    I was on 74th floor tower 2 when the second plane hit. Finally got out very late. This is an incredible account, so real and close to my experience. I think I saw both Chief Burns at the bottom of B in tower 2. Bigger than life! And possibly Calvin in the street level lobby. Talked with Fire Marshall Ronald Bucca on 60. Yes Tim, each responder KNEW it. It was in there in there eyes and voice. So appreciate this account. You were one of the very best that day and a very good person. Thank you!!!

    I was at work (dialysis), just finished getting 1st shift on. Turned on the tv for our patients, and withnessed the first plane. I woke up two gentlemen patients to watch. I honestly thought "drunk pilot." Then witnessed all the rest. I still 22 years later remember vividly all of it. I read and watch EVERYTHING! My heart breaks to know what all those people went through. Even 22 years later. Tim Brown, Pasqual and Welles are the stories that have stayed in my memories. Bless you all!

      "So there are obviously two sides to your story - one that lived it and one that just wants to know. I'm atheist but I pray to whatever gods out there might be listening that your uncle will someday be able to share his story. I was only a measly freshman in high school at the time and while I can't speak for you, everybody alive in our country 20 years ago was affected by this. My parents saw JFK's assassination "live" and remember their stories. We all experienced this in such a way that every story is sacred. Every one of our individual experiences with this has shaped the past 20 years of American history that I hope will never be repeated. Your uncle has every right to keep those experiences to himself, his story deserves to be heard. So much changed that day that every voice silenced needs to be heard and preserved in the annals of time so that we may never have to experience it ever again.

On top of the fact that he handled the division that came about after that awful day with fortitude and logic. He is a hero and the true essence of what it means to be a New Yorker from New York. The title hero almost doesn't even cut it. I hope he knows how much he's appreciated and the families of his fallen friends are fortunate to have him here. Reminding and sharing what we all must and will not ever forget. Thank you, Mr. Brown.

His words convey so much- and yet even words fall short of what really happened to him. I’m so grateful he (and other survivors) are brave enough to teach us.

    So even on a random Monday in July 22 years later I can not get enough of learning about people 's experiences on 9/11. My god, he and his friend are the essence of bravery. His friend was a paramedic as well so all he did was save people...he is literally an angel on earth. I love the greeting Tim and his friend shared every time they saw each other. It bought tears to my eyes and made me laugh at the same time. I have been absolutely fascinated by 9/11..Its is the ultimate study of the human condition on so many levels..I have seen pretty much every documentary every made and watch countless interviews. Partly because my Mom was working in the city blocks away and she would take the path to WTC and arrive 7:30am. The feel of not knowing and then the relief when she finally got through to call with her beautiful calming voice to say she was ok was unforgettable. And I think its my need to wrap my mind around this incredibly surreal event that I have this insatiable need to learn everything I can about it.

    Its interesting after watching dozens of these stories, that each one had a chance meeting with people they knew from previous jobs or service duties.

    These are the courageous men and women and survivors who did everything to save others. Only they know what it was like to face difficult situations. And people from all walks of life came together to help one another.

    I’ve watched about 6 or 7 of these stories so far and this one is the best told, most intense, and just awesome in the worst of ways and I watched the Jimeno and Strauss ones thats got a movie made of it. I would much rather have seen this guys movie. Thanks for sharing Tim.

    This man I think so far is the most detailed story teller out of any of the victims that said maybe 1 minute of story thanks to the media shortening it. There need to be more of these, long detailed stories. Also we need to hear what people literally went through with the payouts, day by day phone calls and in-person, therapy of any sort done. Any and all information helps us all more understand what happened that day and following months and years.

    Tim, your ordeal was nothing less than amazing! No words can possibly express how deeply your video has affected me. It amazes me to no end how people like you survived. I will never understand how a bunch of people could hate us so much, to fly jets into buildings and kill so many innocent people. God bless you, Tim!

    Thank you Tim for telling your story. It was difficult to listen to it, I can’t even imagine what it was like for you being there experiencing it! You spoke with such high regard of your fallen comrades. They were so very brave and dedicated. I remember 9/11 very well. I don’t have any connection to NYC, so I don’t know where places were located in or near the WTC. You told your story very well, so I could get some sense of place and space. I learn something new from every story I listen to. All the details from many stories, once they are combined, provide a much clearer picture of what happened, how it happened, when it happened. The new detail I took away from your story is the strength of the wind. Most people mention the horrible noise they heard when the buildings collapsed. I’ve not heard the wind described the way you did.
    I am so very sorry for your losses! Thank you for your service. Best wishes to you!

I am so thankful that I got to help in some small way, that I got to work for the World Trade Center Health Program for 9-11 as a customer service representative. My heart still breaks for all the heroes that were lost that day from FDNY, NYPD, all the dear civilians, and the families.🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸⚓⚓ As you know our Oath Never Expires.

What I will never forget my mom watching the tv and crying hysterically at first she says she thought that it might have been a movie but it was Live on tv happening in New York City. I remember watching people throw themselves from the tours it was so hard to watch and I’ll never forget. Thank you for your testimony and god bless you Tim.
