Hello,

some  things  keep  bothering  me - also like water sprinklers.  there
were  thousands  of  gallons  of  fuel spilled on a few floors.  there
should  have  been  many,  MANY  MORE gallons of water spilled on each
floor  or  at  least  some  floors.  Enough that the water should have
washed flaming fuel out and down the side of the buildings.

the  burning  fuel should have washed outside the building because the
elevator shafts and stair wells would have been sealed, as well as the
duct  shafts.   even if the before mentioned items were damaged, fluid
will   seek the path of least resistance will it not?  did anyone ever
hear  them mention anything about the fire sprinklers and if they were
working?   more  so  was the pumps working that push the water up into
the holding tanks on the roof?

Hac> smoke inhalation than the building falling.

having  been  to  midtown  and experiencing the whole ny thing.  i can
hear  the  fire  and  police  now trying to keep the people calm.  who
would  of  ever  thought  that  those  buildings would come down.  not
knowing they probably caused many lives to be lost. i'm not condemning
them  at  all,  it was a bad situation to make a call on.  most likely
the  good  authority  abiding people were the ones who died mostly and
the panic stricken crazies made it out.

they should not be allowed to build a building so tall unless they have
a way to get them out.  this type of trapped scenario has happened time
and  time  again,  especially  where  no  fire sprinklers are present.
brazil comes to mind.


Have a Great Day, Mark
