Firsthand Accounts from 9/11: Volunteer Firefighters And Survivors Speak Out

We mark the 25th anniversary of September 11th with a special live broadcast from Doylestown Fire Company Station 19 in Bucks County. Dawn, Nick and Greg pay tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives taken on that fateful morning. We examine the enduring impact on local communities like Bucks County, which lost 18 residents, while bringing you live audio from President Trump speaking at the Pentagon. We hear gripping, raw accounts directly from those who were on the ground in Manhattan during and immediately after the attacks. Volunteer firefighter Jerry Caruso shares his experience heading toward Ground Zero, helping unload supply barges, and joining bucket brigades on the pile. Bank examiner Kenneth Bialmeyer details being trapped inside a subway tunnel beneath Lower Manhattan as the South Tower collapsed, describing the harrowing escape through smoke-filled streets and the eerie quiet that fell over New York City. Later, Doug Ferguson opens up about how his father survived the day inside Hamilton Square, only to battle lifelong trauma and survivor's guilt.
