A photographer named Tom Franklin was near Building 7 at around 4pm. He remarked, "Firemen evacuated the area as they prepared for the collapse of Building Seven. We were catching out breath, drinking water and juice, when I decided to walk back towards the debris. It was between 4 and 5pm. I would say I was 150 yards away when I saw the firefighters raising the flag."

This strongly indicates that somebody told the firefighters to stay away from Building 7 because it was about to collapse. Why would firefighter stay away from a building unless the knew it was going to collapse? No fire had ever caused the collapse of a steel building before and there were only two small fires that were blazing.

Why were the firefighters warned to stay away from buildings while the people in the twin towers were ordered to STAY IN the buildings AFTER both planes had hit?

Before either of the twin towers collapsed, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and his associates were told to leave the headquarters they had set up within Building 7.

"We were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse," Rudolph Giuliani told Peter Jennings of ABC News that morning, "and it did collapse before we could get out of the building."

Despite this, Giuliani fled WTC 7 at least eight hours before it collapsed. How did he know that the twin towers were going to collapse if it was such an unprecedented occurance? Why didn't the firefighters on the ground get the same warning?

Duh. Two 100 story steel frame buildings had just collaped around the corner, think MAYBE the resulting shaking AND fire damage MIGHT make engineers think Building 7 might collapse?

And from a conspiracy point of view why warn the firefighters? If "Bushco" was behind the whole why not have a couple hundred more dead firefighters? Like I said take your meds.

what are you smoking?......

you have two of the most prestigious engineering feats in the world hit by planes causing untold damage and I am telling you THAT NO ONE EVER PLANS FOR THAT sort of attack.....

you have an attack..you know buildings shook and explosions have taken place....YOU BETTER WELL PLAN THAT THERE COULD BE PERIPHERAL DAMAGE BECAUSE IN THIS CASE THERE ARE NO PRECEDENTS.....

IOWS, you go overboard in your response......

Danm well they did evacuate the other buildings...

as far as the chaos of that day, I can certainly see how wrong info could be passed on to people.....

the fire dept and police dept did not work together due to poor communications.....

the truely amazing thing is that SO FEW DIED......gee, if I wanted to really muck up the situation wouldn't I hope that 25,000 would perish, not 3000?
