"Numerous civilians in all stairwells, numerous burn victims are coming down. We're trying to send them down first ... We're still heading up."

- NYFD, Captain Patrick Brown

Thirty minutes later, the North tower collapsed with Captain Patrick Brown and his Ladder Co. 3 inside.

Ladder Co. 3 was in the middle of a shift change when the first plane hit the tower, so they piled into their single truck, sitting on each others’ laps, and rushed to the tower.

Twenty-four men went on that run. Half of them did not come back.

On September 11, 2001, 343 firefighters died, and all over New York City, you will see remembrances of their sacrifice.

Twenty years later, we remember the sorrow of that day but also the dedication, commitment and strength of those who responded to the tragic events.
