Reply #1: damage to WTC7 occurred when WTC1 fell [View All]

CHIEF FRANK FELLINI FDNY

The major concern at that time at that particular location was number Seven, building number seven, which had taken a big hit from the north tower. When it fell, it ripped steel out from between the third and sixth floors across the facade on Vesey Street. We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing. So for the next five or six hours we kept firefighters from working anywhere near that building, which included the whole north side of the World Trade Center complex. Eventually
around 5:00 or a little after, building number seven came down.


(the damage to WTC7 described was on the SW corner of the building apparently) http://911research.wtc7.net/index.html

a lot of fires in such buildings were much worse than WTC7 when the decision was made to evacuate and not fight the fires; or even turn off problematic equipment and systems?
