@alixabeth @NormOrnstein A crew from Brooklyn dispatched moments after the first plane hit. They got stuck in traffic in the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. They ditched the rig and walked the rest of the way. They were at the Trade Center moments after the second plane hit. They all died that day. All heroes.
