Reply #51: I think I was not too harsh

[Endimion]

I merely stated that there appear to be too much of "experts" appearing at crucial moments.

>>>A question. As I do not live in US, could you explain me importancy of DU? Is it a famous forum? I never thought of it like that. Of course not as some poor websites, but neither as NYTimes page.<<<


or what is also known as non-redundant steel frame design

WHAT??? Sorry DeadBroke, but that is not true. WTC was made to be redundant. It was among the best redundant buildings in the world.


As for firefighting, well, it is a great experience. I’ve done it since 1968 – volunteer and paid.

I never attacked you, nor your job. As a matter of fact, you sound really informed about firefighting. And I admire that. As I admire PP as a doctor. I stated that there are lots of people that LIE (is anybody offended? I will repeat things like this, so anyone offended should be prepared, thank you :)) about WTC.


FYI: If the Trade Center were a 1 story building with a truss roof, like a warehouse, auto showroom or a fast food chain restaurant it would have been considered a “Disposable Building” and unless a person was trapped no firefighter would enter. Truss roofs = death.

Strange indeed. I never saw a warehouse with thick core, complex truss diafragm roofs with fireproofing, egzoskeleton, sprinkler system. Neither auto showrooms, fast food chains restaurants.
I did see truss roofs. And I know the difference.


I believe the firefighters, who never claimed to know everything, have offered some good insight.

Exactly. And I admire that. I admire tollerance and humble attitude that most of them posess. They are very important observers of 9/11.
