WTC 7 Emergency Head Was Building Collapse Specialist

The former New York City chief emergency manager Jerome Hauer, whose office was on the 23d floor of WTC 7, was also a building collapse specialist, according to a recently uncovered New York Times article. Hauer has attracted suspicion from the 9/11 truth movement because of his zeal to push the official story in the hours after the attack when details were still sketchy.

Hauer was also Managing Director of Kroll Associates - the company that provided security for the WTC complex on 9/11 - and he also betrayed advance knowledge of the anthrax attacks a week before they happened.

In a July 27 1999 NY Times article unearthed by 9/11 Blogger entitled What Could Go Wrong? It’s His Job to Know, Hauer is given a glowing write-up by journalist Randy Kennedy.

“There is one story he tells in which this fascination is quite literal….But another illustration, a bit more metaphorical, is hard to miss when you walk into his office on the 23rd floor of 7 World Trade Center, otherwise known as ”the bunker,” the $13 million bulletproof, hurricane-proof, blackout-proof emergency crisis center opened by the city last month.”

The article describes Building 7 for what it was, a structurally reinforced immovable object built for the express purpose of standing strong in a crisis situation, not the weakling tinderbox that allegedly became the first steel building in history to collapse from fire damage alone, according to debunkers like the BBC, the History Channel, Popular Mechanics and others.

Indeed, as the NY Times quotes Larry Silverstein as stating in 1989, WTC 7 designers “Built in enough redundancy to allow entire portions of floors to be removed without affecting the building’s structural integrity,” a solid structure that was again improved upon that year with “More than 375 tons of steel - requiring 12 miles of welding.”

    • The problem with WTC 7 was structural. Hurricane proofing and blast proofing have absolutely nothing to do with the structural integrity of the building. That building was doomed as soon as it was hit by WTC1's antenna. The load could not be redistributed over the cantelevered structure that spanned the ConEd substations. The unchecked fires on several floors were a contributing factor to the collapse, but many experts have concluded that the building very well could have collapsed even without the fires.

    • Right On TexasPatriot67! Since November, 1963 the "sheeple" of America have bought the crapola the media et al shove down our throats as truth. I never did buy any of the BUSHIT and I can hardly wait to see what comes next. Meanwhile, I'm proud of websites like Current and Smoking Gun. They're two places I can get some REAL information. I watched those towers go down. I saw first-hand the Dunes Hotel implosion and those towers went the same way...systematic implosion...no doubt about it! Oh, and how about the missing plane that hit the Pentagon? WTF? Why Americans buy into the stories we're told is beyond me!
