Back in 1999 i got a job on the New York Fast Ferry as an engineer. For two years i worked 6 days a week from 430 am till 930 pm with a lay over after the first to runs at the Brooklyn ship yard. Every night i would stand out on the back deck and look at the towers with all the lights. It was a sight that money couldnt buy...
During the course of working there i talked with alot of people who worked at the towers most became, in time, friends, some close.
When we started to tie up for our lay over i looked up and saw the first plane hit we started to head over to the wtc stop the second plane hit. Me and two other crew members jump ship and ran up to the site to see if we could help.
Upon arriving we witnessed parts of the planes, body parts,papers,books and the awful sound of bodies hitting the ground fire men cops and emts were all over everywhere.As the towers fell we were running towards the water Then Me and one other crew member turned around and stayed for 72 hours straight diggin....The sights and sounds will always be burnt in my head altho they dont bother me any more.
As the 10 year anniversary is upon us please take the time to remember the ones who lost their lives that day....Rest well my friends,Aaron
