"Floor number 1-0-6."
"Yesterday the words of those who rushed to the twin towers almost four years ago stung the heart of New York with their fresh poignancy, as the Fire Department released 900 minutes of FDNY radio transmissions and 12,000 pages of oral histories of 9/11 - voices of the living and the dead.

The massive release came after a lawsuit brought in 2002 by families of some of the 343 members of the Fire Department who perished and The New York Times."

excerpts:

...

Firefighter: "I just witnessed an airplane crash into the World Trade Center."

Dispatcher: "Say what?"

Firefighter: "A plane has just crashed into the World Trade Center."

...

Dispatcher: "We're receiving reports floor 1-0-6 - numerous people trapped. Floor number 1-0-6."


which reminded me of this:

"On the morning of September the 11th I was supposed to be on the 106th floor of the World Trade Center at a Risk Management Technology conference that a company by the name of Risk Waters was putting on. I was late that morning and in many ways I think that my life was spared and I get to do this today on their behalf. It is my privilege to think that."

"I, prior to 9/11, was a civilian Emergency Medical Technician and when the planes hit I called my job and I said I had just turned into an EMT, changed my clothes and went down to the site. As night fell on September 11th, 2001 I was on triage duty on the edge of the pile."

-- Indira Singh, Wall Street whistleblower, at the 9-11 Citizens' Commission
