Ladder 3 Was Driven By First Responders During 9/11
First responders during the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001, charged into the disarray and chaos of that tragic morning. A lot of them did not make it out of there. There is now a piece of equipment standing as a monument to the courage they displayed: Ladder 3. Captain Patrick Brown and firefighters drove it, but they did not survive when the North Tower fell on the front of the truck. That part of the vehicle had been ripped off as the structure collapsed and had been left to fester in the mess. After cleaning up that area, that truck was put in a hangar at the JFK International Airport but was later relocated to the Memorial Museum in 2011.
Whiskey Legend Jack Daniel Died After Kicking His Safe Out Of Frustration
Wow, talk about a way to go. Alcohol industry legend Jack Daniel died after an ordeal with his safety in Lynchburg, Tennessee on October 9, 1911. The safe did not fall on him nor did he try detonating it with dynamite. No, he wanted to fetch paperwork inside of it but could not remember the code! He started to kick it, which did not do anything but give him an infection on the big toe. It later turned gangrenous and then spread to the other parts of his body. The good thing was that he was able to turn the business over to Lem Motlow, his favorite nephew before he died from complications.
