4. Fire wasnt at Fox News

Fox News is story 1 of the News Corp building. The fire was on the top floors of an over 40 story building.

6. Yes, and if you were more cogent, you'd realize that they're actually in the Exxon Building.

I happen to know that because I once worked right across the street, at 1251 Avenue of the Americas.

So, fire at the Exxon Corporate building that just happens to rent out to the Fox News operation...coincides with another fire in the OVP. Strange, eh?

12. Here ya go.

"The 45-story News Corporation building at 1211 6th Ave. houses the offices of the Fox Broadcasting Company and The New York Post."

Five people were injured this morning in a chemical explosion on the top floor of the News Corporation tower in Midtown, officials said.

13. Try googling 'XYZ Buildings", and you'll find their history

Edited on Wed Dec-19-07 09:22 PM by dave123williams

1211 is the Celanese building, next door is the McGraw-Hill building, next door to that is the Exxon building. All were designed by this guy:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Harrison

Who was the Rockefeller family architect. They are currently owned and managed by these guys:

http://www.rockefellergroup.com/

Who currently wholly own the largest real-estate management firm in the world, called Cushman-Wakefield.

This might help you better understand the connection of the Rockefeller family to Standard Oil, Exxon, and Rockefeller Center:

9. where there's smoke there's fire?

Why would the principals draw attention to themselves, given an unlimited shredding budget? I'll bet the WH is filled with smoke detectors after what happened in 1812.
