Word From the World Trade Centre??
As conspiracy theories go this wasn’t bad. Bill Troedal having promoted a speaker who was the builder of the World Trade Centre Twin Towers in New York introduced an imposter in the guise of Lawrence Reddaway. He impersonated one Eugene Fasullo who was present when a massive truck bomb was exploded by terrorists under the World Trade Centre on 26th February 1993 eight years before the 9/11 attack.
Lawrence’s performance was impressive (slight lapses in the North American accent aside) with detail of the day including being trapped in the lift with 6 engineers and 2 lawyers. Forcing the door, cutting through a plasterboard wall for ventilation, the lift dwellers found nothing worth having but pushed everyone through the hole including the fat man who is still threatening to sue, not for defamation but for considering leaving him in the lift. They walked down about 50 floors which took 4 hours in the smoky darkness.
Lawrence/Eugene received a call from President George Bush who congratulated him for taking control and promised all sorts of assistance to make the Centre and the Hotel Vista safe. Apparently Air Conditioning equipment from California was held up in Oklahoma on a Sunday so our Engineer invoked the promise from George Senior to fast- track the transit of the extensive machinery even though it was the Sabbath. Stabilising columns were continuing to be a problem and when the safety inspector inquired whether the works were safe or whether the plans to make the works safe were safe our imposter Lawrence/Eugene told him to F... Off. Not once but twice. Eventually though the water was pumped out of the basements of the Hotel and the works proceeded to reinstate the building. This all occurred 8 years before the 9/11 disaster and the point was made that stairway lighting was upgraded following that bomb which subsequently saved a number of lives in 2001.
Apparently this is taken from Lawrence’s experience of hearing an address by Eugene in 1994. Whether the details are correct is still up in the air!!
