Transport Workers Union Local 100 honored eight MTA unsung heroes on Monday.
"I started having flashbacks. I was right there in the middle of things."As we near the 22nd anniversary of 9/11 where pandemonium broke out, leaving thousands in hysteria, Transport Workers Union Local 100 honored eight MTA unsung heroes Monday, replaying images that felt like yesterday for retired train operator Carlos Johnson.
He and 1,000 other transit workers stood shoulder to shoulder with firefighters, police and EMT clearing debris, touching scorching metal and transporting New Yorkers from what looked and felt like a war zone to safety, suffering medical conditions as a result. "We were only doing our jobs, we’re not looking for anybody pat us on the back, but it’s nice to be recognized.""Like I said, he owns a piece of real estate in my heart," Soto said. "I’ll never forget him. I know that one day we’ll be together, he owns a big piece of real estate in my heart."
