- Scott Strauss is a retired member of the NYPD Emergency Service Unit. He was on his way home after an overnight shift listening to the radio when he heard the news of the first plane impacting the first tower at World Trade Center. Shortly after returning home, he turned on the TV and he saw the report of the second plane. Strauss immediately set off back to work.
Strauss was part of a team searching “The Pile” for survivors. Both he and Paddy McGee saved the lives of Port Authority Police Officer Will Jimeno and Sgt. John McLoughlin. He was awarded the New York Police Department Medal of Honor.

My Brother My Hero!!!!
Your momma better get after that cough of his.
May God bless him and continue to watch over him as the horror of that day is still effecting him. Not just mentally, which is a nightmare all on it’s own, but his health. I’ve seen a few of your brother’s interviews, as well as the movie, and he is an absolute hero. I can’t even imagine how scared he must have been and he didn’t give up on these men. When he talks about his kids and just wanting to go home and hug them and tell his wife that he loves her, it breaks my heart. The world needs more people in it who are like your amazing brother. Sending love and prayers ❤️🤍💙
Please get him to a doctor if he hasn’t been already! That cough 🥺😔
He absolutely is. People throw around the term 'hero' when someone does what their job requires. Scott went above and beyond, at imminent threat to himself, so the word hero absolutely applies. God bless him and all who sacrificed themselves on that day.
What a stupid thing to say.@@Dethri
Scott really earned that medal of honor. What an incredible human being. Thank you for your service, sir.
This "Will" guy....the fact that he kept being selfless even as he is buried in all that rubble and thinks he's probably going to die, it just leaves me speechless. That level of honor and selflessness is so rare and admirable
I could not agree more.
Bro watch World Trade Center. It’s literally about these hero’s
@@SeattleMarinerMan World Trade Centre movie is terrible. How dare they make money off this terrible tragedy by making a D grade movie off it. It's not even worth watching it's so badly made.💯%
@@victorpeirce4753 This guy is left with such admiration and respect for these people after watching the movie, So I don't really see the reason for you to knock him for that statement, let him enjoy the movie if he wants.
@@missJolie85 🤫🤫🤫 Karen.
You can tell by Scott's cough that he suffered some serious lung damage. I hope he's getting treatment. Scott's a hero who gave his all and shouldn't have to suffer.
The internet detectives have arrived everybody! We're safe!
I absolutely love when people assume things without having a single clue of it. Yes, yes, "severe lung damage", not a cold, or just a dry mouth, no no, it was a severe lung damage said the internet detective doctor.
Made the mistake of checking the first comment...
😂
@@umavidalongedecasawell this was a cringe comment
@@umavidalongedecasa Don't be an ass. It doesn't take a doctor to know that Scott inhaled some nasty shit at ground zero that has caused respiratory problems for him and his fellow first responders that were at the site.
We can argue semantics for days, but the bottom line is that he's clearly not physically well, and he should get treatment ASAFP. His cough is noticeably unusual and concerning.
I’ve watched a lot of these stories and the absolute bravery of the firemen and police is amazing. This man is a hero.
Officer Strauss, thank you for your enduring courage and fortitude, along with the compassion you brought to your job, the rescue efforts! It is apparent the work you have done over the years has made a lasting impact on you! May you be blessed with many years ahead surrounded by loved ones!
All honor and respect to the First Responders who gave their lives on 9-11 with the determination to save lives!
I live in Melbourne Australia, I watched so may episodes of and about 9-11, How beautiful knowing there are people out there who give all for the community, and the people it makes the world feel a little softer.
Thankyou x
Why does the interviewer sound like he’s talking into a fan lol 😅
Pardon me.. but this guy is a God damn hero and he always will be to me... what he did with them other policeman that day no one will ever be able to do again
You can Thank the marines that found the 2 cop's.
2022 i've been watching all of these from New Zealand, been blown away each time. Thank you for sharing these.
Thanks for your service, my dad is from mineola and Jamaica queens. Charlie kircher. God Bless America 🙏 we need answers!!!
Bless this man and his colleagues. I worry about his cough and if it's the result of the air that he experienced.
It's called the World Trade Center Cough. Virtually anyone who spent any amount of time down there, especially the first week, has it. Ground Zero was the worst toxic waste site in the history of New York. More rescue and recovery workers have now died of 9/11 related illnesses than the number of of people murdered outright on 9/11. SeaMac Team1 to other members of Teams 1,2 &3.
@@bobporch yeah. So very sad.
@@jennconducts They created a new special section at the Southwest corner of of the 9/11 Memorial called the Glade. It is dedicated to all those who have died and were sickened by the toxins down there. 9/11 continues on.
@@bobporch I'll look forward to seeing that. My visit to the memorial and the museum was life changing. I lost a friend in the Pentagon attack. He was on the plane.
Just wanted to say you are awesome I wish there was more people like you in the world I love that you stayed to help that port authority officer both of them that took care gouge and heart and love balls am sorry you guys all had to go through this it was such a trable day horrible I really appreciate you all glad you are ok
Incredible story
All of these Officers are so humble and downplay their heroics. At the end, Officer Strauss says the movie WTC isn't about the rescue; it was about the 2 injured PAPD Officers keeping each other alive. I beg to disagree: it was about both. I arrived two days later from out of state and was with some construction workers helping the ESUs. The way I heard it, they tied a rope around Scott's waist in case of a collapse: not to pull him out, but to lead them to his body. I have no doubt that he meant it when he said he thought he would die down there. Just being around those guys, I learned something about Real Heroes. Death isn't the worst thing. Bailing out and letting a fellow Officer die: just not in his genes. Everyday these Officers put themselves in harm's way. He made me laugh when he said he heard all the cheering and thought he must be riding in a fire truck. Thank you for creating this video. After 21 years I just found this channel. SeaMac Team1 to other members of Teams 1,2 &3.
Don’t watch with a Sub-woofer on.
This is amazing I saw this particular story it was on the movie WTC with Nicholas cage. It's amazing this the guy who helped to free them😳❤️
The bravery and selflessness even of Dominique who was free and could have left his team and died trying breaks my heart sooooo badly. I was so sad like I had been there.
But nothing but love and respect for the bravery of those who didn't survive and those who did.
What a great man….
This man is a hero. Hope he has had that cough checked out.
Ya.... Hope he gets a metals detox treatment. (and that he doesn't smoke or vape)
Incredible people the best of humanity
🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸thank you and God bless you
Thank you Scott Strauss! Your account is worth beyond anything.
Hero! Thank you!
Thanks for posting this. It is insightful what he tells. It helps some of us who were teenagers in Brooklyn at the time better understand that day.
Great interview!!!!
The rescue in the movie is underplayed, unfortunately.
I hope Mr. Strauss is okay.
May GOD bless
What this man did moving into that nightmare to save others takes more than courage. Humanity at its finest.
Officer Strauss you are God sent may God continue to bless you
Thanks to the 🚒🚒🚒🚒 and medical Department for looking after the people!
Thank goodness for people like this man. The 'helpers' are certainly the finest of us all.
Nothing but respect for the police, firemen and medical professions including emts.
All that time around ground zero must have damaged his lungs it was hard to watch with all that coughing
I'm worried about his cough too.
God love your soul. One day people may realize that THEY CAN be the kind of person you are. If not ever before, today they have a fine example to follow sir. It lives in you.
what a voice... makes Darth Vader sound like Pee-wee Herman
I watched wills story first now this. Gives me goosebumps and tearful eyes but a hopeful heart in humanity! ❤ thank you heroes and angels
What an extraordinary man. ❤
Scott is our Superman!
Thank you for your service and sacrifice, Mr. Strauss. My simple words will never be enough. Thank you.
I’ve heard this story a hundred times and I still can’t believe they got those officers out with their bare hands. I also can’t believe the rescuers didn’t get killed either. Amazing story.
To this very day I can't go downtown without having serious flashbacks of that fateful day. I just can't do it.
Thes are the unsung heroes of the day.
13:42 Certainly the buildings withstood the impact of the planes as predicted. The problem that caused them to collapse was the high temperatures of the fire, which lasted too long, and which caused the metal structure to weaken and become deformable. This caused the collapse.
At that time I had already studied construction and building structures and seeing the images of the tremendous fire I realised the situation. I said to my brother, who was with me watching the TV: "That building is going to break". I did not think of a total collapse, but rather a tilting of the part above the fire and the falling of that part to one side. But in the end things went in the worst possible way...
It wasn’t the structure that was compromised…
❤
*Scott is still suffering to this day physically with that "Groundzero Cough" I'm sure he's had it checked,but definitely needs to stay on top of it,but with American Healthcare being so siht, I won't hold my breath. Scott would have ingested so much of that toxic smoke and dust, that it's not a matter of if, its when.😥😥*
played by stephen dorff
Correction: Their "faith" didn't do a damned thing for them anymore than it did for the 1000s who died horrible deaths that day begging their nonexistent deity to save them. *Humans created the gods, not the other way around.* NEVER forget that.
Stephen Dorff played him in the movie
Compared to the Fire 🚒🚒 Department and 🚑🚑🚑 and Hospital 🏥 what medica knowledge and experience did he give the injury people? By the way please state your medical training and updating your medical training
can't take the hosts deep gravely opioid voice
The interviewer is like a zoombie.
WORST INTERVIEWER OF ALL TIME, THE OVERLY DRAMATIC DEEP VOICE, AND ZERO EMOTION IS SO OFF PUTTING, ESPECIALLY FOR SUCH A SERIOUS EMOTIONAL STORY
I think he’s a ex military specialist.
What do you expect? A newscaster's overly dramatic voice? Get it together, man!
Geez.... Did ya not learn from this video. It's not about this little thing or that... It's that we all helped etc.
One can't choose the voice they get - some are born w a deep voice...geez.
If you're smart, and have compassion, you can tune out irritants IF... if you listen only to WHAT the interview was saying, the words.
After that, go get a life.
((Okay... this makes more sense... I just noticed your 'handle' -- that explains a ton.))
