He has a way of speaking--an authenticity, a complete sincerity--that makes you want to keep listening. Seems like a kind, humble man, speaks in an understated way which is very powerful. Moving interview.
Eloquently said and I COMPLETELY Agree!! Please do read some of the Comments here from people who KNOW and Love Mickey, attesting to the fact that he’s Everything you thought he was and MORE!! A True HERO on and off the Job!! ❤️🙏💕🌹
His survival through multiple significant, life threatening situations, not only while serving on the NYPD & NYFD but his alcoholism, is a testament to not only his training, but his instincts, & will to live. Thank you for your service, Mickey.
@@lesliebolick2407 I HOPE folks here take a little time to read some of the Comments from people who obviously know and LOVE Mickey!! He is a TRUE Hero on and off the Job, plus he’s so charming, humble and funny that I could listen to him for hours! He can even joke about not knowing if he was Dead or not “because I’ve never been dead before so how would I know what it feels like” - so Mickey!! 😂 ❤️💕😇
Mickey is a hero amongst all the heroes on 9-11. RIP to all the brave service personnel who ran up when everyone else run out. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
This man caught my attention on 9/11 2001. He's such a strong n positive guy. This is especially true during times of distress n it amazes me how positive he was on that day. Love ya man. You make me proud to be an American. Semper Fi brother
Mickey was featured in the 6 part Nat Geo documentary called “9/11: One Day in America” that came out in 2021. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone who hasnt seen it. Absolute masterpiece in documentary film making
Uncle mic mick I love you forever! I’ll forever be more than greatful for what you did that day saving my aunt saving others!! Words can’t describe how much I love you 💜
Mickey Kross’s interview from shortly after 9/11 (sometime in the early 2000s) has always stuck with me. I’m so glad to have found this interview & to know he hasn’t suffered any major 9/11 illnesses. ❤️
I remember Mickey from earlier videos. God bless this wonderful man. Keeping him in prayers for good health and staying safe. You are precious to all who have heard your story.
Ny dear friend's Dad was a 1st responder and worked for months at Ground Zero. He is 80 years old now, and dying of lung cancer. Breathing in that air has killed so many people.
More people have died from illnesses & diseases in 9/11 than the actual plane crash and building collapse. I think in total it’s almost 10,000 lives lost due to this entire attack. RIP to those that lost their lives in the attack and the aftermath
I remember this remarkable man and his colleagues from years ago. Yes he looks a lot frailer but his spirit is ageless and shines through, God bless him and all the Emergency teams that helped everyone, and also survivors from the towers that worked in the buildings . New Yorkers were amazing and clearly all tried to help each other during and after this event. Best wishes to everyone xx Never forget .
Thank you Lt. Kross. I was 14 years old here in NYC when the Twin Towers were destroyed. I'll never forget that day. Let's never forget our first responders, and the many lost that day.
Comes across as a very considered and thoughtful man. Who has lived a full and interesting life even outside 9/11. I wish him all the very best from Ireland.
So glad you're still with us Mickey❤. I've seen many documentaries with you in it. I always wondered what happened to you. Be well Mickey and ty for your bravery ❤ also very sad to hear about Josephine 😥
Got to meet Mickey a few years back when he traveled out to Chicagoland. My husband (retired B/C) drove Mickey from the hotel to an establishment where Mickey was guest of honor. Fascinating stories!
Just listening to this now. So nice to see this man although 23 years older is still a funny,interesting human being and I’ve always loved his accent .
What a wonderful interview with a beautiful man. Thank you for sharing with us all. And thank you Mickey for your service and bravery. You are a hero 🙏🏻
The absolute trauma of that day. And this brave soul without a scratch. Sure he has battled PTSD all these years. What happened? People who survive plane crashes ask the same thing. Heroes all.
Wow Mickey Kross. I can't believe how old he's gotten 😳 I will always remember his story, it feels like yesterday. I'm pleased to see he's still with us, he is such a great guy. Best wishes health and happiness Mickey 👨🚒🚒🎖
What a incredible human being Mickey is. He is endearing, honest, and genuine. This interview is wonderfully done and should be viewed by all interested, adult Americans as well as viewed by school children in their history classes. The events of 9/11 changed the course of my remaining work life, and for this, I feel a connection of brotherhood with Mickey.
I recognized him from another 9/11 documentary and had to watch. What a cool guy. Humble, heroic, and what a storyteller. Reminds me of my dad who is 81 and has similar qualities. Great interview.
I'm Canadian and the events of 9/11 captured the world'sattention and our hearts broke for New York 💔 and for all US citizens. So many heros stepped up that day especially the passengers who thwarted the hijacking of flight 93. The courage and bravery of fire fighters on a normal day is commendable and that day they showed the world true heroism. I think we all became "adopted" Americans on that day 🇺🇸 ♥ To all the emergency responders and to everyone affected by this tragedy I pray you find some peace 🙏 🇺🇸 🙏 God Bless America 🙏 🇺🇸
I just want to hug this man! Such an amazing man with a remarkable story! I love hearing each one of these hero’s stories!God Bless you, sir, and thank you for your service! 🇺🇸❤
The really heartbreaking thing is that in many videos of that day you can hear him speaking on the radio to command and other firefighters that ultimately died that day chief pfeifer survived , Mickey survived , and others that he worked with survived but many others he loved and worked alongside from other stations were killed.
Honestly seems like the most fascinating guy on the planet, not just his 9/11 story, but the different professions he took it was interested in, how his intentions wasn’t originally to become a firefighter, his dedication to continue after 9/11 seeing to him it was his obligation is inspiring. Mickey is the tough as nails as they come, it seems like he’s had so many close calls but it ends up with him unscathed. It’s an honor that he shared his story with us, the way how he presents himself he is able to talk about his story without letting it get to him as this day is a very haunting day for those of us who remember that day. And very glad that so far he hasn’t been devastatingly affected by the health concerns related to the aftermath of the attacks. I hope that he has thought about sharing his story with the youth who have zero understanding of the events and teaches them of that day. A lot of young people are coming into the world with little understanding of what our experiences were and how it has impacted their lives growing up without their knowledge. Have a feeling he is one of the few who can help them connect to that day.
Mickey Kross recently attended an event in Connecticut. "Retired New York City firefighter Mickey Kross who survived the collapse of the north tower was recognized for his heroism." and then went to the NY event as well.
Hey Mick glad your still with us. Stay well R (Mick and another FF from his house Steve Belson were 2 of the FFs I got to know when I got on in 1980. We lost Steve on 9/11.)
I was 39 years old and an Asst Fire Chief in Maryland, watching this unfold on tv, nauseous because I had the knowledge that brothers were going to die that day. I never thought that 343 brothers would Parrish. I wanted so bad to be there on that scene helping. I visited the freedom tower and the 9/11 museums and the tower waterfalls. I felt a very deep reverence and honor to be on that spot. Mickey thanks for telling your story. I’m glad you are alive and retired, You earned it. RIP Brothers.
I really enjoyed your story Mickey. Such a humble man for all you've been through. Thank you for your service on 911 and beyond. I hope you are enjoying life these days. Much love to you, Take care 🇺🇲🧯
This is such an amazing video! Authentic, relaxed style, brilliantly produced. And Mickey is just fabulous, a great story teller. Great work all round, credit to all involved in making this.
Hearing your story is truly remarkable and will stick with me forever! The way you tell a story reminds me so much of my late grandad and it brought so much comfort ❤
Always loved listening to Mickey all the way back to the 2006 Miracle of Stairway B documentary. Plain-spoken, very direct and relaxed as can be. So glad he's still here to share the stories. God bless, Lt. Kross!

Sadly, Mickey passed away. RIP
He is alive. Check Connecticut recent News of the event he just attended!.

If you wanna see more of Mickey Kross then go watch One Day in America. Such a phenomenal documentary
Just watched it yesterday out of respect, great stories of people and hero’s that I didn’t even know about from that day…
Thank you
Thanks 🙏 watching it in a min
That docu-series was phenomenal
911 Underground is another doc he was featured in. Talks about the search for victims after Sep 11.
Mickey is not only a hero but also an uncle to some of us that never had one.
He’s a TRUE HERO not just as a Firefighter but as a Human Being!!! ❤️💕😇🙏
No heroes keep their mouths shut about their comrades murders
Mickey Kross & Lt Pfeifer are the two that always come to mind when i think about 9/11
Yup
I still remember him saying 1234 I Love the Marine Cor.
And, Orio Palmer❤
Jay jonas too
Jay Jonas as well.

I was wondering if Mickey Kross was still with us bc it was rumored that he passed. So glad he’s still around.
Same here. Great testimony
The miracle of stairway B

I'm curious why there wasn't a portion of the stairway saved for the museum. Was it too difficult to get out of the rubble?
@@ShaunPuzon There is a portion of the stairs at the 9/11 museum

His wisdom, insight, humility, and judgment are off the charts. A remarkable man.

What a legend...love his accent.
What kind of accent does he have? I could hear some interesting words like coffee or of course but I don’t know what that accent is.
@@referencecorrsarchives99 he's a New Yorker through and through...
Thank you Lt. Kross. I was 14 years old here in NYC when the Twin Towers were destroyed. I'll never forget that day. Let's never forget our first responders, and the many lost that day.
Courage is what I see especially in the firemen who went up to save others yet saw death happening right before their eyes. Courage heals the soul.
They must had known that they were unlikely to survive as they passed everyone going down .
More like ARROGANCE!
Thank you for your years of service and your dedication to the people of NY.
Comes across as a very considered and thoughtful man. Who has lived a full and interesting life even outside 9/11.

Wow Mickey what an all American hero, I’m Canadian , I’d like to thank him and all the firefighters and Nypd for their service
What an amazing life this man has had
Wow God has kept this guy here and called him to help people! It's really amazing what he endured as a police officer and a fire fighter.
He endured a false narrative that blamed the disappearance of 3000 bodies on a building collapse!
Yet your sky fairy killed almost 3,000 people that day. You are delusional!
