, Zeng was allegedly being given specific collection requirements rather than simply photographing whatever interested him.
The way they allegedly communicated is also notable. The FBI says the contact mailed Zeng a new China Telecom SIM card every four to five months for use in a Huawei phone. Zeng was allegedly instructed to destroy the SIM cards, delete their conversations and delete the photographs after transmitting them. Payments were reportedly made through bank transfers in Chinese yuan.
The collection itself was simple. The handling of the collector appears to have been much more deliberate. The activity was not limited to Chicago. Zeng allegedly told investigators that the same contact directed him in October 2025 to photograph a FedEx facility at Toronto Pearson International Airport. He was confronted by an employee before getting inside, but reportedly sent the photographs he was able to take and received about $200.
None of the individual requirements sounds especially sophisticated. Photograph an aircraft. Get the tail number. Photograph a logistics facility. But put enough of those pieces together over time and you can begin identifying aircraft movements, recurring patterns, locations and logistics activity.
The collector does not necessarily have to understand why one aircraft or one facility matters more than another. He just has to collect what he was asked for and send it back.
China’s interest in aviation information is not new. Previous U.S. cases have involved Chinese intelligence officers targeting aviation personnel and seeking information connected to military and civilian aircraft and aerospace technology. That does not tell us who Zeng’s alleged contact was or prove that his case was part of a larger operation, but it helps explain why information that looks fairly routine could still have intelligence value.
Zeng was not a diplomat, defense contractor or intelligence professional. He was a university student interested in aviation, which gave him a natural reason to be around airports with a camera.
From a counterintelligence standpoint, the concern is not the camera or the hobby. It is the specific tasking, payment, repeated collection and instructions to hide the relationship. That is what changes the picture.
You do not need someone inside a classified program to collect useful intelligence. Sometimes you just need someone who can get close enough, blend in and bring back exactly what you asked for.
WOW! She's really refusing a debate & as best as she tried, she really did seem to crack under the covid pressure in Ohio.
🚨 NOW: Trump-backed Ohio governor candidate Vivek Ramaswamy just went on national TV and EXPOSED Amy Acton (D) for REFUSING to debate him
"I ACCEPTED a debate from 2 well-known networks: CNN and NBC!"
"She wants to HIDE from her record, all the nasty and crazy things they've said. To my opponent...I challenge you to SHOW UP. Defend your positions!"
"She came out and said she's refusing to debate."
"If you are not willing to debate, you can't lead a state!"
@VivekGRamaswamy
She claimed she didn't want to survive anyway! Even manslaughter is applied by law in self defense
🚨Lindsay Clancy’s attorney says…. “The mom who killed her three children won’t be able to survive another trial… should it come to that.”
So be it!! These babies deserve justice
This is so heartbreaking, where are the posters, folks lining the street to support him? 😢
Every dad, every man should read Patrick Clancy’s 911 call transcript.
Dawson was his first son. The first son to a father is an incredible bond that only God can accurately explain.
My gut is wrenching and I cannot stop thinking about it.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: My wife tried to commit suicide.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Stay awake. How old is she?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: 31–33.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she awake?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Yes.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she breathing?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Yeah. Lindsay, what did you do to your neck? She’s talking.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: When did this happen?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Last half hour.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: How far did she fall?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: 20 feet.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is she responding normally?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: A little bit. Wake up!
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: What part of the body was injured?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Her neck. She’s breathing. Lindsay, look at me. Look at me.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Are there weapons?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: I don’t see any. Where are the kids?
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Do not move her.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Open your eyes. Lindsay, look at me. Open your eyes. Say my name.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: I’m going to tell you how to stop the bleeding.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: It’s not really bleeding… open wounds. She’s in the backyard.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Is there something on her neck? Can you put pressure on it?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: No. Lindsay, wake up. They’re coming. Look at me.
𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀. First responders arrive.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: I need you to stay with her. I have to go check on my kids.
𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 / 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀.
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Guys? Guys?
Cora? Cora?
Dawson?
Oh no. Oh no!
Wake up!
Then screaming and gasping for an extended stretch.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: What’s going on? Hello?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Basement! Basement! Oh my God! I need help in the basement right now.
𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿: Hello? Hello?
𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸: Dawson! My buddy! My little boy! My buddy!
AHHHHH, SHE KILLED THE KIDS!!! Oh my God!
Not every American gets paid holidays like federal employees do; it would be nice to take a look at how many recess is given in the senate & house
Trump says that there are too many non-working holidays in the US
Absolutely 👏
If postpartum mental illness becomes a get-out-of-jail-free card for murdering your children, then by logic, anyone diagnosed with it should lose custody of their kids.
This 👇 👇 👇 Seems like the guy was trying to get lucky under the zip code rule from the sounds of things, guys at bars can be much more persistent...I sure hope the lady with her previous abuse history doesn't go to Europe with her pay day. Yikes!
I finally have received a reliable, detailed description of the video evidence used in this case from a source. The description was a dissection of the entire sequence of videos from ICE and Tesla cameras nearly frame by frame. I will summarize to save space here.
Mr. Tardio never made offensive/sexual contact with the victim. Never grabbed her bra strap and never put his hands down her pants to grab her underwear. He touched the back of her shoulder and her hip briefly (not her bottom). He did impede her for a short time but the final interaction was without any physical contact at all face to face and they turned and went the opposite direction. No sexual contact occurred.
He was very impaired it appears. There isn’t sound mentioned so I’m assuming there is no audio.
.@GovKathyHochul is manufacturing a funding crisis despite New York sitting on more than $300 million in UNSPENT federal homeland security funding.
For more than two decades, New York traditionally received funding allocations significantly ABOVE risk-based formulas, allowing them to rake in MORE money than other states.
Instead of falsely accusing President Trump of defunding law enforcement, Governor Hochul and @NYCMayor should answer a much simpler question: Why is New York demanding even more taxpayer money when it has failed to spend hundreds of millions of dollars already provided to protect its communities?
On September 11, 2001, FDNY members from Ladder Company 6 were helping Josephine Harris down Stairwell B in the North Tower when the building collapsed around them. Trapped beneath the rubble for hours, Josephine, six firefighters and a Port Authority police officer survived.
What began as a rescue that day became a lifelong bond. Josephine remained close with the members of Ladder 6 until she died in 2011. The same firefighters carried her one last time as pallbearers at her funeral.
On Tuesday, Josephine's family returned the green firehouse jacket she was given from Ladder 6 members following 9/11. Four of the six members who helped rescue Josephine 25 years ago were there to accept the jacket.
Now, it will remain as a permanent reminder of a life saved, a bond shared, and the promise to Never Forget.
This is the first time I see this video clip and I thought I saw them all in the last 25 years since 9/11
Oh I was there. It’s called my childhood.
Madeline Amy Sweeney knew the plane had been hijacked. Instead of panicking, she started gathering information.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, the 35-year-old American Airlines flight attendant was working aboard Flight 11, a Boeing 767 traveling from Boston to Los Angeles.
Not long after takeoff, something was terribly wrong.
The cockpit stopped responding.
Passengers were being attacked.
Crew members were injured.
The aircraft was no longer under the control of its pilots.
As chaos unfolded around her, Sweeney managed to connect to an American Airlines operations center using an Airfone. On the other end was supervisor Michael Woodward.
What followed would become one of the most important eyewitness accounts from inside a hijacked aircraft.
Sweeney didn't waste precious moments focusing on her own fate.
Instead, she began relaying information.
Carefully.
Clearly.
Methodically.
She described the men who had taken over the plane.
She gave their seat assignments.
She reported injuries among passengers and crew.
She explained that a passenger had been stabbed.
Every detail mattered.
Even as she faced the reality that she might never leave the aircraft alive, she continued feeding information to authorities.
According to later accounts, Woodward was struck by how calm and composed she remained. Her voice was steady. Her descriptions were precise.
Then she provided information that would later prove critical to investigators.
She identified Mohamed Atta as one of the hijackers and supplied details about the others involved.
As Flight 11 headed toward New York City, Sweeney stayed on the line, continuing to report what she could see.
At 8:46 a.m., the plane slammed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Everyone on board was killed.
Sweeney was just 35 years old.
The information she provided during those final minutes became some of the earliest and most valuable evidence available to investigators trying to understand what had happened.
She couldn't regain control of the aircraft.
She couldn't stop the hijackers.
She couldn't save herself.
But she could help others understand what was unfolding.
And she did.
Until the very end.
Madeline Sweeney left behind her husband and two young children—her son, Jack, who was four, and her daughter, Anna, who was seven.
They never saw her again.
Yet in the face of unimaginable circumstances, she chose to remain focused, courageous, and selfless.
Trapped aboard a hijacked plane with no way out, Madeline Amy Sweeney spent her final moments ensuring that the world would know exactly who had taken control of Flight 11—and what was happening inside it.

The Financial Times reports that Russia has been secretly helping Iran develop supersonic cruise missile technology since 2023, in what could become one of Moscow’s most significant military technology transfers to Tehran.
The program, known as C430L, involves Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport and NPO Mashinostroyenia, with Russian missile engineers traveling repeatedly to Iran and analyzing Iranian ramjet flight-test data. The technology could eventually enable Iran to field faster, low altitude anti ship and land attack cruise missiles that would be significantly harder for U.S. and allied defenses to intercept.
Iran has already built and flight tested the ramjet propulsion system, but the FT found no evidence that a Russian assisted supersonic cruise missile has been deployed. The leaked correspondence indicates the program remained active into June 2026, including discussions about a next phase, although it is unclear whether that phase has begun.
The development is particularly significant for U.S. naval forces in the Middle East: Iran has demonstrated an ability to threaten American bases with drones and ballistic missiles, but has so far been less successful against U.S. naval assets. A mature ramjet powered anti ship missile could give Tehran a substantially more capable weapon for targeting ships in the Gulf and surrounding waters.

Sickening 😪
This right here!!!!
Timothy Ray Jones Jr. strangled his 5 kids to death during schizophrenic psychosis
The jury deliberated for 2 hours
He got the death penalty
In a world full of ugly be like this guy 👇
🚨WOW!!!
A foster mom caring for THREE special-needs kids couldn't afford the parts to fix her van's broken AC.
So a total stranger bought the parts himself, fixed it for free, and had it running before she got there.
When she reached in and felt cold air for the first time… she broke down crying. ❤️
The strangers name is Michael Kuba.
And that story? It's just one of thousands.
About 11 years ago, Michael's own van AC died and the car shop quoted him almost $4,000.
He had 3 little kids crying in the back seat in the Arizona heat… and no way to pay it.
So he did the only thing he could do.
He bought some tools. Watched YouTube. And through pure trial and error, he taught himself to fix it.
Then he had a thought: how many other families are stuck in this exact spot?
That was the birth of The Junkie Garage, a nonprofit in Glendale, Arizona.
The rules are almost unbelievable.
No income checks.
No paperwork.
No questions about your money or your past.
You bring the parts. Y
ou donate whatever you can afford for the labor.
That's it.
"I don't ask you for your income. I don't ask you who you are, where you came from, or anything like that. I just wanna help people get their cars working right."
An AC job that runs $2,000 to $4,000 at a normal shop? His average customer pays less than $300, donations included.
...but Michael doesn't do it alone.
His son Matthew has been right there beside him, wrench in hand, since he was EIGHT years old.
He's a teenager now, and he's still there every week, fixing cars for strangers in his community.
"It's an amazing bonding experience, and it gives me an opportunity most kids don't get."
A dad teaching his boy how to fix an alternator… and how to be a man.
Michael puts it like this:
"You haven't lived until you've done something for someone that can never repay you."
He's got dreams of a bigger shop, more volunteers, more cars, more families kept on the road to work and school and church.
"If you have the ability to help people, just do it."
GOD BLESS Michael and Matthew Kuba. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow...only one person is being spewing hateful language here...does this mean the guy in the dress deserves to be murdered? No No NOOO!
I should never have to wear a bulletproof vest just to walk onto a college campus and speak the truth about the value of human life. But this is the reality pro-life activists face.
It’s no surprise that a culture which celebrates violence against preborn children also promotes hatred and threats toward those who defend them.
But we will not be intimidated into silence.
Because lives are on the line. Every mind changed and every baby saved makes the fight worth it.
This fall, I’m heading back to college campuses across the country to spread the pro-life message. No matter the backlash, no matter the threats, we will keep showing up.
We will not back down until abortion is abolished.
Here is how Charlie actually spoke to transgender people who showed up at his debates.
Richard Novak calls this "hateful."
