You have to understand the psychology of "first responders" - like it or not, many are drawn to the profession by the prospect of calamity and the excitement of dire emergency. That's probably as it should be. But in modern times, this I think has become pathological. It's directly responsible for the catastrophic loss of life among firefighters on 9/11. And in this case, you have a contingent of folks who mostly are bored senseless because aviation is so safe, and then they are called into action and fail completely. This is a systemic problem across police and firefighting forces everywhere. It needs to be addressed.
