24 years later these people suddenly remember all these details?
Why are we not shown the parts of the interviews where they apologize for being absolute, abject COWARDS and explain their silence up until today?
What has changed that they are speaking now?
Have they never told their FDNY and NYPD brethren?
Why are they telling their stories to "Truthers"? Why not sell the story where the audience is maximal?
The lobby of WTC7 was initially designated a staging area for the emergency response, but given up following the damage it received from the collapsing towers.
Firefighters were then sent in to assess its integrity; they reported some fires etc.
Eventually it was decided to abandon WTC7.
Still later on, when fires burned fully involved and the building was found deforming and creaking, chief Nigro ordered all responders working GZ to evacuate to outside a collapse zone.
So this raises a question: WHEN were these witnesses trying to get into WTC7, and why?
It is certainly plausible that they might not have receieved the orders to stay out of WTC7 or later to get further away from it, and so ran into personel telling them.
It is also also not implausible that they may have seen agents with rifles!
In fact, NIST's NCSTAR 1-8 shows in Figure 8-1 on page 163 a member of the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit (ESU) in helmet and bullet-proof vest, holding a rifle that maybe someone might describe as an "uzi". According to the caption, he was "providing security at the FDNY Incident Command Post in front of WFC 2".
I find it possible that, after 24 years and perhaps some years identifying as Truthers, some responders may have merged a memory of being denied access with a memory of a security person with a rifle and the nonsense they learn from "9/11 Truth" to synthesize a FALSE MEMORY.
