GETTIN’ SALTY EXPERIENCE PODCAST Ep.223 : Tonight Thursday Oct 3rd at 8pm on our Youtube Channel. Our special guest will be 30 year FDNY Lt. Mickey Kross. He worked with the NYPD from 1968-71 and then the NYC Transit Authority from 1971-1976.

On 9/11, Lieutenant Kross was doing paperwork at FDNY Engine Company 16 firehouse when his company received the order to dispatch to the World Trade Center. He reported to the North Tower’s 23rd floor. Upon orders to evacuate, he was descending stairwell B when the building collapsed. Lt. Kross curled his body into a corner of the stairwell. A few hours later, sheltered by the stairway, he and 11 other members of the FDNY, a PAPD officer, and one civilian emerged relatively unscathed into a landscape of twisted steel and rubble.
