... that I have seen firefighters talk about the warnings they received while in the buildings.

At first, I only knew about the warning that was given in the North Tower. That became quite a stink because, if you remember, the radios that Rudy had recently purchased for them through a kick-back deal, didn't work so they had to use the old ones, that also wouldn't work under certain conditions.

Well apparently, the firefighters say that the police got the 10 minute warning, but it didn't come over the firefighters radios.

One man even went to court to sue about it. He was angry because he said his son (a firefighter who was lost that day) loved his life and would NEVER have ignored that kind of warning.

Well, it's well known that they didn't get that warning, while the police admit they did. Body count backs that up. No police officers died in the North Tower while many firefighters did.

I only recently became aware of the 10 minute warning in the South Tower. That too was from a video and I want to say that it might have even been in one of the BBC "documentaries". It was one of the fire chiefs talking about the warning coming from a scientist of some kind who happened to be there with the Rudy crowd.

He said they were taking readings off the buildings and concluded they were going to fall down (which, of course, is ridiculous).

Oddly, in a CDI report in Popular Mechanics, one thing they say they do is to bring in scientists (sizmologists? I know my spelling sucks) to monitor the effects of the demolitions on other buildings so that someone can't come back later and claim damage to their buildings.

I wondered in a report I did if that was the same scientist that CDI uses...

but I have also seen a statement from a firefighter saying that the helicopter also gave a warning in the first collapse.

but anyway, there you have it. The warnings apparently from the "scientist" and from the police helicopter flying above that "saw the tower leaning". If I can remember the films I saw the statements in, I will let you know.

Wait a minute... wasn't there a recent paper (maybe DRG?) which illustrated a talk between a low ranking firefighter and one of the captan's in the South Tower? As I recall, the low ranking guy went up to the captain or something and tried to tell him that a warning came in over the radio that the people in the helicopter said the building was going to collapse and the captain yelled at the guy "What the fuck are you talking about? Who told you that? That's crazy." or something to that effect.
