9/11 FEMA videographer at Ground Zero goes public

[garyd]

No it is not. It is absurd, though I hope you are being tongue in cheek with this. And thermite would have been even more impossible than the Usual explosives. You need a crew of roughly four hundred for WTC 1 and 2 and half that four WTC 7 the so called smoking gun. Double that for thermite. In either case your talking people using concrete drills to drill through to set the charges. That's the standard proceedure and unless you wish to take extraordianry risks you don't bring the HE on the scene until after you've drilled the holes in which it is to be placed. On top of which you won't be able to use electronic ignition to detonate your charges because there are just too many cell phones around, so you'll also need miles of detwire which no one saw.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Its perfectly reasonable to believe that two 110-story buildings that housed over 60,000 people could be rigged up over a weekend when they were "powered down" such that demolition experts (who would lay the charges not at the bottom of the building as they always do but half way up the structure) could stealthily transport and wire large quantities of dynamite or thermite or whatever without anyone ever noticing or seeing them at all.

Yeah, it all makes sense now!

 

[garyd]

And the nutbars have left the building...

By the way just for future reference the primary components of of thermite, Aluminum and iron oxide are present invirtually every multi story office building in the land. I would find it highly suspicious if you had such a building collapse and these elements weren't present in large quantities.

Essay 9/5/06: Regarding the 9/11 Commission - "In their responsibility to report all the facts: They either refused to interview all relevant experts and witnesses, or, they censored the reports provided to them by those with direct and first-hand information. Both these acts were selective and intentional. Contrary to their pledge to establish accountability: They refused to hold anyone accountable and lamely justified it by saying, "We don’t want to point a finger at anyone."

Letter to Congress regarding the 9/11 Commission Report 9/13/04, signed by the following 25 military, intelligence, and law enforcement veterans: http://www.nswbc.org


"[W]e the undersigned wish to bring to the attention of the Congress and the people of the United States what we believe are serious shortcomings in the report and its recommendations. …

Omission is one of the major flaws in the Commission’s report. We are aware of significant issues and cases that were duly reported to the commission by those of us with direct knowledge, but somehow escaped attention. …

The omission of such serious and applicable issues and information by itself renders the report flawed, and casts doubt on the validity of many of its recommendations. ...

The Commission, with its incomplete report of "facts and circumstances", intentional avoidance of assigning accountability, and disregard for the knowledge, expertise and experience of those who actually do the job, has now set about pressuring our Congress and our nation to hastily implement all its recommendations. ...

We the undersigned, who have worked within various government agencies (FBI, CIA, FAA, DIA, Customs) responsible for national security and public safety, call upon you in Congress to include the voices of those with first-hand knowledge and expertise in the important issues at hand. We stand ready to do our part." http://www.nswbc.org

Eots almost none of those people believe controlled demolition was used in the destruction of the WTC.

A lot of them believe there was something fishy in the way the intell was handled. Hell most sane people believe that the intelligence was poorly handled although exactly why is open to debate. For my money it goes back to the idiotic compartmentlization that was foisted upon the intelligence community back during the Carter Administration by the Church committee.

Another of our current set of problems that was produced by the carter administration as all too many of them were.

Gee five names all of them operating well outside there area of expertise. No wonder theya re being ignored.

Columbia University has a state of the artSeimograph which showed no I repeat no signatrue that would indicate an explosion.

And explosion has quite a different signature than a building collapse on a seismograph.
