102 Minutes: The Untold Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers by Jim Dwyer, Kevin Flynn

2.0

I wanted this book to be more about the fight to survive, like the title suggested.  Instead, it was more of a commentary on the errors in the building structure.  Sometimes I found myself wanting to say out loud to the authors "the bad guys are not the engineers and designers of the World Trade Centers, the bad guys were the terrorists who flew the planes into the buildings".  Could the rescue operation have gone better?  Yes.  I wanted more of the individual stories, and I didn't get that.  They tried...but the names were so confusing and kept jumping back and forth I couldn't keep anyone straight.  I really wanted to like this book, but ended up not enjoying it much.
