Giuliani's Restraint
in response to reader comment: Proof Giuliani was warned 20 minutes before WTC collapse

Submitted by Gil Montano, Jul 15, 2007 05:03

I am from NY, but was not there on 9/11. I watched it on TV as the tragic events were unfolding and I knew it was going to collapse. Sitting there on the couch with my family knowing well the history of WTC, I said they are going to collapse.

What does that mean? That I had information that others did not have?

Is it really hard to imagine that things happen, even if someone may say that it is impossible. The towers were suppose to withstand an aircraft flying into them. The levees in New Orleans were suppose to withstand a Category 3 hurricane. If you didn't know, Katrina made landfall as a category 3 hurricane and it did not hold did it.

When did they every build a life size version of the WTC and fly a plane into it and test it? They didn't.

During the construction of the towers, they also stopped using asbestos fire proofing and changed to a non-asbestos fire proofing. At that time, during the construction, it was said many times that if a fire breaks out above floor 40 or 50 something, I can't remember off hand, that the towers would fall. That is something many people do not know, but you can research it and verify it.

It's sad that people like you think this stuff up and spread it to the ignorant. A cover up of this magnitude with not one person actually stepping forward with the smallest remorse saying that they know who did it and were part of it, sure.
