9-11 Demolition of the World Trade Center

It has been claimed that the explosions of dust that span the east face of the tower, were caused by air being forced from the windows as each of the floors above collapsed. This explanation is obviously incorrect. If it was correct, such lines of dust would have been expelled from the windows of each floor in succession. That is, we would have seen such lines of dust expelled from floors 79, 78, 77, 76 and 75 in succession, but what we observe is an explosion of dust at floor 79, no new clouds of dust for a few floors, then another explosion of dust at floor 75. On the left is a photo of a 1975 Controlled Demolition of 361 foot Mendes Caldeira Building in São Paulo, Brazil Note the demolition squibs at intervals along the face of the building. These were simultaneous explosions. Possibly sequential explosions were necessary at the WTC to simulate a collapse.

It is worth noting that the second line of (much larger) explosions occur at the center of a section of mechanical floors (the three mechanical floors appear as a slightly darker gray band across the building and are important for the strength they impart to the building). It is possible that the mechanical floors 76 and 75 (and also 74) have no windows, but of course, if this is so, it raises many more questions than it answers. In particular, if the mechanical floors have no windows, then the explosions of dust from floor 75 cannot be caused by air being forced from them as the floors above collapsed. There should have been dust from the windows on floors 78, 77, 76, 74, 73 etc.

Since Martin Bush, brother of "President" George W. Bush, sat on the board of directors of the company that has the security contract for the World Trade Center, it would be feasible to gain covert access to the mechanical floors of the WTC to plant demolition charges. Even the 79th floor could be reached via the elevator shafts at the core of the building. Since the World Trade Center is a series of floors suspended from the core and stabilized by the external columns, it should only be necessary to rig the demolition charges where the floor supports connect to the core columns.

The dust due to the visible explosions is a whitish grey. The dust from the demolition of the upper section (which is disintegrating as it falls) is dark grey. One wonders what caused this difference."

[Testifying before a congressional inquiry] Gene Corley of the American Society of Civil Engineers, said the Port Authority [of New York and New Jersey] refused to hand over blueprints for the twin towers - crucial for evaluating the wreckage - until he signed a waiver saying his team would not use the plans in a lawsuit against the agency [that is, against FEMA]. - New York Daily News, 2002-03-07

Danish author, investigator, and scientist, Henrik Melvang has studied many video clips of the World Trade Center demolition, putting over 1,000 hours into his investigation. His video investigation can be obtained from http://www.bombsinsidewtc.dk/ He reports:

You may say that you have seen some TV Transmissions, which did not edit the "Tower Scene" in this manner. This is true, and in my video I will show some of these few TV Transmissions, which actually did give us a chance to follow the entire WTC facade, as it collapsed from the TOP to the Bottom. But in general most TV stations did not show the ENTIRE WTC Tower facade during the ENTIRE duration of the Tower Collapse. As I said before I have seen many different TV stations video versions of the "Tower collapse," but in general 99% of the TOTAL AIRING of the Tower scenes did not give any evidence of the numerous of "clouds" from EXPLODING Bombs "popping out of the windows" of the WTC facade far below the crash level of the collapsing tower.

This high number of 99% of the total airplay does make an important difference for the average viewer who had no knowledge of a conspiracy. The effect of TV is basically "exposure". But in reality the Tower Scene should have been edited in a much different manner - if we look at the "Photographic nature of the Tower scene".

Usually when the TV News media shows a controlled demolition of a building anywhere in the world, they NEVER forget to give the TV audience the "Full Picture" of the scene. They always give us a "Long Distance shot of the entire Tower scene". They may show us some "Zoomed in details" also , but they will never miss the opportunity to show you the "full picture" of the entire fall of the tower (or building). Every year the TV News media show us such demolition scenes of various buildings. I have never seen a TV Transmission which did not give the "Full Picture" - have you ?.

The "Photographic Nature of the Scene" would call for a "wide angle view" - so that the TV audience can see the tower falling in it's full length. But the Tower event of "September 11" turned out to be different !
And this was not because the long distance cameras were not in place to shoot the "Horizontal Long Distance Tower Scenes." Never in recorded world history had so many long distance cameras focused on the very same subject as between 9:00 AM and 10:30(?) on Sept. 11, 2001. Why then is the obvious long distance shoot of the WTC collapse so badly represented in the TV Transmissions ?

It totally contradicts the nature of the Tower Scene - does it not?!

The answer to this question is obvious: Someone in the "editing rooms" did not want to give us the "Full Picture"!

He has also found that the video soundtracks had been similarly manipulated to cover the sounds of the World Trade Center being demolished by explosives:

a) In my video I will give evidence that the ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK had been changed and that which was shown on TV had been manipulated in many critical scenes related to the WTC Towers Collapse. I´m convinced that this SOUND TRACK manipulation was made in order to cover up the TRUE SOUND of the "EXPLODING BOMBS" inside WTC. a) The Video clips were often edited in a manner which did not include the SECONDS PRIOR to the Tower Collapse. Sound travels at a speed of circa 300 meters in a second. Had the original sound been played and shown on TV , then the TV viewers would have been able to calculate the distance and speed, and then afterwards concluded that it must have been EXPLODING BOMBS that were giving the loud noise, because the BOMB SOUND could be heard BEFORE the Tower collapse had visually begun.

b) Also I will show evidence that "Distorted Noise" from the "street" and loud noises from "Car Horns and Police Sirens" were later ADDED to the sound track of the "Tower Scenes" - so that no TV viewer could hear the loud noise from the bombs exploding inside the Buildings.

c)I will present several perfect videoclips from both "American TV", "Danish TV" and the "German TV" - which gives evidence that "distorted Sound PARTS," that did NOT belong to the "Tower Collapse-scenes," were in fact PLAYED along with these videoclips in order to CORRUPT the original sound of the factual "Tower event". I can be totally sure of all this since I have detected very specific "Horn and Siren" Police car SOUND - and discovered that this particular "SOUND Bite" was PLAYED along with BOTH the Collapse of the "North Tower" but also several hours later when the "7 WTC Building" fell down (later on the afternoon). In reality such a "repetition" of one particular sound bite - several hours later - would be statistical impossible!

German engineers help the USA - what your government is not telling you - interesting WTC analysis. Here are some of the anomalies and facts that Karl Moor has gathered:

A New Video Discovery from "ABC?" - shows that a journalist man (and a female ABC-journalist!?) are running up the street - away from the WTC, and finally ends up hiding behind a car .

QUESTION: Why did they run away from the WTC ?

The Media showed this video on Sept.11 and told us all , that these persons on the video ran away from WTC because the Tower had just begun collapsing. That is a Lie !

FACT: They ran away because they heard an explosion and saw the dust cloud from this detonation taking place at STREET LEVEL.The dust cloud came from a bomb detonated at the Street Level (or below) - and certainly not from the falling Tower debris ! (Because at this point both towers were still standing)

MEDIA COVER UP: The media did not play the original soundtrack of these BOMBS being detonated. The Medias CENSORED both the PICTURES and the SOUND of this particular clip.

EVIDENCE: I have seen this "run away journalist clip" mixed into other WTC collapse sequences. Both ABC/CNN and many other TV stations made this fake-mix. That is EVIDENCE of FRAUD !
They are deliberately FAKING the video record and the TIMELINE of the WTC events !

PROOF: I found a special version of the Clip were the "editors" forgot to "cut away" in their "video mix" ,...... which mean that in a second or two at the end of the Clip,.....the camera is "panning from behind a Car," and in the direction from North towards South,..............and there you go: BOTH TOWERS are STILL Standing TALL !!

CONCLUSION:
They were NOT running away from falling Tower debris No, they ran away from,........ a Huge BOMB detonated at STREET LEVEL !

TIMELINE EVIDENCE # 2:
Another Clip with huge dust clouds from the PRIOR EXPLOSIONS at the WTC STREET LEVEL - also shows People running away from the WTC

MEDIA-MANIPULATION of videoclip #2 :Also this clip was FAKED by the MEDIA. They did not want the TV viewers to understand that this was an additional Street-Explosion.

This clip #2 showed a Dust cloud from a BOMB detonated at Street Level. But the medias mixed this clip ALONG with OTHER collapse Sequences - so that they FIRST showed the Tower collapsing with debris falling , and then they MIXED IN and "put in" the said "other Clip#2" along with their COLLAPSE sequences. (That is deliberately faking the evidence)

Consequence of this Manipulation: All the TV viewers were manipulated to believe that the people they saw running on the street were running away from the falling TOWER debris. But they were not. They were running away from a BOMB just being detonated at street level.

PROOF: I have measured the DURATION of the clip (in seconds) and the EVIDENCE is indisputable. If we compare with other video clips from the Real collapse of 2WTC then we can prove that the "real debris-cloud" generated from the Tower collapse filled the "NAMED Street",.... totally with smoke from debris in less than 5 seconds. ( I can tell this for sure because I followed an AMBULANCE moving in the Streets,.......the ambulance arrived just as the 2WTC collapsed
and the driver managed to back away,............before the debris cloud hit it. My calculation is indisputable and correct) WATCH the video !

On the OTHER clip (That with the Explosion) the firefighters and other spectators had more than 25 seconds - before the CLOUD reached them. And you can even see a man with a camera ,....WALKING BACK TOWARDS the DUST CLOUD ! He walked back because this Dust cloud was not in rapid motion. Around him were numerous of other persons who did not run away. Had this been falling debris - then the cloud would have hit them in less than 5 seconds. Eyewitness have explained that the dust clouds from falling Tower debris created a rapid "dust speed" of up to 50 mph close to WTC. But the clip#2 dust cloud moved very slow because it was not caused by falling debris.

FACT: The real "Tower collapse DEBRIS Cloud" was in rapid motion when it hit the street. Some say that it went as fast as 80km/hour (No man can run that fast) But the "dust cloud from the EXPLOSION" (clip#2) in contrast was VERY slow and not dangerous at all, because nothing had collapsed yet.

CONCLUSION: This clearly shows that the FBI/MEDIAS covered up that BOMBS were detonated at street level, several seconds (or minutes?) BEFORE the collapse !

The government/media approved version of events insists that the fires in the World Trade Center burned so hot that they caused steel supports to melt or at least buckle, thus triggering a total collapse of the towers. This is a strange theory for a number of reasons:

1. The architects who designed the World Trade Center designed it to withstand the direct impact and fuel fire of a commercial airline crash. Aaron Swirsky, one of the architects of the WTC described the collapse as "incredible" and "unbelievable." Jerusalem Post. WTC Architect: Collapse "Unbelievable". By Michael Meyer and Stuart Winer. September 12, 2001. Google users enter: swirsky collapse unbelievable. Lee Robertson, the project's structural engineer said: "I designed it for a 707 to hit it. The Boeing 707 has a fuel capacity comparable to the 767." American Free Press. Eyewitness Reports Persis of Bombs At WTC Collapse. By Christopher Bollyn. December 12, 2001. Google users enter: bollyn bombs lee robertson

2. The history of high-rise building fires provides no case histories of buildings collapsing due to steel beams melting from a fire.

3. The collapse of both towers were both perfectly symmetrical and methodical. The straight down collapse was identical in appearance to a well engineered, controlled implosion. A demolition company could not have done it better. Now that we know that all one has to do to bring a tall building straight down is set a fuel fire in it, the well trained experts who work for demolition companies should all be out of a job by now!

Even a layman with no explosives background should be able to see this. But many specialists in the explosives and structural engineering have also made this observation and commented on these inconsistencies. After the WTC collapse, the Vice President of New Mexico Tech, Van Romero, gave an interview to the Albuquerque Journal. He stated plainly that he believed that the WTC collapse was too methodical and that explosive devices must have been placed in key points of both buildings. Romero said:

"It would be difficult for something from the plane to trigger an event like that. It could have been a relatively small amount of explosives placed in strategic points. One of the things that terrorists are noted for is a diversionary attack and a secondary device." Albuquerque Journal. ABQjournal.com. Explosives planted in towers,N.M. Tech Expert Says. By Oliver Uyttebrouck. September 11, 2001. Google users enter: romero explosives planted tower

In that same interview, Romero revealed that he was in Washington DC when the attacks took place. He and a colleague were there to discuss defense research programs for New Mexico Tech. A few days after his interview, Romero abruptly changed his opinion and told the Albuquerque Journal that he no longer believed that bombs brought down the towers. Albuquerque Journal. ABQjournal.com. Fire, Not Extra Explosives, Doomed Buildings, Expert Says. By John Fleck. September 21, 2001. Romero, who relies upon the Pentagon for funding, had suddenly flip-flopped and joined the "melted steel" theorists.

There is more than just my own common sense and Romero's expert opinion to support the belief that the towers were imploded from within. Several witnesses and survivors reported hearing bombs going off inside the World Trade Center. Louie Cacchioli is a firefighter with Engine 47 in Harlem, New York. Cacchioli told People Magazine the following:

"I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in the building." People Magazine. People.com United in Courage. September 12, 2001.

Now this whole controversy between the "melted steel" scenario and the detonation scenario is one that could be very easily resolved. All we have to do is dig up the steel beams and examine each and everyone of them. If an explosive device caused the steel to fail, there will be tell-tale indications for the engineers to see. But if it was intense heat that caused the steel to "melt" or "buckle", there will be tell-tale signs of that as well. All we have to do to put an end to this controversy is to closely examine the steel. Right?

Well, don't hold your breath. That's never going to happen. Thanks in large part to Time Magazine's "Man of the Year 2001", New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the steel beams were quickly recycled before investigators even had the chance to look at them! A media darling and lifelong supporter of Israel, Rudy Giuliani made sure that the "smoking gun" evidence was destroyed and right quick too. Much of the steel was recycled in America, but an additional seventy thousand tons of WTC steel was sold to Metals Management - a New York company with a Jewish president named Alan Ratner. Ratner then turned around and shipped the WTC's steel to China and India for recycling! Reuters News Service. World Trade Center Scrap Sails for India, China. By Pete Harrison and Manuela Badawy .January 21, 2002.

China Radio International's English Edition also reported:

"New York's Metals Management is among the firms taking steel from the huge project to clear Ground Zero. The company says it has bought 70,000 tons of scrap from the ruined twin towers. Some of the scrap has been shipped across the Pacific to Asian, including China and India. Among the consignments of scrap are the "very dense" steel girders from Ground Zero, which could finally yield 250,000 to 400,000 tons of scrap for recycling." Chinese Radio International. January 2002. Google users enter: cri online world centre trade scrap

Imagine that! The largest criminal investigation in history and the investigators weren't even permitted to see the most important evidence of all - the steel! During the time that Rudy and Ratner the Recycler were destroying evidence, many of the most respected engineers in the country complained not only about the recycling, but also about the Federal government's suffocating control of their investigation. On December 25, 2001, the New York Times ran a story about the frustrations of some of the engineers who were called in to study the cause of the collapse:

"Interviews with a handful of members of the team, which includes some of the nation's most respected engineers, also uncovered complaints that they had at various times been shackled with bureaucratic restrictions that prevented them from interviewing witnesses, examining the disaster site and requesting crucial information like recorded distress calls to the police and fire departments..."

They made their concerns known publicly. Bill Manning, editor of the 125 year old Fire Engineering magazine, noticed a strange difference between the WTC investigation and other major fire investigations in New York City's history. Manning wrote:

"Did they throw away the locked doors from the Triangle Shirtwaist fire? Did they throw away the gas can used at the happy land social club fire?...That's what they're doing at the World Trade Center. The destruction and removal of evidence must stop immediately." Ibid

Bill Manning continued:

"Fire Engineering has good reason to believe that the "official investigation" blessed by FEMA and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is a half-baked farce that may already have been commandeered by political forces whose primary interests, to put it mildly, lie far afield of full disclosure. Except for the marginal benefit obtained from a three-day, visual walk-through of evidence sites conducted by ASCE investigation committee members- described by one close source as a "tourist trip"-no one's checking the evidence for anything."

One investigator told the New York Times:

"This is almost the dream team of engineers in the country working on this, and our hands are tied," said one team member who asked not to be identified. Members have been threatened with dismissal for speaking to the press. "FEMA is controlling everything," the team member said. New York Times. Experts Urging Broader Inquiry In Towers' Fall. December 25, 2001. Google users enter: times experts urging broader inquiry into towers

Dr. Frederick W. Mowrer from the Fire Engineering department at the University of Maryland told the New York Times:

"I find the speed with which important evidence has been removed and recycled to be appalling." Ibid

Finally, the Times story made this interesting little revelation about Rudy Giuliani:

"Officials in the mayor's office declined to reply to written and oral requests for comment over a three- day period about who decided to recycle the steel and the concern that the decision might be handicapping the investigation.." Ibid

It is a very odd form of science that the government and some of its house scientists practice these days. Without a shred of physical evidence, these modern-day alchemists have been able to "prove" their theory fire caused the towers to collapse. This appears to be yet another monstrous lie. Why else would you destroy the "melted steel"? Ask Rudy.
