and he not only had access to the people who would know most about those steel assemblies; he also asked them about it and got atleast one quite remarkable response, as Kevin Ryan writes in his article
Three Years Later: Another Look At Three Claims from UL:
*******************
UL’s CEO, Loring Knoblauch, made verbal statements to all staff at UL in South Bend on or about September 27, 2001. These statements included reference to UL having “certified the steel used in the World Trade Center” and that, because of this, employees should be proud of how long the buildings stood.
After being later asked for formal confirmation of such tests, Knoblauch repeated his statements again, this time in writing.[10]
“We tested the steel
with all the required fireproofing on, and it did beautifully.”
*******************
The whole issue is a deep embarassment, to put it mildly, for Underwriter Laboratories, who has vainly tried to disassociate itself from ever having tested the WTC steel as the above article makes clear.
