I remember saying to the guys,
"Well, we're on our own now. "

:52:04
For the first time, I looked in someone
else's eyes and saw fear...

:52:10
...which you don't see with firemen.
:52:13
We orderly evacuated.
It was such a long walk. 20...

:52:16
...17, 16, 15, 14, 13...
:52:19
I was going down the stairs. I remember
a fireman resting on the landing,

:52:24
and telling them, "We've heard
a mayday. Get out of the building."

:52:29
I don't think... I know a lot of them
did not take it serious.

:52:33
You start to feel your anxiety build up.
Take a deep breath,

:52:37
and you say, "It's gonna be all right.
Let's keep going."

:52:41
"I got brothers ahead of me, brothers
behind me. We're in this together."

:52:45
"And we're gonna do
what we have to do."

:52:48
Sarge?
:52:51
- Hey, Pete!
- Come on!

:52:55
I was not consciously filming.
I had my camera by my side,

:52:59
pointing the light
wherever they needed.

:53:02
They needed my light
to actually help someone

:53:05
and then I realised
it was Father Judge.

:53:09
Hey, guys, we need a hand here.
:53:14
We saw him lying at the base
of the escalator, where we were.

:53:18
I removed his white collar
and I opened up his shirt.

:53:23
And I remember checking for his
pulse and realising at that time...

:53:29
...that he was gone.
:53:37
Fellas, top of the escalator right here.
Off it, right here.

:53:44
- Guys, let's go.
- Come on, let's go.

:53:47
Top of the escalator.
:53:49
Top of the escalator.
:53:56
After that, we had to figure out
how to get out of where we were.
