19 Firefighters Dead

This is one of the families. I saw her interviewed this morning. It was very moving. She wanted us to know her husband and she was able to hang in there and share a little. She has four kids under the age of eight. It was heartbreaking listening to her. I don't think there is anything in life to prepare someone for this kind of horror.

This is just heartbreaking. Imagine the devastation of losing her husband but the fear of raising their kids alone. Having to look into their little faces and know they lost their father. She can at least tell them he died a real hero. Although at this point I don't think that gives her much comfort.
