Firefighters Call for New Investigation

Calling Out Bravo 7 | 2020 Edition (Official Version)

Why do firefighters commit to high-rise fires without fear of total collapse? Because the science of fire behavior — and decades of experience — tell them it won’t happen.

Calling Out Bravo 7 explores the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 through the eyes of those who know fire best.

This concrete and steel-framed high-rise wasn’t hit by a plane — yet it dropped in under seven seconds, straight down, at near free-fall acceleration.

Through fire physics, building design, and real-world training, veteran firefighters explain why the official story doesn’t add up — and why it’s time to take a second look.

The bottom line here is that the American public has not been told the complete truth about the events of that fateful autumn morning 18 years ago.

The almost 3,000 innocent people who were murdered right before our eyes that day cannot speak. So, it is left up to us to speak for them and demand that their voices be heard and a court of law with subpoena power and an impartial jury to consider all of the evidence by placing 9/11 under a microscope and investigating everything and anything down to the smallest of details.

I demand to know, as should everyone, especially the media, why important testimony from made that day from over 150 police, firefighters, and first responders regarding explosions wasn’t included in the commission report, nor investigated further.

Why didn’t the FBI or NIST examine the wreckage for explosives?

Why wasn’t ground zero considered a crime scene and sealed off and processed accordingly?

Why was crucial evidence of melted structural steel suppressed and not even considered or worse yet allowed to be carted off and destroyed?

Why won’t after 18 years mainstream media such as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or Fox News (and if Fox News here, I take that back and I apologize) report on any of this, let alone ask the hard questions of how and why certain things occurred the way they did, especially in the collapse of the third World Trade Center building Building Number 7 that most people don’t even know about.

And finally, why can’t Americans hear about FDNY Battalion Chief Oreo Palmer, who succeeded in making it to the point of impact on the 78th floor of the South Tower with his men and reported that he had “two isolated pockets of fire” and that “we should be able to knock it down with two lines”? So, he made it up to the fire floor and he saw what was going on and, contradicting the official storyline that it was a raging fire up there, here’s a brave fireman who made it onto the fire floor and was doing his job. One minute after the final transmission, the South Tower collapsed.

Why can’t Americans hear that it took a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act by the New York Times to get the fire department tapes released so that the public could hear exactly what the firefighters said - this occurring in August of 2005, almost exactly a year after 9/11 commission had disbanded? That is not justice.

So it would seem until now that we have left unmolested those who set fire to the house and prosecuted those who sounded the alarm.

But that is changing. People lie, but the facts don’t. All the American people want now after 18 years is the truth based on the facts and the remaining forensic evidence and what can be proved in a court of law. That is why we are here today.

Three hundred and forty three firefighters including three of my good friends - Thomas Hatzel, Bobby Evans, and Mike Keefer - perished that day. And these were some of the best and the bravest people in the world. And they along with the rest of those who were murdered and died horrible deaths deserve justice.
