Recalling from 9/11/2001 at the WTC in NYC:
“Ernest Armstead, a 30-year emergency medical specialist veteran of the fire department, almost seems to be pleading to make his psychic pain go away.
He recalls his nightmarish
experience: As he placed triage tags on fallen victims in the WTC plaza, a woman -- with only her head and right torso intact -- spoke to him.
"I am not dead," she said evenly. He placed a black tag, meaning dead or terminal, around her neck. "I am not dead!" she yelled.
And he lied to her: "We will be right back to you."
"That really resonated with me," Murphy said. "Would that be the moment I say, 'Enough'?"”
