Daniel Thomas "Danny" Suhr (August 21, 1964 – September 11, 2001)[2] was a New York City Fire Department (FDNY) firefighter who was killed when a victim falling from the South Tower landed on him during the September 11 attacks. He was the first firefighter to be killed while responding to the attacks on the Twin Towers.[3][4][5]

Death

Before the Twin Towers collapsed, numerous people were witnessed jumping or falling from the upper floors of the burning towers, almost all from the North Tower. In spite of there only being three documented falls from the South Tower,[6] one such victim collided with Suhr as he reported to the South Tower, crushing his skull and killing him. The 9/11 Commission wrote in its report that, "The first FDNY fatality of the day occurred at approximately 9:30 when a civilian landed on and killed a fireman near the intersection of West and Liberty streets."[7]
