All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as sel-evident.

This book summarizes about eight years o research
(10 to 20 hours per week) worth about one hal million
dollars at my usual consulting rate detailed ndingsare available at http://www.tw.org/911.html.
It is intended or persons who believe the ocial
eplanation o 9/11, persons who dismiss other eplana-
tions o 9/11 as conspiracy theory, and persons who
have either conducted an independent investigation o
9/11, or ollowed the work o other investigators.
I youre in the rst group, welcome. This book is a
good place to begin to digest the vast amount o inorma-
tion produced by independent investigators. Read the
book, then visit our web site tw.org or links to more.
I youre in the second group, your reusal to ace
your critics in public orums is telling. By denition, alleplanations o 9/11 are conspiracy theories. The issue
is whether or not a particular theory is supported by the
acts. The acts dont support the ocial theory.
I youre in the third group, thanks. This book would
not have been possible without your eorts. Think o
it as an Eecutive Summary. Give it to someone who
may advance the cause o 9/11 truth.

On September 11, 2001, America was attacked.At 8:47 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing
767 out o Boston, bound or Los Angeles, crashed intothe north tower o the World Trade Center in New York.
At 9:03 a.m., United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing
767 out o Boston, bound or Los Angeles, crashed into
the south tower.At 9:38 a.m., American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing
757 out o Washingtons Dulles International Airport,
bound or Los Angeles, crashed into the western wall
o the Pentagon.
At 10:03 a.m., United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing
757 out o Newark, bound or San Francisco, crashednear Pittsburgh.
The 110-story towers o the World Trade Centerwere obliterated. The Pentagon suered massive damage.
Aircrat debris was ound in Pennsylvania.
According to reports, the death toll was 2750 per-
sonsmostly civilian nationals o 90 countriesat theWorld Trade Center, 125 persons at the Pentagon, and
265 passengers and crew on the our planes.
Seven years later, what really happened on 9/11,
remains shrouded in a veil o doubts and secrecy.

Terrorists were reported to have hijacked the planes,
and two days later, Secretary o State Colin Powell identi-
ed Osama Bin Laden as the prime suspect.
Europols director, Jurgen Storbeck, stated (Tele-graph, September 15, 2001): Its possible that he [binLaden] was inormed about the operation; its even pos-
sible that he infuenced it; but hes probably not the man
who steered every action or controlled the detailed plan.
On September 16, President Bush, brushing o
doubts about Osama bin Laden, declared a crusade
to rid the world o evil-doers.
On the day o the attack on America, the WashingtonTimesquoted a paper by the Army School o AdvancedMilitary Studies which said that the MOSSAD, the Is-
raeli intelligence service, Has capability to target U.S.
orces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.
Ater 9/11, dozens o Israelis were reported to havebeen arrested, but the role played by this huge Israeli spy
ring that may have trailed suspected al-Qaeda members
in the United States without inorming ederal authori-
ties remained unclear, and it is no longer tenable to
dismiss the possibility o an Israeli angle in this story,
wrote Justin Raimondo (antiwar.com, March 8, 2002).
Field reports by the Drug Enorcement Administra-
tion agents, and other U.S. law enorcement ocials,
on the alleged Israeli spy ring have been compiled in a
60-page document (John F. Sugg, Weekly Planet, April22, 2002).
DEA agents say that the 60-page documentwas a drat intended as the base or a 250-page report. The larger report has not been

produced because o the volatile nature osuggesting that Israel spies on Americasdeepest secrets.
Others suggest that Israels MOSSAD had ore-knowledge o 9/11. Fo News Carl Cameron did a
4-part series on this episode (December 2001) .
The attacks on 9/11 led to the U.S. war on Aghan-
istana war planned prior to 9/11, ater negotiations
with the Taliban or a pipeline had broken down.
The Taliban, ater initially negotiating with Unocal,
had begun showing a preerence or Bridas Corporation
o Argentina. During the negotiationswhich ocurred
prior to 9/11U.S. representatives told the Taliban
(Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie, BinLaden, The Forbidden Truth), either you accept our o-er o a carpet o gold, or we bury you under a carpeto bombs.
Niaz Naik, a ormer Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was
told by senior American ocials in mid-July that mili-
tary action against Aghanistan would go ahead by the
middle o October (BBC News, September 18, 2001).
And the Irish Times(February 11, 2002) reported:The Pakistani President, Gen. PervezMusharra, and the Aghan interim leader,Mr. Hamid Karzai, agreed yesterday thattheir two countries should develop mu-
tual brotherly relations and cooperate in allspheres o activity including a proposedgas pipeline rom Central Asia to Pakistanvia Aghanistan.
Its curious that these two leaders, who only later
-
8/3/2019 911 Unveiled p63
14/87
49/11 Unveiled
vowed to bury the recent history o poisonous relations
between their nations (Washington Post, April 3, 2002),could agree so quickly to the pipeline. Aghanistans
interim president Hamid Karzai, and Zalmay Khalilzad,
the Bush-appointed special envoy to Aghanistan, prob-ably acilitated the agreement.
According to George Monbiot (Guardian, Febru-ary 12):
Both Hamid Karzai, the interim president,and Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. special en-voy, were ormerly employed as consultantsto Unocal, the U.S. oil company whichspent much o the 1990s seeking to build apipeline through Aghanistan.
Zalmay Khalilzad drew up Unocals risk analysis onits proposed trans-Aghan gas pipeline. In 2003, ZalmayKhalizad became the U.S. ambassador to Aghanistan,
and on June 22, 2005 was sworn in as ambassador to
Iraq.
While the identities o the hijackers remained in
doubt, despite U.S. statements that 15 o the 19 al-leged hijackers were citizens o Saudi Arabia, despite
the act that the Taliban had stated their willingness to
give up Osama bin Laden or trial to an international
court, on October 7, 2001, without the benet o a UN
resolution, the United States, Canada and the United
Kingdom launched their war on Aghanistanone othe worlds poorest countries, already devastated by 23years o war and civil strie resulting rom the Russian
invasion o 1979.
U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte said (Irwin

Arie, Reuters, October 8, 2001), in a letter to the15-nation Security Council, that the investigation
into the attacks on his country has obtained clear and
compelling inormation that the al-Qaeda organization,
which is supported by the Taliban regime in Aghanistan,had a central role in the attacks.
The letter added, there is still much we do not
know. Our inquiry is in its early stagesbut that did
not prevent the U.S. rom launching a war on Aghani-
stan.
The war in Aghanistan created a million new reu-
gees (adding to the eisting ve or si million), caused
the death o 5,000 civilians by bombing, another 20,000
were killed indirectly.
President George H. W. Bush is reported to have told
U.S. troops in Kuwait that they were doing the Lords
work (AFP, January 19, 2000). President George W.Bush would claim he was told by God to invade Iraq
and attack Osama bin Ladens stronghold o Aghani-
stan (Independent, October 7, 2005).More than si months ater the U.S. launched its
war on terrorism, hard evidence regarding the 9/11
attack remained scarce.
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III admitted (LosAngeles Times, April 30, 2002):
In our investigation, we have not uncovereda single piece o papereither here in theUnited States, or in the treasure trove o in-ormation that has turned up in Aghanistanand elsewherethat mentioned any aspecto the September 11 plot.

The war on Aghanistan seemed to ollow the script
written by The Project or the New American Century.
Award-winning journalist, author, and lmmaker,
John Pilger, wrote (December 16, 2002):Two years ago a project set up by the men
who now surround George W. Bush saidwhat America needed was a new Pearl Har-bor. Its published aims have, alarmingly,
come true.Thousands o Muslim immigrants were rounded up
ater the attacks o September 11. They were subjected
to long-term detentions without due process o law,
and immediate deportation. The homes and oces o
prominent Muslim leaders were raided. There was FBI
surveillance o Muslim activity, secret evidence was usedby government prosecutors, and several Islamic charities
were closed.
Net it was Iraqs turnthe decision had been made
in the immediate atermath o 9/11 (Chalmers Johnson,
The Sorrows o Empire, 2004):
In the hours immediately ollowing theSeptember 11, 2001 attacks . . . Rumseldagain insisted that Iraq should be a principaltarget o the rst round in the war againstterrorism. The president allegedly repliedthat public opinion has to be prepared be-
ore a move against Iraq is possible.Prodded by the neocons, on March 19, 2003, the
U.S. launched a preemptive war on Iraq.
Israeli journalist Ari Shavit (Haaretz, April 5, 2003)wrote:

The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neo-conservative intellectuals, most o them
Jewish, who are pushing President Bush tochange the course o history.
In June 2005, Michael Smith, a reporter or the
Sunday Timeso London, revealed the secret DowningStreet memo, dated July 23, 2002, outlining an agree-
ment between President Bush and Prime Minister Tony
Blair to the acts and intelligence on Iraq.Bush wanted to remove Saddam, throughmilitary action, justied by the conjunctiono terrorism and WMD. But the intelligenceand acts were being ed around the policy.
To urther prepare Americans or war, they were
led to believe that Islamic etremists were responsibleor anthra attacks in the U.S. that began on September
18, 2001, and continued or several weeks.
White House ocials repeatedly pressed FBI Direc-
tor Robert Mueller to prove it was a second-wave assault
by al-Qaeda (James Gordon Meeks, New York Daily
News, August 2, 2008).On October 15, 2001, President Bush said,There may be some possible link to BinLaden, adding, I wouldnt put it past him.Vice President Cheney also said Bin Ladenshenchmen were trained how to deploy and
use these kinds o substances, so you start topiece it all together.
But by then the FBI already knewanthra spilling out o letters addressed tomedia outlets and to a U.S. senator was a

military strain o the bioweapon.
On October 18, 2001, Senator McCain, on the
David Letterman show, said the anthra may have come
rom Iraq, and that Iraq was the second phase o the
war in Aghanistan.Several days later, onMeet the Press, Joe Lieberman
made a concerted eort to try and link the anthra in
the public mind to Saddam Hussein and to Iraq and
Islamic radicalism (democracynow.org, August 4, 2008).
9/11 was a godsend or the U.S. military-industrial
comple. A $48 billion increase in the deense budget
sailed through both houses o Congress, bringing U.S.
military spending to $379 billion.
This represented (Washington Post, January 27,2002)
the biggest one-year rise since the Reaganbuildup two decades ago and a suspensiono the peace dividend. . . . It matches thecombined military spending o the 15 coun-tries with the net biggest deense budgets.
U.S. energy companies also received a dividend.In July 2008, EonMobil, Shell, BP and Total
were granted no-bid contracts in Iraq (Naomi Klein,
democracynow.org, July 15, 2008)to manage eisting elds in Iraq and holdonto 75 percent o the worth o those con-
tracts and leave only 25 percent or Iraqis .. . where 51 percent or the country is thebaseline or new eploration, or new elds.
In the past couple o years, many Americans have
begun to believe that the U.S. governments version o
-

9/11 is either incomplete, or incorrect.
In August 2006, Scripps Howard News Service re-ported:
More than a third o the American publicsuspects that ederal ocials assisted in the9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action tostop them so the United States could go to
war in the Middle East, according to a new
Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.In September 2006, Timemagazine reported that
36 percent o Americans believed the governments
complicity in the events o 9/11.
In October 2006, Angus Reid Global Monitorre-ported:
Many adults in the United States believe thecurrent ederal government has not beencompletely orthcoming on the issue o the9/11 terrorist attacks, according to a pollby the New York Times and CBS News.53 per cent o respondents think the Bush
administration is hiding something, and 28per cent believe it is lying.
The 9/11 Commissions chairman Thomas H. Kean
and vice-chairman Lee H. Hamilton have written that
they were setup to ail (Without Precedent: The InsideStory o the 9/11 Commission, 2007). Senator Ma Cle-
land resigned rom the 9/11 Commission saying Its ascam. Senator Bob Kerrey threatened to resign.
The 9/11 investigation was directed by Philip Ze-
likow who seemed to have little interest in nding out
what really happened on 9/11. This is clear rom the

way he structured the investigation.
Zelikow divided the sta into nine teams: al-Qaeda
and its history, intelligence collection, counter-terrorism
policy, terrorist nancing, border security and immi-
gration, the FBI and other domestic law enorcementagency, aviation and transportation security, emergency
response, ederal governments emergency response

the United Statesthe new preemptive war doctrine othe Bush administration written or then NSC Director,
Condoleezza Ricehad worked on the Bush transition
team. He had a hidden agenda: connect al-Qaeda and
Iraq (Shenon, p130).
The rationale or the war on Iraq, to eliminate
weapons o mass destruction, soon unravelled, and gave
a boost to the 9/11 Truth movement.The Family Steering Committee were the rst to
push or an investigation o 9/11. A milestone o sorts

A brie review o pretets, deceptions, and cover-upsmay be useul in understanding how the Bush admin-

Suez Canal
Britain and France had their plan or taking back theSuez Canal ater it was nationalized by President Nasser
o Egypt on July 26, 1956. France secretly enlisted the
help o Israel, writes James Bamordormer Investiga-tive Producer or ABCs World News Tonightwith Peter
Jennings (Body o Secrets: Anatomy o the Ultra-SecretNational Security Agency rom the Cold War Through theDawn o a New Century, 2001).
The intrigue involved Israel launching a waragainst Egypt. Then, once Egypt began de-ending itsel, England and France would goin as peacekeepers. As part o the peace,
the canal would be taken rom Egypt andkept by Britain and France. Israel wouldcapture the Sinai rom Egypt.
The plan was agreed to by Israeli Prime Minister

USS Liberty
While alsely blaming enemies, the U.S. gov-
ernment, and Americas ree press, have sacriced
Americans in order to cover-up or riends.
On June 8, 1967, a U.S. Navy intelligence ship,
the USS Liberty, was attacked in international watersby Israels air and naval orces. (USS LibertyMemorial
websitehttp://www.gtr5.com/).USS Libertywas identied as a US naval shipnine hours beore the attack by Israeli recon-naissance aircrat and continuously tracked
by Israeli radar and aircrat thereater. Sailingin international waters at less than ve knots,with no oensive armament, [the] ship wasnot a military threat to anyone.
Thirty our Americans were killed in the attack and
another 174 were wounded.
For 40 years, survivors o the USS Liberty havebeen orbidden to tell their story under oath to theAmerican public. The cover-up o Israels attack on the
USS Liberty, begun under the Johnson administration,continues to this day.
What have successive U.S. administrations been
covering up?On the morning o June 8, the USS Liberty, sailinga ew miles o El Arish in Israel, was secretly listening
in on the Israelis who were then attacking Arab air bases
rom Damascus in Syria to Luor in Egypt. The Israelis
-
8/3/2019 911 Unveiled p63

had occupied the Jordanian section o Jerusalem, and
captured Sharm al-Sheikh.
And while the USS Liberty eavesdropped (Bamord,Body o Secrets):
a scant dozen or so miles away, Israeli sol-diers were butchering civilians and boundprisoners by the hundreds, a act that theentire Israeli army leadership knew about
and condoned, according to the armys ownhistorian. . . .
At the time, Israel was loudly proclaim-ingto the United States, to the UnitedNations, and to the worldthat it was thevictim o Egyptian aggression . . . Israels
commanders would not have wanted taperecordings o evidence o the slaughters to
wind up on desks at the White House, theUN, or the Washington Post.
The pattern set in 1967covering up or Israeli ag-
gression, has been a major contributor to U.S. problems
in the Middle East.
Cuba
Following the ailed, Bay o Pigs invasion o Cuba on
April 17, 1961, by 1,300 members o a CIA-supported
counterrevolutionary Cuban eile orce, the U.S. Joint
Chies o Sta (JCS) drew up and approved plans or
launching a secret and bloody war o terrorism against
their own country in order to trick the American publicinto supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to
launch against Cuba.
Bamord writes:
-
8/3/2019 911 Unveiled p63
24/87
149/11 Unveiled
Codenamed Operation Northwoods, theplan . . . called or innocent people to beshot on American streets; or boats carry-ing reugees feeing Cuba to be sunk on thehigh seas; or a wave o violent terrorism tobe launched in Washington, D.C., Miami,and elsewhere. People would be ramedor bombings they did not commit; planes
would be hijacked. Using phony evidence,all o it would be blamed on Castro, thusgiving Lemnitzer [Chairman JCS] and hiscabal the ecuse, as well as the public andinternational backing, they needed to launchtheir war.
Accidents, writes Bamord, were to be used to ad-vance U.S. interests. Had the February 20, 1962 launch
o John Glennthe rst American to orbit the earth,
later a U.S. presidential candidatenot been success-
ul, the JCS were prepared to use John Glenns possible
death as a pretet or war.
The fight was to carry the banner o Ameri-cas virtues o truth, reedom, and democracyinto orbit high over the planet. But Lem-nitzer and his Chies had a dierent idea.They proposed to Lansdale [U.S. generalin charge o Operation Mongoosecovert
operations against Cuba] that, should therocket eplode and kill Glenn, the objec-tive is to provide irrevocable proo that . .. the ault lies with the Communists et alCuba [sic]. This would be accomplished,Lemnitzer continued, by manuacturing

various pieces o evidence which wouldprove electronic intererence on the part othe Cubans.
In 1963, writes Bamord, the JCS proposed secretU.S. attacks on Jamaica and Trinidad-Tobago.
Both were members o the British Com-monwealth; thus, by secretly attackingthem and then alsely blaming Cuba, the
United States could lure England into thewar against Castro.
Vietnam
On August 5, 1964, President Johnson announcedretaliatory attacks on Vietnamese targets alleging that
the Democratic Republic o Vietnam had attacked twoAmerican destroyers on routine patrol in the Gul o
Tonkinthe USSMaddoxand the USS Turner Joy.TheMaddoxwas in act gathering intelligence or
coordinated attacks on North Vietnam by the South
Vietnamese navy and the Laotian air orce (Fairness &
Accuracy in Reporting, July 27, 1994).In 2005, an NSA declassied report revealed that
the USSMaddoxrst red warning shots on the August2 incident and that there may not have been any North
Vietnamese boats at the August 4 incident (R. J. Han-yok, Cryptologic Quarterly, February 24, 1998).
In 1965, Lyndon Johnson commented: For all Iknow, our Navy was shooting at whales out there.
The Viet Nam war led to 58,217 American deaths,
and as many as two million Vietnamese casualties.

Diego Garcia
John Pilgers documentary, Stealing a Nation,
describes how in the 1960s, as Britain was dismantling
its colonies, the U.S. conspired with Britain to receive
secretly, gratis, and or 50 years, the Chagos Archipelago.Between 1965 and 1973, to clear the largest island
in the archipelago, Diego Garcia, or a listening post
or the U.S. National Security Administration, every
man, woman, and child was physically removed rom
the islands, and placed bewildered and rightened, on
the islands o Mauritius and Seychelles.At rst, the islanders were tricked and in-timidated into leaving; those who had goneto Mauritius or urgent medical treatment
were prevented rom returning. As the Americans began to arrive and build thebase, Sir Bruce Greatbatch, the governor othe Seychelles, who had been put in chargeo the sanitizing, ordered all the pet dogson Diego Garcia to be killed. Almost 1,000
pets were rounded up and gassed, usingthe ehaust umes rom American militaryvehicles. . . .
The islanders took this as a warning; andthe remaining population were loaded onto ships, allowed to take only one suitcase.
Recently, David Vine revealed (Foreign Policy inFocus, April 3, 2008) that this
huge U.S. air and naval base has been a ma-jor, i little known, launch pad or the warsin Iraq and Aghanistan. . . .The island has

also been part o the CIAs secret renditionprogram or captured terrorist suspects.
Iraq
Dr. George Friedman, ounder o Stratordubbed
byBarronsas The Shadow CIA, wrote in AmericasSecret War that the United States had supported theShahs Iran in a war against Iraq in the 1970s, but ater
the Iranian revolution, the Americans were looking ora lever to control Iran.
Friedman added:The Carter administration wanted to mo-tivate Saddam to ght, but he had little togain simply by ghting Iran. . . . He was .
. . quietly assured by the United States thatit would have no objection to his claiminghis prizeKuwaitonce he deeated Iran.
In a July 25, 1990 meeting with U.S. ambassador
April Glaspie, Saddam Hussein was inormed, We
have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conficts, like your
border disagreement with Kuwait. Meanwhile, the U.S.encouraged Kuwait to continue its slant drilling into
Iraqi oil elds. On August 2, 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait.
A high point o the public relations campaign to
justiy war against Iraq, was the testimony o a Kuwaitireugee, beore the Congressional Human Rights Caucus
on October 15, 1990, who told o Iraqi troops removingover 300 babies rom incubators in Kuwait City hospital,
and dumping them on the foor to die.

Former National Security Advisor to President
Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, wrote (The Grand Chess-board, 1997):
A power that dominates Eurasia [the terri-tory east o Germany and Poland, stretchingall the way through Russia and China tothe Pacic Oceanincluding the Middle
East and most o the Indian subcontinent]would control two o the worlds three mostadvanced and economically productiveregions. A mere glance at the map also sug-gests that control over Eurasia would almostautomatically entail Aricas subordination,

worlds physical wealth is there as well,both in its enterprises and underneath itssoil. Eurasia accounts or 60 per cent o the
worlds GNP and about three-ourths o the
worlds known energy resources.The key to controlling Eurasia, says Brzezinski, is
controlling the Central Asian Republics.
The United States is pitted in this struggle against
Russia, China, and Iran, all competing to dominate the
Caspian region, its resources and pipeline routes (Lutz

No hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11FBI
Bin Laden is the prime suspect in the September11 attacks, said President Bush on September 17, 2001,
and pledged to capture him dead or alive.
Bin Laden, in a September 28, 2001 interview with
the Pakistani newspaper Ummat, is reported to have said:I have already said that I am not involved
in the 11 September attacks in the UnitedStates. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoidtelling a lie. I had no knowledge o theseattacks, nor do I consider the killing o in-
nocent women, children and other humansas an appreciable act. Islam strictly orbidscausing harm to innocent women, childrenand other people. Such a practice is orbid-den even in the course o a battle.

In a radio interview with Kevin Barrett, Pro. BruceLawrence, editor oMessages to the World: The Statementso Osama bin Laden, called the video bogus.
As o July 2008, the FBIsMost Wanted Terroristswebpage makes no reerence to Bin Laden being wanted or
the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon.
The FBI states:Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection
with the August 7, 1998, bombings o theUnited States Embassies in Dar es Salaam,Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attackskilled over 200 people. In addition, BinLaden is a suspect in other terrorist attacksthroughout the world.
When asked why is there no mention o 9/11 on
the FBIs web page, Re Tomb, the FBIs Chie o Inves-tigative Publicity, is reported to have said, The reason
why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Ladens Most
Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence
connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.
In the months leading up to September 11, 2001,
the Taliban outlined various ways bin Laden could bedealt with. He could be turned over to the EU, killed
by the Taliban, or made available as a target or Cruise
missiles (Aleander Cockburn and Jerey St. Clair,
CounterPunch, November 1, 2004).

On September 20, 2001 the Taliban oered to hand
Osama bin Laden to a neutral Islamic country or trial
i the US presented them with evidence that he was
responsible or the 9/11 attacks. The US rejected the
oer (George Monbiot, Guardian, November 11 2003).The Bush administration said yesterday, reported
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer(September 24, 2001), thatit would release evidence that Saudi ugitive Osama bin
Laden masterminded the attacks on 9/11.I am absolutely convinced that the al-Qaidanetwork, which he heads, was responsible orthis attack, Secretary o State Colin Powellsaid on NBCsMeet the Press.
Powell said the government would put
beore the world, the American people, apersuasive case that ... it is al-Qaida, led byOsama bin Laden, who has been respon-sible.
The Bush administrations case, Powells case, has
yet to be put beore the world.
On March 29, 2006, on The Tony Snow Show, VicePresident Dick Cheney stated: So weve never made

Aircrat collision, and the resulting fre, did not causethe twin towers to collapse
Two World Trade Center, the South Tower, col-
lapsed at 9:59 a.m. One World Trade Center, the North
Tower, collapsed at 10:28 a.m. At 10:03 a.m., CNN re-
ported: THIRD ExPLOSION SHATTERS WORLDTRADE CENTER IN NEW YORK. At 10:06 a.m.,
CNN reported: THIRD ExPLOSION COLLAPSES
WORLD TRADE CENTER IN NEW YORK.
According to U.S. government reports, aircrat im-
pact would not have caused the Twin Towers to collapse.
The National Institute o Standards and Technology(NIST), the U.S. government agency responsible or
analyzing the collapse o the Twin Towers, included amemo dated February 3, 1964 in Appendi A o their
report Baseline Structural Perormance and Aircrat ImpactDamage Analysis o the World Trade Center Towers(April
26, 2006) that states:The buildings have been investigated andound to be sae in an assumed collision

indicates that such collision would resultonly in local damage which would not causecollapse or substantial damage to the build-ing and would not endanger the lives andsaety o occupants not in the immediatearea o impact.
The memo urther states:The structural analysis carried out by the
irm o Worthington, Skilling, Helle &Jackson is the most complete and detailedo any ever made or any building structure.
Eecutive Summary, Table E-8 o the NIST report
estimates aircrat impact speeds at 443 mph plus or
minus 30 or AA 11 (WTC 1), and 542 mph plus or
minus 24 or UAL 175 (WTC 2).The Boeing 767s that hit the North and South Tow-
ers were slightly heavier than a Boeing 707. Calculations
show that they would have caused less damage than
the Boeing 707 travelling at 600 mph in Worthington,
Skilling, Helle & Jacksons structural analysis (Grin,
Debunking 9/11 Debunking, p146) .Eecutive Summary, Finding 18 states: the tower
still had reserve capacity ater losing a number o col-
umns and foor segments due to aircrat impact.
Despite the preceding statements, in an August 30,
2006 Fact Sheet, NIST stated:
NIST concluded that the WTC towers col-lapsed because: (1) the impact o the planessevered and damaged support columns,dislodged reproong insulation coatingthe steel foor trusses and steel columns, and

widely dispersed jet uel over multiple foors;and (2) the subsequent unusually large jet-uel ignited multi-foor res (which reachedtemperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Cel-sius) signicantly weakened the foors andcolumns with dislodged reproong to thepoint where foors sagged and pulled inwardon the perimeter columns. This led to the
inward bowing o the perimeter columnsand ailure o the south ace o WTC 1 andthe east ace o WTC 2, initiating the col-lapse o each o the towers.
NISTs evidence and conclusions are challenged by
other eperts, and NIST appears to concede to their
criticism.Thomas Eager, proessor o materials engineering at
MIT, who contributed to the ocial account o 9/11
says the impact o the airplanes would not have been
signicant.
Kevin Ryan, a division director who was terminated
by Underwriters Laboratories or challenging the NISTanalysis, wrote:
O course, those o us who have actu-ally ollowed NISTs investigation knowthat they could not produce any robustcriteria to establish that reproong was
lost through orces o vibration. Instead,NIST perormed a shotgun test to see i thereproong could have been lost throughshearing orces.
The shotgun test not only ailed to sup-

port NISTs predetermined conclusions, aswas the case or all o their other physicaltests, but it actually proved that the re-proong could not have been sheared obecause too much energy would be needed.
The Twin Towers had 240 perimeter columns, and
47 massive, bo columns in the core. NISTs damage
assessment or the towers was as ollows (Grin, De-
bunking 9/11 Debunking, p146):North Tower: 35 eterior columns severed, 2
heavily damaged; 6 core columns severed, 3 heavilydamaged; 43 o 47 core columns stripped o insula-tion on one or more foors.
South Tower: 33 eterior columns severed, 1
heavily damaged; 10 core columns severed, 1 heavilydamaged; 39 o 47 core columns stripped o insula-tion on one or more foors.
Engineering News-Record eplained in 1964:one could cut away all the rst story columnson one side o the building, and part way
rom the corners o the perpendicular sides,and the building could still withstand designlive loads, and a 100 mph wind orce romany direction.
To make the Commissions theory appear plausible,
The 9/11 Commission Reportclaims (541), alsely, that
the core o the towers was a hollow steel shat.In response to an April 12, 2007 Request or
Correction, NISTs Catherine S. Fletcher, Chie,
Management and Organization Division, appears to
concedeat least partiallyto the critics.

In her letter dated September 27, 2007, she states:NIST Computer Simulations: NIST hasused an etensive database o photographicand video evidence to validate the modelsused to analyze the behavior o the towersup to the point o initiation o collapse. . . .
The WTC Steel Temperature: WhileNIST did not nd evidence that any o
the recovered core columns eperiencedtemperatures in ecess o 250 C, it is notpossible to etrapolate rom such a smallsample size to state that none o the corecolumns on the re aected foors reachedtemperatures in ecess o 250 C. . . .
The Goal o the WTC Report and ItsOverall Analysis: NIST has stated that it didnot analyze the collapse o the towers. NISTcarried its analysis to the point where thebuildings reached global instability. . . . we
were unable to provide a ull eplanation o
the total collapse.NISTs analysis ends with the initiation o col-
lapse. NIST admits that it did not analyze the collapse
o the towers.
In room res (Dr. Vytenis Babrauskas, 2006)the maimum value which is airly regularly
ound . . . turns out to be around 1200C,although a typical post-fashover room rewill more commonly be 900~1000C. Thetime-temperature curve or the standardre endurance test, ASTM E 119 goes upto 1260C, but this is reached only in 8 hr.

NIST also admits that physical evidence does not
support their conclusion o re temperatures as high as
1,000 degrees Celsius. In the samples taken rom the site,
theres no evidence that any core column eperienced
temperatures in ecess o 250 C.Since steel loses 50% strength at 650 C, and melts
at 1500 C, i one were to assumeor the sake o ar-
gument onlythat the re was large enough, the re
was neither hot enough, nor long-lasting enough (major
res lasted less than15 minutes), to signicantly weaken
the towers
Richard Gage, ounder o Architects and Engineers
or 9/11 Truthwith 400-plus members, makes the
ollowing points regarding the NIST report:The destruction occurred with rapid onset, at
virtually ree-all speed, and with radial symmetry.One hundred eighteen rst responders described
hearing, seeing and eeling eplosions and seeingfashes o light at the onset o destruction.
The concrete foors were almost completely
pulverized into dust and gravel.The structural steel ramework was largely dis-
membered into shippable lengths. Much o it washurled outside the Twin Towers perimeters, someas ar as 500 eet away.
Tons o molten metal were seen by FDNY and
others, and was described as fowing like lava orweeks ater 9/11, yet its eistence was denied byNIST.

by-product, ound on the columns and beams, previ-ously molten metal, and iron-rich micro-spheres inthe dust by Dr. Steven Jones (and corroborated bythe U.S. Geological Survey, but never eplained).
These eatures are characteristic o controlled de-

And eplosions were reported on television news.MSNBC Reporter: At 10:30 I tried to leave
the building, but as soon as I got outside, Isaw [sic] the second eplosion, an anotherrumble, and more dust. I ran inside thebuilding . . . and then a re marshall camein and said we had to leave because i there

Since the orce eerted by the impact o the aircrat
was within the Twin Towers design criteria, and the res
were neither hot enough, large enough, nor long-lasting
enough to have caused the collapse, there had to have
been another source o energy to cause collapse.Leslie Robertson, structural engineer responsible
or the design o the World Trade Center, is reported
to have said at the National Conerence o Structural
Engineers on October 5, 2001: As o 21 days ater the
attack, the res were still burning, and molten steel was
still running.
In their investigation, both the 9/11 Commission
and NIST, ignored testimony and evidence not consis-
tent with their collapse theory.
NIST says (FAQ, August 30, 2006):The condition o the steel in the wreckageo the WTC towers (i.e., whether it was ina molten state or not) was irrelevant to theinvestigation o the collapse since it doesnot provide any conclusive inormation on
the condition o the steel when the WTCtowers were standing.
The molten steel may not provide any conclusive
inormation on the condition o the steel when the
WTC towers were standing, but it is very relevant to
the evaluation o hypotheses o why the towers collapsed.
The steel at the bottom o the debris pile did not spon-taneously get hot and melt ater collapse.
NIST did not evaluate the use o eplosives.
NIST rejects the pancake theory or the collapse
(August 30, 2006 Fact Sheet) popular in some circles,
-
8/3/2019 911 Unveiled p63
46/87
369/11 Unveiled
but NIST lead investigator Shyam Sunder contradicts
NIST.
Sunder says that the squibs (pus or jets o smoke
and dust caused by the detonation o eplosives) seen in
videos o the collapse are caused by the foor pancaking(Popular Mechanics, March 2007).
In September 2006, Mete Sozen and Christoph M.
Homann, proessors at Purdue University, claimed to
have an answer.
Sozen and Homan concluded thatthe weight o the uel acted like a fash foodo faming liquid, knocking out essentialstructural columns within the building andremoving reproong insulation rom other
support structures.These researchers simulated the top 20 stories or
3/4 seconds real-time. Their simulation, like NISTs,
says nothing about the collapse itselit stops at the
initiation o collapse.
By etrapolation, a simulation o the 102 real-time
minutes rom impact to collapsewhich would have tomake many arguable assumptionscould take 652,800hours or about 75 years.
Even though the criminal code requires that crime
scene evidence be kept or orensic analysis. FEMA had
steel recovered rom the building rubble destroyed or
shipped to India and China beore it could be eaminedor traces o eplosives (sourcewatch.org).
A paper by Niels H. Harrit and others (The OpenChemical Physics Journal) has conrmed the presenceo thermitic material in dust samples rom the WTC.

such terrible loss o lie, maybe the smartestthing to do is pull it. And they made thedecision to pull and we watched the build-ing collapse.
I Building 7 was pulleda demolition term,
when were the eplosives planted? This would have had
to be done several weeks beore 9/11it takes that longto place and wire the eplosives.
Who had access to the building or a period long
enough to plant eplosives while bypassing the build-
ings security?

Securacom, now Stratesec, was in charge o security
or the World Trade Center. During the time that a
new security system was being installed, the presidents
brother, Marvin Bush, was a director o Securacom.
The collapse o Building 7 is unprecedented.No steel-rame, high-rise building has collapsed
rom re, either beore September 11, 2001 or ater
September 11, 2001.
On February 23, 1991, a 38-story tower in Phila-
delphia burned or 18 hours; on October 17, 2004,
a 56-story tower in Caracas burned or 17 hours; on
February 12, 2005, a 32-story tower in Madrid burned
or 24 hours; on February 19, 2009, Beijings newest
skyscraper burned or 6 hours.
None o these collapsed like World Trade Center
buildings 1, 2, and 7. Why then should we believe that
on September 11, 2001, three steel-ramed, high-risebuildings collapsed rom re?
Following the inconclusive, FEMA investigation o
May 2002, the ree press ignored the issue.
On August 21, 2008, Shyam Sunder, lead inves-
tigator at NIST, presented NISTs ndings at a press
brieng. A drat Final Report on the Collapse o WorldTrade Center Building 7was made available on the In-ternet later in the day.
Video and photographic evidence combined with
detailed computer simulations show that neither e-
plosives nor uel oil res played a role in the collapse o
WTC 7, Sunder said.NIST claims that the collapse was due to some
structural damage to the southwest perimeter by alling

debris, and to ordinary building content res on foors
7 through 9, and 11 through 13. This caused buckling
o a critical interior column, ollowed by progressive
collapse.
Engineers routinely design structures to withstandepansion o steel members. Sunder did not eplain why
similar building res, either beore 9/11 or ater 9/11,
did not cause buildings to collapse like Building 7.
The photographic evidence regarding res is helpul,
and it does show some damage to WTC 7. However,
NIST admits:Although the visual evidence or WTC 7 wasnot nearly as rich as or WTC 1 and WTC2, the re simulation did eploit as much
as possible the ew photographs showingthe location o severe re activity in WTC7 at various time during the aternoon oSeptember 11, 2001.
Computer simulation, without satisactory vali-
dation o the model, proves nothingthose sumo
wrestlers transorming into an airplane taking o, inthe United Airlines commercial broadcast during the
Beijing Olymics, were computer simulations.
Model validationa crucial step in the modeling
processrequires that inerences made in establishing
the model are checked by observing i the model behaves
as epected (Simulation and Modeling, Prentice Hall,1969).
In the NIST reports we were unable to nd NISTs
model validation criteria, the results o model valida-
tion tests, and discussion o other instances where the

models used by NIST (LS-DYNAa general purpose
transient dynamic nite element programdeveloped
by Livermore Sotware Technology Corp, and ANSYS),
had been successully applied to similar problems, or
how the NIST model behaved with other disturbances.NIST writes that damage criteria required adjust-
ment to obtain the appropriate strength and ductility
o the structures (p542), and damage estimated by
ANSYS was input to the LS-DYNA model as the nal
step beore analyzing the structural response (p565).
This sounds like NIST adjusted model inputs to
obtain the outputs it desired.
Others dispute Sunders claim that eplosives played
no role, and videos appear to show eplosions. Build-
ings that have collapsed without eplosives do not come
straight down on their own ootprint. Forensic evidence
rom the structural steel is necessary to rule out the useo eplosives in WTC 7.
Absent satisactory answers to these issues, one can-
not have condence in the NIST computer simulation.
Architects & Engineers or 9/11 Truth argue that
NIST does not address why the collapse ehibits none
o the characteristics o destruction by re, such as slow
onset with large visible deormations that would cause
the building to all to the side most damaged by re.
NIST also does not address why the collapse does
ehibit all the characteristics o a classic controlled de-
molition with eplosives such as rapid onset o collapse,
sounds o eplosions at ground foor a ull second priorto collapse, symmetrical collapse through the path o
greatest resistance at nearly ree-all speed with the steel

it would have been highly unusual that a report such as

Collapse at near ree all speed not explained by governmentand university investigators
Achilles, the son o King Peleus o Thessaly and the
shape-changing nymph Thetis, is the central character
o Homers great poem, the Iliad. The Achilles heel is
named or the only part o the body o the Greek herothat was vulnerable.
Stretching the metaphor a bit, the collapse time,
i.e. the time rom the initiation o collapse to the total
collapse o One and Two World Trade Center, and 7
World Trade Center, is the Achilles heel o the ocial
9/11 conspiracy theory.The ocial theory is also vulnerable to the chal-
lenges outlined in the two previous sections.The National Institute o Standards and Technology
estimates (NIST FAQ, October 5, 2007)the elapsed times or the rst eterior panels
to strike the ground ater the collapse initiat-ed in each o the towers to be approimately11 seconds or WTC 1 and approimately9 seconds or WTC 2. These elapsed times
were based on: (1) precise timing o the ini-

tiation o collapse rom video evidence, and(2) ground motion (seismic) signals recordedat Palisades, N.Y.
NIST adds:signicant portions o the cores o bothbuildings (roughly 60 stories o WTC 1and 40 stories o WTC 2) are known tohave stood 15 to 25 seconds ater collapse
initiation beore they, too, began to collapse.Neither the duration o the seismic recordsnor video evidence . . . are reliable indicatorso the total time it took or each building tocollapse completely.
The 9/11 Commission Reportsimply states (p322):
the South Tower collapsed in ten seconds.These collapse times are close to that o a billiard
ball dropped rom the top o WTC 1 or 2. The time
is calculated using the equation taught in high school
physics classes:Distance = 0.5 x Acceleration x Time Squared.
Using this equation a billiard ball dropped romthe top o the 1368 eet tall WTC 1 or 2 would travel
1296 eet in 9 secondsit would reach the ground in
9.2 seconds (assuming acceleration due to gravity o 32
eet per second per second, and no wind resistance).
The towers collapse at near ree-all speed, due solely
to airplane impact and the resulting res, dees logic.Section 6.14.4 o NIST NCSTAR 1, NIST states:
the structure below the level o collapseinitiation oered minimal resistance tothe alling building mass at and above the
-

impact zone. The potential energy releasedby the downward movement o the largebuilding mass ar eceeded the capacity othe intact structure below to absorb thatenergy through energy o deormation.
NIST (a) oers no calculations to support this
theory, (b) does not eplain the symmetry o collapse,
and (c) does not eplain how alling building mass
retains enough energy to destroy the foors below.The building mass has to stay intact in order to
cause the structure below it to collapse.
But as we saw on television broadcasts, the concrete
foors o the Twin Towers eplodedinto dust, accord-
ing to many reportsas they came crashing down, and
steel beams were hurled outwards.For the sake o argument only, Pro. Kenneth L.
Kuttler assumed One World Trade Centers foors foat-
ing in the air which did not move till struck rom the
foors above. Even with this idealized problem, and
conservative saety actors in the buildings design, Kut-
tler calculated collapse times o more than 25 secondsdue to a gravity only collapse (Journal o 9/11 Studies,May 9, 2007).
This result, writes Kuttler is consistent with the
prediction o Gordon Ross in his analysis which con-
cluded that the all o the North Tower should have
been arrested with much o the lower portion o theTower standing.
O course, this is not what happened, and no ocial
eplanation o the collapse time has been oered.

Little evidence that Flight 93 ploughed into the ground atthe Pennsylvania crash site
Rare television ootage rom September 11, 2001
contradicts the generally accepted eplanation that
United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Penn-
sylvania at 10:03 a.m., 125 miles rom Washington,DC, ater our passengers attacked the hijackers in an
attempt to gain control o the airplane.
According to The 9/11 Commission Report, at 8:42United Airlines Flight 93 took o rom Newark, NJ,
bound or San Francisco. Its last normal contact with
the FAA was at 9:27.Around 9:28 the Cleveland, OH, controller heard
a radio transmission o unintelligible sounds o possiblescreaming or a struggle rom an unknown origin.
Other transmissions ollowed, and at 9:30 Ziad Jar-
rah, the alleged hijackera ragment o whose passport
was ound at the crash site(CNN, August 1, 2002),was heard saying, There is a bomb on board and are
going back to the airport, and to have our demands
[unintelligible]. Please remain quiet.
The FBI believes Jarrah, a Lebanese national, was

at the controls o United Airlines Flight 93, . . . U.S.
ocials believe the planes target was the White House.
CNN adds that Jarrah was stopped and questioned
in the United Arab Emirates in January 2001 at the re-
quest o the CIA, nearly nine months beore the attacks.At 10:01 another aircrat is reported to have wit-
nessed radical gyrations in what investigators believe
was the hijackers eort to deeat the passenger assault.
However, television ootage rom September 11,
2001 tells a dierent story.NBC Reporter: The debris here is spreadover a 3 to 4 mile radius which has now beencompletely sealed o, and is being treatedaccording to the FBI as a crime scene. This
is one o those cases where the pictures re-ally do tell the story . . . one o the mosthorriying aspects o this is how little debrisis visible . . . thats all you see, just a largecrater in the ground, and just tiny, tiny bitso debris . . . the investigators out there,

what amily members heard when the tran-script was rst played to them by the FBI
on April 2, 2002, and what the 9/11 Com-mission reported to have heard.
Popular accounts o Flight 93 mention several phone
calls describing the passengers struggle with the hijack-
ers, but this is contradicted by the FBI.
According to an FBI report presented as evidence in
the trial o Zacarias Moussaoui in 2006, Grin writes(Canadian, October 8, 2007):
there were only two cell phone calls romUnited 93, and they were made at 9:58,shortly beore the plane crashed, when it
was down to 5,000 eet. . . . (These two low-
altitude calls rom Flight 93 were, accordingto the FBI report, the only two cell phonecalls made rom all our fights).

Russert asked Cheney what was the mostdicult decision made during the courseo the day [September 11, 2001].
Well, I suppose the toughest decision was this question o whether or not wewould intercept incoming commercial air-crat, Cheney said, reerring to the decisionto order military jets to shoot down pas-senger planes that approached Washington.
Russert asked: And you decided . . .Cheney corrected Russert. We decided
to do it. He was reerring to himsel andBush.

There is yet another twist to the saga o Flight 93.

emergency landing Tuesday at ClevelandHopkins International Airport due toconcerns that it may have a bomb aboard,said Mayor Michael R. White. . . . Unitedidentied the plane as Flight 93.
However, in February 2006, Liz Foreman, whose
name was attached to the original story, stated thatan Associated Press bulletin, was postedon WCPO.com during the morning oSeptember 11, 2001. The story stated thatFlight 93 landed in Cleveland. This was nottrue. Once the AP issued a retraction a ew

Id rather not comment on that, replied Plaugher.
How did small pieces o the plane end up out
over the highway when the plane is reported to havedisintegrated inside the Pentagon ater it crossed thehighway? I it disintegrated outside the Pentagon why
is there nothing that looks like a Boeing 757 on the
Pentagon lawn? I it disintegrated either inside or outside

Honegger adds an intriguing statement:Multiple standard-issue, battery-operated

The Pentagon was attacked by bomb(s)at or around 9:32 a.m., possibly ollowed byan impact rom an airborne object signi-cantly smaller than Flight 77, a Boeing 757.
Fort Meyer Fire Department Unit 161 was reportedon re at the Pentagon at 9:38 a.m. (National Fire Protec-tion Association Journal, November 1, 2001).
Captain [Michael] Dena drove onto the heliport
and directed Foam Unit 331 to set up there, where Fort
Myer Unit 161 had established a hydrant water supply.
National Airports aircrat rescue reghters knockeddown the bulk o the re in the rst seven minutes ater

The hole in the Pentagon wallprior to the collapse
o the roois too small to accommodate a Boeing 757,

One photo rom the Pentagon crash site shows what
could be an engine part about 30 inches in diameteroutside the Pentagon. Another photo shows what could
be an engine part (its size is dicult to determine) inside
the Pentagon.
These parts, and other debris on the Pentagon lawn,
that could identiy Flight 77 have been withheld.
According to George Nelson, Colonel, USAF (ret.),
serial numbers on aircrat parts could conrm the planes
identity.
Col. Nelson writes:In all my years o direct and indirect par-ticipation, I never witnessed nor even heardo an aircrat loss, where the wreckage wasaccessible, that prevented investigators romnding enough hard evidence to positivelyidentiy the make, model, and specic regis-

Former Secretary o Transportation, that Vice President
Richard B. Cheney may have given a do not shoot order
to acilitate an attack on the Pentagon.
In response to a question by the Vice-Chairman o

Five video rames initially released by the Pentagon
raised more questions than they answeredno Boe-
ing 757 was visible. Videos released on May 16, 2006,
pursuant to a FOIA request by Judicial Watch, are as
inconclusive as the rst ve rames.Prosecution Trial Ehibits P200023 through

On September 12, 2001, the Washington Post
reported two phone calls rom Barbara Olson to herhusband Theodore Olson42nd Solicitor General o
the United States: She called rom the plane while it
was being hijacked, he said.The 9/11 Commission Reportstates these two calls
were made between 9:16 and 9:26.
However, ehibit P200054 contradicts the SolicitorGenerals account. It shows that Barbara Olson madeonly one unconnected callit lasted or 0 seconds.
Further doubt has been cast on the ocial account
o Flight 77 by Pilots or 9/11 Truth ounded by Robert
