Bro... i live in bellmore. Right next to bellmore avenue. And that radio call is from my station. 💔

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibxdf9l6qLWronk.htmlsi=CwYLoBkuPeQryvQ6&t=960 I hope this ladies family made it

I was 10 when the tornado came through, i will never forget the roaring and the rumble in my chest.

the loss of that building was also heartbreaking. Was former Empress/Edison Hotel and was 123 years old at time of fire.

33:08 this is any first responder's worst nightmare during a mass casualty. 1 patient is about to turn into 2. Half of me is like I wonder what happened did she get there safely and have the baby and the other half's like of course she did everything is fine mazel tov and seeing this as a silver lining, a rebirth of sorts.

19:09 that's some quick thinking on his feet. the bar and chain oil like what good are the chainsaws if they're not going to be oiled up? in a time of trauma that's how my mind works too, but any other time I'm completely scattered brained and would have totally forgotten about the bar and chain oil.

The sirens screamed on repeat, we knew it was time to take cover. The mighty scream of the guardian gargoyl rang out until it was consumed by the unstoppable force

Well that’s a shame that the rig Rescue 5 had aka the 2002 E-One was involved in an accident and need massive repairs for the massive damage it had. God bless the FDNY from all the railfanners and fire buffs that could’ve seen the accident that day

Whenever my hometown's fire department get a call about a fire I just hear two beeps

My dad was in this accident, he’s the one speaking calmly in the beginning while you can hear someone panicking in the background. Luckily my dad got out unscathed and helped his fellow department members out. Ironically, he was very involved in the build of this engine. I’m very proud of my father and there is a lot of details in this incident I am not at the leisure to discuss. Nonetheless, this will always be a core moment of my life.

I witnessed a mother giving birth during the Tornado. The baby flew out and she was holding the baby by the umbilici cord while it was suspended in the air screaming. As she held on to the umbilici cord, it was swinging in circles like a Mexican pinata.What a sight!

Damn bro i thought i was dreaming this🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ this happend to my childhood friend and his wife and kids fuck man🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😭

This dispatcher is phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. And I’m pretty sure from other audio I’ve heard that she was working the PD side of things too. Absolutely insane. I won’t Monday morning quarterback but I’m sure that first Lt who initiated command was glad when someone else took over and he could go to work

😂😂😂😂😂

Are there any EAS Tornado Warnings for this that exist on the internet? Not mocks, but actually in time alerts. Cause I have not found any.

Total chaos. It is extremely difficult to manage the logistics of a response of this magnitude. I don't know how many firefighters, LEOs, EMTs, Paramedics, and others responded to this, but it would be extremely difficult. I would imagine that there were hundreds at the very least. It would be overwhelming for the dispatchers. On top of that, it is impossible to run a drill to respond to a disaster of this magnitude. How do you know what the worst case scenario is until you've seen it first hand? All of these emergency personnel were as heroic as a person can be.

Why is this not a mayday?

I went to the memorial in the chardon park, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread and sadness when I was by the heart bell

Guys I lived at that home where the smoke exploded I was lucky to make it out alive

FDNY WORLDS BEST. IN THERE OWN LEAUGE

Nothing worse than a company not answering on the radio especially when it’s already a chaotic seen. Eng 51 need to get a refresher on radio communications like holding the button down before you speak and then when your done release the button. In all honesty he is embarrassing not only himself but his Department as well.

From what I read that thing went from an EF-1 to an EF4/ 5 in less than 4 minutes.

NEVER FORGET 5/22/2011 12 Years Ago

A danger all us paid and volunteers face. From a volunteer firefighter to who ever reads this thank your first responders when you see them.

Once again showing us how useless cops are. This time the disbatch was just as useless. They csre more about staging area than trying to help people. Like jesus christ. These are their fellow brothers and they are in the staging area twiddling thumbs while people bleedout and die. Cops are SO freaking useless!! They never save anyone. If there is an active shooter, they become chickens and are to scared to go in and help people cause they might get shot. The heck is your job for then? Just to write tickets or pull over black people for being black? Like seriously cops are so pathetic.

The tragedy of this shooting massacre is still so raw, even after 10 years. May the shooting victims rest in peace. 😞

This audio always makes my hair stand on end, no matter how many times I listen to it. God bless Seattle Fire. This was a scary situation for sure. One never truly knows how they will respond until actually faced with a situation. Yes, the battalion chief on scene was shaken by the situation, as anyone would be. Battalion 6, Engine 21, & Ladder 5 were at the scene investigating the gas leak when the whole area exploded, leveling the involved buildings. Anyone quick to criticize should put themselves in the chief's shoes here. You'd be shaken too, if you saw buildings where your coworkers (who you know well) were around explode, not knowing if they were alive or dead. True, it was 3 minutes into this recording before it was communicated to dispatch that there had been an explosion, which changes the whole situation (as they stated, generating a 2-11 response), but all in all, everyone did great & thank God no one was killed in this incident.

This is in Harris county Georgia

How many of the 9 people who were behind the theater died because the commander was too overwelmed and hyper focused on staging areas and not reaponding to serious issues. Iget dont panic, but if you cant handle the stress, please leave the position so that someone who can, can take over. There were many people in this call thatbsounded so much more organized than the commander. Yikes. Sometimes protocols get in the way of saving lives. Remmeber that when you are waiting for help in a life or death situaction. They have to follow a check list before they can help you. Mean while you bleed out and die whiling waiting..

We need to cut our police numbers in half, at least.

“The person demands full cable, internet, and telephone.” Well he’ll have all 3 free of charge for the next 15-30 years after this along with a free cell and meals.

Still hate your sports teams Bawstin😂

“This might be a dumb question for ya…” actually a great question to me honestly💡

me when i was trampled by 2 horses and a carriage ❤so sexy slay

I live in Connecticut. This was just awful. I remember it so clearly.

236 great company

That was awful I was wondering if anybody knows where I can get T-shirts from the Firehouse just for support I know it's been a while back I just respect those guys I love firefighters they would put their ass on the line to save you

I remember this it was Foodtown

Where is the time stamp for the mayday?

Keystone one block West of Pulaski basically Division and Pulaski the exact address would be 1200 N 4100 W

Check out the Springfield, Massachusetts one too! 😮

Thanks BLM they should be held accountable

East NY k

Since when is a company not responsible for safety inside their own plant, on their property? When there is a deadly explosion, workers die, many more injured, but Kleen Energy denies responsibility and their lawyer's pay off the judges on the state supreme court. No, you people that were severely injured, or the families of the dead workers'received some penny anie workers compensation money, so that's all you get. This is BS!

I was at my house in Downtown Easthampton when the gas explosion occurred and I didn't hear it.

God bless all of our firefighters.
