WTC Victim on 85th floor, Jim Gartenberg Describes Core and Elevators Blown Out at 9:32 am on 9/11


Jim Gartenberg
- trapped on the 85th (or 86th?) floor, describes explosions from the inside of the building blowing out (not in) windows 8 floors below the impact.

As he describes explosions from the inside that blew out windows and elevators and collapsed part of the core of his buildings...the WABC News Anchors lose interest, mute his sound even as he continues to talk in the background...


9/11 Twin Towers: "Bombs" in the lobby

Clips taken from 9/11: Eyewitness and Loose Change: Second Edition showing that there was a "bomb" in the lobby of one of the twin towers.

FDNY lieutenant David Rastuccio on Building #7


WTC building 7 collapse captured live on MSNBC. FDNY lieutenant David Rastuccio describes how the building was to be allowed to fall on it's own or "would be taken down".


Watch all the way to the end.

"Let Me Know When You See Fire"

...the flaming inferno that wasn't...

Listen to the final moments of the daring rescue efforts of the New York City Fire Department operating in the South Tower of the World Trade Center moments before it suddenly exploded into oblivion.

This is the biggest conflict of evidence of all: Either there were emergency teams operating in the building or there was a tremendous raging inferno. The two are mutually exclusive possibilities.


BARRY JENNINGS: Emergency Coordinator for the New York Housing Authority, and Key Eyewitness to Explosions in Building 7



Emergency Coordinator Barry Jennings gives his explosive account from inside WTC7 hours before its collapse on 9/11.



Emergency coordinator for the New York Housing Authority, and key 9/11 eyewitness, Barry Jennings has passed away with controversy about WTC7 still hot as the BBC hit piece and NIST report have been released to counter Jennings exclusive testimony of explosions inside Building 7. Jennings passed away at age 53 from circumstances not yet disclosed.

A spokesperson for the Housing Authority has now confirmed his death, after weeks of rumors circulating online, but refused to give any further details. Several other individuals at the Housing Authority also confirmed that they knew Barry Jennings, and that indeed he had passed away about a month ago. No other details were available.

No one has yet been able to contact anyone in the Jennings family and the official cause of death is not yet known, but online comments have reported the date of death as August 19, 2008.

It is very unusual that a prominent — and controversial 9/11 witness would die only days before the release of NISTs report on WTC7 and shortly after a firestorm erupted over his testimony that he heard explosions inside the building prior to collapse of either tower and that there were dead bodies in the buildings blown-out lobby.

The BBC aired The Third Tower in July in attempt to debunk Barry Jennings account which is both contradictory and damaging to the official 9/11 story by making issue over whether or not he said he saw dead bodies in the lobby.

Yet Jennings own statement in an exclusive interview with Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas which has not been denied was: The fire fighter who took us down kept saying, Dont look down. And I said, Why. And we were stepping over people you know, you can feel when youre stepping over people.

Now the release of Jason Bermas Fabled Enemies is giving further exposure to Jennings controversial account. The film features a full interview with Barry Jennings, as well as the statements he and Michael Hess, who was also trapped with him inside WTC7, made to news media on the day of the attacks.
Barry Jennings reiterated in the exclusive interview his confusion over the explanation for WTC7s collapse given that he clearly heard explosions inside the building.

That interview was not released until June 2008 at the request of Mr. Jennings, who had received numerous threats to his job and asked that it be left out of Loose Change: Final Cut because of those threats.

Jennings statements have lit fire to questions about what really caused the sudden collapse of WTC7 just as NIST had hoped the release of their report would quash widespread beliefs that the building was brought down by controlled demolition.

News of Jennings death comes on the heels of losing another 9/11 hero and eyewitness Kenny Johannemann, who reportedly committed suicide 12 days before the seventh anniversary of 9/11. Johannemann is credited with saving at least one mans life on 9/11 and was also a witness to explosions in the towers.

NISTs report, as well as that of the 9/11 Commission (which did not even mention WTC7), completely ignored statements from the building leaseholder Larry Silverstein as well as numerous police, fire fighters and other eyewitnesses who have testified that they were warned about the buildings collapse and told to get back. One rescue worker even heard a countdown for the buildings implosion.

The truth about WTC7 will come out, and Barry Jennings testimony will not be in vain.

Explosions, Explosions



Sorry for the audio being slightly out of sync. All of the individual news reports in this video can be found on YouTube and other video sites.

Bombs, explosions, secondary explosions, explosive devices....how many more times do we need to hear these words being said by 9/11 witnesses before we start asking questions about what really happened on that awful day?

This video shows that many actual 9/11 witnesses heard and saw explosions going off inside the towers, long before they actually fell. These witnesses include police, firemen and reporters.

And what is even more shocking is the fact that all of this has been largely ignored by the mainstream media after the day itself.

For those debunkers who wish to keep saying that the explosions were caused by gas lines, please save your breath. All of the three buildings that were blown up on 9/11 were all Class-A buildings. This means that gas lines were not permitted because the buildings had to comply with the safety regulations set out for Class-A buildings. So there were no gas lines!

We really need to wake up to the facts and ask questions. If we don't, what does that say about us?

Shanksville and Flight 93


Flight 93 Crash Site - appeared once on TV and was never seen again:




Notice how the reporter mentions that the wreckage is spread over several miles. If the plane simply crashed, why would the wreckage be so wide spread? Also strange however is the lack of plane wreckage once again. Just like the Pentagon, the government said the airplane "vaporized." And I have some oceanfront property in Phoenix to sell you....

Here are a couple of pictures from the Shanksville, PA "Flight 93 crash" site. The "official story" is that the airplane must have "vaporized."







They "found" the black box - yet the engines and everything else just "vaporized?"







"The Boeing 757 still heavily laden with jet fuel slammed at about 575 mph almost straight down into a rolling patch of grassy land that had long ago been strip-mined for coal."
- Washington Post (05/12/02)


"We (were) literally surrounded by debris, and there's a very strong odor of scorched earth," Parsons reported. "It doesn't smell like jet fuel, it smells like ... How do you describe it? Burned earth. It smells like burned earth."
- Pittsburgh Channel (09/11/01)

"The soil is being tested for jet fuel, and at least three test wells have been sunk to monitor groundwater, since three nearby homes are served by wells, Betsy Mallison, a state Department of Environmental Protection spokeswoman, said. So far, no contamination has been discovered, she said."
- postgazette.com (10/03/01)

Environmental Restoration Begins At Somerset Site, Residents Concerned About Well Water:
"Three groundwater monitoring wells show no evidence of groundwater contamination and nearly 6,000 cubic yards of dirt sifted for human remains and aircraft debris will soon be returned to the crater left Sept. 11 by United Airlines Flight 93. Environmental Resources Management of Wexford, Pa., will fill in the crater caused by the crash, which was dug 50 feet deep by recovery workers. Betsy Mallison, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, said that investigators still don't know how much jet fuel was spilled at the crash site. But whether it burned away or evaporated, much of it seems to have dissipated, Mallison said."
-The Pittsburgh Channel (10/02/01)

Compare the above pictures from the Shanksville "crash site" to some pictures of REAL plane crashes below:








Isn't it obvious that Flight 93 had a different fate that we don't know about (yet)? We will need a new independent investigation to find out what really happened on 9/11.
The AGM-158 can be dropped from the B-2 Spirit. "In the terminal phase, JASSM is guided by an imaging infrared seeker and a general pattern match-autonomous target recognition system." An interesting feature, when they program a target into this cruise missile, they create a 3-D image in it's brain, making it extremely accurate. Watch them fly it through a window without clipping the wings.



This is the smoke plume supposedly from Flight 93 crashing. Note that the plume rises straight up into the air which suggests no wind in the area. (Photo source FEMA)



This is the same photo of the Shanksville plume inset in a photo of an ordinance blast plume for comparison.



Ordinance blast in Afghanistan.



Ordinance blast in Iraq.



Above, a plane crashing and the resulting plume of smoke and fire.



This is the crash of a small Leer Jet where the smoke and fire can easily be seen.



For reference, this is a United Airlines 757 - like Flight 93 - that "officially" is said to have crashed in Shanksville PA.

Explosion BEFORE the Plane Hit the Tower

Here is the important eye-witness account of Mr. William Rodriguez, a Janitor working in the North Tower. He was in the basement, when he heard an explosion - BEFORE the plane hit the building.

He is something of a hero on many levels, helping to rescue victims from the building - he also sued the Bush Administration for the attacks. You can see his website here.

On the day however, he clearly told the press about the first explosion - thought to be a bomb in the building - heard before the plane hit. However, in one famous TV news interview, his testimony is 'edited' in such a way, so as to suggest that he is saying that ONLY the plane hit the building.



Below is a newscast on 9/11/06 - five years later, William Rodriguez is featured on National Network News. His comments were cleverly edited after he says BOOM!! - which completely changes the meaning so that nobody will question the "official story."

And just to make sure that anything William says isn't to be taken seriously, the news reader brings up the current explosive issue of "undocumented workers" and links it to William Rodriguez. (
You can thank the racist Lou Dobbs for making that an issue in order to distract the public from what is really happening in this country. Please see posts on "disinformation.")

Also, please note that William Rodriguez is a native of Puerto Rico and is, of course, an American citizen. He saved fifteen people by leading and helping them out of the Basement of Tower One. He was the only person at the site with the master key to the North Tower stairwells amd he bravely led firefighters up the stairwell, unlocking doors as they ascended. This brave act helped hundreds of people get out of that building alive. Rodriguez is believed to be the last person to exit the falling North Tower alive.




Anthony Saltalamacia was with Rodriguez in the basement. For the first time after 6 years, they meet and his recollection was taped.




William has a DVD he edited entitled, What really happened on 9/11? You can order it here:

"As part of the fundraising effort to spread the truth, I have edited a video of my presentation in California earlier this year. A very emotional video where I take you through the events of that day. After the event I needed some time to recover. I am asking a donation of 15 dollars for the video plus postage. Anybody donating will receive the DVD signed by me. I will forever be grateful for your order and I will personally sign each one of them that is ordered."
William Rodriguez


Did you know that William Rodriguez (after his job was demolished at the WTC) was homeless for a year? He spends all of his time and all of his money speaking about his experience on 9/11 in an effort to spread the truth that 9/11 was a controlled demolition!

The world could use a few more men like William Rodriguez, eh? Please support this man to spread his personal 9/11 Truth....the link can be found in his words above.

NYFD 9/11 Eyewitness Accounts

Graeme MacQueen, Founding Director of the Center for Peace Studies (McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario) reads testimony from New York Fire Dept. firefighters:

Angel Rivera: "When we hit the 19th floor, something horrendous happened. It was like a bomb went off. We thought we were dead. The whole building shook."



NYFD Asst. Commissioner Stephen Gregory: I thought that I saw...low level flashes...I saw flash-flash-flash, and then it looked like the building came down. You know like when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That's what I thought I saw."
Firefighter Daniel Rivera: "At first I thought it was... Do you ever see professional demolition where they set the charges on certain floors and then you hear, 'pop-pop-pop-pop-pop'? That's exactly what, because I thought it was that, when I heard that frigging noise, that's when I saw the building coming down."

NYFD Captain Karin Deshore: "Somewhere around the middle of the World Trade Center there was this orange and red flash coming out. Initially it was just one flash. Then this flash kept popping, all the way around the building, and that building had started to explode."

The New York City Fire Department, under the direction of Fire Commissioner Tom Von Essen, collected the testimony of 503 first-responder EMTs, Port Authority police, and firefighters. It came to 12,000 pages.

The 9/11 Commission, run by White House appointee and insider, Philip Zelikow, rejected the testimony, just ignored it, not germane to the foregone conclusion.

New Ground Level Footage With Demolition Truck

Ground level footage starting shortly after the first tower was hit. At one point a Manhattan Demolitions Co. Inc. truck can be seen driving in front of the camera (slowed down in the film so you can see it clearly). The company is based only 2.4 miles outside of NYC so it may be totally normal that it was there - or maybe not.

Part 2 of 2 has the Demolition Truck:



Part 1 of 2 can be seen here - No truck but an odd piece of debris falls to the sidewalk. In this part you will see people jumping...

Interview with Barry Jennings



Debunkers claim the explosion was the first tower collapsing but in the interview Barry Jennings specifically says both towers were still standing.
