The following is a cut and paste from a thread Steve Martin posted on GLP.

Expect UL to be in full spin mode.

"I just got off the phone with Paul Baker in Media Relations at UL in Northbrook, IL. (847-664-1001) Paul confirmed that Kevin R. Ryan, the head of the Environmental Health Laboratory Div. of Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) was fired today.

He promised to give me a copy of UL's statement on the termination by e-mail as soon as it is available. He said the memo thing "needs to be cleared up."

For those of you who are not up to speed, Kevin had written a curt e-mail to Frank Gayle of the National Institute of Standards and Technology questioning that the steel (which his lab had certified) had failed in the WTC 1 and WTC 2 collapses due to the buring jet fuel. Kevin's memo is available elsewhere here on GLP.

THIS IS THOROUGHLY UNCONSCIONABLE. I will post a copy of the e-mail as soon as it is received."
