I don't think altruism exists. Everything we do, we do for personal gain. Self Satisfaction is in itself personal gain, it makes us feel good and while it may do good for others, there is still that personal satisfaction. The NYC firefighters were not in any way altruistic, they got paid to go into the towers and attempt save people, and while many of them may have lost their lives in that process, i think there was probably some form of deeper heo complex. But those are just my thoughts.
