We had the honor of meeting Marty in person two weeks ago while traveling the NYC on a family vacation. He kindly took our picture, asked where we were from and gave us the great suggestion to visit Coney Island during our visit, (Which we did and loved it.) Marty was there at a conference as an ambassador for the Lukemia and Lymphoma Society to speak to people and give them hope if they had been diagnosed with cancer. He truly is a nice guy. It made us remember just how many people are still struggling and having to deal with the aftermath of 9/11. He shared his 9/11 story with us and I'm so glad he did. Our 18 year-old son with with us, who wasn't alive when this awful day happened, and it really helped to make it real for him instead of just hearing about it from us, his grandparents or from his history teachers. Keep sharing your story, Marty. You are continuing to make a difference every day with your outreach and support of similar survivors. -Christine S., Colorado
I haven’t checked this in a while. When found the phone, it was similar to the one I owned. I charged it when I got home on Wednesday. I looked through the contacts and found a woman with multiple phone numbers, I said to myself, she must be important to the owner. I called the number and prepared myself for the worst. I turned out to be the aunt of the cell phone owner. She worked in the south tower and was able to escape. I sent the phone to the main office and a few weeks later the owner picked it up.
@@stacy3 No, I worked across the street. St. Paul’s church is across the street from where I was. I was completely covered in dust. I had no whites to my eyes for 4 days.
@@stacy3 Thank you for your good wishes. Unfortunately, there is no cure for cancer. I live life 1 day at a time and give back and volunteer for several organizations.
I was so touched by Marty’s story! He was so generous and caring with those first responders! You’re an angel on earth and I’m glad you fought back against the cancer! 😇
Thank you for telling your story, Marty! I believe those of us who had no direct part in 9/11 sometimes forget it wasn’t just the people in the towers who were impacted, but also those for many blocks surrounding the twin towers. You described the dust and chaos so well, it’s an important part of the history of 9/11 and some time afterward. Also, it’s important to know about the communication problems during that time. Thank you for sharing your ongoing health problems with us. You did such important work that day, helping others. You are, in fact, still doing that. I am glad you have made peace with your illness and view it from an angle of positivity. As a retired critical care nurse I have often times admired people who are able to do that. Helping others can be very rewarding! All the best to you Marty! May you find some peace and joy!
I am so sorry you have fallen ill Marty. We all know now that those who were in the midst of the collapses and those who stayed around to help are affected, and will be for years to come. Thank you for 'staying around' to help others on that terrible day and the next day, and for your account now. BTW Whenever a 9/11 survivor is able to describe their movements as you did - with street names, junctions etc - I always pause and look up those places, to try and follow their account, experience, and memories better.
Marty, you tell such an interesting story with you experience. Heartfelt thanks for staying overnight to support first responders. What a sacrifice and act of compassion.
I can’t imagine being there that day, seeing people jump and wondering - to quote a NY firefighter, “How bad is it up there to where jumping is the best option?” My only solace is those people didn’t feel a thing upon hitting the ground. They were in God’s arms the second they hit. God Bless all who died and their families who live with that loss for the rest of their lives.
The more of the survivor stories i hear one thing comes to mind besides heroes and angels...All gave some and some gave all. With all of the illnesses related to the towers falling and the fallout in my eyes all who were there have given all.
So you saw the first tower on fire, heard and saw people running past your car saying "Terriorst attack" you saw the 2nd plane hit by your own words. But your only thought was to get to work? Boy I tell ya smh
DJ Van : Now they are being flown in and Americans are being left behind along with US military service dogs,equipment not to mention our folks who needlessly died on n Afghanistan. You could go on and on and on.
All of the hijackers entered the country legally. They had appropriate papers and financial backing to sign up for and pay for flight lessons and pilot licenses. Anyone swimming across the river on our Southern border do not have access to those kinds of resources. At this time, our greatest threats come from within.

@@stacy3 Hi

@@stacy3 We all have whites next the pupils in our eyes, mine were red from the dust and other debris that was in the air.
@@stacy3 Thank you for your good wishes. Unfortunately, there is no cure for cancer. I live life 1 day at a time and give back and volunteer for several organizations.

You’re an angel, Sir. Much love and respect to you. ❤

I had the exact same thoughts about people jumping, it's one of the images that has been stuck in my head.
You are a very special person. Wow. Thank you for your story!
Interesting perspective! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

Maybe prayers going out to you kind sir. I’m so sorry for all you’ve seen and endured 💔
Great story. Thanks for sharing!

You’re a good man, Marty. ❤
Respect!!! 🙏

What happened to the cell phone that he found ? Was he able to connect with any contacts on the phone?
I was really hoping she was going to ask him about it in the end. Perhaps Marty checks the comments and he can let us know.
@@dv1267 :hope so!
He answered above ^
So you saw the first tower on fire, heard and saw people running past your car saying "Terriorst attack" you saw the 2nd plane hit by your own words. But your only thought was to get to work? Boy I tell ya smh
❤️🇺🇸💙
What frightens me now is that with all the people walking across our southern border, how many are bad guys"?
DJ Van : Now they are being flown in and Americans are being left behind along with US military service dogs,equipment not to mention our folks who needlessly died on n Afghanistan. You could go on and on and on.
A lot of them !
All of them.
All of the hijackers entered the country legally. They had appropriate papers and financial backing to sign up for and pay for flight lessons and pilot licenses.

I thought it was gonna be the LA atty Marty Singer
It’s funny you say that, people have confused us. I once received an email from someone very famous thinking they were sending it to him.
@@martysinger880 - Ooooo - was it juicy?
