FDNY Statements regarding WTC 7

Does anyone have a link to the myrad of statements by the FDNY concerning the collapse of WTC 7 and their "foreknwledge"? I recall a good group of statements, but can't seem to find it.

thanks

Since they didn't have any foreknowledge, do you mean statements stating that?

I don't believe that there are any "official" statements prior to the collapse. Only their educated belief that it was going to come down, and maybe one or two firefighters talking near a camera saying it's coming down.

The Gravysites links in the sticky thread at the top of this forum are a superb resource for this sort of information. For eyewitness accounts of WTC7, start here and follow the link at the bottom for a couple of pages.

Yes they did have foreknowledge, just not in the way truthers claim and theres no possible way you could read their statements and remarks on it and come to that conclusion

I made a 2 part video series a while back with just a small section of them here.

Very good videos. I am shocked that people are still spewing this BS though -

"You have 2 videos on the same subject.
You can't take the heat?
My points are based in science, Just answer the questions.
I posted the RJ Lee Group, FEMA and USGA Evidence.
Univ of Copenhagen posted theirs on Bentham Open Physics, Why aren't you there disputing it, it's for peer review and has never been challenged in 4 years."

FDNY Chief Hayden: By now, this is going on into the afternoon, and we were concerned about additional collapse, not only of the Marriott, because there was a good portion of the Marriott still standing, but also we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to col- lapse. You actually could see there was a visible bulge, it ran up about three floors. It came down about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, but by about 2 o’clock in the afternoon we realized this thing was going to col- lapse. "

Here is a guy who actually measured the leaning going on at WTC7. 47 story building don't lean unless there are some serious issues with it.

LOL, DEBUNKED!!





Although, if by "serious issues" you meant "the designers were on LSD", then yes, you may in fact be correct.

Isn't that the thing the editor quit over because she had supposedly vetted it and she had never seen it before?

If you read the conversation between myself and that guy which I think takes place properly on my Richard Gage video he showed he didnt even know what Open Access was and tried to claim you didnt have to pay a fee to publish but was mixing up the free aspect to read it vs the pay aspect to publish. He promptly ignored this after I quoted the exact part he missed from their FAQ. Probably more amusingly he also claimed there had been no peer reviewed papers published on 911 AT ALL apart from the Bentham paper, seriously.

Which meant he was probably mixing up papers on 911 and papers from Truthers.

These are the unstoppable intellectual giants who are ferreting out the Troof, ladies and gents.
