These are some of the final recorded FDNY radio communications from inside the South Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
In the final minutes before the tower collapsed, firefighters were still climbing toward the impact zone, searching for survivors and calling for more men to come up.
Battalion Chief Orio Palmer had reached the 78th floor. Lt. Joseph Leavey of Ladder 15 was climbing toward him. With barely two minutes remaining, Palmer called Battalion 9 Chief Edward Geraghty and told him they had access to the floors above.
Geraghty's response: “All right, I'm on my way up, Orio.”
Seconds later, a Ladder 15 firefighter radioed that he was trapped in an elevator shaft: “We're chopping through the wall to get out.”
The radio signal disappeared shortly afterward. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m.
Orio Palmer, Joseph Leavey and Edward Geraghty were killed that morning. They were still going up while others were trying to get out.
Note: Some images used in this clip are unverified. For the sake of accuracy, I have not attempted to identify those individuals.

25+ years ago @maymaggy would let me help him at the @cbnationals
To go watch the Chili Bowl it would cost me around $1500 that I didn’t have. Rusty paid my pit pass and got me a hotel room. So that saved me $1500, but it also opened the door for me to learn things. I got to work on good equipment and i got to learn from someone who was good at what they did
I also got to learn from and listen to some of the best drivers in the building. Whether it was drivers, engine builders, parts suppliers, or sponsors i made connections and those connections stayed with me forever. I left the building with that in my pocket
Did i make money, no, but i paid my dues and met the people i needed to meet to have a somewhat successful career in racing. Could i have made it without going to the races and helping out people like Rusty? Probably, but it woulda been a hell of alot harder. When i had nothing i never turned down an opportunity to go learn. It wasn’t about the money, it was just my way of going to college 💯

And this is why we have the first and second amendments in America
UK: A Brit posted photo of him holding a shotgun while on holiday in Florida, when he returned home UK police arrested him, seized his devices, jailed him overnight for violating the 1986 Public Order Act. The process was the punishment.
After sharing a photo of himself posing with a legally possessed shotgun at a Florida shooting range, a British man was arrested, locked in a cell overnight, interrogated, and lectured that he “must understand how posts make people feel.” Police seized his computer and phone, wiping out his ability to work. Weeks later, all charges were quietly dropped because they were baseless from the start. Critics say the ordeal proves the UK has turned social media into a surveillance trap where innocent people are punished by process alone.

ALT Jon Richelieu Booth posted a picture of himself holding a shotgun at a Florida shooting range, and UK police treated it like a crime scene. He was arrested, jailed overnight, warned to “think about how posts make people feel,” and had his phone and computers seized, leaving him unable to work for weeks. Authorities finally dropped the baseless public-order charges, confirming what critics call Britain’s new rule: the process is the punishment.

Government will actually fund baseball and soccer fields. Why do they shun racing?
This read is eye opening and completely unfair. Do better @Go2HuntsvilleAL
This is crushing to the local youth racing scene (@nascaryouth )

I’m glad I pay for @FloRacing so I can watch the @nascaryouth national races . It’s especially great to watch an empty track and as soon as a race starts a series of adds come on. Surely the streaming service can do a better job at timing their adds! #dobetter

I sincerely hope this is incorrect…
Angus Dalgleish: Professor of Oncology at St George's Hospital Medical School, London: "At the end of last year I reported that I was seeing melanoma patients who had been stable for years relapse after their first booster (their third injection). I was told it was merely a coincidence and to keep quiet about it, but it became impossible to do so. The number of my patients affected has been rising ever since. I saw two more cases of cancer relapse post booster vaccination in my patients just this last week.
Other oncologists have contacted me from all over the world including from Australia and the US. The consensus is that it is no longer confined to melanoma but that increased incidence of lymphomas, leukaemias and kidney cancers is being seen after booster injections. Additionally my colorectal cancer colleagues report an epidemic of explosive cancers (those presenting with multiple metastatic spread in the liver and elsewhere). All these cancers are occurring (with very few exceptions) in patients who have been forced to have a Covid booster whether they were keen or not, for many so they could travel.
So why are these cancers occurring? T cell suppression was my first likely explanation given that immunotherapy is so effective in these cancers. However we must also now consider DNA plasmid and SV40 integration in promoting cancer development, a feature made even more concerning by reports that mRNA spike protein binds p53 and other cancer suppressor genes. It is very clear and very frightening that these vaccines have several elements to cause a perfect storm in cancer development in those patients lucky enough to have avoided heart attacks, clots, strokes, autoimmune diseases and other common adverse reactions to the Covid vaccines.
To advise booster vaccines, as is the current case, is no more and no less than medical incompetence; to continue to do so with the above information is medical negligence which can carry a custodial sentence.
No ifs or buts any longer. All mRNA vaccines must be halted and banned now."

It’s funny to look back at racing bikes professionally. There wasn’t much talk about how much a race paid to start, it was only about winning. Winning was all that mattered no matter what it paid. At the end of the day they knew the baddest SOB won, that check will still cash. – at Claremore, OK

Cool part for me was being able use a tire plug that I got from my dad years ago. The real game time decision was @trevor_canales with the use of my set-up clip board for wing repair/patch panel. #thelittlethings
