Curt Weldon: "Tucker, 9/11 (Boulding collapse) It's A Big Lie"

Curt Weldon: They are the only tall buildings in the world that have collapsed due to the impact of an airplane. I read the report from the architect who designed them: they were built to withstand the impact of a plane and remain standing.

Tucker Carlson: And especially Building 7, which wasn’t hit by any airplane, right?

Curt Weldon: No plane hit it. And the building just — if you watch it on television — it implodes straight down.

What really struck me was Oriel Palmer, that battalion chief who was going up. Oriel Palmer was one of the most inspiring battalion chiefs in New York, from the FDNY. He was in great physical shape, had a family, a couple of kids, and entered the building as soon as they arrived on the scene. He took the elevator up to the 40th floor, got out, and you can hear him on the radio saying: “I’m on the 40th floor. We’re going to start going up the stairs.”

Every five floors, he checks in: “I’m on the 50th floor. Everything is fine. We’re on the 60th floor. Everything is fine.” He’s going up and reporting. He gets to the 78th floor — the impact floor. He comes out of the stairwell and as clearly as you hear me now — and I know I get passionate and I apologize to your listeners for that — he says: “We’re on the 78th floor, the impact floor. There are two fires and we can control them.”

One minute later, the building completely collapses. That’s not normal. That’s not acceptable. That’s not what happened.

And this is recorded. The film is called Bravo 7. And if your viewers want it, if they contact you, I’ll give it to you. It’s free. It wasn’t produced in Hollywood. It was made by firefighters. It includes the footage, including the video of the firefighter communicating with the command center. You can clearly hear him say: “I’m on the impact floor, 78th floor. There are two fires here. We can control them.” And he’s calm. He’s not worried about the building collapsing. He had just climbed 38 floors — and the entire building collapses.

Tucker, it’s a big lie.
