Podcasts about Lower Manhattan

Fifteen years after Occupy Wall Street began in Zuccotti Park, NYC Now returns to WNYC's archives to ask what the movement changed, where it fell short and what remains today. WNYC reporter Stephen Nessen reflects on covering Occupy in real time, while City Council member Sandy Nurse looks back on her experience inside the movement and the path that eventually took her from activism into elected office.Photo: Getty/Paul McKinnon Got any questions, comments or story ideas?

The 25th anniversary of September 11th this year coincides with Rosh Hashana. What can we learn from this powerful convergence?Every one of us remembers exactly where we were on September 11, 2001. I remember it vividly. I went to the rooftop of my office building in Brooklyn and saw the two towers smoking—already struck, already devastated.Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives. Lower Manhattan, the heart of the world's financial center, seemed to have been destroyed beyond repair.  The Twin Towers' shocking collapse inflicted such trauma that many wondered if we could ever recover.  But it wasn't only the buildings that were shaken. The American psyche was shaken. The threat of terrorism, which had seemed so far away, had suddenly arrived at our doorstep.No one knew what would happen next. There was confusion, fear, uncertainty.September 11th fell on a Tuesday, just days before Rosh Hashana. I remember spontaneously writing a heartfelt article  titled, “Today the World Trembles. Today the World Is Born.” It was inspired by the words of the Rosh Hashana prayer: Hayom harat olam—today the world trembles and is born.The world certainly trembled that day. But, at the same time, the world was also being born.Twenty-five years later, look at Lower Manhattan. What seemed irreparably shattered was rebuilt. Not simply restored, but transformed—rising again in ways few could have imagined. Its population has tripled, social life is thriving -- the neighborhood has come roaring back, making it the envy of other U.S. downtowns.And that raises a profound question: What is the secret of rebuilding after destruction?This isn't only a question about cities and buildings. It is a question about each of us.We all experience moments when our own “towers” come crashing down—loss, disappointment, failure, confusion, emotional pain. Sometimes life can leave us feeling that something has been destroyed beyond repair.How do we rebuild?How do we grow through the pain rather than simply survive it?How do we transform what happened to us into something that strengthens us?Perhaps this is one of the deepest messages of Rosh Hashana: the power to begin again.Every year, we are given the opportunity not merely to turn the page, but to create a new beginning—to rebuild, renew, and become something greater than we were before.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for a special pre-Rosh Hashana program on September 11th as we explore The Power to Begin Again—the power to turn trembling into rebirth, destruction into rebuilding, and a new year into a new beginning.

In New York City this morning, the families of those killed at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, will gather for the 25th time to honor the dead one by one.Among those at ground zero will be an array of city officials who assured the public that it was safe to return to Lower Manhattan just weeks after the attacks.Today, Sally Goldenberg, a reporter who covers politics and government for The New York Times, and Dana Nelson, who attended school next to ground zero, reveal the 9/11 health crisis that has now claimed more lives than the terrorist attacks themselves.Guest: Sally Goldenberg, a reporter covering New York City politics and government for The New York Times.Background reading: Documents suggest that New Yorkers were misled about air quality after 9/11.Photo: Chang W.

Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, American Potential host David From sits down with John Byrnes, Strategic Director for Concerned Veterans for America, to remember the day that changed America and reflect on its lasting impact. John was a college student and National Guard soldier in New York City when the attacks began. He recalls hearing the sirens racing toward Lower Manhattan, watching the first tower collapse, and immediately reporting to his armory. By that evening, John and his fellow soldiers were providing security near Ground Zero, where he would spend nearly two weeks alongside police officers, firefighters, and other first responders during the rescue and recovery efforts. John also shares how 9/11 changed the direction of his own life, eventually leading to deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. He and David reflect on the thousands of lives lost, the Americans who answered the call to serve, and the extraordinary unity that swept across the country in the days and weeks following the attacks. Twenty-five years later, John looks back at the lessons of that day, the decisions America made in its aftermath, and why remembering our history remains essential to the country's future.

On 11 September 2001, suicide attackers hijacked two passenger planes flying over the eastern United States and crashed them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, causing both buildings to collapse. The attack killed 2,753 people. As smoke billowed from the burning towers, firefighters, police officers and paramedics from across New York City raced to the scene, climbing stairwells packed with fleeing civilians in an effort to reach those trapped. When the towers fell, hundreds of first responders were still inside, and in the years since, even more have died from illnesses linked to their time working in the toxic dust of Ground Zero. Twenty-five years on, Kirsty Wark travels to New York to bring together the first responders and survivors who lived through that morning. New York Fire Department Battalion Chief Joseph Pfeifer was the first commander on the scene, and later became planning chief for the rescue and recovery effort at Ground Zero. Office worker Richard Eichen, who escaped from the 90th floor of the North Tower. Jill Pila, whose husband Jim Gartenberg worked on the 86th floor. Former NYPD officer Judy Castro, who rushed to the North Tower to help evacuate the building. St John's Hospital paramedic Jimmy Dobson, who spent the day bringing the injured to safety from the streets surrounding Ground Zero. Rear Admiral Michael Day, who coordinated the evacuation of an estimated 500,000 people off the island of Manhattan later that day. And the novelist A.M. Homes, a longtime resident of New York, who witnessed the events of the day unfold from her apartment in Lower Manhattan.

Just before the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the city released more than 170,000 pages of records detailing its response to the terror attacks, including documents related to air quality following the collapse of the World Trade Center. After years of court battles and advocacy over what officials knew about the toxic conditions in Lower Manhattan, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the records could provide new insight into the city's response. Investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Kelly Mena and Bobby Cuza discussed the release and what it could reveal about prior administrations. After that, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said he was "offended" that Mamdani would attend this week's 9/11 memorial service. Giuliani, who was mayor during the Sept. 11 attacks, also made broader claims about Muslims seeking to take over the United States and Europe. Former Gov. George Pataki and City Council Member Vickie Paladino have also said Mamdani should not attend. The "Off Topic" team weighed in on the fight.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, the attacks continue to shape how public safety agencies prepare for catastrophic incidents. In this episode of Policing Matters, host Jim Dudley speaks with retired NYPD Lt. Nicholas Bavaro about the recovery operations that followed the collapse of the World Trade Center. Bavaro served in patrol, the Street Crime Unit and the NYPD Emergency Service Unit during his 20-year career. On Sept. 11, 2001, he responded to Lower Manhattan and spent the months that followed leading recovery operations at Ground Zero. Bavaro is the author of “The Big One: Reflections of an NYPD Lieutenant,” a memoir as told to Joe Badalamente about his career, the aftermath of 9/11 and the experiences that stayed with him long after retirement.

Two careers in the NYC Department of Correction put Phil Rizzo and Richard Palmer Jr. in the middle of September 11 from angles most people never hear about: Rikers Island security, emergency deployment into Lower Manhattan, and the unglamorous logistics that made the Ground Zero operation possible. We talk through what it felt like to watch the towers burn and fall, then step into ash, heat, and rubble with little protective equipment and a job that suddenly expanded far beyond jail walls. If you think “9/11 responders” only means a few agencies, this conversation will change your picture of that day.We also pull back the curtain on the DOC work that rarely makes headlines: helping stand up the Stuyvesant High School command post, running generators and supply convoys, supporting the boat lift that moved thousands by water, staffing the morgue operation, and sending teams to the Staten Island landfill for months. The department kept jails running while rotating hundreds of uniformed and civilian staff through 24-7 recovery efforts, a scale that surprises even experienced corrections professionals.Then we get into the aftermath that still isn't over: cancers, long-term illness, and the brutal fight for health care and benefits. Phil and Rich explain why correction officers were overlooked, how rosters and affidavits became lifelines, what it took to push the Zadroga Act and funding extensions, and why private insurance and workers' comp rules left many responders stuck in the middle. If “never forget” is going to mean anything, it has to include the people who kept showing up after the cameras left.Subscribe for more real stories from the profession, share this with someone who still thinks corrections is out of sight and out of mind, and leave a review with the moment that hit you hardest.Richard Palmer Email: chuckremlap@aol.comOne Voice United - https://onevoiceunited.org/Tunnels to Towers Foundation - https://t2t.org/National September 11 Memorial & Museum - https://www.911memorial.org/   ======================Visit Our Sponsors======================This podcast is sponsored by Command Presence Training https://www.commandpresence.net/Command Presence educates and empowers people everywhere, so they can serve the public.= = = = = = = = = = = = = Support the Show= = = = = = = = = = = = =NEW RELEASE — The Weight of Justice: Leadership Lessons from Inside America's Toughest Prisons: A Correctional Officer's JourneyBuy on Amazon or Kindle: https://amzn.to/3PLr5tRAvailable worldwide through Books2Read: https://books2read.com/WeightofJusticePOWER SKILLS: Emotional Intelligence and Soft Skills for Correctional Officers, First Responders, and BeyondAvailable on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4mBeog5See Michael's books and author updates at: www.CantrellWrites.com

On the week of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Paul Rieckhoff broadcasts from Lower Manhattan with the memorial lights going up over his shoulder — and a fresh wound reopened. A new report confirms what first responders, Stuyvesant students, and downtown families have said for a quarter century: city leaders knew the air was toxic and told the public it was safe anyway. They prioritized reopening the New York Stock Exchange over the health of the kids, the cops, and the firefighters. Paul's message is blunt: outrage and sadness get old. We need an action plan. If people lied about a public health catastrophe, they should go to jail — no matter who they are.This is a Media Blitz episode, he takes on Trump's prime-time convention flop — scheduled up against NFL kickoff, the US Open, and September baseball — and breaks down why Trump's sub-20% approval with independents is the real battleground of 2026. He connects the anniversary to Ukraine, where civilians live through a 9/11 every single day under Putin's bombs, and calls out the fantasy that a war criminal can be negotiated with as a peace partner. Rigorous, personal, and unflinching — this is what independent analysis sounds like when the person delivering it actually lived it.-WATCH full video of this episode here.-Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Michael Barasch, Barasch & McGarry's chief advocate for first responders and others harmed by toxic dust in Lower Manhattan caused by the September 11 attacks, joins Sid to discuss the newly released 9/11 air-quality records that the Mamdani administration says raise serious questions about what government officials knew regarding toxic conditions at Ground Zero.

Journalists Nicole Gelinas and Harry Siegel joined the show to discuss the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, how the city has and hasn't changed since, Mayor Mamdani's approach to the anniversary, the rebuilding and growth of Lower Manhattan, and more.

260910PC Darf ein Muslim an der Gedenkfeier für 9-11 teilnehmen?Mensch Mahler am 10.09.2026Familien von Opfern der Terroranschläge vom 11. September 2001 fordern, dass New Yorks Bürgermeister Zohran Mamdani nicht an der zentralen Gedenkveranstaltung zum 25. Jahrestag der Anschläge am Ground Zero teilnehmen darf. Sie werfen dem Politiker laut einem Bericht der »New York Post« vor, sich in der Vergangenheit nicht ausreichend von Terrorismus distanziert und Personen unterstützt zu haben, die die Anschläge verharmlost hätten.Giovanni Galante, dessen Ehefrau Grace Catherine Galante im Alter von 29 Jahren bei den Angriffen von al-Qaida getötet wurde, gehört zu den Initiatoren einer Petition gegen eine Teilnahme Mamdanis. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit sammelte die Initiative nach eigenen Angaben mehr als 1100 Unterschriften, darunter von mindestens 300 Angehörigen von 9/11-Opfern.»Dieser Tag ist für uns heilig«, sagte Galante gegenüber der Zeitung. Die Gedenkveranstaltung sei weder politisch noch eine Plattform für Menschen mit bestimmten Ansichten. Mamdanis Anwesenheit wäre »zutiefst verletzend und unangemessen – wie ein unerwünschter Gast bei einer sehr persönlichen Zeremonie«.Die Organisatoren der Petition hoffen, genügend Unterstützung zu erhalten, um die Stadtverwaltung und die Verantwortlichen des gemeinnützigen »9/11 Memorial & Museum« davon zu überzeugen, Mamdani von der Zeremonie am früheren Standort der Zwillingstürme in Lower Manhattan fernzuhalten.In der Petition werden zahlreiche Vorwürfe gegen den seit Januar amtierenden Bürgermeister aufgeführt. Kritisiert wird unter anderem, dass Mamdani sich geweigert habe, den Slogan »Globalize the Intifada« eindeutig zu verurteilen. Gegner der Parole sehen darin einen Aufruf zu Gewalt gegen Juden.Die Unterzeichner verweisen außerdem auf frühere Kontakte Mamdanis zu Personen, die sie als extremistisch einstufen. Dazu zählen etwa seine Verbindung zu Imam Siraj Wahhaj während des Bürgermeisterwahlkampfs sowie seine Unterstützung bestimmter politischer Kandidaten mit umstrittenen Aussagen zu den Anschlägen vom 11. September.Auch Mamdanis Ernennung von Ramzi Kassem zum Rechtsberater der Stadt wird in der Petition kritisiert. Kassem habe in der Vergangenheit juristische Vertretungen für Personen übernommen, die von den Initiatoren als Unterstützer oder Sympathisanten islamistischer Extremisten bezeichnet werden.

A pioneer in her field, Dr. Lukensmeyer has advised cities, states, federal agencies, and international institutions on participatory governance and democracy reform. 9/11: Reclaiming Ground Zero is available on Apple TV and Amazon.

It's been 25 years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. NY1 is marking the anniversary in a variety of ways, including a special episode of "You Decide" in which Errol Louis was joined by two longtime NY1 journalists who covered the attacks that day: Pat Kiernan and Cheryl Wills. Kiernan recalled learning that the first plane had struck the World Trade Center during his "In the Papers" segment and quickly switching to live pictures from Lower Manhattan. What followed was continuous, wall-to-wall coverage with no commercials for days. He described the initial confusion over what had happened, efforts to get NY1 crews downtown, and CNN carrying NY1's feed, which included the first live interview with then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Wills, then a health reporter, recalled seeing smoke from the World Trade Center while riding the LIRR, arriving at NY1, and racing downtown by motorcycle. She also discussed repeatedly working amid the smoke without a mask, later joining the World Trade Center Health Program, and reporting in the years that followed on the lasting health effects of 9/11 and the sensitive issues surrounding how the attacks are memorialized.

Journalist David Brand and housing advocate Annemarie Gray joined the show to discuss the saga over Lower Manhattan's Elizabeth Street Garden, which recently hit a major inflection point that may signal a final resolution leaving the garden a public park and advancing housing development at alternative sites. Brand, a housing reporter for WNYC and Gothamist, and Gray, executive director of Open New York, joined host Ben Max to discuss the specifics of the ESG story, but also what it means in the bigger picture of the city's housing politics and policy landscape. They also touched on several other housing issues in the conversation.

As America approaches the 25th anniversary of September 11, retired NYPD Detective Sergeant Mike Codella joins Tudor Dixon to share his extraordinary firsthand account of surviving the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Codella was off duty when the first plane struck, but after realizing America was under attack, he raced to Lower Manhattan and ran into the South Tower to help evacuate people. Moments later, the building began to collapse around him. Codella recalls being thrown by the force of the collapse, waking up surrounded by complete darkness and silence, and eventually finding his way to safety. He also remembers returning home that night to discover his family believed he had died at Ground Zero—and reflects on the remarkable unity, courage, and patriotism Americans showed in the days after 9/11. Tudor and Codella discuss why younger generations must be taught what happened on September 11, the importance of remembering the first responders and ordinary Americans who became heroes, and whether America has forgotten some of the lessons learned after the attacks. They also examine Codella's decades fighting crime in New York City, Rudy Giuliani's approach to policing, the consequences of soft-on-crime policies, and Codella's upcoming book, The Evil That Walked New York, which explores some of the darkest criminal cases and mysteries he encountered during his career.Never forget September 11, 2001—and never stop telling the stories of the people who lived it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is your morning All Local update for August 17th, 2026.

In a plan that's now being echoed by the Trump administration, New York City has helped close to 400,000 public school students and their families pay for college by creating savings accounts, which include start-up seed money. Joining NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the program was City Council Speaker Julie Menin, who helped launch NYC Kids RISE in 2015 when she was the city's Consumer Affairs Commissioner. In their conversation, Menin also reflected on her career and her path into politics, including her work rebuilding Lower Manhattan after the Sept. 11 attacks and her push to release long-withheld 9/11 files. She also outlined her responsibilities as council speaker and her current priorities, including an oversight hearing on Legionnaires' disease; a proposed ban on horse-drawn carriages; and the creation of an office dedicated to insurance accountability.

In 2007, excavators dug 70-odd years' worth of trash and debris from a cave in Hoboken, New Jersey. It had once been a popular recreation spot, and home to a natural spring that was supposed to have healing properties. But then in 1841 everything changed when the body of a young woman – a beautiful young “cigar girl” well-known in Lower Manhattan – turned up by the cave. The murder shocked and fascinated the people of New York and New Jersey and activated fears about many social issues of the day. It also caught the attention of one guy you've definitely heard of... Edgar Allan Poe, who used the story as inspiration for one of the first detective stories ever written.  Sibyl's Cave… a hidden wonder...and the possible birthplace of “true crime”?

Eddie Huang is a chef, restaurateur, food personality, filmmaker, and polmath widely recognized for his bestselling memoir, Fresh Off the Boat, which inspired the hit ABC sitcom of the same name.

Are software "patches" really the key to securing America's voting system—or just the latest administrative shell game designed to preserve a broken status quo? In this explosive episode, we dismantle recent media narratives around electronic voting machines and the fierce backlash ignited across the election integrity movement. Featuring sharp commentary from Joe, we break down why quick technical fixes fail to restore public trust and why the demand for truly free, fair, and transparent elections is stronger than ever.Joining the broadcast is David Clements, host of The Professor's Record, to deliver a hard-hitting analysis of what real political accountability must look like. Together, we expose the systemic gaslighting pushing through the political landscape—from Virginia Senator Mark Warner's shifting rhetoric on Voter ID to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's partisan attacks on election integrity advocates.Beyond the ballot box, the fallout of compromised leadership and unchecked deception is reaching a boiling point. We unpack the growing climate of division and unrest across the country, examining the dramatic arson attempt outside Lower Manhattan's federal court, radical posturing at the College Democrats convention, and severe international security warnings issued to Americans. Tune in for an unvarnished, high-stakes discussion on the chaos created by stolen trust—and what citizens must do to reclaim the nation.

Manifesto, Weapons & Fire: Did the FBI Get This Right?  A man allegedly ignited fireworks and a gasoline-fueled fire outside 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan, prompting an immediate arrest and an investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. Retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon examines the suspect's reported weapons, anti-ICE materials and alleged manifesto—and explains what investigators must prove before this can be classified as domestic terrorism. Was this a protest that escalated into violence, or a planned attack on the federal government? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

At least 3 people were injured Monday morning when an anti-ICE terrorist tried to firebomb the federal building in Lower Manhattan. The terrorist was arrested by authorities.

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. The big question: Should the U.S. have signed that peace deal with Iran? Ken also recaps the massive Knicks' ticker tape parade in Lower Manhattan, where two million people turned out, and things stayed mostly safe and celebratory. Zohran Mamdani's speech at the parade made waves for its delivery and content, sparking plenty of debate. Ken tries to explain why capitalism can work and shares his thoughts on how to make the most of it. There's also news from Massachusetts, where 11 people, allegedly illegal immigrants, were charged with fraudulently obtaining food stamps. Ken takes your calls!  Ken interviews Maria Intscher-Owrang, co-founder of Simplifyber. Maria's company is shaking things up in the world of plant fiber manufacturing. She explains that they're finding ways to cut down on waste before products are even made, which is a huge deal for sustainability. Instead of the usual spinning, weaving, cutting, and sewing, they use 3D technology to create fabric in completely new ways. It's a fresh take that could really change how sustainable materials are made.

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. Ken kicks things off by reflecting on the history and meaning of Juneteenth, especially as we celebrate the 2026 holiday. Iran claims to have closed the Strait of Hormuz again, which is causing a stir since VP JD Vance's trip to sign a ceasefire deal has now been called off. Ken explains how Zohran Mamdani's accent seems to shift, sharing a bit about Mamdani's background along the way. And what exactly is socialism? Ken breaks it down. Ken interviews John Boyd Jr. from The Boyd Company. John explains why business policies matter so much when companies decide where to set up shop. Samsung's decision to move out of New Jersey comes up, with both Ken and John pointing to the financial challenges companies face in the state. They also talk about Governor Mikie Sherrill's recent efforts to lower energy costs and how her strategies stack up to what Governor Josh Shapiro has done in Pennsylvania, which is shaping up to be a positive outcome.  Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone.

 Far Left & Right Dominate Another Rigged Primary Day. Knicks/Spurs Back at MSG. Hilton Beats Steyer in CA. Jimi Hendrix Gets His Way. It's a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Wednesday and Paul is sounding the alarm. Game four of the NBA Finals tips off tonight at Madison Square Garden, but the real story is bigger than basketball. A Spurs fan got jumped in New York. Young men across America are jobless, hopeless, and furious. Trump has already named New York and Chicago as cities he wants to send troops into. Steve Bannon is calling ICE airport operations a dress rehearsal for the fall elections. And Pete Hegseth just flew to Gitmo with conspiracy-pusher Laura Loomer in tow — not the Washington Post, not even Fox — because Cuba is next and they aren't even hiding it. Paul connects the dots between a potentially violent summer at home, CENTCOM's ongoing strikes inside Iran, the rigged primary system that just disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of independents in California and Maine, and the open primaries fight quietly unfolding in Lower Manhattan under Mamdani's new charter commission. This is a no-BS warning to the angry middle: stay out of the fistfights, stay out of the extremist groups, look out for the young men in your life, and refuse to give Trump the excuse he's desperate for. Righteous anger, channeled into real impact.
