    CHESTER ST BROWNSVILLE BKLYN 1970

    I'm no engineer or expert but just looking at the first pictures it just seemed like that building was gonna come down. When the slideshow got to the collapse pictures I'm thinking "I knew that building was coming down". I can't explain why that came into my head either.

    1/14/22 Brooklyn All-Hands Box 0487

    I got a chance to see E224s quarters many times because one of our terminals was in the basement. It looked like a classic firehouse and good group of guys there no matter who was working. They'd always offer a cup of coffee and at one time I actually had to repair their phone so I sat around...

    prayers needed for Kevin Obrien (KOB)FDNY

    You're welcome 217. My dad was quite a bit older than Kevin, 84 at the time and he was also affected by Parkinson's which seriously affected his mobility and by the end of a 45 day stay he was up walking with a walker and minimal assistance. I'd guess Kevin's road will be somewhat easier if he's...

    That's a tight spot. Behind those buildings on Henry is a yard that had access to the second story roof behind 132 and the last 2 buildings on Montague. I've had to trace many outside wires back there 😎 There's alot of wood in those old buildings they did a great job keeping it from spreading to...

    December 7, 1941 PEARL HARBOR...NEVER FORGET !

    Visiting Pearl Harbor was something I'll never forget. Looking down at the Arizona and seeing the oil still coming from the ship made you realize the importance of what happened that day. Too many heroes to count in one day. About 9 years ago i made another trip to Oahu and happened to be there...
