However, it was Father Mychal Judge, a FDNY chaplin, that was the first official fatality of 9-11's twin tower attack. <br /><br />Most likely one of the airline pilots was murdered well before any impact, but if not, the pilots/terrorists in the cockpits were probably the true first fatalities, followed quickly by passengers and people on the impact floors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14726537.post-80888667866935608222008-01-25T00:40:00.000-05:002008-01-25T00:40:00.000-05:00You are right when you call Johnny and Roy, Firem...You are right when you call Johnny and Roy, Firemen, BUT REALLY....they were PARAMEDICS!! If you go watch the beginning of the series, Dr. Brackett testifies before the State of California Legislation....and thus the EMS Act of 1973 was passed in California created Emergency Medical Technicians.....which were Paramedics! This led to the ACT passing across the USA! We are now overseen by the DOT (Department of Transportation) and the training is killer! But VERY satisfying to see the differences you can be used to make in people's lives. (One little tidbit underpublished about 9/11...the first fatality at the Twin Towers was an EMS worker!) Much of our training sadly has come from wars and conflicts the world over. Things tried in the fields of these events and brought back to the classrooms to us...is used to fine tune our skills, so that more lives can be enriched. Johnny and Roy are the heroes of EMS (Emergency Medical Services) and Paramedics the world over.....Trust me....I am one of them...PROUDLY so!<BR/><BR/>Tennessee FEMALE Paramedic!!<BR/><BR/>I know I should have been Dixie, the nurse! Well, guess what....I am a Paramedic and a nurse!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14726537.post-1147713278757384292006-05-15T13:14:00.000-04:002006-05-15T13:14:00.000-04:00There is also a limited edition Hot Wheels version...There is also a limited edition Hot Wheels version of Squad 51...from a few years ago when the original was restored and sent to the Smithsonian for keeping...keep yur eyes open!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14726537.post-1147404580724586852006-05-11T23:29:00.000-04:002006-05-11T23:29:00.000-04:00I had no interest in being a fireman, but I though...I had no interest in being a fireman, but I thought the firemen were cool and a couple of them were cute. The suspense of what disaster or accident they would be handling was always fun, in a strange innocent sort of way.Chris Jarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236064370544823015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14726537.post-1147267368208661622006-05-10T09:22:00.000-04:002006-05-10T09:22:00.000-04:00I suppose kids were a little sturdier back then an...I suppose kids were a little sturdier back then and could handle the sight of a bloody head, ha.<BR/><BR/>This was a great, great show. What young person didn't want to be a firefighter after seeing that? Not sure if I would have gone for a ride on the yellow firetruck, though.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695039697676788817noreply@blogger.com
