Retired NYPD officer's 1st Precinct memo book now serves as a valued 9/11 artifact
The retired officer is sharing the memo book publicly for the first time as the 1st Precinct preserves it with other 9/11 artifacts.
- Officer Shaun McGill returned to the 1st Precinct and opened the memo book he carried 25 years ago on September 11, 2001, sharing its contents publicly for the first time.
- McGill was a rookie with only 18 months on the job when he responded to a 10-53 accident near the World Trade Center just as the first plane struck.
- After racing into the Marriott hotel to evacuate civilians, McGill survived the building's collapse, recalling, "I knew that I can't survive 110 stories falling down on my head."
- NYPD Chief of Department Michael LiPetri noted that of the thousands who responded that day, just over 900 remain on the force, calling the rescue operation "unbelievable."
- The 1st Precinct now preserves McGill's memo book alongside Officer Moira Smith's photograph, while McGill credits the World Trade Center Health Program for helping him speak about his experiences.
