The Man Inside Building 7: Richard Rotanz on his Role at Ground Zero

When it comes to calling for a new 9/11 investigation, Richard Rotanz is unique.

The retired FDNY fire captain and First Deputy Commissioner of the Office of Emergency Management in 2001 does not support the AE911Truth position that the World Trade Center towers were destroyed using explosives, but he does think a new investigation should be done of what did bring them down.

Rotanz joins host Andy Steele and co-host Craig McKee on the latest episode of 9/11 Free Fall to share his harrowing experiences at Ground Zero and to explain why he agreed to add his name to a document summarizing the WTC evidence produced by members of the Truth Movement. This document is being used in the effort to get a presidential commission formed to reexamine 9/11.

Rotanz explains in the interview that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) failed to adequately investigate why WTC 7 came down, which is why he agrees with the Truth Movement that a new inquiry is needed and that it should look at the activities of all government agencies in New York City that day.

On NIST’s failure, he asks: “Were they held back? I couldn’t tell you. I can’t speculate.”

Rotanz’s account is important because he is one of the very few people who can talk about what he saw inside Building 7 after both Twin Towers had already come down. In this remarkable interview, he describes being inside Building 7 when he saw and heard the first jet roar past just prior to hitting the North Tower. He says he went to the lobby of that tower to set up a command post but had to abandon that when the South Tower was hit.

When he returned to Building 7 and after the Twin Towers had both come down, he recommended that Building 7 be evacuated along with WTC 4 and 5. He and a colleague went up to the eighth floor of WTC 7 and saw an elevator car that had been blown entirely out of its shaft, coming to rest down the hall about 30 feet from the shaft, which had been damaged on several floors.

Rotanz claims that this was caused by debris that had fallen from the North Tower.

“In the south wall we saw huge gaping holes the size of Mack trucks,” he said, adding that while inside Building 7 he came to fear that it would at some point collapse.

How does Rotanz’s account fit with the evidence?
