If they had fought the fire the nonsense of fire weakening the steel wouldn't have happened and therefore no collapse.
,,, and if
{insert favorite football team's name} had
{insert type of play} instead of going for the field goal they would have won the game.
FACT is Clayton they determined that it was not worth the risk to personell and did not keep men in the building.
Chris and Clayton, YES it is determined years after the fact with all the data and structural details of the building in hand to say that the impact damage to the structure was not sufficient to cause a global collapse. We KNOW for certain that there were partial collapses , just look at pictures of the SW corner. There was ample evidence that a partial collapse could occur at any time especially in the lower SW part of the building.
Chris attributes magical prescience to engineers in saying that one would just know by looking at the building that it would not collapse (partially or globally) and risk further FDNY deaths.
Another oddity in Chris' statements is that he says no Chief actually said they had other priorities for the water supply yet is quite content to read into a line of text that there was enough water and personell to fight the fires in WTC 7, that does not actually say so.
Instead what it says is that at that time they could consider the possibility of fighting WTC 7. NIST cites an interview with the Chiefs about the discussion at this time in which the do consider the possibility and then DECIDE not to do it!
End of story,,,, except Chris has alluded to NIST simply fabricating this interview,,, indicating that the Chiefs have for some unexplanable reason simply allowed this lie to be told on their behalf.
oooohhhh but Chris is not saying that the Chiefs are cowards,,, no they are faced with a Serpico style choice and all choose silence.
I asked Chris how the supposed conspirators could be willing to pin their very lives on these men keeping their silence FOREVER.
No answer.
Chris 7's ideology has him grasping at straws like never before.
