Thanks, but no. I posted it for those of you who don't quite get how big an event 9/11 was. Also, National Geographic does a very good job of relating the scale of the destruction . . . and pain . . that 9/11 was for so many, especially FDNY firefighters and their families. Other than...

UK mom: "Would someone in the fire service refer to themselves as LEU (with surname). . ." Here UK mom means -- Would someone refer to themselves as Lieu (informal, familiar direct address form of Lieutenant) + Surname. Answer: No. Or to anyone else, for that matter. "Lieu" isn't used with a...

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 Leutenants. Would someone in the fire service refer to...

Baby_rn: [Her 3-year-old son provided] "…very detailed [information] about firefighting and has stated he's not a firefighter he's fire rescue." So, baby rn's son was either a member of one of FDNY's elite Fire Rescue units or a former member, at the time of his death on Sept 11, 2001. In a...

This is a 25-minute National Geographic video highlighting FDNY firefighters response to the 9/11 terror attack at the WTC that morning. It's dubbed in German. I found and attached the original version in English, is right beneath it. : Original version in English:

He was an Irish-American. Baby_rn: "...the Irish firefighter badge he put on his training tower(part of his fire bed) and is obsessed right now with Saint Patrick’s day and being Irish..." "I am half Irish...But he said the other day he is so happy he is Irish...he decorated...

Baby_rn: " ...my son was talking about different guns the other night and who uses them and types of "ammo" and snipers ...we asked a friend who's on swat and he said he's right... " This suggests baby_rn's son's past-life personality may have had a military or police background in addition to...

Baby_rn: "He told me that I would really enjoy the Christmas parties at his fire station...everyone always has lots of fun...he said they got a new fire truck because their old one is wrecked...he has said this several times about a new fire truck with a TV in it and maps and a boat on top."...

Baby_rn: "Do you know anything about where the fire stations are located in NYC? He gave me directions from his station to Mike's...coming from a three-year-old it could be just a bunch of lefts and rights but who knows?" Directions from FDNY Ladder 3 in Manhattan to FDNY Rescue 1 also in...

Baby_rn stated that her son, barely 3, would take out his toy ax and pretend to chop down the walls in their house (post 1, page 1): He would take his play axe and pretend to chop down the walls etc because there was fire behind them. After a fire has been extinguished one or more...

Ten house lost 5 active firefighters and 1 retired Lt who was working as a Fire Safety Officer in the South Tower (2 WTC) when it collapsed. Of the five active FFs there were 2 officers and 3 firefighters who were lost -- 1 from Ladder 10 and 3 from Engine 10 (1 officer and 2 FFs). Probably...

On the other hand Dan Potter, although permanently assigned to Ladder 31 in the South Bronx, had recently volunteered for a 30-day temporary assignment with Ladder 10 at the "10&10" (10-house/ Engine 10/Ladder 10) on Liberty St. right across the street from the WTC complex and a half a block...

Before we go on I just wanted to pause and remember the firefighters of FDNY Rescue who lost their lives on 9/11. These were men who loved life, loved what they did, and had dreams for the future -- a future that they would never see in this life: (btw, that's Charlene Soraia's 2011 cover of...

Summer785 - Connection between UK_mom's son's past-life personality and Dan Potter, John Morabito, or Ladder 10? Only one firefighter from Ladder 10 was killed on 9/11 but the connection would be pretty flimsy without further information.

Summer785 - Maybe. Dan Potter may have been a fellow firefighter with whom UK_mom's son's past-life personality worked. Problem is we don't have a name or rank or company or firehouse or anything that we could use to connect him to Dan. To complicate matters Dan worked as member of several...

Baby rn stated that her 3-year-old son described how firefighters push into a fire by moving forward along the hose line towards the blazing blast furnace heat of a really bad fire to relieve a guy in front either holding the nozzle (the "nozzleman") or the guy right behind him (assuming he...

Here is an account from the Marriott's director of food and beverage operations describing what happened in the Marriott World Trade Center hotel the morning of 9/11 after the jet airliners hit the 110-story twin towers. The 22-story Marriott lay between and adjacent to the two towers. The...

Cases of Interest 9/11 Case II – baby rn post 11 "He said people were falling from a building because they wouldn't wait...he was on the floor with his breathing mask on and tried to get out a window but it was too small so he used his ax to break a hole so he could get the people out. To...

Watch this 1991 video clip of FDNY Rescue 1, paying special attention to the importance of families in the mind of a firefighter going into a blazing fire with people trapped inside ("we got families, but they got families too"): Here is baby_rn's son's commentary on the "bad men" who knocked...

I thought the following a curiosity. Baby_rn uses the term "fire station" exclusively whenever she paraphrases her son, but when she quotes him, she has him say "firehouse". "Firehouse" is what the FDNY call a fire station. I'm not sure if all big city fire departments call their fire stations...
