As a veteran volunteer fire fighter, as well as a filmmaker, I wanted to share my experience of what it was really like at Ground Zero from the perspective of the rescue and recovery workers. |
Driving a fire truck is always a thrill. Is it better than sex? No! |
It's one thing to be brave -- another to be stupid! |
It's the hope of all firefighters that there are people still in there. |
The secret to the future is not about survival, it's about unity. |
There are moments when you have to just walk away and cry. |
There's a bunch of coffee cups out, and coffee made. |
We don't negotiate the deal. We're just the matchmakers. |
We just had to tell the stories of these amazing volunteers, who left their families and jobs in some case to work around the clock at the most dangerous disaster site in history—Ground Zero. |
