SCANNER AUDIO - F.D.N.Y and N.Y.P.D some of the kaos on 911

F.D.N.Y and N.Y.P.D audio of some of the kaos that took place on 9/11.On September 11, 2001 terrorists associated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger aircraft and used these as weapons in order to attack targets in New York and Washington, DC during the September 11, 2001 attacks. Two aircraft, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 were flown by the terrorists into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, causing massive damage both during impact, when the jet fuel was consumed by fire, and finally when the buildings collapsed.

New York City firemen were deployed to the World Trade Center minutes after the first aircraft struck the north tower. Chief officers set up a command center in the lobby as firemen climbed up the stairs. A mobile command center was also set-up outside on Vesey Street, but was destroyed when the buildings collapsed. A command post was then set-up at a firehouse in Greenwich Village. The FDNY deployed 200 units to the site, with more than 400 firemen on the scene when the buildings collapsed.[2]

Many firemen arrived at the World Trade Center without meeting at the command centers. Problems with radio communication caused commanders to lose contact with many of the firemen who went into the buildings; those firemen were unable to hear evacuation orders. [3] There was practically no communication with the police, who had helicopters at the scene. When the towers collapsed, hundreds were killed or trapped within. Three hundred forty-three of the FDNY firemen and paramedics who responded to the attacks on September 11, 2001 lost their lives, and others were injured. The casualties included First Deputy Commissioner William M. Feehan, Chief of Department Peter Ganci[2] and Department Chaplain Mychal Judge.

Meanwhile, average response times to fires elsewhere in the city that day only rose by one minute, to 5.5 minutes. Many of the surviving firemen continued to work alternating 24-hour shifts. Firemen and EMTs came from hundreds of miles around New York City, including numerous volunteer units in Upstate New York, Long Island, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The NJ State First Aid Council which represents Volunteer First Aid and Rescue Squads also reported that hundreds of the Councils' ambulances and rescue personnel also went to Ground Zero.

that was the worst day of my life. I made it out but i lost my father (fdny) and my brother (nypd), and a handfull of friends. 911 turned my life upside down

God bless the dispatchers. They knew before any of us that this was the big one. The call we all dread. Listening to all their brothers and sisters. Sitting in a remote room trying to help and plan for 'what next?' in a previosly unimaganable scenario. As far as radios not working? Happens all the time. Most people live with a can't happen to me mentality. Why pay for radios or equiptment or personnel that you will never need?

This gives a whole different perspective on 9/11. Pretty interesting stuff. Thank you to whoever was scanning this, I bet that was something to sit there and listen to on that day when it was coming over it.

@jimthepim What the fuck do you know about Pete Ganci? Obviously not much since you don't even know how to spell his name. He was in command of operations right across from the towers. The difference between him and the civilians was they were all understandably running away while he knew he had to stand his ground because it was his job and he was right there with the guys. You're the first idiot I've ever heard suggest that any F.D.N.Y. member who lost his life there that day was not a hero.

Peter Gianci was not a 'hero' on 911. He was killed by a jumper while he was performing a 'battlefield promotion ceremony' to promote 5 firemen who would not otherwise have been eligible for promotion based solely on test results and length of service. Gianci was no more worthy of receiving 911accolades than an average citizen who might have been killed by a jumper.
