On 9/11, my partner and I were assigned to assist another crew carrying a patient down in the North Tower. We somehow managed to meet them on floor 22, where all four of us brought a woman with severe fractures down to the street. If we assume each flight of stairs, floor to floor, is the usual 14 steps, that's 308 steps from the lobby.I still don't know how we actually pulled that off...but it is known that firefighters actually reached the burning floors in both towers before they collapsed, evidence of the superhuman strength and bravery exhibited by these heroes at the hour of their death. |
