Janice: hi, good morning, steve. we re going to talk to officials here in the 7:00 hour and one of my good friends robin who knows ray pfeiffer who died of 9/11 related illnesses a couple years ago. his name is on the wall at point lookout along with all the victims who died on that fateful day almost 20 years ago. we have steel from the world trade center. the north tower that fell. this is one of my favorite memorials. i hope you will stay with us during fox & friends. we have some important things to talk about remembering that fateful day on 9/11 when we lost so many and the world changed. the weather here is spectacular on long island. i think my friend ray pfeiffer who lived in this area has everything to do with the fact that we have beautiful conditions. we re going to go towards 83 today and then the chance for showers and thunderstorms wednesday night into thursday, of course we are going to be at different memorials all week. i believe we are at staten island tomorrow. we

unfortunately, there were people jumping out of windows. you could see them hitting the ground all around you. debris hitting the ground. let s move. come on. basically, everybody was standing right in the shadow of tower 1. it was 10:28 in the morning. and this huge roar. and i don t even have time to think at that point. i just run . then i feel someone jumping on top of me, and then the dust .
There at 9/11. what does it mean to see this? it probably gives them a reflection back to that time, as the sun was setting, as it did for you and caught your attention, it was a reflection of the leftover of tower 1, the skeleton. not a lot left of tower 1. we were on the east side of that tower walking into that pile every day. one of the pictures i took has that same reflection. and, you know, a moment in time, it goes back to nap and i think they might reflect that. but the pouring out of the people, the pouring out of the responders and the pouring out of everyone seems to be pretty close. that s what i wanted people to understand. the men and women there, they are all in. they are as engaged and as committed as i ve ever seen and this is hard work, and it s slow work. but i appreciate your perspective, chief. thank you very much. i appreciate it. and i think, look, it s important to remember. this is hard, this community is hurting. they re holding on to each
Of course, we have the fire jumpers and guys going out and dealing with natural disasters all over. you guys are often at them. but this picture that i d like to go back to. this is the side of the building, obviously. there is a lot of that is called widowmaker material, where it could fall on them. they have to remove it. but if you can go back to that silhouette picture. it hit so many of the people there, who were at 9/11. what does this mean, to you, to see this effort in this circumstance? it probably gives them a reflection, back, to that time for that period of moment as the sun was setting. as it did for you, caught your attention, it sure caught mine when you showed that to me. it was the reflection of the leftover of tower 1. skeleton, not a lot left of tower one. we are on the east side of that tower walking into that pile every day. so even one of the pictures i took has that same reflection. and, you know, a moment in time. gives you goes back to that. and i think the
