shows a retired firefighter, apparently, who checked on each floor looking for people still in the building and got out just before it collapses. What a brave thing to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoy3pIiTQlM - ( New Window )
that is an amazing job (luck?) by the retired fire fighter. Balls of steel to go up each floor, and then apparently gave recon info to the first active firefighters to arrive on scene. Before all that, instructing the very frightened woman how to release and lower the ladder at the bottom of the fire escape.
One thing you can always rely on is CNN not having a clue what actually happened
Was Don Lemon speculating that the building was sucked into a black hole or that the explosion was caused by someone with Old Timer's Disease?
Yeah, technically, but my dorm was on 9th and 3rd
Thank you. That statement by CNN is borderline slanderous. I'd have my attorney look into that if I owned Pommes Frites.
Fucking media is an abject embarrassment. I hate mentioning that I'm a part of it, but we, at least, research what we say before we go on air with it.
