Re: \"Ladder 49\"

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.

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.
