I suspect that this is merely a case of mistaken memory, ala the old "pass the secret" game...

How long after do you mean? Hours? Days?

Pass the secret? She's not repeating something she heard. She's recalling personal experience. She's talking about events ON 9/11. She said "building 7" about 6 times.
What do you think this 'mistaken memory' could be about? Another building? You think she's misremembering what she heard?

I remember it later in the day, after I got home, which was around 1pm.

A good question would be "Why WOULDN'T alot of people be experiencing health problems? we all saw the soot, etc. floating in the air, and saw people who couldn't see past their hand due to the amount of soot, particles, debris, etc. in the air.

To me she didn't sound too convinced by her own story. I don't know if anyone else picked up on the part where she was talking about the specifics of what the fire department told her, but to me she sounded like she was at the very least stretching the truth.
To me this is nothing more than the phrase "pull it".
It makes no sense for the fire department to know, because this adds one hell of alot of people to the *keep quiet* list. Even if they were told it is even less logical that they would then go around spraying the information around to the other people arround the place. Why not just say they thought their was a high probability of the building collapsing? This gets the people moved and keeps the secret.
It just doesn't add up...

That is what they said........they (the fire department) were told by the federal authorities to get everyone away from the building because they (FEMA or whatever) were going to bring it down.
FDNY was just doing what they were told.

What did the NYFD actualy say, im confused.
Was it just telling everyone to get away from the building or was it get away from the building because it is about to be demolished?
I think it is more probably the first because it is atleast plausable that the fire department would try to evacualte people if they thought it was about to collapse.
Many Believe Toxic Ground Zero Site Responsible for Growing Number of Deaths among Cleanup Workers
Last week we reported on the death of James Zadroga, a 34-year-old homicide detective who was believed to be the first New York City police officer to die from a respiratory disease caused by exposure to dust and toxic debris during his hundreds of hours of rescue and cleanup efforts at ground zero.
Now, however, the New York Daily News is reporting that 22 other relatively young men may also have died from respiratory-related illnesses caused or accelerated by their exposure to the same toxic environment while aiding in the post-9/11 cleanup.
Like Zadroga most of the 22 men were only in their 30s and 40s. According to their families, they have died as a result of the deadly mixture of chemicals they were exposed to as they searched for survivors in the ruins of the World Trade Center or aided in the clean-up efforts in the days and weeks following the terrorist attack.
While the attack was immediately responsible for killing almost 3,000 innocent victims who were in and around the WTC, it now appears 9/11 has had, and will continue to have, far reaching effects on possibly thousands of other individuals who responded to the catastrophe that day and in the weeks that followed as part of the massive rescue, recovery, and cleanup efforts, without any regard to their own personal safety.

What I find to be a little shady is the almost unanimous vote
to ban public smoking in NYC in 2002. Was this a ploy to decrease
smoking so as to prevent a sharp rise in lung cancer victims
in NYC, which would have led to an investigation into the toxic air
quality at ground zero? Or was Bloomburg just protecting public
health?
