343 FDNY One fireman stopped to take a breath, and we looked each other in the eye," said Louis G. Lesce, who was on his way down from the 86th floor of 1 World Trade Center, the first tower hit. "He was going to a place where I was damn well trying to get out of. I looked at him thinking, 'What are you doing this for?' He looked at me like he knew very well. 'This is my job.'" Music: "Backdraft", from the film score by Hans Zimmer.

May 11, 2008 - I think in years to come if and when the whole truth of this event comes to life it will be looked upon as the worst scar in U.S history. Shame that some of the real heroes that day(and that is not Guiliani or Bush)cannot even get healthcare for the lung problems that many have devoloped in the years since. No we cannot forget those who died or those who tried to help and are suffering the consequences of breathing those poisonous fumes. We must also strive to get the truth revealed to all!

May 12, 2008 - I remember a day or two after the attack, I noticed very strong odor in the air. I thought our nieghbor had sprayed "Weed killer" on their property, but then I drove to work and I could smell the same odor 10 miles away.. It was actually coming from ground zero, there was a strong wind that day coming from the south, at the time I lived just 25-30 miles north of the world trade ctr. As ground zero smoldered, the wind carried the smell to my back yard..I just shook my head in grief.
