contains the final transmissions made by firefighters located in the aircraft impact area of WTC 2 (floors 77 and 78). Floor 78 was officially being ravaged by an 800ºC inferno at this time.
The transmissions document that only isolated pockets of fire were reported by the firefighters, so where was the all-consuming inferno?
Also of note is the fact that these transmissions were made seconds before WTC 2's collapse.
