World Trade Center • Financial heart of the world • Symbol of American ingenuity • Purpose not to assign blame
WORLD TRADE CENTER COLLAPSE • Review government’s version of collapse and inconsistencies • Present “Controlled Demolition” Theory • What about WTC 7?
Official Version • FEMA – “Structural damage…fires from jet fuel” • “Pancake” theory – 9/11 Commission
World Trade Center Design • 47 Steel Core Columns 18” x 36” • Foundation 70’ deep into bedrock • 240 perimeter steel columns
Inconsistencies • Hyman Brown – WTC Const MGR “over-designed to withstand almost anything” • Impact of plane similar to pencil into a screen
Fire melted steel? • 1517 degrees F max for jet fuel fires at optimum conditions • Melting point of steel – 2750 degrees F • Black smoke signifies oxygen starved fire
WTC 1 (north) Impact 8:46 am Collapse 10:28 am WTC 2 (south) Impact 9:03 am Collapse 9:59 am Impact to Collapse
Somehow south tower collapsed first • Most fuel burnt off in huge fireball • Collapsed 56 minutes after impact!
Controlled demolition • Professor Steven Jones • Department of Physics and Astronomy • Brigham Young University • Peer reviewed paper • Several reasons to challenge government sponsored Reports
Molten metal present underneath rubble for weeks following attack Consistent with thermite charges
Ejection of steel beams • Horizontal ejection for hundreds of feet • Far below collapse area
Dust Clouds • Nearly all contents were pulverized beyond recognition • 425,000 cubic yards of concrete per tower turned to dust • Another indication of explosives
Rapid Collapses • Supports for lower floors destroyed • No resistance, debunking “pancake” theory
South Tower Collapse • Ejection of beams • Dust • Near free fall collapse
WTC 7 • 47 story steel-frame high rise
WTC 7 • Collapsed at 5:20 pm • FEMA and 9/11 Commission inconclusive as to reason for collapse
Never before or after 9/11 had a steel-structured building collapsed due to fire • On 9/11 it happened 3 times!!
In Review • Government’s version • Controlled demolition theory • WTC 7
Zogby Poll • May 2006 • 42% of Americans believe new investigation of 9/11 events should take place • 70 million Americans!!
