« Let's "sideline" them for violating an FDNY protocol that did not exist before the August 18, 2007 fire: Introduction | Main | Who was responsible for the standpipe? FDNY or Galt ? OSHA says Galt. »

It's unconscionable!

It's unconscionable!

Captain Peter Bosco, his battalion chief and his division chief are still on the "sidelines" --  8 months and counting even though

1) FDNY was not invited by LMDC to participate in the deconstruction - decontamination of 130 Liberty Street in any role other than as an emergency responder 

2) According to LMDC's plan, Bovis and Galt were assigned to perform the functions that the three fire officers are wrongly accused of not performing and LMDC had the complete, utter and unfettered discretion under State law to assign these functions to Bovis and Galt and to exclude FDNY.

3) OSHA who has involved in the project as a regulator from the get-go - who understands this project as no-one else understands this project because of their intimate involvement with it - has accused Bovis and Galt of not performing the functions that the three fire officers are wrongly accused of not performing,

4) If anyone would ask OSHA, OSHA would tell them without hesitation, that FDNY had nothing to do with any of the failures on this project and would explain to them why this is so,

5) FDNY failed to equip Captain Peter Bosco and his Ten House with the means to inspect the toxic 130 Liberty Street 

6) etc. etc. 

 It's unconscionable that the FDNY Commissioner has so far failed to give the speech.  FDNY had nothing to do with this project. Why won't the FDNY Commissioner speak up and defend his FDNY? 


Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them?

 

That is the question?

 

However, as Lloyd Bentsen would say to the FDNY Commissioner, "Commissioner, ... I knew Hamlet; Hamlet was a friend of mine. Commissioner, you're no Hamlet..."  There are, however, a number of other Shakespearean characters to whom perfidious Nick bears a striking resemblance. Can you guess who they are?
