This is how he spent 9/11 2001.<br /><br />My son was the head of Brooklyn College EMS when 9/11 happened. He grabbed some "volunteers" who happened to be hanging out in the office that day and loaded a bus with extra gear. They headed into the city by going through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.<br /><br />Half way through the tunnel they were hit by a very strong wind loaded with dust and paper debris. Slowing up they continued on their mission. Behind the paper storm they saw, coming at them a police car followed by hundreds of running people. They put the bus (term for ambulance) into reverse and started backing their way out of the tunnel, with people grabbing hold of the bus and clinging to it they pulled out of the tunnel and with the help of the on hand police car they set up a triage area.<br /><br />They spent about an hour or so there until they were relieved by a replacement crew. They headed back into the tunnel and completed their trip to Ground Zero where they were all assigned jobs. My younger son spent over 24 hours in the hole. He was on the bucket brigade (for which he still has nightmares) bringing out debris containing human remains and body parts.<br /><br />We had no idea of the extent of his involvement till a year or so later he was video taped giving a talk about that day at a Jewish Center in New Jersey.<br /><br />He is now an instructor and Disaster Co-ordinater with the New York City Office of Emergency Management.<br /><br />If I'm the lucky winner I'd love the Amazon card.NoraAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820850644240626655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-14030653370121030912013-09-11T15:07:10.724-04:002013-09-11T15:07:10.724-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.NoraAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820850644240626655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-91694136104681145912013-09-11T13:32:15.228-04:002013-09-11T13:32:15.228-04:00I love amazon and would love to win a gift card.I love amazon and would love to win a gift card.Marjorie/cenya2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08308328561121202507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-87198276401279255822013-09-11T11:31:34.805-04:002013-09-11T11:31:34.805-04:00Thank you for the giveaway.I would choose amazon.Thank you for the giveaway.I would choose amazon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12634463885119117375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-20469366503205082182013-09-11T07:56:14.945-04:002013-09-11T07:56:14.945-04:00Thanks for hosting - Today is a day of remembrance...Thanks for hosting - Today is a day of remembrance and for thanking the heroes who keep us safe and free-I will be offline for most of the day due to work but will try to pop in and for sure will return after 7pm Best LindaLinda Merlinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116398128501935591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-7920806749586262632013-09-11T07:25:53.835-04:002013-09-11T07:25:53.835-04:00Thanks for hosting!Thanks for hosting!Goddess Fish Promotionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952608939319684406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507068359482836716.post-75079614821117122852013-09-11T06:53:41.649-04:002013-09-11T06:53:41.649-04:00It sounds like something I would enjoy.
