-Pacifica Radio interview - April 27th 2005:Hosted by Bonnie FalknerGuest: Indira Singh (Ground Zero Emergency Worker)Bonnie: How long did you work as an emergency medical technician and exactly what is it that you were doing (at ground zero)?Indira: ...when I got there we were setting up triage sites (at ground zero), close, very close to the area. The triage site that I was setting up was behind, well, to the east of Building 7 where Building 7 came down......we were setting up triages as close to the pile as possible? so what we were doing was setting up different kinds of stations? IV stations, cardiac stations, wound stations, burn stations ...just trying to have an organized space. What happened with that particular triage site is that pretty soon afternoon, after mid-day on 9/11 we had to evacuate that because they told us Building 7 was coming down... I do believe that they brought Building 7 down... By noon or one o'clock they told us we had to move from that triage site up to Pace University a little further away because Building 7 was going to come down or being brought down.Bonnie: Did they actually use the word "brought down" and who was it that was telling you this?Indira: The fire department... the fire department and they did use the word "we're going to have to bring it down."Excerpt from above is heard approximately ten minutes into the interview.Audio: <a class="user" href="http://www.gunsandbutter.net/archives.php?si=78&quot;&gt;http://www.gunsandbutter.net/archives.php?si=78&lt;/a&gt;Show description and info about Indira Singh (scroll down to "April 27th 2005")<a class="user" href="http://www.gunsandbutter.net/archives.php?page=10&quot;&gt;http://www.gunsandbutter.net/archives.php?page=10&lt;/a&gt;Sep 20, 2006Pacifica Radio's Guns & ButterNew York Stories: 9/11 First RespondersFormer Air Force Speical Operations for Search and Rescue, Kevin McPaddenAudio stream:<a class="user" href="http://www.gunsandbutter.net/archives.php?si=142&quot;&gt;http://www.gunsandbutter.net/archives.php?si=142&lt;/a&gt;Show archive page is here:<a class="user" href="http://www.gunsandbutter.net/archives.php?page=3&quot;&gt;http://www.gunsandbutter.net/archives.php?page=3&lt;/a&gt;McPadden&#039;s speech begins at 46 minutes in@ 48:14 he makes the following comment about what he witnessed while at Ground Zero on 9/11..."They said you know you've got to stay behind this line because they're thinking about taking this building down, they're not sure if it's stable or not, so they were holding a line off because they had knowledge that something was gonna happen. Well, they pushed us back a little bit....a couple of minutes later they started coming down....people started coming back out to the street, I watched five New York City buses jam packed with people wanting to do search and rescue head down there towards Building 7 - people walk out into the middle of the street to see these people off, like bon voyage and right then Building 7 came down."Related information about Building 7:Former NYPD Officer & 9/11 First Responder Craig Bartmer:"I was real close to Building 7 when it fell down... That didn't sound like just a building falling down to me while I was running away from it. There's a lot of eyewitness testimony down there of hearing explosions. I didn't see any reason for that building to fall down the way it did -- and a lot of guys should be saying the same thing. I don't know what the fear is coming out and talking about it? I don't know -- but it's the truth."[...]"I walked around it (Building 7). I saw a hole. I didn't see a hole bad enough to knock a building down, though. Yeah there was definitely fire in the building, but I didn't hear any... I didn't hear any creaking, or... I didn't hear any indication that it was going to come down. And all of a sudden the radios exploded and everyone started screaming 'get away, get away, get away from it!'... It was at that moment... I looked up, and it was nothing I would ever imagine seeing in my life. The thing started pealing in on itself... Somebody grabbed my shoulder and I started running, and the s**t's hitting the ground behind me, and the whole time you're hearing "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom." I think I know an explosion when I hear it... Yeah it had some damage to it, but nothing like what they're saying... Nothing to account for what we saw... I am shocked at the story we've heard about it to be quite honest."Video Interview:<a class="user" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2283625397351664218&amp;q=Craig+Bartmer&amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2283625397351664218&amp;q=Craig+Bartmer&amp;hl=en&lt;/a&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reporter Al Jones: "People started to run away from the scene [WTC7] and I turned in time to see what looked like a skyscraper implosion -- looked like it had been done by a demolition crew -- the whole thing just collapsing down on itself and another big huge plume of gray and white smoke shooting up into the air and then more of the smoke billowing up the street here... so that?s number one, number two, and now number seven that have come down from this explosion."Live 9-11 Report from 1010 WINS NYC News Radio, presented in the documentary "911 Eyewitness" (Forward to 28:25)Video: <a class="user" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=65460757734339444&amp;q&quot;&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=65460757734339444&amp;q&lt;/a&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Emergency worker: "We were watching the building [WTC7] actually ?cause it was on fire? the bottom floors of the building were on fire and? we heard this sound that sounded like a clap of thunder? turned around -- we were shocked to see that the building was ah well it looked like there was a shockwave ripping through the building and the windows all busted out? it was horrifying? about a second later the bottom floor caved out and the building followed after that? we saw the building crash down all the way to the ground? we were in shock."Live 9-11 Report from 1010 WINS NYC News Radio, presented in the documentary "911 Eyewitness" (Forward to 31:30)Video: <a class="user" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=65460757734339444&amp;q&quot;&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=65460757734339444&amp;q&lt;/a&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Columbia Journalism Review ? May/June 2003, by Thomas FranklinExcerpt from an article written by award winning photographer, Thomas Franklin, who snapped the world famous photo of firemen raising the American flag at ground zero. In the article Franklin explains that all of ground zero was evacuated less than an hour before WTC 7 was demolished at approximately 5:20 pm on 9/11:"Much of what happened to me on September 11 is a blur, but this moment I clearly remember: It was 4:45 p.m., and all the firemen and rescue workers were evacuating Ground Zero after word came that a third building -- WTC 7 -- was ready to fall. I had only a few frames left, and an entire day's worth of pictures to develop, so I prepared to head back to New Jersey."Article: <a class="user" href="http://archives.cjr.org/year/02/2/franklin.asp&quot;&gt;http://archives.cjr.org/year/02/2/franklin.asp&lt;/a&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CBS News Anchor, Dan Rather, makes comments after Building 7 falls down:?Amazing, incredible pick your word.

And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse.?Video: <a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CahEva8zQas&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CahEva8zQas&lt;/a&gt;In the same documentary, America Rebuilds, a clean up worker at ground zero uses the term "pull" when preparing for the controlled demolition of Building 6: (Use of the word ?pull? as slang for ?demolish?)Unidentified Construction Worker: "Hello? Oh, we're getting ready to pull building six."Luis Mendes, NYC Dept of Design and Construction: "We had to be very careful how we demolished building six.

When first interviewed about the WTC buildings and their "collapses", Jowenko -- not being familiar with unconventional "Top Down" controlled demolition method, and not having studied information supporting WTC CD theories in depth -- stated that he did not think the twin towers were brought down by explosives. However, after examining WTC-7 information for the first time later on during the same interview, he stated that he believes building was a conventional "bottom up" demolition, which he has experience performing.Months after the interview (after he researched Building 7 in greater detail than he had during his original interview for a Dutch TV documentary about 9/11), Mr. Jowenko went on record again to say that he's still convinced explosives brought down Building 7. His current opinions and research about the towers are unknown at this time.Many "skeptics" argue that Mr. Jowenko is only 1 of thousands in the demolition industry who believe WTC-7 was a CD. This is a false and disingenuous claim, because it's unknown how many people experienced in demolition (or Structural design) actually believe in the WTC controlled demolition theory, or how many have actually studied it. Most have never gone on public record to say what they believe happened.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Structural Experts Say:"WTC-7 was with the greatest probability brought down by controlled demolition done by experts."Link: <a class="user" href="http://911blogger.com/node/2925&quot;&gt;http://911blogger.com/node/2925&lt;/a&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Video clips of World Trade Center Building 7 being "pulled" on 9/11:<a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr6_WRPZjIM&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr6_WRPZjIM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWemhf8fZ2w&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWemhf8fZ2w&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLnBSyc4ICo&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLnBSyc4ICo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th17YNqOCSk&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th17YNqOCSk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmL9F-TSIes&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmL9F-TSIes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewf3zYS-QkA&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewf3zYS-QkA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzLqx_gjBAg&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzLqx_gjBAg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwjmqkjwnvQ&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwjmqkjwnvQ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uPfKghBIOY&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uPfKghBIOY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFsXzKa2ce0&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFsXzKa2ce0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0scE7bQWdk&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0scE7bQWdk&lt;/a&gt;7 minute video presentation on the destruction of Building 7 on 9/11...<a class="user" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4556787288866368337&amp;sourceid=docidfeed&amp;hl=undefined&quot;&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4556787288866368337&amp;sourceid=docidfeed&amp;hl=undefined&lt;/a&gt;
