Acorrding to (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=8615830) thousands of people lined up to pay respects to two of Philadelphia's finest. At St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic Church in Fox Chase Saturday morning as
family, friends and strangers waited to get in for the viewing of
25-year-old Daniel Sweeney the doors were full of long lines.Sweeney's co-workers from Ladder Company 10 lowered his casket from
Engine 7 and carried it inside for his final viewing and funeral. Sweeney was killed along with 60-year-old Lieutenant Robert Neary, after
they were caught in a building that collapse after Monday's five-alarm fire
in Kensington. Two firefighters were rescued and one of them still remains in the hospital.At the conclusion of the ceremony, Sweeney's flag-draped coffin was loaded onto Engine 7 for one final ride. His body was taken to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Cheltenham, where he was laid to rest.
Another viewing will be held for Lt. Neary from 5:00 - 8:00 pm at Givnish Funeral Home.
I honestly think this was a tragedy , but i want to know why was only these two fire fighters the center of attention. No disrespect to their families or anything but there are fire fighters that are killed everyday . Besides that i have sympathy for them. I do think it is absolutely sad . I never went threw anything like that but i can imagine what their families are going threw . As i learned about the building that killed them two fire fighters it made me upset. That morning i woke up to seeing it on the news had me shaking my head . Its nothing we can do about but i do want justice for the owner if that building .
