my name is brad and i'm a conservative republican last time i happen to come across a video on the internet about the world trade center collapse on september eleventh as a kind of demolition hobbyist i downloaded it and watched it the title was painful deceptions by a guy called schmidt the video made me angry i was determined to prove the maker of this video wrong i purchased d v d s about nine eleven from c b s and p b s nova including one made by the na dave brothers these were considered the official videos but after watching them carefully and research and thousands of websites and archives on the internet literally not sleeping for an entire week i realized that the official story not air kushan it's painful deceptions was unprovable unsubstantiated absolutely wrong what you're about to see is information you should already know our news reporters government and media should have made all this material available to every one of us ask yourself why you've never seen it on t on september eleventh we learned that four passenger planes were hijacked and taken radically off course within an hour to the plane to the steel towers of the world trade center creating fires bench dazed by the news the american public soon believed the fires in the towers had burned so hot they caused the steel frames of the buildings to give way a myth developed fed by official sources through the media to what the elder audience polarising painted just right for you start on the street itself the official story was born come out of nowhere and just praying right into the side of the twin tower exploding through the other side and then i witnessed both towers collapse one first and then the second mostly due to structural failure because the fire was just too attached the maid bled into the female report and was echoed by the experts it was the combination of the impact load doing great damage to the building followed by the fire the cost collapse the towers were built with skyscraper crashes in mind the airplane we were envisioning was the largest airplane of its time flying slowly and low lost in the fog we designed to go into take the impact of the boeing seven seven hitting the building at any location but the aircraft that hit the towers was a boeing seven sixty seven heavier than a seven zero seven fueled for a transcontinental flight and track seven seven sixty seven's that struck the towers were not in actuality maximally fueled or close to their maximum takeoff isolated pockets of fire two water lines to knock them down famous executive summary relays that much of the fuel in the planes jet create kerosene was consumed by the initial fireballs and the following few minutes of fire then tells us that the burning jet fuel spread between floors and ignited the buildings contents causing more fire and generating heat this was somehow enough to bring down the towers forty seven columns steel core two hundred thirty six exterior columns and thousands of steel trusses all at the same time watch the towers smoking in the aftermath of the plane strikes if you have ever tried to light a wood fire you will know that smoking logs tell you the fire is not burning successfully smoke is the sign of an oxygen starved fire the twin towers stood for over an hour smouldering but not flaming during that time thousands of people were evacuated by way of the stairwells others trapped by debris stood in the smoke filled windows and signaled for help in fact the towers did what they were built to do the building was the sawing to have a fully loaded seven zero seven crash into it that was the largest play at the time i believe that the building probably could sustain multiple impacts of jetliners speak to us this structure is the towers were built to withstand one hundred forty mile an hour gusts produced by winter storms anyone in them on a windy day could feel them swaying the single impact of a jetliner was no more of a the continued battering of a hurricane i just put my stuff away and also heard a loud crash and the building started shaking kind of moving like a wave new yorkers stunned one hour later when the first tower fell to the best of my knowledge the considerations of the fuel in the airplane in terms of a but explosion are a great fire was not considered now we we were not responsible for that aspect of the design imagine building expressly for airplane impact but never thinking of the fuel it burned twice as long as the fires of nine eleven without even a hint of a building collapse conservatory two thousand and five the windsor tower in madrid a skyscraper undergoing reconstruction sustained a twenty hour fire this is what was left a standing building strong enough to support a crane compare a twenty hour inferno to ninety minutes of smoke wire buildings made of steel strong light and flexible steel frames offer many advantages over wood and concrete especially where skyscrapers are concerned steel makes big buildings relatively light with tremendous load bearing capacity the upper floors won't crush the floors beneath them and steel holds up better to weather and fire most guys scrapers are built on steel or concrete frames which is a grid of columns and beams that goes all the way through the building the world trade center was different it was what forty seven columns made a four inch thick steel at the base thinning with increasing height the corps combined might with engine you attain anchoring the towers and allowing them to flex look at the size of this  two documentary why the towers fell p b s creates a video model once the crosses failed before as they were holding cascade down with a force to great to be withstood the result is what's called a progressive collapse as each four pancakes down on to the one below what remained standing the tall indestructible core widest p b s failed to explain t complete disappearance of the twin towers cores the official stories central thesis is based on heat temperatures high enough to weaken steel but people in the towers did not report such a neat think about it neither steel concrete nor glass can like an explosion it was a huge explosion kerry told me that he was here after the events that took place this morning he tried to get his men out as quickly as he could but he said that there was another explosion which took place and then an hour after that there was a nother explosion in hours here so according to his theory he thinks that there were actually devices that were planted in the building reports of bombs in the sudden there was a rolling explosion and we could see coming at us ball of flame stories high listen to the sound of a large explosion right before the south tower begins to fall widespread commercial use blast furnace is known as a controlled environment high temperatures are reached as oxygen is pumped into a closed space how and when does steel substance that is burned never become hotter than the temperature of the fire or heat applied to hydrocarbon fire reaches a maximal temperature of some twelve hundred degrees fahrenheit in a dirty or uncontrolled burn characterized by red orange grains red orange flames are what we saw on september eleventh even the fireball caused by the plane strike was read o a controlled burn falls between a dirty burn like a fireplace and a controlled environment and a blast furnace a controlled burn employs a regulated mix of air and fuel an example being your gas stove or the this is a kerosene heater designed for use in any ordinary house the heater runs on jet grade kerosene contained in this tanked made of steel the heater can operate all night and all day the kerosene fumes ignite and burn inside it never causing even the smallest part of this heater to weaken formel yet we were led to believe that these tremendous buildings framed in steel and surf totally collapsed from small scattered fires and ninety minutes of smoke mit engineering professor thomas speaker's two thousand and one paper is officially considered the academic standard for explaining the world trade center collapse in it he tells us that steel loses half its strength at six hundred fifty degrees celsius and that the fires that day did not get much hotter the news he stresses however that the fires did not burn evenly it was  on even temperatures that caused the steel to deform and some of the floors to fail the sprawling floors brought down the whole building while it was impossible for the fuel rich to fuse flame fire to burn at a temperature high enough to melt the steel its quick ignition and intense heat caused the steel to lose at least half its strength into the form causing buckling or crippling this weakening and defamation caused a few floors to fall while the weight of the stories above them crushed the floors below and initiating a domino collapse in plain language straight from m what do falling buildings look like right we're seeing typical implosions characterized by gutting a building's base and then pulling it into itself computer controlled sequencing fires the explosives in a rapid w now let's look at the collapse of the twin towers we are seeing xplosion rather than employ a first in demolition history a sequence from blow becomes a war is to breeze through the damage is not contained even the windows are blown from the neighborhood building what kind of energy  so much to be explained why did the south tower fall first when it was the second tower to be hit watch the top of tower two leaning out were about to topple then suddenly it disintegrates in mid air what causes this giant slab of steel and concrete to turn into dust before our  building itself the world trade center towers came down in approximately ten seconds seismic data from columbia university puts the north tower collapse at about eight seconds and the south tower at approximately ten lynn simpson the eighty ninth floor of the north tower describes the site and i saw you can trade center literally collapsed in upon itself floor by floor by floor and it took seconds for town and it was a massive building and it just panned ten seconds these are one hundred ten story buildings coming to earth that near free fall speed the rate at which an object drops through here the lower floors would need to give way completely as the floors above them fell can a person walk through a closed door as quickly and smoothly as one that is open a ten second collapse means be upper floors encountered nose distance from the undamaged floors beneath watched the demolition wave rushing straight down here the south tower is half its original height but wreckage from the upper collapse has not yet fallen this far are watching a demolition moving faster than gravity itself a building bursting into powder from top to bottom here the core of the north tower finally gives up seven hundred remaining feet of giant steel columns among the strongest ever erected a lot of force acts upon the core to make it all of a sudden disappear twin towers we must explain why these buildings given the particular way they were constructed came down as they did each building with the ordered by two hundred eighty seven he'll call it comes ran from the basement through the particular order the fact that the steel with life in the concrete and the buildings came down at nearly free fall speed and be explained only in terms of forces much more powerful than the combination of fire and gravity this is a pancake collapse why don't we see piles of floors and ground zero and paper blown everywhere wouldn't a pancake collapse have trapped the contents inside what do list paper all over new york if you were to drop a billiard ball from the top of the twin towers it would hit the ground in just over nine seconds the average time it took for the towers to fall helped by gravity and falling through the air the ballgame the calculation for a pancake collapse of one hundred ten stories with each floor pulverizing to get out of the way is ninety six seconds in the real world with the floors creating resistance how would a pancake instructor towers high above the ground but down in the lobby of the north tower marble facing flew off the walls the windows shattered all the glass blown out the lobby looked at the plane hit the lot like the plane hit the lobby what caused so much wreckage in the lobby william rodriguez the maintenance employee at the world trade center and the last human being to exit the tower describes a giant blast below his building and all the saw then we heard an explosion it was a huge explosion that came from under the my feet meaning that it came from the sublevels we  one beat three and then there was a huge explosion at the top of the building explosion explosion explosion i want i saw him he has all the skin pulled from under his armpits and missing pieces on his face an explosion deep down in the towers before the plane crashed ninety five stories above others live to report enormous explosions below fatalities construction workers philip monroe he was in north tower sub basement floor at the time of the first plane strike i go i come running out the door and everything the walls were down and i started running towards the parking lots there was a lot of smoke down there was a lot of people screaming people came when i was running up the ramp then ran underground to the south tower you know mean i know people that got killed in the base and i know people that got broken legs in there but and the basement people got reconstructive surgery because the wall explosion stalled elevators and failed entire floors what happened at the base of the towers just before they came down smoke appeared at street level watch the camera shake on its tripod as a large energy source rocks the ground nine seconds later i heard like an explosion and then a cracking type of noise and then it sounded like a freight train rumbling and picking up speed i looked up and i saw it coming down as i came out of the north tower everything started trembling under my feet like an earthquake the only thing i saw was a fire truck i ran towards the fire truck and slid right under when the building started to collapse right on top of the fire truck across the hudson river richard segal was filming an astonishing day the sound meter of richard's camera caught something very significant adjusted for the distance involved as sound travels more slowly than what we see the camera registered multiple explosions in the towers  let's look carefully at the collapse itself noticed the puffs of concrete issuing from the side of the building well ahead of the collapse way called squibs in demolition language these are actually charges firing visibly through the exterior as gravity pulls the building down well ahead of the collapse way shattering from the top and go both by banana peel clueless these were no ordinary impl the twin towers each consisted of three multi story buildings set on top of one another to sustain the weight of so many floors the sky lobbies had to be extra heavily reinforced watch a big squid coming from the sky that produces these huge scudding cauliflower like masses of slowly moving d is the term for low density debris clouds that sweep across land in even water in the wake of a volcanic eruption note the dust clouds pushing between the buildings and over the hudson river typical of plastics are volcanoes produce the same kind of fix cutting arusha and debris following a massive release of energy a huge internal explosion th surge left a blanket of dust on the streets of manhattan like a winter blizzard fine dust particles hung grainy in the air the towers were literally pulverized rendered into what kind of energy could transform a building from steel girders and concrete into millions of handfuls of super fine did the towers fall or did they drift to the ground in clouds of powder created in mid air with jet fuel fires and collapsing floors result in this otherworldly scene on the southern tip of manhattan surrounded by water huge retaining walls were built below the world trade center to hold back the ocean and hudson river the bath tub as it was called seven levels of parking garages maintenance rooms and the new jersey path train station after september eleventh the three foot thick slurry walls were found to have shifted up to eighteen inches inward one hundred ten floors but something happened in the sub basements to disrupt them all the collapse had gone down the track level so we had sixty seventy feet of wall totally unsupported what kind of force have dislodged so many stories deep underground physics professor steven jones of brigham young university published a twenty five page treatise on the collapse of the twin towers and building seven applying the laws of physics to the official story from an interview on c as we read in the femur report it says here and i put this in my paper of course the best hypothesis which is the only one they looked at the fire has only a low probability of occurrence there ok we got molten metal in the basements of all three buildings right and yet 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 of a high temperature explosives such as thermite thermite produces molten iron as a as an end product ok we appreciate your coming on what if i don't understand your theories i would professor jones barely got in his mention of thermite and incendiary used by the military there 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 this is thermite melting the engine of a car we know that open air fires can not burn hot enough to melt steel but metal had melted at the big of the towers the second product of pouring from the eighty first floor of the south tower  and white smoke appeared at the base of the building would this be aluminum oxide the byproduct of a thermite reaction appendix c of the femur report describes sulfur re surface of the structural steel sulphur used with thermite is called thermite producing even faster result let's look at what happens in the demolition industry taking down large structures requires preparation powerful explosives and heavy equipment are used in advance to weaken the foundation and bottom sections of a building before know explosives and gravity bring the rest of it down the words of his senior blaster we blow the basement all the columns in the basement then we crack it up at the top to get it started we go every other floor all the way down every explosive has a timer on it that's why it's controlled when the columns go each floor goes down and impacts the one below and keeps going here's what demolition expert with the use of delays we can control pretty much where the debris lands controlled vibration we control noise levels timing delays are the key to just about everything in our b where the underground explosions tended to blow out the twin towers basements followed by blasts heard inside the buildings of shaped charges slicing demolition pretty weakening usually takes place well in advance of the final blast but at the world trade center critical prep work might have had to occur in a very compressed time frame in the panic aftermath  these core columns were discovered after the collapse the angled cut occurs in exactly the manner that shaped charges slice through steel beams to control the way they fall  which through a series of bins cut at the same angle will tend to make the buildings shift over and walk let's look at the rubble of two one hundred ten story buildings brought to the ground in a seven story crater lie over a million tons of debris had to basements not been blown out where would the rubble have gone heaped on the ground ready to slide and still the art of controlled demolition kenny to dan rather to be honest with you we arrived on late monday night and went into action on tuesday morning and not told today did we get a full opportunity to work the entire site other than this part of and we were in a building in which we were trapped for about fifteen minutes and we set up headquarters at seventy five barclay street which was right there with the police commissioner the fire commissioner the head of emergency management and we were operating out of there when we were told that the world similarly larry silverstein new leaseholder of the world trade center seems to have stated that a decision was made to pull building seven by the end of the day the last structure to the world trade center complex let's hear mr silverstein's actual words delivered for our benefit in the two thousand and two p b s documentary america rebuilds their ever getting a call from the fire department commander telling me that they were not sure they're going to be able to contain had leveled the world trade center buildings four and five silverstein a commercial real estate tycoon with international political connections acquired a ninety nine year lease on the world trade center complex in the spring of two thousand and one throughout the summer he we worked the insurance policies on his property making sure that it was covered for acts of terrorism explicit in the lease agreement was silverstein's right to rebuild the complex if it were destroyed after nine eleven mr silverstein fought his insurers in court to obtain double his policy limits for the destruction of his property maintaining that the double hijacking constituted two disasters caused by terrorists not ju collected over eight billion dollars a magnificent return on his original fourteen million dollar investment my first reaction is to think about the families of those people the tragedy the bag with two of it  however i firmly believe that we should rebuild just in the last few seconds another building building number seven one of the believe in support of the world trade center towers collapsed world trade seven functioning as the command center for the complex housed giant diesel backup an oxygen system in the mayor's protected emergency bunker and office just for the cia secret service department of defense and securities and exchange commission and its other tenants were insurance companies broke s and banks no plane hit building seven but at five twenty p m on september eleventh it collapsed in a heap on the ground
