New York has released partial tapes of emergency calls from the World Trade Center on 9/11 for the first time.
Nearly nine hours of calls show the responses of emergency operators to callers amid the chaos of the attacks.
The words were released following a lawsuit filed by the New York Times and a group of victims' relatives.
In the video that accompanied this story on the BBC News website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4866208.stm) we hear the voice of Christopher Handley who made an emergency call that morning, and said at the end of his conversation, "...alright, please hurry"
It seemed to give his father immense comfort to hear his son's last words, and even more apparent joy to hear that his son used the word "please". As his father says, "And it's nice that he said please"
I think that's a beautiful thing.
