Look dude, I was there during the attack. I didn't see the first building collapse but I watched the second one fall. I could smell the smoke and all. After seeing everything that was goin on around the city I can't say that these guys are anything other than heros. I watched these guys rush to the scene all day with a look of terror in their eyes. After the first building collapsed they all know this could be their last call. It's not unlike a kid enlisting in the army when there is no war then all of a sudden war breaks out. That kid never imagined he could end up on a battlefield. Same thing applies here.
These dudes had to rush into one of the most horrifying scenes you could imagine. There was so much smoke no one could see or breathe. You could smell the burning, plastic, paper, steel, flesh... you name it. People were falling out of the sky. Everyone knew if you didn't make it out of the building after a certain time you were already dead but they had to go into the heart of this madness anyway. They didn't sign up for that. No one is 'prepared' for that. These were the same guys you could catch at a regular bar. They weren't some super prepared and trained 'hero' types. But they went in and saved whoever they could and died in the process.
How often does that happen?
