Miguel Caldeira, a volunteer firefighter in two New York fire departments, recalled his personal experience on a program called NOW, on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The terrorist attacks occurred in 2001 and caused thousands of deaths.
Caldeira highlighted the courage and dedication of the rescuers who responded to the catastrophe, emphasizing the heroic work of all those who risked their lives to save others during and after the collapse of the towers.
The firefighter also recalled that New York united during that difficult time, with people setting aside their political and social divisions to help each other in the face of the tragedy that struck the city.
Caldeira's reflection comes in the context of the annual commemorations of the September 11 attacks, which continue to be held in New York and throughout the world.
