Transcript

00:00:00.800 And we are live. What's up, guys? Welcome to FEDIT. We're here for part three, the 9-11 conspiracy theory. Let's get into it, guys.
00:00:09.920 I was a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, okay, guys? HSI. The cases that I did mostly were human smuggling and drug trafficking.
00:00:18.460 No one else has these documents, by the way.
00:00:20.680 Here's what FEDIT covers.
00:00:22.400 Dr. Lafredo confirmed lacerations due to stepping on glass.
00:00:28.300 Murder investigations.
00:00:29.580 You see him reaching in his jacket. You don't know.
00:00:31.900 And he's positioning.
00:00:32.540 Been on February 13, 2019.
00:00:34.240 You're facing two counts of two meditative music.
00:00:37.440 Racketeering and Rico conspiracies.
00:00:39.160 Young slime life here and after referred to as YSL.
00:00:41.780 This is 6'9", and then this is Billy Seiko right here.
00:00:45.240 Now, when they first started, guys, 6'9 ran with me.
00:00:47.860 I'm a FED. I'm watching this music video.
00:00:50.100 You know, I'm bobbing my head like, hey, this shit lit.
00:00:52.200 But at the same time, I'm pausing.
00:00:53.680 Oh, wait, who this? Right?
00:00:55.460 Who's that in the back?
00:00:57.520 Firearms and Violet Klein.
00:00:58.700 A.K.A. Bush IC violated.
00:01:00.740 You're wanting to stay away from the victim.
00:01:02.480 Bush IC arrested after shooting at King of Diamonds.
00:01:04.780 Miami Slip Club injured one person.
00:01:06.460 This is the one that's going to fuck him up because this gun is not tracing.
00:01:09.980 Well, it happened at the gun range.
00:01:11.160 Here's your boy, 42 Doug, right here on the left.
00:01:13.420 Okay.
00:01:13.760 Sex trapping and sex crime.
00:01:15.120 They can effectively link him to paying an underage girl.
00:01:18.440 I'm going to lock my sister with it, right?
00:01:19.900 Right.
00:01:20.200 And the first bomb went off right here.
00:01:22.900 The first bomb set down a backpack on the site of the second explosion.
00:01:26.580 Inspired by Al-Qaeda.
00:01:28.000 Two terrorists, brothers, the Zokar Sarnab and Tamerlan Sarnab.
00:01:32.380 When the cartel shipped drugs into the country.
00:01:34.640 This guy got arrested for espionage, okay?
00:01:37.320 Trading secrets with the Russians for monetary compensation.
00:01:41.340 The largest corrupt police bust in New Orleans history.
00:01:45.560 The days of the police are gone.
00:01:47.120 So he was in this bad boy.
00:01:48.720 We're going to go over his past.
00:01:50.500 The gang guy.
00:01:51.340 So that this all makes sense.
00:01:52.860 All right.
00:02:00.200 And we're back, guys.
00:02:00.860 What's up?
00:02:01.160 Welcome to Fed It Man.
00:02:02.560 Today we're going to be covering part three of the conspiracy theory.
00:02:05.560 Just so you guys are wondering, we have a bunch of different stuff.
00:02:08.600 So let me go ahead and share a screen with y'all real fast.
00:02:11.120 You guys can see here.
00:02:12.080 Here's the Fed It channel.
00:02:13.600 And on the Fed It channel, right?
00:02:15.880 My bad.
00:02:16.940 On the Fed It channel, as y'all can see, I got, obviously, the last episode I did,
00:02:21.020 Blueface Attempted Murder Charge, really beat the charges.
00:02:23.800 And as you can see, I got the crime documentary breakdowns,
00:02:26.580 which we're going to be covering the new Pearl Harbor documentary,
00:02:30.060 which covers the conspiracy side of the 9-11 attacks.
00:02:32.980 I also made a serial killer playlist,
00:02:34.840 and I did a complete 9-11 breakdown playlist for you guys
00:02:38.540 from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to the FBI case,
00:02:42.240 how they solved it step-by-step, identifying bin Laden and al-Qaeda as behind it,
00:02:47.240 the backstory on bin Laden, and how the CIA found him,
00:02:51.020 and then we went into what SEAL Team 6 found when they went to the compound
00:02:55.140 and kill bin Laden, and then we covered the conspiracy theory,
00:02:58.200 which is here, part one, part two, and now we're on part three.
00:03:03.400 And this was the last one I did, guys, and you can see I put detailed timestamps
00:03:06.520 on this thing.
00:03:07.420 Let me enlarge the screen for y'all real quick so you guys can kind of see
00:03:11.180 where I'm going here.
00:03:13.360 You know, as a matter of fact.
00:03:14.400 Okay, so the last one we did, right, we covered part three, the airplanes, okay,
00:03:21.300 cell phone calls, the flash animations, and then we went into part four,
00:03:25.780 the Pentagon attack, where the engines were.
00:03:29.300 No one found them, missing parts of the plane.
00:03:31.580 Then we went into flight 93.
00:03:33.040 There was a big hole where it crashed in Pennsylvania.
00:03:35.260 99% of the plane was covered according to FBI, but where is it?
00:03:38.080 The shoot-down hypothesis, the small white plane that was seen,
00:03:40.720 and then the mysterious let's roll recorded transcript from the black box,
00:03:44.380 and then part six, the Twin Towers.
00:03:46.620 A bunch of things that I didn't know about it, the fact that there was an
00:03:49.460 insurance policy taken on it.
00:03:51.320 Larry Silverstein buys the tower literally a month or so prior to it going down.
00:03:58.140 The asbestos issue, and then we left off at part, this part right here, guys,
00:04:05.200 which is the hypothesis of controlled demolitions, okay,
00:04:09.060 when we're still in part six here with the Twin Towers.
00:04:11.140 So, yeah, without further ado, guys, let's get right into it, man,
00:04:15.340 and wrap this thing up.
00:04:17.280 So this is probably the most complete 9-11 breakdown I've ever seen on the
00:04:21.040 internet, somewhat between covering the official narrative from the 2004
00:04:24.500 commission as well as the unofficial narrative from the conspiracy theory.
00:04:29.340 So let's get into it, guys.
00:04:31.900 Let's now return to the previous question, which is still unanswered.
00:04:35.720 What caused the initial collapse of the upper section of the towers under the
00:04:39.880 rest of the building?
00:04:41.200 As we have seen, there was a bowing of the facade before the collapse, but the
00:04:45.900 trusses didn't have any strength of their own to cause such a massive bending of the
00:04:50.200 external structure.
00:04:51.700 If explosives were used, however, and this part of the core structure was made to
00:04:56.000 collapse first, then the trusses would have had enough strength to pull along the
00:04:59.840 facade and to initiate the global collapse.
00:05:02.240 In fact, it was observed that the antenna from the north tower begins dropping slightly
00:05:07.200 before the top section of the building collapses, which indicates the central structure was destroyed
00:05:12.600 first.
00:05:13.160 Even though a controlled demolition seems the only valid explanation for the
00:05:19.360 collapses, the debunkers have brought different arguments against this possibility.
00:05:23.180 Now, if you guys remember, because you guys are watching the series, these are the six
00:05:26.140 debunkers that basically say the conspiracy theorists are wrong and pretty much agree with
00:05:33.060 the official narrative.
00:05:34.440 The first argument is that it would have been impossible to place the explosives under
00:05:39.780 everyone's eyes.
00:05:40.780 It would take an army of workers.
00:05:43.160 It would take months.
00:05:44.160 So this idea that, you know, some crew dressed in black could sneak in the middle of the night
00:05:47.760 and wire a building like that to be demolished, it's just, it's absurd.
00:06:04.160 There are, however, different facts to be considered.
00:06:06.860 The first one is that in the months previous to 9-11, a major renovation of the elevator
00:06:12.360 system in both towers was undertaken.
00:06:15.120 From the March 2001 issue of Elevator World, we read, Ace Elevator undertook what was perhaps
00:06:20.580 one of the largest, most sophisticated elevator modernization programs in the industry's history
00:06:25.200 at New York City's prestigious World Trade Center.
00:06:28.320 No one is suggesting that this company had anything to do with the possible planting of explosives,
00:06:33.060 but such an extensive renovation process would have certainly provided the cover for a special
00:06:38.100 team to access the internal structure of the buildings at any given time.
00:06:42.580 As explained...
00:06:43.760 Hmm, that's strange, guys, because I will say this too.
00:06:46.920 From the other episode, we knew that the Twin Towers had a significant amount of repairs
00:06:52.660 that needed to be done and asbestos removal.
00:06:54.640 So, this right here, a little weird.
00:06:59.800 Why would you invest in fixing elevators like this and putting this money in a very, you
00:07:03.520 know, extensive cost, knowing that the building was no longer profitable from a renter standpoint
00:07:08.340 and there was a lot of work to be done outside of just elevators?
00:07:11.920 By Richard Heumann, Chief Electrical Engineer for the Twin Towers, the elevator shafts gave direct
00:07:17.640 access to the core columns.
00:07:19.400 I'm very familiar with the interior structure that surrounded the elevator shafts and, of
00:07:27.980 course, their access to the elevator shafts gave them total access to the surrounding
00:07:34.460 core columns, the interior of the core columns.
00:07:39.540 Secondly, the movement of heavy equipment on floors that were supposedly empty was noticed
00:07:44.680 in the weeks leading up to 9-11.
00:07:46.400 Scott Forbes worked for a financial institution on the 97th floor of the South Tower.
00:07:51.620 It must have been at least four to six weeks before 9-11.
00:07:56.440 It was like rebuilding work going on upstairs.
00:08:00.060 The tenants, the people from Aon who had been removed somewhere else, the offices were just
00:08:05.240 vacant and there was a lot of heavy machinery building work going on.
00:08:09.920 It was almost like pneumatic drills and lots of hammering, so much so that the floors were
00:08:15.200 shaking. That's how noticeable it was.
00:08:18.060 It was almost as if something heavy was being moved and then it was being taken off wheels
00:08:23.480 and it was like, boom!
00:08:25.400 Our floor underneath literally shook.
00:08:28.000 You could feel the weight above you.
00:08:29.920 William Rodriguez, an employee at the Twin Towers for more than 20 years, recalls a similar
00:08:34.680 experience.
00:08:35.460 As I stood there on the 33rd floor, I heard very strange noises on the 34th floor.
00:08:41.220 I heard very heavy equipment being moved around and it sounded like dumpsters with metal wheels
00:08:51.160 being moved around and I got scared because I knew it was an empty floor.
00:08:55.780 Nobody was supposed to be there.
00:08:57.320 As a matter of fact, not even the elevators stopped there.
00:09:00.140 You have to have a special access key to open the door on the 34th floor.
00:09:06.080 Thirdly, after the 1993 attack, bomb-sniffing dogs had been adopted in the security system
00:09:11.480 of the Twin Towers.
00:09:12.640 Which we covered this extensively, guys, on the last, it was actually the first episode
00:09:17.480 of this, the 93 World Trade Center bombing with Rams, Yusuf, and that squad, where they
00:09:23.680 put bombs in the basement and it didn't obviously destroy the towers, but it did fuck it up significantly.
00:09:29.340 But on Thursday, September the 6th, bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed, according to a
00:09:35.360 security guard, with no apparent reason.
00:09:38.640 And lastly, there was an unprecedented power down in the South Tower on the very weekend
00:09:43.080 before 9-11.
00:09:44.800 For the first time in 30 years, all the security systems in the building had become useless
00:09:49.640 at the same time.
00:09:51.280 People could come and go as they pleased, even in protected areas, without being seen nor
00:09:56.020 recorded by surveillance cameras.
00:09:57.780 The previous weekend, there had been a power down.
00:10:00.720 Because of the power down, there was a complete breakdown of security that weekend.
00:10:05.580 We had guided tours coming into secured areas by mistake and nobody picking it up because
00:10:13.840 there's no intrusion alarms or anything else.
00:10:18.180 Scott Forbes was also present during the power down.
00:10:20.820 There was a power down in the South Tower on the weekend of the 8th and 9th of September.
00:10:27.960 It wouldn't have just affected camera security.
00:10:32.080 It would have affected all the secure systems on doors for either key locks or security batches
00:10:39.300 and so on to undo them.
00:10:40.920 They weren't working because they're all powered by electricity.
00:10:43.220 So there was no power.
00:10:44.580 There was no backup system.
00:10:45.740 Therefore, they were all open.
00:10:48.040 What, again, was the excuse that the Port Authority gave you, Scott, for this 36-hour period
00:10:53.200 of the power being down in the South Tower?
00:10:55.760 The explanation was that there was a recabling exercise to increase the bandwidths of networks
00:11:05.220 that were available in the towers.
00:11:08.160 But what I can recall is that there were plenty of toolboxes.
00:11:11.860 There were plenty of spools of cable.
00:11:15.180 There were men around wearing overalls.
00:11:19.040 You know, they appeared to be like engineers.
00:11:23.400 At the time, it seemed perfectly legitimate what they were doing because this was the story
00:11:28.720 we were given, that there was a recabling exercise.
00:11:32.620 The debunkers are right.
00:11:34.020 It would have been very difficult to bring in the explosives without being noticed.
00:11:37.840 But with the proper cover story, it could have been done under everyone's eyes, in full daylight,
00:11:42.880 without anybody even questioning what was going on.
00:11:45.340 Another argument by the debunkers is that controlled demolitions, they say, always begin from the
00:11:52.140 bottom, while the destruction of the Twin Towers clearly started from the top.
00:11:56.100 Controlled demolitions always begin from the bottom of the building.
00:11:58.760 You cut the bottom columns and then the building falls.
00:12:01.060 If you look at the World Trade Centers, both of them began at the impact ones where the planes
00:12:04.480 hit.
00:12:04.880 Il crollo del torre parte dall'alto, mentre le esposioni controllate parte sempre dal basso.
00:12:08.720 Si demoliscono le fondamenta, poi si va su, e il palazzo che deve essere demolito
00:12:12.820 crolla subito.
00:12:13.860 But this is not true.
00:12:19.060 For anybody in here that's a demolition guy, man, comment below if any of you guys are
00:12:22.620 in demolition or are aware of how demolition works and tell me if this is true.
00:12:27.140 Because this is a very interesting portion here.
00:12:29.500 Every controlled demolition can be designed according to the needs.
00:12:40.740 In fact, sometimes it's not a good idea to start from the bottom.
00:12:44.740 This brings us directly to the issue of explosions.
00:12:57.960 In the same interview where he praised the solidity of the Twin Towers, John Skilling stated,
00:13:03.160 I'm not saying that properly applied explosives, shaped explosives, of that magnitude could
00:13:08.360 not do a tremendous amount of damage.
00:13:10.040 I would imagine that if you took the top expert in that type of work and gave him the assignment of
00:13:15.240 bringing these buildings down with explosives, I would bet that he could do it.
00:13:18.800 On September 11, there were dozens and dozens of loud explosions reported by firefighters,
00:13:24.160 policemen, journalists, and regular citizens both before and during the collapse of both towers.
00:13:29.560 For all these explosions, however, the debunkers have a blanket explanation.
00:13:34.600 The witnesses were confused.
00:13:36.220 They were not real explosions.
00:13:37.600 It's interesting to note that all the testimonies that talk about explosions have heard them.
00:13:43.280 Nobody has ever seen them.
00:13:44.260 There are things that happened inside the building, pieces coming loose as a result of the extreme impact.
00:13:53.220 Very well may have been interpreted as explosions.
00:13:55.500 Most people don't know because most people have never heard one.
00:14:13.200 So any sharp, loud bang, that's probably an explosion.
00:14:17.760 The fact is, most of the explosions were reported by firefighters and policemen,
00:14:21.720 and no one knows how to recognize an explosion in a burning building better than they do.
00:14:26.200 As we were getting our gear on and making our way to the stairway,
00:14:29.060 there was a heavy-duty explosion.
00:14:32.180 Everybody just started running for the door.
00:14:34.020 Everybody was trapped.
00:14:35.160 New York's Bravestres never had a chance.
00:14:37.440 They really never even got that close to the building.
00:14:40.320 The explosion blew and it knocked everybody over.
00:14:42.760 The whole time you hear them, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.
00:14:45.640 So I think I know an explosion when I hear it.
00:14:48.100 In August 2005, the New York Times published 12,000 pages of oral histories
00:14:53.800 rendered in the voices of 503 firefighters and emergency personnel
00:14:57.980 who were present at the Trade Center on September 11.
00:15:01.460 Over 100 of them, one-fifth of the total,
00:15:04.240 has reported explosions in the buildings prior or during the collapses.
00:15:08.860 Regular citizens also seem quite capable of telling an explosion
00:15:12.480 from a simple object falling to the ground.
00:15:14.720 Something, either they blew the lobby up or something
00:15:17.800 because it blew the glass out of the doors and knocked us all down.
00:15:21.320 And I got a smoke and everything on me.
00:15:25.340 I just feel a little shook up because I got blasted, you know.
00:15:28.880 Before proceeding, one thing should be known about controlled demolitions.
00:15:33.080 Just like the Twin Towers, most modern buildings are built
00:15:35.880 with a high redundancy factor in terms of structural strength.
00:15:39.020 For this reason, a series of preliminary explosions is normally needed
00:15:43.020 in controlled demolitions to weaken the structure
00:15:45.460 before the actual collapse can be induced.
00:15:47.740 Obviously, in the case of the Trade Center,
00:16:17.720 the Twin Towers, it would not have been possible to set off
00:16:20.120 the preliminary explosions all at once, just before the collapse.
00:16:23.960 To make them less noticeable, it would have been wise to set them off
00:16:27.100 at separate intervals, any time between the impacts of the planes
00:16:30.400 and the collapse of the towers.
00:16:32.360 For this reason, it's important to keep in mind
00:16:34.520 the exact chronology of the events.
00:16:36.380 Witnesses normally call first explosion the one that came with the impact of the planes,
00:16:57.840 while they call secondary explosions all those that took place in separate moments
00:17:02.580 between the impacts of the planes and the collapse of the two towers.
00:17:06.500 We got that second, that first secondary explosion really got us spooked
00:17:10.080 because we were in the building.
00:17:11.260 Then there's secondary explosions and then the subsequent collapses.
00:17:14.260 We've heard reports of secondary explosions after the aircraft impacted.
00:17:18.300 According to several witnesses, there was a secondary explosion
00:17:21.460 that took place in the basement of the North Tower
00:17:23.860 just before the plane hit the building.
00:17:26.040 At 8.30, he says he was headed to level B-4 in Tower 1, four stories below ground.
00:17:33.160 I go downstairs, the foreman tells me to go to remove the containers.
00:17:36.760 As I'm walking by the main freight corridor building in the corridor,
00:17:41.080 that's when I got blown.
00:17:43.700 I mean, the impact of the explosion of whatever happened, it drew me to the floor.
00:17:49.180 Morelli then remembers a second explosion, separate from the first.
00:17:52.760 I was racing, I was going towards the bathroom, all of a sudden I opened the door,
00:17:57.140 I didn't know it was a bathroom, and all of a sudden a big impact happened again
00:17:59.960 and all the ceiling tile was falling down, the light fixtures were falling.
00:18:04.040 According to the 9-11 Commission, it was the jet fuel pouring down the elevator shafts
00:18:08.760 that caused the explosion in the basement.
00:18:11.180 From the final report we read,
00:18:12.960 a jet fuel fireball erupted upon impact and shot down at least one bank of elevators.
00:18:18.240 The fireball exploded onto numerous lower floors, including the B-4 level, four stories below the ground.
00:18:25.160 But the witnesses described an explosion that took place in the basement before the impact of the plane.
00:18:30.540 Very strong. Boom!
00:18:32.040 An explosion so hard that pushed us upwards.
00:18:39.920 Upwards.
00:18:40.860 And it came from the basement between the B-2 level and the B-3 level.
00:18:46.020 And at that moment, I thought it was the mechanical room
00:18:48.460 where they have all the pumps and the generators for the building
00:18:51.440 that maybe a generator just blew up on the basement.
00:18:54.640 Now, 20 years in the building, you know something that comes from the bottom
00:18:58.120 and something that comes from the top.
00:19:00.560 And when I went to verbalize that it was a generator,
00:19:03.520 we hear boom!
00:19:05.160 All the way on the top.
00:19:07.140 The impact of the plane on the top.
00:19:10.180 Two different events.
00:19:12.040 Two different times.
00:19:13.340 There are others who remember several explosions after the one from below.
00:19:17.340 It came from, I believe, at first we believed that it came from the mechanical room.
00:19:21.180 Then, we heard a series of other explosions that sounded up on the above levels of the building.
00:19:29.720 I was in the B-4 level and on my way, I heard a bomb.
00:19:35.140 So I said, probably the transformer again blew up.
00:19:38.500 So I stepped back, finished what I had to finish,
00:19:42.000 and I started towards the door again.
00:19:44.340 And there come a big blast with a big ball of fire.
00:19:47.600 The two separate explosions were recorded at a distance of about nine seconds from each other
00:19:52.320 during a business meeting that was taking place in a building nearby,
00:19:55.800 One Liberty Plaza.
00:20:00.140 Yeah, look at that.
00:20:01.060 What about the, um, on course?
00:20:02.980 Okay.
00:20:08.600 Sally's unparalleled.
00:20:09.600 When faced with this precise question,
00:20:13.020 the editors of Popular Mechanics chose not to answer it
00:20:15.740 and fell back on the generic explanation of the jet fuel in the elevator shafts.
00:20:20.140 Ask, uh, what your guys' explanation is for Willie Rodriguez's testimony
00:20:23.480 that he heard, experienced, and his co-workers were actually burned
00:20:28.400 by an explosion in the basement of the North Tower prior to the plane hitting.
00:20:32.020 And this has been verified by at least 20 different eyewitnesses.
00:20:34.640 Jim Max of Popular Mechanics.
00:20:36.180 The, uh, when the buildings struck, when the planes struck the buildings,
00:20:39.600 they, uh, they penetrated the internal core.
00:20:42.200 Jet fuel poured down, uh, stairwells and elevator shafts,
00:20:45.880 setting off secondary explosions,
00:20:47.380 not to mention the horrific impact of these fully loaded planes
00:20:50.680 hitting the structure and causing an enormous swing.
00:20:52.800 It's interesting to know, too, that the-
00:20:54.680 You still didn't address the fact of this before.
00:20:57.520 Empire State Building crash back in 1945.
00:21:00.660 But the explanation of the jet fuel in the elevator shafts
00:21:03.880 has several problems of its own.
00:21:06.180 First of all, there were no regular elevators connecting the basement
00:21:09.600 to the top levels of the towers.
00:21:12.060 Each tower consisted of three separate buildings built on top of one another,
00:21:16.060 each with their own elevator system.
00:21:18.680 There were only two elevators connecting the lobby to the 44th and 78th floor.
00:21:23.940 But the plane struck on the 95th floor,
00:21:26.020 which means the fuel could not have poured down these elevator shafts.
00:21:29.420 There were only two banks of elevators that went all the way
00:21:32.840 from the basement to the top of the towers,
00:21:34.840 and they were mostly used by maintenance people.
00:21:37.800 In one of these elevators was Arturo Griffith.
00:21:40.720 Well, I was on my way from B2 to 49th floor.
00:21:44.720 Not only didn't Griffith get cremated by this supposed ball of fire,
00:21:48.680 but he also remembers three separate explosions.
00:21:51.640 And there was a loud explosion and the elevator dropped.
00:21:55.940 When the elevator finally stopped,
00:21:58.180 they had an explosion that bring the doors inside the elevator.
00:22:02.780 And then they had another explosion on the panel
00:22:05.480 that threw me, you know, against the wall.
00:22:08.640 Most importantly, the theory of the jet fuel in the elevator shafts
00:22:12.560 fails to take into consideration the volumes involved.
00:22:15.480 Each tower had an approximate volume of 2,160,000 cubic yards.
00:22:21.740 The planes that hit the towers carried an estimated 10,000 gallons of fuel each
00:22:26.120 at the time of impact.
00:22:28.000 10,000 gallons is the equivalent of 50 cubic yards.
00:22:31.660 This in-scale graphic shows what 50 cubic yards look like
00:22:35.120 next to the volume of the tower.
00:22:37.900 Assuming that about half of the fuel was consumed in the initial explosion,
00:22:41.600 we would be left with some 25 cubic yards of fuel available.
00:22:45.480 But most of this fuel is needed to ignite the fires at different floors,
00:22:49.500 as explained by Mr. Meggs himself.
00:22:51.460 Jets crashed into buildings.
00:22:53.120 They crashed at an angle, which meant that their wings,
00:22:55.220 which is where they store most of their fuel,
00:22:56.960 cut through multiple floors.
00:22:58.240 So they splash fuel and debris across multiple floors of the building, igniting fires.
00:23:03.540 So even assuming that, for some strange reason,
00:23:06.100 five of those cubic yards were all to end up in the only elevator shaft
00:23:09.940 that goes all the way to the bottom of the tower,
00:23:11.960 there wouldn't be enough to reach the basement in significant quantities.
00:23:15.480 Your typical 10-foot-by-30-inch backyard pool contains roughly 1,000 gallons of water,
00:23:21.620 which is the equivalent of 5 cubic yards.
00:23:24.880 Imagine dumping the water from this pool into this kind of elevator shaft
00:23:28.340 with a drop of more than 1,000 feet below,
00:23:30.860 and you'll get the idea of how much fuel can actually reach the bottom.
00:23:33.920 In any case, the fuel in the elevator shaft's theory could never account for the powerful explosion
00:23:40.060 that literally devastated the lobby of the North Tower one hour after the first impact
00:23:45.960 and before the collapse of the South Tower.
00:23:48.200 There was a secondary explosion, probably a device you'd have planted before
00:23:52.400 or on the aircraft that did not explode until an hour later.
00:23:56.140 Yeah, all these witness statements saying that they heard explosions is crazy, dude.
00:24:00.200 Then somebody said that they saw an airliner going to one of those towers.
00:24:04.440 Then, I don't know, an hour later than that,
00:24:07.460 we had that big explosion from much, much lower.
00:24:10.220 I don't know what on earth caused that.
00:24:11.660 In fact, these firemen reported three large explosions in Tower one,
00:24:15.700 which took place after the plane's impact.
00:24:18.260 They also confirmed it was the third explosion to devastate the lobby of the tower.
00:24:22.580 It was an explosion.
00:24:24.480 It was in the lobby, and the third explosion, the whole lobby collapsed on us.
00:24:29.260 What you told me is that there was a plane or whatever hit the building,
00:24:32.540 then a secondary explosion.
00:24:33.720 It was like three explosions after that.
00:24:35.360 We came in after the fire.
00:24:37.400 We came when the fire was going on already.
00:24:38.960 We was in the staging area inside the building.
00:24:41.660 Waiting to go upstairs until the next building explosion.
00:24:44.460 The whole lobby collapsed on the lobby inside.
00:24:46.940 It took these witnesses about one hour to walk down from the 82nd floor
00:24:50.700 to the lobby of the North Tower after the impact of the plane.
00:24:54.060 We got to the fourth floor from the 82nd floor.
00:24:56.760 We stuck on the stairs for a while.
00:24:58.500 We finally got down to the lobby.
00:24:59.880 Then we get to the lobby.
00:25:01.040 It was as big as it was.
00:25:02.160 I don't know if it was.
00:25:02.840 Just like what you've just seen.
00:25:04.520 That's what we went through before we came out of the building.
00:25:06.640 Then we get out the building, then another smoke plant.
00:25:08.780 A similar story here.
00:25:10.400 The long descent from Tower 1 and the big explosion in the lobby.
00:25:14.460 It was like holy hell coming down those stairs.
00:25:17.140 And then when we finally got to the bottom,
00:25:19.140 we were coming out on the listening level there.
00:25:22.220 And then another explosion came right from me because everyone was flying.
00:25:25.180 Yet another similar story.
00:25:26.820 Big boom.
00:25:28.040 Come down the steps.
00:25:29.240 Everything fine until we got to the basement.
00:25:30.720 And then everything just fell in.
00:25:32.380 I got trapped in there with another guy.
00:25:34.480 Crawled out.
00:25:35.740 Kept getting hit in the head.
00:25:37.080 Bags rolled around.
00:25:37.920 You got all these witnesses, man, saying that they heard explosions.
00:25:42.200 You can't really, uh, can't deny that one.
00:25:46.400 So let's keep going.
00:25:48.300 The situation in the lobby was such that there was no doubt on what had happened.
00:25:52.800 The ladies that are with me were in the World Trade Center in the first building
00:25:56.860 and escaped through the lobby where they report they believe there was a bomb in the lobby.
00:26:01.140 We ran down the steps to the lobby.
00:26:04.220 There was no lobby.
00:26:05.220 Everything was torn up.
00:26:07.080 We came outside in the lobby.
00:26:08.100 There was no lobby.
00:26:08.860 The lobby was totally gone.
00:26:10.300 Did you see other people?
00:26:11.420 People.
00:26:11.760 There was a woman.
00:26:12.200 They were her face blown off.
00:26:13.240 Big glass lobby, and all the glass was broken.
00:26:17.060 Wires hanging from the ceiling.
00:26:18.880 The signs that would hang above telling you where to go were all hanging.
00:26:21.900 It was unbelievably scary to look at.
00:26:24.920 Firefighter John Schroeder was climbing the stairs of Tower One
00:26:27.920 when he heard the huge explosion from below.
00:26:30.020 We were heading up to the 24th floor of the stairwell,
00:26:32.460 and all of a sudden our building got rocked.
00:26:36.440 We got bounced around in the stairwell like pinballs, man.
00:26:39.940 And we just said, you know what?
00:26:41.340 Time to go.
00:26:42.420 We came down.
00:26:43.280 It looked like a bomb went off in the lobby.
00:26:45.680 Everything was exploded.
00:26:46.960 Everything was gone.
00:26:47.840 We're like, what is going on here?
00:26:49.080 For every window in the lobby to be exploded, I mean,
00:26:53.380 them windows were like as thick as forget it.
00:26:55.940 They were two, three-inch glasses.
00:26:57.520 You know, come on.
00:26:58.080 They exploded out of the lobby.
00:27:00.920 You know, it wasn't in front of Jeff Jules.
00:27:04.780 No way.
00:27:05.960 Then we have the accounts from those who heard explosions
00:27:08.260 moments before the South Tower collapsed.
00:27:11.080 John McLaughlin was a police officer for the Port Authority.
00:27:14.000 Going into Tower One, we heard a loud explosion
00:27:16.460 coming from the area of Building Two,
00:27:19.580 and at that point, Building Two was collapsing.
00:27:22.120 We saw the top begin to blow out in a plume of smoke,
00:27:25.700 and we heard the noise associated with an implosion.
00:27:28.260 I was about five blocks away when I heard explosions,
00:27:32.440 three thuds, and turn around to see the building we just got out of.
00:27:35.800 Antenna tip over and fall in on itself.
00:27:38.380 And then there were some three tremendous explosions,
00:27:41.480 and everything started coming down.
00:27:42.920 Then there was a tight sequence of detonations during the collapse of the South Tower,
00:27:47.540 which many described as firecrackers.
00:27:49.580 You heard a big explosion before the building fell?
00:27:52.280 I saw it as it was happening, and it sounded as if you had a hundred of those little black firecrackers,
00:27:58.780 and you lit them all off at once.
00:28:00.120 That's what it sounded like.
00:28:01.240 It sounded like the finale of the 4th of July.
00:28:04.180 As the first tower came down, there were a series of explosions.
00:28:08.400 It was like boom, boom.
00:28:09.900 You could hear the echoes of the explosions echoing off the different buildings.
00:28:13.720 The detonations started, and they went boom, boom, boom.
00:28:19.300 They were a little less than a second.
00:28:20.920 Below the fire, I saw from the corner, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:28:26.760 Just like 20 straight hits.
00:28:28.820 Just detonated.
00:28:29.740 There was a plan to take down a building.
00:28:31.040 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:28:32.400 All the way down.
00:28:33.140 It was like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:28:34.920 From far away, boom, boom.
00:28:37.900 And you heard the boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:28:39.800 I mean, that could also be the floors toppling on top of each other as the place is pancaking.
00:28:45.520 But definitely, you know, it seems pretty obvious that something went off as potentially an explosive.
00:28:52.780 Boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:28:53.460 The same kind of detonations were heard during the collapse of the North Tower.
00:28:57.200 The second tower, number one, the second tower collapsed.
00:29:01.260 It was the exact, exact same series of detonations.
00:29:06.200 And then it started, it sounded like firecrackers.
00:29:09.560 Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.
00:29:11.980 And we looked up and the second tower was coming down.
00:29:15.440 The debunkers doubt that there were explosions, they say, because no explosions were recorded in the videos from the collapses.
00:29:21.820 The demolitions make noise, make very precise, as you have heard.
00:29:27.940 How did you see it in the images of the Cori Gemelli?
00:29:32.860 There are no explosions, but there is only a continuous explosion.
00:29:36.140 When there is an explosion, the explosion.
00:29:37.540 The explosion is a measure.
00:29:40.260 The explosion is a measure.
00:29:42.420 It's an anguish.
00:29:45.040 No one of them is an anguish.
00:29:46.980 No one of them.
00:29:48.500 First of all, the debunkers forget that most of the television shots were taken from a distance, with long telephoto lenses, and they don't carry the actual sound from the towers.
00:29:58.800 While in the videos shot by amateurs, the soundtrack is usually covered by the screams of those standing around the camera.
00:30:04.480 In any case, it's not true that no explosions were recorded.
00:30:23.820 And coming from an audio sense, guys, yes, absolutely.
00:30:26.900 Especially camera recorders, they suck.
00:30:30.180 You know, you're going to, this is why people use road mics.
00:30:32.160 This is why people use shotgun mics.
00:30:33.460 Typically, the audio devices that come on the camera pre-equipped are trash.
00:30:40.660 ...recorded by video cameras.
00:30:42.660 In this shot, for example, a series of loud concussions can be heard just before the collapse begins.
00:30:48.880 On the left, covered by smoke, is the South Tower, moments before the collapse.
00:30:53.200 In this shot, by ABC television, the initial explosion can also be heard.
00:31:11.040 Listen carefully after the words, FBI agents.
00:31:13.840 This is as close as we can get to the base of the World Trade Center.
00:31:16.880 You can see the firemen assembled here.
00:31:18.760 The police officers, FBI agents.
00:31:20.880 And you can see the two towers.
00:31:23.260 A huge explosion now, waiting for money on all of us.
00:31:26.320 The explosion can be heard even better by separating the stereo track of the microphone from the one of the camera.
00:31:31.740 Here are the police officers, FBI agents.
00:31:33.920 The same explosion can be heard in the same clip.
00:31:45.120 I can only imagine being there, like, real time hearing that, guys.
00:31:49.140 Because, guys, these towers are huge, in case you've ever been there.
00:31:51.640 I mean, I remember being a kid walking around the Twin Towers as a child.
00:31:54.900 And, yeah, gargantuan structures, my friends.
00:31:59.020 Used in a PBS documentary.
00:32:01.060 But a key question remained.
00:32:03.540 Did their ultimate failure?
00:32:06.360 But a key question remained.
00:32:09.000 Did their ultimate failure?
00:32:10.700 And then there were several explosions recorded after both towers had collapsed, like this one from this BBC video.
00:32:17.900 This one was recorded after both of the Twin Towers had collapsed.
00:32:21.240 And before Tower 7's collapsed.
00:32:28.240 Amateurs also kept recording explosions after the collapse of both towers.
00:32:32.520 It's now 11 o'clock.
00:32:36.360 Still hear continuing explosions.
00:32:45.500 It's another explosion.
00:32:47.940 This recording was made between 10 and 11 o'clock.
00:32:51.240 The explosion came from the direction of Building 7.
00:32:54.040 Mother, or something?
00:32:57.240 You've got to get back to it.
00:32:59.520 You know that.
00:33:00.300 You've got to get back.
00:33:01.220 You're smoking.
00:33:02.260 I know.
00:33:05.020 In fact, a big explosion in Building 7 was reported before either tower had collapsed.
00:33:10.720 Sometime after 9 o'clock, Barry Jennings was descending the stairs of Building 7, trying to reach street level.
00:33:16.060 Well, me and Mr. Hess, the Corporation Council, were on the 23rd floor.
00:33:19.520 I told them we've got to get out of here.
00:33:21.240 We started walking down the stairs.
00:33:22.420 We made it to the 8th floor.
00:33:23.860 Big explosion.
00:33:25.200 Blew us back into the 8th floor.
00:33:26.860 Jennings was trapped in the building for several hours, together with his colleague, Michael Hess.
00:33:31.460 Mr. Hess!
00:33:34.260 8th floor.
00:33:34.740 8th floor, 7 World Trade.
00:33:37.180 I'll pass the word.
00:33:38.640 After they were rescued by the fire department, Mr. Hess confirmed the big explosion on the 8th floor.
00:33:43.680 Council, Mr. Hess, you were trapped in, I believe, 7 World Trade Center.
00:33:46.880 Go ahead, sir.
00:33:47.680 Yes, I was.
00:33:48.320 I was up in the emergency management center on the 23rd floor.
00:33:52.020 Another gentleman and I walked down to the 8th floor where there was an explosion.
00:33:56.260 In a later interview, Jennings has confirmed the explosion took place before either tower had collapsed.
00:34:01.880 Both buildings were still standing.
00:34:02.920 I was trapped in there for several hours.
00:34:05.480 I was trapped in there when both buildings came down.
00:34:08.880 While he was trapped, Jennings kept hearing more explosions.
00:34:11.920 All this time, I'm hearing all types of explosions.
00:34:14.400 In fact, explosions near Building 7 were recorded up to a few minutes before the building collapsed.
00:34:29.380 And finally, there was also someone who saw an explosion up close, through his very eyes.
00:34:36.760 It's Ron DeFrancesco, the same person who had descended from the 91st floor of the South Tower all the way to the lobby.
00:34:42.800 When he was exiting the building, he heard an explosion.
00:34:46.460 He spun around and a fireball was coming down the hallway at him.
00:34:49.620 He put his arms up, blew him across Church Street.
00:34:53.180 He woke up in the hospital two days later.
00:34:55.060 Yeah, I had burns, they say, on 80% of my body.
00:34:58.400 And I broke a bone in my back.
00:35:01.100 And I guess my ears were turned inside out just with the burns.
00:35:05.640 My head was very swollen.
00:35:07.460 Wow.
00:35:08.200 I mean, not bad for 80%.
00:35:09.900 He looks pretty normal to me right now, but holy.
00:35:13.640 You know, I had my conscience, and so they were melted to my eyes.
00:35:18.220 And to doubt the content of all these accounts does not mean to have debunked the claims of explosions.
00:35:24.120 It means to willfully ignore dozens and dozens of dramatic testimonies which describe a story of September 11 quite different from the one we have been told so far.
00:35:34.100 In particular, can you explain the huge explosion reported by multiple witnesses in the basement of the North Tower moments before the impact of the plane?
00:36:01.720 Can you explain what caused the huge explosion that literally devastated the lobby of the North Tower, according to multiple witnesses, about one hour after the impact of the plane and before the collapse of Tower 2?
00:36:14.540 Can you explain what caused the big explosion reported by Mr. Jennings and Mr. Hess on the 8th floor of Building 7 before either tower had collapsed?
00:36:23.600 Can you explain what caused the multiple explosions recorded by different camera crews, including the BBC and CNN, after the towers had collapsed and before the collapse of Building 7?
00:36:37.920 Can you explain how more than 100 witnesses, most of them firefighters and policemen, could have all been mistaken in reporting explosions at the Twin Towers on September 11?
00:36:50.740 Another element suggesting controlled demolitions are the so-called squids, the puffs of debris that were noticed on the sides of both towers as the collapses took place.
00:36:59.120 Yeah, this is pretty compelling right here. I'm not going to lie. These little things that pop out, guys, this is a very strong indicator of a controlled demolition.
00:37:10.200 Squids occur in controlled demolitions when concrete is forcefully expelled from the building by the explosions occurring inside.
00:37:16.640 The individual explosions that I noticed 20 and 30 and 40 stories below the collapsing structure, those are what we demolitions guys call squids, and that's another characteristic that seems to be evident.
00:37:29.160 But for the squids in the Twin Towers, the debunkers have a different explanation.
00:37:33.280 A building like that, it's like a giant accordion, it's full of air. When the top of that building comes down, all that air has to come out, and where it comes out, it comes out the windows, it blows out the window.
00:37:42.280 The debunkers forget that several squids were observed 20, 30, or 40 floors below the level of the collapse, in an area where the floors above were still perfectly intact.
00:38:02.920 There is no smoke or concrete to be pushed out here when the collapse has only reached this level at this point.
00:38:08.860 But even in this case, the debunkers have an explanation.
00:38:12.360 And that's what is explained, precisely, by the communication of the surpression, by the walls of the ascension.
00:38:18.740 Well, here it's the walls of the ascension. There is, of course, also the escaliers.
00:38:21.660 So, this also has allowed this evacuation of the air, not only on the sides, but also in the whole tour, by putting in pressure on the building.
00:38:30.400 But elevators and stairs have doors at almost every floor. Had there been such a strong compression from above, it would have pushed with equal force on all the floors below, not just the one where the squib occurred.
00:38:43.280 In any case, this is clearly not broken glass. Glass fragments from a window would not even be visible from such a distance.
00:38:50.180 These are high-speed ejections of concrete and other solid debris, which can only be explained by a powerful explosion having occurred nearby.
00:38:58.800 There is even one case in which the expulsion of material, and possibly a human being, takes place before the collapse has begun.
00:39:09.180 You see that blow up?
00:39:11.180 Yo, that's crazy, man.
00:39:20.800 Given that what we see is clearly not glass from a broken window, but concrete and other debris, can you explain what caused the squibs observed 30 or 40 floors below the level of collapse?
00:39:32.520 Technically speaking, squibs are just a particular case of explosions occurring below the level of collapse.
00:39:38.380 But powerful ejections of concrete and other material have been observed throughout the entire collapse of both towers.
00:40:08.380 Remember that frame there was a Nokianyot pewun.
00:40:17.700 добавit now woke up to a bunch of walls.
00:40:20.020 So however, you now have any response to the установ
00:40:36.960 Thank you.
00:41:06.960 Yeah, the destruction on that day was crazy, guys.
00:41:22.520 You can see, yeah, there's an outline in all the traits in the show.
00:41:32.520 It could be a controlled demolition.
00:41:33.840 To live through this time was wild.
00:41:38.220 I know some of you young people might not even know what 9-11 is or who...
00:41:42.720 The result of such explosive force is the lateral ejection of large chunks of the external structure all around the towers.
00:41:49.360 The spread of debris in a large radius around each tower.
00:41:54.100 What we see is an outward explosion of material beyond the perimeters of each footprint.
00:41:59.760 FEMA has documented a 1,200-foot diameter debris area around each tower where major chunks of the buildings were found.
00:42:08.640 This means that parts of the structure were ejected laterally at a distance twice as large as the width of the tower itself.
00:42:15.080 Large, multi-tons beams were hurled hundreds of yards laterally.
00:42:20.300 Gravity works vertically, not laterally.
00:42:22.960 The debunkers contend that the material ejected laterally was only the aluminum foil covering the structure, not the steel beams themselves.
00:42:30.700 These elements that are there, some say, are you going to realize that the poutres are several tons?
00:42:35.920 No, that's not the poutres that are several tons.
00:42:38.080 It's simply the parements that were planned on the tours, which were the aluminum plates that were glued on the poutres in acier.
00:42:45.760 The poutres in acier are there.
00:42:47.260 These are just very light things that have flown, like Matouillet at a cafe.
00:42:53.260 Voilà.
00:42:55.180 Voilà.
00:42:56.380 Kirant is mistaken.
00:42:57.940 The chunks of material being hurtled hundreds of feet away are not just aluminum covering.
00:43:02.840 They are the same prefabricated blocks of steel structure used to build the two towers.
00:43:16.140 In this case, a person who has remained attached to a block of columns falling
00:43:20.340 can give us an idea of the structural pieces being detached from the building.
00:43:25.300 Several large chunks of structure ended up embedded in buildings nearby.
00:43:31.220 David Chandler of Architects and Engineers has calculated the energy needed to hurdle some of these chunks of structure to such a distance from the buildings.
00:43:39.060 Using special software, we can analyze motion on video clips frame by frame.
00:43:45.060 I have placed markers on each frame so we can track a particular projectile.
00:43:49.140 From the markers, we can get a data table and plot various graphs.
00:43:54.580 The data here shows that the object we were tracking was shot horizontally at over 70 miles per hour.
00:44:01.540 The energy needed to hurl a 4-ton girder at this speed is comparable to the energy needed to hurl a 200-pound cannonball.
00:44:08.100 Question. Given that the falling upper sections of the towers had no additional energy to destroy the healthy structure below,
00:44:22.420 where did the energy to hurdle these large chunks of structure at such a distance from the towers come from?
00:44:27.700 Once the smoke had settled and the recovery work commenced, more evidence pointing at controlled demolitions started to emerge.
00:44:40.260 One example are the supporting columns cut at a 45-degree angle that were noticed sticking out of the ground.
00:44:47.380 This kind of cut is typical of controlled demolitions and is obtained by placing linear charges on the columns at a 45-degree angle.
00:44:56.100 This is a linear-shaped charge and it's wired in with the dynamite.
00:45:00.100 When it cuts, it'll cut this column right on this angle and then this piece will be deflected and displaced in that direction.
00:45:10.820 Oh, it's about to get crazy, guys.
00:45:19.540 Some of those cuts on the larger chunks of the structure called candlesticks were made by iron workers during the removal operations.
00:45:27.060 But cut columns were noticed on the very evening of September 11, far before the removal operations had started.
00:45:33.540 You know, this is the first day in a pile. You know, actually, it was on the 11th. It was 8 o'clock at night.
00:45:40.020 And we had a hunt for iron workers. But meanwhile, there was tons and tons of beams that were cut.
00:45:48.740 No acetylene to be had, nor iron workers to do the work.
00:45:52.820 It's just physically not possible to cut that much steel in that amount of time, especially with no one to operate the equipment.
00:45:59.540 It just didn't add up.
00:46:00.900 When asked about the presence of columns cut at a 45-degree angle, Danilo Coppe, Italy's foremost expert in controlled demolitions, stated,
00:46:08.660 I'll confess, this is extremely curious from a technical point of view, as this is a very similar result to the one obtained with cutting charges.
00:46:17.460 Another kind of cut commonly used in controlled demolitions is the so-called V-cut.
00:46:22.180 This little V here, it gives it a place to slide off. That's all it does.
00:46:26.260 Oh, shit. A woman on a yard. No, I'm just kidding.
00:46:29.860 Well, she's out here with the guys, man. 1%.
00:46:34.020 And by putting them on at this diagonal, we're trying to fill this structure in this direction.
00:46:37.780 A large V-cut is visible on this chunk of structure from Building 7.
00:46:42.340 The same chunk exhibits also a 45-degree angle diagonal cut on the cross beam with a lighter V-cut at the end of the other beam.
00:46:49.780 Can you suggest a good reason why iron workers would need to perform V-cuts and a 45-degree cut on this piece of structure just to remove it from the rubble?
00:46:58.980 Another element suggesting the use of explosives is the complete disappearance of the hat trusses, the large steel structures that connected and bound the towers from above.
00:47:11.220 The hat trusses covered an area of one acre in size and sat on the very top of each building.
00:47:16.420 There was nothing above that could have crushed them except for the antenna on the north tower, which in fact was supported by the hat truss.
00:47:24.100 If a simple gravitational collapse had occurred, one would expect to find the hat trusses sitting on top of the rubble, partially deformed maybe, but still recognizable.
00:47:35.620 Instead, both steel structures, each one acre in size, seem to have vanished into thin air.
00:47:41.060 From the hundreds of pictures taken at ground zero, including the aerial shots, no recognizable section of the hat trusses seems to be visible.
00:47:52.740 Curiously, the antenna from the north tower was found, deformed but still recognizable.
00:47:58.340 But the hat trusses which bound the towers together and supported the antenna seemed to have vanished completely.
00:48:03.860 Possibly the most important unexplained phenomenon at ground zero are the extremely high temperatures registered under the rubble for many weeks after the collapses.
00:48:17.140 On September 16, NASA shot these thermographic images of ground zero, indicating unusually high temperatures at the base of the three collapsed buildings.
00:48:26.660 Despite the heavy rains of September 14, the hotspots registered peak temperatures of more than 1300 degrees under the rubble.
00:48:35.540 Ten days later, the fires kept burning.
00:48:37.860 What's to explain, Governor, the smoke that still comes out of the fire?
00:48:41.860 There's still fire down below. There is such an incredibly deep pile of rubble, and the tower goes down five, six stories underground.
00:48:50.980 But we had ABC crews come back just in the last few minutes and telling us there are still flames coming out of the base of the trade towers.
00:48:59.940 For the rescue workers, this became an additional burden on their already gruesome task.
00:49:04.660 Out still on the rubble, it's still, I believe, 1100 degrees. The guys' boots just melt within a few hours.
00:49:13.620 On October 8, the hotspots under the three collapsed buildings remained clearly visible.
00:49:20.180 Six weeks later, as the excavations progressed, the situation seemed only to get worse.
00:49:25.380 Oh, it's unbelievable. And this is six weeks later, almost six weeks later.
00:49:29.060 And as we get closer to the center of this, it gets hotter and hotter. It's probably 1500 degrees.
00:49:34.580 We've had some small windows into what we thought was a bore at some point, and it looked like an oven.
00:49:41.220 You know, it was just roaring inside. It's just a bright, bright reddish-orange color.
00:49:45.940 The consequences of such extreme temperatures were quite visible on the steel that was being extracted from the rubble.
00:49:52.100 The grapplers were pulling stuff out, big sections of iron that were literally on fire on the other end.
00:49:59.540 They would hit the air and burst into flames, which was pretty spooky to see.
00:50:05.780 We would create an air pocket by moving steel, fueling the fires on the ground.
00:50:11.700 But, you know, these underground fires were just like the fires of hell.
00:50:14.980 If you could make a video of what you perceive hell to look like from fire shooting up at times,
00:50:21.300 that's what would happen. You would be in the middle of what would look like steel,
00:50:25.460 and then fire just would pop up. Firemen were coming out with the iron workers,
00:50:29.540 but their boots were really melting. And then the hose would come over,
00:50:32.340 and they would try to put that part out. I got there.
00:50:35.060 Charlie Vitchers was a supervisor of removal operations at Ground Zero.
00:50:39.620 From PBS's America Rebuilds page, we read,
00:50:42.980 Vitchers' crew picked up 40 to 60-foot-long pieces of steel impaled in the pile,
00:50:47.860 where the bottom 20 feet would be glowing red-hot.
00:50:50.820 Vitchers said trucks loaded with steel would pass by,
00:50:54.820 and you could feel the back of your neck burning, standing 20 feet away.
00:50:58.980 In an article called A Dangerous Works Site, the U.S. Department of Labor wrote,
00:51:03.380 underground fires burned at temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:51:07.620 This was confirmed by Mayor Giuliani.
00:51:09.620 There were fires of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit below the ground.
00:51:13.220 The Journal of the American Society of Safety Engineers wrote,
00:51:16.580 Thermal measurements taken by helicopter each day showed underground temperatures
00:51:21.300 ranging from 400 to more than 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:51:25.940 Eight weeks later, and the fires still had not subsided.
00:51:29.700 You see how this debris is still smoking?
00:51:32.660 That's when the fire is going to start burning.
00:51:35.940 Eight weeks later, we still got fires burning.
00:51:38.980 So, I mean, these things are burning.
00:51:40.420 At one point, I think they were about 2,800 degrees.
00:51:42.820 Eleven weeks later, and the fires kept burning.
00:51:46.740 As recently as the end of November, it was still 1,100 degrees down underneath the rubble.
00:51:53.300 As November turned into December, ice was noticed in the mornings above the ground,
00:51:57.700 but the debris underneath was still smoldering.
00:52:00.100 The weird thing was it was very cold when we were up there.
00:52:03.380 I believe it was in the middle of the winter, but the ground wasn't frozen.
00:52:07.300 The ground kind of like bubbled underneath your feet, which was kind of strange to me.
00:52:11.380 It took until December 19, more than three months after the collapses,
00:52:15.700 for the last underground fire to be extinguished.
00:52:19.860 The debunkers have suggested different possibilities for this unexplained phenomenon.
00:52:24.500 Neither of these, however, seems to be a valid answer.
00:52:45.940 In regards to the gasoline, the American Society of Safety Engineers wrote,
00:52:50.180 three underground floors had been used as a parking garage with a total capacity of 2,000 cars.
00:52:56.020 The cars were eventually located and removed.
00:52:58.900 Some had exploded and were completely burned out, while others were in pristine drivable condition.
00:53:04.500 The gasoline in a car either explodes or it remains inside the tank.
00:53:08.580 It does not leak out and go looking for fires to be fueled.
00:53:12.260 In regards to the generator tank, the Society of Safety Engineers wrote,
00:53:16.100 72,000 gallons of diesel fuel were stored in a tank on basement level 7.
00:53:21.140 The tank was eventually located and inspected.
00:53:23.780 Although slightly damaged, no leaks were found.
00:53:26.580 The fuel was removed.
00:53:28.900 Another proof of extremely high temperatures reached during the collapses are the...
00:53:33.060 Yeah, this was actually really weird how these things were bent like this.
00:53:36.820 I mean, extremely high temperatures were also strange as well.
00:53:39.620 I mean, think about that.
00:53:40.500 Months of 1,000 plus degree temperature.
00:53:43.620 That's wild.
00:53:44.660 The twisted and mangled steel beams found at ground zero.
00:53:48.260 Architects, engineers, people who work with steel,
00:53:51.460 welders have just never seen the level of destruction and the level of deformation of this material in our lives.
00:53:58.340 You saw steel, some of the thickest steel I've ever seen, bent like a pretzel.
00:54:05.940 This eight-ton steel eye beam is six inches thick.
00:54:10.260 It was selected to be preserved for future generations for the near-perfect horseshoe-like bend formed during the collapse.
00:54:17.540 I found it hard to believe that it actually bent because of the size of it and how there's no cracks in the iron.
00:54:23.540 It bent without almost a single crack in it.
00:54:25.700 It takes 1,000 degrees to bend steel like this.
00:54:28.580 In fact, the temperature of 2,800 degrees mentioned before is not casual at all,
00:54:33.860 as that's exactly the temperature at which steel melts.
00:54:37.300 And molten steel was repeatedly found under the rubble at ground zero.
00:54:41.540 You get down below and you see molten steel.
00:54:45.700 Molten steel running down the channel rails.
00:54:49.380 Like you're in a foundry.
00:54:51.140 Yeah.
00:54:51.380 Yeah.
00:54:52.340 Like lava.
00:54:52.500 Like lava.
00:54:53.460 Like lava.
00:54:53.540 Like lava.
00:54:53.620 Like lava.
00:54:53.700 Like lava.
00:54:53.780 Like lava.
00:54:54.260 Like lava.
00:54:54.340 Like lava.
00:54:54.820 Like lava.
00:54:55.780 Like lava.
00:54:56.260 Like lava.
00:54:56.660 The fires got very intense down there and actually melted beams where it was molten steel that was being dug out.
00:55:00.660 Just like they did for the explosions, the debunkers simply doubt the testimonies on molten steel as a whole.
00:55:06.340 I'm curious about the pool of molten steel that was found in the bottom of the tower.
00:55:22.900 I know of absolutely nobody, no eyewitness who said so, nobody who's produced it.
00:55:27.540 I was on the site.
00:55:28.500 I was on the steel yards.
00:55:29.860 So I can't, I don't know that that's so.
00:55:32.420 It is true.
00:55:33.220 Mr. Gross did visit the steel yards where the remnants of the towers had been collected.
00:55:37.860 But he must have been in a big hurry as he didn't even notice the high degree of deformation of massive steel beams sitting only a few feet away.
00:55:46.020 In any case, there are several highly credible witnesses who have reported the presence of molten steel at ground zero.
00:55:52.900 Rich Garlock, a structural engineer working at ground zero said,
00:55:56.580 Going below, it was smoky and really hot.
00:55:59.380 Here, World Trade Center 6 is over my head.
00:56:01.860 The debris past the columns was red hot, molten, running.
00:56:06.260 A supervisor from the National Environmental Health Association, Ron Berger, stated,
00:56:10.980 Feeling the heat, seeing the molten steel, the layers upon layers of ash, like lava, it reminded me of Mount St. Helens.
00:56:18.420 William Langevisha is the author of American Ground, a book containing detailed descriptions of the conditions at ground zero.
00:56:25.460 One passage mentions streams of molten metal that leaked from the hot cores and flowed down broken walls inside the foundation hole.
00:56:33.460 Greg Fushek, who provided the rescue workers with global positioning equipment, stated,
00:56:38.180 Sometimes when a worker would pull a steel beam from the wreckage, the end of the beam would be dripping molten steel.
00:56:44.420 Peter Tully of Tully Construction said that he saw pools of literally molten steel at the World Trade Center.
00:56:50.980 Mark Loiseau, president of Controlled Demolitions, Inc., was told by contractors at Ground Zero about hot spots of molten steel in the basements at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers.
00:57:03.300 Dr. Avalasan Astane, a professor of civil engineering at Berkeley University, examined the remains of the Twin Towers.
00:57:10.580 He said, I saw melting of girders at World Trade Center.
00:57:14.740 If you remember the Salvador Dali paintings with the clocks that are kind of melted, it's kind of like that.
00:57:20.500 That could only happen if you get steel yellow hot or white hot, perhaps around 2,000 degrees.
00:57:26.900 Possibly the most authoritative account of all comes from Leslie Robertson, the engineer who had built the Twin Towers.
00:57:33.540 We were down at the B-1 level, and one of the firefighters said, I think he'd be interested in this, and they pulled off a big block of concrete, and there was like a little river of steel out flowing.
00:57:48.020 Again, ignoring all these testimonies does not mean to have debunked the presence of molten steel below the rubble.
00:57:54.060 It just means turning a blind eye to what the actual situation at Ground Zero was after the collapse of the Twin Towers.
00:58:01.420 And there's more. Concrete normally doesn't melt in regular fires.
00:58:06.620 In fact, one of the reasons it's used in civil construction is its resilience to high temperatures.
00:58:11.980 Yet molten concrete was found at Ground Zero.
00:58:15.820 Preserved at the New York Police Museum, this artifact caption reads,
00:58:19.580 During recovery efforts, several handguns were found at Ground Zero, including these two cylindrical gun casing remains and a revolver embedded in concrete.
00:58:28.940 Fire temperatures were so intense that concrete melted like lava around anything in its path.
00:58:35.500 Some debunkers have argued that this cannot be molten concrete, as the higher melting point of concrete would have also melted the steel from the gun.
00:58:43.900 But the molten concrete could have already been cooling off by the time it encountered the guns, in which case it would not have melted them instantly.
00:58:51.180 Here, for example, is flowing lava from a volcano, which is in the process of cooling off after having reached the melting point.
00:58:58.140 As one can see, the lava surrounds the base of the trees without necessarily incinerating them at once.
00:59:03.820 In a hangar near Kennedy Airport sits another artifact, attesting to the extreme temperatures reached during the collapses.
00:59:10.780 This formation is really four separate stories of the World Trade Center.
00:59:16.780 Compressed, compacted, incinerated, exposed to temperatures as hot as the inner earth.
00:59:23.660 I never knew this existed.
00:59:26.060 Another of these artifacts, nicknamed the meteorite, contains both molten steel and molten concrete.
00:59:32.220 One of the more unusual artifacts to emerge from the rubble is this rock-like object that has come to be known as the meteorite.
00:59:39.660 It's this fused element of steel, molten steel and concrete and all of these things all fused by the heat into one single element.
00:59:49.500 As we know, for concrete to melt, a temperature of several thousand degrees is needed, and the result will be much the same as the lava that comes out of volcanoes.
00:59:57.820 And almost like a chunk of lava from Kilauea or Iceland, where they're very sharp but breakable shards on the end here.
01:00:06.700 Question. Given that most of the jet fuel was burned after the impacts, given that only office fires were burning at the time of the collapses,
01:00:14.380 and given that no major source of combustible seems to have been available underground, can you offer a comprehensive explanation for the temperatures up to 2800 degrees reported at ground zero,
01:00:25.260 for the long-lasting fires underground, for the incandescent beams repeatedly extracted from the rubble,
01:00:31.100 for the massive steel beams bent like a pretzel, for the molten steel and the molten concrete observed and found at ground zero as caused by the office fires and the gravitational collapses only?
01:00:44.380 Question. The last set of evidence against a gravitational collapse is the almost complete pulverization of all the contents of the Twin Towers,
01:00:52.620 beginning with the concrete floors. Had a simple gravitational collapse occurred, one would expect to find 110 floors pretty much stacked up on each other,
01:01:01.980 like it happens in regular collapses. In the case of the Twin Towers instead, practically all the concrete from the 110 floors of both buildings was literally pulverized.
01:01:12.380 What happened to the concrete? The concrete was pulverized, and I was down here Tuesday, and it was like you were on a foreign planet.
01:01:19.820 All of lower Manhattan, not just this site, from river to river, there was dust powder, two, three inches thick. The concrete was just pulverized.
01:01:29.900 What do you think this is? I have no idea. What your guess is? Pulverizing it.
01:01:37.340 Pulverizing it? The concrete? The concrete. The concrete wasn't the only part of the buildings that was pulverized during the collapses.
01:01:43.900 We're talking here about 43,600 windows, 600,000 square feet of glass, 200,000 tons of structural steel, 5 million square feet of gypsum, 6 acres of marble, and 425,000 cubic yards of concrete, turned in good part into a cloud.
01:02:05.820 And then, there were the contents of 110 floors of office space from each tower. It's hard to picture literally thousands of computers, desks, chairs, telephones, printers, and other office furnishings, floor over floor over floor, all enclosed in one building.
01:02:22.820 This was one of the trading rooms of the World Trade Center. Had the floors simply collapsed on each other, all these things would have later emerged from the rubble, definitely crushed and torn, but still recognizable. Almost none of that was found.
01:02:36.580 There wasn't much that you could say, you could describe. Everything was, uh, everything was dust and metal. There was, there was no typewriters, there was no chairs, there was no, there was no nothing. Everything had been crushed.
01:02:52.460 Everything was pulverized. Everything was pulverized. There was, you know, there were no desks, there were no phones, there were, you know, maybe now and then you find a fragment of something, but basically everything was just pulverized.
01:03:05.640 There wasn't a computer screen, a laptop that, uh, there was no office. I mean, it was, you know, two 110-story buildings of office equipment.
01:03:17.480 You don't find a chair. You don't find a telephone, a computer. The biggest piece of a telephone I found was half of the keypad, and it was about this big.
01:03:28.660 It was devastation. There wasn't one thing that resembled an office building, and this was the biggest office building in the world.
01:03:33.800 That I haven't seen a door, I haven't seen a phone, I haven't seen a computer, I haven't seen a doorknob. I think that stands out for me.
01:03:40.740 Another thing that stands out is the complete absence of filing cabinets from the rubble. With two towers filled with offices from top to bottom, there should have been thousands of them of every shape, size, and color.
01:03:52.840 Only one was found, and it was definitely not in good condition.
01:03:56.420 Perhaps the most astonishing object Shate found is something there should have been thousands of. This one probably only survived because it was in the basement.
01:04:05.880 I had pretty much given up trying to find some sort of intact file cabinet, but while I was at the compound for the Port Authority Police, this ball of metal about the size of a basketball was delivered to them.
01:04:17.260 You can see what remains of the file folders.
01:04:22.520 The concrete floors, the furniture, the computers, and the file cabinets weren't the only things missing after the collapses.
01:04:31.740 The twin towers were also filled with people.
01:04:35.000 Inexplicably, though, almost half of the victim's bodies seem to have disappeared into thin air.
01:04:40.620 When a building collapses, the victims tend to remain trapped between the pancaking floors.
01:04:46.260 They may be crushed and mangled, but in most cases they remain in one piece.
01:04:50.300 In fact, on the morning of September 11, local hospitals prepared to receive hundreds of victims they expected to be extracted from the rubble.
01:04:59.620 Practically no one arrived.
01:05:02.460 Yeah, that's really weird.
01:05:04.820 That's really, really weird.
01:05:06.440 According to the chief medical examiner, 2,749 victims died in the Twin Towers, but fewer than 300 whole bodies were recovered.
01:05:14.640 Nearly 20,000 pieces of bodies were found in the ruins, more than 6,000 small enough to fit in 5-inch test tubes.
01:05:23.080 200 different pieces were matched to a single person.
01:05:26.700 1,630 victims were eventually identified, 800 of which by DNA alone.
01:05:33.200 This means that for 800 victims, there were no body parts large enough to be recognizable.
01:05:37.920 The remaining 1,119 victims were never identified.
01:05:44.200 This means that for more than 40% of the victims, not even a fragment large enough to recover DNA was found.
01:05:51.540 For Joyce and Russell Mercer, there is no trace of the son they lost on 9-11, firefighter Scott Kapitko.
01:05:58.600 You can't go to a cemetery.
01:06:00.460 Can't put flowers down.
01:06:01.460 Personally, I lost a cousin in the building and never found his remains.
01:06:08.220 He was on the 100th floor of Tower 1 and they never found his anything or any remnants.
01:06:13.000 Patricia Riley recovered her sister Lorraine's handbag, but nothing of her body.
01:06:17.900 Lorraine has a tombstone at the cemetery, but she isn't there.
01:06:21.640 1,100 victims completely unaccounted for.
01:06:25.220 In other words, no pieces large enough to gain any DNA from.
01:06:29.180 Can fire and a gravitational collapse account for this massive pulverization of people?
01:06:37.940 This map by the New York Fire Department shows the locations around the towers where human remains were found.
01:06:44.840 Yellow circles are body parts from civilians.
01:06:47.660 Red triangles are from firefighters.
01:06:50.200 The very distance at which some of the body parts were found remains inexplicable with a simple gravitational collapse.
01:06:56.460 In fact, fragments of human remains continue to emerge from ground zero for many years after the attacks.
01:07:03.300 Human remains were found at the World Trade Center site on Wednesday.
01:07:06.660 Crews made the discovery at 11 Water Street.
01:07:09.140 Another four possible remains were found at the whole road excavation site.
01:07:12.620 The ME is also investigating other remains that were found about two weeks ago on the roof of 90 West Street.
01:07:17.960 Construction workers found nine pieces of bone and tissue on a 20th floor scaffolding on this building on West Street.
01:07:24.260 Workers have found 65 potential human remains at the World Trade Center site over the last couple of days.
01:07:29.940 The medical examiner's office says they were recovered from the Liberty Street section of the site.
01:07:34.880 Then, in 2006, came the biggest surprise.
01:07:37.820 Demolition workers found 74 new bone fragments on the roof of the Deutsche Bank building over the weekend.
01:07:45.900 That's the most found since the end of major recovery operations at the site.
01:07:49.860 The number of fragments found on the roof of the Deutsche Bank kept increasing by the day.
01:07:54.320 Crews continue to find human bone fragments on the roof of the Deutsche Bank building next to the Trade Center site.
01:07:59.560 The medical examiner's office says 142 fragments were found, bringing to 598 the total number of fragments found in the building.
01:08:06.540 Eventually, more than 700 bone fragments were recovered from the Deutsche Bank building.
01:08:10.660 USA Today wrote,
01:08:12.620 The bone fragments are tiny, some the size of a pinky nail.
01:08:17.080 Some debunkers have suggested that the bone fragments could have reached the roof of the Deutsche Bank after the impact of American 11,
01:08:23.540 as some debris exited the opposite side of the tower in a southerly direction.
01:08:28.400 But the view of the Deutsche Bank was blocked by the South Tower at the time of impact,
01:08:32.800 and there was no direct line between the exit hole in the North Tower and the roof of the Deutsche Bank.
01:08:37.540 Furthermore, as seen in this map, the body parts found on the roof belonged not only to civilians,
01:08:43.780 but also to firefighters, who were clearly not present in the North Tower at the time of impact.
01:08:50.120 Question.
01:08:50.600 Can you explain how a simple gravitational collapse, where the bodies remain trapped between pancaking floors,
01:08:57.520 could have produced more than 20,000 body parts out of 2,700 victims,
01:09:02.120 while more than 1,100 bodies left no fragments large enough to extract a DNA sample?
01:09:08.580 Can you explain how a simple gravitational collapse,
01:09:11.760 could have produced the bone fragments and body parts from civilians and firefighters,
01:09:16.840 that were recovered from the roof of the Deutsche Bank building?
01:09:20.920 Those tough questions, man!
01:09:24.120 At this point, we can summarize the evidence for a gravitational collapse.
01:09:28.020 All right, guys, pay attention.
01:09:29.160 They're going to go through everything here.
01:09:30.680 This is a really good recap that they're about to do.
01:09:32.780 So let's get into the theory.
01:09:42.160 And compare it with the one for controlled demolitions.
01:09:45.620 The official explanation for the initial collapse, or sagging trusses theory,
01:09:49.520 is fundamentally flawed for at least three reasons.
01:09:52.620 There is no evidence that the fireproofing was widely dislodged from the steel trusses.
01:09:56.580 No evidence for temperatures high enough to seriously weaken the steel,
01:10:00.340 and no valid explanation on how the trusses could have pulled and broken the external structure on their own.
01:10:06.640 At the same time, the initial collapse is fully compatible with a controlled demolition.
01:10:11.500 The official explanation for the total collapse of the Twin Towers does not exist,
01:10:15.820 nor was a scientific calculation ever attempted by NIST, as they have repeatedly acknowledged.
01:10:20.960 At the same time, the full collapse of the buildings is fully compatible with a controlled demolition.
01:10:25.840 The vertical acceleration of the upper sections to near-freefall speed makes it impossible to explain
01:10:31.880 the collapses by gravitation only, without violating at least two fundamental laws of physics.
01:10:37.300 At the same time, the near-freefall acceleration achieved by the collapsing towers
01:10:41.240 is fully compatible with a controlled demolition.
01:10:43.700 The amount of witnesses who reported powerful explosions and the ensuing devastation in the Twin Towers is overwhelming.
01:10:50.540 Such explosions cannot be explained by jet fuel alone, while they are fully compatible with a controlled demolition.
01:10:56.920 The squibs observed 30 and 40 floors below the level of collapse cannot be explained by the air pressure in a gravitational collapse.
01:11:04.360 At the same time, squibs are the typical signature of controlled demolitions.
01:11:08.320 Not all the diagonal cuts and V-cuts observed on the columns at Ground Zero can be explained by the removal operations.
01:11:15.900 At the same time, these kind of cuts are another typical signature of controlled demolitions.
01:11:21.320 The large area of debris around the towers, with the lateral ejection of elements weighing several tons,
01:11:27.040 cannot be explained by a gravitational collapse.
01:11:29.920 At the same time, these ejections are fully compatible with the use of powerful explosives.
01:11:34.600 The long-lasting fires, the extreme temperatures under the rubble,
01:11:39.440 the incandescent beams extracted during the cleanup,
01:11:42.060 the high degree of deformation of massive steel beams,
01:11:45.120 the molten steel and molten concrete observed and found at Ground Zero
01:11:48.640 cannot be explained by jet fuel alone, nor by regular office fires.
01:11:53.420 Highly effective, destructive devices capable of developing extremely high temperatures
01:11:57.880 must have been used as part of a controlled demolition.
01:12:00.540 The almost complete pulverization of the contents of both towers,
01:12:04.500 from the concrete floors to the office furnishings to the actual vaporization of victims' bodies,
01:12:09.960 cannot be explained by a simple gravitational collapse.
01:12:13.220 At the same time, these results are fully compatible with the presence of powerful explosives,
01:12:18.340 such as those used in controlled demolitions.
01:12:20.580 Unless a comprehensive, scientifically sound explanation for all the phenomena observed is presented,
01:12:27.420 the only conclusion available is that the Twin Towers were brought down by some form of controlled demolition.
01:12:33.100 After they published their report on the Twin Towers,
01:12:40.640 NIST moved on to tackle the collapse of Building 7.
01:12:43.980 What they faced was no easy task.
01:12:46.820 Contrary to the Twin Towers, Building 7 had not been hit by an airplane.
01:12:50.760 It was only partially damaged by the collapse of the North Tower,
01:12:53.740 and it suffered fires that were anything but devastating.
01:12:56.780 Nothing could have suggested it was going to collapse.
01:12:59.320 On the other hand, it looked like the perfect controlled demolition.
01:13:04.040 It featured the sudden onset of the collapse,
01:13:06.480 the rapid acceleration towards the ground,
01:13:08.680 the symmetrical descent of the structure,
01:13:10.800 and it even appeared to have started the collapse from the bottom,
01:13:13.880 as most controlled demolitions do.
01:13:16.600 Professionals in the field of controlled demolitions,
01:13:18.880 such as Dutchman Danny Yuenko,
01:13:20.800 seem to have no doubt on what had happened.
01:13:22.920 This is controlled demolition.
01:13:25.200 Absolutely.
01:13:26.040 Absolutely.
01:13:26.420 There is a lot of power.
01:13:28.640 There is an event that happened.
01:13:32.000 It has done a team of experts.
01:13:33.860 We know very well what they do, the boys.
01:13:36.340 Do you see them going up?
01:13:37.520 No, they're going down.
01:13:38.960 They're going down.
01:13:39.500 They're going down.
01:13:40.000 Yes.
01:13:40.520 They just blew out the columns.
01:13:42.860 They're gone.
01:13:44.320 Similar comments were made by TV anchors,
01:13:46.820 watching the replay of the collapse.
01:13:48.480 It's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen too much on television before,
01:13:52.480 when a building was deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down.
01:13:56.560 In spite of what seemed obvious to everyone,
01:13:59.820 NIST came up with an absolute historical first.
01:14:02.840 New York City, 2001.
01:14:05.720 No tall building had ever collapsed primarily due to fire.
01:14:10.000 But that's exactly what investigators believe happened
01:14:13.040 to the 47-story World Trade Center Building 7 on September 11th.
01:14:18.160 World Trade Center 7 collapsed because of fires.
01:14:21.300 We really have a new kind of progressive collapse that we have discovered here,
01:14:25.840 which is a fire-induced progressive collapse.
01:14:28.280 According to NIST, the collapse was triggered by the failure of one specific column,
01:14:32.580 number 79, located in the northeastern section of the building.
01:14:35.940 NIST blamed thermal expansion as the phenomenon that caused the collapse,
01:14:51.540 which was also an absolute first in history.
01:14:54.280 Our study has identified thermal expansion
01:14:56.880 as a new phenomenon that can cause the collapse of a structure.
01:15:00.940 For the first time, we have shown that fire can induce a progressive collapse.
01:15:07.540 Coming from such a reputable organization,
01:15:09.880 these kinds of statements should have sent shockwaves through the architectural world.
01:15:13.840 What they're telling us is that our existing building codes,
01:15:17.420 to which thousands of skyscrapers are currently designed,
01:15:20.960 there's a serious problem.
01:15:23.340 If NIST's findings were true,
01:15:25.000 hundreds of skyscrapers from all over the world
01:15:27.340 would suddenly be in danger of a collapse due to fire.
01:15:31.100 This should have called for the immediate suspension of all high-rise constructions,
01:15:35.520 widespread verifications in all existing skyscrapers,
01:15:38.740 and a serious revision of fire codes and safety regulations for the new ones to be built.
01:15:44.140 None of that has happened.
01:15:46.860 Steel skyscrapers have continued to be built just as usual.
01:15:50.560 The ones that caught fire, even when fully engulfed in flames,
01:15:54.060 have continued to remain standing.
01:15:55.800 And not one of the basic tenets of fire protection has been modified
01:15:59.760 when it comes to designing high-rise steel buildings.
01:16:03.760 At the same time, it should be noted that NIST's report on Building 7
01:16:07.480 was never published by a peer-reviewed publication.
01:16:10.820 This means their analysis of the collapse cannot be validated from a scientific point of view.
01:16:15.380 Even though this was an unprecedented event in history,
01:16:19.340 we are being asked by NIST to take their word for the soundness of their conclusions.
01:16:23.920 It's based on sound science.
01:16:26.080 Yeah, NIST definitely.
01:16:27.180 And they were one of the main contributors to the official narrative on the Warren Commission.
01:16:35.940 And I mean, I'm not going to lie, guys.
01:16:37.500 It's not the Warren Commission.
01:16:38.600 Excuse me.
01:16:39.380 The 9-11 Commission.
01:16:40.440 The Warren Commission, I think, was with JFK.
01:16:42.320 But yeah, I mean, lots of L's here, man.
01:16:44.820 I mean, there's architects all over the country that don't agree with NIST findings
01:16:48.900 and think it doesn't make sense.
01:16:51.820 So it is what it is, man.
01:16:53.620 Can't dispute science.
01:16:54.880 It is consistent with all the observations we have.
01:16:57.660 But it has never happened before, right?
01:16:59.860 But the physics is consistent.
01:17:02.440 It's sound.
01:17:03.400 It's been analyzed.
01:17:04.740 And we have the results.
01:17:05.980 And we are very comfortable with our findings.
01:17:09.520 They might have been comfortable.
01:17:11.040 But the scientific community of architects and engineers was not.
01:17:14.380 Science is never secret when it's done right.
01:17:17.880 Science isn't science unless it's published,
01:17:19.860 unless it's openly published and made available for criticism.
01:17:23.820 Architects and engineers has asked NIST to at least verify the computer model
01:17:28.160 on which they've based their theory of the collapse.
01:17:31.100 But also in this case, NIST has refused to make their data public.
01:17:34.800 Structural engineers rail against NIST because they refuse to show the visualization.
01:17:39.840 It's a black box.
01:17:41.660 You cannot download any of this data.
01:17:43.500 This means that also for the accuracy of their computer model,
01:17:46.760 we have to take NIST's word for it.
01:17:48.680 Here's our structural model showing the building collapsing,
01:17:52.100 which matches quite well with the video of the event.
01:17:55.880 This is the video of the event.
01:17:58.840 On the right is one of the two animations released by NIST on the collapse of Building 7.
01:18:03.660 When you observe the footage of how the building failed,
01:18:05.740 and when you look at the animation of the failure,
01:18:09.000 and compare that to what you actually observe in reality,
01:18:13.120 I think they disproved their own theories.
01:18:15.460 It is impossible for it to fail the way they said.
01:18:18.080 The second animation released by NIST is even more inconsistent with the real event.
01:18:22.580 While the animation shows a pronounced inward bending of the top of the structure,
01:18:27.420 the video footage shows the entire top section of the building maintaining its shape
01:18:31.740 all the way through the visible part of the collapse.
01:18:34.840 This can be verified by different angles.
01:18:37.960 If this is what NIST calls matching quite well,
01:18:41.100 one can imagine what the reliability of their entire report can be.
01:18:44.340 A similar problem is presented by the computer model NIST has used
01:18:49.120 to simulate the progression of the fires in the building.
01:18:52.340 This computer model was developed by NIST,
01:18:54.560 and no one has been allowed to verify it.
01:18:56.900 Again, we are being asked by NIST to trust them on its validity.
01:19:00.760 We use a well-validated computer program developed at NIST
01:19:04.220 for studying the growth and spread of fires
01:19:06.540 to calculate temperatures throughout the building.
01:19:10.100 On the right in this slide, for example,
01:19:12.300 you'll see a detailed fire simulation showing the temperature of fires
01:19:16.600 as they grew and spread on floor 12.
01:19:19.540 The graphic shows the temperatures in floor 12 rising after 1 p.m.
01:19:23.600 and peaking around 4 p.m. on the northeastern side of the building.
01:19:28.020 But the same picture NIST has published in their report,
01:19:30.700 which was taken between 3.49 and 3.54 p.m.,
01:19:34.460 shows that the fires have already died off
01:19:36.600 across the entire eastern section of the 12th floor.
01:19:39.360 A similar picture taken between 3.53 and 4.02 p.m.
01:19:43.860 confirms that the fires on the eastern side of the 12th floor
01:19:46.880 had already died off.
01:19:49.100 NIST itself has stated in the same page
01:19:51.300 that there is no indication of fires burning
01:19:53.920 on the east side of the 12th floor at this time.
01:19:57.280 In other words, the accuracy of NIST's computer model
01:20:00.180 doesn't even need to be verified,
01:20:02.160 as it's disproven by the very pictures and statements
01:20:04.800 NIST has published in their own report.
01:20:06.800 In order to justify the first and only collapse
01:20:10.900 in the history of a skyscraper steel due to fire,
01:20:13.640 the debunkers have maintained that Building 7
01:20:15.780 was weaker than the average steel structure
01:20:18.100 because it had been built over an existing electrical substation.
01:20:21.460 One of the particularities of this Tour 7
01:20:24.140 is that it was built on an existing building
01:20:28.340 which is an electrical substation
01:20:30.720 which was built in the 1960s
01:20:32.260 while the Tour 7 was built in the 1980s.
01:20:35.360 We'll see that this was one of the reasons
01:20:36.840 of the ruin of this building.
01:20:38.880 The building was extremely unconventional.
01:20:41.280 It had this giant Con Ed substation
01:20:43.700 with enormous trusses carrying extraordinarily high loads,
01:20:47.080 very vulnerable to fire and other kinds of damage.
01:20:50.260 But NIST itself has refuted this possibility.
01:20:52.980 From the final report, we read,
01:20:54.500 The transfer elements such as trusses, girders,
01:20:57.620 and cantilever overhangs
01:20:58.980 that were used to support the office building
01:21:01.200 over the Con Edison substation
01:21:03.080 did not play a significant role
01:21:05.060 in the collapse of World Trade Center 7.
01:21:07.360 In fact, it was the opposite.
01:21:09.540 After it was completed,
01:21:10.820 Larry Silverstein had the building reinforced
01:21:13.000 beyond its requirements
01:21:14.280 in order to accommodate the needs
01:21:16.080 of its main tenant, Solomon Brothers.
01:21:18.820 From this 1989 New York Times article, we read,
01:21:22.220 Solomon Brothers intends to spend nearly two years
01:21:25.120 and more than $200 million
01:21:26.620 cutting out floors, adding elevators,
01:21:29.380 reinforcing steel girders,
01:21:31.060 upgrading power supplies,
01:21:32.420 and making other improvements
01:21:33.540 in its million square feet of space.
01:21:36.440 We built in enough redundancy
01:21:37.800 to allow entire portions of floors
01:21:39.880 to be removed without affecting
01:21:41.680 the building's structural integrity,
01:21:43.760 said Larry Silverstein, president of the company.
01:21:46.640 More than 375 tons of steel
01:21:49.240 requiring 12 miles of welding
01:21:51.180 will be installed to reinforce floors
01:21:53.340 for Solomon's extra equipment.
01:21:56.420 If there was one skyscraper in the world
01:21:58.720 that should have never collapsed due to fire,
01:22:00.980 it was Building 7.
01:22:02.100 Yeah.
01:22:03.440 While NIST has been unable
01:22:04.840 to come up with a valid explanation for it.
01:22:06.980 And guys, on the last episode,
01:22:08.260 we talked more about Larry Silverstein
01:22:09.700 and him, you know,
01:22:11.280 renting out Building 7, et cetera,
01:22:12.680 a.k.a. his three towers.
01:22:13.880 Go check that last episode out,
01:22:15.760 Conspiracy Theory Part 2.
01:22:16.720 Collapsed due to fire,
01:22:18.480 there are at least three good reasons
01:22:20.080 why such a collapse
01:22:21.080 could not have happened in any case.
01:22:24.260 One is the widespread pre-knowledge of the event.
01:22:27.640 As we have said before,
01:22:28.980 the collapse of a steel structure due to fire
01:22:31.180 is considered an absolute impossibility
01:22:33.560 in the architectural world.
01:22:35.060 Steel structural frame buildings,
01:22:37.580 high-rise buildings,
01:22:39.040 simply do not collapse due to fire.
01:22:41.460 We've never had a steel-framed skyscraper collapse
01:22:44.980 in the United States or internationally.
01:22:47.700 No high-rise steel structure
01:22:49.160 has ever been destroyed by a fire
01:22:51.100 in the history of construction.
01:22:53.380 Consequently, if Building 7
01:22:55.040 was truly brought down by fire,
01:22:56.940 it would have been a totally unexpected event,
01:22:59.320 which would have taken everyone by surprise.
01:23:01.880 It turns out instead
01:23:03.320 that dozens of policemen, firemen,
01:23:05.740 and first responders had been warned
01:23:07.760 that the building was going to come down
01:23:09.720 as early as five hours before it happened.
01:23:12.160 All I can attest to is that by noon or one o'clock,
01:23:15.120 they told us we had to move from that triage site
01:23:17.720 up to Pace University, a little further away,
01:23:20.760 because Building 7 was going to come down
01:23:23.540 or being brought down.
01:23:25.680 Did they actually use the word brought down?
01:23:28.320 And who was it that was telling you this?
01:23:29.780 The fire department.
01:23:30.980 The fire department.
01:23:32.020 And they did use the word,
01:23:34.000 we're going to have to bring it down.
01:23:35.500 Firemen also had been warned
01:23:36.960 of the impending collapse.
01:23:38.160 Firemen Holowack,
01:23:39.860 we were just hanging out
01:23:41.100 until Tower 7 came down.
01:23:43.480 Firemen Sweeney,
01:23:44.520 we stood and waited
01:23:45.560 for World Trade Center 7 to come down.
01:23:48.500 By 4 p.m., CNN had already picked up the rumor
01:23:51.320 and was spreading it around the world.
01:23:53.220 We are getting information now
01:23:54.600 that one of the other buildings,
01:23:56.080 Building 7,
01:23:57.300 in the World Trade Center complex,
01:23:59.000 is on fire
01:23:59.680 and has either collapsed or is collapsing.
01:24:02.380 At 5 o'clock,
01:24:03.960 the BBC announced that the building
01:24:05.520 had already collapsed,
01:24:06.680 even though it was still standing in the background.
01:24:08.880 Jane Stanley.
01:24:09.760 Jane, what more can you tell us
01:24:11.080 about the Salomon Brothers building
01:24:12.800 and its collapse?
01:24:14.000 As you can see behind me...
01:24:15.640 At 5 o'clock,
01:24:16.740 Building 7 can clearly be seen
01:24:18.480 on the right of the picture.
01:24:19.900 But the BBC correspondent,
01:24:21.780 who was obviously unfamiliar with the landscape,
01:24:24.120 didn't recognize it.
01:24:25.780 This has fueled ludicrous conspiracy theories,
01:24:28.620 which accused the mainstream media
01:24:30.240 of having been informed in advance
01:24:32.140 of what was going to happen on September 11.
01:24:34.920 In truth,
01:24:35.580 this incident only confirms
01:24:36.940 that the information
01:24:37.840 on the impending collapse
01:24:39.120 had been circulating long enough
01:24:40.680 in downtown Manhattan
01:24:41.700 to have already reached the BBC,
01:24:43.700 even before it happened.
01:24:45.560 At about the same time,
01:24:46.860 when CNN recorded the explosions
01:24:48.640 near Building 7,
01:24:49.740 they also captured the police,
01:24:51.320 clearing the area
01:24:52.080 and announcing the collapse.
01:24:53.360 This is the account
01:25:14.620 by a paramedic
01:25:15.520 who witnessed the collapse.
01:25:16.680 You know, we heard this sound
01:25:18.520 that sounded like a collapse of thunder.
01:25:20.320 Turned around,
01:25:20.960 we were shocked to see
01:25:21.980 that the building was,
01:25:23.860 well, it looked like
01:25:24.580 there was a shockwave
01:25:25.860 ripping through the building
01:25:27.600 and the windows all busted out
01:25:30.260 and, you know,
01:25:30.860 it was horrifying.
01:25:32.380 Then, you know,
01:25:33.640 about a second later,
01:25:34.460 the bottom floor caves out
01:25:35.820 and the building followed after that
01:25:38.640 and we saw the building crash down
01:25:41.100 all the way to the ground.
01:25:42.140 There's even someone
01:25:42.900 who heard a countdown
01:25:43.860 moments before the building collapsed.
01:25:46.680 First responder Kevin McPatton
01:25:48.280 was stationed near Building 7.
01:25:49.880 I know all the conspiracy theorists
01:25:51.260 people right now are going crazy
01:25:52.420 because this is what
01:25:53.060 everyone always tells me.
01:25:53.900 Yo, Building 7,
01:25:54.820 Myron, Building 7!
01:26:00.820 Waiting for orders
01:26:01.760 from a Red Cross representative.
01:26:03.320 He kept asking the Red Cross rep,
01:26:05.100 what's going on?
01:26:05.720 What's going on?
01:26:06.820 And all the time,
01:26:08.000 he had his hand over the radio
01:26:09.640 while he was getting a countdown.
01:26:11.380 And then he's just like,
01:26:12.200 at the last three seconds,
01:26:13.240 he takes his hand off
01:26:14.260 and you hear three, two, one.
01:26:16.160 And he had this, like,
01:26:17.800 heartbroken face.
01:26:18.780 He's just like,
01:26:19.580 just run for your life.
01:26:21.340 It was about a second or two
01:26:22.960 after the countdown ended
01:26:25.520 that you started hearing
01:26:27.120 the explosions.
01:26:29.480 Explosions.
01:26:30.140 Now, we're talking about bombs
01:26:31.800 because, you know,
01:26:32.680 you get that, like,
01:26:33.420 bam!
01:26:34.240 You know,
01:26:34.460 there's, like,
01:26:34.880 a little explosion
01:26:35.860 and then the force.
01:26:37.460 And then, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
01:26:40.940 That was the building coming down.
01:26:42.760 Question.
01:26:45.100 Given that the collapse
01:26:46.020 of a steel skyscraper
01:26:47.220 due to fire
01:26:47.880 would have been
01:26:48.560 an unprecedented event,
01:26:50.260 how could so many people
01:26:51.480 have known about it
01:26:52.420 so many hours in advance?
01:26:54.760 If the police clearing the area
01:26:56.440 expected a structural failure
01:26:58.000 due to fire,
01:26:58.920 why would they use
01:26:59.700 such an expression as
01:27:00.840 the building is about to blow up?
01:27:03.280 Can you explain
01:27:04.060 how an unprecedented,
01:27:05.400 totally unexpected collapse
01:27:06.820 due to fire
01:27:07.520 could be predicted
01:27:08.360 with absolute precision
01:27:09.680 by an actual countdown?
01:27:10.940 The second reason
01:27:13.740 that makes the official explanation
01:27:15.280 by NIST untenable
01:27:16.560 is the symmetry of the collapse.
01:27:18.360 Oh, yeah, this is crazy.
01:27:20.020 As we have seen before,
01:27:21.700 the entire top section
01:27:22.960 of the building
01:27:23.500 falls as a single piece,
01:27:25.380 maintaining
01:27:25.820 an almost perfect symmetry
01:27:27.340 as it descends
01:27:28.340 towards the ground.
01:27:29.480 The symmetry
01:27:30.100 is the smoking gun.
01:27:31.880 It cannot happen
01:27:32.880 that when you have
01:27:34.620 asymmetric damage,
01:27:36.040 you will get
01:27:36.860 a perfectly symmetrical collapse.
01:27:39.240 And all you need to do
01:27:40.280 is look at the videos
01:27:41.020 and see that.
01:27:41.800 The exterior columns
01:27:42.660 on the outside
01:27:43.580 as well as on the inside
01:27:45.180 at the bottom
01:27:46.480 would have to be severed
01:27:47.380 almost at the same time.
01:27:48.940 In order for the perimeter
01:27:50.540 to fall perfectly
01:27:53.160 and symmetrically,
01:27:54.520 which it pretty much does
01:27:56.160 at Building 7,
01:27:58.080 all of those columns
01:27:59.820 have to be removed
01:28:01.320 within a tenth of a second
01:28:03.080 of each other.
01:28:03.800 Question.
01:28:04.620 Can you explain
01:28:05.380 how the almost simultaneous
01:28:06.780 removal of all the columns,
01:28:08.400 which was necessary
01:28:09.260 for Building 7
01:28:10.080 to collapse
01:28:10.660 in the way it did,
01:28:11.620 can be caused
01:28:12.240 by fire alone?
01:28:14.620 The last
01:28:15.580 and possibly most conclusive
01:28:16.940 piece of evidence
01:28:17.720 against the official explanation
01:28:19.300 is freefall.
01:28:20.880 After the initial failure
01:28:21.940 of the penthouse
01:28:22.700 on the eastern side
01:28:23.580 of the building,
01:28:24.240 the entire structure
01:28:25.140 came crashing down
01:28:26.160 to the ground
01:28:26.720 in a little more
01:28:27.480 than six seconds.
01:28:28.380 David Chandler
01:28:35.040 of Architects
01:28:35.720 and Engineers
01:28:36.300 has measured
01:28:37.040 the downwards acceleration
01:28:38.160 of the building
01:28:38.940 from the start
01:28:39.600 of the global collapse.
01:28:40.740 We can measure
01:28:41.200 the acceleration
01:28:41.980 of Building 7
01:28:42.800 by video analysis.
01:28:45.080 The slope
01:28:45.700 of the velocity graph
01:28:46.860 gives the acceleration.
01:28:48.740 Note that global collapse
01:28:49.960 starts suddenly
01:28:50.860 and for the next
01:28:51.640 2.5 seconds
01:28:52.900 the building accelerates
01:28:54.160 at the rate
01:28:54.560 of 9.88 meters
01:28:56.280 per second squared.
01:28:58.020 In other words,
01:28:59.000 the rate of collapse
01:29:00.140 of World Trade Center
01:29:01.220 Building 7
01:29:01.940 over the first
01:29:03.140 2.5 seconds
01:29:04.400 is literally
01:29:05.160 indistinguishable
01:29:06.160 from freefall
01:29:06.960 in a vacuum.
01:29:07.780 When architects
01:29:08.320 and engineers
01:29:09.000 presented NIST
01:29:09.840 with these calculations,
01:29:11.240 they forced them
01:29:11.920 to correct
01:29:12.360 their preliminary report
01:29:13.620 and acknowledge
01:29:14.280 the freefall
01:29:14.960 of the building
01:29:15.460 for the first
01:29:16.100 eight stories
01:29:16.840 of the collapse.
01:29:18.300 From NIST's
01:29:19.280 final report,
01:29:20.080 we read,
01:29:20.740 a more detailed analysis
01:29:22.000 of the descent
01:29:22.740 of the north face
01:29:23.700 found three stages.
01:29:25.580 The first
01:29:25.960 was a slow descent
01:29:27.000 with acceleration
01:29:27.840 less than that
01:29:28.800 of gravity
01:29:29.320 that corresponded
01:29:30.420 to the buckling
01:29:31.080 of the exterior columns
01:29:32.420 at the lower floors.
01:29:34.100 The second stage
01:29:35.060 was a freefall descent
01:29:36.940 over approximately
01:29:37.880 eight stories
01:29:38.780 at gravitational acceleration
01:29:40.540 for approximately
01:29:41.520 2.25 seconds.
01:29:43.720 2.25 seconds
01:29:45.120 is more than
01:29:45.880 one-third
01:29:46.420 of the global collapse.
01:29:48.740 Once NIST
01:29:49.620 had admitted
01:29:50.180 the freefall
01:29:50.940 for one-third
01:29:51.700 of the collapse,
01:29:52.420 the outcome
01:29:53.040 of the debate
01:29:53.700 was sealed.
01:29:54.820 Building 7,
01:29:56.960 NIST reports
01:29:58.340 admits,
01:29:59.480 fell at the rate
01:30:00.860 of gravity
01:30:02.140 for the first
01:30:03.020 100 feet.
01:30:04.800 Well, that's impossible
01:30:05.600 unless there's
01:30:06.260 nothing resisting it.
01:30:07.300 NIST has always
01:30:08.200 acknowledged this.
01:30:09.080 Freefall time
01:30:09.760 would be an object
01:30:10.520 that has no
01:30:11.700 structural components
01:30:13.300 below it.
01:30:14.060 And, as we have
01:30:14.900 seen before,
01:30:15.740 the almost simultaneous
01:30:16.840 removal of the
01:30:17.840 supporting structure
01:30:18.700 can only be obtained
01:30:20.100 with a controlled
01:30:20.880 demolition.
01:30:21.480 The building
01:30:22.060 didn't disappear
01:30:22.800 so the building
01:30:23.480 can fall for
01:30:24.220 100 feet
01:30:24.860 at freefall speed.
01:30:26.460 That's impossible.
01:30:27.840 That evidence
01:30:28.820 alone
01:30:30.060 would indicate
01:30:31.300 that the official
01:30:32.440 story doesn't
01:30:33.220 hold water.
01:30:34.420 Question.
01:30:35.320 Can you explain
01:30:36.040 how freefall,
01:30:37.080 which requires
01:30:37.740 the almost
01:30:38.220 simultaneous removal
01:30:39.340 of the supporting
01:30:39.980 structure,
01:30:40.680 can be achieved
01:30:41.400 without a controlled
01:30:42.260 demolition?
01:30:42.820 question was posed
01:30:45.540 to Senator John
01:30:46.420 McCain by a 9-11
01:30:47.560 researcher in April
01:30:48.740 2013 during a C-SPAN
01:30:50.920 broadcast.
01:30:51.900 Senator McCain,
01:30:52.600 the National Institute
01:30:53.420 of Standards and
01:30:54.180 Technology asserts
01:30:55.440 that the collapse
01:30:56.460 of Building 7
01:30:57.260 was caused by fire,
01:30:58.980 yet they acknowledge
01:30:59.600 that the first 100
01:31:00.440 feet of that collapse
01:31:01.360 took place at
01:31:02.060 freefall acceleration.
01:31:03.740 Now, engineers
01:31:04.260 will tell you that
01:31:05.020 fire cannot do this
01:31:06.200 and that the only
01:31:07.100 method by which it
01:31:07.940 can be accomplished
01:31:08.600 is the use of
01:31:09.420 pre-planted
01:31:10.300 explosives.
01:31:11.160 Your question is what?
01:31:12.660 Yeah, how do you
01:31:13.420 explain this discrepancy
01:31:14.540 of 100 feet of
01:31:15.220 freefall without
01:31:16.400 the use of explosives?
01:31:18.520 To tell you the truth,
01:31:19.640 this is an area
01:31:20.440 that I am not
01:31:21.300 very familiar,
01:31:22.440 and if you would
01:31:23.200 drop me a note
01:31:23.900 and mention that
01:31:24.640 we talked on C-SPAN,
01:31:26.340 I'd be glad to get
01:31:27.300 you a more
01:31:29.500 complete answer.
01:31:30.700 But I...
01:31:31.240 It is unfortunate
01:31:31.940 that Senator McCain
01:31:33.020 could not answer,
01:31:34.100 as he is the person
01:31:34.980 who wrote the foreword
01:31:36.040 to the popular
01:31:36.740 mechanics book
01:31:37.620 Debunking 9-11 Myths.
01:31:39.700 Gotcha, bitch!
01:31:40.240 In the foreword,
01:31:41.080 McCain stated,
01:31:42.300 any explanation
01:31:43.220 for 9-11
01:31:44.080 must start
01:31:44.800 and end
01:31:45.460 with the facts.
01:31:46.880 The evidence
01:31:47.340 must be gathered
01:31:48.200 and analyzed.
01:31:50.900 Then,
01:31:51.680 only then,
01:31:52.480 can conclusions
01:31:53.180 be drawn.
01:31:54.480 But now that
01:31:55.080 the evidence
01:31:55.560 has been gathered
01:31:56.420 and conclusions
01:31:57.240 can be drawn,
01:31:58.500 he claims ignorance
01:31:59.540 on the whole matter.
01:32:01.840 This brings us
01:32:02.920 to the last question,
01:32:04.260 which is not only
01:32:05.060 for the debunkers,
01:32:06.120 but for anyone
01:32:06.880 who cares about
01:32:08.000 freedom,
01:32:08.760 democracy,
01:32:09.280 and an honest
01:32:10.220 government.
01:32:11.480 If you were aware
01:32:12.780 of solid evidence
01:32:13.920 disproving the
01:32:14.800 official version
01:32:15.680 and suggesting
01:32:16.560 the involvement
01:32:17.180 of some rogue
01:32:18.180 elements of the
01:32:18.940 government
01:32:19.260 in the terrorist
01:32:19.940 attacks,
01:32:20.920 would it be more
01:32:21.620 unpatriotic
01:32:22.540 and anti-American
01:32:23.620 to ask for a new
01:32:24.840 investigation
01:32:25.400 or to turn
01:32:26.400 a blind eye to it
01:32:27.620 and pretend
01:32:28.220 such evidence
01:32:29.100 doesn't exist?
01:32:30.660 Given that the
01:32:31.320 people's trust
01:32:32.120 in institutions
01:32:32.840 is of paramount
01:32:33.860 importance for a
01:32:34.760 nation's well-being,
01:32:36.120 would that trust
01:32:36.720 be better?
01:32:37.160 Yeah,
01:32:37.580 and I mean,
01:32:38.120 as the United
01:32:38.660 States,
01:32:39.420 obviously there's
01:32:40.940 corruption here as
01:32:41.560 well,
01:32:41.740 but not to the same
01:32:42.380 extent as other
01:32:42.940 countries,
01:32:43.340 and that's what
01:32:43.700 sets us so far
01:32:44.620 ahead.
01:32:45.220 That's why the
01:32:45.680 U.S. dollar
01:32:46.140 is the reserve
01:32:46.660 currency,
01:32:47.120 guys.
01:32:47.320 I know a lot
01:32:47.640 of you guys
01:32:47.860 are crooked
01:32:48.240 cops.
01:32:48.920 We have it a lot
01:32:49.520 better off here
01:32:50.260 than other places.
01:32:51.220 The United States,
01:32:51.800 at the end of the
01:32:52.180 day,
01:32:52.520 is a country with
01:32:53.880 true rule of law
01:32:55.480 that's better than
01:32:57.040 most.
01:32:57.340 better served by
01:32:58.860 denying the evidence
01:32:59.940 of a conspiracy
01:33:00.760 or by bringing
01:33:01.660 those suspected
01:33:02.540 to accountability
01:33:03.480 in a court of law.
01:33:05.820 We leave the last
01:33:07.000 word to the first
01:33:07.860 responders,
01:33:08.700 who have been
01:33:09.180 dying by the
01:33:09.800 dozens after having
01:33:10.920 inhaled the poisonous
01:33:11.860 air from Ground Zero
01:33:13.080 in the total silence
01:33:14.280 of the media.
01:33:15.280 I want to tell you
01:33:16.300 tonight about the
01:33:18.120 people we call heroes
01:33:19.720 and are still in
01:33:21.920 growing numbers living
01:33:22.840 in terrible physical
01:33:24.140 and economic
01:33:24.780 circumstances.
01:33:25.660 as they struggle
01:33:27.620 with the carcinogenic
01:33:28.660 effects of the
01:33:29.760 toxic chemical soup
01:33:31.020 Ground Zero
01:33:31.800 became.
01:33:34.720 Can this side of the
01:33:35.840 room,
01:33:36.120 everybody stand up?
01:33:40.160 Everybody on this
01:33:41.080 side,
01:33:41.360 if you're all rescue
01:33:42.000 workers,
01:33:42.320 will be dead
01:33:42.780 in four years.
01:33:44.600 Thank you.
01:33:46.580 You'd all be dead
01:33:47.520 in four years.
01:33:48.340 That's our statistics.
01:33:50.200 That's what's
01:33:50.920 happening.
01:33:52.280 In seven years,
01:33:53.480 it doubles.
01:33:53.960 And every time
01:33:56.280 popular mechanics
01:33:57.320 calls the people
01:33:58.180 of this movement
01:33:59.120 nuts,
01:34:02.240 these propagandists,
01:34:04.520 professional lawyers
01:34:05.540 and tools who cannot
01:34:06.780 by any stretch
01:34:07.820 of the imagination
01:34:08.600 be considered
01:34:09.520 journalists,
01:34:10.600 strike another nail
01:34:11.720 into the coffin
01:34:12.980 of another rescue
01:34:14.060 worker.
01:34:15.240 I don't think
01:34:16.420 we're crazy.
01:34:18.400 Conspiracies are
01:34:19.820 only evidence
01:34:20.780 the courts won't
01:34:21.580 hear.
01:34:21.840 we who are still
01:34:24.820 dying from 9-11,
01:34:26.820 who went to the
01:34:28.240 towers and into
01:34:29.100 that pile,
01:34:30.220 now live with
01:34:30.900 those buildings
01:34:31.640 in our lungs
01:34:33.000 and digestive
01:34:33.860 systems and our
01:34:34.840 blood.
01:34:35.840 For myself and
01:34:36.980 far too many of us,
01:34:38.420 research and the
01:34:39.600 effective treatments
01:34:40.480 are going to arrive
01:34:41.300 far too late.
01:34:42.840 I have double
01:34:43.360 metastasizations in
01:34:44.680 both lungs.
01:34:45.820 That's just a reality.
01:34:46.920 We were also
01:34:49.720 killed on 9-11.
01:34:51.700 Avenge us.
01:34:56.520 Damn.
01:35:03.500 Yeah, no one
01:35:04.400 talks about all
01:35:05.520 the workers that
01:35:06.480 died.
01:35:07.020 All right.
01:35:11.840 Yeah, guys.
01:35:13.880 Very compelling
01:35:14.700 documentary.
01:35:15.740 Not going to lie.
01:35:16.800 As you guys can see,
01:35:17.440 the sun is up now.
01:35:18.220 We work all night
01:35:18.820 over here.
01:35:20.580 But yeah, I mean,
01:35:22.160 strong arguments.
01:35:23.400 I had to break this
01:35:24.180 up into three
01:35:24.700 different parts.
01:35:26.300 Timestamps are going
01:35:26.880 to be very detailed,
01:35:27.680 as you guys already
01:35:28.220 know, with the
01:35:28.840 documentary breakdowns.
01:35:30.400 And yeah, hope you
01:35:31.240 guys enjoyed that
01:35:31.860 video.
01:35:32.220 My final thoughts
01:35:34.540 on it, guys, are
01:35:35.660 there's compelling
01:35:37.180 arguments on both
01:35:38.420 sides.
01:35:39.720 I'm going to need a
01:35:40.420 little bit of time to
01:35:41.000 think about what I
01:35:42.600 think is the, you
01:35:44.000 know, final verdict
01:35:45.280 here.
01:35:45.940 But both components
01:35:47.520 definitely make solid
01:35:48.540 arguments.
01:35:49.460 And this, I can't
01:35:50.980 lie, man.
01:35:51.400 Like, you know, I'm
01:35:52.140 looking at it, the
01:35:53.060 facts here and being
01:35:53.700 objective.
01:35:54.700 They did a really
01:35:55.620 good job of debunking
01:35:57.180 the official narrative
01:35:58.020 and the NIST
01:35:59.260 findings.
01:36:00.180 And they always
01:36:02.080 say, where there's
01:36:02.860 smoke, there's
01:36:03.280 fire.
01:36:04.160 So this is probably
01:36:05.440 one of the best
01:36:06.740 documentaries I've
01:36:08.740 seen on this
01:36:10.160 situation.
01:36:10.760 I've seen loose
01:36:11.180 trains and everything
01:36:11.740 else like that as
01:36:12.420 well.
01:36:13.380 My only thing is
01:36:14.660 that, you know, for
01:36:16.440 them to be doing
01:36:17.240 some grand
01:36:17.840 conspiracy, it
01:36:19.860 would have, like,
01:36:20.360 come out by now if
01:36:21.120 there was a bunch of
01:36:21.680 people involved.
01:36:22.400 Like, the thing
01:36:23.560 about the government
01:36:24.280 that a lot of people
01:36:24.760 don't understand is
01:36:25.680 that the government,
01:36:27.420 people give the
01:36:28.580 government way too
01:36:29.100 much credit.
01:36:29.540 Guys, as a former
01:36:30.160 government employee
01:36:30.680 myself, as a former
01:36:31.460 special agent,
01:36:32.080 you're pretty much
01:36:32.760 cream of the crop
01:36:33.500 at that level.
01:36:34.140 You know, you're
01:36:35.000 pretty much in a
01:36:35.880 supervisor self-owned
01:36:37.860 type role.
01:36:38.540 You get a take-home
01:36:39.100 car, a lot of
01:36:39.660 freedom, whatever.
01:36:40.400 You're not
01:36:40.640 pinching a clock,
01:36:41.400 none of that
01:36:41.740 stuff.
01:36:42.240 You have a high
01:36:42.680 security clearance,
01:36:43.760 very admired,
01:36:44.820 respected job.
01:36:46.420 And even those
01:36:48.460 guys, we had a
01:36:49.300 bunch of bums,
01:36:50.020 man.
01:36:50.360 You know, they've
01:36:51.180 always said it.
01:36:51.600 Government and
01:36:51.980 state employees in
01:36:52.640 general are extremely
01:36:53.280 lazy, and there's a
01:36:54.040 reason why that
01:36:54.560 stereotype is pretty
01:36:56.040 damn accurate.
01:36:56.900 So for them to be
01:36:58.500 able to pull
01:36:59.280 something off like
01:37:00.120 this surreptitiously
01:37:01.700 and no one would
01:37:02.400 know and everything
01:37:03.420 else like that to
01:37:04.220 this extent, it would
01:37:05.820 be wild.
01:37:06.780 You know, and that's
01:37:07.160 kind of one of the
01:37:07.780 main things that

01:37:09.140 what is that?
01:37:10.520 Government ain't that
01:37:11.220 smart, bro.
01:37:11.720 Like, people give them
01:37:12.300 way too much credit.
01:37:12.980 So, but yeah, I'm gonna
01:37:15.340 definitely sleep on it
01:37:16.120 and think a little bit
01:37:17.480 more, but as far as
01:37:18.940 this documentary goes,
01:37:20.280 really well put
01:37:20.960 together, really strong
01:37:21.940 arguments.
01:37:22.360 They debunk so many of
01:37:23.800 the official narrative
01:37:24.680 narratives, storylines.
01:37:26.900 So, yeah, hope you
01:37:28.360 guys enjoyed it, man.
