I was working maintenance then. Of the terminal itself.

That day I was checking the fire system. The individual smoke detection pucks on the ceiling.

I had a giant pipe. A cup at the end.

I鈥檇 cover the alarm with the cup. An spray fake smoke to it to make sure it responded.

Now each time I鈥檇 tell the central control to turn off that alarm. So that it wouldn鈥檛 cause a missive alarm to the terminal.

Except this one puck, in OUR terminal ACTUALLY didn鈥檛 belong to us but to the US Port Authority.

One min I鈥檓 doing my job. The next min deafening alarms are going of.

I remeber standing there watching giant doors roll down from the ceiling. Lights flashing. People panicking.

New Yorkers being New Yorkers... they鈥檇 just throw their language under the door then slide under following it. Like it was a space ship an they were trying to get to their escape pods.


I didn鈥檛 get fired till the following week. When I made every escalator go up.

Now I鈥檓 in the us Navy 馃槒
