Firefighters for 9-11 Truth is a non-partisan association of firefighters and affiliates created to increase awareness, provide public education, demand a real investigation that follows National Standards, and provide support to our Brothers and Sisters in need. We are deeply troubled by the \u201cofficial\u201d story, and the way the rescue workers from Ground Zero are being forgotten.<\/p>\n

We believe there is overwhelming evidence of obstruction of justice, and destruction of evidence voiced even by numerous 9\/11 Commissioners themselves. Senator Cleland resigned from the Commission stating, \u201cThis investigation is now compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n

NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 921, which is the National Standard for Fire and Explosion Investigations, very clearly indicates in numerous sections that the possibility of explosives should have been thoroughly investigated. Specifically in NFPA 921 18.3.2 High Order Damage – \u201cHigh-order damage is characterized by shattering of the structure, producing small, pulverized debris. Walls, roofs, and structural members are splintered or shattered, with the building completely demolished. Debris is thrown great distances, possibly hundreds of feet. High-order damage is the result of rapid rates of pressure rise.\u201d World Trade Center\u2019s 1, 2, and 7 all clearly met this definition; therefore they should have been thoroughly investigated and analyzed for explosives. Specifically, the use of \u201cexotic accelerants\u201d should have been investigated. In NFPA 921 19.2.4 -\u201dExotic Accelerants,\u201d three indicators were clearly met that should have led to a thorough investigation in to the possible use of \u201cexotic accelerants,\u201d specifically as stated in the guideline, \u201cThermite mixtures.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, why was the possibility of explosives, controlled demolition, or the use of \u201cexotic accelerants\u201d not thoroughly investigated, or even mentioned in the 9-11 Commission Report?<\/p>\n

Firefighters for 9-11 Truth demand the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A truly independent investigation with Subpoena and Contempt Powers to uncover the complete truth of the events related to 9\/11\/2001 \u2013 specifically the collapse of WTC Tower 7 and the possibility of explosive demolition.<\/li>\n
  2. The investigation to follow the national standards so clearly outlined in the National Fire Protection Association guidelines, specifically, NFPA 921 to include thorough analysis of the steel for the presence of \u201cexotic accelerants.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Congress to honor the promises made to the rescue workers of 9\/11 by passing the James Zadroga 9\/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2008.<\/li>\n
  4. Prosecution of all individuals willfully involved in the planning, and execution of the murders committed on September 11, 2001.<\/li>\n
  5. Prosecution of all individuals willfully involved in the Obstruction of Justice and Destruction of Evidence surrounding the events of September 11, 2001.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We challenge you to look at the evidence with an open mind and make judgments. Remember, you don\u2019t have to be an expert to sit on a jury, and you have the right to be critical of, and demand answers from the \u201cexperts.\u201d Take the time to gather facts, and have the courage to ask for more. If you come to the same conclusion as the FBI, and don\u2019t place him on your \u201cmost wanted\u201d list, then\u00a0have the courage\u00a0to help find those responsible for the death of so many of our Brothers and Sisters. We all need to show some courage by demanding answers, justice, and fair treatment for the Ground Zero Rescue Workers!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
