- Опубліковано 9 січ 2021
- Tim Brown is a retired, decorated 20-year FDNY firefighter, a survivor of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, a first responder to the 1993 attack on the WTC and a veteran of the New York Urban Search & Rescue Task Force team that responded to the 1995 attack on the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. Tim lost 93 of his friends on Sept. 11th, including his two best friends. When Tim shared his experiences on the ground during the 9/11 attacks on the WTC… you stop breathing because It really makes you understand the real human experience of that day and the effect it still has on survivors like Tim almost 20 years later.

There is a whole generation of us that when we turned on the tv that morning our childhoods ended and we learned of war and violence with our own eyes. And we will never forget
Unfortunately some of these people are still watching the tv.
@@robertely686 u probably have your TV turned on right now
Absolutely, I'll never forget that day in fifth grade getting a tv wheeled into the room by my crying teacher, in TEXAS and learning what war was.
@@raineyj560 I stopped watching tv and reading newspapers 10 years ago.
Occasionally I check out news on the tv or newspapers but I don't really have to as most people just repeat what they've heard on the tv every day.
The largest echo chamber in the world comes from TV and newspaper users.
@@freschcookable Wow. You poor American children.
Who did you think really learns about war?
The children watching tv in Texas or the children being bombed in Fallujah, Guatemala, Nicaragua or Syria?
The biggest snowflakes turn out to be the warmongers.
I'm here in September, 2023. I lost a dear friend to 9/11 cancer just last month. Mary Gillespie was an RN who responded to the emergency and spent time at Ground Zero selflessly trying to help others. God bless all who gave their lives caring for their fellow man. God bless you, Dear Mary. RIP
So very sorry for your loss.
@@donnamarsh3474 Oh how nice. Thank you so much.
I've always said the number of lives lost that day exceeded way past the 3000+ that were killed on impact and in the subsequence collapse of the buildings. There's no telling how many thousands more have suffered and died from cancers due to all the toxins they breathe in that day.
I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. She was unselfish.
I lost my friend too - 9/11 related breast cancer - she worked for a construction company post 9/11. She died in 2018. 17 yrs later💔
Chris Blackwell, great great man! Worked with him at Sloper Willen EMS, losing him broke a lot. LOVE the fact his son now has his badge, and locker at rescue 3!!
This comment should be pinned. That is an incredible update!
Amazing
I too think this comment should be pinned.
Same as a FF Paul Tegtmeir’s Son. He was a little one, all saw him at his father’s funeral with his helmet on.
The way he described the love he had for his friends is truly remarkable. It’s amazing to see such a brutish, badass, cowboy-esque man remark how he truly loved and showed this love with his brothers amongst the firefighters. It’s always amazing to see such hardass men show their affection and appreciation for each other. I know he still thinks about them and lives with them in his heart. I truly believe that him remembering them and still loving his friends, that their hearts beat within his.
I don’t think they knew the building would collapse
All fire fighters are brothers
Sooner or later there won’t be anyone left to tell their eye witness story. We should be thankful we get to know these people in our lifetimes.
What are you 12???
@@patrickcrady904 Lol, shes right. what are you, 10? grow up...
Save the turtles 🐢
I mean we still got like 30 to 40 years
@@cstevens16a lot of them are dropping like flies thanks to the toxic clouds.
I appreciate the fact that this man is not only telling this story that is heartbreaking and a hell he will never forget but also the fact that his is mentioning every hero’s name he can I would like to thank this man and every other man and women that was there
We will never forget their service 🙏💞
This guy is definitely not shy about showing his love for other men. The attack on 9/11 showed this man and alot of others how to love.😀😀😀
AMEN.MAY GOD BLESS ALL MAY WE STAND DTRONG TOGETHER IN FAITH WWG1WGA PRAYERSNLUV 👼👼✝️✝️
AMEN
We will not also forget that these people helped and that they'll always be helpful even the people that died they'll be honored
Can we take a minute to appreciate how immaculately he told his story? Articulated, well thought out, and detailed in every way. He told you his thoughts, he explained the sights instead of just told them. I really appreciate that from him.
❤very good teller story, 🎉❤❤❤❤
xD
Studied his SCRIPT!
@@kidwave1he has his story and it's his gutwrenching truth
@@bobbyr2972 his "gutwrenching truth" is despicable lies
I love when the interviewers ask very few questions and just stay quiet and let the guest tell his/her story without interruption. Professional, respectful and clean! Very well done! 👍
The silence is due to this interviewer is a complete moron
Shawn Ryan also interviews like that. It’s respectful and it allows the guest to truly get into details.
He many not have interrupted, but to me he is not an active listener because even thought Tim was extremely detailed in his narrative, the interviewer would ask really basic/stupid question for clarification. Even though Tim was very clear with all of his descriptions. Younger generation(s) needs to LISTEN harder, this is not the only time I've witnessed this even IRL.
@@TheNavarro6767 I agree. With all due respect, I don't like him. Basic and unnecessary questions all throughout
Definitely. You miss a lot when you keep interrupting to ask questions ❣️
Look at this man's eyes... He's not just telling us his story, he's seeing it all, again. Thank you, Tim Brown.
LIAR!
This is the most impactful heart-wrenching interview of all I’ve seen since 9/11, and should certainly be on prime time TV.

Yea im so glad i found this. I want him to be my uncle.
ua-cam.com/video/D3jTJ0YhBes/v-deo.html i reccomend you watch this. Truly the most shocking accounts within the tower I’ve ever heard.
Truly
All respect. My husband is retired FDNY ( Bronx) and was there on 9/11 too.
I live in the UK and I have listened to a lot of interviews in my lifetime, however this has to be the most heart wrenching story I have ever heard. I have tried but words fail me, all I can say is that I hope those including Tim can find some peace in their lives and those that were murdered. May god rest their souls and grant them eternal rest.💔🙏🙏
I feel terrible for those who lost there life’s and there families but my heart bleeds for the survivors, like you I hope they found joy again I hope they are able to live there lives despite these life changing memories
Amen 🙏❤
--such clear minded recall
---both a blessing and a horror
The only time I heard heard such a heavy silence in Liverpool was after Hillsborough.
Stunned disbelief that that could ever happen.
When you hear his voice cracking, remember he's not only telling the story, but living it all over again.
I was thinking that he's reliving it, yes, but suffering from a very profound Survivors Guilt
Ptsd is no joke
@@matthewcohen7488 I lost my fiancé in a house fire in 2013 I was able to find her children tell them to run across the road, and run back in after her. You don’t think you just go after you get in the smoke blinds you and after a few more steps it chokes you 2 rooms in I couldn’t breathe so I ran to a wall where I knew a window was I beat until I heard glass break I came too on the ground a minute later. IN my head I thought I could get a breath and go back to her but my instincts put me through the window, too this very second I don’t think I deserve to live. I should have died with her or got her out. I never got too meet my baby she was 7 months pregnant. Everytime I tell the story I go back I see everything I feel everything all over again. Survivors guilt is the most painful thing I’ve dealt with and I’ve lost all my grandparents both my parents and had a rough life, nothing compares to not feeling like you deserve to live. Feeling like a coward like you could have tried harder.
@Robert Witcher stay strong brother.
Good job on the new intro sound. That death metal intro was annoying. Lol
I just called my dad in the middle of this and cried. He was in the coast guard in NY and called to duty that day. I just told him how proud I am to be his son. And thanked him for everything he has done for me. We both just started crying. There was so many people who lost people that day. I can't imagine the pain.
You are a good son. Your dad must be very proud.👍
❤️🙏
The world is a better place with people like you in it thanks for sharing a private moment with your dad it emotions like this that makes us human i feel you take care and stay safe
Please there are so many of us that feel the same. God bless all hero’s that gave everything.
It is a blessing that you had this moment with your dad. I’m so proud of you for taking the initiative to honor your dad while he still here on earth. Your dad & mom did a wonderful job raising you. Blessings your way🙏 @Richard Sec
It’s crazy hearing ab Chris Blackwell, he worked as a paramedic in my small town in CT- and I know his family. Yet to hear his name out of the lips of a complete stranger is heartwarming and heart breaking at the same time
Completely overwhelmed at how he recalls this murderous horrific event. Every American should listen to this and thank God for these hero’s. God Bless our hero’s!
I decided to throw this podcast on while I went for a quick jog and it wasn’t until it was over I realized I had been out for almost two hours…His story was so captivating I didn’t even check the time. I am a fellow Firefighter here in Baltimore, thank you for your sacrifice brothers.
Sadly I hear health problems are common amongst those who inhaled the dust
Thank you to you and all those who put their own lives into path of harms way on daily basis
Thank you sir for everything you do.
thank you. I come from a family of volunteers who trained in Baltimore, where they couldn’t believe they did it for free!!
Thanks for your service sir
This guy had my undivided attention for the whole time he spoke....respect respect ✊
Totally.
Absolutely correct
FUCKIN AYYY MAN
Same!
You know it! 🇺🇸 ✊
This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard. What an amazing man. The capacity for love after so much tragedy. Unbelievable
Thank you, Timmy, for your heroism. I held my infant son in my arms that morning and watched everything unfold. I had worked in both towers in my 20's so it was personal to me. Now my beautiful baby is 22 and he's about to commission into the USAF as an officer and pilot. Hearing Tim talk about the widows...I wasn't a widow but I raised my son as a single mom and I'm grateful that these mothers have had that community of first responders to offer support.
finally an interviewer who lets his guest speak !
Yooo I know right! I can’t stand when people cut off or interrupt the person their interviewing.
Thats all he does when Matt Cox is on... this channel is so hit and miss
@@ProfessorVanessa lol right? Danny and this other guy get annoying and they actually seem to enjoy knowing that interrupting pisses us off because they do it even more.
But I think this one was different because Danny might have more respect towards 9/11 as most people do.
Don't forget building 7 and the ppl who were permanently silenced for telling what they saw and heard!
I was going to say the same thing.
My uncle was a first responding fire fighter for 9/11 he passed from the aggressive rare lung cancer. The thing with this cancer is that it’s not like a mass or lump. It’s a cancerous fluid your body just produces there is no way of stopping it chemo does not stop it. It’s so sad and gut wrenching to watch!! God bless this man and all of his surviving and fallen brothers!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
I'm sorry for your loss, it's unfortunate that people are still dying as a result of what happened that dark day. They too are victims.
Excess fluids in lungs combined with ongoing extreme pain is a hideous way for anyone to live, let alone first responders who volunteer their lives to help others.
Sorry for his painful death, loss of his life and condolences to you
Condolences to your family. As a fellow NY'er who lost a relative in tower 2, I greatly appreciate your uncle's bravery and sacrifice. I hope your aunt is doing well.❤
I’m sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss. I could not believe as firefighters were on the scene of 911 looking for survivors after the Towers collapsed that no one had air masks on??? This I thought was crazy. I think of so many people may never had lung cancer if masks were used.
I'm a firefighter in pittsburgh PA. Right around Nov of 1999, I did I ride along at E88 in the South Bronx. First, due to the Bronx zoo... it's a painting on the side of the rig. It was one of the most memorable shifts of my life. It always amazed me how fireman are pretty much the same across the country. God bless you and your friends, and thank you for presenting this story.
Thank you sir for serving our community
Hey fellow PGH’er. Thank you for your service❤
There was more heartbreak,suspense,horror and intensity in this man's eyes as he told his story and gave his testimony on what he witnessed on 911 than I've read about,seen or heard from any movie documentary or other story I've read or seen on this tragedy.
@Steve Robinson get lost pal. Nobody's interested in your antagonistic nonsense here
Wow...incredible man...
I appreciate this non-dramatized, really respectful and well-executed interview from a 9/11 hero and survivor. Thank you.
People are freaking because a beecraft plane hit a tower. Right
You think anyone could dramatize this story?! It’s already horrific. Wow.
What's up my fellow ginger
Fantastic
@@allyson7514 It gets needlessly dramatized every time you talk about "jumpers".
As a New Yorker that remembers that day, THANK YOU. A million times over, THANK YOU. What a true American hero!
This guy is an angel. He raises children that are not even his own, in addition to saving lives. I salute you, sir.
i am so glad i am seeing this interview and there’s so many reasons why. every person this man encountered, he tells their story and how much of a hero they were. he’s letting us in on a perspective that very few can tell. the articulation and honor he gives all the men he worked with on that day speaks volumes on his character.
I’m glad he has his health today.
Amen 🙏
He's one of the few to be whole.
God bless this man.
Well considering they've discovered 160 cancers in people cleaning up ground 0
I have read and watched an almost inappropriate amount on September 11th. This is quite possibly one of the best, most heartfelt interviews I’ve ever seen. This is the first time I think I’ve ever cried. God bless this hero. This is the perfect example of a true man and a true hero.
Really now? Because I can recommend some books that might just change your perspective--in fact one in particular that might even make you shit your pants. (Assuming you can find them--the BOOKS, not the pants!) I imagine "THEY" have agents or people scouring book stores both new and used looking for a couple of titles. But it's OK, because maybe eventually you'll be able to read them online? (You know--just to make it easier on "THEM" to keep track of what you're doing, and/or WHO is putting WHAT ideas into your head?? That's all, nothing to worry about😂😂)
I’m right there with you. His story was riveting! I couldn’t tear myself away. Heart wrenching! So much respect for that man!
Kind of like UA-cam pulling my last comment^^^....No reason for any "crackpot" paranoia right??😂😂
But I will agree with you--this WAS a compelling and heartfelt interview to watch on UA-cam....It was so good I almost sank into the "throne" watching it, and I mean that as a SINCERE COMPLIMENT, not as some vulgar insult. But I disagree with Tim on one thing: There are too many hinky anomalies regarding THE WHOLE EVENT....NOT just what happened in New York!!!
Jebedish Newkedkracker Where you there and saw something he missed or? I don't understand how people can be so narcissistic and high up their own ass that they think they know better than a witness, victim and fireman who was there. So disrespectful to say that you disagree with something someone actually experienced this horrific day.
I know it's been two years since you did this podcast... but... I want to first thank Tim for his service. Second, I want to thank him for his insight in how he dealt with everything. Obviously completely different circumstances... but for most, I would think, that have heard your story and listened to your insight, you have helped so many everyday folks that I want to say Thank You again. you're a man to be looked up to my brother. Personally, Thank You! And thank you to the folks at Koncrete... found this because I started following you previously.
I’m about 2 years late here, but I wanted to thank you for this great interview! I just bought the book Tim spoke about there at the end. There really are no words to adequately sum up my gratitude and respect for all those men who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11. I know I will never forget.
Thank you so much to Tim for all he did/does and for taking the time to share his 9/11 story. To all firefighters, police officers and first responders, thank you for all you do everyday. It’s a dark world we are living in now but all of you bring the light to us all.
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
As the wife of a Firefighter, thank you and all of the others who survived. I include widows, children, and family members of the victims. God has a purpose for each of you! However, those who died that day and since due to 9/11, will always hold a special place in my heart. Our firefighter family lost so much that day. They will be forever my heroes ❤

We have all heard about how the brave hero Orio Palmer made it to the 72nd floor of the South Tower, but this is the first time I've heard of firefighters (Rescue 1) reaching the 80th floor of the North Tower. Stunning.
Palmer made it to the impact zone that was floor 80 something
@@aboriginalmuur1661 yes he made it all the way to the impact site but moments later the south tower collapsed, he is a hero and a example of true heroism. All of them were heroes that lost their lives trying to save total strangers.
I think they have a documentary on rescue 1 on how they lost their guys that day.
Yeah, one of the victims Melissa Doi, who was trapped on the 83rd floor heard them while she was on the phone with a 911 operator. Unfortunately the tower fell a few seconds after.
It was a big story on how rescue 1 reached the 83rd floor. I cant believe that was your first time hearing about it no offense.
I am deeply touched by all the accounts of this tragedy, but this one has to be the most poignant, generous, evocative, descriptive, profound, technical, beautifully narrated testimony of what happened that day and how so many lives were taken ("murdered", as Tim Brown says). What a way to honour these lives taken, they live through your voice, your emotion, your recollection, your spirit, and the way you share these riches with us all. Thank you so much.
I LOVE this guy and may God Bless him all of his days! I catch myself holding my breath each time I have watched this pod cast...in TOTAL AWE of this guys bravery, loyalty, patriotism, integrity, friendship, brotherhood...I think I would probably explode if I ever met this guy in person! Wow. This guy's heart is so big it is a true wonder that his body is big enough to contain it! This guy is a true GEM and his friends and family are VERY blessed people to have him in their lives! What an amazing human being! May God Bless you Mr. Tim Brown all of your days. ❤
If there's ever a story that should inspire you to do something with your life it's this one, firefighters knowing they're about to die so they can save others just shows the capability of humans in so many ways.
Firemen are the True Heroes !! God Bless them all !!
@@lolasaint7370 let me have your WhatsApp number
"Firefighters knowing they're about to die, just so they can save others...." Yes, that does sound noble and heroic, but you may want to use some of that "noble rhetoric" for at least SOME of the "ignoble" conspiracy theorists who have been warning the world of hinkey activity for quite a long time now, so that PERHAPS noble firefighters and not-so-noble non firefighters don't HAVE to die unnecessarily??? But who knows--- if there is "A" Conspiracy to change the world, maybe it's for the better?? "Can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs" is the saying that covers the latter idea. If there are NO conspiracies, then I suppose there is more --MUCH MORE, abject IDIOCY involved in world affairs than I was led to believe as a child and young adult. But I suspect the former.
He is very well spoken. I could listen to him for hours. Thank you for your service!

I just want to thank Tim for his service and send my condolences for the loss of so many of his friends. Wish we could all give him a hug.
Tim Brown is a very impressive guy; the type of person you would want next to you in an emergency. His story not only describes the physical tragedy (planes hitting skyscrapers, skyscrapers collapsing), but the human tragedy too. Most of us only know the figure 343. But within that number, they were real people, with lives, bravery, personality, love and humour.
Probably the most real and emotional version of this day iv ever heard. The man had my attention the whole time
I love how he remembers every little detail of each one of his coworkers. I really hope he gets to live a good rest of his life, because he deserves happiness and calmness. A real hero for sure x
Chris died a hero, what a brave man with what sounded like the kindest heart any man could have.
This is the most engaging and harrowing interview I’ve ever heard regarding 9/11. This hero covers everything and in a really calm (although visibly emotional) collected manner.
I am muslim and you are a true hero. Rest in peace to all those who lost their lives on 9/11 and may god have no mercy on the radical pigs that hide under a world religion.

@@puppetmaster1758 who did
@@dunker888 corrupt, evil extremists did this. There are extremists in every religion, every country, every political position… etc. doesn’t mean everyone who aligns with these particular groups are extremists. It just means there’s evil lurking around every corner. Not getting into “conspiracy theories” but I will say, there’s an insane amount of evidence pointing to our own elites taking part into this horrific event. But who really knows the truth..

@@southernladyish understood 🤝
@@southernladyish yeah I remember when that antifa guy executed a trump supporter in the street then went on a media speaking tour. CNN, msnbc, cbs.
Such a well spoken, self aware, respectful man. Loved every second of this podcast. He's a true representation of the hundreds of 9/11 heroes that (both in service and civilian) that selflessly helped that day
Unbelievable how this man has been through so much, helped so many, and is still offering words of advice on dealing with traumatic events or tough life events in general.
God bless him and everyone he's spoken on during this time. Thank you for bringing him to light!
You know, I truly believe that before we come into a life, our souls know how long that life will be. This man knew it wasn’t the end for him, but so many of his friends…their souls knew. And they went in anyway.
I have always believed this also.
Same. There are things you almost remember, not just believe.
I just want to say to all the firefighters who responded and also in particular to Tim Brown - You are brave, compassionate, tenacious and honourable people who will always be in my best thoughts and wishes for your future, happiness, health and peace! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have done and still do to this day - whether you are still on duty or retired - you all deserve to have your dreams and wishes come true!
I wonder how much therapy this man has had to go through to be able to recount this. I met a 9/11 police officer in a rehab once and it gave me a new empathy towards those men and women.
The pain is real. So is the tyranny
Not enough
But Why they Saved only his live with this Medizin? There Must be enough for the Military.the Rest can die , the governmentneed heros
He’ll likely need life long therapy.
I was watching this .. i used it for therapy as well.. there's a weird virus going around where because they are men, the men find it impossible to relax , or admit being wrong.. admitting to be wrong is like "feeling low-er than other men" perhaps.. when you admit to being wrong it can help heal others .. but we are told we have to be a certified doctor or virologist to do that...
Respect for talking about the office workers helping because you don't hear much about the people who worked there that lost life to help. God bless you and everyone who not only passed from the attack but the people who are scarred from this as well
Words will never give a true appreciation of all the respect I have for the firefighters who were there, who gave their lives, and for the others who bravely risked it. Long live the survivors and hats off to you all. Your courage and class are on a different level
As a brazilian, hearing Tim Brown's story catched me so deeply and right at the end, he spoke so fondly about us. Thank you for your service, sir.
At the end? During the whole interview he mentioned the whole continent, America this, America that...
This man is an angel. The amount of pain he suffered to both save and make his friends comfortable as they pass is beyond amazing.
Thanks Xi Jinping!
For that, Taiwan & Hong Kong are part of China
Go eat a plate of noodles Xi

No greater love hath a man,that lays down his own life for his fellow man. . Thank you for telling your account off that tragic day Mr Brown❤🙏.

❤💙 ❤🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Thank you God bless.
check out '9/11: the Firemen's story' that, and several other docs about 9/11 are on UK TV every year, so the US must be showing them too.
You're so well mannered and spoken.. God bless you 💜
I have it on DVD it's called '9/11 The Filmmakers' Commemorative DVD Edition' A film by Jules & Gedeon Naudet and James Hanlon.
911 was the d day of the 21st century. The first responders at the twin towers were the equivalent of the heroes who stormed omaha beach its that simple...
Well done tim. Anyone who has even taken the oath deserves so much respect
Humanity at it's worst brought out the very best in humanity. The truth is there just aren't words good enough to even attempt to describe the greatness of this man and the men and women like him.
Tim Brown,FDNY -A drop forged alloy of heroism,eloquence,duty,character, and love for humanity. Thank you for your heroic service and all first responders and civilians who perished on 9.11.2001 We will Never forget your bravery and sacrifice.🇺🇲❤️🙏
Appreciate Tims recollection of this awful day that took my Loving husbands Uncle from our earth. I think all firefighters are heroes no matter working in the Bronx or Manhatten.... I hope Tim was saying otherwise in jest. RIP. We will NEVER forget!! 🇺🇸♥️💙🇺🇸
For those curious about the ww2 story. A b25 bomber was flying to a air base on the east side of NYC in thick flog. The pilot lost his way and crashed into the empire state building. 14 people were killed.
One of the best and most touching interviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you Tim Brown! I’m sure your friends are all proud of you 🕊️
What a wonderful man. I’m so happy he lived through this.
This was an absolutely remarkable podcast/interview with Tim Brown. Almost 20 years on, I'm still constantly looking for new books, interviews, articles, etc surrounding 9/11 to better educate myself on that whole day and what anyone directly or indirectly dealt with beyond that day. Tim Brown is a huge testament to someone witnessing one of the worst attacks on American soil, losing so many friends and family but found the strength and the will to push on and continue to do a whole lot of good. It may be really freakin hard but if you stay with it & commit to whatever recovery looks like for you, you can get out on the other side and see the sun shine again and feel happy again.
One of the biggest things I want to do is visit the 9/11 memorial in NYC, the Pentagon and in Schwenksville, PA and pay my respects, in person, to all of the beautiful souls we lost that day.
There were so many takeaways from this interview, but I'm going to keep it simple and say for me, the biggest takeaway was "Never Give Up & Never Forget". Thank you for a shining a light on this story!
I finally visited the 9/11 memorial in 2019; everyone should definitely go if there is an opportunity to do so. It’s an incredibly well done memorial, but I wasn’t prepared for the amount of emotion that it brought out in me. Experiencing those hallowed grounds gave me a perspective that I’ll never forget as long as I live.
I visited the one in NYC, fully prepared for a poignant experience after years of obsessing over 9/11 but the number of lackadaisical tourists and the noise from all the chatter ruined it for me. Perhaps the other 2 memorials may offer better environments.
If you really want to educate yourself about 9/11 you have to watch "September 11 - The new Pearl Harbour". I am not posting a link because... let's say that although the film is free for distribution, youtube sooner or later tends to find a reason to close (or perhaps just severe the links to) the channel that dares to post this video
Look up Ryan Dawson
You are beautiful
I am in awe. What amazing and extraordinary human beings - Tim Brown and his brothers. Heroes, all of them. I was in New York on 9/11 - there are no words.
It's impressive to hear him tell the story about 9-11. RIP to all who lost their lives
I was there. In a meeting and watched the planes hit the towers. So many of us were forced out of our buildings especially ours we were the next tallest financial building attached to a mall. We walked the streets for hours not knowing how we were going to get home. I took the trains to get to work. All roads were closed. Once the towers came down well it was as if it was nighttime. For me personally taking the trains afterwards having to see empty trains and the smell in the underground train tunnels was horrible. A day I will never forget.
And you we're one of the lucky one's.
@@MrOx85 There was also constant bomb threats for monthss for those around the empire state building. So, you get lucky and aren't in the towers but you're haunted by that day and then have to live in fear for a long time. Just awful.
15:16 15:25 hands down one of the most touching and moving eulogies of a fallen comrade that I've ever heard. We should all try to live a life where others which speak so kindly of us at our passing.
What a great interview. Thank you Tim Brown for sharing what happened to you that day and for all that you did and continue to do. I hope you've found some peace with everyone you lost and continue to lose from 9/11 illnesses. Keep yourself healthy as possible and safe. 🤍
What an amazing story teller and man. The entire time he was speaking, I felt like I was right there with him. I was 21 on 9/11, in south jersey working in construction on an addition we were building. after hearing on the radio the north tower was hit, we asked the homeowner to turn the news on and a min after she turned it on, we watched the second plane hit. I’ll never forget that moment, that day, the following days and weeks. How our country was united and proud(something we desperately need today) but even with such a vivid memory of that day, this man made me forget all that, and transplanted me to ground zero to relive his nightmare. That’s what a story teller can do, and this man is treasure, and I’m grateful he lived to tell his story and I’m sorry for all the pain he’s endured over the last 20 years
This happened on my 21st birthday and I was at work listening to it on the radio. The rest of the day was a blur with the shock.
@@tinkletink1403 yeah as did every normal human, especially the people that were there. My best friends dad worked there and had to walk 50 blocks to get away from ground zero. I’m pretty sure I believe a man that was there when it happened, as well as what I saw on the news that day. Let me guess they staged all the jet fuel and plane parts that were at the sight?
If everyone calls him Timmy all the time he must truly be a lovable guy 💛
There’s one moment in this podcast that really stood out to me. It was when he heard the deceased firefighter’s PASS systems chirping en mass. I was a volunteer firefighter and we always used to joke about having to jump around a bit to keep our PASS systems going off. Hearing hundreds of them going off at once knowing full well that each one is a downed fire fighter, is one of the most haunting sounds I could imagine.
This is the most eloquent recounting of a first responders lived experience on 9/11. Thank you Tim Brown and Konkrete and Tim you are loved as are all the heroes who we lost that day- I appreciate your sacrifices that day all of you are still and always we will remember!
Holy fuck. This is the type of podcasts you need to be doing more of. Well fucking done
F ing good lol

I don't know how this man got through this with such poise and without breaking down. Its gut wrenching yet inspiring to hear him speak about all the men who fought so hard to save lives!
God bless you mr,I’m sorry you had to experience that kind thing,you’re such an amazing human being for being able to talk about it and let people know what you were going through because I truly believe that this situation should never be allowed to be forgotten,you put people at ease knowing that they had each other in a situation so horrible,we can’t forget that day ever ❤
This is so important. Love when he said what helped was to compartmentalize your grief. That is really good advice.
I love the outcome of Tim opening himself up to new friendships. That sounds like the healing is amazing just from that. It almost seems like the friends that he lost were sending him light, and a reason to keep moving at every turn.

he's excellent at what he does, tell him I referred you to him. His passionate strategies are top notch.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💠💠
I'll never forget how scared I was watching this unfold that day at school. When I got home, my mother was in tears. My dad, a local fire chief, was gathering a crew together and they were going to drive up from Florida to help. He stayed at his department until Saturday morning when the fire commission shot it down due to the influx of help from around the country. Much respect to this man, and everyone who became heros that day
Great interview. This man and the other Firefighters who survived and those who died are amazing... Thank for telling your story. I'm from the UK so its so important to hear about these people and the contribution they are still making today to help others ❤
Thank you Tim Brown, thank you for being so articulate in your recalling of such a horrific time in your life, sharing your thoughts is very important to all. I am so very sorry for your losses.
This podcast is so riveting - I've been on the edge of my seat during his harrowing experience and I'm so impressed that he can speak about his experiences so eloquently and raw. Tremendous. Just TREMENDOUS!
I was an infant on 9/11 living in a high rise just outside of D.C. I was my father's first born and he was only in his 20s at the time. He says he remembers just standing on our balcony hugging me to his chest as tight as he could and watching the smoke rising from the pentagon in the distance. He still tears up talking about it, not that he was seriously involved in anyway but just the sheer terror he felt watching this happen
I've heard this story before but It was an HONOR 2 listen to it again ‼️Every 5 th grade class NEEDS to watch THIS STORY ‼️‼️‼️ LOVE THIS MAN ‼️ R. I. P to all the heroes that day ‼️ And to my brother Thomas .... I miss & love you more then you could have ever imagined 💔♥️😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing all of this Tim. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family as well as all of those lost that day and the ones they left behind.
This is a hard listen. No matter what you believe happened that day, good men & women lost their lives. Such unnecessary violence, and needless horror that we will never truly recover from.

Murder most foul.
@@thorawilson1466 No not "most" foul......
"MOST MOST fowl"😠😠😠
Tim you are an angel!! You have angel wings that everyone can see already! Your story moved me to tears. Your an incredible man with a heart wrenching story to share and provide that oral history of what happened the day the towers were hit. God bless you now and always.
WOW this podcast put me through all the emotions along with him!! His perspective of the day of and the road to recovery is quite something. You never really hear of this sort of detail and I'm glad I did. Thank you for your service, Tim Brown. God bless.❤️❤️
What a man! Thank you for sharing this story. Thank you for your honesty - both the interviewer and the guest.
I googled every firefighter he mentions, just to learn their story, to learn a glimpse into their lives.
Some bad ass dudes for sure!
I love this guy so much, I don’t know how he has held it together. What an amazing guy ❤️🙏💪
