Yesterday

 

   Yesterday was 9/11/2021.  Twenty years of yesterdays ago it was 9/11/2001 and that was a sad day here in America.  Three thousand innocent human lives were lost and to me a great hoax was played on our nation.  A dozen and a half Saudi terrorists slammed two commercial aircraft into The Twin Towers and they fell, along with one other building, Building 7, that wasn’t struck by any aircraft.  About this time, you are saying to yourself, “Here we go again.  Another nut cake, conspiracy theorist.”   But, if you force yourself to read on, you will see that I am a believer in science, logic and truth.  Those are not bad things.

   What we all saw on national television on 9/11/2001 was two commercial airliners smash into the side of each of the Twin Towers.  An hour or so later, each of those buildings collapsed and fell to the ground at approximately the acceleration of a freely falling body.  They did not tip.  They each landed exactly on their base.  This fall seemed impossible to me, unless the steel beam structure was completely out of the way of the fall.  It seemed that any beams, not melted, would slow the fall and unless the beams were completely melted, they would cause the building to tip sideways during its fall.  The iron beam structure had to be completely out of the way.  My next thought was that aircraft engines fly from our West Coast to Hawaii, in 10 to 12 hours.  They are made of much the same metal as the Tower beams and burn the same fuel as the fuel burning in the two towers.  The kerosene in the engine is compressed and mixed with forced oxygen for a maximum energy (heat) burn and yet in ten to twelve hours of being exposed to this burn, the engines do not melt.

   Yet, those beams were missing for those two falls.  Fact is, the ambient temperature where the lower beams were located, allowed first responders to climb to the 70th floor and save some folks from the disaster.  This is because heat rises.  The temperature required to melt the beams is about 2800 degrees F and kerosene burns at about 1800 degrees F.  My source for these temperatures is ae911truth.org.  They are architects and engineers (experts) and do not identify any organization as the perpetrator, but are asking for an unbiased, credible, scientific, reinvestigation of the collapse of 9/11.  I don’t see them as “conspiracy theorists.”  They are pretty straight forward in their analysis.  Their request is reasonable.

Mechanics Illustrated came up with yet another theory.  I don’t believe that anyone other than a few of their subscribers took it seriously.  The theory was that each floor below the impact fell from the weight and force of the floors above falling on it.  If this were true the fall may have tipped and the collapse was not visibly plop …….. plop …… plop …. plop .. plop . plop, it was whoosh.

   Since 9/11, we have watched two buildings demolished.  The Trump Casino in Atlantic City and the remaining half of the Surfside, FL condo.  Both buildings fell at the speed of freefall and both landed on their own footprint.  That is what modern demolition looks like.  It was what the Twin Towers looked like.

   My friend Mike, a construction foreman for commercial structures said, “When I saw the first tower fall, I thought Bin Laden just won the lottery.  When I saw the second one fall, I thought demolition.”  Demolition is not the conclusion of herd mentality.  I believe any well informed independent thinker will reach that conclusion.
