At 10:28 AM, after standing for 102 minutes following the initial strike, the North Tower collapsed. The iconic skyline of New York was permanently altered, and the full weight of the tragedy settled over the nation. Amid the grief, darkness, and silence that followed, the days that came after also revealed extraordinary resilience, unity, and the enduring strength of communities coming together to support one another.

Middletown Fire Captain John Scranton had four family members who worked for the New York Fire Department on September 11, 2001. He recounts their experiences that day and reflects on the days, weeks, and months that followed.

For those too young to remember or born after 2001, how did you first learn about 9/11 from your family or teachers?

25 years later, we will honor all those lost during the September 11th Memorial Ceremony and 5K at Fire Station 83 starting at 8:46am tomorrow, September 12. All are invited to attend. https://cityofmiddletown.org/739/September-11-Memorial-5K
