Aaaargh! We get to see this... and then when we hear about BP 
outsourcing claims handling because that sort of thing is not their core 
business. True, they are in deep water.
Right after 9/11 I was asked to look at a building in Treibeca that the 
owner claimed the cracks in their facade were caused by yadda yadda... 
my gut feeling was that I wanted to punch them out.
I did not. Relegated as quick as possible to mis-remembery. Moved on.

  I still say, call NYC fire department forensics and see what their 
in-house lab says where to go. Won't hurt to have the connection. I 
feel, frm what you share here, that you have a bs perception problem to 
fight more than a material science quest.
