The Westlake Porter Public Library invited guests to view a video about 9/11 at the AMC movie theater in Rocky River
The video highlighted what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, but it was done in still photos rather than the violent action we all witnessed over and over on the day it actually happened and many days forward. The technique of stills provided a measure of relief.Mark Bobal, a civilian with the Coast Guard today: 9th Coast Guard District Prevention Division, Passenger Vessel Safety Specialist Retired Commander at East 9th Street. He said he was stationed back then in New York with the U.S.
During the next three weeks, Bobal and others were working 12 hours a day. “By mid-December, we were on eight-hour shifts at a new Office of Emergency Management at Pier 92. Then we went back to our regular jobs. The waterways opened up and we went back to ship inspections. But then we heard rumors.”
“Our first indication that something happened was when the first plane hit tower one on the north side. We saw the largest fire ball you can imagine exploding out of the back side of the tower. “At the lobby we exited the building to witness people jumping down out of the flames of tower one. We also witnessed a smoldering jet engine the size of an automobile embedded in the sidewalk.
“We got off at Avenue A and found a workman with a van. We gave him all of our money,” Bobal admitted, “and he drove us to midtown, a location where we could begin to move on back to our homes and families.”
