You guys are idiots. I suppose with all the warning signs, you would have sent your people in there regardless with reckless abandon and not cared for their safety right?

But they had a hoseline operating. Like I said, it was hitting the sidewalk across the street, but eventually they pulled back too. Then we received an order from Fellini, weÂ’re going to make a move on 7. That was the first time really my stomach tightened up because the building didnÂ’t look good. I was figuring probably the standpipe systems were shot. There was no hydrant pressure. I wasnÂ’t really keen on the idea. Then this other officer IÂ’m standing next to said, that building doesnÂ’t look straight. So IÂ’m standing there. IÂ’m looking at the building. It didnÂ’t look right, but, well, weÂ’ll go in, weÂ’ll see.
So we gathered up rollups and most of us had masks at that time. We headed toward 7. And just around we were about a hundred yards away and Butch Brandies came running up. He said forget it, nobodyÂ’s going into 7, thereÂ’s creaking, there are noises coming out of there, so we just stopped. And probably about 10 minutes after that, Visconti, he was on West Street, and I guess he had another report of further damage either in some basements and things like that, so Visconti said nobody goes into 7, so that was the final thing and that was abandoned.
