How many people were literally saved that day from death or potentially dying vs how many have now died responding.
And shouldn't those saved also have been some what affected health wise?
Which leads me to conclude that responding was ultimately not one which made sense on a pure math approach.
You don't sacrifice XXXX's perhaps XXXXX's to save XX? maybe XXX's?
It is a very cold way to look at it but at some point you have to "do the math".
Not a popular topic to bring up but someone has to because if it happened again in the future, who's the moron running into that? It sounds brave and courages and thoughtful or heroic but odds are literally against it, sorry. XXXX people get to die to pull XX-XXX from rubble or yell "run" when that basic instinct already kicked in. In fact people.com just stated as many as 10,000 could be affected.
Fire suit on.
Don't get me wrong, I understand they were doing their job and a basic instinct to help also exists so likely would do again but if we don't think that after seeing that result of helping that the next generation of responders doesn't think twice we are kidding ourselves.
