About Talon

Hiede...

......please tell Talon that he CAN'T get sick. He has more Korean missions to do! Seriously, I have never met him but can empathize, pray, and wish the best for him.
As a retired first responder,who had just retired at the time, I have many friends how are now living with the situation like Talon. It is day by day sometimes. Living, and working, in NY I had many friends who perished that day along with some officers I knew and some I helped train for their jobs. Horror stories abound of that day.
Many believe it was just the asbestos used in the buildings. It is not the only culprit. One of the main culprits also appears to be the pulverised concrete. It appearently is causing sciliaosis(sp) of the lungs of some. Think of the warnings on bags of concrete that you buy at the home stores. READ the warnings on them!
I will try to attach photos of the horrible day for those who don't remember. 911 NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!!! View attachment 10893View attachment 10893
 
Yes today is his birthday and we will celebrate it when he gets out.

His lungs are clearing and he is breathing better.If all goes well he will be home by the weekend but will have to take it easy.

Fibber I lost my husband in December 2002 because of 9/11,he was also Talon's brotheer.They were both there helping.

We could see the WTC from where we lived at the time and saw the second plane hit.

I read a while ago that a firefighter or technical measuring devices detected with high radiation and then bluish lights that were camouflaged in any way with the decoration of blue reflectors.

I do not save5 the link but Here is It.

this is strange, because according that I read ,many firefighters worked with gas and dust masks even these were also affected, could have other causes besides the dust should formally investigate.

wish you a speedy recovery Talon
 
Hiede.........

....please accept my most heartfelt condolences on your past husband and give my most hearty best wishes to Talon for a speedy recovery.
Max, don't believe everything you see on "Youtube". Example is of the side bar on the link you posted, Those towers were NOT built as reactor towers. I worked around there when they were going up and had ironworker friends who worked in/on the towers and they were always designed as office towers.
As regards the masks, the masks that were issued (when they finally were) were the common paper masks. Totally useless in that type of environ.and gas masks were never designed for those type of particulars and also useless. Even so, try putting one on and doing any sort of strenuous work. You will be sucking for air in no time at all. That is what happend, many had to remove the masks to even breathe and sucked in the contaminated air.
As for "hot spots" the fires burned for days/weeks under "the pile".

Lets not deviate from the main crux of this post and leave that for Cantelos The main thing here is Talons health. GET WELL Talon!!!!

I do not believe in everything that I see on YouTube, there are a stupid comerce about disinformation, but I do not believe in the United States officially said about the causes of all workers and firefighters affected, and all I'm saying is that out of respect for the people affected, should study any doubt or anomaly found around the event, I'm talking about the blue lights were filmed and photographed up from the rubble, and radiation found in testings and that no official explanation has been given about its.

I understand what you are talking about the basic masks, but the police and firefighters had some gas and dust masks with filters, masks of professional service.

Hey guys,

Let's keep this focused on Al. He needs prayers right now with his health, as well as a hurricane and tropical storm headed his way. :wavey:

I hope you feel better, Talon. And thanks to Hiede for the updates.
 
Hear! Hear!

I figured that much. Especially when I started reading the words "Zionist conspiracy" and such. Simply turned youTube page off and carried on.

HEAR!HEAR!HEAR! Couldn't agree more. Please, Hiede (....ahem, Rami, please check your spelling.....) let me join Fibber in offering my condolences for the loss of your husband and to Talon as well, for the loss of his brother. What a grievous tragedy. :dread:

Because of the 2 storms they are letting Al come home today.

Hurricane Iselle, was a Category 4 and now a Category 1, is expected Thursday night into Friday. We expect flash flooding, mud slides, and power outages. The Big Island (Hawaii) is going to get hit the hardest if it stays on course. It will be south southeast of us. (Maui )

Hurricane Julio will follow over the weekend. Julio was a tropical storm and has gained strength and is now a Category 1 hurricane.

Since we came home early from out trip we have plenty of supplies. We have been bringing them from the boat to the house since we got home. We have tested our generator and the backup one and they work fine.

Since we live on high ground the flooding and mud slides shouldn't effect us.

Flash flooding a few years ago burst two dams on Kauai.

Going to pick up Talon now and will probably take me about three hours.

We are fine. The earthquake was by the Big Island which is about a 100 miles away.

Hurricane Iselle was down graded to a tropical storm and the Big Island took the brunt of the storm. 2 communities there lost power.Because of the mountains Iselle lingered there and they got most of the rain.I heard they got 4 inches in an hour.We were lucky because the storm passed south of us and wasn't as potent.

Hurricane Julio was a cat 3 hurricane and is now down graded and is expected to lose more force the next few days.If it stays on track it will pass 150 to 200 miles north of us.

Sounds like a great pastime for now! What is the view from the rocking chair? Ocean, sea birds, or green mountains--
or all the above? :encouragement:
 
I can hear the tune now..............

........I'm forever blowing bubbles............" Just make sure that you don't get yourself a hounddog and start playing a banjo to go with that rocker! Now when we ask Hiede where is Talon she might say "he is off his rocker". That might cause some confusion around here!!!!
Seriously though, get better!!!!!!!!!!!:wavey:
