I never heard about the British guys on 9/11. There was such a massive amount of info coming in, that it was impossible to catch it all. What was that all about?
A lot of the bondsmen/traders kept phones on speaker with their colleagues in other countries. Apparently, their British counterparts heard everything, from the time the first plane hit until all their American colleagues were dead. From what I've read, they were traumatized by all they heard, people crying, calling loved ones, coughing, trying to find a way out, talking about jumping, and finally, dying. I read this in the first days after the attack, and never heard much about it after. But it stuck in my mind, imagine being an ear witness to all that horror. Worse though, were the people that watched the jumpers and the results on the sidewalks. The media won't show you the jumping anymore, but I have a friend who is a NYC Fireman, and he showed me pictures of the aftermath of the jumps. Shocking, awful. I will never forgive or forget the scum that did this.
