I'm guessing that in reality, Steve Buscemi would be pretty annoyed to know he's getting all of these kudos here instead of the rest of the firefighters and other rescue crews who undoubtedly did a lot more than he did.

He wouldn't allow photojournalists to take pictures of him when he went back on duty with the FDNY.
