Coverup at Ground Zero: Selling Out the Investigation, by Bill Manning

Bill Manning er redaktør av prestisjetunge Fire Engineering Magazine. I januar 2002 skrev han denne artikkelen hvor krass kritikk rettes mot FEMAs granskning, og fjerningen og destruksjonen av stål/bevis fra Ground Zero.

PS – «Skeptiker» og konspirasjonskritiker Jan S. Haugland (Skepsis.no) hevder denne bevisforspillelsen ikke fant sted. Han hevder også at vi konspirasjonsteoretikere er uredelige.

Did they throw away the locked doors from the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire? Did they throw away the gas can used at the Happyland Social Club Fire? Did they cast aside the pressure-regulating valves at the Meridian Plaza Fire? Of course not. But essentially, that’s what they’re doing at the World Trade Center.

For more than three months, structural steel from the World Trade Center has been and continues to be cut up and sold for scrap. Crucial evidence that could answer many questions about high-rise building design practices and performance under fire conditions is on the slow boat to China, perhaps never to be seen again in America until you buy your next car.

Such destruction of evidence shows the astounding ignorance of government officials to the value of a thorough, scientific investigation of the largest fire-induced collapse in world history. I have combed through our national standard for fire investigation, NFPA 921, but nowhere in it does one find an exemption allowing the destruction of evidence for buildings over 10 stories tall.
