Carolyn Brown, sister of FDNY Capt. Patrick Brown of Ladder 3, shares the recording of her brother’s final dispatch call from the 35th floor of the North Tower.
Pat Brown was from time I met him as a proby( new guy), a total class act! Just most unassuming pro. Little did I know he was a guy who lied of age, to go as a Marine in Vietnam. Patty was also a great boxer, he was one sparring partner in the famous Gleason's Gym in Midtown Manhattan, that Robert Duran couldn't destroy, Roberto said he was the toughest guy he met . As a Fireman, and Fire Officer in FDNY, was a guy you knew would, " get you out", no matter what! Probably the John Wayne of our job, and alot of guys could earn that, but Patty to me was the BEST.
I met your brother Paddy through Bobby P. from Zinno Restaurant. Actually had dinner with Paddy before the 3 of us hit the Town. He was so funny, caring and compassionate about his work. I can't believe both Paddy and Bobby are gone. I never got the chance to say good bye😢
I was given the very special gift of one of the shirts this week after hearing Captain Brown and being moved by his professionalism, calmness and bravery displayed in the call to dispatch. Tomorrow, 9/11/19 it is my honor to represent this American Hero.

It's human nature to feel secure as long as you are working in the blind. Being on the 35th floor He had no idea what extent the damage was above him where that plane had hit. His mental concept of everything was no different than any other fire. He was there to extinguish the blaze and rescue the injured and remove the dead. His aggressiveness was no less than it would have been on a lessor leveled structure. Fire fighters have the same mentality as soldiers on the battle field. Their enemy is that raging fire and it's capability to destroy property and human life. The cause is not the immediate issue, the rescue effort and battle the blaze and extinguish it. However the extent of what had hit those buildings were freshly fueled super sonic jets. Carrying extensive explosive fuel tanks that represented a bomb going off and melting girders and beams and knee braces and gussets and " x " bracing. Weakening the upper decks and floors with tons of steel and concrete. Something I am sure this courageous fire fighter never even considered, because his mind was set on helping rescue and secure lives of the injured. He said, burn victims were crowding the stairs as they were going up. It was congested and chaos while slowly moving in the dark dust filled passage ways. Sad for sure....
James smith if you listen to the dispatch audio tapes you could here captain paddy brown on the radio to dispatch the words he said were a plane had just crash in to the World Trade Center we can see it from here truck available
@@heyjoe1813 I highly doubt that anyone knew the buildings were going to collapse. If they did, why in the world would you order 300 firemen to clog the stairwells? If there's a pending collapse, anyone getting out is getting out, anyone who isn't, isn't. Sending a fleet of firefighters up in full gear - even though they weren't ordered to put out the fire, they instantly knew that wasn't possible - was later found out to have cost as many lives as it saved. It was a noble gesture and one that took great courage, but it wasn't the right decision that day. It cost so many lives that didn't need to be lost. I don't say this to take away from these men's contribution to humanity, they displayed tremendous courage, but the emergency response that day should have been handled by the National Guard and outright military. It sickens me that our trillion dollar a year military left 300 NYC fire department personnel to fight what amounted to an act of war. The military has used helicopters before to fight wildfires. Where were they on 9/11? Where was our military? I haven't felt safe in this country since 9/11 because of this event. We sent two unarmed jet planes out over the wrong ocean, couldn't find a plane on primary radar (the planes should have still been visible on old-school radar), and took hours to get military response. What's scariest is that this wasn't a sophisticated government or military that did this. It was 19 civilians with $2 million. They couldn't have rented office space on a single floor of those buildings but took down all 220 with our trillion dollar military watching.
He made the call at 0921, 9:21am. He made the call from the 35th floor of the North Tower approximately 1 hour 7 minutes before the north tower collapse at 10:28am
@@enclaveofficerfitzgerald2221 I also heard that perhaps 20 or 30 minutes before the North Tower collapsed, Brown and his company were treating burned victims in the stairwell around the 44th floor. Do you have an idea as to how many people were being treated?
@Enclave Officer Fitzgerald: Lastly, I’m surprised that Ladder 3 made up to the 35th floor that fast. In comparison, Ladder 6 lead by Jay Jones were only at the 27th floor when the South Tower collapsed at 9:59. Strange.
@@masteroffun9627 I seem to recall reading a while back (and I can't find the source right now) that Jay Jonas was in the lobby waiting to report in and saw Pat, who said something to the effect that "Jay, they're just going to send us up" and so Pat may have headed up first without following official protocol. I wish I could validate this, but maybe Chief Jonas can. I just listened to him on the Gettin' Salty podcast and thought he might mention this, but it didn't come up. Also, I've heard from several places that Pat was heading up even higher to find his friend Terry Hatton (Captain of R-1).

You would actually be incorrect we have all of those things in mind but we do it anyway because it's what needs to be done
He knew
Paddy was a decorated veteran fireman. He could see the extent of the damage to the trade center while they were coming up to it. He knew it was bad.
