The FDNY released this week audio recordings and oral histories of the events of 9/11. Though many tapes were held back, there should be some interesting stuff that made it out, nevertheless. For instance, check this AP report run by the Guardian August 13:

...In one oral history, a firefighter whose engine was sent to the north tower - the first to be struck and the second to collapse - described rushing up a stairway as people were coming down. Kirk Long said: "I was watching every person coming down, looked at their face, just to make them happy that they were getting out and we were going in, and everything was OK."

He remembered hearing the north tower shake and thought something in the basement had exploded...

A similar report ran on MSNBC.com, but it was revised later in the day to remove Kirk Long's story. Here's what the MSNBC page looks like now; and here is the story they originally ran, as archived by yourbbsucks.com.
