Speaking of firefighters that responded is a dear friend of mine with incredible credentials and a heart as big as they come.  He even protested along with me and millions more to send a message to our government not to invade Iraq.  He has volunteered over the years as a firefighter and a voice for those who continue to suffer in our country.  So, when his eyewitness accounts are impeached as he fought those raging fires at the pile which is now called Ground Zero, they do not know my friend.

 

Here is verbatim what he has written to me concerning his eyewitness accounts of the pile, “The fact is that 30 fire companies fought the fires at WTC 7 (that contained half million pounds of diesel fuel) for several days with virtually no progress toward containment.  No structure can maintain structural integrity under that amount of fire load indefinitely.  There are many false factoids out there about the collapse of this structure.   There was no pool of molten steel in the basement, no explosives went off, just more fire load for longer than any structure could sustain, plain and simple.  Also WTC 7 was not on fire until the burning twin towers collapsed upon it. As you know I was there.” I will believe his accounts over those who were not even there.

  

Someone asked me in an email today; what about Larry Silverstein’s remark calling for WT 7 to be pulled as being the smoking gun.  For those of you who do not know who Larry Silverstein, he is the lease owner of the property now known as Ground Zero.  In searching around the Internet and in response to another person’s email here is what I wrote, “When you mentioned Larry Silverstein and his quote using the term “pulled” in relation to WT 7, I went searching for what he actually said.  I came across this audio wave in which he stated, "I remember getting a call from the, uh, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'You know we've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is, is pull it.' Uh, and they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse." I further opined, “So in essence he stated that after the building caught fire and to prevent the further loss of life.  He did not say it prior to the building catching fire or for it to be brought down intentionally through a controlled demolition.”
