FF Jeff O. joined the FDNY in 1997 after graduating from FDNY's Fire Academy. He was first assigned to Engine Company 10 in lower Manhattan adjacent to the WTC. Over the next 4 years he was then assigned to Engine 246 and Ladder 175, both in Brooklyn. In June 2001 he was re-assigned back to...
I agree on the model year -- late 80s, early 90s Ford F-150 pickup truck:

But we would have to nail down ownership. Next door neighbor's pickup truck is not good enough -- it has to have belonged to FF Jeff O., not the neighbor's.
And...
FDNY FF Jeff O.'s wife, Denise O. and blue truck parked in front of a tiny house in upstate New York. Date stamp 10.31. year not legible (presumably taken before 9/11/2001).
Sharp eye, Summer785!
The fence in lower left corner would be the only caveat that I can see (suggesting it could be the...
FDNY firefighter Dan Potter (whom UKmom's son may have referred to as "Pata" or "Patter") was a member of Ladder 5 in the Greenwich village district of Manhattan, NYC) from about 1994 to June 2001. He transferred from Ladder 5 to Ladder 31 in the south Bronx in early July 2001 before...
There were no FDNY Ten House firefighters or fire officers named "Louis" "Lou" (or "Luis" for that matter) in the 9/11 time frame, which means "Lou" must mean "Lieu" (short for Lieutenant) if UKmom's son's PP (past-life personality) were a member of either FDNY Engine Company 10 or Ladder...
Attached is a documentary of Tenhouse on 9/11. Dan and Jean Potter are interviewed for the documentary, as well as John M., one of the chauffeurs for Ladder 10, and a proby (probationary firefighter) named Jimmy Brown from Engine 10, who was most likely one of the last firefighters to evacuate...
Assuming "pata" refers to FDNY FF Dan Potter, who survived 9/11, was working a temporary assignment at the 10&10 firehouse ("Tenhouse") from late- August (early Sept?) 2001 - early Oct 2001), and had worked at the Engine 24 - Ladder 5 firehouse (with Ladder 5) for 7 years before that, here is a...
I'm posting this one especially for Baby rn in case she ever comes across this thread. The unidentified firefighter could easily have been her son's past-life personality or someone just like him.
The Unidentified Firefighter: July 28, 2020 interview of a young, articulate 9/11 Survivor who...
This is going to be a long post.
UK mom:
“From around the age 3 he began giving us names. He especially talked lots about Lou and even gave us a surname.”
“I had taken Lou to be a first name he was referring to but recently became aware that in America they have fire Lieutenants. Would...
I went through the entire list of fallen firefighters again looking for other potential "Mike"s (actually "Michael"s) that may have been baby rn's son's PP's firefighter friend named "Mike". I went through the bio's of all the Michaels listed of the 343 fallen firefighters. There was only one...
Baby rn:
"He also talks about his friend Mike who is also a firefighter. He told me he [her son] trains the new guys coming thru and his friend Mike is with the older guys."
"He has said his friend Mike has two or three kids but one is the biggest four-year-old boy he's ever seen."
"Do you know...
Rescue 1 -- Company of Heroes (2002 documentary 34 minutes):
Ok. Several reasons for watching this clip on this thread.
1) Gives a very good overall summary of a FDNY Rescue Company right before, during, and after 9/11. 2) Rescue 1's Captain Hatton, who died on 9/11 when the north tower...
(Call to central dispatch from the 83rd floor, South Tower shortly after United Flight 175 was smashed into the SE corner of the building, impacting floors 77-85; my god, what a tough job)
"Melissa Doi was trapped on the 83rd floor of the south tower and was on the phone for twenty four minutes...
Reviewing baby rn's posts once again I noticed something interesting in regards to her son's past-life personality's rank in the FDNY.
Here are the relevant posts:
Baby rn:
Tonight he told me he likes to drive thru red lights with the sirens on when he doesn't actually have to and then he...
Looking over UK mom's posts once again, I can definitely report that she is English or at least British (not American) --- she uses words like "whilst" (BrE) and spells program (AmE spelling) "programme" (BrE spelling); she writes things like "our" firemen (meaning UK firemen) and "fire...
UKmom posted this (post #16, page 1) regarding her 5-year-old son: "During role playing as well as names and giving his sisters orders he talked about putting his dogs in the back of the truck which I found a bit strange as we didn't own a dog (although we do now) and it was all very matter of...
Re-reading UK mom's posts I can't find anything linking her son's past-life personality to 9/11, except maybe that he was an American fireman who died before her son's birth in October 2001. That's it. Anybody: Where's the connection to 9/11?
Steve (Carol's husband and this forum's owner) has already said the following about the baby rn case:
"Carol is including this case in her current writing project; we call it "9/11 Baby". It is, in her opinion, the best American case--as good as the best of the Stevenson cases. The only...
This could be purely coincidental but Joe Gilbert and Eddie Brown were cast members in the 1957 Berkeley High School musical production of "Babes in Toyland" (based on the 1903 Victor Herbert operetta, not the movies which came later). Both were about 16 years old at the time and were already...
