\"Ladder 49\"

Best film I have seen in a very long time.

I just got back from seeing it. It ain't bad. I thought it was a lot less hokey than the other fireman movie (Backdraft).
Coming out of the movie, I mentioned to the people with me it was about time someone made a movie about the World Trade Center. I got a couple blank stares. I pointed out the tall building on fire and colapsing and firemen dying trying to save lives. Then somebody pointed out it was dedicated to the WTC. D'oh

It was a pretty decent movie. I did not know it was dedicated to the WTC.

Anyone know what lights they had on their helmets and clipped to their jackets?


Thanks.

Don't know about the ones they had in their helmets or the handheld ones some of them were carrying. But the ones clipped to their jackets were Pelican Big Ed flashlights.

"Garrity" lights on helmets(2 for $3 at Wally-World)(JUNK)
Pelican Big Ed on coats
In a few scenes Surefire M4(handheld).

I thought it was a great movie. A lot of people dont know what goes on "behind the scenes" or what the job really entails. Gives people a greater appreciation I think.

I knew I saw a SF turboheaded light in there.
