Most large office buildings have a standby generator, especially if they contain businesses that rely heavily on computers. Some are fueled by natural gas (which has its own problems) but many are still diesel. They're vented and on their own standby circuit and ordinarily don't cause any problems to anybody.

I don't know whether the standby generator was installed for a particular tenant or was part of the original construction, but they're very common.

So is the red building they close-up on the WTC 7?

Thanks for the link; if I understand it better I can use this in the future. Indeed, there are alot of morons there on YouTube arguing how horrible the US is and would do this itself, etc.

I HATE THESE PEOPLE.

About as much as the Moslems.

Whose generator and whose diesel? Why was that allowed?

A significant number of enterprises have backup power--hospitals and many financial exchanges come to mind. It would be allowed by the city after due review of the proposed installation.

I think Smith Barney was in WTC 7, which would account for the need for a large generator in case the power went down.

It just went down a whole lot harder than anybody anticipated. There isn't any way you can plan for this sort of contingency.

"Debris falling in an arc would fall father away from the base before hitting the lower floors of WTC7."

Moron speaking?

What, besides a projectile, could be "falling in an arc?"

This kind of analysis without data is not helpful.

The BMW plant here in Greenville has enough generators to operate completely off the grid. Should the need arise in case of a power outage.

Read the facts. And by the way, Rosie up your behind.

You don’t seem to understand that our Republic is under fire, and I’m not going to listen to your explanations, Democratic.Republication, it doesn’t matter anymore. If people don’t wake up it will be too late.

No other sreel structured building has ever collaped due to fire. Please do your own research.

Suddenly, THREE buildings collapse one the same day. Sorry, but I’m a realist.

Couldn’t have anything to do with planes full of jet fuel smashing into them at high speed.

If you were a realist, you might research what it takes to wire a building for demolition. It can’t be done with people coming and going 24/7, and there would be so much cutting prep work and running fuse, etc. that it would be an obvious mess.

See http://911research.wtc7.net/cache/wtc/analysis/wtc7/nty_burningdiesel.html for a clue.

BTW it was Salomon Brothers in WTC 7.

Is that you, Alex JOnes? ... Or are you ... oh, never mind. Van Jones is on the loose again so all best are off.

According to this old article from 1993, the WTC had several back-up generators, exceeding NYC codes, and they were studying moving them out of the basement.

http://www.nytimes.com/1993/03/04/nyregion/the-twin-towers-explosion-may-yield-new-building-codes.html

It isn’t surprising they had back-up generators, even running emergency systems in building that size would facilitate the need.

Name another set of high rise buildings struck by a 100 ton jet full of fuel.

By the way, I suggest you run down to your local auto body shop and ask one of the welders to show you how a quick temper can weaken steel (if you are too lazy to educate yourself, basically, a hard piece of steel can be made more mailable simply by running a torch quickly over it). It didn’t need to ‘melt’, just to lose its structural integrity.

Wall, meet head.

These antiAmerican commies like Van Jones need to be purged from out midst. They will be the first to hand the enemy a weapon when they land ashore.

Who held the insurance policies on these buildings?

Larry Siverstein owned the the five trade center buidings, I don’t know about the one you mentioned. Please do your own research.
