9/11 The Whole Story

(07/06/08)

This is it my biggest 9/11 blog to date, to cram as much as I could into one page I am going to use videos alot more then pictures to get a further point across so watch the videos as you're reading through.

Pre 9/11

Silverstein Properties purchase of WTC: In January 2001, Silverstein, via Silverstein Properties and Westfield America, made a $3.2 billion bid for the lease to the World Trade Center. Silverstein was outbid by $50 million by Vornado Realty, with Boston Properties and Brookfield Properties also competing for the lease. However, Vornado withdrew and Silverstein's bid for the lease to the World Trade Center was accepted on July 24, 2001, seven weeks before the buildings were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. This was the first time in the building's 31-year history that the complex had changed management.

The deal was described in a press release on July 24, 2001:

"Silverstein Properties, Inc., and Westfield America, Inc. will lease the Twin Towers and other portions of the complex in a deal worth approximately $3.2 billion – the city's richest real estate deal ever and one of the largest privatization initiatives in history."

Missing Trillions:

On September 10th On September 10, 2001, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference to disclose that over $2,000,000,000,000 in Pentagon funds could not be accounted for.

Such a disclosure normally might have sparked a huge scandal. However, the commencement of the attack on New York City and Washington in the morning would assure that the story remained buried. To the trillions already missing from the coffers, an obedient Congress terrorized by anthrax attacks would add billions more in appropriations to fight the "War on Terror."

Security Lax in WTC: An article in New York Newsday documented the removal of bomb-sniffing dogs just five days before the attack, this is a copy of the actual article.

September 12, 2001

The World Trade Center was destroyed just days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the landmark 110-story towers, security personnel said yesterday.

Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday, bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed.

"Today was the first day there was not the extra security," Coard said. "We were protecting below. We had the ground covered. We didn't figure they would do it with planes. There is no way anyone could have stopped that."

Security guard Hermina Jones said officials had recently taken steps to secure the towers against aerial attacks by installing bulletproof windows and fireproof doors in the 22nd-floor computer command center...

FEMA on September 12th:

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) spokesperson Tom Kenney to Dan Rather had this to say on Wednesday September 12th.

"We're currently one of the first teams that was deployed to support the city of New York for this disaster. We arrived on late Monday night, and went into action on Tuesday morning. And not until today did we get a full opportunity to work the entire site."

The World Trade Center Attack

American Airlines Flight 11

American Airlines Flight 11 a Boeing 767-223ER on a scheduled flight from Boston to Los Angeles, with 81 passengers, nine flight attendants, and two pilots. After an alleged hijacking the plane changed course and when arriving over New York at 8:46 Flight 11 collided with the North Tower. The NTSB places the crash time at 8:46:40.

The only footage of the incident was captured by Jules Naudet a French man and Pavel Hlava a Czech immigrant, human remains recovered from Ground Zero were identified as belonging to Flight 11 victims.

United Airlines Flight 175

Flight 175 was a Boeing 767-222 on a scheduled flight from Boston to Los Angeles, with 56 passengers, 7 flight attendants, and 2 pilots, at 8:42, Flight 175 veered off its planned course, and begun flying south. Not long later at 9:03, Flight 175 collided with the South Tower. The NTSB places the crash time at 9:02:40.

Many people question the identity and that if it really was Flight 175 that hit the South Tower but I have just one point to make about that and that is the same as Flight 11 the actual fact that human remains from a couple of passengers from the flight were identified so there should be no question that is the fact that it was Flight 175.

Shortly after the Flight 175 crash that we all saw on TV two F-15's (whom weren't alerted or even heard of the North Tower strike) were ordered to carry out combat air patrols around Lower Manhatten which they did for the next four hours.

At 8:52 AM two F-15s from the 102nd Fighter Wing of Otis Air National Guard Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts were scrambled and airborne. These were the first jets scrambled, 38 minutes after Flight 11 was hijacked. But the pilots were not informed that Flight 11 had crashed into the WTC nor that Flight 175 had turned and was heading straight toward New York City.

South Tower

The South Tower of the World Trade Center was the second to be hit and the first to collapse, hit by Flight 175 the impact hole that extended from the 78th to 84th floors. At 9:03AM it fell at 9:59AM, the offical explanation to why they fell is the jet fuel melted the steel causing the top to keel over and the rest of the floors to follow in a pan cake collapse, okay lets not question that some of the offical reports state the fire was nearly as hot as the centre of a nuclear reactor the truth is rather different.

About ten minutes after Flight 175 it is clear that most of the jet fuel had in fact burned up, and also the fires in the South Tower became more severe over time, smoke became thin and nearly black by the time of its total destruction.

None of the fires spread from the impact zone and in fact there is no evidence that the fires on the floors at the impact zone even spread to the opposite side of the building. By the time the building collapsed, the fires appeared to be suffocating, as no flames were visible, and only black smoke was emerging. At that time the vast majority of smoke was coming from the North Tower. New York firefighters reached the crash zone before the building broke up, and described "two pockets of fire".

Evacuations before its collapse saved hundreds of people whom were working in the tower that day.

The South Tower begun to collapse at 9:59 that morning with the portion of the tower above the crash zone began to tilt while the first explosions of dust began at the crash zone. Then, at about 2.5 seconds the top began to fall at about the 6.5-second mark, the top was completely swallowed up by the huge growing dust cloud.

North Tower

The North Tower was the first to be hit and the second to collapse, hit by Flight 11 at 8:46AM which caused an impact hole between the 92nd floor and the 98th floor it later fell at 10:28AM taking a total of eight seconds to completely collapse, the impact rocked the tower and shortly afterwards fireballs and smoke emerged from the building.

Flight 11 was carrying an estimated 10,000 gallons of fuel at the time of impact.

It is widely believed that most of the fuel remained inside the building and burned there. For a few minutes after the impact fires could be seen on several floors, by the time the South Tower was hit less fire was visible from the North Tower most likely since the jet fuel had been well extinguished by this stage, as time progressed the fires spread to new areas while burning out in others.

As with the South Tower the advanced evacuation out of the tower saved hundreds of lives.

At 10:28AM the collapse of the North Tower begun in an instant as the entire overhanging part of the part begun to fall right down no flames had been visible in the crash zone for some time, a second after the collapse began, large orange flames bellowed out from the collapse zone. Within about two seconds, the exploding clouds of dust swallowed up the tower's top.

Both collapses were very fast and similiar to a rather unconvential controlled demoilition never seen before.

WTC 7

I have talked about this before but decided to include it here again with additional facts anyway, Building 7 was 300 feet from the plaza and its construction did not begin until 1985. It was of an entirely different architectural style than the other six buildings. It was completely destroyed late in the afternoon on September 11th.

Building 7 was 100% steel framed building (even though fire alone managed to bring it down), the 23rd floor was an emergency bunker for Mayor Giuliani in case of an attack on New York which included bullet proof and bomb resistant windows, even though Giuliani picked somewhere else to take refuge on 9/11.

Building 7 had a small set of fires after the collapse of both towers but hadn't recieved much damage since it was about the length of a football field away from the Twin Towers, it was the only other building to completely collapse, (Buildings 3 to 6 where badly burned but did not collapse in the finish up), Building 7 wasn't crushed like the rest but the fire brought the building in a vertical collapse that brought it to earth in 6.5 seconds.

BBC reported the collapse before it actually happened the video which you can watch on my other page on Building 7.

Silverstein had stated in an interview that he stated he was going to pull Building 7 by the end of the day after hearing there was a fire, but it was later stated he had meant pulling the firefighters from Building 7, later after it was revealed there were no fire fighters nobody said nothing and it was stated that the building fell in a vertical collapse because of fire.

The Pentagon

CCTV footage of what is supposingly American Airlines Flight 77 striking the Pentagon

I don't like touching into the Pentagon side of things so what I'm going to do is leave the whole "where is the plane" theory out of this because alot of it is confused and lacking of alot of the facts, lets go to the facts about the amount of fuel that the 757 was carrying and what damage it would make.

At about 9:38 AM, a twin-engine jetliner flew into the Pentagon and exploded, according to numerous eyewitnesses on the ground. The NTSB places the time of impact of Flight 77 into the Pentagon at 9:37:45. A Minnesota National Guard C-130 that had just taken off from nearby Andrews Air Force Base followed the jetliner in the seconds before it crashed. The pilot of the C-130, who described the plane as either a 757 or 767, provided the following account.

It was like coming up to an intersection. When air traffic control asked me if we had him in sight, I told him that was an understatement - by then, he had pretty much filled our windscreen. Then he made a pretty aggressive turn so he was moving right in front of us, a mile and a half, two miles away.

They told us to turn and follow that aircraft - in 20-plus years of flying, I've never been asked to do something like that. With all of the East Coast haze, I had a hard time picking him out. The next thing I saw was the fireball. It was huge. I told Washington the airplane has impacted the ground. Shook everyone up pretty good. I told them the approximate location was close to the Potomac. I figured he'd had some in-flight emergency and was trying to get back on the ground to Washington National. Suddenly, I could see the outline of the Pentagon. It was horrible. I told Washington this thing has impacted the west side of the Pentagon."

The following paragraph is a rather interesting quote.

The amount of fuel that would have been left in the aircraft would have reduced that section of the Pentagon to rubble, would have burned for days and would have been seen for miles, and that 8,600 gallons of fuel had a BTU rate of 86,000,000, looking at the total weight of the plane with conjunction with its velocity the Pentagon should haven been reduced to the thickness of a pan cake also the fuel spill of 8,600 gallons would have the need for a large earth and soil removal project the contaminated soil would be considered hazardest waste under Title 40 of the code of federal regulation hint look it up.

United Airlines Flight 93

At 8:42 AM, Flight 93 took off from Newark International Airport, 41 minutes after its scheduled departure time. According to NORAD's September 18th timeline, at 9:16, the FAA informed NORAD that the flight may have been hijacked.

Flight 93 was the one with the most phone calls (with the exception was the call from passenger Todd Beamer on an Airfone, which was routed to Verizon supervisor Lisa Jefferson. Jefferson interviewed Beamer in detail in a conversation that would last from 9:45 until ending the call with the famous words "Let's Roll". before the passengers attempted to take back the plane but failed apparantly crashing it nose face in a field in Shanksville a small town in Somerset, Pennsylvania

The evidence is nearly impossible to reconcile with the official story!

The evidence showed that United 93 (or whatever was left of it) crashed in Pennsylvania as a result of a struggle in the cockpit between the hijackers and passengers who had rushed them in an attempt to gain control of the aircraft or otherwise prevent it from crashing into a strategic target, such as the U.S. Capitol, however the crash seems not to have been the passengers losing control but more seemed to have effected it such as maybe a missile strike from an F-16.

Bare with me for a second, evidence of such trauma preceding the jetliner's nose-dive includes the widely scattered debris field, numerous ear- and eyewitness accounts, and maybe those in commanded slightly altered the timeline covering up the planes true fate.

The debris was spread very far apart, for instance from the crater in the field some was as far away as a residential area Indiana Lake roughly six miles away, small debris descended over Indian Lake and New Baltimore, about three and eight miles from the primary crash site, and an engine core was separated from the main impact crater by about 2000 feet.

Some officials even hinted wind might have done it (see above) but that sounds too stupid even to look into.

Hell locals in the area even reported peculiar engine sounds before the crash and even sounds of explosions before the plane fell from the sky, hell even Rumsfeld mentioning al Queda even mentioned Flight 93 as "the plane they shot down in Pennysilvania (watch video above)

Post 9/11

Shut down of civil aviation:

Shortly after the Pentagon attack the US air space was shut down, foreign flights were ordered back home from everywhere and commerical airliners not operating in the US for the next three days, evacuations of major buildings across the US like Sears Tower in Chicago took place.

Bin Laden Charter:

On September 13th a Lear Jet flew a Saudi Arabian prince, the son of the Saudi defense minister Prince Sultan and a Saudi army commander from Tampa, FL to Lexington, KY. Then the two flew on a private 747 out of the country.

Steel removal:

After the destruction of both towers Ground Zero was cluttered with steel but instead of opening an investigation to how jet fuel and fire combined melted the steel an order was given instead to have it recycled, I quote another article from NY Daily News.

Some 185,101 tons of structural steel have been hauled away from Ground Zero. Most of the steel has been recycled as per the city's decision to swiftly send the wreckage to salvage yards in New Jersey. The city's hasty move has outraged many victims' families who believe the steel should have been examined more thoroughly. Last month, fire experts told Congress that about 80% of the steel was scrapped without being examined because investigators did not have the authority to preserve the wreckage.

Steel was shipped to China and India and sold for up to $50 cheaper than normal steel exports

FEMA's BPAT, who wrote the WTC Building Performance Study, were not given access to Ground Zero. Apparently, they were not even allowed to collect steel samples from the salvage yards. According to Appendix D of the Study:

Collection and storage of steel members from the WTC site was not part of the BPS Team efforts sponsored by FEMA and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

Silverstein insurance payment:

Silverstein whom had insured his property against acts of terrorism it was bought to in the agreement that if the complex was destroyed Silverstein would have the right to rebuild it, he went to court to fight his insurers even bringing up the point that attacks on both towers meant two acts of terrorism and not just one, he won and recieved $7,000,000,000 not a cent of which went to the clean up of Ground Zero (which was taken from the tax payers.)

Anthrax Attacks:

On October 9, 2001, letters containing anthrax were sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (both of whom were trying to slow down the US Patriot Act), just seven days before the incident, Leahy accused the Bush administration of reneging on an agreement on the bill.

The date written on the letter was 9/11/01 which may have been written by an American since America puts their dates like this month/day/year whilst the rest of the world puts it day/month/ year.

The anthrax was also weaponized, weaponization of anthrax is a difficult technical feat that only the US and Russian militaries have achieved.

Restriction on Freedom

US Patriot Act:

After the anthrax attacks the Patriot Act was swiftly bought in with only one senate member to vote against it, here is exactly what it does against certain freedoms stated clearly in the United States Constitution.

Freedom of Association: Government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terror investigations.

Freedom of Information: Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records requests.

Freedom of Speech: Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed information related to terror investigations.

Right to Legal Representation: Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to US citizens accused of crimes.

Freedom from Unreasonable Searches: Government may search and seize papers and effects owned by citizens without probable cause to assist terror investigations.

Right to Public Trial: Government may jail anyone indefinitely without a trial, including citizens of America.

Right to Liberty: Anyone may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront witnesses against them.

Homeland Security Act:

The Homeland Security Act was signed in on the months follwing 9/11 to qoute, "organize a government that is fractured, divided and under-prepared to handle the all- important task of defending our great nation from terrorist attack."

TIA was given a startup budget of $200 million, and a mandate to achieve a state of "Total Information Awareness." Admiral John Poindexter, who was convicted of lying to Congress about his central role in the Iran Contra affair, was placed in charge of the IAO.

Poindexter had plans to create 300,000,000 computer dossiers, a file for every American, which would serve as repositories for data "mined" from both public and private sources, including detailed information on transactions, finances, education, medical history, travel, personal communications, and public records from every branch of government, including the CIA and FBI. Programs were also underway to employ facial recognition and "gait recognition" technologies.

The Military Commissions Act:

This one bought in back in 2006 rubberstamps violations of human rights in the "war on terror." Which is absolutly neccassary according to the CIA, Amnesty Internation provided this assessment of the act.

  • Strip the US courts of jurisdiction to hear or consider habeas corpus appeals challenging the lawfulness or conditions of detention of anyone held in US custody as an "enemy combatant". Judicial review of cases would be severely limited. The law would apply retroactively, and thus could result in more than 200 pending appeals filed on behalf of Guantánamo detainees being thrown out of court.

  • Prohibit any person from invoking the Geneva Conventions or their protocols as a source of rights in any action in any US court.

  • Permit the executive to convene military commissions to try "alien unlawful enemy combatants", as determined by the executive under a dangerously broad definition, in trials that would provide foreign nationals so labeled with a lower standard of justice than US citizens accused of the same crimes. This would violate the prohibition on the discriminatory application of fair trial rights.

  • Permit civilians captured far from any battlefield to be tried by military commission rather than civilian courts, contradicting international standards and case law.

  • Establish military commissions whose impartiality, independence and competence would be in doubt, due to the overarching role that the executive, primarily the Secretary of Defense, would play in their procedures and in the appointments of military judges and military officers to sit on the commissions.

  • Permit, in violation of international law, the use of evidence extracted under cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, or as a result of "outrages upon personal dignity, particularly humiliating or degrading treatment", as defined under international law.

  • Permit the use of classified evidence against a defendant, without the defendant necessarily being able effectively to challenge the "sources, methods or activities" by which the government acquired the evidence. This is of particular concern in light of the high level of secrecy and resort to national security arguments employed by the administration in the "war on terror", which have been widely criticized, including by the UN Committee against Torture and the Human Rights Committee. Amnesty International is concerned that the administration appears on occasion to have resorted to classification to prevent independent scrutiny of human rights violations.

  • Give the military commissions the power to hand down death sentences, in contravention of international standards which only permit capital punishment after trials affording "all possible safeguards to ensure a fair trial". The clemency authority would be the President. President Bush has led a pattern of official public commentary on the presumed guilt of the detainees, and has overseen a system that has systematically denied the rights of detainees.

  • Limit the right of charged detainees to be represented by counsel of their choosing.

  • Fail to provide any guarantee that trials will be conducted within a reasonable time.

  • Permit the executive to determine who is an "enemy combatant" under any "competent tribunal" established by the executive, and endorse the Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRT), the wholly inadequate administrative procedure that has been employed in Guantánamo to review individual detentions.

  • Narrow the scope of the War Crimes Act by not expressly criminalizing acts that constitute "outrages upon personal dignity, particularly humiliating and degrading treatment" banned under Article 3 common to the four Geneva Conventions. Amnesty International believes that the USA has routinely failed to respect the human dignity of detainees in the "war on terror".

  • Prohibit the US courts from using "foreign or international law" to inform their decisions in relation to the War Crimes Act. The President has the authority to "interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva Conventions". Under President Bush, the USA has shown a selective disregard for the Geneva Conventions and the absolute prohibition of torture or other ill-treatment.

  • Endorse the administration’s "war paradigm" – under which the USA has selectively applied the laws of war and rejected international human rights law. The legislation would backdate the "war on terror" to before the 11 September 2001 in order to be able to try individuals in front of military commissions for "war crimes" committed before that date.

    The thing that gets me is the fact all the time we're told that terrorists hate America's freedom, so what is the government doing keeping the terorists happy?



    The War on Terrorism:

    On October 7th, 2001 while smoke was still rising from Ground Zero the War in Afghanistan begun with British and American forces attacking the Taliban since Afghanistan was harbouring terrorists, the war is on going to this very day.

    In 2003 the United States and the UK went into Iraq since they had Weapons of Mass Destruction, after overthrowing Saddam's government and facing off insurgents for the last five years they have not yet found a single weapon that is capable of "mass destruction"
