AMI, I'm detecting some serious fact-searching on your part, so let me
clue you in (and I appreciate the seriousness of your posts; Thank
you.) What you may not realize, although I posted it once but it
undoubtedly got lost in Hedrick and Mosley's nonsense, is this: The
doctors were ordered NOT to go up to the Command Module. That was BY
FAR the single most painful night of my life in the 19 months I've
been investigating this fire. The doctors arrived within minutes at
the base of the tower, where some FOOL decided doctors were not
"essential personnel." The doctors, contrary to testimony in the
Congressional Record, were held by security and not allowed to proceed
to Level 8 until 30 MINUTES AFTER the fire. THAT is what Bob is
talking about, and he is right. So is Scott; unfortunately, Scott
does not have the patience to explain things. I was the one who TOLD
Scott about what happened with the doctors; until then, he did not
know, he only suspected. They were ORDERED NOT to go up the tower.
I love your posts; they are few, but always substantive. You have my
email address; PLEASE email me if you would like to carry this
conversation further in a serious manner.
LaDonna
