BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Firefighter John Schroeder, assigned to Engine Company 10 directly across the street from the World Trade Center complex, holds back tears and describes his first-hand experience on Sept. 11th. His story directly contradicts many aspects of the National Commission on Terrorist attacks and corroborates many other eyewitnesses testimony. ?Standing outside the firehouse with my buddies, we were talking about how beautiful the day was. Then just like that, our lives changed forever. Some of those guys I would never see again.? In this exclusive interview, Firefighter Schroeder recollects in great detail how he was one of the first firefighters to rush to the complex. ?We first assembled on West Street, where we saw someone burnt beyond recognition. We were like ?What is going on here?? and then went straight into the Marriot building? From there, Firefighter Schroeder made his way to the lobby of the North Tower. ?It looked like a bomb went off, and we started making our way up the stairs to rescue as many people as we could.? As they were making there way up the floors, Firefighter Schroeder heard a huge explosion. ?The elevators just blew right out. We couldn?t believe it. The plane hits 80 floors up but the elevators explode at least five minutes later? It was unreal.? Firefighter Schroeder made it all the way up to the 23rd floor before barely hearing on the failing radios that another plane was coming in. That plane would hit the South Tower though for some reason ?We were tossed like a rag doll by another explosion in our building. People were making there way down the stairwells burnt like you couldn?t believe. We were all shocked because it seemed as if there was fire everywhere, on so many floors. It just didn?t make sense?. John Schroeder, we want to thank you for being as brave as your job requires in speaking out about your experiences on Sept/ 11th. You have set the historical record straight by explaining your story. This Nation is forever greatful to you as your account will help to save and protect many more lives.

This was bitter sweet to watch and hear the horror this man had to go through and live through that day. I truly wish him the very best life can offer to him from now on. As John feels helpless, I also feel helpless and I was no where near there that day but was watching in horror. Yes I was the kind that thought our government was and Is Incapable of terrorism but they are true masters at terrorizing this population. I watch WWII documentaries of Nazi Germany and could not believe people are capable of treating their fellow man as we treat a disease that we get but this Is a part of this country who are the true and real hijackers and criminals, not the few Arabs who we hear Are the enemies of the USA. Our enemies are our leaders, they walk among us and are full of pure evil. I blind man with a blind dog could sniff out this dirt. The worlds best defensive country couldn't handle a few airliners that day. So many people did not show up for work In the towers that day. Take a good look at a hi rise being brought down and take a good look at the towers coming down. If you are able to see with your eyes and have a working mind, you know for a fact they were brought down but not by the airplanes. If this came Into a court of law, 5th graders would find the guilty monsters but we are not children, we are adults who do nothing but talk and that where it ends. The people who live in reality know what's on the stove cooking and so does the rest of the world. This country has not been through such massive lies, fear factors and just plain BS since 1776. Who ever sits back and does nothing In the face of mass crimes of the government then deserve what they got and what awaits them all. Wake the hell up, wake up. Your giving away all your democratic rights and willingly to criminals who care only for themselves and the HELL with the rest of us. It doesn't take wealth to put fear in our leaders who by the way are traitors. They so easily send others sons and daughter's to be killed and crippled all for their endless greed. Yes and they claim to be Christians. At least if you are then there's a place reserved for you In HELL. Yes all you American patriots, keep eating your hot dogs and gulping your beer while you waste your lives watching senseless movies or games while your country Is being vaporized day by day by officials who don't give a damn about you or your kids and your grand kids who will be here when their freedoms will no longer be here for them to enjoy. Wake the HELL up. Finally, I want to praise all the guys and babes who are trying to wake everyone's ass up, the one that's In the manger of course. Good work guys and keep It up so maybe somehow with enough pressure we can prosecute the traitors In our federal government. Nixon had the decency to step down, bow out. How about you Mr. cowboy, why not get on your horse and ride out of our lives and right Into prison where you belong. To all who died and families who will never feel the end of this disaster, peace be upon you all and to all the Palestinians, Iraqi's and Lebanese civilian fathers, mothers, sons and daughter's and babies who are being butchered daily.I can write until the day i die so lets go by less is more this round. Peace.
