There is very little clear footage of flight 11 flying over manhattan and striking the north tower. Practically none exists in fact.
But we have Jules Naudet’s footage, that not only captures this rare event, but actually follows firemen into those very towers that ultimately became perhaps the most famous unintended film and documentary ever created.
Jules is tagging along with batallion chief Joseph pfeifer as they respond to a mundane gas leak call at church and lispenard.
The firsr couple minutes is pretty boring, regular Tuesday morning work. Beautiful sunny day, twin towers in the background.
Until 1 min 45 sec into the footage can you can an unusually low jetliner flying directly over manhattan. Everyone looks up in confusion, and what they see next changed America forever.

These are some of the final recorded FDNY radio communications from inside the South Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
In the final minutes before the tower collapsed, firefighters were still climbing toward the impact zone, searching for survivors and calling for more men to come up.
Battalion Chief Orio Palmer had reached the 78th floor. Lt. Joseph Leavey of Ladder 15 was climbing toward him. With barely two minutes remaining, Palmer called Battalion 9 Chief Edward Geraghty and told him they had access to the floors above.
Geraghty's response: “All right, I'm on my way up, Orio.”
Seconds later, a Ladder 15 firefighter radioed that he was trapped in an elevator shaft: “We're chopping through the wall to get out.”
The radio signal disappeared shortly afterward. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m.
Orio Palmer, Joseph Leavey and Edward Geraghty were killed that morning. They were still going up while others were trying to get out.
Note: Some images used in this clip are unverified. For the sake of accuracy, I have not attempted to identify those individuals.

25 years later. 343 heroes. One promise.
We will #NeverForget.

On September 11, 2001, FDNY members from Ladder Company 6 were helping Josephine Harris down Stairwell B in the North Tower when the building collapsed around them. Trapped beneath the rubble for hours, Josephine, six firefighters and a Port Authority police officer survived.
What began as a rescue that day became a lifelong bond. Josephine remained close with the members of Ladder 6 until she died in 2011. The same firefighters carried her one last time as pallbearers at her funeral.
On Tuesday, Josephine's family returned the green firehouse jacket she was given from Ladder 6 members following 9/11. Four of the six members who helped rescue Josephine 25 years ago were there to accept the jacket.
Now, it will remain as a permanent reminder of a life saved, a bond shared, and the promise to Never Forget.

A look back at the sights and sounds from the 265th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. FDNY members proudly marched up Fifth Avenue, joined by the FDNY Pipes and Drums, as thousands gathered to celebrate Irish culture and community.
Thank you to all who came out in support, and to the members who stayed on duty, ensuring the safety of the public.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of William E. Patterson, Jr., Dispatcher #31. When Bill finally hung up his headset in 2018, he had accrued more than 46 years of service to the residents and first responders of Montgomery County. Rest easy, Dispatcher #31.
