190: one September morning: Guy

What Was That Like - a storytelling podcast with amazing stories from real people

Every September, here on the podcast we feature a guest who has a personal experience with 9/11.

Most people remember exactly where they were on the morning of September 11, 2001, when terrorists struck the US using hijacked airplanes. It was a dark day for this country.

This month, What Was That Like is publishing a 3-part series titled one September morning. In each episode, you’ll hear someone telling their personal story about what they experienced on that day. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to subscribe and follow the show so you don’t miss an episode.

Today is the third and final episode in this series, and we hear from Guy.

Guy was an EMS Supervisor for a private ambulance company. He talks of co-workers that were literally pulled from the rubble, those who are still missing, and those who left spouses and children behind. We’ll have pictures of some of his co-workers in the episode notes. Guy also has ongoing health issues as a result of his time spent at Ground Zero. But he doesn’t regret rushing toward danger, and he would do it again if needed.
