Thanks a lot joe

I share your clips with my fire fighters group.

I know firefighters try their best. I used to be one.

He died in the World Trade Center. IDK who started the fire anymore, I just know he didn't.

Maybe he left and started the fire.. firefighters try their best to recover any body

well 9/11 conspiracy or not... that must have been hard. Take comfort from the fact that I am sure all those above the impact did their best to get out.

[vickiormindyb]

They COULDN'T have done anything else.

There's just a crazy part of me that keeps trying to convince me he isn't dead.

It's dumb, I know, but it began after we had to bury an empty casket. I never thought it would effect me that way.

I don't blame the firefighters at all. They got other people out; they would have rescued him if they could.

I blame Mohamed Atta, the one who flew the plane into the tower. And Osama bin Laden.

It's too painful to think my own government plotted to have him killed.

I am incredibly sorry for your loss, but I dont see what else they could have done

He was above the impact point anyway. They didn't try to go above the impact point, especially after Tower 2 crashed to the ground. When the S. Tower fell, the firefighter captain-or whatever the hell he was-told all the firefighters in Tower 1 to leave. They all got out alive-one minute before Tower 1, where my daughter's dad was, crashed to the ground.

extra underwear.. the extra underwear is important to be carry because you may sh%$ yourself in the middle of a fire .. xD lolz

I wish I could contact this guy and ask him why firefighters couldn't save my husband from the fire he died in. They not only couldn't find him, but his body was never recovered afterward. It was like he vanished off the face of the earth; I can't understand and definitely DON'T LIKE it.
