WTC7's construction was fairly unique, examples of strong fires going uncombatted for over 6 hours in steel framed central core buildings and long floor trusses are few and far between. The roughly comparable case I know of was the One Merridian Plaza fire in Philadelphia in 1991. It did not collapse but the FD and engineers feared it would and it suffered serve damage including thermal expansion and sagging of the floor trusses. There were important differences in the building's construction namely the one in Philly wasn't build over a pre-existing structure and did not require trusses to transfer loads between columns.

Steven Gaal Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) 94.5 % Free fall speed = demolition (inside job) Giuliani Warned Mayor Giuliani Had Privileged Warning of Unprecedented Collapse Warnings of the imminent collapse of the South Tower are inherently suspicious, given how unexpected that event was. No skyscraper in the world had ever collapsed for any reason, other than controlled demolition. Later revisions notwithstanding, the collapse took almost everyone by surprise. Firefighters and emergency workers did not receive warnings. Such warnings indicate foreknowledge, whether or not one believes any of the official theories of the collapses of the Twin Towers. Rudolph Giuliani's Warning Rudolph Giuliani, mayor of New York City on 9/11/01, has stated that he was at the base of the Twin Towers just minutes before the explosive collapse of the South Tower and then went to 75 Barclay Street -- where he had a makeshift command center. QUESTION: Mr. Mayor, just to clarify something that Mr. Kerik said you were about 10 minutes past when you were standing with several of the high ranking officers who you lost and then you went to Barkley [sic] Street, have you thought about that 10 minute gap, how you were 10 minutes from being in a horrible situation? GIULIANI: I haven't had a chance to think about it. QUESTION: Then that could of evacuate the 10--you would have been with them 10 minutes earlier before the building collapsed? GIULIANI: The--some of the people that we lost we saw like Father Judge (ph) and Chief Gansy (ph), Bill Fehan (ph), we saw them about 10 minutes before--before we went over to 75 Barkley [sic] street. And I talked to their families and I explained to them that they were working very hard and they were working at what they loved to do. And I'm sure their efforts will end up having saved other lives and their families can be very proud of them. 1 In an ABC News interview, Giuliani states that he was "told that the World Trade Center was gonna' collapse," and that it did collapse, referring to the 9:59 destruction of the South Towers, and implies that the warning was not well in advance of the event. I .. I went down to the scene and we set up a headquarters at 75 Barkley Street, which was right there with the Police Commissioner, the Fire Commissioner, the Head of Emergency Management, and we were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna' to collapse. And it did collapse before we could actually get out of the building, so we were trapped in the building for 10, 15 minutes, and finally found an exit, got out, walked north, and took a lot of people with us. The OEM Who warned Giuliani? To our knowledge, no reporter working for any mainstream media organization has put that question to Giuliani. However there are passages from the Oral Histories of emergency responders that shed light on the question. The account of Richard Zarillo contains the following: As I was walking towards the Fire command post, I found Steve Mosiello. I said, Steve, where's the boss? I have to give him a message. He said, well, what's the message? I said the buildings are going to collapse; we need to evac everybody out. With a very confused look he said who told you that? I said I was just with John at OEM. OEM says the buildings are going to collapse; we need to get out. He escorted me over to Chief Ganci. He said, hey, Pete, we got a message that the buildings are going to collapse. His reply was who the f___ told you that? Then Steve brought me in and with Chief Ganci, Commissioner Feehan, Steve, I believe Chief Turi was initially there, I said, listen, I was just at OEM. The message I was given was that the buildings are going to collapse; we need to get our people out. At that moment, this thunderous, rolling roar came down and that's when the building came down, the first tower came down. 2 Although Zarillo describes being directly questioned, both by Fire Marshal Steven Mosiello and by Chief Peter Ganci, about who told him that the buildings were going to collapse, he does not clarify the source of the message beyond the OEM (Office of Emergency Management), where he was "just with John." Steven Mosiello's account corroborates Zarillo's: A. At that point I don't know exactly when the Commissioner and Mayor had left. It was pretty soon after they had left that Richie Zarillo, who works with EMS -- I believe he's an OEM liaison -- came running up to me. I was not on the ramp at this time. I was like almost at the sidewalk location. He said Steve, where's the Chief? I have to tell him, you know -- I said tell him what, Richie? These buildings are in imminent danger of collapse. I said how do you know that, you know? So he ran with me. I ran over and grabbed Chief Ganci and said Chief, these buildings are in imminent danger of collapse. He looked up at me. 3 References 1.

Len Colby Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 WTC 7 and WTC 2 were different buildings, you claimed the OEM warned the FD about the former and provided a citation about the latter. As for the collapse being unprecedented engineers feared the Merdian Plaza would collapse and Leslie E Robertson (the tWTC's engineer of record) indicated he was not sure they would survive when he watched the fires on TV, but I guess he and the OEM and the FDNY among many others were 'in on it'.

I think I saw Chief Gombo there. I'm not really sure. I mentioned to the EMS people there, again, not knowing who they were, I said you need to get away from here, the building might collapse, we need to leave this spot.

Following the September 11th World Trade Center disaster, Mr. Sheirer, in his capacity as Director of the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management, played a key role in overseeing the City's rescue and recovery operations.

Andrew Ansbro, Firefighter: "I was one of the few firefighters to make it out of the Marriott Hotel before the south tower landed on it and killed most of the people inside," he recalled.

Len Colby Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 This dodge is getting tiring, you claimed that the OEM warned the FD about the collapse of 7 WTC but so far have only produced evidence they warned them about 2 WTC and accuse me of being a xxxx for pointing out the discrepancy. As previously noted you stoop to crude insults when the evidence doesn't go your way. Yes the OEM determined WTC2 was in danger of collapse shortly before it came down word reached the NYPD who got most of their personnel out, some FDNY commanders were warned but most of the FFs in the building were not. There were problems with the FD's radios which had been known about since the '93 bombing but not resolved, that's one of the reasons why the FD hates Giuliani.

You said the OEM told the FDNY that building was going to collapse. The ball is still in your court. Why weren't all firefighters warned? As previously stated due to problems with the FDNY's radios.

Len Colby Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Yawn the order from the PAPD commander came before the 2nd crash and almost an hour before the determination the buildings were in danger of collapse, the latter obviously referred to the Twin Towers and indeed there are several quotes from those at the scene referring to the danger of them coming down, but no such references to the others. Despite its name WTC7 was across the street from the complex and privately owned unlike the others which were owned by the PANYNJ, thus it is unlikely the PAPD had the authority to order an evacuation there. In any case the OEM is part of the city government and is totally separate from the PA which is a super-state agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
