Second Tower's Down A Firefighter's Story

In The Second Tower's Down, Lieutenant John McCole, a second-generation New York fire-fighter, vividly recalls the horror of September 11 and its aftermath. What started as an ordinary, sunny day for off-duty John McCole was transformed into a living nightmare with only a semblance of reality. As John and his colleagues rushed to the WTC, the fire engine's radio delivered almost paralysing news: 'The second tower's down. The second tower's down.' Then silence. The enormity of what they had heard hit them. They each knew people - other firefighters - who were in that building. But there was an even bigger shock ahead; their confrontation of the scene at Ground Zero. This gripping personal account brings home the magnitude of what New York's emergency services had to deal with as they searched for survivors. And over the following weeks we witness the physical and emotional stain that he endured, and we learn how he coped.McCole, John is the author of 'Second Tower's Down A Firefighter's Story' with ISBN 9781861055767 and ISBN 1861055765.
