North Tower Exploding: An Introduction To 911 Truth

The South Tower stood for 56 minutes and the North Tower for 102 minutes after having been hit by individual commercial aircraft. Despite the radically different angles of the plane impacts, both towers were destroyed in precisely the same manner. There is no question these were highly explosive events, each building was pulverized, with most of the 90,000 TONS of concrete (4 inches per x110 floors of reinforced concrete with corrugated metal decking on each side) in each converted to dust. Only the most robust most metallic elements remained. The rest were turned into fragments of structural steel and fine powder . The sixty-five miles of tempered steel structural steel beams that made up the massive and elaborately cross-braced core structures were violently blasted apart, strewing them hundreds of feet in every direction, all in 12-15 seconds each.
Most of the core columns were reduced to roughly 30' sections, ready for immediate removal to overseas recycling centers. Each also produced massive pyroclastic clouds (another telltale high energy feature), that blanketed all of lower Manhattan in fine powder from 'river to river.' (Gov Pataki)

Numerous well-documented anomalies [more anomalies] were observed in lower Manhattan on 9/11 and in the months that followed. Many of these features are, ipso facto, proof of the presence of explosives. These include:

• —The explosive energy used in the destruction of the Twin Towers was so great, nearly all of the concrete (4' reinforced per floor x 110 stories, each an acre in size) was pulverized, blanketing Lower Manhattan 'from river to river', in some places 4 and 5 inches thick./
• —The complete dismemberment of the superstructures, i.e. central core structures and perimeter column assemblies.
• —That multi-ton steel perimeter column assemblies and core columns were ejected upwards and laterally for hundreds of feet in every direction with such force that some were embedded into the facades of buildings 4-500 feet away.
• —Each left a 1200' radial debris field. (FEMA 403 [May 2002] Appendix C: A Limited Metallurgical Examination)
• —Powerful ejections of concrete ["squibs"] seen shooting out of the building are a common feature in controlled demolition are visible in numerous videos, as well as the photos below.
• —That virtually no freestanding vertical columns remained.
• —Both molten steel (FEMA 403) and copious amounts of small formerly molten iron microspheres, a by-product of the thermitic reaction, were found in the dust. Documented by the USGS RJ Lee *who, as a result, labeled them a 'signature component of WTC dust'. They calculated the iron spheroids make up an astonishing 5.85% of the dust by volume] and others, including Dr Steven E Jones.
• — Pools of molten metal were found in the basements, and at the bottoms of elevator shafts of all three sites. 'Molten metal running down the walls of debris pile' — 'Molten steel running down the channel rails. Like in a foundry' are descriptions from FDNY responders, City officials and other eyewitnesses. [1]
• —Extreme temperatures were recorded by NASA and the USGS in thermal images. Bechtel was contracted, among other things, with conducting daily helicopter flights over Ground Zero for the ASSE (American Society of Safety Engineers which were in charge of safety at Ground Zero) to measure the surface temperatures of the smouldering pits that remained. Even weeks later the surface the surface temperature was as high as 2800F
• —The fires could not be extinguished for 100 days.
  
  'How can I be sure? I'm not a scientist or an architect.' The jury system is based on lay people tasked with deciding between competing experts. A thorough review of the evidence (photos, videos, first-hand accounts, The Oral Histories, etc)is all that is required to make an informed decision. A basic understanding of skyscraper design and the properties of steel is helpful. The New York Times has the accounts of first-responders, the news accounts during those first days, as well as the analyses conducted by legitimate independent scientific researchers linked to on this page. With such clear preponderance of evidence indicating the same thing, there is no ambiguity in its implications.
  
  Watching Building 7's implosion we must ask how it was possible for a skyscraper to exhibit every feature of a planned implosion yet not have been one, when the only time those features have ever been seen in the past were during controlled demolitions. The burden of proof lies with anyone claiming anything other than controlled demolition brought the building, down. WTC 7 was reduced to a neat 3-story pile of rubble in 6.5 seconds at 5:20PM on 9/11. Large sections of the perimeter wall could be seen laying on the pile.
  
  NIST, in their 'final report' on WTC7 - (after being called out on it by David Chandler state: "This free fall drop continued for approximately 8 stories or 32.0 m (105 ft).." So for the first 100' of this building's collapse (the perimeter walls) the rate of fall of the roof line was indistinguishable from acceleration of free fall. Free fall, barring demolition, is impossible in any supported structure because even a weakened one will have some resistance. More recently, citing unstated 'public safety concerns,' NIST categorically refused to release the data inputs they used to make their computer model of Building 7's collapse. Even then, their results look nothing like the actual event. This is not how science is done. It directly undermines the crucial peer-review process which is central to the scientific process.
  
  -Molten metal [1] found in small iron spherules so prevalent, (5.87% by vol) that investigators for RJ Lee labeled them a “signature component” of WTC Dust. Molten metal poured out of the southeast corner of the South Tower just below the point where moments later it came apart. Severely corroded remnants of structural steel beams documented in the BPAT Appendix C and repeatedly in witness accounts which describe, 'pools of molten metal in the basements and elevator shafts beneath all three towers.'
  
  The South Tower’s upper 30-floor block changed its angular momentum in midair. This block of 30 floors then disintegrated in midair.
  
  -100 day underground fires and extreme temperatures documented by numerous sources cannot be accounted for by any kind of uncontrolled hydrocarbon fire. Daily surface temperature readings taken by Bechtel for the ASSE [NASA and FDNY took their own readings] and nearly two weeks later recorded a surface temperature of 2800F 9 days after 09/11. This despite the millions of gallons of water and chemical fire suppressants poured on them by the FDNY, rain in the days and weeks that followed, the fires could not be put out for 100 days. It turns out that thermite burns even underwater because it provides its own oxidizer. Smoldering pits with pools of molten metal in them are what remained of all three skyscrapers.
  
  -The red/grey chips. If explosives were used, Dr Steven Jones reasoned, there should be traces of them in the copious amounts of dust the destruction of the Towers generated. Having already documented the iron micro-spheres, he was the first to document the presence of minute 'red/gray' chips in the dust. He also subsequently took part in the nearly 2 year, peer-reviewed study conducted at a number of different universities, and headed by Dr Niels Harrit, head of the Chemistry Dept. Copenhagen University, Denmark. Each of the four samples they tested, contained traces of a hi-tech (nano-engineered) thermitic material, they termed, nano-thermite.. Deniers have tried to explain these away as "paint primer chips" but those compounds are not nano-engineered materials and leave elemental iron as their by-product when ignited.
  -Carbon nanotubes have also been found in the lungs of first responders.
  
  -Media blackout. Search for Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe in the NY Times and you will not find a word about it. Despite being ignored by most academic and corporate media sources, the paper's findings remain unchallenged within the scientific peer-reviewed literature.
  
  Who attacked us? By noon on the very day Paul Bremer on NBC naming Osama Bin Ladin & Saddam Hussein as likely culprits. Within 3 days the FBI presented photos of the 19 alleged hijackers. A good number of whom turned out to be innocent people living abroad. Soon afterward the FBI conceded, ‘we may never learn the actual identity of the perpetrators.’
  
  -Cover-Up: Investigations were postponed and underfunded. Numerous examples of deceit and the ignoring of evidence in order to make the conclusions fit the preconceived narrative. Any criminal investigator will tell you the hours immediately following any crime are the most critical. Yet the first investigation into these unprecedented, world-changing attacks, consisted of12 "volunteers" who were not even allowed access to the site for 30 days, at which point they received what one described as, 'a guided tour.' The 156 samples of steel they did manage to obtain were mostly coupons cut at Freshkills Landfill where the smaller debris was taken and where, even pieces they had marked, "Save for Study" were "accidentally" discarded. See also: Non investigation.
  
  As the worst structural failures in engineering history, these events merited the most rigorous and well-funded investigations possible . What they received was the exact opposite. Delayed and underfunded, they were given what amount to investigations in name only. The first was conducted by volunteers who were not even permitted access to the site for 30 days. [3]. Later they were given what one described as "a guided tour". They were not permitted to take any steel samples from ground Zero so they had to make so with small cut outs from Freshkills Landfill. FEMA issued its report of May 2002. With regard to Building 7 they said : "Our best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation and analysis is necessary to resolve the issue." On the Twin Towers: "With the information and time available, the sequence of events leading to the collapse of the Twin Towers could not be definitively determined." [FEMA May, 2002]. The issuing of the FEMA BPAT coincided with completion of the clean-up and disposal of evidence at Ground Zero. Only one section of the FEMA BPAT that was peer-reviewed, -Appendix C A Limited Metallurgical Examination.
  
  Missing Bodies. The smaller debris from Ground Zero was trucked to Freshkills Landfill in Staten Island, where it sorted into 3 content-based piles. It was then systematically laid out onto conveyor belts, lined with gloved-attendants, whose job it was to cull out any human remains they could locate. Despite two years of intensive searching and use of advanced DNA recovery techniques, over 1100 victims still remain unaccounted for. Many victims were identified from small fragments of bone or flesh, some found blocks away. 200 DNA tests matched a single individual. No one has addressed why current DNA techniques have been unable to confirm the identity of the thousands of fragments of human remains that are 'frozen for future analysis.'
  
  The reluctance on the part of the Bush administration to investigate the attacks was shocking and revealing. It was 400 days before 9/11 Commission was formed, and then, it was only because of the outcry of victim's family members who, when it was all said and done, were left with 70% of their questions unanswered. It, like the rest of this, speaks for itself and the more one looks at the evidence, the worse it gets. To this day, no regulatory agency has investigated these attacks. There have been numerous examples of misdirection, ignoring and denying of evidence, and bad science from FEMA, the 911 Commission, and NIST, but no justice for those murdered that day.
  
  Shock & Awe Like the nanothermite documented in the Harrit 2009 paper the anthrax spores used in the attacks that closely followed 9-11, have been forensically linked to US military insiders. Bruce Ivins did not have access to silicon-coated (weaponized) anthrax, nor the equipment to manufacture it. This Wall St Journal Online Op Ed piece is surprising accurate The Anthrax Attacks Remain Unsolved by EJ Epstein, given the author's personal website has a section on 9/11 chock-full of disinformation and lacking the most damning and compelling evidence that makes the official conspiracy theory impossible. That these attacks were carried out by the same individuals is very important to see. The anthrax letters mention 9/11 and pretended to be from Muslims. They were used the same way: to scare Americans. The media was completely complicit with daily stories of fear-mongering and the terrorists could be anyone, creating the pretext and outrage to launch otherwise indefensible and patently illegal wars of aggression. Here are some recent interviews with Graeme MacQueen on Media Roots and another with James Corbett. For this reason we should refer to the 911 attacks as the 911-anthrax Attacks.
  
  Not every fact mentioned here is sourced below but all are easily verified. Do your own research. There seems to be more nonsense and disinformation online regarding 911 than just about any other subject. The purpose of disinformation is to mischaracterize and misdirect. Yet the central claims are of 911 Truth are based on a preponderance of well-documented evidence from a wide range of sources. Physics and the scientific method demand that we follow where they lead. The red/gray chips (documented in Harrit 2009) and the anthrax sent through the mail, have both been forensically linked to US military labs.

  Despite what we do not and may never know about attacks of 9/11, there is a relatively short list of well-documented facts that make the progressive collapse hypothesis untenable. There is nothing theoretical about any of the data that shows pre-planted explosives destroyed these buildings

  *Newton's 3rd Law, "If a force acts upon a body, then an equal and opposite force must act upon the body that exerts the force." The law of momentum conservation derives from this law. Based on this law, the collapse of these structures should have been slowed by these opposing forces… However, scientific papers and video analysis of a number of videos show no observable deceleration of the antenna or the roof line as the upper sections impacted the standing structures below. In fact, analysis shows that both towers actually accelerated as they came down.
  
  You can step through the footage frame-by-frame using video editing software.. There is also this 'sequence matrix' here http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/videos/index.html which although not as clear, you can still tell the top sections were destroyed first, from the point of the plane impacts, upwards, timed to begin precisely as they began to fall, (this is why they seem to disappear into ever-widening clouds of dust), in what was a likely attempt to create a curtain of debris behind which to hide the destruction of the remaining intact lower portions. I say this bc according to the findings of forensic video analyses done by David Chandler, the lower sections were destroyed at approximately 64% the acceleration of gravity.
  
  Each created a thunderous roar and volcano-like fountains of pulverized concrete, building contents, molten metal, squibs, flashes, and explosions, all documented (and then ignored in the official 'investigations) in numerous media and witness accounts.
