Do you think that the NYC fire department would have ordered 343
firefighters into the buildings on 9/11 if they *knew* that they were
"rushing into a collapsing World Trade Center?"


Yeah. I'm sure they looked up at that mass of flame and said, "hey, no
worries, my boss says it's OK."

Non sequitur.



The NYFD went into the towers to fight the fires and save victims, fully
expecting to succeed in putting the fires out, not to pointlessly
sacrifice
their lives for nothing in a building doomed to imminent collapse.

Well, since you were obviously there...

As I said, if you disbelieve me, then why don't you ask the NYFD? Because
you're an ass, that's why, and you know that asking would make you more of
an ass...if that's possible.



Your implication that somebody else ought to throw their life away just to
try to pull your sorry ass out of some cleft stick you've stuck it into is
unbelievably arrogant.


And to sit there and and make sure there's no personal risk to you before
you do anything is pathetic.

Where, exactly, did I say that I'd "make sure there's no personal risk?"
Nowhere, that's where.


Would you care to make an ass of yourself again, or have you had enough?

I'll leave that to you, hero.

Okay, my pleasu You're an ass.
