Fire Breaks Out on 88th Floor of 1 WTC

is waking up with the biggest erection.


But seriously, where's the damn sprinkler system? Makes me worried about the building I'm in.

Thankfully no one was in there, and I hope the firefighters come out okay after cleaning up this mess.

Alex Jones? If so, why would he care about this fire? Let me guess it was cover for the NWO to take over the world again?

It was all over the mainstream news last week, including right here in LBR.

Mercola. It is to laugh.

thought it was suppose to be a memorial site..


I am keeping all the NYFD in my thoughts this morning.

but definitely there...

One World Trade Center

Construction of One World Trade Center

Thus you can expect inspectors from the New York State Department of Labor to be all over the site.

it's FDNY. If you ever went into a fire station, which BTW, are called houses, and called them NYFD, they would set you straight PDQ.
As far as I know, they are the only Fire Service that has FD before the initials of their city.

Isn't that what happens when skyscrapers catch on fire?

You don't want to light a cigarette, turn an appliance on, or anything that generates the least bit of heat, in those steel framed skyscrapers nowadays! I remember one incident, in 2001, when THREE of them collapsed into their own footprints in one day!

I admire your courage.

...then I first saw it, then I was first told about it!"

And the media sits idly by...

Even though at the time, he was on his way in his limo to the school. But hey, do facts really matter with 9/11? He said that 3 months after 9/11, and he said it later again. Just let Obama get away with saying shit like that when facts tell us different. Oh but that's "crazy truther" talk.

After this weeks shooting, even though they weren't Muslim, 9/11 seemed to be this assholes revenge. If I were Muslim, I would want to clear our name, and make these threats go away. I would involve the help of other countries since the US can't stop lying about 9/11. They should take it to the point of running a remote controlled plane into a created building like the WTC just to see what would really happen.

But we all saw the second airplane hit. Bush's brain wasn't around that day.

But that video didn't surface for days. So, no, he couldn't have directly seen it.

I personally, after the endless tape loops of the impacts, cannot with any certainty say if I saw the second impact live, or if I was catching a replay when we piled into the conference room.

Neither is anyone else that was in the room with me.

The images are forever seared on our minds. All of them. It took me years to be able to talk about it without crying. Now, at times I stil cry when I talk about it. I'm choking up right now.

Bush tells audience he saw first plane hit WTC on TV--



Bush tell National Geographic he was told about first plane hitting WTC (0'48")--



Yet, where's the media to find out which story is the truth?

He was fried that morning with the hair of the dog that bit him the night before, and the whole day is kind of a blur.

!!!

Actually they do.

All the metal components of the Windsor Tower in Madrid collapsed to the ground in a couple hours, all that was left was the concrete-pillar construction components of the building, as the fire didn't do much to concrete.

It was a hybrid building, part concrete, part steel-frame. All the steel frame stuff collapsed under it's own weight in the heat.

when she said, and I quote, "I do believe that it's the first time in history that fire has melted steel".
When I heard that, I lost all hope for her.

In fact, it's only happened three times in world history, all on the same day.

with that much force and that much highly flammable jet fuel hit a skyscraper.
There was no govt. conspiracy involved like Rosie claimed. It was a foreign terrorist attack carried out by Al Qaeda.

If Osama bin Laden was involved, why was he murdered and not allowed to surrender? They never wanted to capture him alive.

Are you one of these 9/11 truthers? If so, then we're done here.
I've argued with enough of those nuts, don't want to do it again.

But I think there's more to WTC7, and I don't believe a plane hit the Pentagon. However, I don't think the government did it either, so I'm not a truther by definition.

but how do you explain the video of the plane hitting the Pentagon? What about the people on that plane, I'm sure they would love to hear that their plane didn't hit the Pentagon, oh wait, I forgot, they can't, their dead.

There only conspiracy here is that foreign terrorists planned and carried out the worse attack on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor.

> uncontrolled without sprinklers for hours,

WTC #1 fell less than an hour after the plane crashed into it. WTC #2 fell 1 hour & 42 minutes after impact.

Are you using the word "hours" to mean "less than an hour", or "one hour and change"?

WTC 1 and 2 were hit with aircraft travelling at 500+ mph, in excess of ~300,000lbs, full of fuel, and lit, again, multiple floors on fire across 1 acre areas, imparting ~7.4 million foot-tons of torque on each of the buildings at impact.

WTC7 was hit with burning debris from tower 1, some structural damage, but nothing like WTC 1 and 2 experienced, and simultaneously lost all water pressure as the collapse of 1 & 2 cut the local water mains. WTC7 failed entirely due to fire, and it took several hours longer to do so, than the steel framed components of the Windsor Tower fire.

The issues with WTC1 & 2 are not directly comparable to 7, because your starting point with the fires is already so far behind the curve, with structural members already removed by the physical impacts. Typically the 'hurf durf fire steel building' references are directed at WTC7, and this is what I was responding to. Towers 1 & 2 initated progressive collapse at the points they were physically impacted by aircraft for a reason. Had there ONLY been widespread fires in towers 1 & 2, they would have stood much longer, like WTC 7 did.

I'm glad this is just a big stupid fucking joke to you.

Steel-framed buildings will collapse straight to the ground. Always have, always will.

You have a lot of courage for saying it, though. The disinformation artists will be along shortly.

Gravity is so boring and predictable.

as if the girders not exposed to high temps had been somehow weakened by a mystical force.

Acceleration, more so.

It's not mystical to somebody who understands high-school physics.

...to this no-nothing that sounds like alot of fire-fighters for a "small fire"...

with hi rise fires. 90 FF for a hi rise sounds about right.

...and I can see the increased sense of urgency to get this dealt with quickly based on its location and recent history...

Sounds like a pretty big deal to require nearly 90 firefighters for a fire on one floor of an unoccupied building.

but on a hi rise fire, 90 FF is not unusual.

NY1: A reported fire at One World Trade Center this morning has been investigated with fire crews giving an all clear.

I will never be able to read those words , fire, WTC again w/o that gut kick twist. If I'm, living so far away feel ill, how must that be hitting the emotions of the new yorkers? huge vibes for the firefighters and new yorkers who need and anyone who would need them

-- and I do mean the Original Uses (pre-imperialist invasion) -- they would have another think coming.

Those who willfully ignore history tend to reap a Kickass Fiery WhirlWind of KaRmA.

I can think of at least two times I've seen this happen in construction areas in NYC. Once in a 1st floor and once on the higher floors. In the second case, I think it was a pretty big fire and it delayed the buildings opening.

Tall buildings in NY tend to bend and collapse due to fire. 9/11, still a joke even 10 years later.

It will forever be a terror target. Should have built a park instead, planted trees and had a memorial site.

The FDNY said responding firefighters encountered workers welding, which was causing the smoke visible from outside the building.

There were conflicting reports from the Fire Department and the Port Authority about whether there had been a fire.
