1 00:01:59,37 --> 00:02:06,25 Nice. I don't want to be involved with conspiracy theories I 2 00:02:06,26 --> 00:02:10,62 think you know there are lots of them they can go on with you speculate on that 3 00:02:10,63 --> 00:02:15,90 forever. But we really me. No. How. 4 00:02:17,46 --> 00:02:17,72 How. 5 00:02:24,74 --> 00:02:28,85 My husband Steve was forty is old when he was killed on September eleventh two 6 00:02:28,86 --> 00:02:34,35 thousand and nine he's in the North Tower one hundred fourth floor. There are so 7 00:02:34,36 --> 00:02:40,18 many unanswered questions and that's scary to me we never had he insists nobody 8 00:02:40,19 --> 00:02:46,23 ever stopped to have a scientific investigation a scientific investigation 9 00:02:46,65 --> 00:02:53,08 a scientific. Tribute lights in the New York 10 00:02:53,09 --> 00:03:00,05 skyline an annual memorial to the lives lost on nine eleven. Yet there's 11 00:03:00,06 --> 00:03:05,67 still more light that needs to shine revealing truths that their family members 12 00:03:05,97 --> 00:03:12,79 deserve to know. September eleventh two thousand and one 13 00:03:12,95 --> 00:03:19,87 a day that changed history. For planes went silent and off course through 14 00:03:19,88 --> 00:03:26,80 those planes crashed into the World Trade Center twin towers. Several columns were 15 00:03:26,81 --> 00:03:32,89 severed and the jet fuel ignited fires that spread over several floors. About an 16 00:03:33,02 --> 00:03:38,35 hour later millions watched in shock as both towers were suddenly and rapidly 17 00:03:38,36 --> 00:03:45,23 destroyed. Killing almost three thousand people for whom truth and justice may 18 00:03:45,24 --> 00:03:52,03 have yet to be served. I am Richard 19 00:03:52,04 --> 00:03:52,42 Gage 20 00:03:53,16 --> 00:03:58,90 a licensed architect over twenty years and member of the American Institute of Architects 21 00:03:59,66 --> 00:04:02,63 and founder of Architects and Engineers for nine eleven Truth 22 00:04:03,11 --> 00:04:05,71 a nonprofit organization of well over 23 00:04:05,72 --> 00:04:11,67 a thousand technical and building professionals. According to official government 24 00:04:11,68 --> 00:04:16,90 reports. The fires weakened the structural steel framing of both twin towers 25 00:04:17,01 --> 00:04:20,65 leading to sudden progressive and total collapses. 26 00:04:23,75 --> 00:04:24,97 Unknown to most people 27 00:04:25,01 --> 00:04:30,19 a furred steel frame highrise World Trade Center seven was also destroyed. 28 00:04:32,80 --> 00:04:37,23 Critical questions have been raised by more than fifteen hundred architects and 29 00:04:37,24 --> 00:04:42,79 engineers about the official explanations for the destruction of all three of these 30 00:04:42,80 --> 00:04:48,72 buildings. Along with more than ten thousand other concerned individuals these 31 00:04:48,73 --> 00:04:53,77 professionals collectively comprising more than twenty five thousand years of 32 00:04:53,78 --> 00:04:57,67 experience have signed our petition they're calling for 33 00:04:57,68 --> 00:05:02,59 a new investigation into the destruction of these three World Trade Center high 34 00:05:02,60 --> 00:05:08,86 rises this call is based on evidence that reveals of very different destruction 35 00:05:08,87 --> 00:05:14,42 scenario than reported by government engineers This includes abundant scientific 36 00:05:14,48 --> 00:05:19,82 forensic data and eyewitness testimony that was omitted from the official reports. 37 00:05:22,06 --> 00:05:26,64 You'll be seeing this evidence and hearing from dozens of these technical experts 38 00:05:27,03 --> 00:05:32,36 including many who are among the top in their respective fields listen to the 39 00:05:32,37 --> 00:05:37,67 president provide his account of the pervasive political abuse of science and we 40 00:05:37,68 --> 00:05:43,05 have watched as scientific integrity has been undermined and scientific research 41 00:05:43,06 --> 00:05:49,61 politicized in an effort to advance pre-determined ideological agendas I claim 42 00:05:49,62 --> 00:05:54,83 they're not doing science at all they're doing propaganda or complicity in whatever 43 00:05:54,84 --> 00:05:59,58 they're doing but it's not science it's not playing by the rules of cities to 44 00:05:59,59 --> 00:06:05,40 undermine scientific integrity is to undermine our democracy. We at eighty nine 45 00:06:05,41 --> 00:06:09,94 eleven Truth take President Obama at his word in his affirmation to the American 46 00:06:09,95 --> 00:06:16,73 people during his inauguration. How do we accomplish this. We've done our best to 47 00:06:16,74 --> 00:06:21,93 fulfill the president's vision by using this scientific method examining the 48 00:06:21,94 --> 00:06:26,90 evidence from the World Trade Center and developing unbiased conclusions from 49 00:06:26,94 --> 00:06:33,64 unbiased experts in their fields as coherent sets of scientific facts are brought 50 00:06:33,65 --> 00:06:38,91 into focus by the experts the data and the witnesses in this film you will come to 51 00:06:38,92 --> 00:06:42,71 a much greater understanding of the events of nine eleven and will be in 52 00:06:42,72 --> 00:06:46,12 a position to draw your own informed conclusion. 53 00:06:49,76 --> 00:06:54,94 Of course the ones still most affected by the events of that tragic day are the 54 00:06:54,95 --> 00:07:00,40 family members of the victims lost on nine eleven. Several have asked to appear in 55 00:07:00,41 --> 00:07:06,80 this documentary although our focus will be primarily technical We are deeply moved 56 00:07:06,81 --> 00:07:13,24 and honored to give them the opportunity to speak directly to you. Now let's hear 57 00:07:13,25 --> 00:07:17,43 from the eighty nine eleven Truth professional petition signers who will share with 58 00:07:17,44 --> 00:07:23,41 you what conclusions they came to among these experts are high rise architects and 59 00:07:23,42 --> 00:07:28,69 engineers in the fields of structural design materials science chemistry fire 60 00:07:28,70 --> 00:07:34,31 protection metallurgy as well as physicists explosives experts and demolition 61 00:07:34,32 --> 00:07:38,91 technicians if we believe that fire has brought down the World Trade Center 62 00:07:38,92 --> 00:07:44,49 buildings on nine eleven this is extremely troubling for those of us in the design 63 00:07:44,53 --> 00:07:50,13 professions architects and engineers even physicists buildings just don't behave 64 00:07:50,14 --> 00:07:54,87 like that there was no hesitation there was no hesitation when it was to hit story 65 00:07:54,88 --> 00:08:00,75 after story but tops of the buildings were basically. Disintegrated the fact that 66 00:08:00,76 --> 00:08:06,65 it was all reduced to rubble and powder just did not make sense of all there was 67 00:08:06,66 --> 00:08:11,49 a total collapse and there's very few things that could explain that our whole 68 00:08:11,50 --> 00:08:17,31 society is being led to believe that these fundamental laws of physics hard science 69 00:08:18,06 --> 00:08:23,64 don't apply anymore and that's I think that's it right now it's. 70 00:08:25,75 --> 00:08:30,94 Also psychologists therapists and counselors along with theologians David Ray 71 00:08:30,95 --> 00:08:32,15 Griffin who have 72 00:08:32,16 --> 00:08:37,04 a deep understanding of the personal issues associated with nine eleven well 73 00:08:37,05 --> 00:08:42,10 explain why it is so difficult for us to come to terms with the reality of these 74 00:08:42,11 --> 00:08:47,90 events and learn how we can help ourselves and others with this difficult yet vital 75 00:08:48,06 --> 00:08:54,23 responsibility we were confident through where we felt secure and all of the sudden 76 00:08:54,24 --> 00:09:00,96 that security collapse so the question becomes why. Why is it that people have so 77 00:09:00,97 --> 00:09:06,05 much trouble hearing this information when your beliefs are challenged fear and 78 00:09:06,06 --> 00:09:11,06 anxiety are created Don't mess with me don't mess with my home don't mess with my 79 00:09:11,07 --> 00:09:15,80 comfort with how things how things are I believe that to be the kind of country 80 00:09:15,81 --> 00:09:22,18 that we think we are we have to face some of the things that are not as we think 81 00:09:22,19 --> 00:09:25,35 they are. We need the truth in order to. 82 00:09:48,57 --> 00:09:53,61 The new World Trade Center Building seven blooms above the site of its original. 83 00:09:54,81 --> 00:09:55,74 Building seven was 84 00:09:55,75 --> 00:10:02,20 a forty seven story high rise not hit by an airplane yet it was the third modern 85 00:10:02,21 --> 00:10:08,38 steel frame skyscraper to collapse rapidly and symmetrically on nine eleven. It was 86 00:10:08,39 --> 00:10:13,60 a football field away from the north tower and sustained minor damage from the am 87 00:10:13,72 --> 00:10:19,64 falling debris building seven's precipitous collapse was blamed on normal office 88 00:10:19,65 --> 00:10:26,08 virus. One Trade Center seven collapse because the fires fueled by office furnish. 89 00:10:27,20 --> 00:10:33,79 It did not collapse from explosives are from fuel oil fires from 90 00:10:33,80 --> 00:10:38,70 about one hundred sixty five until about nine hundred eighty five of my most My 91 00:10:38,79 --> 00:10:40,14 experience has been 92 00:10:40,36 --> 00:10:46,26 a high rise multistory steel buildings would have us to believe that these were it 93 00:10:46,27 --> 00:10:46,39 was 94 00:10:46,40 --> 00:10:50,08 a typical office fire scattered office fires if you will that brought this building 95 00:10:50,09 --> 00:10:55,35 down since the mid sixty's I've tried to follow highrise fires because there are 96 00:10:56,10 --> 00:10:57,14 something we worry 97 00:10:57,15 --> 00:11:02,40 a lot about as we design these buildings and I'm not aware of any. Highrise 98 00:11:02,41 --> 00:11:03,84 building that have come down as 99 00:11:03,85 --> 00:11:09,23 a result of fires I'm Steve Barish founder and president of Parrish architects and 100 00:11:09,24 --> 00:11:10,10 Associates Inc 101 00:11:10,61 --> 00:11:15,10 a thirty three year old architecture planning in engineering for one of the things 102 00:11:15,11 --> 00:11:21,80 that really interested me is how quickly the tower seven fell fell within seven 103 00:11:21,81 --> 00:11:27,35 seconds approximately from top to bottom this building was built in the mid 104 00:11:27,36 --> 00:11:32,82 eighty's and met all the codes at the time I first became aware of the problems 105 00:11:32,83 --> 00:11:39,58 with the official account of the collapse when I saw. Online from architects and 106 00:11:39,59 --> 00:11:44,33 engineers trying to live in truth they pointed out various problems with the of 107 00:11:44,60 --> 00:11:50,50 official story. Once that caught my attention where the Raps failure of the 108 00:11:50,51 --> 00:11:55,88 connections in order for the building to come down at the rate that it did I've 109 00:11:55,89 --> 00:12:00,72 been involved in many large projects including overseeing several high rise 110 00:12:00,73 --> 00:12:05,31 buildings ranging in size from fourteen stories to forty for the course of twenty 111 00:12:05,32 --> 00:12:11,00 years I'm mainly called in to help with very large difficult projects when I 112 00:12:11,01 --> 00:12:16,27 watched building seven collapse it basically left no doubt in my mind something was 113 00:12:16,28 --> 00:12:19,64 wrong Building seven had not been hit by 114 00:12:19,65 --> 00:12:25,96 a plane the coup de gras for me was when I found out that Building seven 115 00:12:26,57 --> 00:12:32,99 had collapsed later that day and when I saw building seven come down to me 116 00:12:33,64 --> 00:12:35,16 the fact that it looks like 117 00:12:35,67 --> 00:12:46,03 a perfect controlled demolition of an intact building. I 118 00:12:46,03 --> 00:12:47,70 mean that's what I call 119 00:12:47,71 --> 00:12:59,94 a smoking gun. Was 120 00:12:59,95 --> 00:13:04,85 the structural steel from World Trade Center seven preserved documented analyzed 121 00:13:05,15 --> 00:13:10,36 according to standard procedures for investigating engineering failures hailing the 122 00:13:10,37 --> 00:13:14,21 collapse study as an assessment rather than as an investigation has allowed 123 00:13:14,22 --> 00:13:18,75 valuable evidence in the form of the towers structural steel to be destroyed it is 124 00:13:18,76 --> 00:13:22,89 a steel that holds the primary key to understand the chronology of the events 125 00:13:22,90 --> 00:13:27,86 resulting in the collapse when did you become aware that the steel from the World 126 00:13:27,87 --> 00:13:33,44 Trade Center was being sold off. I think it was on the order of 127 00:13:33,45 --> 00:13:40,05 a week or so before we arrived on site on October the fifth I believe they were 128 00:13:40,65 --> 00:13:47,12 the city was selling. Or was disposing of material 129 00:13:47,75 --> 00:13:54,51 within two weeks. Of the actual event I believe I was the first one to 130 00:13:55,13 --> 00:13:59,71 find out that the steel is being recycled New York Times reporter Jim glass told me 131 00:13:59,77 --> 00:14:06,59 two weeks after the collapse and I tried to contact city and also New York 132 00:14:06,60 --> 00:14:12,94 Times reporters tried to make sure we can have access to the to do research it was 133 00:14:12,95 --> 00:14:17,39 not happening I just think there's so much that that has been lost in these last 134 00:14:17,40 --> 00:14:21,79 six months that we can never go back and retrieve it that's it's only unfortunate 135 00:14:22,06 --> 00:14:28,09 it's borderline criminal. Four hundred truckloads per day of material were taken 136 00:14:28,10 --> 00:14:33,36 away from the World Trade Center site and sent to China for recycling there were 137 00:14:33,37 --> 00:14:39,76 laws violated in the destruction of that evidence and for the American Society of 138 00:14:39,77 --> 00:14:46,62 Civil Engineers to ignore those events is extremely disturbing. And is 139 00:14:46,63 --> 00:14:51,80 a violation in my opinion the professional code of ethics it was contrary to way 140 00:14:51,84 --> 00:14:57,65 all investigations are done if an airplane crashes they see over off the entire 141 00:14:57,66 --> 00:15:00,88 area nobody touches anything they move it to secure 142 00:15:00,89 --> 00:15:05,71 a location and reconstructing aircraft normally when you have 143 00:15:05,72 --> 00:15:12,45 a structural failure. You carefully go through the debris field. Looking at 144 00:15:12,46 --> 00:15:18,53 each item photographing every team has collapsed and every column where it is on 145 00:15:18,54 --> 00:15:24,37 the ground and you pick them up very carefully and you look at each element we were 146 00:15:24,38 --> 00:15:28,70 able to do that in the case of our seven World Trade Center seven would have been 147 00:15:28,71 --> 00:15:34,24 the first steel framed high rise building in history to simply collapse. There's 148 00:15:34,25 --> 00:15:38,94 a fire you can't do science when you are deprived of the evidence and your 149 00:15:38,95 --> 00:15:45,35 hypothesis is the least valid instead of the most likely and the most likely is in 150 00:15:45,39 --> 00:15:51,73 in the case of Building seven wasn't even mentioned. This is not science so the 151 00:15:51,74 --> 00:15:56,91 claim is that it's something else it's preconceived trying to prove preconceived 152 00:15:56,92 --> 00:15:57,51 ideas. 153 00:16:08,82 --> 00:16:09,02 Was 154 00:16:09,03 --> 00:16:13,63 a proper investigation performed that might have revealed the use of accelerants or 155 00:16:13,64 --> 00:16:20,12 explosives in World Trade Center seven its destruction NIST concedes that they 156 00:16:20,16 --> 00:16:25,90 found no evidence for explosives so then we asked them well did you look and they 157 00:16:25,91 --> 00:16:31,55 said no we did not look for explosives or residues of explosives NIST never did 158 00:16:31,56 --> 00:16:38,54 a proper evaluation of the collapse site and the debris World Trade 159 00:16:38,55 --> 00:16:44,55 Center seven I would have expected they would have tested for explosives also 160 00:16:44,73 --> 00:16:50,44 because of the nature of the collapse and the unprecedented nature of steel framed 161 00:16:50,45 --> 00:16:53,40 high rise building collapsing in such 162 00:16:53,41 --> 00:17:00,02 a fashion my practice has included among other things design and testing of 163 00:17:00,82 --> 00:17:07,06 structures that were designed to withstand blasts specifically for instance to 164 00:17:07,90 --> 00:17:12,57 launch facilities for the Minuteman missile system or the American Society of Civil 165 00:17:12,58 --> 00:17:16,54 Engineers were brought into this investigation early on they did 166 00:17:16,55 --> 00:17:21,03 a very superficial investigation of the site they issued 167 00:17:21,04 --> 00:17:27,76 a report without any significant forensic examination neither Mr Fema 168 00:17:28,00 --> 00:17:33,62 followed standard protocol. For fire and explosion investigations or just fire and 169 00:17:33,63 --> 00:17:37,58 vesting this is for that matter National Fire Protection Association God Number 170 00:17:37,59 --> 00:17:43,59 nine twenty one calls for saving the evidence and being prepared to justify why you 171 00:17:43,60 --> 00:17:49,89 would it also calls for testing for accelerants and explosives when the high 172 00:17:49,90 --> 00:17:56,03 ordered I was involved in this did not do this the minimum explosive charge the 173 00:17:56,04 --> 00:18:00,15 nine pounds it wired to fail critical column I seventy nine but 174 00:18:00,16 --> 00:18:04,42 a producer of pressure wave that would have broken windows and often East is 175 00:18:04,43 --> 00:18:04,86 altered in 176 00:18:04,87 --> 00:18:09,21 a sound level of one hundred thirty to one hundred forty decibels which is the 177 00:18:09,37 --> 00:18:13,76 equivalent of the sound to a gunshot blast there were no witness reports of such 178 00:18:13,77 --> 00:18:18,39 a loud noise there were all kinds of firefighters and civilians that were reporting 179 00:18:18,40 --> 00:18:24,87 explosions you heard explosions like. This like 180 00:18:24,88 --> 00:18:31,43 a distinction like when the compression like. The like floors that were dropping 181 00:18:31,47 --> 00:18:34,71 collapsing this was. Like you felt 182 00:18:35,15 --> 00:18:39,64 a rumble on the ground like almost like you want to grab on to something big 183 00:18:39,65 --> 00:18:45,46 explosion goes back into the floor OK All right give them all you want call your 184 00:18:45,47 --> 00:18:52,01 mother somebody. Just the fact that there were explosions means they need to be 185 00:18:52,02 --> 00:18:56,47 investigated terrorist used explosives the one three we had witnesses two 186 00:18:56,48 --> 00:19:01,00 explosions we have audio recording of explosions we have overwhelming evidence that 187 00:19:01,08 --> 00:19:04,87 there were some explosive events the manual gets into thermite and if it says if 188 00:19:04,88 --> 00:19:09,02 you have melted steel or concrete which we had on nine eleven and there's videos of 189 00:19:09,03 --> 00:19:12,07 it people can see it we should test for it says when you have melted steel or 190 00:19:12,08 --> 00:19:19,00 concrete you test for thermite. So the fact that they're not testing for it is 191 00:19:19,04 --> 00:19:23,65 is crazy we have three thousand you know Americans murdered and we had the first 192 00:19:23,66 --> 00:19:27,31 three high rise and still collapses we have all these reports of explosions we have 193 00:19:27,32 --> 00:19:31,54 a history of terrorists using explosives it's absolutely ridiculous that the I mean 194 00:19:31,55 --> 00:19:35,50 there's no excuse for it it's criminal in my opinion it's absolutely criminal that 195 00:19:35,51 --> 00:19:39,24 they refused to follow the national standards and the national standards say that 196 00:19:39,25 --> 00:19:42,99 they should be testing that for explosives the national standards are very clear we 197 00:19:43,00 --> 00:19:46,11 have preservation of evidence we have spoil ation of evidence there's all kinds of 198 00:19:46,48 --> 00:19:50,06 and basically standards that you don't destroy evidence we don't have the real 199 00:19:50,07 --> 00:19:51,99 story on what happened because there wasn't 200 00:19:52,00 --> 00:20:06,80 a proper investigation done. As 201 00:20:06,81 --> 00:20:11,32 reported by The New York Times engineers were found by the collapse of Building 202 00:20:11,33 --> 00:20:17,84 seven since no steel framed high rise has ever completely collapsed due to fire how 203 00:20:17,85 --> 00:20:23,60 are we to understand this mysterious event high rise buildings simply do not 204 00:20:23,61 --> 00:20:30,05 collapse due to fire there has never been until nine eleven an experience for 205 00:20:30,18 --> 00:20:35,60 a high rise building that was steel framed completely collapsed there have been 206 00:20:35,61 --> 00:20:42,07 fires burned longer and similar structures without any collapse. In this test 207 00:20:42,47 --> 00:20:44,92 done by British Steel in one thousand nine hundred five 208 00:20:45,15 --> 00:20:49,57 a large amount of typical office furniture was burned to see what would happen to 209 00:20:49,58 --> 00:20:54,40 the heavy steel beams that supported the ceiling it's not that it melts in 210 00:20:54,41 --> 00:21:00,88 a fire in fact the fires of normal fires are not hot enough to melt steel even if 211 00:21:00,89 --> 00:21:07,89 you were for example to use an unusual fuel like kerosene you cannot 212 00:21:08,13 --> 00:21:12,72 achieve temperatures hot enough to melt steel but what happens is it starts to lose 213 00:21:12,73 --> 00:21:19,40 its strength and as it loses its strength it starts to sag this was the 214 00:21:19,41 --> 00:21:24,83 largest test of its kind ever conducted it showed how unprotected steel can be 215 00:21:24,84 --> 00:21:26,11 distorted even by 216 00:21:26,12 --> 00:21:32,38 a normal office fire but as is typical in steel buildings the structural beams only 217 00:21:32,39 --> 00:21:37,37 slowly and progressively warped and sag there was no chance of 218 00:21:37,38 --> 00:21:41,22 a sudden collapse. In my previous career as 219 00:21:41,23 --> 00:21:45,33 a firefighter. Normally you'd never be afraid to go into 220 00:21:45,34 --> 00:21:51,34 a type one building because they're not combustible and you would just charge at it 221 00:21:51,35 --> 00:21:56,78 and put the fire out never in my training were we ever taught that these type of 222 00:21:56,79 --> 00:22:01,53 buildings could just collapse you know so there's definitely much more going for 223 00:22:02,28 --> 00:22:06,72 the World Trade Center seven building reminds me of the meridian bank building and 224 00:22:06,77 --> 00:22:10,20 in some ways in Philadelphia the meridian bank building is 225 00:22:10,21 --> 00:22:14,81 a thirty eight story skyscraper that burned for eighteen hours in one thousand nine 226 00:22:14,82 --> 00:22:20,56 hundred ninety one suffered extensive damage from the fire but did not collapse 227 00:22:21,13 --> 00:22:21,86 we've never had 228 00:22:21,87 --> 00:22:27,55 a steel framed skyscraper collapse in the United States or internationally so 229 00:22:27,83 --> 00:22:32,39 there's no precedent as NIST tells us that this collapse mechanism starting with 230 00:22:32,40 --> 00:22:37,68 thermal expansion that worked its way up toward an outward through the building in 231 00:22:37,69 --> 00:22:41,86 a matter of seconds there's not enough time for the building to collapse the way 232 00:22:41,87 --> 00:22:42,84 that NIST tells us 233 00:22:42,85 --> 00:22:49,09 a collapsed this claims the fires were very large very hot and long lasting when in 234 00:22:49,10 --> 00:22:54,86 reality observation which has been researched by many people shows these fires that 235 00:22:54,87 --> 00:23:00,08 were not last very long they were not in the locations were missed claims they were 236 00:23:00,09 --> 00:23:01,63 given saw and I am 237 00:23:01,64 --> 00:23:06,35 a fellow of the American Institute of Architects for the forty plus years that I've 238 00:23:06,36 --> 00:23:08,82 been practicing architecture I've designed 239 00:23:09,40 --> 00:23:15,11 a variety of buildings from small houses to high rise office buildings. Some of the 240 00:23:15,12 --> 00:23:20,14 high rises that I've worked on are one shell into shell here in Houston I was 241 00:23:20,18 --> 00:23:21,49 a project manager for 242 00:23:21,50 --> 00:23:26,60 a twenty two story office building in Akron Ohio later in the day when the World 243 00:23:26,61 --> 00:23:30,93 Trade Center seven collapsed they had already showed us pictures of 244 00:23:31,03 --> 00:23:36,09 a few fires in that building and I mean they weren't even raging and how could that 245 00:23:36,10 --> 00:23:36,68 cause 246 00:23:36,89 --> 00:23:51,87 a building to collapse as if it were imploded couldn't happen. According 247 00:23:51,88 --> 00:23:55,75 to lead investigator Shyam Sunder of the National Institute for Standards and 248 00:23:55,76 --> 00:24:01,60 Technology NIST World Trade Center seven collapsed at freefall acceleration for 249 00:24:01,61 --> 00:24:06,97 more than one hundred feet of its fall what does the speed of the collapse reveal 250 00:24:06,98 --> 00:24:13,62 to us essentially in less than seven seconds. Tower seven came down upon 251 00:24:13,63 --> 00:24:18,44 itself so it's like taking your car keys out and just dropping them that's how fast 252 00:24:18,45 --> 00:24:22,87 the building can go for over one hundred feet which And the only way you can get 253 00:24:22,88 --> 00:24:28,62 that out is when there is zero resistance and so what we're looking out is it 254 00:24:28,63 --> 00:24:35,14 building just coming straight down falling right through itself was zero resistance 255 00:24:35,66 --> 00:24:36,67 buildings don't have 256 00:24:36,68 --> 00:24:41,01 a zero resistance which is why you feel comfortable walking into 257 00:24:41,02 --> 00:24:45,43 a building this building had forty thousand tons of structural steel and its 258 00:24:45,44 --> 00:24:52,17 structural system and that is intended to keep it from going anywhere. I've heard 259 00:24:52,18 --> 00:24:56,03 people say well it came down to freefall or close to free fall and so forth so I 260 00:24:56,04 --> 00:24:58,11 decided to measure myself at 261 00:24:58,12 --> 00:25:01,54 a simple tool at the time called physics told that which allowed me to take 262 00:25:01,55 --> 00:25:03,38 a video and put 263 00:25:03,42 --> 00:25:09,56 a dot on each frame to follow the motion of things and I realized that it actually 264 00:25:09,82 --> 00:25:16,75 coming down at freefall pretty much dead on the acceleration of gravity well 265 00:25:16,79 --> 00:25:23,75 nest in their final draft was saying that the building came down it was forty 266 00:25:23,76 --> 00:25:28,07 percent longer than freefall time. How can such 267 00:25:28,08 --> 00:25:30,92 a publicly visible easily measurable quantity be sent 268 00:25:30,93 --> 00:25:36,74 a sign of freefall time would be an object that has no structural components below 269 00:25:36,75 --> 00:25:41,69 it that was the structural resistance that was provided in this particular case he 270 00:25:41,70 --> 00:25:48,00 was making our case for us. You can't have free fall when their support in the 271 00:25:48,01 --> 00:25:51,69 final report they modified it may actually admitted there was 272 00:25:51,70 --> 00:25:56,52 a period of freefall involved this is telling us that the building below it ceased 273 00:25:56,53 --> 00:26:03,06 to exist. For the first few seconds of the collapse of the building well things in 274 00:26:03,07 --> 00:26:08,85 physics just don't cease to exist and cease to resist the forces that are on them 275 00:26:09,15 --> 00:26:11,72 the building didn't disappear so the building can fall for 276 00:26:11,73 --> 00:26:15,70 a hundred feet at freefall speed that's impossible that's 277 00:26:16,44 --> 00:26:22,20 a violation of the fundamental law of physics that says that for every action 278 00:26:22,21 --> 00:26:28,88 there's an equal and opposite reaction the floors fall they tend to fall and are 279 00:26:28,89 --> 00:26:34,06 braced by the floor directly beneath it and there is some delay their connections 280 00:26:34,07 --> 00:26:34,81 are designed with 281 00:26:34,82 --> 00:26:41,61 a safety factor of one point five to three times the failure load for the members 282 00:26:41,93 --> 00:26:46,71 this is sure is that the member will always fail first first and last that move and 283 00:26:46,72 --> 00:26:46,85 then 284 00:26:46,86 --> 00:26:53,23 a plastic mode the connections failed first with the any of the members exhibiting 285 00:26:53,24 --> 00:26:59,94 large affirmations or reflections over four hundred connections per second 286 00:27:00,01 --> 00:27:05,14 had to fail an order for the member for the members to be released and for the 287 00:27:05,15 --> 00:27:11,85 structure to descend at almost free fall rate to fail at the rate that they 288 00:27:11,86 --> 00:27:18,32 did. Progressively across the building even if for 289 00:27:18,62 --> 00:27:23,28 ward to collapse it still wouldn't be able to collapse all of the connections 290 00:27:23,29 --> 00:27:28,35 simultaneously at the rate that it did without the secondary explosions. 291 00:27:39,74 --> 00:27:46,49 We might anticipate that in an evenly damaged building would fall over. Yet 292 00:27:46,92 --> 00:27:49,30 videos of the collapse of Building seven show 293 00:27:49,31 --> 00:27:55,35 a fairly symmetrical problem how do we make sense of this the exterior of the 294 00:27:55,36 --> 00:28:01,15 building comes down fully symmetrically and I one time both sides of the building 295 00:28:01,48 --> 00:28:07,29 come down completely this is fully indicative of full structural support being 296 00:28:07,30 --> 00:28:11,52 removed for at least six stories that could not happen by fire if the buildings had 297 00:28:11,53 --> 00:28:12,95 come down by fire we would have seen 298 00:28:12,96 --> 00:28:17,57 a more natural progression of collapse and clearly more asymmetrical pattern. 299 00:28:19,48 --> 00:28:25,70 Should have been present. The symmetry is 300 00:28:25,74 --> 00:28:31,98 a smoking gun it cannot happen that when you have asymmetric damage you will get 301 00:28:32,02 --> 00:28:36,82 a perfectly symmetrical collapse the exterior columns on the outside on the outside 302 00:28:36,83 --> 00:28:41,04 as well as on the inside at the bottom would have to be severed almost the same 303 00:28:41,05 --> 00:28:41,41 time. 304 00:28:51,22 --> 00:28:54,23 I work for controlled demolition of corporate at C.D.I. 305 00:28:54,38 --> 00:28:59,10 The top rated explosive demolition firm in the world as an explosives loader my job 306 00:28:59,11 --> 00:29:03,70 was to place explosives in the buildings to prepare them for demolition I was 307 00:29:03,71 --> 00:29:08,91 licensed while in New York by the New York Fire Department to handle explosives and 308 00:29:08,92 --> 00:29:13,50 I worked on major projects such as Seattle Kingdome to show you've ever stadium 309 00:29:13,61 --> 00:29:18,93 Philadelphia Naval Hospital and the and Key Span gas holders in New York what I saw 310 00:29:19,07 --> 00:29:19,52 it was 311 00:29:19,53 --> 00:29:23,92 a classic implosion the center of the core the penthouse area starts to move first 312 00:29:24,12 --> 00:29:29,28 and then the building follows along with it that's another indicator that this in 313 00:29:29,29 --> 00:29:35,82 this report is very suspect finished the outside walls from the lower floors are 314 00:29:35,83 --> 00:29:39,25 power went on top of the other right in the middle of the building just like 315 00:29:39,26 --> 00:29:41,53 a house of cards if it were coming down as 316 00:29:41,54 --> 00:29:47,30 a structural engineer I don't believe that the failure of one column would normally 317 00:29:47,31 --> 00:29:53,59 bring down an entire building in the way we saw World Trade Center seven come down 318 00:29:54,06 --> 00:29:58,99 because of redundancy because of all the other columns in the building that were 319 00:29:59,00 --> 00:30:05,75 not affected according to NASA the failure occurred at column seventy nine on 320 00:30:05,76 --> 00:30:09,76 level twelve this means basically they're talking about 321 00:30:09,77 --> 00:30:13,82 a single column or collapse or failure that resulted in 322 00:30:13,83 --> 00:30:17,29 a total collapse of the building that just does not make any sense. 323 00:30:28,26 --> 00:30:33,16 This provided computer animations in support of their fire collapse theory but what 324 00:30:33,17 --> 00:30:38,58 do independent engineers say about these animations. When you observe the footage 325 00:30:38,59 --> 00:30:42,14 of how the building failed and when you look at the the the animation of the 326 00:30:42,15 --> 00:30:47,65 failure and compare that to what you actually observe in reality I think they 327 00:30:47,69 --> 00:30:51,64 disprove their own theories it is impossible for for it to fail the way they said 328 00:30:52,97 --> 00:30:58,63 the exterior of the NIST World Trade Center seven computer simulation model what's 329 00:30:58,64 --> 00:31:02,93 they put together to try to explain their theory so those large very large 330 00:31:02,94 --> 00:31:08,28 defamations which are not exert of in the video of the actual event and they don't 331 00:31:08,29 --> 00:31:13,49 attempt to explain this in the report what we're seeing is what would happen and 332 00:31:13,51 --> 00:31:18,01 that's what quads and what we see on the real video is not in the house or flaps. 333 00:31:54,65 --> 00:31:58,82 There had to be some agent that was destroying the connections and building number 334 00:31:58,83 --> 00:31:59,34 seven F. 335 00:31:59,35 --> 00:32:03,59 One hundred connections for second and the only thing that I could see that would 336 00:32:03,60 --> 00:32:09,24 be capable of doing this would be explosive devices at the connections. 337 00:32:11,41 --> 00:32:13,99 This is why I think that there has to be 338 00:32:14,00 --> 00:32:18,69 a new investigation to find out the real physical causes for these all these 339 00:32:18,70 --> 00:32:24,87 members to act in an atypical fashion the Freedom of Information Act request to 340 00:32:24,88 --> 00:32:25,49 miss by 341 00:32:25,50 --> 00:32:31,12 a registered structural engineer for tactile laces an analysis substantiating the 342 00:32:31,13 --> 00:32:34,63 walk all failures of the horizontal girders from their seats 343 00:32:34,64 --> 00:32:40,61 a column seventy nine eighty one was denied by this with the claim that releasing 344 00:32:40,62 --> 00:32:47,05 this data might jeopardize public safety. How could that possibly jeopardize public 345 00:32:47,06 --> 00:32:52,05 safety to tell people in the industry engineers who are responsible for designing 346 00:32:52,06 --> 00:32:57,63 these buildings how this failure could occur science is never secret when it's done 347 00:32:57,64 --> 00:32:58,75 right science is 348 00:32:58,76 --> 00:33:04,26 a way of finding out that is self-correcting and while as many people science isn't 349 00:33:04,27 --> 00:33:08,77 science unless it's published unless it's openly published and made available for 350 00:33:08,78 --> 00:33:15,72 treatises the explanations from Fema and from NIST don't add up. But 351 00:33:15,73 --> 00:33:20,65 there is enormous circumstantial evidence circumstantial and actually physical 352 00:33:20,66 --> 00:33:23,00 evidence as well that would lead us to 353 00:33:23,01 --> 00:33:27,79 a different conclusion. And the conclusion is controlled demolition 354 00:33:28,05 --> 00:33:33,65 a building cannot do freefall with huge structural steel structural system in place 355 00:33:33,66 --> 00:33:38,84 to support it without it being blown up that's the only way it could could come 356 00:33:38,85 --> 00:33:43,00 down in freefall with this controlled demolition take of 357 00:33:43,01 --> 00:33:49,98 a TO SHAKE of eight it is not as fluid. As you look to the fifteen for 358 00:33:49,99 --> 00:33:56,38 the Express Building seven to me is is really what gives it away because that's 359 00:33:56,39 --> 00:33:58,92 a classic case of controlled demolition. 360 00:34:16,20 --> 00:34:21,30 This is the original site of the World Trade Center twin towers Construction is now 361 00:34:21,31 --> 00:34:27,93 underway where dramatic new facilities are being erected. Just ten years ago 362 00:34:28,45 --> 00:34:33,22 the planes hit the towers cutting through some exteriors and interior supporting 363 00:34:33,23 --> 00:34:38,56 structural steel columns the fuel from the planes ignited office fires across 364 00:34:38,57 --> 00:34:43,96 several floors according to the official reports the structural steel frame was 365 00:34:43,97 --> 00:34:46,39 weakened and failed causing 366 00:34:46,40 --> 00:34:52,23 a total progressive collapse of each tower does the official explanation makes 367 00:34:52,24 --> 00:34:54,26 sense was there 368 00:34:54,27 --> 00:35:00,84 a comprehensive investigation that examined all of the evidence and I walked into 369 00:35:00,85 --> 00:35:05,58 the office. And the first words that I heard was 370 00:35:05,59 --> 00:35:10,92 a plane just run into the World Trade Center. And my initial thought was well 371 00:35:10,93 --> 00:35:13,93 that's OK It's built to withstand a seven 372 00:35:13,94 --> 00:35:19,53 o seven it did not seem possible that they used these towers that were designed to 373 00:35:19,57 --> 00:35:24,94 withstand the impact of a seven o seven could possibly collapse in such 374 00:35:24,95 --> 00:35:28,91 a short order of time from the time that they were hit there's no way the building 375 00:35:28,92 --> 00:35:34,79 was designed to take the impact of one if not more multiple airplanes they were 376 00:35:34,80 --> 00:35:39,24 designed to withstand hurricane force winds of up to one hundred forty miles an 377 00:35:39,25 --> 00:35:43,41 hour these buildings are built to handle several times 378 00:35:43,42 --> 00:35:47,16 a lot about them as permanent columns could handle five times the load above them 379 00:35:47,73 --> 00:35:49,35 and the core columns can handle three times 380 00:35:49,36 --> 00:35:53,12 a lot about them I remember walking up to a window and 381 00:35:53,16 --> 00:35:59,31 a young man turned to me with tears coming down his face and he said will they fall 382 00:35:59,32 --> 00:36:02,46 down and I said no. Never has 383 00:36:02,47 --> 00:36:07,64 a steel structure building in the history of steel structured buildings ever fallen 384 00:36:07,65 --> 00:36:14,18 down for the reason to fire the majority of the jet fuel was burnt up instantly in 385 00:36:14,19 --> 00:36:21,02 the big fireball. And it was gone. The fires that 386 00:36:21,26 --> 00:36:25,58 were left were office furnishing carpet things like that 387 00:36:25,97 --> 00:36:30,16 a lot of things in these kind of buildings have to be fire resistant by nature it's 388 00:36:30,17 --> 00:36:32,65 required by code so there really isn't 389 00:36:32,74 --> 00:36:38,85 a whole lot of fuel in there to begin with the media portrayed the fires as being 390 00:36:38,86 --> 00:36:45,04 extremely hard. To fires were not that hard and World Trade Center and wanting to 391 00:36:45,08 --> 00:36:51,50 if you look at in its own data you can see that. And to use our own powers of 392 00:36:51,51 --> 00:36:56,29 observation you could tell by a by scene these fires and see 393 00:36:56,30 --> 00:37:03,28 a black smoke come out the window that means that the fires were oxygen starved and 394 00:37:03,29 --> 00:37:09,84 it was incomplete combustion and so it was a rogue temperature fire I looked up in 395 00:37:09,85 --> 00:37:16,79 a manual the burning temperature of jet fuel and found that 396 00:37:16,80 --> 00:37:21,92 that under the conditions that existed at the World Trade Center on nine eleven 397 00:37:22,87 --> 00:37:29,24 that jet fuel had been burning at about seven hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit I 398 00:37:29,25 --> 00:37:35,20 also noticed that the official explanation of what happened 399 00:37:35,93 --> 00:37:42,84 was that the heat from the fire supposedly softened the steel and thereby brought 400 00:37:42,85 --> 00:37:44,67 the buildings down if you have 401 00:37:44,68 --> 00:37:49,15 a flame at seven hundred fifty degrees you can hold that flame under 402 00:37:49,16 --> 00:37:52,55 a steel beam for ever and you'll never reach 403 00:37:52,56 --> 00:37:59,43 a high enough temperature to bend steel let alone melted so immediately I knew at 404 00:37:59,44 --> 00:38:03,58 that point that the official explanation was dead wrong. 405 00:38:15,87 --> 00:38:16,47 Rather than 406 00:38:16,48 --> 00:38:23,29 a slow growing collapse that we might anticipate the twin towers show in the videos 407 00:38:23,82 --> 00:38:30,74 a very rapid sudden onset of destruction what does this imply structural 408 00:38:30,75 --> 00:38:32,39 steel is required by building 409 00:38:32,40 --> 00:38:38,94 a design code to prevent catastrophic failure and loss of public life. Everybody 410 00:38:38,95 --> 00:38:43,13 seeing the building collapses on line eleven and it was shocking how fast the 411 00:38:43,14 --> 00:38:47,78 buildings collapsed this doesn't happen with structural steel buildings and never 412 00:38:47,79 --> 00:38:52,38 has and never will again we assume that fires could destroy 413 00:38:52,39 --> 00:38:58,02 a building why people slept steel buildings because they would destroy slowly the 414 00:38:58,14 --> 00:39:01,89 basic philosophy of the building codes for the last seventy five to eighty years 415 00:39:01,90 --> 00:39:07,56 has been to ensure the failure of the members to provide for the public safety 416 00:39:08,35 --> 00:39:14,40 under this philosophy members that are open loaded well the form don't last the CLI 417 00:39:14,40 --> 00:39:20,83 . With any elastic range of material with increasingly large defamations in the 418 00:39:20,84 --> 00:39:27,04 flesh and this gives rise to march defamations that are visible and apparent to the 419 00:39:27,05 --> 00:39:31,92 occupants of the structure it would gradually twist and bend and give people plenty 420 00:39:31,93 --> 00:39:36,64 of time and safety in getting out of the building I would not have expected the 421 00:39:36,65 --> 00:39:43,19 whole building to just give in at once and I thought it rather that they. Fell 422 00:39:43,23 --> 00:39:50,00 almost perfectly. In very similar ways may seem to 423 00:39:50,14 --> 00:39:56,01 that lightning would strike twice. And it certainly would stay in the damage zone 424 00:39:56,02 --> 00:40:02,51 it would not drop down through eighty thousand tons of insulated and 425 00:40:02,52 --> 00:40:08,19 damage to actual steel and do it in twelve seconds and this claim that the upper 426 00:40:08,20 --> 00:40:13,81 section of each of the towers cross the lower section however when you watch video 427 00:40:13,82 --> 00:40:19,84 closely in the case of World Trade Center one you'll see that the upper section of 428 00:40:19,85 --> 00:40:22,32 the Senate grates itself it appears to be 429 00:40:22,38 --> 00:40:27,80 a controlled demolition of its own of the upper section the top section pushing on 430 00:40:27,81 --> 00:40:33,48 the bottom section it's going to meet equal forces as it goes both sections are 431 00:40:33,49 --> 00:40:39,31 going to be demolished at the same rate so by the time you've crushed 432 00:40:39,78 --> 00:40:45,99 fifteen stories below the top fifteen stories are also going to be crushed by 433 00:40:46,00 --> 00:40:51,42 others demolitions. Done in France would choose what we call the Bernard stack 434 00:40:51,53 --> 00:40:53,43 technique where they take out 435 00:40:53,49 --> 00:40:57,88 a couple fours worth the columns with hydraulics they take the columns out and they 436 00:40:57,88 --> 00:41:02,45 let the building the upper section building drop to full force and when if impacts 437 00:41:02,45 --> 00:41:03,81 the lower section there's 438 00:41:03,81 --> 00:41:10,31 a very definitive observable jolt deceleration and the loss of the loss you're 439 00:41:10,31 --> 00:41:10,92 looking for 440 00:41:10,93 --> 00:41:16,29 a jolt that this thing if it actually comes down and hits you should be able to see 441 00:41:16,30 --> 00:41:22,20 the point at which they actually impact because it would actually slow down the 442 00:41:22,20 --> 00:41:27,41 motion of the falling block it never slows down get Excel or rates the entire time 443 00:41:28,40 --> 00:41:34,62 and that was what was extremely significant I was very familiar with twin towers 444 00:41:34,64 --> 00:41:40,40 elevator shift and I actually wrote up a noun elevator shaft on a top of 445 00:41:40,41 --> 00:41:43,55 a car calling twelve hundred feet 446 00:41:43,55 --> 00:41:50,09 a minute and you could imagine the experience. Before. You coward started 447 00:41:50,11 --> 00:41:56,77 collapsing from the top. Intended daughter to four. And 448 00:41:56,78 --> 00:42:03,37 Canada. Of course was always the middle of the elevator shaft and very 449 00:42:03,38 --> 00:42:10,27 familiar with the interior structure. That surrounded the yellow radius 450 00:42:10,28 --> 00:42:16,98 sheriffs and the fence ability with the elevator companies had twenty four 451 00:42:16,99 --> 00:42:23,31 seven The only way that I can say that 452 00:42:24,59 --> 00:42:30,86 the Taliban could have collapsed. Is that the in period columns would 453 00:42:30,87 --> 00:42:36,90 compromise it would be a problem once you gain access to the elevator shafts then 454 00:42:36,91 --> 00:42:43,71 a team of loading experts would have access to all the core columns and beams 455 00:42:44,17 --> 00:42:47,67 the rest could be accomplished at that point by just the right kind of explosives 456 00:42:47,88 --> 00:42:49,15 for the job at hand. 457 00:43:00,55 --> 00:43:05,64 This National Institute of Standards and Technology acknowledges that the towers 458 00:43:05,65 --> 00:43:11,45 came down at essentially free fall acceleration What are the implications of that 459 00:43:11,46 --> 00:43:18,04 admission. Measurements have indicated that our one collapsed in about eleven 460 00:43:18,11 --> 00:43:24,96 seconds and power to collapse in about nine seconds. This is essentially the 461 00:43:25,08 --> 00:43:30,98 rate at which freefall would happen from what I what I understand the buildings 462 00:43:31,08 --> 00:43:35,77 actually exonerated as they came down meaning they were not getting resistance from 463 00:43:35,78 --> 00:43:39,68 these massive columns in the center of the core of this building core this building 464 00:43:39,69 --> 00:43:45,97 was very heavy your huge columns huge this block accelerates straight down. 465 00:43:47,78 --> 00:43:53,93 It's picking up speed downward continually It doesn't slow down it just continues 466 00:43:54,09 --> 00:44:00,00 to speed the Twin Towers couldn't could not have come straight down through the 467 00:44:00,01 --> 00:44:06,12 thousands of tons of structural steel through the greatest resistance there columns 468 00:44:06,13 --> 00:44:11,44 of steel around the exterior of the building and within the core all of which are 469 00:44:11,45 --> 00:44:17,44 there to prevent. The thing from falling down in so if even if something falls on 470 00:44:17,45 --> 00:44:23,35 it it's not going to immediately just go up up up up up like that floor by floor 471 00:44:23,80 --> 00:44:28,06 it's going to if it's going to collapse it's going to tough to take some time to 472 00:44:28,11 --> 00:44:32,53 weekend the structure below it this structure is capable of holding three to five 473 00:44:32,54 --> 00:44:37,51 times the weight and here it is falling through it with the resistance of only one 474 00:44:37,52 --> 00:44:42,95 third of its weight roughly ninety percent of the resistance has been removed and 475 00:44:42,96 --> 00:44:47,72 what's happening is the top section is not crushing down the lower section like 476 00:44:47,73 --> 00:44:54,53 a pile driver which is the picture of the Basically it's painting it's it's 477 00:44:54,54 --> 00:45:00,35 actually falling into material that's already been pulverized that's offering very 478 00:45:00,36 --> 00:45:06,89 little resistance it's just coming down through prepared for eyes. Material 479 00:45:07,33 --> 00:45:08,98 the buildings fall at 480 00:45:08,99 --> 00:45:14,56 a speed which can only occur if the structure has been removed the vertical 481 00:45:14,57 --> 00:45:20,30 structure structural connections. Not only had to fail nearly 482 00:45:21,02 --> 00:45:26,72 simultaneously but in sequential order I was shocked at the at how the buildings 483 00:45:26,73 --> 00:45:31,85 collapsed really expected that they would have come down much slower that that it 484 00:45:31,86 --> 00:45:38,30 would have tipped over the whole thing did not make sense and 485 00:45:39,23 --> 00:45:39,77 ever since 486 00:45:39,78 --> 00:45:46,68 a hard time believing that the fires did drop the buildings the area 487 00:45:46,69 --> 00:45:52,20 below the damage where the planes flew in and where the fire was that area below 488 00:45:52,21 --> 00:45:58,18 that eighty or ninety stories eighty thousand tons of structural steel was not 489 00:45:58,19 --> 00:46:04,33 damaged in any way yet you stood there and watched it destroy itself wiping out 490 00:46:04,39 --> 00:46:10,73 floor by floor all two hundred eighty seven structural columns. As if they didn't 491 00:46:10,74 --> 00:46:13,49 exist under nice the damage so. 492 00:46:24,47 --> 00:46:30,10 Over one hundred first responders reported sounds of explosions and flashes of 493 00:46:30,11 --> 00:46:36,76 light at the onset of destruction of both towers. These were not discussed in the 494 00:46:36,77 --> 00:46:42,16 misreporting what did these eyewitnesses actually see and hear. 495 00:46:43,91 --> 00:46:45,78 As you again ugh Iran they can always get 496 00:46:45,79 --> 00:46:51,30 a stairway we're going to close and heavy duty explosion inside the lobby we stuck 497 00:46:51,31 --> 00:46:55,67 into. We finally got down to the lobby then we got to the lobby which is big 498 00:46:55,97 --> 00:47:00,67 because there were numerous secondary explosions taking place now as Can they were 499 00:47:00,68 --> 00:47:04,19 continuous explosions it was a secondary of television probably 500 00:47:04,20 --> 00:47:10,90 a device to the plant the before. You know that's the second those close and then 501 00:47:10,91 --> 00:47:16,29 the stuff because it sounds like gunfire you know by my bank and then it also on 502 00:47:17,00 --> 00:47:22,02 the huge closures about fifty consecutive bangs and it went down like 503 00:47:22,03 --> 00:47:26,15 a waterfall and we heard the noise associated with an implosion we heard 504 00:47:26,16 --> 00:47:31,48 a very loud blast of explosions we heard a lot of splosion at that point we heard 505 00:47:31,49 --> 00:47:37,96 a large boom. You know I looked up and just saw the building coming at us you know 506 00:47:37,97 --> 00:47:39,12 it was an explosion it was 507 00:47:39,13 --> 00:47:44,51 a building collapse. To me it sounded like it that to me it sounded like an 508 00:47:44,52 --> 00:47:47,31 explosion there was another major explosion all of 509 00:47:47,32 --> 00:47:51,48 a sudden you hear explosion and you could see the building start to collapse huge 510 00:47:51,49 --> 00:47:55,33 explosion that we all heard and felt we could hear 511 00:47:55,34 --> 00:47:59,71 a rumble which is about five seconds long preceding the actual collapse and then of 512 00:47:59,71 --> 00:48:04,33 . When each of those towers collapsed by just seconds ago there was 513 00:48:04,34 --> 00:48:08,37 a huge explosion and it appears right now the second World Trade Tower has just 514 00:48:08,38 --> 00:48:13,99 collapsed but I was about five blocks away were not heard explosions and then you 515 00:48:14,00 --> 00:48:19,80 heard from far away boom boom and you heard the boom boom boom boom boom boom. 516 00:48:21,04 --> 00:48:26,43 Like. It was like it was just the city you know that in a way if you take out 517 00:48:26,44 --> 00:48:31,74 a bill with the flu and it just started going to pop up with boom boom boom boom 518 00:48:31,75 --> 00:48:36,31 boom and he goes how fast they go like firecrackers they're reporting exactly what 519 00:48:36,32 --> 00:48:41,64 I would expect you hearing BOEM BOEM BOEM BOEM BOEM waves of the of of explosions 520 00:48:41,65 --> 00:48:46,86 going off not one man. Of big boom there are so many videos of witnesses from that 521 00:48:46,87 --> 00:48:51,04 day that report explosions there's radio transmissions from the Afghan why we have 522 00:48:51,05 --> 00:48:54,93 the transcripts that were recorded you know back in two thousand and one of all 523 00:48:54,94 --> 00:48:58,50 these firefighters and first responders reporting explosions this testimony should 524 00:48:58,51 --> 00:49:00,17 have caused the presumption that there was 525 00:49:00,18 --> 00:49:05,44 a good chance explosive residue would be found and justified testing forward rather 526 00:49:05,45 --> 00:49:08,61 than the opposite to doesn't look like a cloud it's like 527 00:49:08,62 --> 00:49:15,15 a huge mushroom in billowing kind of an event. That whole 528 00:49:15,16 --> 00:49:19,43 thing looks nothing like the building falling down it's 529 00:49:19,44 --> 00:49:25,52 a building being blown up that's what the physics shows yet they refuse to consider 530 00:49:25,53 --> 00:49:29,49 the possibility that explosives or some other form of the most of the vice 531 00:49:29,50 --> 00:49:33,86 president used to cause the collapse of the towers and the fact that controlled 532 00:49:33,87 --> 00:49:38,86 demolition is consistent with all the available tactical weapons and the response 533 00:49:38,87 --> 00:49:42,85 to that request for correction is this simply saying they're unable to provide 534 00:49:42,86 --> 00:49:48,20 a force relation for the total collapse even though that was their task given to 535 00:49:48,21 --> 00:49:48,73 them by God. 536 00:50:01,73 --> 00:50:02,94 They much documents 537 00:50:02,99 --> 00:50:08,78 a twelve hundred foot diameter debris field around each tower videos show multi-ton 538 00:50:08,79 --> 00:50:14,66 steel sections of hundreds of individual steel pieces be jetting out of the towers 539 00:50:14,67 --> 00:50:16,48 at sixty miles an hour for 540 00:50:16,49 --> 00:50:23,08 a distance of six hundred feet they also show clouds of debris whole horizon in mid 541 00:50:23,09 --> 00:50:29,85 air and isolated explosive ejections as many as sixty stories below the so-called 542 00:50:29,98 --> 00:50:36,85 partial so videos also show the near total destruction of both towers What 543 00:50:36,86 --> 00:50:42,04 does all this tell us about the forces and energies involved and the destruction. 544 00:50:43,62 --> 00:50:48,99 The spread of debris and no large radius around each tower what we see is an 545 00:50:49,03 --> 00:50:55,03 outward explosion of material beyond the parameters of each footprint and this is 546 00:50:55,04 --> 00:50:59,14 not expected and it's not can grow it with the reports of our government debris 547 00:50:59,15 --> 00:51:03,85 that was shooting out for hundreds of feet in all directions seventy miles an hour 548 00:51:03,86 --> 00:51:09,38 leaving the eighty a floor of the North Tower and making 549 00:51:09,39 --> 00:51:15,94 a fairly level trajectory that to me is fairly alarming large 550 00:51:16,20 --> 00:51:21,52 well to turn beams were hurled hundreds of yards laterally gravity works vertically 551 00:51:21,61 --> 00:51:22,55 not laterally. 552 00:52:04,12 --> 00:52:08,71 So something's happening to throw these things horizontally at those kinds of 553 00:52:08,72 --> 00:52:15,04 speeds and here it is trailing white smoke the whole time it really is indicative 554 00:52:15,08 --> 00:52:20,64 of some kind of explosion the individual explosions that I know is twenty and 555 00:52:20,65 --> 00:52:27,10 thirty and forty stories below the collapsing structure and naysayers tend to say 556 00:52:27,11 --> 00:52:31,30 well that's just error being blown out the windows for me it doesn't really work to 557 00:52:31,31 --> 00:52:32,43 say it's just air pressure 558 00:52:33,22 --> 00:52:37,18 a sign of these are coming out faster than hundred miles an hour the floors 559 00:52:37,22 --> 00:52:43,36 pancaking upon themselves would create gushes of air out the side but not the. Kind 560 00:52:43,37 --> 00:52:48,11 of explosive force that we saw that was through I beams across the street into the 561 00:52:48,12 --> 00:52:54,46 windows of other buildings the exaction of the materials out of the building the 562 00:52:54,88 --> 00:52:58,99 manner in which it fell the speed at which it fell exhibit all the signs of 563 00:52:59,00 --> 00:53:03,41 demolitions and the completeness of destruction down to their individual elements 564 00:53:03,65 --> 00:53:08,62 when the South Tower was destroyed at first it looked like it was going to land in 565 00:53:08,63 --> 00:53:09,70 the street or take 566 00:53:09,71 --> 00:53:15,14 a building out next to it and then all of the sudden it disappears in this huge 567 00:53:15,15 --> 00:53:21,80 cloud of smoke. There were two shrubs 568 00:53:21,81 --> 00:53:27,42 stations around one hundred eight for. The seventy fifth floor 569 00:53:28,88 --> 00:53:35,85 and forty for each floor and the seventh floor at those eight locations there were 570 00:53:35,86 --> 00:53:42,38 four Transformers in each substation that weighed over thirty thousand pounds 571 00:53:42,67 --> 00:53:48,08 the Transformers would not explode on their own they were air cooled dry type 572 00:53:48,46 --> 00:53:54,18 transformer and yet after the collapse there was no evidence of them 573 00:53:55,09 --> 00:54:00,71 being found at the bottom of the tower. I wonder why. 574 00:54:03,13 --> 00:54:09,81 As an architect I would expect to see. Larger portions of the building floors 575 00:54:10,65 --> 00:54:16,55 the decking the steel decking the concrete topping much larger remnants of what the 576 00:54:16,56 --> 00:54:21,17 structural components of this building was after all there was one hundred ten 577 00:54:21,18 --> 00:54:27,40 floors in each building and each floor plate was over an acre in size we have no 578 00:54:27,41 --> 00:54:32,07 explanation of how the concrete was pulverized it takes an enormous amount of 579 00:54:32,11 --> 00:54:37,39 energy and there's no concrete this very little hungry boy you see the moon still 580 00:54:37,70 --> 00:54:43,23 what happened to the concrete was over and I was down here Tuesday and it was like 581 00:54:43,24 --> 00:54:43,50 you were on 582 00:54:43,51 --> 00:54:49,29 a form planet of Lower Manhattan not just the site from river to river it was just 583 00:54:49,42 --> 00:54:54,39 prouder to resist that the concrete was just. Pulverized. 584 00:55:05,97 --> 00:55:10,01 In its report on the World Trade Center seven which came out in May of two thousand 585 00:55:10,02 --> 00:55:13,34 and two the My Documents in Appendix C. 586 00:55:13,64 --> 00:55:19,51 Steel that has been melted and even partially evaporated resembling Swiss cheese 587 00:55:20,23 --> 00:55:25,91 what are we to make of this this was the size of steel that they used in the 588 00:55:25,92 --> 00:55:31,75 construction of Tower seven they didn't use this particular kind of steel in towers 589 00:55:31,76 --> 00:55:35,92 one or Towers two so that's why we know it's pedigree. It was 590 00:55:35,93 --> 00:55:42,08 a surprise to me because it was so eroded and deformed and so. 591 00:55:43,21 --> 00:55:48,47 We took it for analysis in the lab one section of steel was kept how it got to be 592 00:55:48,48 --> 00:55:53,39 in its present state was described by The New York Times as perhaps the deepest 593 00:55:53,40 --> 00:55:59,60 mystery uncovered in the investigation those parts where the entire half inch of 594 00:55:59,61 --> 00:56:05,60 the beam is of has gone entirely dissolved right through and so something happened 595 00:56:05,61 --> 00:56:10,61 to cause the steel to really stand and in some places to disappear entirely Well it 596 00:56:10,62 --> 00:56:12,68 was attacked by what we determined was 597 00:56:12,69 --> 00:56:17,25 a liquid slag when we did the analysis we actually identified it is and I know 598 00:56:17,59 --> 00:56:23,92 a liquid containing iron sulfur and oxygen so Jonathan Barnett study which I 599 00:56:23,93 --> 00:56:29,81 thought was very well done and quite extensive is all documented by Fema in Penn 600 00:56:29,82 --> 00:56:34,03 Dixie and their in their be Pat report that was May of two thousand and two 601 00:56:34,47 --> 00:56:39,43 unfortunately it was never used in the NIST report and I'd like to know why I 602 00:56:39,44 --> 00:56:46,29 missed excluded the evidence of melting steel Why is this not included 603 00:56:46,30 --> 00:56:50,21 Why is this forensic evidence not being included in the report. 604 00:57:00,46 --> 00:57:03,44 First of all let's go back to your basic girlfriend is that there was 605 00:57:03,74 --> 00:57:08,96 a pool with no more steel I know that absolutely no way no eyewitnesses there's 606 00:57:08,97 --> 00:57:15,60 a little bit is that you get down below when you see molten 607 00:57:15,61 --> 00:57:19,69 steel. Of molten steel running down the generals.
