I work in the WTC site and i am friends witht the owner of the company which is disassembling the building floor by floor from the top down. I know from going up in the building perosnally thee are tanks of oxeygen and actelloline(spelling) everywhere. My job which i run doing the search for human remains has been shut down for the time being in the surounding area because of all the emergency traffic. more details as soon as i get them

From looking at google maps, it apears its the building right across the street from 10 house which is being demolished due to damage from 9/11...again it looks to possibly be that building, I'm not saying it is. Now they are saying avoid exposure three due to falling debris.

It is the building right accross greenwich street on the coner of liberty greenwich and albany streets. not much access from liberty street side as they have large piles of metel taken from building. an idea how close to 10 house is a few months ago a pipe fell from one of the upper floors and came through the roof of 10 house

The Fire Department says The 40-story tower, left vacant since it was badly damaged during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, had flames on multiple floors. Smoke floated above New York Harbor.

Construction crews had been in the process of taking it down floor by floor. The cause of the fire was unknown.

Eyewitness News is told one firefighter was transported to the hospital in cardiac arrest.

The NYPD called a level 2 mobilization in lower manhattan for traffic control

The building on Liberty Street has become a problem for redevelopers in the nearly six years since the attacks. The 1.4 million square foot office tower stood as a downtown Manhattan eyesore, contaminated with toxic dust and debris after the World Trade Center's south tower collapsed into it.

Efforts to dismantle the skyscraper were halted by a labor dispute last year, along with the ongoing search for the remains of 9/1 victims. The Deutsche bank building is among the sites were remains were recently recovered in the area.

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean by an OMA physician or medical officer response? And does fall-back have another meaning other then the obvious one? Also what are the different levels of NYPD mobilization and what do they mean? Thoughts and prayers to the firefighter.

OMA=Office of Medical Affairs (FDNY has 'EMS Doctors' that provide medical direction and control). There is at least one doctor on duty at all times. A response from him means that he is responding to the scene to provide direct medical control. The last two questions have already been answered.

Can you clarify the "fall back"? The posted explanation on that wasn't clear to me.
