us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories a few minutes after an airplane crashed into the world trade center on september eleventh television shows were interrupted to provide us with news reports but these news reports were repeated over and over day after day without interruption and show it to you again we were told that osama was responsible and his photo was shown to us over and over but how could a few men defeat our air defense system and with four different airplanes we were told that fire caused the towers and a building seven to disintegrate show it to you again but fire had never caused a steel building to disintegrate before so how did fire do it to three buildings on september eleventh and why didn't they show the collapse of building seven over and over why were some events repeated endlessly while others were ignored well at least the f b i solved the crime within a few days and released the names and photos of the one thousand nine hundred yards unfortunately news reports were soon complaining that some of these hijackers were all by has this crime really been solved video of the plane crashing into the tower was repeated over and over but we never saw flight seventy seven crash into the pentagon because military officials said there were no photos or video of that event everybody had to guess how the plane hit the pentagon not surprisingly the early drawings turned  be incorrect such as this one from u s news and world report in which the airplane is diving towards the helicopter pad this computer simulation follows the official theory that flight seventy seven flew a few inches above the grass and crashed into the ground floor if you've ever tried to land an airplane you can understand the skill this pilot had in order to fly so close to the ground at four hundred m originally the f b i claimed the terrorist who flew this plane was an experienced pilot for a saudi arabian airline but they switched to an inexperienced pilot after discovering he was still alive in saudi arabia but even if he had experience how could anybody fly so low that he could knock down many street lights a couple of which fell on to automobiles how could anyone fly through this obstacle course the area around the pentagon is densely populated thousands of people should have heard and seen such a large plane flying close to the ground furthermore only military aircraft are allowed in this area so where are the thousands of witnesses and why did none of the military pilots protect the pentagon while most americans were demanding retaliation against osama a few people in cyberspace were complaining that something was strange about this attack and that we should not believe our government initially i did not understand what these conspiracy nuts were complaining about but by january i realized that the world trade center towers and building seven did not merely fall down for example virtually all of the concrete in the towers had been pulverized into dust i posted documents on the internet in which i explained that the towers appeared to have been destroyed with explosives meanwhile over in france amanda's name terry maisano was analyzing the odd aspects of the pentagon attack for example why isn't there debris from flight seventy seven on the grass perhaps a view from a helicopter will help us find pieces of flight seventy seven nothing here but bricks and a limestone what are those round objects oh just of cable those are not pieces of flight seventy seven either those people appear to be gathering small objects where are the large pieces of aircraft and the passengers and their luggage there's lots of rubble inside the pentagon but nothing that looks like luggage airline seats or airplane parts this dog was searching for people but there are no photos of it finding any of the passengers how could a dog not even find one small piece of sixty four passengers how could so many people vanish did this dog even pick up the scent of a human it's possible that somebody has photos that show pieces of flight seventy seven and it's possible that photographers avoided the luggage and dead passengers because they thought it would upset us however the commonly available photos and news reports do not provide any evidence that flight seventy seven hit the pentagon conclusion was that the military was lying about flight seventy seven crashing into the pentagon at the beginning of march two thousand and two news had reached american internet sites that mess on wrote a book to explain that he could not find any evidence of flight seventy seven in any of the photos or news reports masonic used the military of deceiving us about the attack he believed flight seventy seven never hit the pentagon rather a truck bomb had exploded in front of the building a few days later the military released by the images from a security camera in front of the pentagon these images show an object flying into the pentagon this put an end to the accusations that a truck bomb had exploded in front of the building unfortunately these images created two new problems first of all it proves they lied about not having video of flight seventy seven they have video but we can't see it second and more important nobody can find flight seventy seven in these video images military officials were correct that releasing those five frames of video would put an end to the accusations of a truck bomb but what they did not expect is that within minutes of those frames reaching the internet some of us started making accusations that a missile hit the pentagon if the complete video truly shows flight seventy seven crashing into the pentagon why doesn't the military release the entire video and put an end to these accusations that the attack was a scam why don't they prove their innocence months later maisano released another book they penned to gape to explain his newest accusation that some type of drone hit the pentagon the military was upset by his books but not upset enough to prove their innocence by releasing all security camera videos in september two thousand and two i further annoyed our government by releasing my book painful questions it provides evidence that both world trade center towers and building seven were demolished with explosives that were placed in the buildings before the attack i also show that many of the phone calls from the passengers appeared to be fake in order to deceive us into believing the airplanes had been hijacked by arabs i show that the terrorists were patsies in this incredible scam books like these are ridiculed as idiotic conspiracy theories by the majority of americans however as dave on close to the power hour radio show says the real conspiracy theory is that flight seventy seven hit the pentagon the reason is that there was not much evidence that flight seventy seven hit the pentagon let's take a look let's begin by looking at the five images from the pentagon security camera the first image shows flight seventy seven leaving a trail of white smoke only slightly above the ground the second image shows the plane crashing into the building and erupting into a giant bright fireball the third image and the following two images show the fireball becoming darker and larger while rising upward about twenty minutes later while firemen were spraying the fire that section of the building collapsed returning to the first image if flight seventy seven is leaving that trail of white smoke where is the airplane the roof of the pentagon reached seventy seven feet and the edge of the roof was almost seventy two feet flight seventy seven it was a boeing seven fifty seven it was one hundred fifty five feet long it was twice as long as the building is tall it was thirty seven feet from the top of the tail to the center of the exhaust from the bottom up of the engines to the top of the tail is more than half the height of the pentagon miss on and many others have tried to figure out where such a large plane could be hiding in this image the only hiding place is the rectangular post but the post is not large enough for a seven fifty seven to hide behind let's zoom in on that upper right corner these video images are low quality to begin with so magnifying them will create grainy images but despite the graininess can you see anything that resembles a boeing seven fifty seven we could settle this issue if the military would release all video from all security cameras so why don't they why the secrecy also notice that the time in the video is incorrect the military uses eirik timecode to identify events so they certainly know precisely when flight seventy seven hit the pentagon so why provide a false time the military announced they don't know why the time is incorrect but is our military really unaware of what is going on at their headquarters or are they hiding the timecode because it contradicts the official story what about the witnesses who saw flight seventy seven but out about it was american airlines plane brought into the building no doubt about it who is this guy and what did he really see how can anybody be certain about an aircraft flying close by at four hundred mph how did flight seventy seven get to the pentagon this is another suspicious aspect of the attack the plane vanished from air traffic controllers near ohio as shown by the question mark air traffic controllers immediately called for help less than an hour later and identified blip appears on the radar screen near the pentagon supposedly flight seventy seven traveled all the way from ohio to the pentagon without any of the air traffic controllers noticing its blip on the radar screen even though they were looking for it the air force did not notice this plane either even though the pentagon is off limits to aircraft if an aircraft as large as a seven fifty seven can travel hundreds of miles through american airspace without anybody noticing what good is our air defense system and our air traffic control system and consider that three other airplanes were also wandering around then consider that the planes entered restricted airspace a group of people without any military force could send commercial airplanes into america without anybody noticing and then they could drop bombs on us or crash the planes into the pentagon office buildings and military bases while it is unrealistic to expect people to pay attention to these boring radar screens after they realized that flight seventy seven disappeared they should have been able to locate it with their radar they had nearly an hour to find it it should also have shown up on air force radar furthermore how could the terrorists find the world trade center and the pentagon without assistance from the air traffic controllers this is the cockpit of a seven fifty seven how would they know where to fly would they use a compass and a map how would they see below the clouds none of the hijackers were good pilots according to the flight schools the person accused of flying into the pentagon was failing his courses at the arizona flight school but he continued to pay for training anyway the new york times quotes one employee he didn't care about the fact that he couldn't get through the course and how about this remark i'm still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the pentagon he could not fly at all the terrorists receive financial support from unknown people but why would those mistreat people not care that the terrorists were failing as pilots were the financial supporters really trying to train pilots or did they merely want the terrorists to obtain pilot licenses captain russ wittenberg was a pilot for the air force pan am and united airlines he flew both the seven fifty seven and the seven sixty seven airplanes that were hijacked on september eleventh so he knows how much practice is needed to fly those planes he is one of several pilots who doubt that the terrorists could have flown those planes so accurately into small targets he also doubts that the pilots would give up the cockpit to a couple of guys with razor blades since that would put everybody in danger not just a couple of hostages he would at least expect the pilots to send a distress signal our government makes it a easy to hijack airplanes and fly them into small targets but many pilots and flight school instructors find the situation difficult to believe when faced with such contradictions shouldn't we at least conduct an investigation into what happened at those flight schools to make the flight training more suspicious daniel hop sticker shows that the flight school in venice florida had connections to the cia and was operated by a criminal from holland did the cia help the terrorists learn to fly or were the flight lessons merely to fool us into believing they were capable of flying to make the situation more ridiculous a few hijackers are alive in the middle east where did the f b i get these names and doesn't the f b i verify names before putting them on the most wanted list how can we use such a sloppy investigation to justify a war let's now consider the pilot's risky approach to the pentagon the pentagon is surrounded by tall buildings trees and highways it would be foolish for the terrorist to fly only inches above the ground it would be best to remain a few hundred feet above the ground and then dive into the pentagon however the terrorists decided to fly along the ground the orange arrow shows the direction he was flying when he crashed this photo makes it easier to realize that the safest way to crash into the pentagon is to dive into it while aiming for the center of the five rings however the terrorist decided to fly along the ground and crash into the building near the helicopter landing pad the problem with hitting this particular area was that his plane was coming from another direction so he had to make a two hundred seventy degree turn in order to hit that side of the pentagon it would have been easier for him to hit donald rumsfeld's office the risky acrobatic maneuvers of this airplane is enough to convince me that no human was in control of it i doubt that even the best air force pilot could fly a seven fifty seven a few inches above obstacles and at four hundred miles per hour flight seven tiny in this computer simulation because the pentagon is the largest office building in the world more than twenty thousand people work there many cities do not have as many people as this building the high concentration of people means that crashing an airplane into the pentagon could kill thousands of people what a coincidence that the terrorist hit the only portion of the building that was almost completely empty because it was being renovated at the terrorist crashed into any other area of the pentagon thousands of people may have died furthermore one of the purposes of the renovation was to increase the strength of the windows and walls to make them better able to withstand an attack to summarize this the pilot took a tremendous risk by flying only inches above the ground at four hundred mph and then he hit the strongest part of the pentagon with the fewest number of people in it an amazing coincidence the shuttle shattered to forty miles above texas while traveling perhaps twelve thousand miles per hour pieces of the shuttle and the astronauts were found over hundreds of square miles by comparison the passengers and debris from flight seventy seven were confined to a very tiny area but where are the pieces there were only seven astronauts but pieces of their bodies were found there were sixty four people on flight seventy seven but there is no sign of their bodies or even their blood this area is the corridor between rings there is nothing in this rubble that looks like flight seventy seven or pieces of luggage this hole was supposedly created by flight seventy seven but nothing in the rubble would support such a theory another photo of building materials and office furniture not pieces of airplane going inside the offices the only rubble we find is of construction material there are only a few photos that show scraps that appear to be from an airplane for example this is supposedly a piece of the skin of flight seventy seven however this metal seems too thin to belong to such a large airplane these planes are one hundred fifty five feet long and sixty tons when empty the engines are nine feet in diameter and they have some heavy steel components the small figure next to the engines is a six foot tall man to show how large these engines are the landing gear also contains massive metal components even if this crap belongs to flight seventy seven where is the rest of the airplane how can sixty tons of metal disappear water can easily vaporize and drift away in a breeze but airplanes do not vapor flight seventy seven also had several tons of people and luggage where are they this delicate scrap looks like a belongs to a global hawk or similar size drone or missile not a boeing seven fifty seven the circular object behind the fireman is supposedly part of the engine of flight seventy seven only one of these engine objects was found but flight seventy seven had two large engines not one small engine is it a coincidence that a global hawk has just one small engine this piece of landing gear was found inside the pentagon this tire rim was also found inside unfortunately these scraps do not prove that flight seventy seven crashed into the pentagon a global hawk also has tires and landing gear is this a piece of flight seventy seven it would be helpful if the military would release high quality photos of these pieces so that we could see them clearly so why doesn't the military provide better photos perhaps because a high quality photo of this item would show us that it's so small and delicate that it looks like it belongs to a global hawk here is another thin piece of metal that would fit better on a global hawk than a seven fifty seven furthermore a seven fifty seven would leave a total of sixty tons of scrap not just a few pieces that were so thin that people could pick them up without effort these tiny scraps of aircraft would make sense if a global hawk crashed into the pentagon because the global hawk was designed to be extremely lightweight one reason for its low weight is to allow it to remain in the air for a very long time so it can observe people on the ground for long periods it can remain in the air for as long as thirty five hours another reason for its low weight is to reduce the power requirements of the engine which in turn reduces the noise and heat from the engine this makes it difficult for people to hear it or pick it up with infrared sensors a global hawk is like an eggshell with an engine christopher bolin of the american free press spoke with steve risk us who saw the plane hit the pentagon and took these photos of the fire before the firemen arrived steve said the plane flew by his windshield but he did not hear much noise this could be used as evidence that a global hawk or similar quiet aircraft hit the pentagon by comparison the first plane to crash into the world trade center was recorded on video because the camera man heard the plane before it reached him the microphone of his video recorder also picked up the sound of its engines however that plane never came closer to him than about a thousand feet whereas the plane at the pentagon was only inches above the cars a video available at blockbuster video stores shows the first airplane hitting the towers the video is called nine eleven the filmmakers commemorative edition here is a that airplane never came closer to the people then about a thousand feet but we can clearly hear it if a boeing seven fifty seven flew four hundred mph only inches above the cars the noise would have been deafening also people would have felt the vibration from the engines the turbulence from the wings and the exhaust from the engines this photo resembles those from other disasters specifically most of the people are dressed to deal with fire or they have gloves and work boots there are no secretaries in high heeled shoes nor are there any children however a few photos show executives wandering around among the firemen who are these two guys why are they picking up scraps they do not have gloves on nor work boots they are holding the parts away from their body which is a sign that they are worried about getting their clothes dirty so why are they walking around in the fire fighting foam water human body parts and sharp scraps of airplane why are they so concerned about finding scraps of flight seventy seven that they will rush out among the firemen to help them pick up a few scraps the police are supposed to arrest people who pick up evidence for example on february fourth two thousand and three two people were arrested for picking up space shuttle debris they faced ten years in prison and an incredible fine why didn't the police arrest these guys are these the f b i investigators if so why didn't they let the workers with gloves and boots pick the scraps up a boeing seven fifty seven would leave sixty tons of scrap in which case these two guys would not be able to contribute anything significant to the cleanup but if a global hawk crashed into the pentagon there would be only four tons of scrap furthermore since more than fifty percent of a global hawk is carbon fiber and resin rather than aluminum if most of the nonmetallic material burned there would be less than two tons of scrap this would explain the mystery of why there are so few scraps however a global hawk has aluminum in the body any large pieces of aluminum would have to be hidden because they would not look like pieces  seven fifty what a coincidence that some guys carried away a large box hidden behind a tarp some of these guys are overweight there was no shortage of younger guys in better physical shape many of whom had gloves and boots why would these guys carry away this secret item what is inside this box and where did they take it why the secrecy if the military has nothing to hide as if there were not enough strange aspects to the scraps a news helicopter shows a line of people picking up small items from the grass who are these people they are not firemen or policemen why are they picking up evidence at a disaster this very rapid cleanup also happened at the world trade center at both the pentagon and the world trade center the cleanup crews were on the site immediately and removed it the evidence before the investigators could look at it at the pentagon some of the cleanup crew were executives if a global hawk crashed into the pentagon the pieces of carbon fiber would have to be picked up quickly because if somebody had found a piece of it he would have hey this ain't no american airlines seven fifty seven we just got it last i'm not tank aircraft perhaps the reason flight seventy seven vanished from radar near ohio was because it landed at a military base in the area then a global hawk may have been sent up to replace it since a global hawk can fly above a sixty thousand feet it could fly from ohio to the pentagon above the commercial airplanes since it is small and more than fifty percent carbon fiber it is not as noticeable on radar as commercial airplanes especially not when flying at sixty thousand feet this would explain why the air traffic controllers never noticed it on their radar as it traveled to the pentagon it also flies at four hundred miles per hour which is the speed the military claims flight seventy seven was flying when it hit the pentagon seismic sensors are buried around the world for measuring earthquakes and other events the sensors are so sensitive that many of them picked up the airplanes as they crashed into the world trade center and they picked up the crash in pennsylvania they also picked up the collapse of the towers and the collapse of building seven however there is no seismic data for the airplane crashing into the pentagon the scientists who analyzed the data reported despite detailed analysis of the data we could not find a clear seismic signal a seismic station near the pentagon does not show any clear sign of an airplane crash a different station shows a blip that might be an airplane crash at nine thirty nine and a third station shows nothing the blip in the middle graph which i colored red to make more visible appears to be a possible airplane crash but the scientists who analyzed the data claim that it occurred at too high a frequency the question this leads us to is would the frequency be too high for the explosion of a missile six global hawks were built as of december two thousand and two so if one of them crashed into the pentagon there should be one glass in the inventory christopher bolin spoke with the air force in december two thousand and two and they admitted that two global hawks were lost in ongoing operations not surprisingly the air force refused to explain what in ongoing operations means as previously mentioned flight seventy seven vanished from air traffic controllers near ohio nearly an hour later it was noticed on radar near washington d c it was dropping from a high altitude c b s news describes it as a downward spiral turning almost a complete circle how do we explain the sudden appearance of flight seventy seven perhaps because it was actually one of the missing global hawks not flight seventy seven if a global hawk flew from ohio to the pentagon above sixty thousand feet it would not be easy to see on radar until it descended to below ten thousand feet flight seventy seven dropped to tree top level and headed towards the pentagon but where are the witnesses who heard the tremendous roar of its jet engines the lack of noise suggests that flight seventy seven was actually one of the missing global hawks which are very quiet as the global hawk crossed into pentagon property a missile may have been fired at it perhaps the pentagon has missiles in its security system the missile would have shattered the global hawk and incinerated most of its carbon fiber but just in case small pieces survived people would have to check for scraps the fuselage has an aluminum frame so if a large piece of it survived it would have to be quickly hidden also while a global hawk and a missile can explain what happened at the pentagon where are the passengers and crew of flight seventy seven before trying to answer that question consider that the bodies of the pentagon employees who died in the attack were shipped to a morgue and virginia and then they were shipped to a morgue in dover delaware why the shuffling of dead bodies next consider that dental records d n a analysis and other methods were used at dover delaware to identify the body parts and the investigators claim to have identified body parts of the passengers of flight seventy seven how did passengers from flight seventy seven end up at dover we're not even a dog could find them at the pentagon perhaps flight seventy seven landed near ohio and everybody was put into a room with a bomb their bodies could then be shipped to the morgue in dover delaware at the same time the dead pentagon employees were being shipped to dover the people in dover would never realize that the bodies were coming from different locations building seven was a forty seven story building with a steel frame no airplane crashed into it nor did the towers fall onto it however this building disintegrated on september eleventh this satellite image shows the world trade center about a year before the attack building seven is a tall building at the top building one is the north tower you can distinguish it from the south tower by its antenna buildings four five and six were office buildings building three was a hotel the attack on september eleventh destroyed all seven of these buildings and it damaged a few of the surrounding buildings here is  view from an airplane of the rubble of building seven the pile is very small how did a forty seven story steel building crumble into such a tiny pile of rubble our government believes that fire caused it to disintegrate fires erupted in building seven about nine in the morning a few moments after the plane crashed into the south tower the fires burned all day this photo shows the fires at three p m the fires are not easy to see because they are small and there's lots of dust and smoke in the air nearby buildings and reflections make it difficult to figure out where building seven is so all fade out the other buildings for a moment so that you can see building seven more clearly there are only a few flames in only a few of the thousands of windows of this large building most floors do not have fires and the floors that do are burning only in a few small areas compared to other office fires these are small why didn't the sprinkler system extinguish them this photograph shows the rear of building seven this side of the building doesn't have many fires either there are no fires anywhere along the base of the building incidentally in the background of this photograph are buildings five on the left and six on the right both of those buildings have very serious fires burning inside them it is interesting to note that our government has never bothered to explain how building five ended up with such serious fires despite the fact that the fires in building seven were so small that the sprinkler system should have extinguished them at about five thirty in the evening the building suddenly crumbled into a pile of rubble how did a few little fires cause building seven to crumble according to bill manning editor in chief of fire engineering a magazine for fire departments fire has never destroyed a steel building so how did a fire do what it had never done before perhaps you wonder if incompetent architects designed this building with delicate steel beams if so take a look at the beam with the numeral seven spray painted on its end to say the beams and building seven were massive would be an understatement this building was straddling an electrical substation for the city so it had some of the thickest steel beams of any building on the planet at the upper left corner is a standard i shaped beam it would be considered massive in most buildings but it seems delicate next to the biggest beams of building seven as is typical in the design of buildings bridges and most industrial products building seven was designed with more strength than it actually needed so how did a building with such massive steel framework disintegrate into such a tiny pile of rubble from a few tiny fires a government agency thema conducted an investigation into why the buildings in the world trade center collapsed however the editor of fire engineering magazine became so disgusted by the investigation that the january two thousand and two issue carried an angry article in which he accused the investigation of being a half baked farce later that month both bush and cheney asked tom  limit the investigation apparently a half baked farce was more of an investigation than bush and cheney wanted i suppose they would have preferred a quarter baked farce in march two thousand  committee on science of the house of representatives held a meeting to investigate the investigation there were more insults and accusations at this meeting for example congressman boehlert complained that the investigation seems shrouded in excess of secrecy professor corbett complained that they were trying to run an investigation with part time engineers and scientists and on a shoestring budget there were also accusations that landlords and insurance companies interfered with the investigation it seems that a lot of people were helping president bush ruin the investigation during april two thousand and two the final bits of rubble from the world trade center were removed the thick pieces of steel were sold to foreign nations as scrap metal and at a very low price while the less valuable pieces were shipped by barge to be buried by may two thousand and two the world trade center had been cleaned up and all the rubble destroyed so nobody could conduct any further investigations into how the buildings collapsed the editor of fire engineering wrote months earlier that this destruction of rubble is illegal he pointed out that our laws demand rubble be saved from major disasters so that we can learn what happened and improve our buildings and fire prevention techniques our government violated the law when it destroyed the rubble from the world trade center here are some of the government officials who tried to impeach president clinton tens of millions of americans were outraged when clinton lied to us about what he and monica were doing these americans proudly boasted that they are law abiding citizens and they will not tolerate government officials who cheat lie or to perceive yet millions of these same americans either helped our government violate laws during the investigation of the world trade center collapse or those who are not actively helping with the illegal activities we're ignoring them ken starr spent forty million dollars investigating the sexual activities of president clinton why didn't ken starr advocate giving money to the investigators of the world trade center collapse so that they didn't have to depend on part time scientist and on a shoestring budget in may two thousand and two fema released their report on the collapse of the buildings not surprisingly the report doesn't explain anything for example rather than explain how the fires caused building seven to collapse the fema report has this the specifics of the fires in building seven and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time our government spent seven months investigating the collapse of the world trade center buildings and at the end they announce they have no idea what happened to building seven if ema was a private company i would demand my money back since they are a government agency their worthless report is evidence that they are involved in covering up a scam fema claims that they cannot understand how building seven collapsed but perhaps you and i can figure it out by watching the videos of it collapsing incidentally this video is lousy because it comes from people who recorded the t v news as with the security video that shows flight seventy seven crashing into the pentagon nobody wants to provide good quality video of building seven as it collapses at the top of building seven is a rectangular penthouse that contains air conditioning and other equipment if you recall the fires were on the lower floors not near the roof however the penthouse is the first part of the building to collapse how could the fires cause damage to the penthouse without damaging all the floors in between here's a different view of the collapse and another view when fires caused steel buildings to crumble do they normally produce this much dust well since fire has never caused a steel building to crumble before i guess we'll never know if this dust typical the person who took this next video decided to point his camera at building seven at just the right moment if you've never seen a demolition of an old building there's a d v d called what a blast that shows how buildings are demolished notice that the dust comes from the base of the building just as with building seven also the building falls down very quickly because the pieces are free falling they often cause the middle of the building to fall first in order to pull the outer walls inward p b s has a documentary called america rebuilds in which larry silverstein the landlord of building seven explains what happened there remember getting a call from the fire department commander telling me that they were not sure they are going to be able to contain the fire which is more believable fema claiming they have no idea what happened to building seven or silverstein claiming that the fire department demolished the building rather than bother putting out the fires and without giving the tenants the opportunity to remove their documents and equipment now that you've seen how the building collapsed do you think these tiny fires were responsible if so how did the fire destroy the entire steel structure building seven collapsed in the same manner that demolition companies destroy old buildings they use explosives to shatter the joints holding the steel beams together the explosives are detonated in a sequence that causes the building to fall vertically downward into a tiny pile of rubble also when the building is tall the explosives are often timed to destroy the interior of the building before the exterior walls are broken thereby causing the interior section to fall first as the interior pieces fall they pull the exterior walls towards the interior this creates a small pile of rubble with the exterior walls laying on top of the rubble photos of the rubble from building seven show exactly that namely the exterior walls on top of the interior pieces normally if a forty seven story steel building crumbled into a pile of rubble because of a couple of tiny fires people around the world would be shocked and want to know what happened architects would be interested in understanding what happened so that they could design buildings better people who live or work in tall buildings would wonder can fire do this to my building however are any architects asking why building seven fell down are any people in tall buildings wondering if their building might also fall down why does nobody care that a steel building disintegrated for no apparent reason part of the problem is that most people simply don't know much about building seven due to the incredible secrecy surrounding this building we were frequently told of the evilness of osama and saddam but how often did you see the collapse of building seven how many articles did you find in newspapers or magazines about building seven the only explanation for this secrecy that i can think of is that nobody can explain how osama caused building seven to collapse by keeping this issue a secret they are hoping that people will forget about the incident rather than ask what happened to building seven one possible reason for the secrecy about building seven is that it may have been the control center for demolishing the world trade center the twenty third floor of this building was given fifteen million dollars worth of renovations to make it into an emergency command center for mayor giuliani for example it was given bullet and bomb resistant windows there is nothing strange about adding reinforcements to a government office to protect them in case of attack in fact many retail businesses have bullet resistant windows however this particular office had its own air and water supply and it was designed to withstand winds of one hundred sixty miles per hour to make the situation more suspicious the reinforcements were only for this one floor so that meant most of the building was just an ordinary office building why would they protect only one floor this seems as silly as installing bulletproof glass in only one window of the president's automobile furthermore why would they need their own air supply and how about the protection from a hundred sixty m well consider that when the towers fell down clouds of dust and grit were thrown outward at a very high speed the only people protected from that blast were in this special emergency command center of course the city government claims the entire building was evacuated at nine in the morning so nobody was inside this special reinforced bunker when the towers collapsed this meant that the city spent fifteen million dollars to make this special reinforced bunker and then everybody abandoned it just when it would have been useful but did everybody really abandon building seven it would have been a great place for people to supervise the attack because the twenty third floor provided a wonderful view of the area and the occupants were protected from the dust and debris to make the situation even more suspicious as i explain in more detail in the book the flight path of the two airplanes that hit the towers appeared to have been on a course towards building seven as if this building was broadcasting a homing signal the government explanation for how the towers collapsed is often referred to as the pancake theory the report created by fema has only two diagrams to explain this theory the first diagram shows a fire and the next diagram shows the floor falling down onto the floor below it supposedly the falling floor breaks the joints holding the floor beneath it and then both of those floors fall to the floor below that which breaks that floor and so on eventually creating a stack of floors at the base of the building one problem with this theory is that photographs of the south tower show the top section broke off and fell to the ground landing on top of building number four the pancake theory definitely does not explain the south tower however just as the met did not bother to explain what happened to building seven fema did not bother to explain what happened to the south tower the towers did not simply fall down or break into pieces rather as jets of dust flew out the windows at extreme velocity that portion of the building disintegrated dust was thrown hundreds of  when it was over it was difficult to find anything resembling office furniture chunks of concrete human bodies or large pieces of the steel frame the towers had steel frames they were not steel reinforced concrete structures the concrete was used only as a flooring material somehow virtually all of the beams broke apart into short sections only a few steel beams that were along the outside of the tower remained connected together such as these here are two steel columns that are still connected together by steel plates these columns were along the outside of the tower this essentially was also along the outside of the tower it shows damage but the steel parts held together how could only a few assemblies along the outside be strong enough to survive the collapse a closer view of the rubble makes it look as if the towers were put through a giant shredding machine what happened to all of the office furniture where the elevators what about the staircases the concrete office furniture and people disintegrated into such tiny pieces that the firemen were scooping them up with buckets only the thick pieces of steel survived the collapse nearby buildings look as if they were decorated with tinsel the shiny objects are pieces of the aluminum coverings from the outer columns of the towers the aluminum coverings were shredded into pieces and blown up to several hundred feet away in this photo the sunlight reflects from the pieces of aluminum making them more visible how can buildings made of massive steel beams and thick steel plates shred themselves into pieces this is as ridiculous as an automobile crashing into a wall and then shredding itself into pieces buildings in cars are made of a low carbon steel and this type of steel simply does not behave in this manner this type of steel bends it does not shatter into pieces there should be large twisted pieces of steel assemblies in this rubble perhaps you wonder if the beams in the world trade center were thin and delicate and that the fire destroyed the towers because the stupid architects did not make the beams strong enough however architects always give a building more strength than it needs in order to provide a margin of safety that towers withstood storms for decades and there was never any sign that reinforcements were needed these two rectangular columns ran up the center of the towers they are usually referred to as core columns because they were in the center of the towers each tower had forty seven of these core columns the thickness of the walls in these columns varied from four inches at the ground to about a quarter inch at the very top of the tower the columns in this photo are about two inches thick so they were somewhere near the middle of the tower this photo shows both a rectangular core column and some square exterior columns there were two hundred thirty six of these square columns running up the exterior of each tower every floor was a mesh of steel trusses there were two sets of trusses crisscrossing each other to form a rectangular grid this diagram shows only one set of trusses the missing set would be travelling left to right in this diagram the purple lines along the right side show the orientation and location of the missing trusses corrugated steel pans were attached to the top of the trusses concrete was poured into these pans to form strong flat and fireproof floors the exterior columns were spaced every meter along the outside of the towers windows were placed between the columns the view in this diagram is looking towards the windows from the core columns the exterior columns were further strengthened with steel plates the plates were welded to the columns and then bolted to one another the plates form straps around the tower since the floors were spaced twelve feet apart that means this grid of trusses was repeated every twelve feet the steel straps that wrapped around the tower were also repeated every twelve feet as you can imagine that put a lot of steel in this building the empty space in the trus was used for ceiling tiles electric lights air conditioning ducts and other utilities it is important to realize that the framework of these towers were one hundred percent steel by comparison the building in oklahoma city that tim mcveigh was accused of destroying had a concrete framework with steel reinforcing rods in the concrete this is a highly simplified cross section of the tower it shows one floor of the tower looking down onto the concrete floor there were forty seven rectangular columns in the center of the tower although only four are shown in this simple diagram there were two hundred thirty six exterior columns although only sixteen are shown these exterior columns were literally on the outside of the building many people assume that these towers disintegrated because they were weak but there is no evidence for such an accusation rather the photos and the descriptions from the people inside the towers prove that these towers were so incredibly strong that when the airplanes crashed into them each tower merely swayed a bit in the opposite direction and then swayed back to their normal position both towers then remained
