destroyed just days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the
landmark 110-story towers, security personnel said. ...on Thursday
[September 6], bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed. [NY

Pre-9/11
World Trade Center Power-Down
On the weekend of 9/8, 9/9 there
was a 'power down' condition in WTC tower 2, the south tower. "Of
course without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on
doors and many, many 'engineers' coming in and out of the tower." [WingTV
Service
Elevator "Down"
The service elevator that ran to all the way to the top was
malfunctioning for at least a month (up until 9/11). A convenient "malfunctioning"? The elevator and its shaft would be
the
perfect route for transport and placing of explosives used to take down the tower.
Larry
A. Silverstein
A
real estate investor and operator and the head of
Silverstein Properties, a real
estate development group.
Silverstein was the leaseholder
of the World Trade Center towers that were destroyed in the
September 11, 2001 attacks.
Silverstein's $3.2 billion bid for the
lease to the World Trade Center was accepted on July 24, 2001, seven weeks
before the buildings were destroyed. This was the first time in the
building's 31-year history the complex had changed ownership.
Silverstein put up only $14 million of his own money
[1].
Silverstein was also given the right to rebuild the structures, should they
be destroyed.

In total, Silverstein was awarded nearly
$5 billion in insurance money following the destruction of the Twin Towers
[3].
"Pull
It"
In a September 2002 PBS documentary
called 'America Rebuilds,' Silverstein states, in reference to World Trade
Center Building 7, "I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department
commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to
contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe
the smartest thing to do is pull it. And they made that decision to pull and
we watched the building collapse." [Click on criminal above for PBS

"I
designed it for a 707 hit"
DETROIT, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Lee
Robertson, the project's structural engineer, addressed the problem of
terrorism on high-rises at a conference in Frankfurt, Germany, The WEEK
PRIOR TO 9/11
(!!!), Chicago engineer Joseph Burns: "I designed it for a (Boeing)707 to hit it."
UPI Report
Jet
Fuel Explodes outside of WTC Tower.
The official story was that the fires
were so hot that they weakened the steel beams -- they state it was the jet
fuel that caused such intense heat. However video from several angles
show that the fuel explodes outside the structure in an enormous fireball

Anatomy of a Controlled Demolition
"Top up" and "Top
down" procedure used to destroy the WTC
Video: Controlled
Demolition caught in action.
Below we can look at some important frames
[click photo at right for video].
Just
as Demolition begins....
Only a small fire burns where red arrow points.
Next,
a dark uniform cloud of billowing smoke is quickly and uniformly ejected out
of 80th floor on several sides.
This is most likely related to a powerful, more
central blast that is destroying the core support beams. Actually, the
blast smoke starts to exit in above snapshot, but its not as obvious.
A
few frames later
clouds larger
now with flames below.
The smoke clouds are becoming more pronounced and
still are quite uniform. To contrived to be anything by chance.
A few floors below there are several blasts with flames erupting around the
edges. The mast is seen dropping some, as the main support beams at
the 80th floor are being blown out. At about this time the flame
filled blasts begin on the exterior.
The
upper portion starts to collapse.
There was collapse of the main structure only AFTER
the smoke filled blast. It seems that the upper portion began to fall
in conjuction with the flaming eruptions. It appears that these blasts were
designed to destroy the outer wall beams of the WTC to facilitate the
destruction of its upper portion. Since the mast was first to fall
this would
indicate that there was actually a concave motion to the collapse.
This forces the structure to fall in on itself
a technique used
in controlled demolitions.
The
collapse continues as the blasts intensify.
Interestingly, the collapse, is disintegrating upward as it
it coming down
NOT downward and crushing as would be expected, if gravity induced.
This contradicts the "pancaking therory".
Further
disintegrating of upper portion.
The complete upper portion of the structure gets
pulverized in about a second. That is not possible with a gravity
fall. Note the expanding flames and intense blasting occurring under the
falling upper portion. The upper portion (above the 80th floor) of the WTC
was similar to a conventional demolitions operation
weaken the bottom and
bring it down on itself.
A
continuation.
Upper
demolition completed at this point.
As anyone can see, in very short order, only the mast
remains. Tones and tones of cement, masonry, ceramics, glass, office
equipment, furnishings, metal, and asbestos have been turned into a
pulverized dust and have been exhumed into a mushroom cloud in about 1
second. The amount of energy required to do that is beyond
comprehension -- and CANNOT be achieved by gravity alone.
Top
down demolition begins.
The lower portion (under the 80th floor) was brought
down with a different less utilized demolitions approach
having charges
set to race down the building
in a top down operation.
Charges
Race down WTC bypassing huge building sections.
The charges accelerate down the structure.
Interestingly the demolitions race by a huge piece of WTC building still
intact [Click on picture to watch in video]. The pancake theory
states (see below) that the preceding floor collapses onto the next and so
on...
If large portions of the WTC are seen hanging in thin
air [Another Angle (video)]
then how is it possible that the building is seen collapsing underneath it?
Isn't the "pancake" theory built around the "fact" that each floor is
dropping down on and destroying the next lower one -- how can floors be
skipped... in the "pancake" theory.
The
Government's WTC "Pancake" Theory
The official version of 9/11 in relation
to the collapse of the World Trade
Center twin towers maintains that after
the collapses of the buildings
initiated, the structure above the
collapse zone of each building (the
"caps") fell on the floor below, easily
destroying that floor's supports and
connections, before moving down to the
next, and so on in a chain reaction
until each tower was destroyed down to
the very pavement. This model includes
the seemingly plausible contention that
each failing floor added to the falling
mass and with each failed floor the
velocity of the collapse increased, and
hence the kinetic energy grew ever
larger and the buildings were doomed
from the start; "if one floor fails
(at the top) then they would all have to
fail". Obviously the "pancake
theory" is not based on physics.
