Hmmm. What was that that Silverstein said? Oh, yeah, "I remember getting a call from the fire chief.....blah, blah and they decided to pull it, and we wathced the building fall." So, a direct contradiction to what Silverstein said? Who's lying? Who's covering who's ass? Thanks for this CO. Even though you present it as a "debunk" to the CT's, in all actuality, it just gives us more ammo.

1 - Although prior to that day high-rise structures had never collapsed, The collapse of WTC 1 & 2 showed that certain high-rise structures subjected to damage from impact and from fire will collapse.
2. The collapse of WTC 1 damaged portions of the lower floors of WTC 7.
3. WTC 7, we knew, was built on a small number of large columns providing an open Atrium on the lower levels.
4. numerous fires on many floors of WTC 7 burned without sufficient water supply to attack them.

F the theories!!! Time for real science to find out the TRUTH.
Since 99.9% of the evidence was carted away under the tightest security, construction documents under lock and key, and professors loosing their jobs for speaking out, how are we to come up with facts? Theories are all we can do.

I am quuite certain Chief Nigro called Silverstein after all the decisions were made.
I remember getting a call from the fire department commander telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse." –Larry Silverstein
"For these reasons I made the decision (without consulting the owner, the mayor or anyone else - as ranking fire officer, that decision was my responsibility) to clear a collapse zone surrounding the building and to stop all activity within that zone. Approximately three hours after that order was given, WTC 7 collapsed. "

Billybob.... thank God for mods in here. Your "post" should land you a ban from this forum. Your "post" is nothing short of a disgrace and a slap in the face to the countless brave firefighters that lost their lives that day.
You have not one SINGLE shred of evidence that supports that garbage you posted.
Mr. Kerik accepted $165,000 in free renovations to his Bronx apartment in 1999 from Interstate Industrial Corporation, a New Jersey contractor, or a subsidiary. Last summer in State Supreme Court in the Bronx, Mr. Kerik pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts and admitted accepting the free work.

The debunking, if I may is saying that anyone from the FDNY were in on it, or took calls from higher ups to create the collapse zone. Chief Nigro called it...executed it ...and his actions saved further loss of life. No question.

your "post" is interesting in that it contradicts itself.
a. "thank god for the mods"
b. "it should land you a ban"
anyway, personal whatnot aside, i didn't implicate the entire NYFD, or the entire NYPD, just the big chiefs.
and, yes, captain "obvious", once you've lost your morals, it's a slippery slope. everyone has a price, they say. well, i imagine the pricetags ........................
i'm pretty sick of the idea that firefighters and police are somehow superiour to any other person on earth. heroism happens on the diaper changing table and the delivery room, in the schools and randomly on the streets.

a question might be, WHY is the fire chief taking time out to phone silverstien, and weigh his opinion on whether the firefighters who aren't in the building should be "pull it"?

Did you even bother to read the letter? I dont think you did .
Firehouse: The building just south of that was the Marriott.
Hayden: Across the street. That�s what I was concerned about, that the fire would jump the streets. We had exposure problems, so Bobby�s function was just to contain the fire there.
