Excerpt from the upcoming commemorative edition:
We were the first paramedic unit from Brooklyn to arrive. And as we pulled up, you know, the streets were littered with bodies already, and I'm just like, what's going on here? Stuff was raining down out of the building, people were screaming, it was just chaos. And there were other ambulances on the scene, and no one seemed to know what to do, so I just said to everyone, "Put on your jackets, put on your helmets, and just start taking care of people." And it was a mess. Some people were cut to ribbons. Others were burned. It was just unbelievable. And there were things falling out of the building that were hitting us...and it wasn't until later that I realized that they were, well, charred pieces of people." (NYC Paramedic)
