Fire union leaders and relatives of firefighters killed at the World Trade Center in 2001 blasted Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani in a video on Wednesday, pairing footage of the falling twin towers with charges that the city’s former mayor was woefully unprepared for Sept. 11, causing needless firefighter deaths.

“I think if they knew the truth, (people) wouldn’t vote for him,” said Tallon, who is a leader of a group calling itself Sept. 11th Firefighters and Families for Truth. “We haven’t had a chance to go national, but we will. You can bet on that.”
