Former New York Fire Department EMS paramedic Michelle Robbins recalled the tragic aftermath of the 9/11 attacks at the Broadalbin-Kennyetto Fire Company’s annual memorial event at their fire station Thursday night, remembering and honoring the victims of the attack for its 24th anniversary.
Robbins said she still remembers vividly where she was that day. She had missed her train, and got the call after the first tower fell — once she arrived on-scene, she quickly learned many of her fellow firefighters had perished attempting to save others.
“It was surreal,” she said. “When I got down there was where they always show the broken building with the bridge that was broken in half — that's when I found out a lot of my elder [firefighters] had perished.”
