Understanding Ground Zero Evidence

1. Understanding Ground Zero Evidence The Nuclear Destruction of the World Trade Center Compiled By Donald fox June 1, 2013

2. Overview • Presentation will cover the nuclear destruction of WTC Buildings 1, 2, 6 and 7. • Break down of evidence of nuclear fission and fusion at Ground Zero. • Evidence contained in the Department of Energy report Study of Traces of Tritium at the World Trade Center proves nuclear fusion took place at Ground Zero. • Evidence contained in the USGS report Environmental Studies of the World Trade Center Area After the September 11, 2001 Attack proves nuclear fission. • The official conclusions of the NIST report will be refuted. • Judy Wood’s directed energy weapon (DEW) non-theory will be refuted. • Steve Jones’ nanothermite theory will also be refuted. • Planes and video fakery will NOT be covered. Real planes could not have caused the destruction of these buildings and neither could fake planes. • Research contributed by Ed Ward MD, Jeff Prager and Chuck Boldwyn.

3. A Lot of Evidence at Ground Zero • The main issue is how to sift through all of it. • Not everything Steve Jones and Judy Wood proclaim about 9/11 is wrong but at key points they lead you astray. • The best evidence is USGS dust samples and the Department of Energy water samples. • Eyewitness testimony of very high temperatures at Ground Zero for 6 months after 9/11. • Surrounding buildings suffered damage as a result of the explosions that demolished the Twin Towers – especially the Winter Garden Atrium and the Bankers Trust building.

4. How Do Two 500,000 ton Buildings Get Demolished in less than 30 Seconds?

5. Observed Phenomena of theDestruction of WTC1 and 2 • Two 500,000 ton 110 story skyscrapers pulverized in mid-air • Extremely rapid onset of “collapse.” • Destruction proceeds through path of greatest resistance at near freefall speed. • 90% of the debris landed outside of the building’s footprints. • No “stack of pancakes” as expected in a gravitational collapse. • Buildings destroyed from the top down and inside out with debris ejected upward and outward. • Pyroclastic flow and mushroom clouds.

6. Observed Phenomena of theDestruction of WTC1 and 2 • A series of huge explosions before each tower “collapses.” • One chunk of debris was ejected up at a 45° angle and out 603 feet from the North Tower into the Winter Garden. • 1/3 of the buildings were completely vaporizedand a cloud of fine dust consisting of gypsum, cement and steel covered Lower Manhattan. • Human remains found in the Bankers Trust building.

8. The WTC Buildings EXPLODED! • They did not somehow magically turn into dust. • Once you conclude the buildings did indeed explode that’s the end of NIST, Judy Wood and Steve Jones.

9. 9/11 Was a Black Op • A black operation or black op is a covert operation by a government, a government agency, or a military organization. By extension the term may also be used for activities by private companies or groups. A black operation typically involves activities that are highly clandestine and often outside of standard military protocol or even against the law. Key features of a black operation are that it is clandestine, it has negative overtones, and it is not attributable to the organization carrying it out. A single such activity may be called a "black bag operation".

10. NIST Cover Story • When a black operation is employed, a cover story is created before hand. The cover story is sent out to ”reliable” news agencies at the proper moment throughout the world. The cover story then becomes the history, a fait accompli. • The NIST Report was used to give legitimacy to the cover story that Muslim hijackers armed with box cutters flew commercial airplanes into the Twin Towers causing them to collapse at free fall speed.

18. Let’s Dispense with the NIST Nonsense Right Off the Bat • No steel framed high rise structure has ever collapsed due to fire before or since 9/11. • On 9/11 three massive skyscrapers disappeared from the skyline supposedly due kerosene and office fires • Clearly the Twin Towers exploded and Building 7 was a controlled demolition using a combination of conventional explosives and mini-neutron bombs. • Only 929 cubic feet volume of jet fuel remained in the North Tower and 793 cubic feet in the South Tower

23. IntexAbove Ground Pool is 1,017 Cubic Feet

24. Jet Fuel Has No Explanatory Power for the Destruction of the Towers • The mass of one Twin Tower is variously estimated to be between 250,000 and 500,000 tons, a factor of 11,000 to 22,000 times greater than that of the jet fuel. • If 900 cubic feet of fuel was spread evenly over just one 40,000 square feet floor of a Tower, it would result in a film 0.27 inches thick, about the thickness of a pencil. • If 900 cubic feet of fuel was spread over all 110 floors of one Tower, if would result in a film 0.00245 inches thick, which is less than the thickness of one sheet of paper. • The belief that the kinetic energy of this inconsequential amount of fuel arriving at 500 mph could cause significant structural damage to these immense buildings is ludicrous. • Similarly, the belief that burning this inconsequential amount of jet fuel (essentially kerosene) could cause any significant heating of the structural steel of this building is preposterous.

25. A Telltale Sign of a Black Op is the Cover Story Being Released Prematurely • Jane Standley of the BBC announces that Building 7 collapsed 30 minutes before it actually came down. • Similar to the November 23, 1963 Edition of the Christchurch Star newspaper in New Zealand printing info on Lee Oswald BEFORE he was charged with shooting JFK.

29. What Can Cause the Observed Effects? • Jet fuel fires even if they burned hot enough and long enough would cause the buildings to sag and gradually collapse. • Jet fuel would not be able to eject debris up at a 45° angle and out 600 feet into the Winter Garden. • To explode steel an explosive needs to have a detonation velocity of 6,100 meters per second. • To explode cement a detonation velocity of 3,200 meters per second is required. • Kerosene only has a detonation velocity of 1,600 meters per second. • There is no validity to the official NIST story.

30. The 4 Major Alternative Theories of the Destruction of the WTC • 1. Dimitri Khalezov: Three 150 kt underground nukes took out the Twin Towers and Building 7. The “big nuke” theory. • 2. Nanothermite planted in the Towers presumably used in conjunction with conventional explosives such as RDX or HMX. Steve Jones, Richard Gage, Christopher Bollyn and Mark Bilk promote this theory. • 3. Tesla inspired directed energy weapon “DEW.” Judy Wood, Andrew Johnson and Morgan Reynolds are associated with this non-theory since Judy Wood claims to not have a theory. • 4. Low-yield nuclear bombs the “mini-nuke” theory promoted by Dr. Ed Ward, Jeff Prager and myself.

31. What is Thermite? • Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder fuel and metal oxide. When ignited by heat, thermite undergoes an exothermic oxidation-reduction reaction. Most varieties are not explosive but can create brief bursts of high temperature in a small area. Its form of action is similar to that of other fuel-oxidizer mixtures, such as black powder. Thermites have diverse compositions. Fuels include aluminum, magnesium, titanium, zinc, silicon, and boron. Aluminum is common because of its high boiling point. Oxidizers include boron(III) oxide, silicon(IV) oxide, chromium(III) oxide, manganese(IV) oxide, iron(III) oxide, iron(II,III) oxide, copper(II) oxide, and lead(II,IV) oxide.

33. Could Nanothermite Turn a 500,000 Ton Building Into Dust? • Detonation velocity only 895 meters per second • Thermite is an incendiary • Thermite gets very hot, it produces molten iron, it can melt steel, and it can catch things on fire, but it is absolutely not an explosive. • 895 m/s is obviously too low of a value to account for the explosive effects observed in the catastrophic destruction of the WTC Twin Towers, including turning concrete and other materials into dust or separating and propelling steel members and other materials outward

34. Steven E Jones • Promotes theory that high-temperature cutter-charges such as thermite, HMX or RDX destroyed WTC. • Denies Mini-Nukes were used to destroy the WTC • Jones earned his bachelor's degree in physics, magna cum laude, from Brigham Young University in 1973, and his Ph.D. in physics from Vanderbilt University in 1978. Jones conducted his Ph.D. research at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (from 1974 to 1977), and post-doctoral research at Cornell University and the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility.

35. Jones has Extensive Nuclear Physics Background • Jones conducted research at the Idaho National Laboratory, in Arco, Idaho where, from 1979 to 1985, he was a senior engineering specialist. • He was principal investigator for experimental muon-catalyzed fusion from 1982 to 1991 for the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects. • From 1990 to 1993, Jones studied fusion in condensed matter physics and deuterium under U.S. Department of Energy and Electric Power Research Institute sponsorship. • Jones also collaborated in experiments at other physics labs, including TRIUMF (Vancouver, British Columbia), KEK (Tsukuba, Japan), and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory at Oxford University

36. Is Steve’s Real Mission to Deny Nukes? • Promotes a theory (thermite) that cannot possibly explain what was observed on 9/11. • Has extensive background in nuclear physics and denies that nuclear weapons were used on 9/11 • “But to date, all known hydrogen bomb-explosions have been started (“ignited”) by fission bombs. Our technology is not yet sufficient to have a “pure” fusion device of any significant size – we struggle to ignite small d-t pellets in a laser-bombardmentenvironnent.”

39. The Judy Wood DEW Non-Theory • Judy has no theory for the destruction of the WTC buildings. • Twin Towers destroyed faster than physics can explain by a free fall speed “collapse.” • Twin Towers destroyed from the top down and pulverized in mid-air. • Seismic impact was minimal – too small to be a conventional controlled demolition. • Denies explosives or high heat was involved. • Tritium levels in Building 6 due to cold fusion – no ionizing radiation

40. What is a Directed Energy Weapon? • Beam Weapons, Energy Weapons, and Directed Energy Weapons (DEW):I have used the terms "beam weapons" and "directed energy weapons" to refer to unconventional weapons (exotic weapons) that are energy weapons. I broadly define DEW as Energy that is Directed and is used as a Weapon. The full range of these weapons is classified information, so I make no limits or distinction of categories within the realm of energy weapons, as doing so would imply specific knowledge of all that is available. In the following paragraph, I have listed some of the possibilities we are aware of.My critics have accused us of insisting that beam weapons did their damage from outer space, yet I make no claim about whether the directed energy weapon operated from a space-, air-, or ground-based platform. Nor do I make any claim about what wavelength(s) was used, what the source(s) of energy was, whether it involved interference of multiple beams, whether it involved sound waves, whether it involved sonoluminescence, whether it involved antimatter weapons, whether it involved scalar weapons, whether it involved HAARP, whether it involved a nuclear process (e.g. NDEW), whether it involved conventional directed energy weapons (cDEW), whether it involved improvised directed energy weapons (iDEW), nor what kind of accelerator was used, nor do I claim to know what the serial numbers of the parts that were in the weapon(s). • What I do claim is that the evidence is consistent with the use of energy weapons that go well beyond the capabilities of conventional explosives and can be directed.

41. Hurricane Erin: Irrelevant to the Destruction of the WTC Buildings • Andrew Johnson: “One of the most striking pieces of the data presented is that from a set of magnetometers monitored by the University of Alaska. Several instruments show significant deviations from “background” or “normal” readings as the events of 9/11 were unfolding. A further selection of this data is presented in relation to variations during the hurricane seasons of 2001, 2004 and 2005. A later part of the study examines some of the data relating to patterns of earthquakes in 2008 and possibly associated unusual weather patterns, which may be related to secret or partially disclosed environmental modification technology (such as HAARP). However, the study does not establish any clear links between HAARP and the events in New York on 9/11.”

42. Erin Posed No Threat to Land • Several hundred miles out in the Atlantic, Hurricane Erin—the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2001 season—was weakening as it began to turn toward the north-northeast, away from the East Coast. Though it posed no threat to land, Erin had been producing large swells along local beaches and was one of the main headlines early that morning. In fact, The New York Times weather report on September 11 included a special “Focus” write-up on what it called “Hurricane Day,” explaining how in “9 out of 10 years since 1886, at least one tropical storm or hurricane has raged in the Atlantic on Sept. 11.” • “For those heading to an airport,” the 9/11 Commission report stated, “weather conditions could not have been better for a safe and pleasant journey.” The 8:51 a.m. temperature reading was 68°F at Central Park, 72°F at La Guardia, and 73°F at both JFK and Newark Airports.”

43. Erin is a Distraction • Erin caused no precipitation let alone physical damage to New York. Erin WAS reported in the New York Times weather section so it was NOT ignored in the media. A hurricane spinning out in the Atlantic happens 9 out of 10 years on September 11 so this was routine and hardly worthy of front page headlines. Wood fails to demonstrate HOW the hurricane was used to demolish the WTC buildings. The material on Wood’s website certainly is intended to lead a reader to believe that the hurricane played some role in the events of 9/11 but they DO NOT attempted to explain what that role is. One can conclude that they are using the hurricane as a distraction from what really happened to the WTC buildings.

44. Survivors of Stairwell B • Sixteen people survived inside the collapse of the World Trade Center, and they were all in Stairwell B of the North Tower, in the center of the building. The survivors were spread out between floors 22 and 1. A step or two slower meant death, but so, too, did a step or two faster. Captain Jay Jonas and five of his firefighters from Ladder Six, based in Chinatown, had been on the 27th floor of the North Tower when they heard a rumble, felt the staircase sway, watched as the lights flickered off and on. A captain from another company let Jonas know the cause of the disturbance: The South Tower had just collapsed. • “I’m pulling the plug,” Jonas said, and gave the order to evacuate. He didn’t tell his men why; they didn’t know that the South Tower was gone. “For me, that was the scariest point,” said Jonas. “I’m thinking, we’re not going to make it out.” • They thought they were witnessing a nuclear attack.

46. Judy Wood: 9/11 Gatekeeper • Is Judy “merely a gatekeeper, feigning the role of muckraker and champion of injustice, while all the time carrying water for the very power structures that she claims to rail against? Is she really exposing government collusion in criminal and treasonous behavior, or is she containing the limits of that exposure within certain 'acceptable' corridors of public discourse?"

47. Nuclear Physics Basics • Nuclear physics is the field of study that concentrates on understanding the atomic nucleus. • The atomic nucleus is a tiny massive entity at the center of an atom. Occupying a volume whose radius is 1/100,000 the size of the atom, the nucleus contains most (99.9%) of the mass of the atom. • Along with neutrons, protons make up the nucleus, held together by the strong force. The proton is a baryon and is considered to be composed of two up quarks and one down quark. • The neutron is a baryon and is considered to be composed of two down quarks and one up quark. A free neutron will decay with a half-life of about 10.3 minutes but it is stable if combined into a nucleus. The decay of the neutron involves the weak interaction.

48. Nuclear Density • The nucleus is composed of protons (charge = +1; mass = 1.007 atomic mass units ([μ]) and neutrons. The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number (Z) and defines which chemical element the nucleus represents. The number of neutrons in the nucleus is called the neutron number (N), whereas the total number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus is referred to as the mass number (A), where A = N + Z. The neutrons and protons are referred to collectively as nucleons. A nucleus with a given N and Z is referred to as a nuclide. Nuclides with the same atomic number are isotopes, such as 12 C and 14 C, whereas nuclides with the same N, such as 14 C and 16 O, are called isotones. Nuclei such as 14 N and 14 C, which have the same mass number, are isobars. • Nuclear density is about 200,000 tons/mm 3 Imagine a cube that is 1 mm on a side. If filled with nuclear matter, it would have a mass of about 200,000 tons. This demonstrates the enormous matter/energy density of nuclei and gives some idea as to why nuclear phenomena lead to large energy releases.

49. Radioactive Decay • Of the 6,000 species of nuclei that can exist in the universe, about 2,700 are known, but only 270 of these are stable. The rest are radioactive, that is, they spontaneously decay. The driving force behind all radioactive decay is the ability to produce products of greater stability than one had initially. In other words, radioactive decay releases energy and because of the high energy density of nuclei, that energy release is substantial. Qualitatively we describe radioactive decay as occurring in three general ways: α -, β -, and γ -decay. Alpha-decay occurs in the heavy elements, and consists of the emission of a 4 He nucleus. Beta-decay occurs in nuclei whose N/Z ratio is different from that of a stable nucleus and consists of a transformation of neutrons into protons or vice versa to make the nucleus more stable. Gamma-decay occurs when excited nuclei get rid of some or all of their excitation energy via the emission of electromagnetic radiation, or via the radiationless transfer of energy to orbital electrons.

50. Uranium-235 Fission • If a massive nucleus like uranium-235 breaks apart (fissions), then there will be a net yield of energy because the sum of the masses of the fragments will be less than the mass of the uranium nucleus. If the mass of the fragments is equal to or greater than that of iron at the peak of the binding energy curve, then the nuclear particles will be more tightly bound than they were in the uranium nucleus, and that decrease in mass comes off in the form of energy according to the Einstein equation. For elements lighter than iron, fusion will yield energy. • In one of the most remarkable phenomena in nature, a slow neutron can be captured by a uranium-235 nucleus, rendering it unstable toward nuclear fission. A fast neutron will not be captured, so neutrons must be slowed down by moderation to increase their capture probability in fission reactors. A single fission event can yield over 200 million times the energy of the neutron which triggered it!
