I used to live down the street from the city of Poughkeepsie fire house(when i was in college) , where that stick calls home (So. Cherry St.). That truck has the absolute LOUDEST mechanical siren I have ever heard. When it would roll to a hot job, my windows would rattle.

if you were closer to dutchess you could get 96.9, thats a great rock station!

I was a senior at Marist College at the time..... It was the first day at my new internship at the Dutchess County Sheriffs Office. As i nervously sat in the lobby wondering what my day would be like, I heard from their communications room "Oh my God, a plane crashed into the tower!" As i heard that i originally thought that they might have been talking about JFK, Laguardia, any airport. Then they began to say what tower it was, I was devistated. At that point they called me into the "fishbowl" and i saw first hand the damage that had happened. I turned away from the TV for a second to look for my superior officer to get my assignment and immediately turned back once i heard the scream of one of the dispatchers. Then i saw it, the second plane. It was at this point we knew this was no mere accident. We were under attack! Now as an intern, an intruder into their world, i had no idea what to do. At that point one of the deputies picked me up at Headquarters and we screamed across the county lights and sirens. First stop was the federal courthouse in Poughkeepsie to meet up with the Lt. that was on the road. We were told to get to the local airport ASAP. We then headed to the airport, not without getting stopped by civilians wondering if we had any more information than they did, but alas, we knew just as little as they did. When we got there we then heard the reports of the Pentagon, shortly followed by the crash of the other plane. Everyone was walking around like a zombie, no one knew what to do. The LT. then showed up at the airport, wondering who I was. When he found out that was an intern, the deputy was ordered to take me home for my own safety. When i returned to my apartment, I immediately called anyone and everyone i knew at home and that could be down there. My Father and my Brother, were on their way to stand by at the Fire House. And as I on the phone, word came down that they were being called for mutual aide to the city. Being over an hour away, there would be no way I could make it down in time. There was nothing I could do but sit there, in my apartment and watch the the horror unfold. As the hours passed, i met up with friends and learned just how many lives this tragedy touched. All we could do was sit there and comfort each other and pray for the best. Slowly but surely many friends heard from family members, and others did not. The hours turned, to days, and hope turned to despair. I will never, ever, forget where i was, what i was doing, what i was wearing, the weather anything about that day. Later on in school i was asked to write a speech about what had transpired. I thought I would just add a little piece...... HERO – NOUN- In mythology and legend, a man, often of divine ancestry, who is endowed with great courage and strength, celebrated for his bold exploits, and favored by the gods. When others ran away, they charged forward. When others reached out for safety, they offered a helping hand. When others cried out, they responded with a soothing voice. And, tragically, many of them died...but in doing so taught us all how to live. 9-11-01 NEVER FORGET!!!!
