CHANGE Covers Deutsche Bank Building Fire
19 08 2007We Are Change WAS THE ONLY LIVE BROADCAST OF THIS FIRE FOR HOURS
If you were watching Saturday’s Broadcast, you saw the whole thing LIVE.
Two FireFighters Died, they were Joseph Graffagnino (Right), 33, of Brooklyn, who had been with the department for eight years, and Robert Beddia(Left), 53, of Staten Island. An official said he had been with the fire department 23 years and was the senior firefighter on the scene.
WeAreChange wishes to offer our condolences to the families.
WeAreChange.org in another historic first was the ONLY news crew in the entire city of New York to cover the fire that broke out Saturday on the 17th floor of the former Deutsche Bank office building. Using our citizen based press with rapid response times and providing live coverage on the internet proves that the alternative media can not only take over, but do a better job. Utilizing our mobile internet camera technology we were able to provide streaming video to everyone in the world within seconds of the first sign of smoke.
This steel frame building was burning pretty good then. So, how long did it take to collapse due to the weakened steel? If someone tells me this building didn’t collapse I know they are lying to me because 9/11 proved that is what happens when a steel framed building burns for at least 56 minutes and I think I heard this fire burned for a couple of hours or so.
Good job to the WeAreChange.org crew in NY for getting the scoop on this news story and my heart goes out to the families of the latest 9/11 related casualties in NY city (since this was a building right next to 1 of the towers that was heavily damaged by debris (and yet never collapsed due to that)).
