Why didn't Rudy evac the second tower? That is what I wanna know.

Why did Rudy's people tell them to stay put and not to evac?

being spread.

Great comeback to a dumb line of reasoning.

Good thing we didn't trust him to handle that aspect.

If they can attack the Mayor of New Orleans, we can attack their precious Rudy.

hit that right on the head.

to me it was only logical to evacuate the second tower immediately because of it being so close to the first tower. To bad the people in the second tower didn't evacuate by themselves.

Lots of questions, but you won't get any answers.

He's a hero, doncha know?

I NEVER think of good things to post in GD and I swear I was JUST getting ready to post this exact question!

GMTA! Excellent point!

:pals:

He let people hang around the Trade Center watching the fires!

He never asked for a mandatory clearing south of Canal until late in the day!

I often wonder WHY the man is always heralded as some big 9/11 hero. He didn't do anything especially helpful that any other mayor would not have done after the fact.

As far as not ordering an evac of the second tower - well, I don't know how the man sleeps at night, to be honest.

he strung together sentences and cogently answered questions.
he looked positively brilliant compared to chimpy, who was busy soiling his undergarments somewhere over the central plains at the time.

in fact, he almost reminded people of -- bill clinton -- you know, back when politicians can INFORMATIVE responses rather than marketing responses.


results and actions are only things to blame democrats for, don'cha know?

of 9/11 have been asking Rudi questions for many years ~ remember the hearings? How the families attacked him and told him to 'shut up' about what he 'hero' he was and to start answering some questions?

Rudi Giuliani neglected the city of NY for years, ignoring the terrorist threat to a city that everyone knew had already been struck once in 1993 and that several other terrorist plots had been uncovered which he ignonred.

He did NOTHING on 9/11 to save lives that I'm aware of. And those of us who live here have been literally flabbergasted at the 'hero' title applied to him, that so many just accepted blindly without ever asking him hard questions regarding his failure to protect the city.

He kept telling NYers for years, that they lived in the 'safest city in the world'. By that he meant that he had declared war on the poor, the homeless etc.

Yet, if it was so safe, many NYers asked, why did he build a bunker to run to for himself and his cronies? The only reason we saw him wandering, dazed, on the streets of NY that day was because his bunker was not accessible, he being dumb enough to build it in a target area, which he was warned about.

I hope one day, he is held accountable for his failure to evacuate the second tower, for not making sure that first responders had the communications equipment they needed and lacked, causing many of the deaths that day. But mostly for ignoring all the warnings he received long before 9/11 ever happened.

And he has a horrible record of supporting police brutality against minorities. That too, should not be forgotten. NYers had regected him by over 75% before 9/11. Like so many others, he benefited enormously from 9/11. And profited enormously also. Answer some questions, Rudi. The victims' families want answers ~

It ran right underneath the the World Trade Center! He also had literally hundreds of buses in his city.

How many people died because Rudy didn't evacuate?

Bush, too. But perception is the reality...unfortunately for us.

on 9/11. Guliani at least hung around and was visible. It made his at
least look like a grown-up doing his job. Meanwhile, no one even knew
where Bush was!

of the Towers (was it a Tower or that other building)??

to raise money for victims, and what happened to it all?? They were all paid nifty salaries...Ellis Hennican wrote a piece on it--it was like a con job.

One of the much, much shorter structures in the complex.

It's only Democrats who get dissed for that sort of thing.

1st and 2nd towers...I've slept since then.

I never heard that

after the second plane hit?

I gave this comeback to someone on another message board on Sunday. I also asked why the police and firefighter radio transmission was so crappy.

FIRST one, even.

Why not, huh?

Come on, freepers, y'all want to jump all over mayors here, let's do it! Answer the questions, would you...or are you chicken?

Why, in the nonstop network coverage that day, did no anchor person or reporter ever ask the main, logical question upon the destruction of the buildings:

How complete were evacuation procedures at the time of their destruction?

Perhaps the question could not be answered with certainty, but with the main concern obviously being loss of life, it really bothered me that, whatever network(s) I was watching, the question was NEVER asked.

Perhaps my question ties directly to yours.

That *is* the question, isn't it?!

It was indeed the role of the federal government to realize what was going on and address those needs.

I bow before you and your ability to see so clearly. :patriot:

It was their property and they were in the position to call people in their offices and give them insane directions.

I'm not defending him, I despised him then and still do. But that was the situation.

would the Port Authority have told them that?
