WTC Tapes - These Say it All

April 1, 2006

Here are four selections from the tapes that I think speak for themselves.

----------------------

NYPD: " They working on it. They working on it. God is there. Let's

pray. God is there. God is there. God is there. Lie on the floor.

Wet a towel and put it over your head. Lie on the floor. On the

floor! I know it's hard to breathe. I know it is. I understand sir. I

understand. Try not to panic. I know it's hot. They say the stairwell

collapsed and everything. OK they hung up. Oh, ain't this terrible? Oh my God. "

NYPD: " All I got from her was 100 floor WTC. "

FDNY: " She was able to speak? "

NYPD: " Just barely. "

NYPD: " Don't go up. I really do not want to tell you to do that. I

don't want to tell you to move. I'm not trained to tell you that. "

To FDNY: " He wants to know what to do. "

FDNY: " Hold on, stay in the office. Don't go into the hallway.

They're coming upstairs. "

FDNY: " All you alright up there? Is everybody alright? "

NYPD: " Sir, please try to keep calm. We'll send somebody up there

immediately. "

EMS: " We'll get there bro, alright? I've got other calls to take, alright?
