Alex, here's a firefighter who was with other firefighters. Why didn't we hear about their suspicions that One Liberty Plaza was going to collapse?
That big black building was beginning to creak and we could hear the metal buckle under stress. It stayed up, but you couldn't convince us of that at the time. Here we are standing at the minimum safe distance, ready to get caved in on or go back to work at the pile.
A few minutes ago you didn't even know that there was a mystery and within that short amount of time you managed to solve it. Good job. The 9/11 commission could have used a regular Sherlock Holmes such as yourself.
Larry Silverstein admitted that they decided to PULL the building so that's how the script got passed around to all the networks and how they knew it was going to collapse. Or did you conveniently forget that small factoid as well?
