Chief Rappe
"I recall the name Rappe" "A chief that we had pulled, that was alive, who was -- looked -- appeared to be disoriented, not -- at the time didn't seem like he was injured in any major way. We removed him from World Trade Center No. 6,"
"All the searches were negative except for a Police Department vehicle where we extricated a Police Department -- I'm guessing a plainclothes detective or plainclothes officer."
"We did find a battalion chief and his aide just inside World Trade Center No. 6." [dead]
"...went back down via the 12 truck basket down to the street underneath the foot bridge and tried to make our way up to where the rest of our members were operating in that separate
stairwell."[?]

WE GOT JUST ABOUT SOUTH OF THE NORTH OVERPASS, ABOUT 50 FEET PAST WHEN THE FIRST COLLAPSE OCCURRED. I LOOKED UP, I WAS AWED
BY---I THOUGHT IT EXPLODED AT THE TOP
THAT WAS ABOUT IT FOR MY PARTICIPATION IN THE FIASCO OR WHATEVER IT WAS

AS I WAS ON MY WAY BACK TO BATTALION 50 FROM BHS, I SAW THE SECOND PLANE HIT THE TOWERS FROM THE BQE
I KNOW PARTICULARLY, THERE WAS GIRL CHRIS FROM SOMEWHERE IN NEW JERSEY, WHO KIND OF SET UP LIKE THE TRIAGE TREATMENT AREA IN THE LOBBY OF ONE LIBERTY PLAZA, AND BY THE WAY SHE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB
I SPENT LOT OT MY TIME FIGHTING WITH THESE PEOPLE TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE PILE BECAUSE I HAD SOME SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT IT BEING STABLE, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY, LATER ON PROVED TO BE TRUE, BECAUSE THERE WAS SECONDARY COLLAPSE WHICH I THINK WOUND UP TAKING THE LIVES OF A COUPLE OF THE PORT AUTHORITY OFFICERS WHO WERE IN THE RUBBLE
SOMEWHERE DURING THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT---I WAS THERE FROM DAYLIGHT ON TUESDAY UNTIL ABOUT SIX O'CLOCK, SEVEN O'CLOCK WEDNESDAY MORNING, AND SOMEWHERE DURING THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH AN ASSIST AMBULANCE CREW, THAT THEY WERE---THEY HAD SMUGGLED A REPORTER INTO GROUND ZERO IN THE BACK OF THEIR AMBULANCE. WHEN I CONFRONTED THEM AND TRIED TO GET SOME STRAIGHT ANSWERS, THEY GOT A BIT BELLIGERENT, SO DID THE REPORTER, AND I CONVINCED HIM TO LEAVE THE AREA.
WE PULLED OUT I THINK ABOUT TWO OR THREE MORE PATIENTS DURING THE COURSE OF THE EVENING. DR GONZALEZ HAD SHOWN UP BECAUSE THERE WAS A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS, YOU KNOW, WITH DOCTORS STAYING OFF THE PILE. PEOPLE YOU KNOW, NARCOTICS BEING SENT TO THE FRONT LINE, YOU KNOW, VIA ANYONE WHO SAID THAT THE DOCTOR UP FRONT NEEDED THEM, YOU KNOW THERE WERE LOT OF PROBLEMS LIKE THAT.
I HAD ISSUES WITH THE PORT AUTHORITY COPS BEING UP THEY WERE PROBABLY 30 YARDS INTO THE RUBBLE CLIMBING AROUND AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT WAS WHEN THERE WAS SECONDARY COLLAPSE. THERE WAS PORT AUTHORITY SERGEANT WHO CAME TO OUR YOU KNOW TREATMENT AREA AND HE REQUESTED SOME NARCOTICS THE MORPHINE BECAUSE EITHER ONE OR TWO OF HIS OFFICERS WERE TRAPPED AND HE MADE STATEMENTS TO THE EFFECT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TRY AND CUT THEM OUT HE SAID HE WAS NURSE. WITH THAT TWO DOCTORS WHO WERE AT MY STAGING AREA NATURALLY VOLUNTEERED TO GO UP ON THE RUBBLE SO THE PARAMEDIC DECIDED ADVISED THE PARAMEDIC TO SEND THEM TO GIVE HIM THE NARCOTICS AND THEY DID TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND WAS THERE ALL NIGHT THOSE OFFICERS NEVER CAME TO OUR STAGING AREA
AS MATTER OF FACT THE FACT THAT THERE WERE NO PATIENTS, OR VERY FEW PATIENTS, CONTRIBUTED TO EVERYONE BEING ANXIOUS AND MULLING AROUND AND ALL THAT TYPE OF STUFF AND IT JUST KIND OF COMPLICATED THINGS A BIT MORE
BACK TO THAT TUESDAY NIGHT AGAIN THERE WAS SECONDARY COLLAPSE WHICH IM NOT SURE BUT IN MY OPINION AND WHAT THINK HAPPENED THATS WHAT WOUND UP TAKING COUPLE OF THOSE PORT AUTHORITY COPS THAT WERE MISSING
SECOND OF ALL NOBODY KNEW AND IT TURNED OUT HINDSIGHT IS GREAT BUT THERE WOUND UP BEING SECONDARY COLLAPSE LITTLE BIT LATER ON THE OTHER SIDE, WHICH LET ME JUST KIND OF GET REFERENCE---
Q: THE WEST SIDE
A: I WAS AT TRINITY AND LIBERTY
Q: RIGHT
A: SOMEWHERE OVER HERE, NORTH UP NEAR SOMEWHERE IN THIS AREA
Q: RIGHT IT WOULD BE TOWARDS---
A: IS THAT THE NORTHEAST PLAZA BUILDING?
Q: YES NEAR WEST AND VESEY
A: THERE WAS SOME KIND OF OTHER, ANOTHER SECONDARY COLLAPSE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU HEARD THE BIG CRASH...
WEDNESDAY IT WAS STILL OUT OF CONTROL. NARCOTICS AND SUPPLIES WERE BEING SENT UP TO THE TRONT LINE WITH CIVILIANS WITH PIECE OF MASKING TAPE ON THEIR SHIRT SAYING EMT, AND SENDING, AGAIN, SUPPLIES AND EVEN
NARCOTICS, UNTIL THINK IT WAS DR GONZALEZ WAS THERE. HE TOLD ME KIND OF GET GRIP ON THE SITUATION AT STUYVESANT SCHOOL, SEE WHATS GOING ON. I DID.
WE SET UP SECURITY WE SET UP THEY PRETTY MUCH HAD TREATMENT AREA SET UP THERE WAS YOU KNOW DOCTORS NURSES WHAT WOUND UP HAPPENING WITH THE HELP OF DR GONZALEZ WE PUT STOP TO ALL THE SUPPLIES GOING UP TO THE FRONT FIRST OF ALL WITHOUT ANYONE WE KNEW WE TRIED TO GET GRIP ON THAT
I HAD HALF A DOZEN MASSEUSES SHOW UP WHO WERE WILLING TO, AND THEY SET UP SHOP AND THEY WERE GIVING OUT MASSAGES TO YOU KNOW, ANYONE, JUST SEND THEM OVER
MY MAIN PROBLEM WITH THE WHOLE THING WAS THE CIVILIAN MEDICAL PEOPLE. I MEAN DOCTORS REALLY HAD NO IDEA. I HAD AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST SHOW UP WITH A BLACK BAG FULL OF DRUGS. I MEAN, LIKE YOU KNOW, AND HE WAS GOING TO ANESTHESIZE SOMEONE BEFORE HE TUBED THEM. HE HAD NO CONCEPT OF THE FACT THAT OUR PARAMEDICS TUBE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. AND HE REALLY HAD---I MEAN, HE MEANT WELL. I WOUND UP ASKING HIM TO LEAVE BECAUSE HE BECAME SUCH NUISANCE, YOU KNOW.
AT THAT TIME SOMEWHERE DURING THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT THURSDAY I MET A CHIEF SMITH. THERE WAS A FRANTIC RUSH BECAUSE HE HAD MISPLACED A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT ON ONE OF OUR GATORS AND HE WAS FRANTIC OVER IT. YOU KNOW NO ONE WOULD ELABORATE OVER THE RADIO WHAT IT WAS OR WHATEVER, AND WHEN I FINALLY TRACKED IT DOWN IT TURNED OUT TO BE A SCOTT PACK WITH A PIECE OF THE SKULL STILL ATTACHED TO IT, AND WOUND UP BEING CAPTAIN AMATO'S FROM SQUAD 1, SCOTT PACK
I HAD TOLD HIM BECAUSE WHEN I BROUGHT HIM TO THE MORGUE THE MORGUE WAS YOU KNOW BARELY SET UP, [INAUDIBLE] AND THE MARSHALS THAT WERE
THERE WE KIND OF KIND OF PEEKED OVER THEIR SHOULDER WHILE THEY WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHOSE IT WAS THE SQUAD 1 POSITION 1 , WHICH IS THE CAPTAIN FROM SQUAD 1
IN MY OPINION A LOT OF THE YOU KNOW, I'M IN CHARGE, I'M IN CHARGE, STARTED TAKING PLACE AND AT THAT POINT I HAD TO PULL MYSELF, BECAUSE IT WAS
DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BEGIN WITH. NATURALLY MY FAMILY WAS NOT HAPPY THAT I WAS THERE, ALTHOUGH THEY UNDERSTOOD AS BEST THEY COULD THAT'S WHERE I HAD TO BE. BUT WHEN YOU KNOW, THAT UGLY STUFF STARTED SHOWING ITS
FACE, I KNEW IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO BACK OUT OF THERE AND I WOUND UP LEAVING THERE.

When I got to the Vista Hotel, there was a member asking for assistance with moving a Lieutenant
from EMS in the basement of this hotel, which we went in. We found the member, he was a Lieutenant, again from EMS, I'm not sure what unit he was from. We put him on a backboard and carried him up the stairs and to a waiting police boat on the west side.
A. I believe Engine Company 226 was on our corner. I'm not sure. We do have a few photos.
Q. Before the both towers came down, you had responded on your own and you didn't see any units
other than 226?
A. At that time, no.
Q. What location did you see 226 at?
A. Right on the corner of Church and Vesey, opposite of Saint Pauls Church.
