This film was absolutely stunning to see. That fireman's reaction. The shock
and horror. The doom. The dozens of people hanging from the windows and then
jumping. The scale of the collapse and devastation. The confusion. The cloud
of totally safe non poisonous fatal toxic debris. The sheer gallantry and
heroism of the rescue workers.
How fatal was that announcement telling people to "remain calm stay at your
desks." Many who survived did because they ignored that order.


She genuinely had no idea that people, caught between burning or
suffocating to death or jumping to their deaths had jumped and that it
was all caught on film.


That situation would not have occurred if the architects and engineers
had done their job properly. High-rise buildings, where escape by
stairs is impractical, are required to have segregation to prevent the
spread of fire, and fire lifts, emergency lighting and other services
which will continue working no matter what, to allow escape.

Of course these won't help if the building suffers catastrophic
structural failure, but that had never happened before to a
skyscraper, and short of a nuclear explosion, is only going to happen
with the planned use of demolition charges throughout the structure...

There are a lot of unanswered questions about the 11th September
"attacks", look up the 'Reichstag Fire', we've been there before.
