And then, it pretty much went to shit right after that.
Incredible how Engine 7/Ladder 1 were some of the 1st companies there and they didn't lose a single man. Does anybody know if Chief Pfeifer's aide(who was driving and asked "Where am I goin' with this?") die?
Does anyone know who were the first units on the scene initially? I know it was pretty chaotic and many companies just responded right off the bat, but I would assume everybody in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Battalions went when the first plane hit.
FDNY1075 - I think it is logical that E-7 and L-1 wouldn't lose a man, because they were in the North Tower. Most of the heaviest loss came when the South Tower collapsed, and a lot of the units that lost men were the Brooklyn and Midtown Manhattan units, who would be operating in the South Tower, if I remember correctly. Units in the North Tower had time to get out when the order for evacuation was given by Chief Pfeifer. I think his aide did survive, because I think he was interviewed for the documentary.
First units on scene (according to all I have read) were E-10, E-7, E-55, E-6, L-10, L-1, L-8 and B-1. If I am wrong, please let me know.
