How the Troubles Began in Northern Ireland. Eight on-duty EMTs and paramedics were killed on September 11, According to a Wikipedia article , Hamdani was on his way to work at Rockefeller University, but after the attack went to the scene to help. His body, identified with DNA match, was found with his medical bag and identification in the North Tower rubble. Hamdani is listed on panel S , the north edge of the South Memorial Pool, an area for people who worked in or were visiting the South Tower or other areas of the complex.
He appears on panel S with two other court officers. This year and in the years ahead, I will pause to silently remember and reflect on the selfless service of Quinn, Lillo, Fairben, Santoro, Schwartz, Merino, Pearlman and Sullins. And I will also remember Simpson, Hamdani and Wallace as caregivers who undoubtedly were serving others.
Note: this article was updated on October 11, with additional information about Mohammad Salman Hamdani. Greg served as the EMS1 editor-in-chief for five years.
He has a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master's degree from the University of Idaho. Previously, firefighters would run right past EMS crews with an injured firefighter, not knowing exactly where to take them. I care. I want to help him. FDNY also now offers a formal rehab process for its members at all major incidents. You have to figure out a way to collaborate.
It has also established inter-agency liaisons with police and fire to address issues before they become unmanageable. But even with diligent re-triaging, these patients can get lost in a mass-casualty incident.
The orange tag category now allows EMS personnel to identify these patients early as a medical triage and get them the treatment they need.
Those who are still on the job are different. For others, it may be just another piece of equipment to leave on the ambulance. Orlando Martinez was promoted to lieutenant this past February.
The responders are now aware of all the exits when they are in public places. Everyone has their own ideas about what the next attack would look like. It may not be a terrorist attack; it could be a tornado. Rather than focus solely on terrorist attacks, FDNY takes an all-hazards approach to major incidents, something Cassano says all emergency providers, no matter where they live, should consider.
The key is to provide for the safety of emergency workers so they can provide for the safety of the public they serve. Cassano says that the personnel at FDNY feel a profound gratitude for all the assistance they received following the attacks and they want to give back. Each responder realizes that they must move on with some semblance of normalcy in their lives. She then assumed the position of on-site EMS coordinator. The plane crashed into unsettled Earth, which was then thrust into the air and completely covered in the ground.
There was very little debris and even fewer pieces that appeared to be from a plane. Several days after the incident, when I was made aware that the plane was actually beneath the ground where we first parked and walked, I could not fathom the possibility of it all.
I remember that it was one of the most beautiful fall days I could ever recall. The sky was bright blue, and the sun was shining. Christian Boyd, a full-time EMT with Somerset Ambulance that day, realized that in less than five minutes, there were no survivors, and there would be few intact bodies to be recovered. Boyd says that no matter how he tries to forget the crash of Flight 93, he still has vivid memories and subtle reminders of the incident.
