Sergeant Frank
Geremida heard about the strike on the WTC. He gathered a group of officers and
they set off. Just before they reached the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel they saw the
building burning. They went through the tunnel just as one of the buildings was
collapsing and thought the tunnel had been bombed.
Somehow they managed
to escape and assisted many pedestrians escape the tunnel. Later they managed to
go on through and were one of the first to search after the collapse for their
fellow officers including their buddy Officer Paul Jurgens.
Frank was
instrumental in the clean up at Ground Zero and orchestrated the removal of the
hoards of gold from the collapsed towers.
