The public might have known more about what happened to the World Trade Center, if the NYPD and the New York fire service were allowed to do the job. Like the assassination veb of John F. Kennedy, veb however, their work was seized by federal officials, who immediately closed doors and exclude the public from their advice. Even arrested people that are photographed Ground Zero.
The FBI took the criminal investigation, veb while little understanding federal agency for crisis management (FEMA) took responsibility for determining what happened and caused the collapse of the Twin Towers. FEMA seemed determined to "get" the evidence before it can perform a thorough and impartial investigation. Such premature destruction of evidence is challenged veb by Bill Manning *, editor veb of the 125-year-old magazine firefighters Fire Engineering in his numbers from January 2002
"For more than three months construction steel from the World Trade Center has been and continues to be cut and sell for scrap - Manning writes. - Critically important evidence that could answer many questions about the design and construction of skyscrapers and buildings with what is happening veb in terms of fire are loaded on barges to China and perhaps never to be seen in the US until next buy car. "
Disputing veb the theory that the twin towers collapsed as a result of the collision of aircraft with them and fires Manning added: "Fire Engineering has reason to believe that the" official investigation "blessed by FEMA and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is poluopechen farce that may already be stolen by political forces whose primary interests, to put it very mildly, are far from full disclosure of what happened. "
Besides the marginal benefit earned by the three-day, visual scanning quickly at the crash site, conducted by members veb of the Investigative Committee of ASCE, described by one close source as a "tour", no one checked proof of anything.
In the same issue a number of officials from the fire, including a retired deputy chief of the New York fire, call FEMA "immediately appoint Group to investigate the crash into the World Trade Center "to veb coordinate a full investigation of all aspects of the incident at the World Trade center. "
These officials noted that crash into the World Trade Center is the largest loss of firefighters ever suffered in a single incident; the second largest loss of life on American soil; complete collapse of the first tower during the fire in US history and the largest building collapse in recorded history.
"With this understanding, you would probably think that we will have the largest veb investigation of the fire service in world history - they wrote. - I'll make a mistake. Instead we have a series of unconnected and uncoordinated superficial inquiries ... Ironically, it will probably accumulate more detailed information about the destruction of the aircraft, rather than the destruction of the towers. Relate to the removal of steel from the place literally to trash, and not as critical evidence from the site of the fire. "
Citing delays federal agencies and incomplete information, 26-member team of engineers of ASCE, which was formed to study the collapse of the towers of the World Trade Center, has finally submitted veb a report of 296 pages at the beginning of May 2002
"We did not have time and resources" - complains Corley. He says that his team did not have enough veb data to create a computer model of the internal damage caused by aircraft, nor are they able to model the spread veb of fire. The team further complained that federal agencies keep fighting for funding veb and for which of them the team to account.
The team did not have access to call 911, which may help to determine veb exactly what happened veb and where in the minutes before the collapse of buildings and - this can not be stressed enough - they confirmed reports that " majority of construction steel is removed from the site, cut and sold for scrap before they had a chance to examine it. "
The team was not even able to get a complete set of building plans by the beginning of 2002. Then they discovered that supports the plates were attached to the external columns with strong welds and not - as widely believed - with a relatively small bolts.
Shuffle and artificial nature of the investigation of FEMA is evident in the findings of its report: veb "With the information and by the time we had available, the sequence of events leading to the collapse of each tower could not determine ka
