A couple of weeks ago, Brave New Films released their latest mini documentary, The Real Rudy: Radios, which is about one of the unspoken tragedies of 9/11: Rudy Giuliani's complicity in the deadly lack of interoperability between the radios the police used and those the fire department used on 9/11, which led to the needless deaths of countless fire fighters on that day. Why did Giuliani ignore requests for years after the 1993 bombing for new radios? Why did he insist on handing Motorola a no-bid contract for radios that were never field tested and ended up being useless? Well, as promised, on Monday Brave New Films delivered their petition demanding answers to these questions, with 20,000 of your signatures, to New York City Councilman Eric Gioa's office.

His response:

"My promise is I'll do everything I can to get answers."

Watch him respond to the petition and film below.

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?
