How many of those firefighters ran into the building knowing it was going to collapse? I most definately consider most firefighters as heros but I give no special status to the ones that one present in nyc on the 11th. All firefighters that die in the line of duty deserve the same honor and recognition.
On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. - Charles Babbage

Most of them wouldn't go into a bombed building in the first place either. Also, let's not forget the ones that didn't run after the first tower fell (they had plenty of time to run btw).

I don't know about heros, but if I were to have the opportunity to meet anyone, I'd almost certainly choose Richard Feynman[^], with Lynn Conway[^] coming a close second.

I think at times there is a very large gap between believing you can do something and believing you can not. In the first case, they most assuredly believed they could get the people out safely. In the second case, they probably most assuredly believed they could not.
Any sufficiently gross incompetence is nearly indistinguishable from malice.

Seeing a house burning and doing their job is one thing. But seeing the unimaginable, unspeakable happen, and going back to work is special.
