September 11th, 2001 : I watched the towers go down and the attack on America from CNN World News while on bored an aircraft carrier (USS Carl Vinson), along with 5500 others. We were miles off the coast of Singapore and went full steam ahead to Persian Gulf right away. We waited off the coast of Afghanistan, for the go ahead. Over the next 3mo. we dropped over 10 million tons of ordnances, breaking every record at the time and spent 111 days straight out to sea to support Operation Enduring Freedom.
There were 2,595 people in the World Trade Center and near it, including:
343 NYFD firefighters and paramedics
23 NYPD police officers
37 Port Authority police officers
1,402 people in Tower 1
614 people in Tower 2
658 people at one company, Cantor Fitzgerald
1,762 New York residents
674 New Jersey residents
1 NYFD firefighter killed by a man jumping off the top floors of the Twin Towers
