Re: Rescue

The Eagle aerial rescue platform is extremely cool. It'd be thrilling to see one of those fly.

Does anyone know if the fire-suppression systems...even the lowly sprinkler systems...were functioning inside the WTC before the collapse (ie, did the attack knock them out of commission)? If so, did they have any measurable effect, or were they like a squirt-gun aimed at a forest fire?
