Comments by "" (@hewitc) on "The rise and fall of Rudy Giuliani, explained" video.

  1. The video didn't discuss the scandal regarding the dead firefighters on 9/11. There used to be a website run by firemen's widows explaining that FDNY wanted to upgrade their communications equipment to digital. Rudy had a big supporter/donor pushing the sale of older analog equipment. Giuliani forced the sale of the obsolete equipment. FDNY said it tried to evacuate the firefighters in the Towers when it looked liked they would collapse. The analog gear couldn't get reception through the steel mesh reinforced floors and the firemen never got the command. Hundreds died in the collapse. The widows blamed Giuliani.
