Gage's bullshit is the same as 10 years ago: He still can't find a single FDNY first responder who actually believes that the WTC buildings were controlled demolitions, so he just lies by not only taking a statement completely out of context, but also hiding the actual meaning in elipsis. What FDNY Fire Marshal John Coyle actually said was:

Then I heard on the radio all marshals are to report to — and I have no idea where it was. Oh, near the Jewish memorial thing.

I made my way over there, found [the other firefighters]. All the guys who were with us were okay. We stood there for a few minutes, and eventually I said, "We shouldn't even be here. This is the Jewish thing. This is a terrorist thing. This is a dumb place to be standing. This thing might blow up." No. Everybody I think at that point still thought these things were blown up. So I fully expected
anything else to blow up.


Coyle is talking about his first impression:

The tower was -- it looked to me -- I thought it was exploding actually. That’s what I thought for hours afterwards, that it had exploded, or the plane, or there had been some device on the plane that had exploded, because the debris from the tower had shot out far over our heads. It was raining down.


Coyle never mentioned hearing any explosions.

Gage is a fraud and a two-bit huckster.

This massive poster is hanging across the street from the New York Times building today."

Apparently the owner of that red brick building does a brisk rental business:

Here's another one on Google Street view:

The space is rented by Red Rock Outdoor advertising, who features Geico ad hanging there in the background of their home page:



Gucci ad in this one:


So 10x30 banner is a couple of hundred bucks. I imagine you can call up RedRock and ask what the rates are for that space when they are between campaigns for others.
