re: #374 Killgore Trout

Geraldo should go lock himself in a frakkin’ Capone vault. Then again, even if he did, there’d be nothing found in there because he’s full of hot air (and himself).

The troofers long have focused on the collapse of 7WTC as being unexplainable because it collapsed hours after the Twin Towers collapsed, and ignore that there were multiple fires that were not being fought because of the precarious situation of debris from the Twin Towers still looming over the area - recall that hundreds of firefighters were killed in the tower collapses, and dozens of their vehicles were devastated as well. 7WTC had diesel generators and fuel tanks that fed those fires, and the building was heavily damaged from the collapsing North Tower (the same tower caused irreparable damage to Fiterman Hall - which is now in the process of being rebuilt across the street from the already rebuilt 7WTC).

The troofers focus on a couple of radio transmissions about firefighters pulling out of the towers - claiming that this was the call to pull the tower down - not to get firefighters out of harms’ way because of the imminent collapse.

The entire scene after the collapsed twin towers was straight out of Dante’s Inferno with fires and debris everywhere. And the precipitating event for the collapses were the planes striking both towers.

Moreover, the NIST report specifically dealt with the 7WTC collapse and noted that the collapses were due to structural damage to key structural members and prolonged exposure to fire that weakened the structures to the point of failure.
