Members of the New York City Fire Department indicated that World Trade Center Building 7 was going to be brought down with explosives several hours before it collapsed on the afternoon of September 11, 2001. This is according to Indira Singh. Singh was a senior consultant working on risk management for Wall Street bank J.P. Morgan in 2001, but who worked as a volunteer emergency medical technician at the World Trade Center site following the attacks there on September 11. Singh had set up a triage site that day to the east of World Trade Center Building 7--a 47-story office building located about 350 feet north of the Twin Towers. She recalls, however, that "soon after noon," she and others had to evacuate because they were told that "Building 7 was coming down." It was indicated that the building was going to be brought down in a controlled demolition, with explosives. "I heard that they were going to bring it down because it was unstable," she says. When she is asked who gave them this information, she replies, "The fire department" and explains that the people who issued the warning specifically stated, "We're gonna have to bring it down." Building 7 collapsed at 5:21 p.m. that day, even though no plane crashed into it. Official investigations have claimed the collapse was the result of fires that began when the North Tower came down.
