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.
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.
It just went down a whole lot harder than anybody anticipated. There isn't any way you can plan for this sort of contingency.
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.
Yeah, that’s your style. Let everyone see you for what you are!
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.
Nope. Try again.
You unAmerican commie pig. Go join your friend Van Jones and have fun with this weird garbage.
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.
Name another structure was struck by a plane loaded with jet fuel.
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.
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.
Keep on reading, we have a couple of Van Jones’ pals here.
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.
