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.
