I didn't know either but the link in post had links to other parts of the story.

Also hurt were 10 firefighters who dug through the rubble with their hands in search of survivors, even as flames shot through the wreckage.

Firefighters eventually heard Bartha yelling for help from deep under the ruins.

"I just told him we were going to get him out," said Firefighter Richie Schmidt of Rescue 4 in Queens, who was able to slip an oxygen mask to Bartha, an emergency room doctor affiliated with Lenox Hill and Mount Vernon hospitals.

When firefighters pulled the heavyset doctor out, he told them no one else was inside. Bartha suffered second- and third-degree burns over 60% of his body and was in critical condition at Weill Cornell.

Five pedestrians were also injured.
