For any of those that are curious, Ryan Blackwell did become a FDNY firefighter. He preformed a rescue of a women on September 14, 2013 after only 4 months on the job. He is currently assigned to Ladder 32.
Ryan, you had a lot to carry on your shoulders at such a young age. I'm sure you have felt that your dad has been with you as you follow in his footsteps. You certainly are a credit to him.
@@garystadler5583 Really? Im so proud of Ryan. He got to join a SOC unit like his dad, and he is so close to going to Rescue 3 if he wanted to join, just like how FF. Tom Foley transfered from SQD. 41 to R3
My pops worked with almost all these heroes When rescue 3 was Washington heights with engine 93 , ladder 45 and battalion 13 God bless all their families and the entire FDNY family God bless them all respects
Tommy McTigue also worked there until 1987 or 1988. Rescue 3 moved from Engine 71 Ladder 55 and Division 6 in 1968 and from 1968-1992 they were with 93 Engine 45 Truck and the 13 Battalion then moved to 46 Engine and 27 Truck’s old quarters at 450-451 East 176th Street between Park Avenue and Washington Avenue, now they live at 1655 Washington Avenue near 46 Engine and 27 Truck’s current quarters, 50 Engine 19 Truck and the 26 Battalion live near Rescue 3 Collapse Rescue 3 RAC 3 46 Engine and 27 Truck
The son reading his father's words brought tears to my eyes. I hope he fulfills his wish and is able to be a fire fighter in Rescue 3. I imagine he will be specifically assigned there rather than just given a random fire house. Legacy outweighs random choice.
@@thatoneguy4041He was in the same firehouse as Ladder 32 but actually in Engine 62 where my maternal grandfather was a captain in he’s now in Squad 41 and may transfer back to Rescue 3
Never forget the sacrifices they made to save lives and in the process gave up there own lives. The lives the loss and loss of life that was to come. We can never forget there sacrifice.
This kid will be a great fighterfighter at 1043.....yes sir you go and live your dream I never knew your father but he seems like a GREAT MAN I know a couple of other guys around the table though
Man I sat here and cried watching this. It's 2013 and to this day I cannot forget watching the events of that day unfold before my eyes. I had no intention nor any idea, that one day I would join the fire service. But I remember feeling so strongly that day that the world had lost some very important men.
Ten years later, Alexandra, 25, is a police officer at a coastal Connecticut town; Ryan, 23, is New York City Fire Department EMT with plans to follow in his father's footsteps and become a firefighter; and Samantha, 21, is a college student with plans for a career in health care. Jane, who was once an EMT, said she's not surprised her children are taking after their father with careers in public service and helping people.
R1SmokeEater idk if ur fdny or not but if you are I wanna say thank you for what you do and thank you for the videos u have posted so far ice enjoyed all of them 343 will never be forgotten they will live on- Fairfax County, Va
That’s why this job is the greatest job on the planet. It’s greater than ourselves and what we do is greater than ourselves. I was raised the same way...To love and respect the job and to love those you serve. Without that love, it would be just another job. But it’s far from just another job and that’s something that all fireman believe. To be surrounded by others who feel the same way about that job that you do, makes it’s worth it and makes it worth waking up everyday to do.
Ryan Blackwell started out at 62 Engine in Gun Hill which is the same engine company my maternal grandfather was a captain in then Blackwell was transferred to Squad 41 in Melrose on East 150th Street near the Grand Concourse, hopefully he gets put into Rescue 3 soon
For those interested, I strongly recommend Report From Ground Zero by retired FDNY Firefighter Dennis Smith. It chronicles the miraculous survivals of FDNY, NYPD & PAPD with backgrounds of those who perished along with the recovery efforts.
Anyone from Rescue 3 knows exactly what Christ kept in his locker that they didn't show which would have earned him more than just a frown from the city. The only hint I'll give to narrow it down is: "There were no more broken bottles against the firehouse."
I am friends with the Blackwells and my dad was best friends with Chris, he is part of the reason I want to be a fireman, the other part is that my dad is a leutenite in ridgefield where Chris also worked
Does anyone know if Joe Spor daughter is still in New york ...I have something that she done for him when she was little I don't know how to contact her it is a card she had drawed for him. If anyone knows her or maybe she will see this and respond back..
Nexus5150 I wish the US would’ve turned all the Middle East into one big radioactive glass desert before 9/11, we should’ve just killed the saudis, the Persians, the Afghans any and all of them, would’ve made the 2000s a better place and definitely made the 2010s a better place. Should’ve just let the soviets had there way with the place in the 1970s and the US wouldn’t have had to worry about it later

Shame on u
IHAVE RESPECKT FOR THEM ON THAT DAY SEPT 11 ( R.I.P TO ALL FALLEN FIREMEN AND WOMEN IN THE USA )
Ryan Blackwell saved a women on the 14th, like father like son said his captain, he's been on the job 4 months
My dream is to be on one of the rescues I'm a junior firefighter in PA I've always wanted to be on rescue hopefully I can
C.J. Quinn you do realize new york isn’t the inly department that gas rescue companies right?
My dream is to join FDNY Rescue 3
he is, he just finished the fdny academy, hes in the bronx, i talked to him a week ago
I am friends with the Blackwells and my dad was best friends with Chris, he is part of the reason I want to be a fireman, the other part is that my dad is a leutenite in ridgefield where Chris also worked
Probably so, I'd estimate he was 13 when this was filmed, if he was 13 in 2001 he would be 25 now, so I'd say yes.
no, his son just finished the academy and is in the bronx at engine 68
Nice!
I would love to know if the son has become a fire fighter for them.
do you still have part 1?
Yes. It was removed here for CW infring. Imagine that shit?!
I posted the whole thing in one part on FB. GS fanpage
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Does anyone know if Joe Spor daughter is still in New york ...I have something that she done for him when she was little I don't know how to contact her it is a card she had drawed for him. If anyone knows her or maybe she will see this and respond back..
Where is Part 1?
You tube pulled it. 🤷🏻♂️
he did, but not on that company
You just wish metal security detectors and upgraded security had been developed before 9/11
