Protecting All Protectors Alliance (PAPA) hosted a 10’x20′ WTC 7 evidence booth in Orlando, FL at the 2024 NFPA Conference. We brought to the attention of thousands of firefighters & fire protection engineers the facts and the critical need to re-investigate World Trade Center Building 7.
Our honored guests this year included four fire fighters: 1) Retired Seattle Fire Department Captain Raul Angulo – the author of the book about how to fight fires in buildings – Engine Company Fireground Operations, 4th edition, written partnership with the NFPA and Jones & Bartlett Learning; 2) Retired UK Firefighter Paul Kayley; 3) Retired Kansas City Fire Captain Tony Robbins; and 4) Retired Seattle Firefighter Erik Lawyer, founder of Protecting All Protectors Alliance.
We added 158 professional connections to the 500 who signed up for our information at the Boston and Las Vegas Conventions. It is critically important to educate the industry about the huge discrepancy between the NIST claims of WTC 7’s “collapse by fire” versus the reality of current high-rise firefighting strategies which involves setting up forward operating centers 2 floors below the fire and directing occupants above the fire to defend-in-place until the firefighters complete their firefighting operations.
We were encouraged this year by the NFPA to speak in the Expo Theater where we gave a 30-minute presentation on the unprecedented collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 which was the most highly attended presentation on the Expo Floor during the 3-day convention.
We presented the startling results of the independent study from UAF-Fairbanks, A Structural Re-evaluation of the Collapse of World Trade Center 7 by the University of Alaska’s former Chair of the Structural Engineering Department, Prof. Leroy Hulsey – one of the top forensic structural engineers in the country. The study concludes that the evidence clearly indicates that WTC 7 was not brought down by fire, as NIST claims – but by “the near-simultaneious failure of all of the columns in the building.”
We have now been invited to submit articles in the two top fire protection journals in the country. And we are currently in conversation with VIP’s affiliated with the NFPA who have demonstrated that they do care about Building 7 and the future of fire investigations.
We need your support with our non for profit mission. Please donate today to ensure that we can secure a booth for the 2025 NFPA convention (back to Las Vegas!) If we all chip in $20 or $100 then we can secure the booth and fly in our esteemed PAPA Team the experts next year!
