s1ugg0 comments on Rumor has it he did this even with bone spurs: ""Private Emmanuel Mensah selflessly ran into super heated neurotoxins without a breathing apparatus to save his neighbors. He selflessly venture into the immediately IDLH environment repeatedly to effect rescue."
Make absolutely no mistake. This man suffered to save these people. And he consciously made the choice more than once. To put it another context this is like him running repeatedly into enemy fire, getting shot each time, and still going back to help more people. And, personally, I'd rather be shot then breath in toxic smoke that is a few hundred degrees. In fire school they tell you if you run out of air you should try to keep your mask on and asphyxiate instead of breathing that smoke. Please think about that for a moment. It is literally preferable to be suffocated to death than to breath that smoke. That is what they teach us at the fire academy.
America as a whole is worse off without him. The world is worse off without him."
