Yeah. None of those police or firemen should have run into the WTC as the upper floors burned, dodging the splatterings of bodies hitting the sidewalk outside, trying to save lives. None of them should have spent days digging hoping for survivors, or months digging through the rubble trying to recover part of a foot, a tooth, a wallet, so a loved one could be identified. They should have known better. They should have quit on the spot as their rigs pulled up to the building. Refused to enter. Too bad you weren't there to tell them not to do it. The site should have been left as is with a huge fence around it. It's just part of their job to give their health and lives for the ungrateful and arrogant, and how dare they want their workmans comp - WC paid at the high rates of the most dangerous jobs in the world - to pay for the massive medical problems they contracted doing their job, giving 110%.
