Our State Department offers Silverstein's 2005 "clarification" here....complete with
untruths documented from FEMA report and NIST spokesman's comments published by Popular Mechanics....and as reported in the NY Times. There were no firefighters in or near BUilding 7 after 11:30 am on 9/11. So...is Silverstein's clarification a lie? Why would the U.S. State Dept. website display Silverstein's lie on it's official website, if our government had nothing to hide?
Can you spot the "big lie" from the State Department web page, in the quote box below? Is the font big enough to match the scale of the lie? <b>A bullshit story from our government, that a "kidney patient" who lived in a cave, planned an attack that involved 15 Saudi and 4 other middle eastern men who hijacked four airliners and flew 3 of them into buildings, flying at speeds over 500 mph at altitudes between 20 and 800 ft., executing fighter plane like maneuvers in spite of flying abilities described as poor by their flight instuctors.</b> The four airliners were all hijacked nearly simultaneously and all eluded U.S. air defense countermeasures, inspite of the admission by Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and COTJCOS Gen. Myers, that the four war games that coincidentally were conducted at the time of the hijackings, actually increased the ability of air defense assets to counter the attacking airliners!
<b>You go...willravel !! As you can see, our government is posting this, because..???</b>

9/11 Revealed?
New book repeats false conspiracy theories
....The Collapse of World Trade Center 7
Allegation: 9/11 Revealed suggests that the 47-story World Trade Center 7 building, which collapsed at 5:20 pm on September 11, was intentionally demolished. The primary piece of evidence for this is a comment that Mr. Larry Silverstein, who owned the World Trade Center complex, made on the September 2002 television documentary American Rebuilds. Mr. Silverstein said:
<b>I remember getting a call from the Fire Department commander, telling me they were not sure they were going to be able to contain the fire. I said, you know, “We've had such terrible loss of life that the smartest thing to do is just pull it.” And they made that decision to pull it and we watched the [World Trade Center 7] building collapse.</b>
9/11 Revealed and other conspiracy theorists put forward the notion that Mr. Silverstein’s suggestion to “pull it” is slang for intentionally demolishing the WTC 7 building.
Facts: On September 9, 2005, Mr. Dara McQuillan, a spokesman for Silverstein Properties, issued the following statement on this issue:
Seven World Trade Center collapsed at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001, after burning for seven hours. There were no casualties, thanks to the heroism of the Fire Department and the work of Silverstein Properties employees who evacuated tenants from the building.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conducted a thorough investigation of the collapse of all the World Trade Center buildings. The FEMA report concluded that the collapse of Seven World Trade Center was a direct result of fires triggered by debris from the collapse of WTC Tower 1.
<b>In the afternoon of September 11, Mr. Silverstein spoke to the Fire Department Commander on site at Seven World Trade Center. The Commander told Mr. Silverstein that there were several firefighters in the building working to contain the fires. Mr. Silverstein expressed his view that the most important thing was to protect the safety of those firefighters, including, if necessary, to have them withdraw from the building.
Later in the day, the Fire Commander ordered his firefighters out of the building and at 5:20 p.m. the building collapsed. No lives were lost at Seven World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.</b>
As noted above, when Mr. Silverstein was recounting these events for a television documentary he stated, “I said, you know, we've had such terrible loss of life. <h3>Maybe the smartest thing to do is to pull it.” Mr. McQuillan has stated that by “it,” Mr. Silverstein meant the contingent of firefighters remaining in the building.</h3>
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has stated unequivocally, “NIST has seen so evidence that the collapse of WTC 7 was caused by bombs, missiles, or controlled demolition,” in its Collapse of WTC 7 report (p. 6). NIST’s working hypothesis for the collapse of WTC 7 is that it was caused by the collapse of a critical column due to “fire and/or debris induced structural damage.” There was substantial damage to WTC 7 when the nearby WTC 1 tower collapsed and fires began shortly afterwards. Also, WTC 7 was a very unusual building because it was built over an existing Con-Edison power generation substation, which contained two large 6,000 gallon fuel tanks for the emergency generation of power. The fuel from these tanks could have contributed to the intense heat that apparently weakened the supporting columns in WTC 7.

9/11: Debunking The Myths
PM examines the evidence and consults the experts to refute the most persistent conspiracy theories of September 11.
Published in the March, 2005 issue.
.........NIST researchers now support the working hypothesis that WTC 7 was far more compromised by falling debris than the FEMA report indicated. "The most important thing we found was that there was, in fact, physical damage to the south face of building 7," <b>NIST's Sunder tells PM...</b>
......Second, a fifth-floor fire burned for up to 7 hours. <b>"There was no firefighting in WTC 7," Sunder says........</b>

Engineers Suspect Diesel Fuel in Collapse of 7 World Trade Center
By JAMES GLANZ
.....With the collapse of both towers by 10:30 a.m., larger pieces of the twin towers had smashed parts of 7 World Trade and set whole clusters of floors ablaze. <b>An hour later, the Fire Department was forced to abandon its last efforts to save the building as it burned like a giant torch.</b> It fell in the late afternoon, hampering rescue efforts and hurling its beams into the ground like red-hot spears........
....Falling debris also caused major structural damage to the building, which soon began burning on multiple floors, said Francis X. Gribbon, a spokesman for the Fire Department. <b>By 11:30 a.m., the fire commander in charge of that area, Assistant Chief Frank Fellini, ordered firefighters away from it for safety reasons.........</b>
