U. of Iowa Physicist Weighs in on WTC Collapse

Perhaps unsurprisingly, even with the enormous quantity of information that is available, people still don't know the facts surrounding the World Trade Centre collapse on September 11, 2001. Crockett Grabbe, a Professor of Physics at the University of Iowa, was recently inteviewed on International News Net (INN) regarding the WTC collapse. The interview sparked some strong reactions, specifically, amidst supporters of mainstream media explanations surrounding the occurrences of the 9/11 attack.

But for those who are still unaware of the facts, there were many eyewitness accounts and corroborating video footage of several phenomena that occured just prior to the first tower collapse which look like jets of debris and dust suddenly and violently issuing from various locations on the side of the tower. According to experts, these are consistent with the effects of demolition explosions. Not only, but eyewitness fire department personel who were at the scene are recorded on camera as describing what they saw and heard—a rapid series of loud explosions coinciding with the fall of the first tower.

Interestingly, the smaller WTC 7 building also came down, but it wasn't hit by anything. The lease owner of the WTC, Larry Silverstein, was later interviewed regarding WTC 7, and this is what he had to say:

"I remember getting a call from the fire dept. commander, telling me that they were not sure they would be able to contain the fire. I said, you know, we've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is 'pull it'. And they made the decision to pull, and we watched the building collapse."

Larry Silverstein himself admitted WTC 7 was pulled. However, upon closer examination, the latter portion of his statement does not coincide with the facts. One doesn't wire up a building with demolition charges in a matter of a few hours. Demolition experts say that the process of preparing a building for demolition requires weeks of planning for structural analysis and selection of the proper location for demolition charges. Why is Larry Silverstein lying? And since there were demolition charges used in WTC 7, what is the possibility that they were used in the other buildings? Especially considering the eyewitness accounts of firefighters and the rapid series of loud explosions with the collapse of the first tower?

Beyond a reasonable doubt.

The documentary 911: In Plane Site, is a very compelling documentary on the 9/11 attacks which goes into much more detail and supports my contentions with clear and indisputable evidence. The first 25 minuntes discuss the Pentagon attack, and the remaing 45 minutes discuss the WTC attack.
