9/11 25 Years Later: The Combustion Event

Just a little of my work over the years regarding what really happened on 9/11. So much to go over. So little time.

Bush Accidentally Mentions The Explosives Detonated In The Twin Towers On 9/11.

Oops.

 

A Little 9/11 Reminder

by Scott Creighton

Hundreds of first responders on Sept. 11th 2001 reported hearing and seeing explosions which took down the Twin Towers and Building 7. Many videos exist of those explosions some even showing the tell-tale flashing light going from floor to floor as the det cord pulverized the concrete and steel floor systems ahead of the upper sections' fall at free-fall acceleration. 

Here is a little reminder of what a few of those responders said.

 

Remember... NIST never tested for residual traces of the high explosives that were used in the demolition of the Twin Towers and Building 7. When pressed to explain why, they said that their special expert told them it didn't LOOK like a typical controlled demolition. That special expert was the owner of Controlled Demolition Inc. (CDI) which was the largest controlled demolition company in the world at the time and one that held several government contracts at the time of 9/11.

CDI was on site at ground zero on Sept. 11th 2001 and had pulled permits to handle high explosives in Manhattan for several months prior to 9/11 and it was CDI's 'special engineer' who told officials that Building 7 was going to come down before it did. 

Just for the Record... the Real Mastermind Behind 9/11 Died Today

by Scott Creighton

Dick Cheney died today. Don't know how old he was. Don't know from what. Don't care. He was the real mastermind behind the attacks of Sept. 11 2001 and nothing anyone will ever say will convince me otherwise.

He lived his whole life after that day without ever facing any repercussions for it and that's a damn shame.

Some of us tried. God knows we did. And to the others out there who tried, I salute you.  

Definitive 9/11 notes on North and South Tower Collapse and Free Fall Acceleration

by Scott Creighton

It wasn't just Building 7 that fell at free fall acceleration

'The North Tower of the World Trade Center was 1,368 feet (417 meters) tall, and the South Tower was 1,362 feet (415.1 meters) tall. Both towers had 110 floors' 

Lets go with 1360 feet. 

How long would it take a bowling ball to fall 1360 feet with no wind resistance?

'It is calculated that approximately 9.19 seconds are taken for a bowling ball to fall 1360 feet assuming no air resistance.' Google AI

It would take a bowling ball 9.19 seconds to fall 1360 feet with no wind resistance. 

How long did it take the South Tower to fall?

'The World Trade Center's South Tower (WTC 2) collapsed 56 minutes after being struck by United Airlines Flight 175 at 9:03 a.m. on September 11, 2001, falling at approximately 9:59 a.m. The entire collapse process for the South Tower took only about 10 seconds' Google AI 

It took the South Tower exactly 0.8 seconds more that free fall acceleration to collapse all 110 floors of steel and concrete into a pile at Ground Zero. 

How about the North Tower?

'The North Tower (WTC 1) collapsed approximately 1 hour and 42 minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 struck it, specifically at 10:28 a.m. EST on September 11, 2001, though the complete collapse of the tower took only about 10 to 13 seconds' Google AI

All three buildings on Sept. 11th 2001 that displayed signs of controlled demolition and supposedly collapsed primarily due to office fires (first and last time ever) fell at either pure free fall acceleration (Building 7) or damn near free fall acceleration (Buildings 1 and 2) which is impossible for steel and concrete buildings. 

Moments After 'Plane' Hit Pentagon Before Collapse of Wall (repost)

by Scott Creighton

Hunt the Boeing. Where is it? Do you see anything to suggest a massive 757-200 hit the Pentagon on September 11 2001? Tail section would have crumpled and broken off and been outside the building. That wall was steel reinforced concrete and stone. Where are the wings? Luggage? Anything?

 

There is nothing to suggest a commercial airliner hit the Pentagon right in the section where Donald Rumsfeld says they were looking for the missing 2.3 trillion dollars just the day before 9/11. What a coincidence.

 

 

These images are rare and hard too find. I ran across them while researching this morning's video so I thought I would post them for all too see. 

Neither Gravity nor Thermite: Video Evidence Points to High Explosives Used in the Controlled Demolition of Twin Towers (archive)

 (archived from Sept 6, 2010)

(H/T David from HeavyWaterGate)

 by Scott Creighton  

A video posted at Kenny’s Sideshow (quietly emerging as one of the best Truth sites out there) examines the formerly unheralded events that took place at Fresh Kills landfill right after 9/11.  It is intended to show the complex process that was set up to “recover” human remains and personal items from the debris from Ground Zero (Twin Towers, and Building 7) but I think it proves a great deal more. 

Two glaring aspects of the video stand out; the first being the level of pulverization of everything in the Twin Towers, from filing cabinets, to desks, to the concrete in the floors, the carpet on the floors, and the ceiling tiles, drywall, chairs, computers… everything. Everything was pulverized to dust and unfortunately, that also includes the victims who died that day.  

The next most important thing that leaps out at you as you watch this video is the evidence of the massive level of heat that had to be present during the relatively short collapse time of the Twin Towers.  Metal signs from the 34th floor are charred and burned (there was no fire on the 34th floor)… police officers guns have all the plastic and rubber handles melted off while their chrome finishes are burned away allowing for rust and pitting to set in and the same is true with their handcuffs.  Some guns were burned so badly, they are actually melted. 

This is what is to be expected during an event using huge amounts of high explosives such as PETN or RDX, two materials commonly used in controlled demolitions. But don’t expect NIST to point that fact out… or current “leaders” of the Truth movement either, for that matter.  Funny how that works, ain’t it?

Unbelievable: NIST Uses CDI (suspect?) To Prove No Controled Demolition (archve)

(archived from Aug. 2008)

by Scott Creighton 

Yesterday, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a division of the Department of Commerce, finally released it’s report on the cause of the mysterious collapse of Building 7 of the World Trade Center (WTC) complex. There have already been several to jump out in front and claim that this puts an end to the “conspiracy theories” that have surrounded Building 7’s inexplicable destruction, since it happened on Sept. 11th 2001.

“We really have a new kind of progressive collapse that we have discovered here, which is a fire induced progressive collapse. In fact, we have shown for the first time, that fire can induce a progressive collapse.”. Shyam Sunder. (first time in history and flies in the face of what we know about engineering and the laws of physics. But, they NEVER tested for explosive residue and yet, this is the “first time” this “new” phenomenon occurred? Right.)

The 46,000 Missing Trusses of 9/11 (archive)

(archived from Aug. 2009)

by Scott Creighton

 Sometimes what isn’t visible at a crime scene is just as important as what is.

***UPDATE*** note the updated truss count. My original estimate of 23,000 trusses was based on the idea that they used single trusses in between the section breaks when in fact they did not, they used double trusses everywhere on each floor. My first count was based on doing a layout of the truss structure and then simply counting and multiplying that number by the number of floors which used these trusses. Turns out, the number of missing trusses is actually double my original number… about 43,000 – 46,000. With that one exception, I believe the research in this article still stands.

***UPDATE*** Please check out the companion article, The6,000.

--

According to the official explanation of the collapse of the Twin Towers on Sept. 11th, 2001… the initial plane crashes damaged the core structure of the towers enough so that when the resulting fires “weakened” the floor trusses, the result was that the remaining floors above the areas of the plane crash and fires crashed down on the undamaged parts of the buildings, and “pulverized” them in a gravity driven demolition of sorts.

 

This “official” explanation, which if left unchallenged, stands as the basis for the endless “War on Terror”, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the attacks on the general population of Pakistan, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, warrant-less and illegal surveillance of U.S. citizens, and various other assaults on our democratic freedoms… is basically a lie.

It is impossible.

Sometimes in an investigation, what you don’t find at the crime scene is just as important as what you do find.  Provided you know what to look for and you understand why it is or isn’t there.

With that in mind, I offer for your consideration, the great mystery of the missing Trusses and Floor-Pans of the World Trade Center towers 1 and 2… and the (estimated) 10 tons of “iron-rich” spheres found in the dust at Ground Zero by every single investigative agency that has bothered to look.

First: What exactly were the floor trusses and how were they used?

9/11 Shock Opera… Act 4 – Building 7 and Flight 93: The Grand Finale that Wasn’t (archve)

(archived from May 25, 2009)

“If they hadn’t shot down the fourth plane it would’ve hit the dome,” Stone, a Navy officer, said in his opening remarks.“ 

Prologue: The Premise

Scott Creighton

Take yourself back to that day when you watched or listened to the attack on America; the day that everything changed. Remember where you were, who you were with, and most importantly, how you felt.

Think about the last few events of that day; how the news of the Pentagon being hit by something was followed almost immediately by the unexpected complete collapse of the South Tower (WTC 2). Remember how we had barely recovered from that shock, one that we were forced to watch in horror over and over again, when the unspeakable happened; the North Tower (WTC 1) fell in exactly the same way; at an eerie and almost supernatural speed as plumes of smoke and steel columns flung across city blocks.

Now I want you to put yourself in that very moment, once again, and prepare yourself for the missing final act that never took place and yet may be one of the most telling and condemning pieces of evidence in the ongoing unofficial investigation of 9/11.

The 9/11 Shock Opera

-  Flight 93 and Building 7 -  The Grand Finale … that wasn’t.

NIST Says A Fire Caused It; NIST Is Lying (archive)

(archived from August 21, 2008)

by Scott Creighton

 

It is high time we stopped putting up with bullshit.

Nearly 7 years after the fact, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.), a division of the Commerce Department, finally released their report on the collapse of Building 7 today.

(pay careful attention to the sound on this. There are very few videos of the collapse of Building 7 with sound.)

We are told by N.I.S.T. that the cause of the buildings collapse was a standard “open” office fire caused a critical connection to fail due to what they call “heat expansion”, and that when that critical connection failed, it caused a domino effect with other connections, resulting in the perfectly symmetrical failure of the structure, starting with the center columns, resulting in the building falling and ending up in a perfectly neat pile, no bigger than it’s foundational foot-print. I don’t think so.

Definitive 9/11 UPDATE

by Scott Creighton

It's been brought to my attention that I should have informed you guys I was going to be taking a little longer on my Definitive 9/11 video than I originally planned when I announced it yesterday.

The Preamble I wrote yesterday may give you a clue as what I am now doing. Allow me to explain but know I am working on it and will have it out as soon as I can hopefully tomorrow for the 24th anniversary. 

Yesterday I was miffed about all this subtle misinformation out there surrounding the science of 9/11 (Tucker telling Piers Morgan that 'explosives were found in the 9/11 dust which is bullshit 'thermite' disinfo and Piers mis-explaining what NIST said about the collapse of Building 7)

So as a reaction I decided I would make a video setting some things straight.

I intended to do what I always do, make a video of me just explaining off the cuff and clicking on links from time to time to make my points.

It would have been fine but I want to do something a bit more... credible. 

Which means I have to put a little more effort into it and that will take a little more time.

The Definitive 9/11 - The Preamble

by Scott Creighton

The Preamble 

Rarely if ever have I referred to myself as an expert in anything and I am certainly reluctant to do so now on this subject. However, circumstances seem to require it and my experience in the real Truth Movement over the past 20 years I believe earns me that very unique and unfortunate descriptor: an expert on 9/11.

part of my work as a 9/11 Truth researcher

 

 

We should all be experts on 9/11 as that is what the real Truth Movement was all about. It wasn't about attention or views or subs or money, it was about doing what investigative journalists should do: explain world changing events in a clear and objective manner so people can have a better understanding of what happened and why and who did it.

 

Currently there is a general resurgence of interest in the events of 9/11:

Serious Problems With Jim Hoffman’s “A Hypothetical Blasting Scenario ” Makes His Recent Essay Far From “Plausible” (archive)

(I post this as a reminder of just how convoluted the 'thermite' distraction was from the very beginning.)

(Ceiling tile bombs. Yeah. Ceiling tile bombs.)

(archived from April 4, 2009)

by Scott Creighton

Jim Hoffman has just published his essay ” A Hypothetical Blasting Scenario:  A Plausible Theory Explaining the Controlled Demolition of the Twin Towers Using Aluminothermic Incendiaries and Explosives with Wireless Ignition Means” in time for it to coincide with the new Jones et al piece, “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe” and quite frankly, Hoffmans work is structurally unsound.

I don’t want to get too far into a critical review of Hoffmans work till I can wrap my head around what Jones’ paper concludes and that is mainly because Hoffman’s efforts are largely based on giving what he thinks is a practical application for the hypothesis of aluminothermic controlled demolition of the Trade Centers.  Clearly understanding more about the new Steven Jones work is key to validating Hoffman’s theory.

I am currently working through the Jones effort as you will see in a moment.

But Hoffman’s “Plausible” theory is a horse of a different color. It would appear that he may have been too eager to get a working demolition theory out there at the same time Jones released his research.

His “Plausible” theory and his conclusions need a lot more work.

Niels Harrit is a Weasel. He’s the Back-Stabbing Fredo of the Truth Family (archive)

(archived from August 2, 2009)

by Scott Creighton

***UPDATE*** anyone want to join in on the conversation? We are having an interesting chat on the comments section… jump right in folks…

Just look at him.  He’s a weasel.

Disinfo specialist, red-chip peddling, snake oil salesman.  What he and Jones have done to the “Truth” movement is criminal. Their ridiculous claim about the “thermetic” material (that’s not even a WORD people) kicked the Truth movement right off the tracks.

Their own paper says that they can’t even be sure how it MAY have been used… they can’t even tell if it COULD have been used to blow up ANYTHING! Yet everyone runs around talking about this “highly thermetic material” as if it is the end all be all to the unofficial investigation.

Niels himself has gone on record saying based on the amounts of these chips they found in the dust, he estimates 10 tons of the shit was in the dust after the demolition.   10 tons? Unexploded “thermetic” material? What does that mean they actually USED to bring the towers down? 100 tons? A thousand? It’s completely ridiculous, like Jim Hoffman’s “Plausible” hypothesis for how the “thermetic material” was used in the demolition. Remember that? 100s of “illegal aliens” running around at break-neck speeds planting 1.8 MILLION individual CEILING TILE BOMBS and kicker charges disguised as FIRE EXTINGUISHERS?!?

More Bad Science Surrounding the “Nano-Thermite” Red Herring (archive)

(As Truther influencers start pushing the thermite distraction again (which even Professor Jones discredited) it's important to remember how it was used in the past to distract from very real convincing evidence from the RJ Lee Group ('it was a combustion event not a compression event'))

by Scott Creighton

Another AE911Truth member has come out with what he claims is video evidence of the presence of  “nanothermite” in the demolition process of the World Trade Centers.  It is surprising that AE911Truth (an organization made up primarily of engineers and scientists)  would be promoting this video by David Chandler because it is an embarrassing collection of unsupported conclusions and really bad science.  It so obvious, anyone can pick it apart.  Unfortunately, I think that might be it’s purpose.

This “nanothermite” track that the Truth Movement has been on since the publication of the Harrit/Jones/Roberts paper has been increasingly dishonest since the very beginning and this is just another example of how “nanothermite” is blowing up our movement.

Which is, of course, the only thing this “super secret” pyrotechnic COULD blow up…

What they proposed in their paper was that they had found “active thermetic material” that utilized “nano technology” in the dust from the WTC demolitions.  In later discussions, they (Jones and Harrit at least) have estimated the presence of at least 10 tons of this unexploded material exists in the dust that was scattered around New York on Sept. 11th, 2001.

There has been a great deal of reasoned evaluation of the paper itself and the results of those evaluations have not been positive.

So Now Professor Jones Agrees with Me? (archive)

(With Ron Johnson saying in congress we need a new investigation into 9/11...all of a sudden these 'truthers' have popped up pushing 'nanothermite' as the means by which the controlled demolition took place. It's disinformation. Even Professor Jones of BYU, the guy who came up with the thermite/nanothermite/superthermite theory has admitted... thermite could NOT have demoed the buildings. It was conventional high explosives used in the controlled demolition industry. He admitted as much in 2009. and yet... here we are... seeing all these thought leaders in the Truth Movement push this same old debunked tired disinformation line... all over again.)

For months I have been taking hits from my colleagues in the Truth movement for my stand on the Jones, Harrit, Roberts paper “Active Thermetic Material…“.

I have stated, for the record and in no uncertain terms, that their “nano-thermetic material” could not have been w

hat pulverized the floor systems and was probably not what was used as cutter charges.

 

I have theorized a rational, logic based hypothesis for exactly what kind of explosive was used as the primary high-explosive in the demolition of the Trade Centers, and have even produced detailed drawings and schematics to illustrate my point.

Now guess who agrees with me?  Prof. Steven Jones does. Well, at least partly.

Steven Jones' Thermite Disinfo Still Demoing the Truth Movement

Once and for all the Twin Towers and Building 7 were not brought down with thermite. They were demoed using standard high explosives like RDX cutter charges and PETN det cord. And here I am after 20+ years having to explain it all once again. Oh well... such is life.

Strange Bedfellows: AE911Truth, the Drone Industry, and Dwain Deets

by Scott Creighton (archived repost from Sept. 11th, 2009)

Who is Dwain Deets?  And why is one of the founders of the drone aircraft industry writing papers with Gregg Roberts of AE911Truth and working on their staff?

In State of Play an employee of a mercenary contracting firm (read as Blackwater) turns into a whistle-blower and gives the investigative reporter played by Russel Crowe an idea of what kind of stakes are involved… “You have no idea what you are dealing with. That contract of theirs is worth billions.  That’s Wrath of God money.”

1. “Wrath of God Money”, indeed…
