9/11: Speak Out

Dust Fountain

9/11 does not go away. It is with us on a daily basis. It has been the emotional rationale for a long list of radical changes in US policy, many of which continue with us even under the Obama administration:

  • a supposed "War on Terrorism"
  • actual wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
  • possible future wars against a supposed "axis of evil"
  • condoning torture and indefinite detention without any kind of due process
  • scuttling the Geneva conventions
  • the sacrifice of civil liberties at home

If 9/11 "changed everything," as George W. Bush has said, then it is extremely important that we "get it right." What really happened that day? The administration made a rush to judgment, immediately destroyed much of the evidence, stamped much of the remaining evidence "Secret," and implied that critics were "with the terrorists."

If all you know is what you have read in the papers or seen on the TV News, you are not fully informed, and you are quite possibly misinformed. We believe you have also been intentionally DIS-informed.

A "9/11 Truth Movement," inspired initially by families of 9/11 victims, has amassed a significant amount of research that casts doubt on the official story line, but many people have never heard this or thought through the implications. The Bush administration and the compliant media want this issue to go away, so any attempt to discuss or speak out on this issue is dismissed as a "conspiracy theory." But keep in mind that even the official story of 9/11 is a rather bizarre "conspiracy theory."

4-Ton Girders: Blowing in the Wind?
Video version of the girder velocity calculations.


South Tower Coming Down
Video segment of the collapse of the South Tower, taken apart frame-by-frame, rectified so the building remains motionless, and reassembled into a movie, with commentary.

High Speed Ejection from WTC1
Video analysis, using Physics Tool Kit software, of the horizontal speed of ejecta from the North Tower. Result: ~73 mph.

Race with Gravity
Video analysis, using Physics Tool Kit software, of the speed of the demolition wave moving down a face of the North Tower in comparison with the rate of freefall through air of heavy material nearby.
(Analysis based on the BBC footage which can be seen in full here.)

Faster than Gravity (Removed)
I removed this video because when I did additional runs at different resolutions, I always got extreme accelerations, but not the same amounts in the same places. This made me skeptical of the procedure. Finding accelerations from position data involves double numerical differentiation, a process that can amplify "noise" in the data. The raw data in this analysis is the inherently noisy positional measurement of cloudy material, and the conclusions were based on the short term variations in the acceleration. This raises the likelihood that the extreme accelerations are artifacts. The WTC7 measurements (above) do not suffer the same defect because (1) they are measuring the motion of a more definite point of solid material, and (2) the conclusions are based on long term average acceleration.

Another High Speed Ejection from WTC1
Video analysis, using Physics Tool Kit software, of the horizontal speed of another plume of ejecta from the North Tower, based on Rick Siegel's video shot from across the Hudson River. Result: ~71 mph.

South Tower: Explosive Reality
Close-up video analysis, using Physics Tool Kit software, of the initial velocity of two plumes of dusty material ejected immediately after the initiation of the collapse of the South Tower. Result: both over 100 mph.

The Terrorism Scam
This You-Tube video is a commentary piece about the virtual non-existence of a US terrorism threat.

High Speed Ejection from WTC1--Further Analysis
Further analysis of the data in the original video of this name reveals the location in WTC1 where the ejected object originated: about the 82nd floor. Under even the most liberal assumptions, the building was falling at that point at only half the speed of ejection of the object that is being tracked.

Freefall Acceleration of WTC7
Video analysis, using Physics Tool Kit software, of the uniformly accelerated collapse of Building 7 of the World Trade Center from a distant vantage point to the NW. (This replaces two earlier videos of a similar nature.) This revision is based on a higher resolution copy of the video. The inescapable conclusion that the building underwent demolition is discussed.


My videos on behalf of AE911Truth (http://www.youtube.com/user/ae911truth)

(These are more recent and generally of higher quality, both in terms of substance and production value. They benefit from the services of an excellent video archivist and peer review within the AE911Truth team for content. The most recent additions are at the bottom.)

North Tower Exploding
This is an narration of a video clip of the North tower which focuses on explosive ejections
progressing in waves down the faces of the building. Among other
things it is a response
to theories that postulate causes for the collapse that ignore the evidence that can be
easily seen by anyone in the video footage itself. Observation is the foundation of science.
(This video clip was produced for AE911Truth and posted on their YouTube channel.)

WTC7 in Freefall--No Longer Controversial
The previous analysis of the freefall acceleration was criticized (legitimately) for using a horizontal calibration measurement for analyzing purely vertical motion. Any distortion or
stretching of the video could throw off the measurement. In this new video, the calibration utilizes NIST's data for the heights of the roofline and the 29th floor to do a vertical calibration. The result is a measurement even closer to idealized freefall: 9.88 m/s^2.
(This video clip was produced for AE911Truth and posted on their YouTube channel.)

[Another video maker, "skeptic121" who wishes to remain anonymous, has posted a similar measurement using a different video and using a different technique. It contains interesting comparison measurements from other collapses as well.]

WTC7: NIST Finally Admits Freefall (Part I)
In its draft report, released in August 2008, NIST attempted to cover up evidence that WTC7 fell at freefall, but the coverup was transparent. In its final report, released in November 2008, NIST finally acknowledged freefall, but couched it in a bizarre framework that continues to deny its clear significance. This illuminating video displays the brazenness of the NIST WTC7 coverup. John Gross, one of the lead structural engineers for the NIST investigation, who figures in this video, has established a reputation for lying and evading evidence. (Another example of John Gross' evasive interaction with questioners on other a different key piece of evidence.)

WTC7: NIST Finally Admits Freefall (Part II)
This is not the "Part II" I had originally envisioned. That will have to wait for Part III. In following up on the erroneous measurement described by John Gross in Part I, I decided to look more carefully at the measurement and find the video frame NIST claims marks the beginning of the collapse. What I found is that there is no motion of the roofline for at least 20-30 video frames after the point identified by John Gross. In other words, the measurement is a complete fabrication with the goal of producing a "measurement" to agree with the result predicted by NIST's collapse model. This result is sufficiently significant to merit its own video.
...More to come soon in Part III

WTC7: NIST Finally Admits Freefall (Part III)
Part III fully explores the implications of NIST's admission that freefall occurred and critiques the foundations of their "investigation." In the end it calls for a new, independent, fully empowered, and open investigation.

[The WTC7 series has elicited a number of questions from people unclear on the details of how I did the measurements, compared to how NIST did them and how the representatives of NIST described their measurements. I have therefore created a WTC7 Measurement FAQ page. I will also use this FAQ as a place of reference for other questions that arise as well.]

Downward Acceleration of the North Tower
The roofline of WTC1 (The North Tower) begins dropping with sudden onset and accelerates uniformly downward at about 64% of the acceleration of gravity (g) until it disappears into the dust. This means it is meeting resistance equal to about 36% of its weight. The implication of this, however, is that the force it is exerting on the lower section of the building is also only 36% of the weight of the falling section. This is much less than the force it would exert if it were at rest. The acceleration data thus prove that the falling top section of the building cannot be responsible for the destruction of the lower section of the building.
[I want to acknowledge the work of Graeme MacQueen and Tony Szamboti who have been engaged in similar measurements by other means and have reached similar conclusions.]

South Tower Smoking Guns
This video narrates a collection of diverse phenomena in the debris cloud of the South Tower that point to explosive demolition. Particularly notable is one projectile (which I have not seen discussed previously) that is shooting to the east, then stops, midair, then turns a sharp corner and shoots straight down trailing white smoke. White smoke is characteristic of aluminum oxide which is a byproduct of the thermite reaction.

South Tower Smoking Guns (Follow-up)
After finding the projectile that turns a sharp corner while trailing white smoke (which I have dubbed the "Angle Rocket") I looked for it in other videos and found it in several. The clearest is from a camera with a very similar perspective to the first, but in this video the trail can be followed to the bottom of the collapse. Here I explore the significance of this find.

South Tower: Exploding Projectile

A close-up view of debris being ejected from the South Tower of the World Trade Center as the 30-floor top section falls to the east shows numerous smoking projectiles that look like comets. Several of them can be seen to explode. One such exploding projectile is followed here. It ejects two fragments, both of which undergo secondary explosions. (Note, the rising fragment to the left of the projectile under consideration appears to be a tumbling object that alternates from black to white to invisible. It passes behind one of the fragments described in the video.)


9/11: The Big Lie in Broad Daylight (Part 1)

This is a talk I gave at the 2009 annual meeting of the American Society of Criminology
in Philadelphia in the session titled "Power Crimes." Four of us from AE911Truth presented
papers at this meeting. The others were James Gourley (attorney with chemical engineering
background), Tony Szamboti (mechanical engineer), and Bob Fischer (biochemist).

9/11: The Big Lie in Broad Daylight (Part 2)


Cutter Charges in the North Tower of the World Trade Center New

Small explosive ejections focused on a corner column of WTC1 (The North Tower of the World Trade Center) are evidence of cutter charges used to cut the corner columns. One of these occurs at the 98th floor at the onset of the demolition of the building. The other occurs lower in the building at the instant the column enters free fall.

Acceleration + Serendipity

This is a study of the overall downward acceleration of WTC1, the North Tower of the World Trade Center. During this investigation it was discovered that the one feature that kept pace with the original acceleration of the roofline was a wave of ejections on the west wall.
