You can find you more about the topic in these forums. The photos were taken from my building. They are the same drums on the website. I've come across more of these drums lately as they have not been all discarded but not have come across any with the contents intact. Those gummy bear type ration in the words of a park ranger I know who discovered a can of those intact at an abandoned military base says, "how are you supposed to survive on gummy bears."

I have seen some of those cans of crackers being auctioned on ebay....

Once in one of the schools I used to work they opened up the underground shelter the school had and it was like a time capsule.They have everything from food to medical kits to geiger counters that worked!!!1 :shock: :shock: We opened some of those crackers cans and I was the one that had valor enough to taste them :shock: .They where put there in the early 60's and the crackers tasted ok a lil' stale but edible after more than 40 years!!!! :shock: :shock: .This was in 2001 and I'm still alive.... :D

I bet they have a stable loooonnggg life..... :shock:

Peace!

Alarm? I would just put some ear protectors on and quickly take the drum :lol:

and by 9-11 survivor, do you mean that you were in one of the towers and escaped before it collapsed? or were in the surrounding or ????

Alarm and Nine Eleven

Post by jfko6 » Fri Oct 17, 2008 2:44 pm

I can tell you that the alarm that protects those stairwells are so loud hearing protection is useless. You need the key to get passed it.

As for 09.11.01 I was working on Water street seven short blocks from the Trade Center. You did not have to work in the towers to be affected. I can truly and faithfully say with my hand on the Bible that "though ye' walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod an your staff comforts me." The situation was truly grave for anyone working in or around the Trade Center.

I've highlighted the building that I worked in. I was going to give the address but left it out. It's the building far left in the screenshot.

As far as God's providence is concerned I have every reason to believe. My office was on the 49th floor with a birds eye center view of the trade center. That day we were working on the 3rd floor. Now that you had me look into it I can say for that reason it was an easy escape outside the building. As to why we were working on the 3rd Floor that day I can only say it was an act of providence. You need not have to been working in the Trade Center building to be severely affected as they were not the only buildings destroyed and leveled that day.

That alone makes me wonder how these people who doubt the existence of even a being which could have created the universe boggles the mind. You look at someone like yourself who has had a near death experience, and then take a look at the complexity of a single strand of DNA, and you wonder why anyone would think we are here by accident or by a fluke, although I am a Christian, I cannot say for sure there is a God, although I have faith, however I know for sure there has to be something outside of this dimension or something else which we do not know yet that created us.

How can there be an Atheist unless there is something to Atheate?
-Bishop Fulton Sheen

As far as God is concerned well the Devil believes in Him. No wait, he doesn't believe, he knows!

-JFK

P.S. That reminds me though; much has been said about the evil on nine eleven in the towers. I even heard
religious men talk about the video that I'm about to show. Believe it or not those who are believers took these videos very seriously. [Just let the video run and don't click on any Ads]
