Well done. I would like to speak to Fellini myself. It seems to me he's trying to make himself out like some kind of super-psychic fireman/superhero .... in the meantime not only is he not qualified to determine the structural integrity of a 47-story steel skyscraper, but how much experience does he have with ones that are damaged in this fashion?
And we had a discussion with one particular engineer there, and we asked him, if we allowed it to burn could we anticipate a collapse, and if so, how soon?... And it turned out that he was pretty much right on the money, that he said, ‘In its current state, you have about five hours.’”
“We are aware that an engineer or a technical expert or a technical advisor was providing advice to the city agencies with regard to the condition of building 7. The advice really was focussed on whether or not firefighting operations should be continued in Building 7...
So it was the judgement of this advisor or advisors that the building eventually would come down…”

Building engineer from OEM conferred with FDNY chiefs on WTC 7 situation - determined it was not safe to
enter and would collapse
As an aside listened to presentation about operations at WTC 7 from Chief Hatden and talked to him

No precedence? They had just watched two other buildings collapse killing several hundred of their friends. You can believe all the insane demolition theories you want. It is never going to change the fact that there is absolutely no evidence that any of the buildings were wired for demolition. No admissions by those involved, no wires found in the rubble, no seismographic evidence, nothing, nada, zilch........
But go ahead, drink the conspiracy kook aid

How do you know? There is no precedence of a CD of such buildings. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
What double standard are you going on about? There had never been any collapse whatsoever of a steel building due to fire previous to 911. Yes, those firemen were in uncharted territory.

So you are allowed to look at other buildings to base your assessment on, but when it comes to firemen they can't possibly make a proper assessment because there is no precedence. That is what is called a double standard.
Who the hell appointed YOU the world's spokesman? Keep dreaming buddy. I've seen big egos in my day but you're in la-la-land
Anyway, the world doesn't care about your uninformed laymen opinion on matters you know next to nothing about.

Chiefs Hayden and Nigro disagree with you.
They do not.
They do not because they are not even aware that I exist.
The funny part is that your position is argumentum ad verecundiam by proxy.
OSers speak with forked tongue.

nope i would win that one 100% sure still not seen a clock on any news show of that day .all you have to do is ask older people who remember that day go on it does not hurt what have you got to loose .you could even start a thread on it . i phoned the sun newspaper in scotland these guys are on the ball after he told me it was 9.30 am gmt he heard about it he went quiet & hung up when it was pointed out that new york is 5 hours behind our time .the mirror news paper tried a story about weapons grade material going missing on the 13th of sept 2001 or 9-13-2001 depending on where you are . i am dyslexic with a very good memory especially of that day .they now deny publishing that story even though lots of people can remember it . i was the first person in the diner that day and got told the cooks not in to midday i sat down & told the barman to change the channel on he widescreen to the sports thinking it was a move it was exactly 11. 43 AM exactly . a lot of people remember hearing it at 9.40 ish here not just me show me your money
Widescreen? Unlikely in 2001, especially in a "diner" although not impossible.
But "diner" - are you sure you're in the UK? And you managed to avoid all news of the event for two hours plus?
Interestingly enough though my memories of the day suggest I heard that a plane had hit the first tower around 11ish, which does seem a bit early. I imagine I must be mistaken.
