"I have 2 questions that I would like answers to. If you cannot or will not answer them, I would appreciate at least acknowledgment of the questions rather than just to ignore them. The first involves your father, the 2nd is for you.

1) I'm sure since 9/11/01 you have seen and heard about the controversial statement your dad made about "pulling WTC 7" on 9/11. He later said that his comment to "pull it" meant that he was pulling the firefighters from the building. If the building collapsed at 5:30pm, yet many many sources I have studied said the last firefighters left the building at 11:30am, then how could your dad have meant "pull it" was for the firefighters since there was no firefighters in the building for 6 hours?

2) What were you doing in WTC 7 on 9/11/01? What time did you leave WTC 7 and in your best opinion, why do you think WTC 7 collapsed despite there being very small fires and even no explanation from FEMA for the collapse?

I have seen the footage of WTC 7 collapse from several angles and numerous times. You can clearly see the penthouse on the very top of the building begin to collapse first. You can clearly see the "kink" in the building that is a signature of all other controlled demolitions. These "kinks" are really the very first explosion that happens in a controlled demolition so that the building falls in on itself. The footage of WTC 7's collapse shows the "kink". You can also see blast points up and down the building as it collapses. If this building was NOT purposely demolished, how do you explain the signature characteristics of a controlled demolition? The building also falls in free fall time, straight down...not crumbling, but falling straight down in about 6 seconds. How do you explain this other than controlled demolition? My answer is, you can't, but I am very much interested in YOUR answer anyway.

Thank you for your time. Your response to my email is greatly anticipated.

"I received your e-mail once before and after my response will no longer respond.

You need to spend your time more wisely by reading and understanding the true facts of 9/11, instead of the garbage you read from conspiracy theories. 

For your information, the correct story is that 7 WTC came down as a result of a massive fire that was ignited from fuel tanks located within the Building's base floors, in turn causing the steel to melt and buckle upon a number of hours of burning. Following the collapse of the Towers, 7 WTC became fully ablaze shortly thereafter. Firefighters tried to contain the blaze for some six hours, but due to very difficult conditions (rapid spread of the fire), could not bring the blaze under control.

To your conspiracy theory, think about this: would Silverstein Properties have ever been awarded by the Federal and State governments the wonderful task of rebuilding the most important real estate project in New York City's history if we acted improper in ANY way?  Think about it.

In short, we are doing the right thing for our country by rebuilding the World Trade Center site with state of the art, beautiful buildings, which will be part and parcel to the most wonderful and important project in our Country's history. 

Thank you for your questions."
