September 11, 2001
Hatzalah members were among the first responders to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Alongside other rescue workers, Hatzalah volunteers rescued, treated, and transported countless victims of the terrorist attack. In the process they earned great respect from their peers in the emergency service community.
Although they were not dispatched by the city's 911 system, and a printout of the 911 job from FDNY EMS, does not list them as responding units, audio tapes of Hatzalah members calling for help include the collapse of the first tower, and photos of Hatzalah ambulances and the cars of Hatzalah members destroyed .
