Does anyone know if this firefighter at the WTC was among those killed?

This picture is one that has always stuck in my head from that day. Was he ever identified? Was he among those killed?

Famous picture that got a lot of press at the time. He did get out.

I’m relieved and thrilled.

Cite? I hope you have one, I really do! Why didn’t you just automatically post one?

I couldn’t find one but I definitely remember it at the time. For a day or two there was buzz about the mystery fireman and then it came out that he got out alive.

A little Google found this. Not the best cite but apparently his name is Mike Kehoe.

Whew.

I’m so glad to read these articles.

God bless him. Sounds like a burden he’d really, really rather not bear.
