Carolyn Brown, sister of FDNY Capt. Patrick Brown of Ladder 3, shares the recording of her brother’s final dispatch call from the 35th floor of the North Tower.
I was given the very special gift of one of the shirts this week after hearing Captain Brown and being moved by his professionalism, calmness and bravery displayed in the call to dispatch. Tomorrow, 9/11/19 it is my honor to represent this American Hero.
I met your brother Paddy through Bobby P. from Zinno Restaurant. Actually had dinner with Paddy before the 3 of us hit the Town. He was so funny, caring and compassionate about his work. I can't believe both Paddy and Bobby are gone. I never got the chance to say good bye😢
It's human nature to feel secure as long as you are working in the blind. Being on the 35th floor He had no idea what extent the damage was above him where that plane had hit. His mental concept of everything was no different than any other fire. He was there to extinguish the blaze and rescue the injured and remove the dead. His aggressiveness was no less than it would have been on a lessor leveled structure. Fire fighters have the same mentality as soldiers on the battle field. Their enemy is that raging fire and it's capability to destroy property and human life. The cause is not the immediate issue, the rescue effort and battle the blaze and extinguish it. However the extent of what had hit those buildings were freshly fueled super sonic jets. Carrying extensive explosive fuel tanks that represented a bomb going off and melting girders and beams and knee braces and gussets and " x " bracing. Weakening the upper decks and floors with tons of steel and concrete. Something I am sure this courageous fire fighter never even considered, because his mind was set on helping rescue and secure lives of the injured. He said, burn victims were crowding the stairs as they were going up. It was congested and chaos while slowly moving in the dark dust filled passage ways. Sad for sure....
'We're still heading up'.......absolute heroes . Rest in eternal perfect peace Captain paddy brown and ladder 3 . Xx
"this is 3 truck and we're still heading up" that quote hits me where I live
I will never get over the professionalism of Captain Brown, his men and all the other 331 brothers on that day. "3 Truck and we're still headed up!"
Mam your brother was an absolute legend. Super human.
