        Aren't those the guys who were quickly marched to ground zero while the ground was still very "hot"?

        My father and his team had to fly over the area measuring radiation at various intervals after the blasts. They'd land, get wanded, shower, then go back up and do it again.

        NPR had an interview with one of those guys a while back. They were in trenches, that partly collapsed from the explosion.

        Yea and I’m sure the cancer they got from watching was not considered “service related “
