Locked Fire Doors Prevented Rooftop Rescue From WTC Towers.

Feedback: "How could a helicopter have gotten close enough, all the smoke?"
Reply: The downdraft from the rotors would have cleared the smoke sufficiently to carry out a rescue.

The image at left above was taken by NYPD helo pilot Detective Greg Semendinger on September 11, 2001 - In 1993 after a bomb exploded in the WTC basement garage sending thick smoke up through the stairwells, Semendinger had lowered two men to the roof of the same North Tower, who removed antennas to clear a landing area from which twenty eight workers were airlifted to safety.

Within minutes of the first air strike on the World Trade Center September 11, 2001, an NYPD Bell 412 helicopter with a 250 foot hoist and a three man crew trained for rooftop rescues, piloted by Detective Greg Semendinger arrived at the WTC, he made no effort to rescue those who were trapped behind the locked fire doors in the upper levels of both towers.

The Talmud: "If you see a Christian in difficulty or drowning do not go to his help and if he is in danger of death do not save him," the lack of effort was Jews responding to the mores of Judah. Semendinger should be prosecuted as a capital offender for making no effort to save them, his arrest should be at the Precinct House where the rest of New York's foulest in situ will be required to disarm, while any that don't will be regarded as enemy combatants!
