True, and there's no way that she was the only person who was still alive at that point.

I find it unbelievable unfathomable that the firefighters would tried to be blamed while doing everything in their power working in extremely unstable dangerous and potentially deadly environments! There are those situations such as this collapse that conditions go beyond the capability of humanity and equipment. The firefighters apparently did all they could do considering trying to rescue while enduring toxic, unstable collapsed structural components, potential explosive atmosphere, and dangerous obstacles, unfortunately the firefighters just couldn't complete the successful rescue. So sorry for all the losses in the horrific tragedy!!!
