I dont think comparing Bachar to a 9-11 firefighter is fair at all. In fact its probably kind of offensive. I mean those firefighters were going in to directly save peoples lives knowing they might die. I dont think Bachar was climbing to save someones life directly, like a person was stuck on a ledge or anything.

If a firefighter ran into a burning building with one one in it just because he liked the thrill of putting out fires, what would you say of him then if he died?

Not putting down Bachar here I'm just saying...
