No, not really. Not when they can look at the circuit panel and see that there are faulty circuits, they aren't going to test for accelerants. Your
argument is based on personal ignorance.

I am sorry but an investigation which does not cover at least all the BASIC angles is a farce.
Argument from personal ignorance noted.

If you are seriously saying that firefighters on the scene saying they heard explosions is not a good enough reason to test for accelerants and
explosives in what has been an TERRORIST ATTACK, well I am really curious on your train of thought in detail.
First off, a test for accelerants would have been a waste of time. There were many known accelerants in the building.
Explosions =/= explosives. Explosions are common in highrise fires.
Do you think there were bombs in the building, and the FDNY/NYPD never evacuated their men or advised their men to avoid the area? This is SOP. In
fact, the NYPD notified the Manhattan dispatch on 9/11 to warn of a report of a bomb in the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. Guess what the FDNY dispatch
did? he advised all incoming units to avoid the area.
Why didn't they do this as GZ?

whitnesses on the scene said they head explosions was a correct one?
Because a test for accelerants and explosives would have been a waste of time. Explosions in highrise fires are common. There is no other evidence
of any kind of explosion consistant with any kind of bomb.

I say it was wrong and the tests should have been done, better to err on the side of caution on this one.
Good thing you're not a fire investigator. You're basing this argument on personal ignorance.

I say you should study up on NFPA 921. Maybe then you'll understand where Erik goes so horribly wrong.
