The WTC area, on 9/11, was not a place where untrained personnel were needed, or wanted. Everybody in lower NYC was told to evacuate the buildings and go home. If they had not done this, and people had gone to the scene of the attack, there would have been more havoc and deaths. I would think that you'd know this, having been in the Marines.
