Yes - agreed - dollar says some important Benghazi documents will be on the list of things missing as a result of the fire.

Initially, a fire official on the scene told News4 that the workers had only suffered superficial burns. However, later Saturday afternoon, Lon Walls, a spokesman for D.C. Fire and EMS confirmed that one of the workers had suffered life-threatening injuries, while two other hospitalized workers had suffered serious, but not life-threatening injuries.

Officials say that the crews were performing maintenance on a duct on the 8th floor of the building when the flash fire broke out. The exact cause is under investigation, though officials say it does not appear to be suspicious in nature.

This smells really fishy!!!! Didn't they report similar stories in Benghazi? Initially.....However....Life-threatening???

Wonder what Benghazi reports were mysteriously destroyed in the fire?

Wonder if they showed up in the confetti at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!!

Did some classified things while I was in the Army a thousand years ago. Needed my records for something and was told for years all my records were burned up in a fire. Then I finally met someone who laughed when he heard that and two senators finally got my records for me. What was really funny was that nothing I did really mattered as a secret any longer. Who knows, maybe their was a fire somewhere and the clerks were just too lazy to go get them. :-)

Wow you on to something its a conspiracy. Quick go to the glen beck web site to get all the information.

You people... Rush, Fox, Beck, Hannity.... what is up with you? Is that all your mind can pull out?

Mathews, Madcow, Cooper, Blitzer, blah blah blah.

Its as old as blaming Bush. Get some new material.

henry I believe i smell something here and it aint smoke

its time to change bong water than.

Mary Lou, perhaps some of us are older and have been around the block a few times. Not every one is naive you know. At this rate Benghazi Barry's death list count will be even higher that the Clinton administrations.

The right is despicable, using first the deaths in Benghazi and then the injuries to this worker to make political points.

Wants to know. The Right is always WRONG, dont sweat it. The so called Right is just still Bitter that they are so ignorant and cant find a decent person to run for President, and other positions. They run People like Robme, Palin. Bachman, the Old fart from Arizona, West, Aiken, Mourdock, Lyin Ryan. ALL Losers. How stupid can they be?

What is despicable is the cover up of the Benghazi murders!

No $hit for brains, some maintenance jobs are scheduled out for long weekends because they are intensive.

Now, go to Lowes and buy your Chinese made nuts and bolts for your "Home Improvement"!

I work at a military base and some building maintenance will be scheduled for weekends. The labor costs are higher, but we do not shut down hundreds of workers, which would be more costly. Also, even though it is a holiday weekend, certain critical operations are 24/7/365. They never shut down. Fire Department, facility security, communications, and the command post never shut down. The State Department has certain functions that are in that category.

You had me with your first sentence, but then you had to go type that second one. <sigh>

What sad excuse of a christian has to continually play the race card when others don't agree with them?

He doesn't get under our skin because he is black. Never has, never will. He is not liked, wanted or respected because he is at best a Socialist bent on the destruction of this country as we know it, and at worst a terrorist sympathizer who turns his cheek to our true allies and aligns the US with countries hell bent on our destruction.

If you can't understand those implications you have no business voting in your popularity contest. You can't reasonably defend any of Obama's ideology so you, like all liberals divert all attention of the issue at hand away by stooping to ever growing new lows such as the race card. Nothing new...just the same old tired tactic that everyone except you and your minions are aware of.

Jon the Methodist You can say that in spades Jon

The District of Columbia or DC as you refer to it has nothing to do with this accident. That is the "city" infrastructure and politics. They do not govern for Federal buildings. Federal buildings are mostly overseen by the OSHA, except for DoD facilities. The DoD uses military versions of OSHA. No facility or building custodian wants the facility damaged by fire. And they certainly do not want injured or dead people due to a fire. The State Department's Harry S Truman Building has been in use since 1942. I do not remember any similar such burn incidents. The nature of the fire is unclear at this time. Apparently handheld fire extinguishers could put out the fire, yet three people are seriously injured. If I had to guess, I would suspect electrical work, with a big arc flash that injured people and set several small fires going in the immediate vicinity. But this is just a guess. I hope we do not have contractors using candles to check for air leaks. We almost lost the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant due to that kind of incompetence. Lit candles + foam = raging fire burning control cables.

It's not Planet X that will get us, it's actually a white dwarf that failed as a type 1a supernovae and got ejected from a binary system into intergalactic space.

You two need to put down the glass pipe!

Why waste the money for after-hours maintenance though? It's the government, it's not like anything more gets done during the week than during the weekend while the workers are away.

Ya they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy, four Americans die on 9/11. But it's funny NBC writes an article on this useless crap and they still to this day got nothing to say about the state dept. handling of those four Americans, funny how life is in this country, I guess they're waiting until Obama has time to approve the story.

allenjames

4 Americans died on 9/11? What are you, blind, stupid, or just IGNORANT!

STFU!

JWLTude Just INGORANT.

Lol, interesting that you felt the need to add that PS there Rerere! Understandable too, most of the rightwing nutjobs are just bringing up the possibiity of a Benghazi coverup, it takes a completely loony reich-winger to state it as fact like you just did. You Obama-hating zombies are so flippin' stupid it's impossible to put into words. You attack Obama for every single thing he ever says or does and if he had done the opposite you would have attacked him for that too.

Heck Leroy, they attack him for things that have nothing to do with him. They refer to him as the Messiah, while we know he is just a man. Just 1 man. They would never hold a person they voted for to the same standards because they are humanly impossible.

How many died not 9/11/01?, or in the Marine Barracks bombing in 1983? Funny how GWB and RR got a pass from this bunch isn't it? I wonder how many died in Afghanistan and Iraq? There were no WMD's in Iraq, but they will make excuses for GWB.

Funny thing is, they are afraid of everything.

Construction and renovation incidents that lead to injury and death occur in many areas of the country. We have had them where I work, a military base. Contractors, government civilians, and military people have all died or been severely injured at the military base I work at. The base has been in use for 70 years. Hazardous working conditions that were accepted, and led to death, 70 years ago, are not tolerated today. We have new challenges with new missions. The changing environment leads to new situations that sometimes result in death or serious injury. We strive to mitigate hazardous processes and conditions by engineering out the hazards in the processes. We still get death and injury occasionally.

Now, that's a good one!

Shredders have automatic thermal overload protection built in. You would have to be somehow bypassing the protection and safety interlocks to get one to catch fire.

Take that back about Hillary! She's still a fine looking woman.

My day is complete. Hillary is a fine looking woman.

Are glasses part of Obamacare? :-)
