Pożar WTC7 był naprawdę niewielki. Porównajcie to z niedawnym pożarem hotelu Mandarin Oriental
Po wielu godzinach intensywnego pożaru nie doznał strukturalnych uszkodzeń.
A więc rozumiem, że
absolutnie każdy budynek musi, ale to musi zawalić się w wyniku pożaru? Nieważne, że budynki bardzo często się od siebie różnią, prawda? Na przykład hala zbudowana ze stalowych elementów i jakiś betonowy moloch to prawie jedno i to samo?
Wiem dlaczego wydajesz się sugerować, że gdy jakiś budynek nie zawali się z powodu pożaru to znaczy, że
żaden nie może, ale to naprawdę nie ma zbyt wielkiego znaczenia. Cieszę się tylko, że już zwolennicy TS porzucili porównywanie WTC7 do tego budynku z Madrytu - tamten bowiem nie zawalił się z powodu pożaru - a przynajmniej nie zawaliła się jego część wzmocniona betonem. Natomiast część stalowa - jak najbardziej. No ale mam rozumieć, że to z kolei nijak nie oznacza, że jednak stalowe konstrukcje mogą zawalić się w wyniku działalności ognia, prawda?
Zaraz, zaraz... czy to nie wybiórczość i lekkie naginanie faktów? No bo Twoim zdaniem "fakt, że chiński budynek nie zawalił się w wyniku pożaru ma "udowadniać", że budynki nie zawalają się od pożarów, a fakt, że stalowa część madryckiego budynku zawaliła się w wyniku pożaru ma oznaczać, że... budynki nie zawalają się w wyniku pożaru"? Czyli
wszystko potwierdza spisek - jest w porządku.To, że zdjęcie zatytułowane "Corner Damage Starting at Floor 18" obrobione przez NYCPD to manipulacja. Jeśli twoim zdaniem nic nie widać zza dymu to skąd wiesz, że są tam uszkodzenia? Ja osobiście zza tych dymów widzę zarys nieuszkodzonej fasady (zwłaszcza na filmach, gdy dym jest w ruchu w miarę ją widać). Zresztą fasada i zewnętrzne ściany mają takie znaczenie dla wytrzymałości budynku jak lakier w samochodzie. Nawet jakby była tam wyrwa jak w zaprezentowanym przez Ciebie wcześniej Bankers Trust Plaza to nie miała by ona kompletnie żadnego znaczenia.
Według mnie pożar był niewielki w porównaniu z wielkimi pożarami wieżowców. Porównaj sobie ile ognia i dymu wydostaje się chociażby z zaprezentowanego przeze mnie hotelu Mandarin Oriental.
Zaprzeczasz relacjom świadków którzy tam, w przeciwieństwie do Ciebie, byli (dużo tego):
I remember standing there looking over at building 7 and realizing that a big chunk of the lower floors had been taken out on the Vesey Street [south] side.
There was a huge gaping hole and it [the fire] was scattered throughout there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably about a third of it, right in the middle of it.
Just when you thought it was over, you’re walking by this building and you’re hearing this building creak and fully involved in flames ... Sure enough, about half an hour later it came down.
Hayden: Yeah. There was enough there and we were marking off. There were a lot of damaged apparatus there that were covered. We tried to get searches in those areas. 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 collapse. 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 collapse.
Firehouse: Was there heavy fire in there right away?
Hayden: No, not right away, and that’s probably why it stood for so long because it took a while for that fire to develop. It was a heavy body of fire in there and then we didn’t make any attempt to fight it. That was just one of those wars we were just going to lose. We were concerned about the collapse of a 47-story building there. We were worried about additional collapse there of what was remaining standing of the towers and the Marriott, so we started pulling the people back after a couple of hours of surface removal and searches along the surface of the debris. We started to pull guys back because we were concerned for their safety.
Firehouse: Chief Nigro said they made a collapse zone and wanted everybody away from number 7— did you have to get all of those people out?
Hayden: Yeah, we had to pull everybody back. It was very difficult. We had to be very forceful in getting the guys out. They didn’t want to come out. There were guys going into areas that I wasn’t even really comfortable with, because of the possibility of secondary collapses. We didn’t know how stable any of this area was. We pulled everybody back probably by 3 or 3:30 in the afternoon. We said, this building is going to come down, get back. It came down about 5 o’clock or so, but we had everybody backed away by then. At that point in time, it seemed like a somewhat smaller event, but under any normal circumstances, that’s a major event, a 47-story building collapsing. It seemed like a firecracker after the other ones came down, but I mean that’s a big building, and when it came down, it was quite an event. But having gone through the other two, it didn’t seem so bad. But that’s what we were concerned about. We had said to the guys, we lost as many as 300 guys. We didn’t want to lose any more people that day. And when those numbers start to set in among everybody… My feeling early on was we weren’t going to find any survivors. You either made it out or you didn’t make it out. It was a cataclysmic event. The idea of somebody living in that thing to me would have been only short of a miracle. This thing became geographically sectored because of the collapse. I was at West and Liberty. I couldn’t go further north on West Street. And I couldn’t go further east on Liberty because of the collapse of the south tower, so physically we were boxed in.
Now we're still worried about 7. We have guys trying to make their way up into the pile, and they're telling us that 7 is going to fall down.
And 7 World Trade was burning up at the time. We could see it. There was concern. I had gone up to take a look at it, because I knew that the telephone company building, which is 140 West Street, was next to 7 World Trade Center, and there was a concern that if 7 World Trade Center came down, what would happen to this building? ... I went back and I reminded whoever the chief was, I don’t know if it was Chief McKavanagh or Chief Blaich, that with 7 World Trade Center in danger of collapsing, you had to be careful."
The major concern at that time at that particular location was number Seven, building number seven, which had taken a big hit from the north tower. When it fell, it ripped steel out from between the third and sixth floors across the façade on Vesey Street. We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing.
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 collapse. 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 collapse.
No ale rozumiem, że sprawa zostanie (jak zwykle) załatwiona tak, jak świadkowie spod Pentagonu którzy wyraźnie widzieli nadlatującego Boeinga. Co z tego, że tylu przecież zwykłych ludzi go widziało - "nie wierzę w to, że w Pentagon uderzył Boeing i nie uwierzę - więc ci świadkowie to dla mnie albo podstawieni agenci albo ich zeznania są kompletnie nieistotne". Tak, tak, to przecież słynna spiskowa metoda "dochodzenia do prawdy".
Nie, że nie mogli sobie poradzić. Oni nie byli pewni czy sobie poradzą. Na to Larry stwierdził, że najmądrzejsze co mogą zrobić to zostawić go żeby się palił. I akurat wtedy budynek się zawalił. Mądry człowiek z tego Larrego, a może i prorok.
Czy padły sensowne odpowiedzi na pytania "jak założyli ładunki wybuchowe w płonącym i niestabilnym budynku?" oraz "dlaczego nie słychać było ogłuszających eksplozji kontrolowanego wyburzania?", czy je po prostu przegapiłem?
""It's blowin' boy." ... "Keep your eye on that building, it'll be coming down soon." ... "The building is about to blow up, move it back." ... "Here we are walking back. There's a building, about to blow up...""
Czekam na idiomowe wyjaśnienia frazy "blow up"
Jedno spostrzeżenie - zwykli strażacy(?) ostrzegają o "wyburzeniu". Założyli łądunki i opowiadają sobie o nich. Teraz siedzą cicho. No jasne - prawdopodobnie ich zamordowano. Poza tym - wielokrotnie było o tym, jak ludzie opisywali widok uderzających samolotów w WTC słowami "eksplozja". Czy to znaczy, że widzieli:
- samolot uderzający w budynek i powstałą w wyniku tego kulę ognia?
- eksplozję bomby?
