Every September has a tinge of foreboding in it these days, with jittery stock markets and the shadow of 9/11 greeting us after the long Labor Day weekend. Over the years a large "9/11 Truth Movement" has grown on the web, joined by firefighters, building inspectors, engineers, demolition experts, physicists. The bottom line? They don't buy the "official" government, (Bush Government when it was written), explanation of that fateful day. There are simply too many unanswered questions and here are some of the most nagging ones about that day--most totally ignored by the 9/11 fact finding commission.
How could all 19 hijackers have been identified in less than 72 hours and before any crime scene investigation? And how come none of their names appeared on passenger lists of the flights in question?
How could paper passports be found in the rubble of 9/11, while 8 indestructible black boxes are missing?
How could the entire US air defense command fail to notice or intercept four simultaneously hijacked airliners within 50 miles of the nations capitol?
How could the hijackers, under great stress and with little training, execute precision turns and low altitude maneuvers required to strike the Pentagon--maneuvers some believe could only be performed by a computer.
Why were all confiscated videos of the pentagon strike never released?
Why were no remnants of the massive airliner engines ever found at the pentagon?
What about the reports that early firefighters on the scene claimed there were only a few pockets of fire that could be easily controlled?
If these fires were hot enough to destroy the inner core of the towers then why were people seen alive and waving for help in the breached sections of the damaged buildings?
How is it that both towers could fail so quickly when aviation fuel cannot burn hot enough in the atmosphere to melt of even seriously weaken steel?
Why did both these towers fail so spectacularly, in less than 2 hours, when no steel frame building has ever failed due to fire--even after burning 18 to 24 hours?
How could the buildings collapse at freefall speed, meeting no resistance whatsoever as they fell?
What caused the explosive "squibs," jets of smoke clearly seen by millions at intervals just below the point of collapse?
What about the numerous eye and ear witnesses, including experienced firefighters, who claim they heard a series of explosions before the collapse?
Why were the massive central steel beams so neatly and incisively cut at exact lengths instead of being one massive tangle of twisted steel?
Why did Mayor Rudolph Giuliani instantly authorized the shipment of WTC rubble to China and India for recycling, thus removing vital evidence before the investigation could begin?
How could concrete be pulverized to powder, something only achieved by the power of high explosives.
Why were the towers closed on the days prior to the attack for a major installation of some supposed "networking" system, with scores of men carrying in tools and equipment?
Why was thermite and other nanoparticles found only in high explosives found in the 9/11 debris dust?
What was so hot at the base of the two towers that it created a pool of molten steel and a fire that burned for over one month even though they were smothered under millions of tons of soot and debris?
How could building #7 collapse when it was not struck by a plane, sustained no serious damage, and only had a few fires burning on the lower floors?
How come building #7 was reported to have collapsed by news outlets, even though it still remained standing and would not fall for another 20 minutes?
How come building #7 clearly collapses from the top down, with the roof clearly buckling inward on all videos, when there was no damage or even fire at the top of the building?
What did Larry Silverstein, heavily insured owner, mean when he said "we made the decision to "pull it" on building #7--a term associated with deliberate demolition.
If deliberately destroyed, when were the complex high explosives, wiring and other equipment required for the job installed? (Clearly not during the chaos of 9/11 !!!)
There are just a few of the many unanswered question concerning 9/11--an issue that will be the "who killed Kennedy?" of this generation. While we may never learn the full truth about that day, these questions, ignored, unanswered, dismissed, will forever leave a shadow of conspiracy and doubt over the event. Yet there are many who have undertaken to research and dispose of these questions as "myths" generated by the overactive imaginations of people in the shadow of the Bush administration. For those of you who would like to investigate possible answers to the questions listed above, try this link, sent to me by a trusted friend, Richard Gylgatyon.
I might also add that there is a whole barn full of article on the web that "debunk the 9/11 debunkers," and systematically refute all the attempts to explain away the "9/11 myths." Just google it.
Then again, perhaps we should all wait for Dick Cheney's memoirs?
