Forewarning of the WTC2 Collapse -- Captain Joseph Pfeiffer's testimony
Edited on Mon Aug-15-05 10:57 AM by spooked911
The PDF file of his testimony is here:
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/20050812_WTC_GRAPHIC/met_WTC_histories_full_01.html

"But right before the south tower

collapsed, I noticed a lot of people just left the lobby, and I

heard we had a crew of all different people,

high-level people in government, everybody was gone,

almost like they had information that we didn't have.

Some of them were moved across the street to the

command post.

Q. Who were you with at this time?

A. You name them, they were there.

Q. With you?

A. Yes, in the lobby. They were moving the

command post."


From page 6.

He was in the North tower lobby when the South tower collapsed.

The rest of his testimony is interesting as well: he was outside and saw the first plane hit the first tower, and thus was one of the first firemen at the scene (he describes a big hole but NO fire). He also described a warning to the firemen that a second plane is coming to hit the second tower. Weird stuff.

As I was walking towards the Fire command
post, I found Steve Mosiello. I said, Steve, where's
the boss? I have to give him a message. He said,
well, what's the message? I said the buildings are
going to collapse; we need to evac everybody out. With
a very confused look he said who told you that? I said
I was just with John at OEM. OEM says the buildings
are going to collapse; we need to get out.

He escorted me over to Chief Ganci. He said,
hey, Pete, we got a message that the buildings are
going to collapse. His reply was who the fuck told you
that? Then Steve brought me in and with Chief Ganci,
Commissioner Feehan, Steve, I believe Chief Turi was
initially there, I said, listen, I was just at OEM.
The message I was given was that the buildings are
going to collapse; we need to get our people out. At
that moment, this thunderous, rolling roar came down
and that's when the building came down, the first tower
came down.


This is also interesting in light of collapse warning:

I questioned as to what the nature of the
evacuation was. I was told that it was not because of
what was occurring across the street. No one feared
that the building was in any danger as a result of two
airplane attacks and subsequent fires,
but that there
were reports of a third plane that had been hijacked.
It was unidentified, the location, and they thought it
may be coming in for an additional strike. Therefore,
they were evacuating the building.
