Review by FDNY Battalion Chief John A. Calderone
In the time period immediately following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, numerous books on this subject were being knocked out on a regular basis. Their content and quality were spread over a wide range. Most of those books had their run and are no longer available. There is no doubt that the attack on the World Trade Center was probably one of the most photographed events in history. This brings us to the latest book on the topic: MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! The Day the Towers Fell. This book is different in that it is a collection of color photographs taken by well-known fire photographer Steve Spak. Few photographers have been able to capture the events of that day from a firefighters perspective. Steve has accomplished this. Arriving minutes after the second tower fell, Steve shadowed operating units and documented firefighting and rescue operations immediately following the collapses. These are powerful, close-up images that few people, other than firefighters operating at the scene, experienced. He has recorded history in his photographs. This book is available in either soft or hardcover versions and is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in FDNY or in the events of that horrific day. Ordering information is available at www.stevespak.com.
Review by FDNY Honorary Chief of Department Jack Lerch
"Steve's Photographic expertise and his detailed knowledge of the New York City Fire Department helps him deliver one of the only 9-11-01 photo books that really show what is was like to be a firefighter on 9-11-01. It shows, from a firefighter's standpoint, what we faced in the aftermath of the terrorist attack and how we regrouped and performed under horrific conditions. This book is a testament to our heroism and sacrifice that we as firefighters and Americans made on 9-11-01".
Jack Lerch, Honorary Chief of the FDNY.
