The Window Washer do a little Cleaning of WTC7 on 9/11. The building is seen later 'breaking' at this point with smoke and flashes as it falls, It also fails at the opposite window washer davit point, coincidentially ........ UPDATE Writing for Fox News, Jeffrey Scott Shapiro states, I was working as a journalist for Gannett News at Ground Zero that day, and I remember very clearly what I saw and heard.

Shortly before the building collapsed, several NYPD officers and Con-Edison workers told me that Larry Silverstein, the property developer of One World Financial Center was on the phone with his insurance carrier to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of the building since its foundation was already unstable and expected to fall.

In February of 2002 Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties estimated investment in WTC 7 was $386 million. This buildings collapse alone resulted in a payout of nearly $500 million, based on the contention that it was an unforeseen accidental event.

A controlled demolition would have minimized the damage caused by the buildings imminent collapse and potentially save lives. Many law enforcement personnel, firefighters and other journalists were aware of this possible option. There was no secret. There was no conspiracy, writes Shapiro.

However, obviously aware of how it would impact his insurance claim, Larry Silverstein has consistently denied that there was ever a plan to intentionally demolish Building 7.

In June 2005, Silverstein told New York Post journalist Sam Smith that his infamous pull it comment, which has been cited as proof that Silverstein planned to take down the building with explosives, meant something else.

In January 2006, Silversteins spokesperson Dara McQuillan told the U.S. State Department that the pull it comment meant to withdraw firefighters from the building (despite the fact that there were no firefighters inside WTC 7 as we shall later cover). There was no mention whatsoever of any plan to demolish the building before it fell.

  • Poor window-washer. Just hours later he realized he did all that work for nothing

  • @IranContraScumDid911 "Is that what you heard me saying?" Yes, you claimed that in order for the towers to have collapsed, the steel would have to be melted, because, it never becomes weak until it melts, as you said: "Steel is not half melted at 1000 degrees." But it DOES become weaker when it gets hotter. And true, quenching may make it "stronger", but it can also make it more brittle, i.e. not able to take impact well.

  • *sigh* Calm down, people.

  • RIP God bless the USA

  • @Bojoe777NaBl Newsflash: Obama is taking the troops out of Iraq. He already ended combat missions. I guess they're leaving any DU waste behind.

  • @Bojoe777NaBl Those jets were all busy being too far away fighting "injects", especially any from Andrews near the Pentagon!

    Also, pilots didn't need guns 2 months before 9/11, because they barely ever had to use them before. Guns can kill even trained martial artists with box cutters, you know.

    And wiretapped cliques joke about hijackings all the time. Germany and Israel just lack humor, Americans know that.

    It's not like someone had a grudge against a genocidal ex-puppet going euro.

  • I just cannot believe how blind some people are AND DONT FEEL BAD because that is the way the government works - we lost 58k young men in vietnam over A LIE 9/11 is the same thing - it is all for personal gain.. you think the government is watching out for u? If they gave a flying fuck about you they would take us out of "iraq" which does fucking no good WHATSOEVER in all forms and spectrums.. gov. should legalize hemp and abolish the war on drugs along with the failed department of education..

  • and out of all the people who talk about 9 11 being an inside job they sound 1000x times more credible than TERRORISTS!!!! FIRE DAmAGE!!!! Even Dumbass Bush basically admitted ON TV that he had prior knowledge about what was going to happen... oh and only 14 jets in the air and none of them shot down the planes BULLSHIT - oh want another FACT - Silvertein who leased the trade centers for 15 mil got 7 BIL afterwards and 6 weeks before 911 got "terrorist" insurance

  • @VCat2006 yea because they know they have already fucked america and dont need to pul off another stunt like this again.. for fucks sake do you really think that fire damage let alone anything that the government says took that building down could actually happen - grow up get real and grow a pair

  • @TheGolord The impact would damage the floors below, and bend weakened support columns of steel. That's why the new WTC7 uses more concrete and much more fireproofing on the steel.
