Title: Who knew the FDNY made their own tool belts from dead cars?
Review: I certainly didn't until I read this book. Seems the department had suffered some severe cutbacks, so the only tool belts most of the men have are made from seat belts taken from old cars. Their communications system doesn't work so well either, which surely would have saved more firemen on 9/11. I can't believe the city of New York lets this go on after 9/11.The book is fast-paced and well written. It reads more like Picciotto is talking to you than writing about what happened. I don't think he's patting himself on the back, as some reviewers have said, just giving us the facts. I'd have some disdain for the city of NY, too, if I risked my life in my job routinely and I had to scrounge around for the tools to do my job.
Is the review positive or negative?
