As Brother Spicci (FEMA?) reported on the independent website http://www.lambdazeta.com/spiccistory.html , he was in charge at the MO-TF1 on September 12th and confirmed the "powdered concrete of the Twin Towers", without having any explanation for it. Here is what he had to say: "....I was in St. Louis at a professional meeting the morning of September 11, 2001. While I was helping to set up for a session, I learned that two planes had hit the Twin Towers via my USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) pager. ...When the first tower collapsed, I knew that an activation of Missouri Task Force 1 (MO-TF1) was likely. This is what our task force had trained for; this is what I had been prepared for. For over five years, I had been volunteering for MO-TF1 (since the inception of the team) and I knew it was my duty to go. ...I arrived for check-in at the USAR team headquarters. Within a few hours we were en-route to New York City. Our team and equipment were in three C-130 military transport planes. We were `escorted' by pairs of fighter planes the entire route. Most of our team was excited that we garnered that much respect; I kept silent and did not tell them that they were there to shoot us down if we deviated from our course. We arrived at McGuire AFB in New Jersey along with three other USAR teams from California in the early hours of September 12. ...On the morning of September 12 we began the trip to NYC. It took 8 busses and 8 tractor-trailer units loaded with equipment to move the four USAR teams. About 40 New Jersey Troopers ran escort for us, shutting down the New Jersey Turnpike to get us there quickly. ...Soon, we arrived in the area of the World Trade Center. As we came around the block on Church Street, the scene was bathed in light. A light snow was falling. Well, it was not really snow. It was powdered concrete. It was not all that noticeable against the night sky, but when you looked at the tower lights, you could see if falling down. ...The `snow' made everything very surreal. I quickly noticed why. There were no visible signs of solid concrete. It was all gone. There was a significant amount of powdered concrete, none of which was bigger that a grape and most of which was in the air. ..Instead, there were piles of lain out steel, some twisted, some looking brand new with construction makings. Sheet metal was also present. But there wasn't any furniture or nick-knacks from offices. .... We entered at WTC Building 6. This was the U.S. Customs House. We worked our way through to the levels of underground garages where fire had destroyed some cars, but had left others alone. It was strange to see some perfectly fine cars in between those that had melted from a fire. http://www.lambdazeta.com/spiccistory.html http://www.bcfdmo.com/BCFPD/MO-TF1/mo-tf1.html More on MO-TF1: August 15th, 2001 Missouri Task Force One A Federal Emergency Management Agency Urban Search and Rescue Task Force http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.bcfdmo.com/BCFPD/MO-TF1/mo-tf1.html Operation CARE 1998, Camp Gruber, Oklahoma http://web.archive.org/web/20010303231204/http://www.bcfdmo.com/BCFPD/MO-TF1/Exercises/CARE98/operation_care_98_1.htm Operation CARE 1999, St. Louis, Missouri (->Exercises)
