About this product

Product Information

A first responder's harrowing account of 9/11--the inspirational true story of an American hero who gave nearly everything for others during one of New York City's darkest hours. On September 11, 2001, FDNY Battalion Chief Richard "Pitch" Picciotto answered the call heard around the world. In minutes, he was at Ground Zero of the worst terrorist attack on American soil, as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center began to burn -- and then to buckle. A veteran of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Picciotto was eerily familiar with the inside of the North Tower. And it was there that he concentrated his rescue efforts. It was in its smoky stairwells where he heard and felt the South Tower collapse. He made the call for firemen and rescue workers to evacuate, while he stayed behind with a skeleton team of men to help evacuate a group of disabled and infirm civilians. And it was in the rubble of the North Tower where Picciotto found himself buried -- for more than four hours after the building's collapse.

    Last Man Down by Daniel Paisner/Richard Picciotto(2003)

    READ THIS BOOK -- YOU'LL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN !! This is truly one of the best books I've ever read. Given to me by a friend, I read it, re-read it, then loaned it to my 16-yr old son, who also could not put it down -- numerous friends have told me the same thing. Fasciniating story of New York Fire Captain Richard Picciotto who volunteered to go into the second of the Twin Towers to collapse on September 11 and refused to leave until he was sure that everyone was safely being evacuated. He scaled the stairs up and meticulously combed each floor until he was sure he had accounted for every possible person except those he'd already ordered to descend the stairwells below. Thus, he was the man at the end of this group, shepherding people below him out, when the second tower ...

    Great book for first responders.

    I bought this book for my son to read for summer reading for the new Charter High school, Delaware Academy of Public Safety and Security. This is the first year for this new Charter H.S.

    A book will tell the truth about the twin towers. It falls close to my heart because iam a vol firefighter my father was a firefighter for 27 1/2 years. It is a book to read.
