For four hours they were trapped in the rubble, wondering what was happening around them and how long they would be trapped. D'Agostino found a can of Sunkist orange soda, which seemed a drink of the gods to the thirsty team. Josephine was “a trooper D'Agostino said of her. He offered her a drink and she declined, being brave and stoic. When, after a while, she said she was cold, Falco gave her his coat and even held her hand when she said she was scared. They had no idea what was happening around them; they could only hope that there were efforts being made to find survivors. Little did they know how ecstatic firefighterswould be to discover that anyone had survived this disaster. Little did they know that the search for them was frantic and urgent for all concerned — those lost and those desperate to find them.
他們?cè)谕叩[堆中被困了4個(gè)小時(shí)，不明白周圍發(fā)生了什么事，不知道會(huì)被困多久。達(dá)格斯迪諾發(fā)現(xiàn)一罐新奇士橘子汽水，對(duì)這些干渴的人來(lái)說(shuō)不啻為天賜的甘露。約瑟芬是個(gè)“能吃苦耐勞的好樣兒的”，達(dá)格斯迪諾這么說(shuō)她。他給她飲料，她謝絕了，表現(xiàn)得勇敢而又堅(jiān)毅。過(guò)了一會(huì)兒，她說(shuō)冷，菲爾科就把自己的外套給了她，在她說(shuō)她害怕時(shí)，甚至還拉住她的手。他們不知道周圍發(fā)生了什么；他們只能希望會(huì)有人在設(shè)法尋找幸存者。他們很少知道，一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)居然還有人能從這場(chǎng)災(zāi)難中活過(guò)來(lái)時(shí)，消防隊(duì)員們會(huì)是多么髙興萬(wàn)分啊。他們很少知道，人們正在拼命地搜尋他們；這對(duì)于所有有關(guān)的人——那些失蹤的人們以及那些拼命地在尋找他們的人——來(lái)說(shuō)，都是萬(wàn)分緊迫的事。
While they waited, some of them methodically repacked the rope in case they would need it later, a routine that now gave them something to do. A cell phone played a part in the outcome, as it had in the tragedy of Flight 93. This time it was when Butler, who couldn'treach the firehouse through all the chaos of the phone system, called his wife. She called the firehouse and let them know of the plight of the missing men.
他們等待著，有的有條不紊地重新將繩索整理好，萬(wàn)一接下來(lái)用得著。一項(xiàng)例行的工作此刻倒使他們有事可干。結(jié)果，如同在93次航班發(fā)生的悲劇那樣，手機(jī)發(fā)揮了作用。這次的情況是，巴特勒由于電話系統(tǒng)亂糟糟無(wú)法接通消防站，便撥通了他的妻子。她再給消防站打電話，把這些失蹤隊(duì)員的困境向他們告知。
Finally, they were found. Rescued.
終于，他們被找到了。獲救了。
