NEW PROOF: 9/11 Firefighters Were Told HOURS in advance that WTC Bldg 7 Would Collapse

Recently released transcripts of interviews with firefighters after 9/11 reveal that they were Told SEVERAL HOURS in advance that WTC Bldg #7 would collapse even though fire had never felled such a building before-This was the 3rd building that collapsed on 9/11 after the twin towers that few people know about & it is further evidence that the buildings must have been demolished with explosives, meaning that 9/11 was an inside job, not the work of alleged arab hijackers.

In fact, they established a "collapse zone" in advance 5 blocks long and waited around for WTC#7 to fall. How could anyone have known Building #7 would fall when no similar type building had ever collapsed due to fire before? It must have been a controlled, deliberate demolition, something which takes time to prepare, and having no relationship with any alleged arab hijackers.
Note below a few things.

1) First, here is a ***new*** article about September 11th, which
is based on recently released transcripts of firefigthers
inteviewed after 9/11.

"The Destruction of the World Trade Center: Why the Official Account
Cannot Be True," 911Review.com, December 9, 2005
 http://911review.com/articles/griffin/nyc1.html


2) Below is a tiny excerpt from it, only concerned with the destruction of World Trade Center Building #7 (but note that the article has lots of information about the Twin Towers too, which demonstrate that the official story of 9/11 is bogus, and that 9/11 must be an inside job):

----------------------------------------------------
"Widespread Notification: At least 25 of the firefighters and medical
workers reported that, at some time that day, they learned that
building 7 was going to collapse. Firefighters who had been fighting
the fires in the building said they were ordered to leave the
building, after which a collapse zone was established. As medical
worker Decosta Wright put it: "they measured out how far the building
was going to come, so we knew exactly where we could stand," which was
"5 blocks away" (NYT, Wright, pp. 11-12).

Early Warning: As to exactly when the expectation of the collapse
began circulating, the testimonies differ. But most of the evidence
suggests that the expectation of collapse was communicated 4 or 5
hours in advance.[72]

The Alleged Reason for the Expectation: But why would this expectation
have arisen? The fires in building 7 were, according to all the
photographic evidence, few and small. So why would the decision-makers
in the department have decided to pull firefighters out of building 7
and have them simply stand around waiting for it to collapse?

The chiefs gave a twofold explanation: damage plus fire. Chief
Frank Fellini said: "When [the north tower] fell, it ripped steel out
from between the third and sixth floors across the facade on Vesey
Street. We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the
missing steel would result in the building collapsing" (NYT, Fellini,
p. 3).

There are at least two problems with each part of this
explanation.:" (see link to article above to continue)
--------------------------------------------------

3) For links to the actual transcripts of these firefighter
interviews (so you can read them yourself) as well as background
information about their release, see
 http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/10/326218.shtml

and also note the following article which indicates some of those
transcripts were REDACTED (portions deleted or stricken from them
before they were released) - Village Voice article entitled "Blots on
the Record, The Bloomberg administration's fight for 9-11 secrecy"
 link to www.villagevoice.com
evoice.com/news/0542%2Cmurphy%2C68951%2C5.html
;

Finally, this article can be cited to demonstrate that there were firefighters
on the scene on 9/11 who survived and were NOT interviewed - New York Times:
"9/11 Firefighters Told of Isolation Amid Disaster", 9/9/05,
 link to select.nytimes.com
82
("Many who escaped from the north tower did not give histories", etc.)
but of course there is no mention of who decided which firefighters to
interview and which not to interview or how those selected were selected.

what a waste

I browse Indymedia sites from time to time and it was such a great idea. Be the media. Participation. All that.

And this is what Indymedia is now -- a bulletin board of trash with no distinction between rank speculation, bullshit -- and the kind of media that's actually concerned with truth and helping people get together and build a better world.

I live in NYC. I lived in Tribeca, in the first residential tower that wasn't forcibly evacuated. I was a few blocks north of the towers when they went down. Close enough to run.

7 World Trade wasn't "pulled." This is so much bullshit. I know many people who were immediately in the vicinity, including a fire fighter who was down there that day. This is all bullshit -- mostly promoted by right-wing conspiracy theoriests who still swarm around New York.

I fucking saw it fall. There was no "blast." It's all BS. (New York Indymedia has the inegrity to avoid printing this kind of unsubstantiated crap, btw.)

But I bet when I check back through in six months, you'll still be posting the same re-hashed garbage. This is what Indymedia has become. It's why no one I know takes it seriously, and why a noble experiment has failed.

You don't care what's true. It's all "narrative."

Really. What a waste.

... so it must have been gremlins or cOMMUNISTs or cooties that infected the wtc7 video footage
?
... so what was being stored in wtc7 that combusted at a temperature high enough to melt steel ... inflaming itself into truck carriage size pieces ... that retained intense heat for how long ... with no qualified investigatory body allowed examine the wreckage before instant removel to I-think-it-was-China
.
There was a line in a poem around the time of the second world war regarding scrap metal from junking of the Sixth Avenue Elevated Railway (New York? Chicago?) ... the steel from which was salvaged and sold to Japan, just in time for said scrap metal to be deployed in weaponry used against ... well, just about everybody
.
nyc.indymedia.org has, conveniently for wirter of main article above, no available search function at time of submission of this comment. Hmmmm

I was there too - I worked across the West Side Highway in the World Financial Center, felt the two thuds of the planes hitting the towers, saw the jumpers, saw the South Tower collapse, choked on dust, ran for my life etc. - and the word on the street, hours before #7 collapsed, was that it WAS going to come down. Based on this "speculation" a wide area around the building was cleared of all human life long before it did fall. Knowing this to be so, I'm wondering how you can say "there was no 'blast'" since no one would have been close enough to have been able to distinguish the sound of a explosives 'blast' from the noise the building made when it came down. In fact, if the building was deliberately "pulled," as I believe it was, there would have been a series of blasts that, still, would have been masked by the sound of the 47-floor building crumbling to the ground. Like a lot of people are pointing out, steel-framed buildings like WTC #7 just don't collapse like that unless they are deliberately destroyed by high explosives.

want not

I saw the WTC 7 demo happen LIVE (not tape playback), on television. NBC's Commentators were just as stunned as we were to watch the building collapse in a controlled demolition, with utterly no explanation.

What a waste; what a waste! 28.Dec.2005 03:01

Pause awesome pausesum@aol.com

I was in San Francisco when WTC seven was demolished, and even from the west coast anyone could see it was a controlled demolition, same as WTCs one and two. Everyone kept saying, no way those planes brought down those buildings. First, jet fuel burns at about 800 degrees C. Re-inforced steel melts at over 2000 degrees C, so unless our government somehow managed to rewrite the laws of physics, their "official" story is "official bullshit." Second, all of the jet fuel was burned up in the initial massive explosions we all witnessed when the planes impacted the buildings, (what do you think fueled those massive fireballs?) so there was no fuel for any fire hot enough to even weaken the steel and make it plastic enough to fail. Third, black smoke indicates oxygen starved fires, which indicate low temperatures, much to low to weaken steel to the point of structural failure. Just ask any blacksmith how hot a fire has to be in order to forge steel. Fourth, nothing hit WTC seven. It just collapsed for no reason at all; and please let us not hear any stupid shit about siesmic waves causing WTC seven to collapse. What is a real waste, is people like you that want to stick your head in the sand and deny what is obvious: criminals in our own government caused 9-11 to happen to justify their imperial wars in Afganistan and Iraq, which is a far more troubling reality than the "official bullshit" about nineteen arabs that attacked us for some ellusive-terrorist-organization because they "hate our freedoms." Please get real. You should have been suspicious when they started their investigation by telling us who did it.
