demolitions done in france would choose what we call the burn odds tech technique where they take out a couple floors worth the columns with hydraulics they took the columns out and they left the building the upper section building drop to full floors and when if impacts the lower section there's a very definitive observable chalk deceleration and the loss of the loss you're looking for a jolt that this thing if it actually comes down and hits you should be able to see the point at which they actually impact because it would actually slow down the motion of the fall and block it never slows down excel or rates the entire time and that was what was extremely significant i was very familiar with the twin towers elevator szish timbs i actually rode up a noun elevator shaft on a top of a car calling twelve hundred feet a minute and you could imagine the experience compromise it wouldn't be a problem once you gain access to the elevator shaft then a team of loading experts would have access to all the core columns and beams the rest could be accomplished at that point by just the right kind of explosives for  admission measurements have indicated that tower one collapsed in about eleven seconds and power to collapse in about nine seconds this is essentially the rate at which freefall would happen from what i what i understand the buildings actually exonerated as they came down meaning they were not getting resistance from these massive columns in the center of the core of this building core this building was very heavy your huge columns huge block accelerates straight down earth is picking up speed downward continually it doesn't slow down it just continues to gain speed the twin towers couldn't could not have come straight down through the thousands of tons of structural steel through the greatest resistance there are columns of steel around the exterior of the building and within the core all of which are there to prevent  the thing from falling down in so if even if something falls on it it's not going to mediately just go up up up up up like that floor by floor it's going to if it's going to collapse it's going to tough to take some time to weekend the structure below it this structure is capable of holding three to five times the weight and here it is falling through it with the resistance of only one third of its weight roughly ninety percent of the resistance has been removed and what's happening is the top section is not crushing down the lower section like a pile driver which is the picture of the mis basically is painting it's it's actually falling into material already been pulverized that's offering very little resistance it's just coming down through prepared for eyes material the buildings fall at a speed which can only occur if the structure has been removed the vertical structure structural connections not only had to fail nearly simultaneously but in sequential order i was shocked at the at how the buildings believing that the fires did drop the buildings the area below the damage zone where the planes flew in and where the fire was that area below that eighty or ninety stories eighty thousand tons of structur steel was not damaged in any way yet you stood there and watched it destroy itself wiping out floor by floor all two hundred eighty seven structural columns as if they didn't exist exposure it was a building collapse to me it sounded like it to me it sounded like an explosion there was another major explosion all of a sudden you hear explosion and you could see the building start to clash huge explosion that we all heard felt we could hear a rumble which was about five seconds long preceding the actual collapse and then when each of those towers collapsed i just took it because it was a huge explosion it appears right now the second world trade tower has just collapsed but i was about five blocks away where no explosions and then you heard from far away boom boom and you heard the boom boom boom boom boom and he goes how fast they go like firecrackers they're reporting exactly what i would expect you hearing boom boom boom boom boom waves of of of explosions going off not one massive big boom there are so many videos of witnesses from that day that report explosions there's radio transmissions from the afghan why we have the transcripts that were recorded you know back in two thousand and one of all these firefighters and first responders reporting explosions this testimon caused the presumption that there was a good chance explosive residue would be found and justified testing for it rather than the opposite to doesn't look like a collapse it's like a huge mushroom eating billowing kind of an event  that whole thing looks nothing like that building falling down it's a building being blown up that's what the physics shows and yet they refuse to consider the possibility the explosives or some other form of twelve hundred foot diameter debris field around each tower videos show multi ton steel sections of hundreds of individual steel pieces rejecting out of the towers at sixty miles an hour for a distance of six hundred near total destruction of both towers what does all this tell us about the forces of energies involved and the destruction the spread of debris and a large radius around each tower what we see is an outward explosion of material beyond the parameters of each footprint and this is not expected and it's not can grow it with the reports of our government debris that was shooting out for hundreds of feet in all directions seventy miles an hour leaving the a t o floor of the north tower and making a fairly level trajectory that to me is fairly alarming large well to turn beams these are coming out faster than hundred miles an hour the floors pancaking upon themselves would create gushes of air out the side but not the kind of explosive force that we saw that was through i beams across the street into the windows of other buildings the exaction of the materials out of the building the manner in which it fell the speed at which it fell exhibit all the signs of demolitions and the completeness of destruction down to their individual elements when the south tower was destroyed it first it looked like it was going to land in the street or take a building out next to it and then all of the sudden it disappears in this huge cloud of smoke four transformers in each substation that weighed over thirty thousand pounds the transformers would not explode on their own they were air cooled dry type transformers and yet after  larger portions of the building floors the decking the steel decking the concrete topping much larger remnants of what the structural components of this building was after all there was  hundred ten floors in each building and each floor plate was over an acre in size we have no explanation of how the concrete was pulverized it takes an enormous amount of energy and there's no concrete this very little hungry then its report on world trade center seven which came out in may of two thousand and two documents in appendix c steel that has been melted and even partially evaporated resembling swiss cheese what are we to make of this this was the size of steel that they used in the construction of tower seven they didn't use this particular kind of steel in towers one or towers two so that's why we know it's pedigree it was a surprise to me because it was so road and deformed and so we took it for analysis in the lab one section of steel was kept how it got to be in its present state was described by the new york times as perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation those parts where the entire half inch of the beam is of has gone entirely dissolved right through and so something happened to cause the steel to really stand then in some places to disappear entirely well it was attacked by what we determined was a liquid slag when we did the analysis we actually identified it is and i know a liquid containing iron sulfur and oxygen so jonathan barnett study which i thought was very well done and quite extensive is all documented by fema in penn dixie and their in their be pat report that was may of two thousand  unfortunately it was never used in the nist report and i'd like to know why i missed excluded the evidence of melting steel why is this not included why is this forensic evidence not being included in the report flowing molten metal iron or steel at extremely hot temperatures and john gross categorically denied their observations so that because their observations don't fit his preconceived notion he not only ignored evidence he denied  evidence there were reports of molten steel having been seen in the in the rubble pile of all three buildings and i knew that jet fuel which is essentially kerosene is not capable of melting steel nor iron kerosene or jet fuel burns at less than sixteen hundred degrees fahrenheit and molten steel needs at least twenty seven hundred degrees fahrenheit in order to melt there were sections of them that clearly showed melting they had  sections that within the way and there were actually holes through them and some of the ends were just melted away or even possibly evaporated away in an office fire you cannot generate enough heat to melt steel and yet we have evidence of iron in the microspheres in the rubble pile and the metal pouring out of the side of the tower that smelter we turned aluminum oxide into aluminum molten aluminum molten aluminum is silver it's not yellow it's silver it looks like mercury the yellow molten metal in ira the official explanation of what happened there was that the heat from the fire supposedly softened the steel and melted portions of it perhaps and thereby brought the buildings down well the second law of thermodynamics says just like water can only flow downhill when it's poured on the ground similarly heat can only move downhill but with he at downhill means from a region of higher temperature to region of lower temperature and the heat flowing uphill from a seven hundred fifty degree flame to a three thousand degree puddle of molten steel material can cause steel or iron oxide to turn into a mold metal is that a blast furnace and that's very different than when we had molten metal in the basements of all three buildings all scientists now reasonably agree that the fires were not sufficiently hot to melt the steel so what is this molten metal it's a direct evidence for the use  infinity are used by the military their might is a compound of iron oxide in aluminum which when ignited sustains an extreme heat reaction creating molten iron in just two seconds there might can reach temperatures over forty five hundred degrees fahrenheit quite enough to liquify steel we know that open air fires cannot burn hot enough to melt steel but metal had melted at the base of the towers in one piece i found a poor in the steel that had pure sulfur embedded in the poor which i thought was very strange and so that's when i really started looking for sulfur in and and finding it in more abundance in some of these phases in some of these phases there's a government theory that calcium calcium sulfate from the source of sulfur and that's wrong calcium sulfate cannot go undergo any kind of a chemical reaction that produces the element sulfur and we're not dealing with any kind of compound  makes the steel now to the lower temperature and if you do a search on google for raw thermite and building demolition you can find devices that have been fabricated and invented that used their might for building demolition something which can be used to destroy something by the meat and heat while an explosive is something which reacts acts with pressure it knocks things apart in the case of thermite cutting charges you would have heard far less noise since they are work by thermal heating melting of the steel rather than explosive cutting as r d x charges over flights detected with in ed cameras fourteen hundred degree fahrenheit hot spots on the surface of the ground zero and that being there for a week you know indicates that there was something very hot going on below the surface so thermite if it was present at the world trade center and created this molten metal that so many witnesses and photographic evidence shows what also explain potentially the fact that the fires could not be put out at ground zero the fires lasted for quite a while but most importantly they were deep within the pile where people would expect that the environment was oxygen star and thermite could explain this because it has it's own occident with and it's actually the metallic oxide that provides the occident to allow the incendiary thermite reaction to occur even under as much as six percent of the world trade center does consisted of tiny loosely molten iron spheres what does this tell us about the temperatures generated in the towers destruction when the diameter and their spherical and they're found in all of the dust blown out of the buildings during collapse no matter where in manhattan though that dust is picked up you must have had a much hotter heat source for you to get twenty seven hundred degrees fahrenheit in order to melt the iron to get these motors fears your heat source must be something like a chemical reaction and exit from a chemical reaction that reacts in the case of thermite reacts at forty five hundred degrees fahrenheit my contention based on finding thermite residue in the dust is that it happened before it didn't happen after in there in the fires that ensued in the rubble pile afterwards it's all the characteristics of the microspheres along with what i see in the attack of the the beams that were actually found tell me that thermite was involved in melting that those steel be and where does it come from in the dust we found what we characterize as on reacted to me to material in the shape of some very tiny red grape chips which have different provinces most importantly is this still acting some of them and in the reaction they produce which is the prime indication of  reaction and such a reaction can be used to destroy steel structures but we have found there's a modern version of the in the red material are aluminum iron oxide as well as silicon and carbon and the iron oxide appears in fasted grains practically hundred  in appears in tin plate about forty nanometers thick it is the small size of the particles involved in this material that can allow us to characterize it as nano thermite in ordinary thermite the particle size is much larger and hence ordinary sir might is an incendiary whereas as the particle size becomes smaller and smaller super thermite is sometimes called this red material contains also a significant amount of carbon and the formulation of nano thermite is described by national laboratory publications also implies the presence of carbon a very typically the organic is used with nano thermite in order to produce gas that is a very high pressure gas we do have descriptions from the the livermore national laboratory in particular of how they fabricated this material it contains fabricated it is is not so easy this is discussed in our paper in the open chemical physics journal published in april of two thousand and nine so far none of these papers have been refuted in the literature the scientific literature so that means they are unchallenged in the scientific sense they stand as an indictment really of the official story of nine eleven i've independently seen their mythic activity within two separate independent samples of world trade center just one of the things i'd like to stress about these chips is that they really shouldn't be there they're not  natural formed agglomeration of aluminum from the air craft or materials that were in the building and iron oxide that got knocked off it isn't just a haphazard bringing together of iron oxide and aluminum which is the basic components of thermite this is a material that is made up of nano sized particles that are all very uniform very symmetrical this cannot be paint does not have these exotic properties it's impossible there was had the exact or identical composition or very similar composition as the spheres that steve was finding in the dust samples they were also very similar to spheres found in thermite commercial thermi and found that it was not similar to the red great chip or the red layer of the red great chips so it wasn't the red great chips are not the primer paint that was used on the w t c steel this is material that is in the military use it really shouldn't be you don't need to be an engineer or an architect to see what happened those buildings  any honest investigator would be looking at this and looking for explosives and so forth honest investigation didn't go there that it would it would not look for explosives this is been the work of independent researchers not noticed so the preconceived notion of miss is that there's no evidence right slow serves and so there's no point in looking that is the most unscientific thing that you can possibly think of not to look that you don't expect to find evidence and in fact the evidence is overwhelming that these red great crystals are very high temperature incendiaries they state these conclusions for which there's virtually no evidence and then they you know are conclusions that can be drawn from the evidence the physical chemistry of everything that i wrote about is consistent with no other hypothesis and all the testimony of eyewitnesses all of the video evidence supports only control demolition as the could have been any other possible way that conclusion i come to based upon first of all my training my education particularly my experience in blowing up major structures that had been designed to withstand blast the experience that i had gained in the military and as an engineer was refutable i couldn't i couldn't come to any other conclusion except for the fact that those buildings were brought on by explosives they fit profile the only way that a building can accelerate as it collapses is by having pre engineered precisely timed and precisely placed explosives in other words control demolition it is my opinion as a for while probably combat engineer well trained in the use of explosives that this building all three buildings were brought down as controlled as a result of controlled demolitions we know we've been lied to about nine eleven we don't know for sure who did it we don't know exactly how they did everything and that's why we need a new investigation to find out we do know that there was a massive cover up that there was evidence hidden and destroyed the american people absolutely need the truth of nine eleven my thirty seven years of experience as a structural engineer i've never seen modes of failure such as a been exhibited in the case of these buildings and that's why i feel that we need a new independent investigation to explain the destruction of these three buildings it took some kind of consciousness raising on my part before i was willing to look at the possibilities and really you need to go for the evidence i would like to see  a real investigation i'd like to see i'd like to see people on the inside who really know what they're what happened i'd like to see some of those come out there are some very good scientists i'm sure  their life's work is getting distorted and used for political purposes so what i'm looking for is is a new investigation where all of the original information and tests hypotheses  reexamined as well as the ones that have surfaced since the new ones including the allegations of controlled demolition let's look at objectively let's look at the evidence not these fabricated computer models and hearsay and all these pre determined conclusions let's really open it up again and investigate this thing properly and then come to conclusions i strongly support a and pendent investigation that would be independent of the government independent of all of the influences that obviously were in effect during the next investigation me to have an investigation in this themselves i believe that the reports that came out are not true i believe there's a lot of in a lot of information that was a method blatantly or or otherwise and firefighters relevant truth that's what we're asking for as we're asking for an investigation that follows national standards three skyscrapers were taken down in a controlled demolition and all we're asking for is a new investigation and the also well investigate the dust for remaining explosives and we need the truth because our nation has invested so much in and the official story of nine eleven and  in terms of what we have assumed that is that has happened and we really can't go down the same road without knowing what actually happened what happened on nine eleven it's not something that is just going to go away this is very pertinent to us today i wish to further the investigation and i want to make a difference because i want this to be a safe and better place for my children to sign the petition on the architect and engineers nine eleven truth website mainly because i wanted to stand behind the families that lost people on nine eleven the nine eleven truth movement was started by the families that lost loved ones on that day and they were all out there alone screaming for help and our own country was ignoring them we have a professional responsibility my words every engineer and architect and demolitions expert and anybody that has any knowledge in this field to examine the evidence and stand up and become because the rest of the world is depending upon  most of us who have lived with the events of nine eleven have as a result experienced some kind of trauma it can be very difficult to come to terms with what actually happened at the world trade center in fact someone told me recently i wouldn't believe what you're telling me even if it were true our petition is saying hers with psychological expertise have stepped forward to offer their insight while this segment is clearly outside the knowledge base of the architects and engineers for nine eleven truth these experts in psychology highlight their valuable experience for us as to why this evidence can still be so difficult for people to accept as we know the horrors of what happened on nine eleven were televised all over the world and they were televised in fact lot we witnessed the deaths of almost three thousand of our fellow americans we know this had a very  severe and traumatic impact on a large majority of the population at this point we have nine years of hard scientific evidence that disproves that government theory about what happened on september eleventh and yet people continue to be either oblivious to the fact that this information exists or completely resistant to looking at this information so the question becomes why why is it that people have so much trouble hearing this information from my work i think we would be remiss not to look at the impact of trauma many people respond to these truths in a very deep way some have a visceral reaction like they've been punched in the stomach to begin to accept the possibility that the government was involved it's like opening pandora's box if you open the lid and peek in a little it's going to challenge some of your fundamental beliefs about the world if we can think of our worldview as being sort of our mental and emotional home i think all of us will do just about anything to defend our homes to defend our families and and so i see that with people and i saw that with myself and my brother tried to talk with me about it don't mess with me don't mess with my home don't mess with my comfort with how things are about a week later i read a lengthy article by professor griffen about why he believes the official account of nine eleven cannot be true and it was a very well researched article it was in my office at the time i sat there and i felt my stomach churning i thought maybe i was going to be sick and i leapt out of my chair and ran out the door and took a long walk around the block several blocks and just broke down i understand now that what was happening was my world view about my government being in some way my protector almost like a parent had been dashed and it was like being cast out into the wilderness i think is the closest way to describe the feeling and i saw  sobbed felt like the ground had completely disappeared beneath my feet and and i knew at some point during the walk that i knew that i was going to have to become active in educating other people about this that there was that for me to retain any sense of integrity i was going to have to take some action i couldn't just let something like this go when we hear information that contradicts our world view social psychologists call the resulting in security cognitive dissonance for example with nine eleven we have one cognition which is what the official story of nine eleven what our government told us what our media media repeated to us over and over that nineteen muslims attacked us on the other hand we have what scientists researchers architects engineers are now beginning to tell us which is that there is evidence that shows that the official story cannot be true so now we've lost our sense of security we are starting to feel vulnerable now we're confused nine eleven truth challenges the beliefs that our country protects us and keeps us safe and that america is the good guy when your beliefs are challenged fear and anxiety are created in response to that  psychological defenses kick in and they protect us from these emotions denial which is probably the most primitive psychological defense is the one most likely to kick in when our beliefs are challenged and it's a very very uncomfortable state to b n and eventually our minds shots of just like when a computer is overloaded our minds get overloaded we can handle it any more and we shut down some of us will tend to do is deny the evidence that's coming our way and stick to the original story the official story and to try to regain our it could be equilibrium in that way another thing we can do is decide to look at  conflicting evidence and be sincere and be open minded and look at both sides of the issue and then make up our own mind about what reality is here a few of those obs those spontaneous initial reactions to hearing the cut to dick tree evidence about nine eleven i don't want to know the truth or i become too negative and psychologically go downhill i'm not sure i want to know if this is true that up would be down and down would be my life would never be the same they think this is the way the world works and i'm i'm convinced this is the right way the world works nine eleven doesn't fit into that paradigm so i don't need to look at the evidence brann i refuse to believe that that many americans could be that satanically treasonous someone would have talked but  beliefs they are not scientific facts but these beliefs do keep us from looking at the empirical evidence whenever we say i refuse to believe we can be sure that the evidence that's coming our way is not comparable and that it's going it's conflicting with our world view much too much as i thought about all of these responses i realize that what is common to every one of them is the emotion of fear people are afraid of being ostracized they're afraid of being alienated they're afraid of being shunned they're afraid of their lives being inconvenienced they'd have to change their lives they're afraid of being confused they're afraid of psychological tear aeration they're afraid of feeling helpless and vulnerable and they're afraid that they won't be able to handle the feelings that are coming out none of us want to feel helpless and vulnerable healing comes through facing the truth experiencing it allowing the feelings to come in so that if there are feelings of fear that perhaps these events were caused by something we haven't thought about yet dark elements within our society for example we'll let that come in and explore and let the light shine and whatever happens this will be the most healing process the germans did this after their war the south africans did this after apartheid reconciliation through the truth is what  is a deep past to psychological recovery from the nissen lives around which this historic event has been cloaked in the official view one of the ways to deal with the trauma is to find the answers that's why i think it is such important to have a comprehensive investigation to work together to expose what happened regardless of where the evidence takes us that's what we expect in our state government law enforcement i think that by putting science together with the law we will have a psychological healing around the impossible cognition that has been produced on that day after world war two part of the way that jewish people honored the dead was by making sure that the truth was known and that the value of the people was respected not pursuing the truth about nine eleven disrespects the value of the life of the people that died thinking that we're above such things that it could happen in other countries but it couldn't happen here that's a lack of humility and that's excessive pride and so not being able to see our dark side or our weaknesses is the most dangerous thing a feature of american history that makes us truly liable to the pride is this notion that it's called exceptionalism that america is the exception no nation and than i began from the beginning have been this country was formed people would say well there was so much evil in the european countries so much cheating so much lying so much using the people for the rulers purposes but not in america we have leaders that are free from those sounds so i think this has made nine eleven particularly difficult for americans so we need to understand that questioning is is patriotic questioning is what we're supposed to do as citizens that's our duty one thing that has become important for me personally is to educate myself if you take responsibility investigation and to who the perpetrators are and then we need to be sure that those perpetrators are held legally accountable it's part of the healing process on the end of it as on the collective level we need the truth in order to he explosion what happened on september eleventh was the tragedy where he was on flight one seven fine and it crashed into the second tower and i can't imagine what happened to him my brother was my best friend david has always been a fire fighter my brother went in to save people's lives on a family member trying to find out the answers to the murder of three thousand plus people i'm jane policy no husband when he was killed on september eleventh i had no identification you know why is that it seems to me we should know why over a thousand victims there are no trace for and no identification no trace of over a thousand victims just a few years ago they're still finding body parts on the roofs of buildings what is that we should know why there are over seven hundred bone fragments found on the top of deutsche bank building less than a half an inch long we should have that information why were they up there why weren't they found what kind of explosion was there and the explosions were brought up many a times around the world scientists all around the world are questioning this that these towers could not have come there when you bring sides into the equation that's so important because you can't argue against s and there's some explaining to do the bottom line is that it needs to be investigated properly we will never heal this country it will never ever ever forget that day we have to demand a new investigation i want justice here the forensic evidence that you've seen is very real new life has been show the third being now reaches into the pitch black sky and stands in for the still officially unexplained freefall destruction of the
