The 116th Street crew that contained Fat Tony Salerno, Philip Lombardo and was led by Trigger Mike Coppola is sometimes described as the strongest crew in the history of the American Mafia in NYC. But is this the case?
This America Mafia documentary looks at this powerful crew and debates whether it was this famous Genovese Family crew or perhaps another crew from one of the other Five Families, that deserves the title - "Strongest Crew".
Looking back at Mafia History in New York City, we explore some of the other contenders, such as The Greenwich Village Crew under Patsy Ryan or Mike Miranda's Crew or Tommy Rava's crew in Gambino Family, or Charlie Moose Panarella's crew in the Colombo Family and several others.
This Mafia video features many famous names in Cosa Nostra history, including Vincent Chin Gigante, Bobby Manna, Joe Waverly, Neil Dellacroce, Carmine Fatico, Jimmy Brown Failla, Fat Andy Ruggiano, Wild Bill Cutolo, Jackie DeRoss, Greg Scarpa, Sal Catalano, Paul Vario, Funzi Tieri, Richie the Boot Boiardo, Dom DeQuarto, Ciro Terranova, Lucky Luciano, Joe Masseria, Albert Anastasia, David Petillo and many more....
