NEW YORK -- Two firefighters searching the rubble of the World Trade Center became trapped in an air pocket Thursday before they were rescued hours later, a fire official said.
Earlier, a police official said five firefighters who had been trapped in an SUV since Tuesday had been rescued.
Fire Department Capt. Roger Sakowich said only two firefighters were rescued. He said they got lost in an underground pocket beneath the rubble and were pulled out three to four hours later.
