VideoL Listen to the final moments of the daring rescue efforts of the New York City Fire Department operating in the South Tower of the World Trade Center moments before it suddenly exploded into oblivion. This is the biggest conflict of evidence of all: Either there were emergency teams operating in the building or there was a tremendous raging inferno. The two are mutually exclusive possibilities.
It is generally believed that the firemen were still in the stairwells, heading for the highest floors, when the building collapsed. The stairwells were smoky but apparently without flames. One of the pathetic facts is that the firemen were hampered because carrying hundreds of pounds of fire hose -- but the jolt of the planes' impact had severed the water mains (the FDNY had to arrange to have fireboats at the harbor a few blocks away) so even if the firemen had made it to their destination floors the hoses would have been useless.
There was also a serious problem with the walkie-talkies used by the FDNY - apparently in this situation there were serious communications problems. I would have expected that after the North Tower collapsed, the teams in the South Tower would have been ordered back down. It seems, however, that transmissions back and forth were seriously disrupted so that different teams could not coordinate their activities.

Listen here you lying little turd ball. No water mains were severed because of the planes impact anywhere other than maybe where they impacted. MY God, you think planes can do what more powerful Earthquakes can't? Government stooges like you I can't stand. Hell is waiting for your kind.

I thought so too at first.
However, if the water main is severed up high where the plane(s) hit, then you wouldn't get much water pressure out of the system on the floors as you got up close to the fire.
They could probably get at least a little water into the hoses but not the volume of water and with the water pressure needed to be able to fight fires with it.
If you had shutoff valves for the water mains every couple of floors, then you could still fight fires.
