  PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I am SO FED UP with hearing the site referred to as "Ground 'Zero' ". It's a STUPID and inappropriate name to attach---born of lazy, pop, news-speak.

  I suggest 'the former New York World Trade Center site'. Yes, it takes longer to say that; but, then it takes longer to THINK, too!

  Beth Fertig's interview this morning was needlessly agressive verging on hostile and antagonistic. Knowlegible people (scientists and engineers) are well aware of the risks and errors in the work of demolition. Carelessness and human error are unavoidable and just happen. Asbestos has been removed. To try and insinuate Companies like Bove and their suppliers are purposely negliant is unnessary. The question of water in the stand pipe is ligimate but lets try innocent before stiring up the bublic with accusations that may have no relavance.

  If a building is without heat, as this one probably was, water cannot be kept in pipes during the winter. In addition, if the pipe was damaged on 9/11 or as result of freezing post 9/11, it needed to be repaired before use.
