Fatal Flaws: Book 2: 1945 - 1975 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781935795643)

This book and the others in this series are a compilation of hundreds of sources over the past 15 years. In these pages are stories of battles and wars and of hundreds of political decisions made and unmade that form the tangled web of history, most of which few have ever heard. The topic of all this research is the long trail of events that culminated in the terror attacks of 9/11.

Captain Meo was the CO of Engine Company 34 on W. 38th Street in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan on September 11, 2001. Off on a last-minute shift swap, he responded to the recall and arrived in the city just after the South Tower collapsed.

He was nominated to the US Naval Academy in 1975, accepted into the USMC PLC program, and graduated from Oswego College with a BA in biology in 1979. He was appointed to the FDNY in 1980 and attended John Jay College for Fire Science. Promotions to Lieutenant and Captain followed and he retired in 2003. Captain Meo is the author of My Turn on the Fire Lines and is a speaker on the topic of the 9/11 attacks.
