PBS Documentary:
Silverstein, FDNY Razed WTC 7
|
Jeremy Baker
In a stunning and belated development concerning the attacks of 9/11 Larry
Silverstein, the controller of the destroyed WTC complex, stated plainly in
a PBS documentary that he and the FDNY decided jointly to demolish the
Solomon Bros. building, or WTC 7, late in the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept.
11, 2001.
This admission appeared in a PBS documentary originally aired in Sept. of
2002 entitled "America Rebuilds". Mr Silverstein's comments came
after FEMA and the Society of Civil Engineers conducted an extensive and
costly investigation into the curious collapse of WTC 7. The study
specifically concluded that the building had collapsed as a result of the
inferno within, sparked, apparently, by debris falling from the crumbling
North Tower.
In the documentary Silverstein makes the following statement;
I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling
me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and
I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest
thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull and we
watched the building collapse.

Mr. Silverstein's comments stand in direct contradiction to the findings of
the extensive FEMA report. They even negate Kevin Spacey's narrative in the
very documentary in which they appear; "WTC 7 fell after burning for 7
hours." If it had been generally known that the building was
"pulled" wouldn't Mr. Spacey have phrased it that way?
In the same program a cleanup worker referred to the demolition of WTC
6: "... we're getting ready to pull the building six."
There can be little doubt as to how the word "pull" is being used
in this context.

This shocking contradiction is yet another curious twist in a disturbing
series of events surrounding the "collapse" of WTC 7, and the WTC
complex in general.
Among these is the fact that, in all the history of high-rise fires, not
one has ever resulted in a collapse. On 9/11 three such anomalies were
alleged to have occurred. Those who argue that the towers were vulnerable in
their top-heaviness and verticality cannot then explain the collapse due to
fire of WTC 7, a broad based, 47-story steel-framed building.
There is also the fact that most of the structures destroyed by falling
debris were directly under the twin towers, and none of them caught fire.
WTC 7 was not only a full city block away from Tower 1 but WTC 6 stood
directly between the two buildings and certainly absorbed most of the
damage.
In addition, WTC 7 suffered a strangely thorough and complete collapse, leaving
only a leveled lot where it once stood. Although it was a much smaller
structure, WTC 6's 8-story carcass stood for months afterwards, even after
being gutted by Tower 1.
There's also disturbing correlations between the collapse of WTC 7 and the bombing
of the Murrah building in Oklahoma City. Both buildings were constructed
using the same bridge beam system that, in WTC 7's case, allegedly
contributed to its demise. But more importantly WTC 7, like the Murrah
building, housed high-level government offices including the FBI, CIA and
the Secret Service. WTC 7 was also the storage facility for millions of
files pertaining to active cases involving international drug dealing,
organized crime, terrorism and money laundering.
WTC 6, also known as the Customs House building, housed the Departments of
Commerce, Agriculture and Labor and yet another Murrah building tenant, the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
WTC 7 was also the location of a kind of a doomsday bunker (a $15 million
project of Rudy Giuliani's), a command post from which to operate in case
of a total infrastructure breakdown. Building 7 had apparently been bullet
proofed and reinforced to withstand hurricane force winds and attacks of
all kinds, a fact which makes its alleged fatal vulnerability to falling
debris all the more puzzling.
Mr. Silverstein's comments imply that he and the FDNY threw together an
expert demolition job in the space of a few short hours on the afternoon of
9/11. This revelation is staggering enough considering its blatant
contradiction to what has been, all along, the official cause of the
"collapse." But the fact that the building was buried under tons
of debris and consumed in flames at the time makes his comments all the
more baffling.
There's a compelling theory that bombs had been planted inside the twin
towers designed to complete the job the hijacked jets had begun. A handful
of seasoned professional firefighters and demolition men have commented on
how neatly and evenly the towers collapsed. Mr. Silverstein's bewildering
statements in "America Rebuilds" give an exponential boost in
credence to this claim and, in a more terrifying light, loan credibility to
growing suspicions that the attacks of 9/11 may have been an inside job.
