The Mysteries of 9/11

 

The twin towers were designed to withstand being struck by an airplane. The design is compared to a house made of a deck of playing cards. Each level is independent of the other. Where the structure is impacted is where the damage is focused without damaging the levels below it. After studying the footage of the collapse of each tower you can easily identify violent ejections of small clouds of smoke continuously exploding from the building just stories below where the building is collapsing. In addition large amount of white smoke were spotted before the towers collapsed suggesting explosives had been placed on the base of the buildings. The time it took for the building to fall and the way the building fell into itself instead of falling over coincidentally resembles a controlled demolition.

             There are more than 15 different news stations that were at the World Trade Center shooting live as the building started to collapse. In almost every case as the buildings were collapsing "the reporters on camera described "explosions" going off as it was falling" (Everett 11). There are many different words they could have used to describe the sounds going off but a vast majority of the reporters used the word explosion. Do you still believe the airplanes brought down the twin towers? .

             A short while after the WTC was attacked, another flying object, said to be a Boeing 757, struck the Pentagon. "A Boeing 757 has a wingspan of 124 feet 10 inches, height of 44 feet 6 inches and a body width of 24 feet" (Jones 4). The damage reported at the Pentagon was a "single hole, no more than 16 feet in diameter" (Molé 8). On top of the hole that was caused by a Boeing 757 being nowhere close to big enough, there was no debris or wreckage at all of the Boeing 757 to prove that it was ever there. A firefighter on scene reported, "From my close-up inspection, there's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon" (Molé 8).
