En complément d'information, voici ce qu'avait à dire Daniel Nigro, le chef des pompiers de New York le 23 septembre 2007.Brigand a écrit :
C'est sa réponse au commandant des pompiers. Oui, il ne cite pas la phrase précédente du commandant qui parlait du "groupe de pompiers sur place" ou de "l'opération en cours dans le bâtiment". Et alors? Ca ne veut pas dire qu'il parle du bâtiment.
Tu noteras qu'il ne dit jamais aux pompiers de "pull it". Il dit juste que c'est peut-être la meilleure chose à faire, et c'est ensuite les pompiers qui prennent la décision (et le bâtiment s'effondre 3 heures après la décision).
Donc Dan Nigro a pris la décision, en a informé Silverstein et ce dernier a confirmé : se retirer de la zone autour du WTC7 était la meilleure solution.Release date: September 23, 2007
Regarding WTC 7: The long-awaited US Government NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) report on the collapse of WTC 7 is due to be published at the end of this year (although it has been delayed already a few times [ adding fuel to the conspiracy theorists fires!]). That report should explain the cause and mechanics of the collapse in great detail. Early on the afternoon of September 11th 2001, following the collapse of WTC 1 & 2, I feared a collapse of WTC 7 (as did many on my staff).
The reasons are as follows:
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.
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.
Conspiracy theories abound and I believe firmly that all of them are without merit.
Regards, Dan Nigro
Chief of Department FDNY (retired)
Dans une discussion normale, ça devrait suffire à détruire le mythe du «pull it - démolition contrôlée. »
Mais nous sommes ici face à un cas de narcissisme extrême. Julien99 ne
