9/11 Fire Dispatch Recordings

By: New York City Fire Department
Listen for free

In August 2005, the New York City Fire Department released approximately 23 hours of radio dispatch audio recordings from the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. This came after The New York Times, along with eight 9/11 families, sued to win public dissemination of the transmissions, as well as hundreds and hundreds of pages of transcribed oral histories.

As a public service, Audible has selected nearly three hours of key, unedited transmissions by Manhattan Fire Radio. Fire Department dispatchers and firefighters in the field are heard describing the planes hitting the World Trade Center (included in Track 1), the collapse of the first tower (Track 2), and the collapse of the second tower (Track 3). These transmissions begin around 8:46 a.m. Eastern time and end at around 10:22 a.m.

Took a while to understand the accent, but once I did it was memorising and enthralling about the ‘behind the scenes’ drama that developed during the terror attack. Sad, as we knew the outcome, and many firefighters lost their lives. A true mark in history.

Haunting, Dramatic and very emotional
