The problem with youtube is that it was never designed to host videos of this size. Anything more that 5 minutes takes forever to download. I can never watch videos hosted there. Please post alternatives to youtube whenever possible because their bandwidth isn’t sufficient.
I can not wait to get back to NYC since I know that this museum is there. I would love to visit and hear the stories that these True Heroes have to tell. As one says in the documentary, “Could listen for hours and hours on the stories they tell.” These are the types of heroes that people need to look up to and to have in life. 10/10*
To all Fire Men and Women out there… You are a TRUE inspiration for all of us!
