The heroic account of how Pitch Picciotto survived the collapse of the Twin Towers and led his men to safety.
          
          On 11 September Battalion Commander Richard "Pitch" Picciotto was in the World Trade Center when it collapsed.

          Pitch and his men were in the north tower when they were met with a horrifying sight: more than fifty workers, too crippled, too old or too weak to make their way out no their own. Pitch immediately ordered the firefighters to form a human chain and pushed and cajoled the workers down the stairs. He was on the seventh-floor stairwell when the tower collapsed, and woke to find himself buried on the landing between the second and fourth floors.

          This is the story of how Pitch Picciotto led the survivors to safety.
