Leaked FEMA/ASCE Draft Report On WTC Collapse
securitas writes "The New York Times obtained a copy of the World Trade Center draft report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Society of Civil Engineers about the engineering failures that caused the towers to collapse. Among the findings: 'Fireproofing, sprinkler systems and the water supply for hoses were all disabled and the fires generated heat equivalent to the energy output of a nuclear power plant' reports the NYT (Yahoo link). Amazingly, if it wasn't for the fire (or another secondary catastrophic force), the towers would have remained standing."
Dam your Cynical but unfortunately I think your right, It would be good if we could see if the bosses did indeed get such a perk, but alas it would only dishearten as all the more so for these obvious deviants of society. I hope they can sleep now, even with there millions in the bank.

The only real criticism I have of the WTC incident was that it wasn't as effective as it could have been. The planes should have hit more near the base of the buildings, that way more people would have been trapped and burned to death.
Every time the President addresses congress, one member of cabinet stays away, in case the Capitol blows up. I used to think that was absurd, someone in government was a little off their rocker with that policy. After 11 Sept 01, I realized that a 747 into the Capitol could easily wipe out the entire US Government... then I realized that this was exactly what Washington needed. Nuke all those brain-dead politicians, and find us a batch that won't pass crap like the DMCA, and the SSSSSSCA
Reality has a liberal bias
Yeah, the sprinklers were "shut off" the night before by one of the 3,000 Jews who happened to not go to work that day in the tower. This was coordinated by the Masad & the CIA months in advance.
