Emergency workers tell us the call came in at 12:55 PM ET ... the caller reported a seizure.

Ross is currently on a gurney at the airport, and an eyewitness tells us EMT workers are administering CPR.  Members of Rick's entourage are standing by, some of them extremely emotionally upset.

Dj Tecnine's Reflection as a 9/11 WTC Rescuer - 10 Years Later

Besides the music. My passion is helping people. This is what I was doing 10 yrs ago on 9/11 and the 6 days to follow. I lost a good friend/family, not to mention the hundreds of my fellow first responders that paid the ultimate sacrifice that was supposed to be all in a days work. Never take life for granted. RIP to all that lost their lives on this tragic day. We will never forget!
I am Carlos Negron, a life long Jersey City resident and retired EMT that served on the Plainfield Rescue Squad and Tour Chief for West New York EMS at the time. On September 11, 2001 I was on duty as an EMT working in Plainfield, NJ at the Plainfield Rescue Squad when the attacks took place. When the first plane struck we had just walked in the emergency room of Muhlenberg Hospistal in the city. At that point no one knew what was going on except that a plane hit one of the towers. We went on another call and when arrived back at the E.R. we encountered news footage of the second plane barreling into the second tower. After the second plane hit we were immediately activated by CENCOM to respond to the Staten Island side of the Ferry terminal to aid in the rescue efforts. As we overstocked our ambulances we heard news that first tower had collapsed, we left immediately after that. En route we heard that the second tower had collapsed also. As we race down Interstate 278 towards the Narrows Bridge we encountered heavy traffic up to a certain point, then the police bottle-necked the road into one exit and we had a clear run from then on. After that we only encountered a few dozen deserted cars. It felt like an apocalypse was happening. Our 3 ambulance convoy kept in touch via short wave radio, we were all hoping what we heard on the radio wasn't true. I was the first in the convoy to get on the Narrows Bridge along with my Captain Tyshaun Hawkins, as we looked to our North our worst fears were confirmed. It was surreal, all we saw was a cloud of smoke. The towers we gone. We arrived at the terminal at around 11am and my team was there for the arrival of the last ferry from Manhattan that had mostly walking wounded. My team only treated and released one person. When we were released from the terminal around 3pm our convoy was asked to report to Liberty State Park back here in Jersey City. From there we would head over to Exchange Place to wait for more wounded, only one arrived by boat and we rushed him on to the waiting stretcher of the next in-line ambulance. Later on that night we went over on a tug boat to deliver supplies and assist. That was the start of a grueling 6 day search and rescue on my part. The worst news came on the morning of September 12 when the news was broken to me that a lifelong family friend and Jersey City Fire dispatcher Joseph Lovero was killed from a massive heart-attacked after being struck with a piece of the first falling tower. It's still hard to imagine. Their is so much I remember and would like to forget about those 6 days I was there and everything that took place. All I could say is rest in peace Joe! We will never forget all our fallen brothers and sisters lost on September 11, 2001.
