Tear Jerker / Rescue 911

• The episodes where people died.
  • Butane Huffing
  • Runaway Boxcars
  • The very first episode showed footage of a girl who drowned in the Guadalupe river flood.
  • "Double football Player" - which details Jerry Anderson's death saving a kid.
• Any episode where a family loses their home to fire.
• The episode where a dog named Chewy was saved from a burning building. In the reenactment, when the room fills up with smoke, Chewy lies underneath a wagon after being unable to find a way out.
• Fridge-Tear Jerker: From the segment "Sister Saves Siblings," where a 12-year-old girl saves her four younger siblings from a house fire. One of her sisters, who was interviewed on camera, went missing in 2006. Another younger sibling was evidently a fugitive and was later arrested for abducting her children from foster care. (She appeared on the website for America's Most Wanted, but was never actually featured on the program itself)
• Along the same lines as above, according to his niece on YouTube, Deputy Duane Fuquay from "911 Baby Sitter Prowler" was terribly shaken by the incident, and took his own life five years later for unrelated reasons.
• The responding officer in "911 Christina's Call" gets choked up in his talking head interview as he recalls the sheer brutality of the victim's stabbing, and the fact that her children witnessed it.
• "Norwegian Organ Transplants" has a visiting family from Norway lose their eldest daughter in a car crash. Aside from seeing her younger sister and brother crying over her death, the mother made the difficult decision to terminate her care and was able to donate her organs, which saved the lives of three different people.
