The 343
When everyone was rushing out, they were the ones rushing in. After the collapse, and well in to the next day, rescue workers at the sight heard noises that sounded like a chorus of crickets.
They came from the VIPER, a locating beacon worn by emergency workers. When the worker does not move for several seconds, the beacon goes off. The longer the person does not move the louder the chirpping.
On 9/11 the vipers were chirrping underneath the massive pile of rubble. The noise was extremely loud, because 343 beacons were all going off at the same time.. A haunting reminder to all those there of the sacrifice and lives lost.....
