through the side of the plane

and comes down on the ground unscathed.

But something happened.

For 6 months they reported they had this passport.

We thought if we got it, we got the proof

and then the guy stood up and was alive.

Several of these 19 men are still alive.

Of course we're after Saddam Hussein,

I mean bin Laden, he's, he's, he's...

January 2001. The Bush Administration orders the FBI

and intelligence agencies to back off investigations

involving the bin Laden family,

including two of Osama bin Laden's relatives

who were living, guess where! -

in Falls Church, Virginia

right next to CIA headquarters.

When he was already America's "most wanted criminal"

he reportedly spent two weeks

in the American hospital in Dubai,

was treated by an American doctor

and visited by the local CIA agents.

We have not seen one piece of evidence

that links Osama bin Laden

directly to the planning stages of September 11th.

This failure to provide proof

was later said to be unnecessary

because bin Laden in the video allegedly found in Afghanistan

admitted responsibility for the attacks.

This confession is now widely sided as proof.

But the man in this video has darker skin,

fuller cheeks and a broader nose

than the Osama bin Laden of all other videos.

We again seem to have the planted evidence.

In 1976 Osama's older brother Saleem bin Laden

hired a man in Texas by the name of Jim Bath

to handle all the investments in the United States

for the bin Laden family.

Jim Bath also happens to be a personal, almost life-long friend

and former international guard pilot, with George W. Bush.

The connections between the Bushes and the bin Ladens

become much more clearer when

George Herbert Walker Bush made trips

to Saudi Arabia in 1998 and 2000

to meet with the bin Laden family

on behalf of the company called the Carlyle Group.

How could anyone fly a 60 ton, 125 ft wide,

The aircraft before striking the Pentagon

reportedly executed a 270 degree downward spiral

and yet Hani Hanjour was known as a terrible pilot

who could not safely fly even a small plane.

No seats, no luggage, no bodies.

Nothing but bricks and limestone.

The official explanation is that the intense heat

from the jet fuel vaporized the entire plane.

Flight 77 had two Rolls Royce engines

made of steel and titanium alloy

and weighed 6 tons each.

It is scientifically impossible that 12 tons of

steel and titanium was vaporized by jet fuel.

We're also told that the bodies

were able to be identified

either by the fingerprints or by the DNA.

So what kind of fire can vaporize aluminum

and tempered steel and yet leave human bodies intact?

From my close-up inspection there's no evidence

of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon

and as I say the only pieces left that you can see

are small enough that you can pick up in your hand

Shortly after the strike, government agents

picked up debris and carried it off.

The entire lawn was covered with dirt and gravel

so that any remaining forensic evidence

was literally covered up.

The videos from security cameras

which would show what really hit the Pentagon

were immediately confiscated by agents of the FBI.

And the Department of Justice has to

this day refused to release them.

If these videos would prove that the Pentagon

was really hit by a 757

most of us would assume

the Government would release them.

It looks like there's nothing there

except for a hole in the ground.

Basically that's right.

The only thing you could see from where we were

a big gouge in the earth and some broken trees.

You could see some people working,

walking around in the area,

but from where we can see

there wasn't much left.

Any large pieces of debris at all?

No, there was nothing.

Nothing, that you can distinguish

that a plane had crashed there.

Pancake theory according to which

the fires, although not melting the steel,

heated up sufficiently to cause the floors

weakened by the airplane strikes

to break loose from the steel columns,

and this started a chain reaction.

So, you would expect then from that theory,

which is the official theory,

to see a whole stack of floors

piled up on top of each other

and then a spindle of core columns standing too.

The core of each of the Twin Towers

consisted of 47 massive steel columns.

If the floors had broken loose from them,

these columns would have still been

sticking up in the air a thousand feet.

The plane did not cut all those core columns.

We designed the buildings to take the impact

of the Boeing 707 hitting the building at any location.

The building probably could sustain

multiple impacts of jetliners.

...that the plane flew straight into the building.

Straight through, right.

So you're saying that the building

was actually designed to cope with a hole like that

and would still survive?

Yes, it was.

If you would drop, say a billiard ball

from the top of the World Trade Center, 110 floors up there

it would have taken 8 to 10 seconds to hit the ground

encountering no resistance whatsoever.

The Twin Towers came down in nearly free fall speed.

outwards over 500 ft.

This means that floors shattered at an average rate

of about ten floors per second.

There is no scenario for a pancake effect

of buildings falling

that allows them to fall at a rate of free fall.

And what can do that?

What can move mass out of the way?

Explosives.

that are interconnected,

how do you get them to fail simultaneously

so the core disappeared.

It looks like those core columns were cut.

The way we do this is by cutting the beam out at angle.

I started looking at the molten metal.

All three buildings, both towers

in the rubble, in the basement areas, and Building 7

there were these pools of molten metal.

You get down below and you see molten steel.

Molten steel running down the channel wheels.

Like you were in a foundry.

Like lava of a volcano.

He said that molten steel was also found

underneath World Trade Center 7.

So I'm looking through the official reports,

what do they say about the molten metal?

They say nothing.

Wait a minute. This is important evidence.

Where they come from?

Thermite is so hot that it'll just cut through steel,

through the structural steel for example,

like a knife through butter.

The products are molten iron and aluminum oxide

which goes off primarily as a dust.

You know, there's enormous dust clouds

you can imagine, when you assemble

these chemicals on a large scale.

Molten metal pools under both towers

after they collapsed, and Building 7.

Now, Building 7 wasn't even hit by a jet.

Part of the problem is that most people

simply don't know much about Building 7.

due to the extraordinary secrecy

surrounding its collapse.

This was a 47 storey skyscraper.

This building fell at 5.25

It was not hit by a plane.

This building had fires on only 2 or 3 floors.

...and it was brought down by what we know
