9/11: Too gruesome to ever forget

Retired New York City Police Officer recalls day of attack

SOUTH GLENS FALLS — Every Sept. 11, retired New York City Police Officer Hazamoon Lisa Cahill relives the images, smells and sensations of a day too gruesome to look at and too haunting to forget.

And as she recounts the details of the attack from her South Glens Falls home on Friday, she must repeatedly pause the telling to garner the strength to continue. But she does because she said the stories of the people of 9/11 deserve to be told. Must be told.

“Their voices should be heard,” Cahill, 45, said.

Officer Cahill was stationed at One Police Plaza with the Headquarters Security Unit, working for the police commissioner along with her NYPD partner, Anaya Price.

Federally trained in bomb and contraband detection, she was certified by the U.S. Marshall’s Services to operate a magnetometer — which uses an electromagnetic field to detect metal objects, such as concealed handguns — and for more than seven years she and Price protected the commissioner and other city officials.

Cahill recalls a New York Daily News story on Sept. 10, 2001. It was about a bombing in Israel. “I said to someone, ‘Thank God we don’t have to deal with this on U.S. soil,’ ” she said.

On 9/11, she went to work like always: Roll Call, 0710 hours.

Florida nuclear plants to shut ahead of Hurricane Irma

(Reuters) - Electricity generator Florida Power & Light said on Thursday it will shut its two nuclear power plants before Irma comes ashore as a very powerful hurricane.

FPL, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Inc, generates enough power for about 1.9 million homes at the Turkey Point and St. Lucie plants, which are both along Florida’s Atlantic Coast, about 20 feet (6 meters) above sea level.

“We will safely shut down these nuclear plants well in advance of hurricane-force winds, and we’ve finalized plans for that shutdown,” FPL spokesman Rob Gould told a news conference.

The company will adjust the plans as necessary, “depending upon the path of the storm,” Gould said. He would not comment on exactly when the plants would be taken down or how long they could be shut.
