Since this whining little &*$@ brought this up - I would like to know how many female FDNY showed up at the scene - and how many volunteered to go up those smoldering stairs

Statistically there should have been at least one.

343 dead times .3% = 1.03.

Given 28 out of 11,400 are women with 343 deaths, and assuming men and women firefighters have an equal chance of dying, and that each death is independent, I come up with a 42% chance that there are no female deaths.
