I don't know. They might have just been hamming it up for the benefit of the story. Those guys all have a seemingly weird attitude towards death, often appearing somewhat blasé about it. They can't take things too personally when someone dies while they're working on them. Me? I build websites. If something blows up it can always be fixed. New hardware can be bought. Back ups restored. Apart from some downtime, everything is as good as new. Them? Turn up on a job not necessarily knowing what to expect. Some times they'll find a situation they can literally do nothing about and, oooops, someone's dead. Someone dying in front of me is an incredibly bad day at the office i'll never forget. Watching people die as an emergency responder is kinda part of the job description.
