Hatzalah volunteers recall the medical response that carried a neighborhood ambulance service into the immense emergency at the World Trade Center.
After watching
What this film opens up
A neighborhood emergency system becoming part of a response far larger than its ordinary daily work. Hatzalah's historical account identifies one of its ambulances as the first ambulance to reach the World Trade Center and describes volunteers treating and transporting patients while the attack was still unfolding.
Outside the frame. The claim is specifically that a Hatzalah ambulance was the first ambulance to arrive. It should not be widened into a claim that Hatzalah supplied the first emergency unit overall; firefighters, police officers, and other responders were arriving through their own systems.
