    There are video's where you can see metal beams and cement turn to dust.

    Let that sink in - you are seeing metal beams and concrete - turn to dust - in seconds.

    Superweapon / New toy the PTB were playing with? I very much think so!

    There is a higher res version of this video somewhere on youtube, but even @ 240p you can see an entire support column being vapourised ... (@45+ seconds, and again at about 1:20)

    Steel did not turn to dust.

    If it did, what was sold to China?
    What did "burners" cut up for months over in the NJ scrap yards?
    What were those acres of mountains of wreckage doing there well into April 2002?
    What was loaded onto barges crossing the Hudson?
    What was loaded onto trucks bound for barges?
    What was lifted off the rubble pile by huge cranes, loaders or grapples?
    What was cut up on the pile with acetylene torches, thermal lances and chop saws?
    What were the armies of first responders scrambling over and into for months?

    Some of the steel ended up mixed into "meteorites." The volume is unknown at this time.

    See PDF page 40 for the quantity of steel wreckage that was transported away from Ground Zero.

    The remaining parts of the buildings that were not dustified the morning of 9/11 .

    And how do we know how much steel was sent to China ... I am unaware of any reports on that matter that I would trust any further than I could throw Chris Christie.

    Here's another closer view, from a side angle, of the WTC site, shortly after 9/11. The million tons of concrete and steel that were in the main two towers are simply, almost entirely, not there. Those towers were massive. The opening post of this thread gives one an idea of their size. I have been in and around the WTC towers. Massive. What should have been perhaps a 20 story pile of debris is hardly a 1 story pile where the two towers were. Most of the remaining debris is from the other buildings in the World Trade Center.

    Here's closer up views of WTC 5 and WTC 6. A partial view of WTC 7 shows behind WTC 6, and what remained of the first few stories of WTC 1's northwest corner facade shows in front of WTC 6. These remains presumably provided most of the steel to cut up and ship off.

    That 11 story building I posted a "controlled demo" video of left a pile almost 2 stories high.... extrapolate that to 110 stories and 20 sounds pretty damn close to me



    110 stories is not massive, it's INCONCEIVABLE to someone who has not lived in a major city... there are not that many 100+ story buildings in the US.

    The twin towers were build more massively than is common for such tall buildings. The lower levels were dense with concrete and steel, to hold the weight of the upper levels, and the upper levels did not taper down to something more narrow, but kept their full width all the way up.

    I had driven into Manhattan from New Jersey both before and after the towers were built. The first time I drove in after the towers were built, while still perhaps ten miles away in New Jersey, across the river, it took my breath away. Those two towers absolutely dominated the lower Manhattan skyline, the home to what had once been the world's tallest building, the Empire State building, which could hardly be seen from that distance and angle.

    Find WTC 6 in the image posted just below the above comment. See my close up of WTC 6, later in that same post, or see my "map" of where each WTC building was, that I posted above in Post #16.

    WTC 6 was (and partially remained at) 8 stories tall.

    Now find the smoking holes where WTC 1 and 2 were, in that same image posted above.

    The remains of WTC 1 and 2 are far lower than the 8 stories of WTC 6 ... not 2 or 3 times higher as would have been the case if their million tons of concrete and steel were still mostly piled up in the WTC complex.

    There is an obvious difference between a 1 or 2 story pile of debris, and a 20 story pile of debris, and the comparison with the 8 story WTC 6 makes it obvious that the WTC 1 and 2 debris pile is closer to 1 or 2 than it is to 20.

    As Judy Wood would famously ask: "Where did the towers go?"

    I'm not so sure that there should be a pile of ruble about 20 stories high from the ground level up Paul.
    Remember that the basement of the wtc buildings was about 45ft deep and that much of the steel columns fell outward instead of into their own footprint and ended up scattered all over the area as is clearly visible in the superb pictures that you shared here.

    I do agree that at first, it looks weird to see two massive buildings like that crumble up without a massive pile (20 stories high) of ruble as an end result, but if you add these two facts (45ft basement and outward projection of outer columns) then it becomes more of a probability no?

    i think that will be a way to look at WHY it was done this way (dustification):

    you need a false flag event to invade some countries in the middle east and on the way make some profit BUT(and a big but) you dont want to make too much mess to take care of afterwards.... so how would you destroy such a big infrastructure without taking down 5 blocks with it?... im looking at it from a perspective of a rescue officer (my army spacialization). ive been in enough staged rubble sites of demolished buildings and i know very well how much rubble and mess can be left only from a 3 story building. when i look at the pictures that was presented by Paul i see one funny thing, and is that all you need to do to clean that kind of rubble site is a vacume cleaner and a magnet crane.

    when buildings fall there are certin types of collapse's that we in the military used to categorize the level of destruction. but this kind of site doesnt fall in to any category.... if it was what the MSM said it was then in those pictures you would see way more colleteral damage then presented.

    That 45 ft would be about 4 stories, or about 22 stories worth of pre-collapsed material, at best, had the basements been mostly empty. We're still missing some place to put at least 88 stories worth of material.

    The proportion of concrete and steel below ground, in those basement levels, would have been even higher than above ground, to support the 110 stories above ground, so would have provided, and from all I've seen did provide, even less room for ruble from above to collapse into the basement levels than did the above ground levels.

    Everything I have ever seen of the demise of WTC 1 and 2 shows these towers dustifying.

    Nothing I have ever seen shows anything remotely resembling their million tons of concrete and steel in the resulting debris pile.

    btw: There is another truther/researchers who's name now escapes me (something like Dan Beagle) who used this exact scene as evidence that nukes where used, also claiming that this section of the building turned to dust.

    In fact, most of what was left of the towers where the steel columns. This can easily be verified by some searching in the web.

    As for the Thermite, not sure about that either
    Well, dust samples that where collected at the scene contained nano particles of molten metal, which is a smoking gun for the
    presence of thermite.
    a source

    Maybe she makes a better case for the existence of a free energy device in her book, but from these vids, I can only deduct that the evidence is flawed to say the least.
    Nukes would make much more sense to me, this "particle beam" stuff is a bit fantastic for me... BUT, the lack of glass and toilets and file cabinets are pretty interesting & not as explained by nuclear explosion.

    I agree the "beams turning to dust" on video wasn't conclusive, though interesting when mixed with this "beam" idea... but definitely not proof of anything.

    "free energy" seems like a huge leap even if there is some "beam" used...

    I won't be buying the book
    Copper wire under high voltage and current loading, over time.... will lose approximately 2 percent of it's mass, and go brittle.

    Most electricians are aware of the brittleness factor of copper with a history of extreme loading... and some are aware of the loss of mass aspect. Some outside of the electrical trades are aware of this.

    Few pay attention to the seemingly 'pure anomaly' aspect of this data point.

    One of those things that is sort of quietly known by some, but never talked about.

    It IS possible for a strong enough flash of particular kinds of energy to break the bonding in the cement. MAYBE. But it would probably fry every bit of neural, chemical,and muscular (etc) structure in a biological, within many city blocks. We'd of probably heard stories of spontaneous combustion and whatnot. The radiation breaching the entire vertical building structure, is probably not going to be happening.

    We do know that the buildings were basically condemned and it would have taken more expenditure to properly remove the asbestos in the building complex -----than the building complex was worth, if it had no asbestos in it. They were collectively known as one of the (if not the) greatest money pit white elephants in all landholding-building 'for sale' history.

    Anyone touching the buildings could not even afford to have the buildings plus a billion dollars given them..to buy the complex, as the cost of asbestos removal was well into the billions of cost and it was mandated that it had to be done. IIRC the port authority had the buildings in hand an no single buyer was ever going to be found, in any part of the world..... as the entire complex was built like a bomb that would kill any company or person who ever touched it.

    And suddenly Silverstien buys the complex.

    Which is utter complete bull****, so we know ---- just from the sales angle alone, that it was an inside job.
    There was stories and some footage somewhere of sudden spontanouus combustion happening.

    John Hutchison also demonstrated this with his experiments I believe.

    I think you will find the demonstration and evidence in this video by Andrew Johnson.

    What would you have them do? Leave everything in place and dissect it surgically? The engineers didn't get into gear until OCT 5th, save for a couple who were called in to determine where giant cranes could set up safely.

    The steel was cut up into manageable lengths and wholesale carting began almost immediately, even before WTC7 fell at 5:20.

    I think everyone reading this thread should watch the NIST videos that show the scene immediately after the towers collapsed. You will see piles four or five stories above grade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdWeQ1aca0I

    One must consider that the subgrade levels were at least 70 feet deep, so large quantities could have been crushed down into that space that used to be the plaza, concourse and underground parking. The point is that the towers were EXploded, sending debris upwards of 300 feet away from the footprint in some locations.

    The concrete slabs did not provide structural support for the towers, aside from some limited amount of lateral stability. The steel was raised many floors above where the first concrete was poured for office or mechanical floors.

    The steel was thickest near the foundation and was much thinner near the roof. The plates that were welded together to create the exterior panels also varied considerably in thickness. The core columns near the base had plates 4"
    thick and were box shaped, while the upper core structure were thinner I or H shapes.

    All of the specifications for floor elevations in the subgrade can be found on-line. You can view the floors of the towers as well. See here.
    http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evid...ns/frames.html

    I agree that more could have been done to save interesting pieces from the scrap yards. A few did attract attention, thankfully.

    Wow! I never knew they began moving debris so quickly. That fact in itself seems amazing, I wouldn't expect that to be one of the first things they'd decide to do.

    Here's a picture showing that there really wasn't much volume to upper floors.



    That does not detract from a video showing what appears to be a steel beam turning to dust. I don't buy the beam weapon, but given various accounts of paint blistered cars and molten steel underground i wouldn't rule out other technologies.

    I think everyone reading this thread should watch the NIST videos that show the scene immediately after the towers collapsed. You will see piles four or five stories above grade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdWeQ1aca0I
    Would that four or five story pile (still not the 22 expected) be the southwest corner of WTC 3, and/or the northeast corner of WTC 1, a few stories of each of which remained partially standing, in one corner each.

    I can't say for sure, of course, but the opening few minutes of that video might be of the northeast corner of WTC 1, after they had partially knocked out the side of WTC 6 closest to WTC 1. If so, the workers watching the cranes work would be standing at roughly street level, where the primary WTC 1 debris pile would have been, had the building collapsed, mostly in place.

    The point is that the towers were EXploded, sending debris upwards of 300 feet away from the footprint in some locations.
    Yes - some debris exploded sideways. That's one of the complexities of this analysis. It seems that several mechanisms were used to put on this show. We should not ask whether it was mechanism A, B, or C that destroyed the towers, but rather which mechanism provided the most substantial portion of the destructive energy.

    Steel did not turn to dust.
    Mainstream media even disagrees with you ...

    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    Of course, even that explosive power, that sent large steel beams sideways at high velocity, might not have been generated by conventional explosives.

    Anyway you look at it, the amount of energy that it takes to generate that much fine dust, from that much steel and concrete, that fast (10 or 11 seconds per tower) is immense ... truly immense.

    Try breaking a concrete block into talcum powder fine dust with a sledge hammer. The finer you try to get the dust, the more energy you will expend, and the more chemical/molecular bonds you will need to break.

    Whatever generated those two massive dust clouds did an awesome amount of work (in the physics sense of "work" -- energy expended) in a very short period of time.

    I'm not very deep into the Dr Wood material, how does she account for the explosions?

    I don't recall, to be honest. Her focus is on documenting the primary effect visible in photographs taken that day, one of immense energy and strange effects, over several parts of southern Manhattan.

    My view is that other, secondary, mechanisms were also used, from the time the planes (whatever they were) impacted the towers, until the towers were destroyed.
