Just to clarify something about the upcoming WTC film

[Knight165]

Mods....
I'm not starting this thread to start any fights. I just want to correct something about the locked WTC trailer thread.
In the discussions about the WTC trailer...the posters in the thread were referring to the characters as members of the Fire Department of the City of New York. They are not depicting members of my department, but of the Port Authority POLICE Department. Yes, I know you saw them with Scott Paks(breathing apparatus)...but the PAPD and the NYPD ESU have them also for emergencies.
I know some people are going to say..."what's the difference?"......but as a N.Y.C. fireman, I've seen firsthand how the PAPD and NYPD are a "second thought" sometimes and I'd just like to get that straight.
Just for your thoughts....there were 341 firemen, 2 EMS(FDNY), 23 NYPD Police Officers and 37 PAPD Police Officers and almost 3,000 civilians murdered on September 11th, 2001.

AI Franchise....I don't even know what to say to you.....but if you saw the new still shots from the security camera outside the Pentagon....there goes your conspiracy theory.
I was at the World Trade Center. I KNOW what went on there....so I don't need to see some internet B.S. to tell ME what happened.

Lock this if you must and I apologize in advance...but I just had to respond fellas. I'm sorry.

Re: Just to clarify something about the upcoming WTC film

To add to your MK's thoughts as well, i worked in the trade center (83rd floor tower one) and I was in the lobby when the 1st plane hit. I watched the trailer and for me its too soon to see the movie. I guess from witnessing death and feeling the heat on the ground from the 2nd plane's impact i dont think emotionally i could handle the movie right now. I do hope it captures the emotion and the heroism of the fire fighters, police officers and everyday citizens that helped each other that day. There is a lot to be learned and gained about the human spirit from that 9/11 and hopefully the movie captures that.

I experienced what went on that day. Although i'd like address AI_Franchise, he isnt worth a response in my opinion and i understand this forum isnt the appropriate place to to debate his theories either.

I had to respond as well.

Now that this has been cleared up...lets lock it up.
