Brave New Films has released the latest in its series of short films documenting the utter incompetence of Rudy Giuliani leading up to and in the wake of 9/11. This one, called The Real Rudy: Radios, tells of Giuliani's failure to equip the city's firefighters with radios that were interoperable with the police radios. There's a reason the firefighters suffered a disproportionate number of fatalities on 9/11. The police were ordered to evacuate because they saw that the buildings were going to collapse; the firefighters never got that message because Giuliani failed to equip the firefighters with new radios that worked despite calls to do so ever since their radios failed in the 1993 attack.

Watch it:

Sign the petition to demand that the New York City Council hold a public investigation into the key questions raised by the film:

• Why was nothing done to improve FDNY radio performance for seven years after a clear need was demonstrated in the 1993 World Trade Center attack?


• When new radios were finally ordered, why did the city block other companies besides Motorola from bidding on the contract?


• Once Motorola was given the contract, why did its cost jump from $1.4 million to $14 million?


• Why were these new radios never tested?
