Zeitgeist: The Movie Page #6

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.

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.

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.

WTC core column after the collapse.

Notice the "cut" shape and the melted... or "Molten Metal".

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.

For well over 6 weeks after the collapse, Hot spots of 2000F were documented in the debris.

That is 500F hotter than Jet fuel even burns.

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.

The molten steel was found 'three, four and five weeks later, when the rubble was being removed'. He said that molten steel was also found at WTC7.

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 did that 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.

Through Electron Microscope Analysis of the molted WTC Steel and the iron-rich microspheres in the dust,

Dr. Jones found exact traces of not only the "Thermite" explosive compound, but, due to the high sulfur content, "Thermate",

a patented brand of Thermite used in the demolition industry.

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 17:25

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 was a controlled demolition.

Demolitions look just like that, kink in the middle,

and then that building just comes straight down almost at free fall speed.

They first blow one of the central columns so the building falls in on itself.

Building 7 had a classic crimp or wedge.

Its central column was blown out first

so it didn't structurally damaged buildings just a few feet away from it.

The Government's explanation for all three collapses was FIRE.

NEVER before or after 9/11, has any Steel building collapsed from fire.

Collapse characteristics of WTC 1, 2 and 7, fit the CONTROLLED DEMOLITION model EXACTLY.

Oh Did I mention the sub-basement explosions? THAT OCCURRED SECONDS BEFORE THE FIRST PLANE HIT.

Our office was on the B-1 level. As I was talking to a supervisor at 8.46

and all of a sudden we hear - BOOM! An explosion so hard that pushed us upwards.

And it came from the basement, between the B-2 level and the B-3 level.

And when I went to verbalize we heard - BOOM! That impact of the plane on the top.

As I'm walking by the main freight car of the building in the corridor, that's when I got blown.

I mean, the impact of the explosion threw me to the floor

and that's when everything started happening.

All of a sudden a big impact happened again

and all the ceiling tiles were falling down, the light fixtures were falling

You know, you gotta go clear across the hall from 1 to 2 World Trade Center

and then all of a sudden it happened all over again.

It was something else, hit us to the floor, right in the basement you felt it,

the walls were caving in on everything that was going on.

I mean, I know people that got killed in the basement,

I know people that got broken legs in the basement,

people got reconstructive surgery because the wall hit them in the face.

NORAD:

According to standard operating procedure if an FAA flight control notices anything

that suggests a possible hijacking,

controllers are to contact the superior.

If the problem cannot be fixed within about a minute

the superior should ask NORAD (North American Aerospace Command)

to send up or scramble jet fighters to find out what is going on.

NORAD then issues a scramble order to the nearest air force base with fighters on alert.

And although interceptions usually occur within 10 or so minutes,

in this case 80 or so minutes had elapsed before the fighters were even airborne.

It's a mind-bending anomaly.

Not a single US Air Force interceptor turns a wheel until it's too late.

There are no jets at all.

What if they were so confused, and had been so deliberately confused that they couldn't respond?

The reason that they didn't know where to go

was because a number of conflicting and overlapping war game exercises were taking place

that involved the insertion of false radar blips on the radar screens in the north-east air defence sector.

FAA:
"Hi, Boston Center TMU, we have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York.

We need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out."

NORAD:
"Is this real world or exercise?"

There was another exercise - "Vigilant Warrior", which was in fact according to a NORAD source

a live-fly hijack drill being conducted at the same time.
