The Bonnanno's lost Big Dom Trinchera; Sonny Red Indelicato; Phillp Giaccone; Sonny Black Napolitano and Anthony Mirra all in 1981 from different circumstances. Benny Left Ruggiero was gonna also gunna be hit.

They lost some serious powerhouses that year. My question is; Why did it take Phillip Rastelli so long to have Carmine Galante whacked? Was their a agreement where Galante was to serve as Acting Boss for a period or did he just grab total power without Rastelli's knowledge? I read they were friends at some point but i dont know the total extent.
