Comment by 343 - Never Forget on November 19, 2009 at 1:19am - At one point 6 people on the roof and not a single one of them on air? Shortly therafter, a 7th person goes on the roof (came from the interior through a window) and at least they have the smarts to actually be breathing air during roof operations with active fire below! Sometime later you'll notice a 2nd person on air but not sure if it is actually the same person since the video jumps a few times? But I guess it wouldn't matter if all you're breathing is smoke and products of combustion of a fire, right? I mean it does appear that smoke in PA doesn't create an IDLH atmosphere, so carry on!
