Reply #16: According to this report Tony Benetatos moved on to another unit

[DoYouEverWonder]

Sept. 9, 2002

Some widows and some firefighters from other companies let them know they did not appreciate that Engine 7 was the focus of a documentary that included footage from inside the towers just moments before they fell. Still, the men of Engine 7 defend the French brothers, Jules and Gedeon Naudet, who made the documentary and who had been following them for months prior to the tragedy, filming the life of a probationary firefighter. They say the brothers were offered millions for their film but turned it down because they did not want to lose control of how it was presented.

Much of the criticism abated after the footage was aired, tastefully.

Still, when tourists drop by, they often ask: "Is Tony here?" Tony Benetatos, the probationary firefighter prominently featured in the documentary, has moved on to another unit.
