Thank you.
I Have been on the fence regarding 9/11, and I have wanted to ask someone that actually knew someone questions because you read so many stories..
So often it's claimed that victims are brothers of friends, or a cousin of a guy they know, or someone that went to the same school...never anyone that actually knew a victim well..
Perhaps now you can shed some light on a few things, questions I have heard raised here and elsewhere..
Why is peter not listed on the social security death index? Yet he appears on the victims comp fund?
Do you have any photos of peter other than black and white FD photo?
Since you knew him, perhaps you have a photo, I know I myself have a least one photo of my friends and family, at least in the last 20 years..
It seems in the case of most of the victims there are no photos to speak of that can be found other than the "offical" photo.
Do you know of any court records/internet pages/ etc that list peter prior to 9/11?
So often in these victims there is nothing...no record of anything before 9/11
Can you think of one legit reason a photo released of a victim/firefighter would ever be altered?
If one was wouldn't that shed a bad light on the official story?
Thanks again...this may answer alot of questions that people have raised regarding victims..

Again thank you for your reply..you might have a deal on the lunch! I do get to the city every once in a while.
Seeing photos would be great, as that would disprove alot of the stories that these victims were fabricated.
I have seen several of the doctored photos, and I for one can't think of a legit reason to do so..so that alone would tend to cast a bit of doubt in my opinion.
The ssdi has been a puzzler to me as well...why are some listed and others not? If we could ever answer some of these questions it would be nice.
Not that anything would ever settle the whole thing..
heck I still have alot of questions about the okc bombing and I was there on scene for 4 days myself.

Actually what your link says is: A36 - shear modulus of 79.3 GPa (11,500,000 psi).
Did you really think that steel is 143.75 times stronger in shear than it is in tension ?
Shear modulus is not the shear strength.
The average shear strength for A36 is 50,000 psi.... 60,000 psi max.... 36,000 min.
The average shear strength of 7055 T7751 is 53,800 psi.

Piffle? Tripe? Since you didn't have time to read it, your opinion is less than valid.
As far as thermite not being a cutting charge feel free to read this:

Burning people don't smell that bad once the hair is gone, it's more the concept of what you're smelling that's makes your stomach turn. Buried in a pile of tons of office crap and burned slowly over time, it'll smell like burning garbage.

the police were arresting people who had those little 'NukeAlert' keychains that started chirping when they were visiting in the area of Ground Zero.
I'm sorry but I don't have the link,

Remember the vehicles surrounding the WTC; they were absolutely incinerated. it is not possible that a building collapse would cause such intense heat at street level.
There were hundreds of vehicles which stood where they parked with the tires, interior, anything that was not metal - gone! Burnt into the air!
My thoughts are these:
You are stuck in traffic. Debris starts raining down. Many people left their cars running and simply ran like heck.
Debris from 80 stories up punches through the windshield/dash/hood and wreaks havok on the electrical system.
You end up with car fires. Not a surprise.

Where are those that should have been on the upper part of the rubble? Nada, nothing, nobody. So all these blender/fire theories are just nonsense.
