Essays on 9/11

[En-US]

     September's 11th day has come again. Ten years. Ten years have past since the remarkable fall of the World Trade Center. I remember watching the news as if it all happened a year ago. Given the special anniversary, I decided to make this post.

     I spent this night gathering some material and compiling it after, of course, checking with opposite sources to come up with a conclusion. Here, I'll give you the free-will to make up your mind by yourself and disagree with me as much as you like. You're even allowed to clearly say that I'm wrong and swear at me. That will please me. The only one thing that will please me even more would be you helping me. No, I don't want you to say "good post". I want you to disagree, and prove me wrong so I can learn more and expand my mind. I am open to that, even though I'm a bit skeptical (therefore, in need of empirical evidence).
     I will not hit on the same subject over and over claiming it's a Conspiracy of the Satanic Evil Jewish Illuminati Kutulhu Fanclub. That's just stupid. I will also not talk much about the muslim, Al-Qaeda and neither about Osama bin Laden (to whom, I wish to dadicate another post).

The Motive

     The interest of every country on the middle-east is well known. USA just needed a mass approval to send their troops and rip off any economic resistance. The attacks also helped with the disappearance of US$1,5 trillion of lost fund accounts of the Pentagon.

The Evidences

We believe there is overwhelming evidence of obstruction of justice, and destruction of evidence voiced even by numerous 9/11 Commissioners themselves. Senator Cleland resigned from the Commission stating, "This investigation is now compromised."
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 921, which is the National Standard for Fire and Explosion Investigations, very clearly indicates in numerous sections that the possibility of explosives should have been thoroughly investigated.
So, why was the possibility of explosives, controlled demolition, or the use of "exotic accelerants" not thoroughly investigated, or even mentioned in the 9-11 Commission Report?

     The text above was taken from the description of the following video and there's no way someone could disagree with the will to investigate the whole story. I'm not from USA, but yet I care more for the lives of everyone who died there than their own government.

If you go to the NIST FAQ regarding the WTC episode, the only thing you'll read is about "conclusive evidences" which are never shown. And here is some interesting information shown there:

The subsequent unusually large jet-fuel ignited multi-floor fires (which reached temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius) significantly weakened the floors and columns.

     Yes, 1000°C is enough to weaken a steel bar, making it sucumble. Sucumble, not fall apart inwards. A much higher temperature would be required to melt the steel seen on the scrumbles.

NIST estimated the elapsed times for the first exterior panels to strike the ground after the collapse initiated in each of the towers to be approximately 11 seconds for WTC 1 and approximately 9 seconds for WTC 2.
Neither the duration of the seismic records nor video evidence  are reliable indicators of the total time it took for each building to collapse completely. 

     So they're basically saying you can't trust evidence, but you can trust estimatives. That's fine by me. Their own estimative helps the theory of the free fall. 9,22 seconds was the expected time.

The Damage

Specifically in NFPA 921 18.3.2 High Order Damage - "High-order damage is characterized by shattering of the structure, producing small, pulverized debris. Walls, roofs, and structural members are splintered or shattered, with the building completely demolished. Debris is thrown great distances, possibly hundreds of feet. High-order damage is the result of rapid rates of pressure rise." World Trade Center's 1, 2, and 7 all clearly met this definition; therefore they should have been thoroughly investigated and analyzed for explosives. Specifically, the use of "exotic accelerants" should have been investigated. In NFPA 921 19.2.4 -"Exotic Accelerants," three indicators were clearly met that should have led to a thorough investigation in to the possible use of "exotic accelerants," specifically as stated in the guideline, "Thermite mixtures."

     Another part of the text of the video above.
Through the scrumbles, the firemen found also molten steel and tiny metal spheres, which are shown on the next videos.

The Thermite

      As stated before, a temperature much higher than 1000°C would be necessary to melt steel. One possible way to accquire such temperature is by the use of thermite. Strangely, the NIST discarded this option saying it's not likely to have happened because it would be too hard, without giving any proof of an alternative way. The following video is one of the best I've ever seen regarding the subject. What a single engineer achieves in his backyard is really that hard to be done so that NIST would just ignore the possibility?

The Building 7

The original World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) was a 47-story office building located immediately to the north of the main World Trade Center (WTC) complex. Completed in 1987, it was built on top of an existing Con Edison substation and located on land owned by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

     WTC 7 doesn't get much attention and its collapse is still, in fact, not known by most people. It happened seven hours after WTC 1 fell. Seven hours. And, yet, the official report says the collapse was caused by fire that originated from the towers' debris. It is also said in NIST FAQ "the collapse of WTC 7 is the first known instance of a tall building brought down primarily by uncontrolled fires".

Final Thoughts

     I am lead to believe that this was no muslim attack. And I hate to think how this religion is seen as the source of evil and its followers are treated like animals. I am not religious and I hate fanatics. Fanatics of any kind, that includes united-stadians that want death to japanese for "attacking" Pearl Harbor and death to muslims for "attacking" the WTC. Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who can see this is all messed up. They are totally messed up.
     It is our duty to question everything that doesn't seem clear. And we must do it now, while we can, because soon-- I'm telling you, soon people will be put in jail for even considering the idea that 9/11 wasn't planned by muslims. Yes, you have heard this story before and it it is happening again.
