Testimony given on September 08, 2004 - "Untrained", "Ill-equipped" and ""without logistical support". The testimony speaks for itself

Does anyone seriously doubt that Scoppetta had actual knowledge of toxicity of 130 Liberty Street [See, additional evidence of his knowledge of the toxicity by clicking here]. Can he claim ignorance that 9/11/2001 toxins were killing firefighters (Click Here) and that the deadly toxins still lurked within 130 Liberty Street? If he knew, what did he do to prevent FDNY members from becoming belated casualties to the 9/11/01 toxins? The answer is he did nothing. Why did he do nothing? He did nothing because he did not expect FDNY to be routinely inspecting the toxic building! Obviously, if he did, he would have properly trained, equipped, drilled, decontaminated, etc. them. Right?
You're between a rock and a hard place, Mr. Commissioner.
1) The Rock: You knew about the toxins, wanted your beloved firefighters to inspect but failed to give them the means to do so - you are incompetent
2) The Hard Place: You did not know about the toxins and hence did not take steps to protect your firefighters - you are incompetent
However, there is a place of safe refuge. If you knew about the toxins and intentionally did not want your beloved firefighters to go in and expose themselves to their deathly embrace, then you have found the place of safe refuge.
Somebody did not want their beloved firefighters to go in and expose themselves to the deadly toxins. It might as well be you? No? Or did you just not know what was going on in your department? Remember under our Labor Laws, the Employer is responsible for protecting the employee - not the other way around. You are the employer, Nick.
It's time to give the speech, Nick (Click Here). Otherwise, the following is true:
Bloomberg and Scoppetta scoff:
"Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to inspect and die."
Into the skyscraper of Death
Inspect while we blunder.
