| "It Didn't Seem Real"
We were just drawn there. I had the strangest feeling. We were actually involved at ground zero. We were looking for bodies, we were finding body parts, we were waiting for a body bag to take away a leg. We went into what must have been a ground level room, and there were two firefighters in there. They were deceased. After that, it just hit me: This is real. I couldn't get over the fact that the twin towers were in front of me, but they were on the ground. We were right there with the dogs, walking over the beams, over fires that were still burning.
