Physics Made Easy - Understanding What Brought Those Towers Down on 9/11

Video: 9/11 Experiments: The Arbitrator of Competing Hypotheses (A Good Teaching Tool)

"It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong."



That's really all one needs to know to debunk the 9/11 deniers. That is the truth which shall set us free.

Kevin Ryan: Today's Message to a New York City Councilman

April 8, 2010

Dear Councilman Ulrich,

Last week, on Wednesday 3/31, I spoke with your assistant Liam about my request for you to consider opening a new investigation into what happened to World Trade Center Building 7 on 9/11/01. As a follow-up to that discussion, I promised to send more information on the evidence for explosives at the World Trade Center.

As I told Liam, I've co-authored several peer-reviewed scientific articles on the subject. The first one was published in a Civil Engineering journal in early 2008 and was called: "Fourteen Points of Agreement With Official Government Reports on the Destruction of the World Trade Center." This article pointed out the areas in which independent investigators agree with the official reports generated by the federal agencies, FEMA and NIST. The article thereby shows where some of the most important disagreements are found, and how FEMA and NIST left many serious questions unanswered. Here is a link.

The second peer-reviewed mainstream article was published in August 2008, by the Springer journal The Environmentalist. This article, entitled Environmental Anomalies at the World Trade Center: Evidence for Energetic Materials," reviews the environmental data produced by EPA and the University of California Davis, and reveals a number of startling and unexplained results. For example, dramatic spikes in volatile organic chemicals in the air emissions suggest that energetic materials were present in the pile at Ground Zero, giving rise to violent but short-lived energetic events for many months. Additionally, several specific metals and inorganic compounds showed the same patterns as did one very unusual semi-volatile organic compound. All this data points to the presence of thermitic materials, which are used as incendiaries or explosives. Although it's not noted in this paper, one should also consider that some of the unusual illnesses seen in the 9/11 first responders are caused by the compounds cited. For example, leukemia is caused by benzene, and sarcoidosis is caused by aluminum oxide.

The latest peer-reviewed scientific paper was published by a Chemical Physics journal in April 2009, and is called "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the World Trade Center Catastrophe." There are nine co-authors including the lead author, Dr. Niels Harrit of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. This paper describes analytical work done on four separate samples of WTC dust provided by independent samplers around the Ground Zero area. Extensive characterization was done on small red/gray chips found in all the samples, and the results consistently showed that these red/gray chips are actually active thermitic materials that explode.

If you take the time to read these papers, and the references within them, you'll get some idea of why many people around the world are calling for a new investigation. But I wanted to also address a point made by Liam. He was concerned that I could not tell him exactly who put the explosives in WTC 7, although I told him that it wouldn't be appropriate to speculate. Our nation has already jumped to conclusions regarding 9/11, based on assumptions that were never supported by official reports like those produced by FEMA and NIST. One result of jumping to those conclusions has been that many Americans have died or been wounded in the wars that originated with the events of 9/11.

The important thing to understand is that when scientific evidence demonstrates a certain fact, we should never ignore or deny that fact because we can't immediately explain the history behind it. For example, we have evidence that there is methane in the atmosphere of Titan. This evidence comes from measurements of the light emitted and scattered from that moon. We would not say that it could not be methane because we can't fully explain how the methane got there. Similarly, we have much evidence that there were explosives at the WTC. It would be unwise to ignore that evidence until we can explain how those explosives got there.

Thank you again for your consideration of this important request. If you have any further question on the evidence I've shared, or want to talk about it, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Kevin R. Ryan

Cutter Charges in the North Tower of the WTC

By David Chandler


This project began with an email from Graeme MacQueen to me describing an explosion on the NW corner of WTC1.

I started looking for other such explosions and found a prominent one right at the initiation point on the 98th floor. I further noticed a corner column sticking up after the roofline had fallen past. The top of the surviving column matched the height of the corner ejection moments before. This seemed to be the event that cut the column. The column hovered and swayed for several seconds then precipitously dropped. I wondered if Graeme's explosion was the one that triggered the drop. I found a way to synchronize the videos and then was able to verify that Graeme's "puff" occurred exactly at the moment of drop of the column.

The main significant points I see in this observation are:
1) The building is doing more than just blowing smoke out the windows. The puffs we see are part of the cause of the collapse.
2) We are seeing charges that can cut through the steel corners of the buildings
3) We are seeing a specific 14" column cut by explosives in two places: one to set it loose, and one to cause it to drop.
4) The two explosions occur in a time-delayed sequence, indicative of demolition

(Tony Szamboti and Carolyn Chandler, also made observations that contributed toward this video. All are acknowledged in a credits screen before the closing logo.)

"Explosions?" What explosions?

Funny thing, The "Official 9/11 Commission Report" said NO eyewitnesses mentioned "hearing, feeling explosions." Really? Obviously we need a new investigation that tells the truth this time.



The following video was uploaded to youTube by TheLoneLantern - we have no idea who this person or group is and cannot locate the referenced website. However, it worth watching because the audio of multiple explosions is clearer here than on most films that have surfaced.

Bush Talks About EXPLOSIVES in Building (on 9/11?)


Bush says this: "For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of planned attacks of buildings inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a high -- a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping."


It sounds eerily like what happened at the WTC on 9/11. Was Bush saying that the "terrorists" planted explosives in the towers or that foiled plots had planned to use that tactic? Or was he referring to the WTC?
Was he covering himself in case explosives were found in the dust of the WTC? Was the KSM "confession" the result of torture?
