There's an ariticle today in the New York Times' Circuits Section about digital photography and how it worked out better for journalists at the WTC disaster. In it, one paragraph sticks out:

David Handschuh, a staff photographer for The Daily News, was blown a block away by the force of the implosion at the trade center. He credits emergency workers, who pulled him from the rubble three times that day, with saving his life.

Who the hell does this guy think he is? If emergency workers had to pull this guy out three times, it means that they were not able to help other victims at the scene. It's pretty damned selfish to be taking up that much time of the workers and then putting yourself in a situation where you would need help again.
