Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden spoke with firefighters in Moosic, Pennsylvania on Thursday night, after answering questions from voters on during a televised town hall.

Biden told the firefighters "you're incredible," and went on to describe details of the car accident that killed his first wife and his daughter in 1972, shortly after he was elected to the United States Senate for the first time. Biden said it took more than two hours for firefighters to get his two sons out of the wrecked car and save their lives.
