"Such destruction of evidence shows the astounding ignorance of government officials to the value of a thorough, scientific investigation of the largest fire-induced collapse in world history. I have combed through our national standard for fire investigation, NFPA 921, but nowhere in it does one find an exemption allowing the destruction of evidence for buildings over 10 stories tall."<br>. . .<br>"As things now stand and if they continue in such fashion, the investigation into the World Trade Center fire and collapse will amount to paper- and computer-generated hypotheticals.<br>"However, respected members of the fire protection engineering community are beginning to raise red flags, and a resonating theory has emerged: The structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of jet fuel in themselves were not enough to bring down the towers. Rather, theory has it, the subsequent contents fires attacking the questionably fireproofed lightweight trusses and load-bearing columns directly caused the collapses in an alarmingly short time. Of course, in light of there being no real evidence thus far produced, this could remain just unexplored theory.<br><br>"The frequency of published and unpublished reports raising questions about the steel fireproofing and other fire protection elements in the buildings, as well as their design and construction, is on the rise. The builders and owners of the World Trade Center property, the Port Authority of New York-New Jersey, a governmental agency that operates in an accountability vacuum beyond the reach of local fire and building codes, has denied charges that the buildings' fire protection or construction components were substandard but has refused to cooperate with requests for documentation supporting its contentions."<br>--from Fire Engineer Magazine editorialof Jan. 2002 cited.<br>**<br><br>God DAMN it -- WHO the FUCK do these political hacks and self-inflated bigwigs think they are that they can dismiss public safety issues in such a high-handed, canalier manner, trashing fire safety and accident investigation regulations at will? How come the media hasn't raised a high-holy stink, or the fire-safety-rescue-engineer fraternity hasn't screamed bloody hell and lobbied NYC and the White House? I always thought the rush-rush pell-mell manner the WTC steel was removed absent any competant investigation, and the 911 Commission's utterly incompetant judgement that the WTC towers collapsed because of crash-and-fire-induced structural failure in the absence of a competant civil engineering study and a TOTAL refusal by the City of New York, the Mayor's Office and the Port Authority to provide the structural blueprints was nothing BUT criminal negligence -- Quite coincidentally, I found the following reference (on the 911 blogger site cited by a RI'er for transcript of McKinney's recent 911 Panel) to a fireman's dogged determination to cut through the cover-up and bullshit, leading to his finding of a copy of the WTC blueprints -- an astonishing breakthru that might begin to answer SOME of the big unanswered questions:<br><br>Somebody sure has a lot to answer for.<br>Starman<br>***<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.911blogger.com/">www.911blogger.com/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>Former Auxiliary NY Fireman Is 'A One-Man Investigative Team' when It Comes To Finding The Truth About 9/11<br>New Yorker Paul Isaac was a block away when the Twin Towers collapsed, watching helplessly as many of his friends perished. Today the former auxiliary fireman and communication specialist is 'a man on a mission' who says after years of researching 9/11, he is positive a massive cover-up exists to protect an inside government job.<br><br>Isaac is a diligent researcher, a man on a personal mission who has dedicated almost every waking hour of his life to get justice for the hundreds of friends, both fireman and civilians, who perished in the towering 9/11 inferno.<br><br>The truth is Isaac has a giant hole left in his heart after 9/11, a hole he is trying to fill with information leading to the truth leading to the real culprits responsible for the mass murder of over 3,000 Americans.<br>..<br>“There are a couple of interesting facts, along with numerous other inconsistencies, which have led me to seriously question how the government claims the tower’s fell by jet fuel alone.<br><br>“First, many people may not recall that on February 15, 1975, there was a blaze at the World trade Center that took out six floors. In fact, the fire was much hotter than the one on 9/11 but it still didn’t take down the entire building.”<br>..<br>He said to his astonishment a complete set of structural floor plans was never released by the government supporting its conclusions. Instead, what he found were conclusions based without “the slightest bit of documented evidence.”<br><br>“So I went on a personal search all over the city, a search to every government and private office imaginable to get accurate data about the WTC building plans,” said Isaac. “Finally, in the old archives of the New York Fire Department, I hit the jack pot and now I think hold the trump card.<br><br>“I want to bring these documents to the public and I want to bring the culprits who caused this mass murder to justice. These blueprints have never been made public and it shows without question that the WTC is a whole lot stronger than the government would like us to believe. These blueprints show a very strong truss system and not a cardboard box like the government claims.”<br>..<br>Besides being a man on a 9/11 information quest, finding out the truth has become personal mission, not only because Isaac lost many friends, but since he considered the Twin Towers his home away from home when he worked for Engine Company 10 located right across the street from the WTC.<br>..<br>“As I looked up, I saw the first tower come down. I couldn’t believe it. From that moment on, I kept saying this is a war but against who is the real question. The Bush administration needed something to set in motion their global agenda for conquest and power and 9/11 was it.”<br>..<br>And like a true researcher with an eye for detail, he added: “Why don’t you give Karl Rove a call and ask him what he thinks? His number is 202-456-5578. I’m sure he won’t mind if you give him a call!”<br><br>It may be worth doing a quick search on Paul Isaac for previous articles which refer to him. Definately a hero, definately someone whom we should be aware of. <p></p><i></i>
