These people [the firefighters] are some of the most generous, selfless, and amazing people I have ever had the opportunity to meet. If you can say that about a group of people who would not only forgive you for dragging their name through the mud, but would still save you should your house ever catch fire, then you dont deserve their kindness.

When the plane his the second tower you immediately had approximately twice as many people to rescue and consequently, in my opinion, have a rescue operation that has doubled in size. I am a firefighter and can tell you that none of the men and women who responded to that incident where thinking of being heroes, they were doing their job. I am also tired of the hero talk, as I am sure most of the firefighters who survived 9/11 are. I peronally think they did heroic things and deserve some recognition. I don't however, feel their heroism and sacrifice should be politicized. I can tell you heroic things were done before 9/11 and are being done today, firefighters are what they are, because they do the things they do people think they are heroes, but very few firefighters are comfortable with that thought. I hope your comments are based on the fact that there was quite a bit of politics involved in the statements. I do agree that the decision to evacuate early by Morgan Stanley was an excellent one, however without being in the situation it is unfair to question the deputy safety fire director's (what ever that is) decision making process, I am sure many factors had to be considered. All in all I think you are not educated enough in fire/rescue strategies, tactics or procedures to make the assumptions you are making.

I am a fire fighter and we lost 343 fellow brave fireman in that disaster that struck this nation. "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends." ~~John 15:13~~ I want to see your ass get into full bunker gear, an airpack, and all the rest equipment that each man carries you sorry piece of shit. Actually, take that back because that would be an insult to the heros that lost their lives. The last thing that i have to say is that you are an ignorant asshole and you should go screw yourself.
