I. Foreword
"Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper." (George Orwell)
"Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper." (George Orwell)
|
||
Translation: The truth is pretty outrageous! And,
exposing this outrageous truth will implicate the true terrorists, those
who are guilty.
|
The perfect crime is one that is so wicked that no one would want to believe that any fellow human being was capable of it.
II. IntroductionThe 9/11 events were unprecedented. Research shows that the perpetrators used extraordinary means to conceal their modus operandi (M.O.). These facts create a need for a new vocabulary. Also, the use of generic language acknowledges that an observed process may not yet be well understood. This alternate terminology allows for the description of an observed process without unduly biasing the observed results. I don't know what caused this, but I want to describe succinctly what I see without prejudicing the observations. See below.

| Figure 2. "The Snowball."
A minute before this photo was taken from the southeast of the WTC
complex, WTC2 (110 stories) would have been towering over Bankers Trust
(40 stories). Bankers Trust (BT) is the black building across the
street from WTC2, and is between WTC2 and the camera. The building in
the distance is WTC7 (47 stories). The whitish mass of debris is round like a "snowball" and appears to be about all that is left of the upper 2/3 of WTC2. The lower 1/3 appears to still be intact and little material with little material having fallen below the snowball. This implies that the "snowball" phenomena has been progressing down the building faster than free-falling objects would travel in air. Essentially no material has fallen below the snowball. There is no building above the snowball. Nearly 2/3 of the building is missing. It is hard to believe that the snowball is large enough to contain all of the missing material. Where did it go? (9/11/01) Source |
Figure 3. "The Bubbler." This
view of WTC1 (from the northeast) looks like a "bubbler" of dust.
This does not look like a "collapse." Material is being launched upward
and outward. The whitish material arcs over and begins to fall
downward while the southern portion (away from the camera) appears to
shoot straight up. (9/11/01) Cropped from Source |

much more people and equipment present. So, it is believed that this

The Kuwaiti fires sent smoke out and up. The WTC sent opaque dust
out and up and in the same way. For the WTC, the white-looking dust
cloud stays together as it moves in a southern direction. It appears
that when it gets above a particular altitude, it just disperses and no
longer stays together. The same is true for the Kuwaiti fires. In the
WTC photo, the cloud trail appears to have a kink in it where it changes
behavior. The same appears to be true for the Kuwait photo, but it's
hard to tell. Why are auto emissions and issue? What is air pollution?

With increasing height and distance from the source, the concentration of the small and medium particles (0.06 < r < 0.6 mm) increased, while the coarse particles concentration (r > 0.5 mm) decreased, mainly because of sedimentation."

Perhaps there is a reason why these same
grapplers are not used at metal foundries to reach into ovens of molten
steel. Humans wear fairly long protective gloves when barbecuing on a
backyard grill. This is done to protect against radiated heat as well
as conducted heat (e.g. bumping the grill, getting spattered). Pokers
used to adjust logs in an indoor fireplace can't be held long without a
thermally-insulated glove or handle. The temperature at which a fire
poker becomes too uncomfortable to hold is about the same temperature at
which hydraulic equipment is permanently damaged. Note, backyard grills and fireplaces are not generally glowing red hot nor do they contain pools of molten steel.

Griffin seems to be saying, "all I need is the testimony of people on the payroll."
-- Tully, Loizeaux, and Robertson were all paid millions of our tax dollars. Are they unbias witnesses?
-- Since when are scientific questions settled by the number of "items" Google turns up??? -- Is it Griffin's opinion that counts, not real data and hard science? |

It appears that David Ray Griffin values the hearsay of those on
the payroll more than physical facts. This is very troubling. The molten
metal myth seems to have been created as part of the official cover-up
story. The above chart which shows the maximum operating temperature for
hydraulics supports what NYT reporter Jim Dwyer has said. However,
Griffin insults Dwyer by stating he "fully displayed his ignorance of crucial facts."
But the crucial facts support Dwyer, namely, that high temperatures
would have indeed permanently damaged hydraulic equipment. The facts in
this matter are well-established and are available in mechanical
engineering handbooks as well as on the internet [link]. It appears that Griffin is actually the one who has "the tendency to favor a priori arguments over empirical evidence."
A common technique for deception is to accuse his opponent of what the accuser does to hopefully put him above suspicion. Another example of this deception is for someone to accuse his opponent of "ad hominem attacks." In reality, the one making accusations of "ad hominem attacks" is actually the one committing "ad hominem attacks."
But, let us look at the actual article David Ray Griffin said he quoted from.

Steven Jones often talks about the "pools of molten metal" and
"ponds of molten metal" in the basements of the WTC towers. He's also
repeated the story of the steel-toed boots of the workers melting "after
just a few hours" doing work on "the pile" at the WTC site.
Steven Jones also states that you need to run experiments to prove something. OK, if he's going to use that story of the workers' steel-toed boots melting because of the molten metal on "the pile," he needs to do experiments. (This is his rule.) A true scientist values observations and careful analysis of evidence as essential, whether the evidence already exists or if it is obtained through an experiment. So, if Steven Jones believes experiments must be conducted to confirm anything, then he needs to put on some steel-toed work boots and slosh across molten metal and then report back his results about what happened to the boots. I think it was said the boots melted in "a few hours" on the pile, which means at least two hours. So, Jones needs to stand in the molten metal for two hours to see what happens to the boots. |

| VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: (from above video) George Pataki: This was the South Tower. This was 104, 106 stories tall, and this is what is left. Up there was the North Tower. And you look, and you see there's no concrete, there's very little concrete. All you see is aluminum and steel..
Pataki: The concrete was pulverized, and I was down here Tuesday, and it was like you were on a foreign planet. All of Lower Manhattan, not just this site. From river to river there was dust, powder, 2-3 inches thick. The concrete was just, er – pulverized and…
Reporter: What's to explain Governor, the smoke that still comes out of the [inaudible (fire)]? Pataki: There is still fire down below, there's such an incredibly deep pile of rubble and the tower goes down 5, 6 stories underground that, er, there's still fire underneath. Fireman: This is how it's been since Day One. Oh, it's unbelievable. This is six weeks later, almost six weeks later. And as we get closer, to the center of this it gets hotter and hotter. It's probably 1500 degrees. We've had some small windows into what we thought was a board room(?)/war zone(?) some point (?)[inaudible], and it looked like an oven, you know - just roaring inside. It just had a bright, bright, reddish orange color.
Fireman: See that stuff he's pulling out?
Person: What was that chief?Fireman: Ya know we're going to hold off on the water. You see that stuff he's pulling out right now? [pointing to a mechanical digger]. Person: Yeah Fireman: It's red hot. If we hit it with too much steam he won't be able to see what he's doing. Person: Great
Fire Chief: You see how
this debris is still smoking? That's from the fires that are still
burning. Eight weeks later we still got fires burning. Every now and
then ,one of the pieces of equipment will dig in, will open up a small
area. The oxygen will rush in and you'll get this plume of brown-black
smoke coming up. That's because that fire just got more Oxygen. So I
mean these things are burning. At one point I think they were about 2800
degrees.
V/O: Underground fires, ignited by burning jet fuel, smoldered for months, fed by molten steel and buried carpeting, office furniture, wood panelling and paper.
Woman in hard hat: Steel-toed
boots is one of the biggest things. Out still on the rubble it's still,
believe um, 1100 degrees. The guys' boots just melt within a few hours.
Fireman : You'd get down
below and you'd see molten steel. Molten steel running down the channel
rails, like you're in a foundry. Like lava in a volcano.
V/O: One of the more unusual artefacts to emerge from the rubble is this rock-like object that has come to be known as 'the meteorite'. Man in suit: There's this fused element of - of steel, molten steel and concrete and all of these things, all fused by the heat into one single element. Man in blazer: And almost like a chunk of lava from Kilowaya or Iceland where there are very sharp but —but breakable shards on the ends here.

| [Return to Molten Metal video (Video 2) above.] In NO WAY am I saying the fireman was lying about "molten metal"! In addition, memories can be manipulated. See false memory syndrome for more information.) We're talking about the biggest psyops of all time. The designers of this psyops know how the human psyche operates. Immediately after an event like this, humans need answers. As soon as they're given an answer, they latch onto it and don't want to look back. To look back could be to relive the most horrible moments in someone's life. How many would want to do that? So, they may blindly keep repeating this answer over and over again. Perhaps this is what "brainwashing" looks like, but in a way a lot of this seems self-induced by human nature -- which I believe has something to do with why this world-wide psyops worked so well! Consider the video below. At about 2:10 into the video, Scott Pelley interviews Dr. Tony Dobber and asks him, "Where are all the bodies?" Here is my interpretation of his response: He hesitates, doesn't know what happened to the bodies, realizes there are virtually no bodies and can't understand this, it doesn't make sense, ...but he is desperate for an explanation of what just happened. It doesn't make sense and this is too disorienting for him. He's not an engineer. But, in an attempt to hang on to what he thinks is reality, he grasps for an explanation that will make sense to him (even if it violates the laws of physics). Perhaps this was suggested to him, perhaps it wasn't. The point is that humans desperately need their world to make sense. This fellow represents all of us and this is how the magic trick was pulled off.
There is another doctor interviewed, shortly after Dr. Dobber. He appears to really care about people and is too pained to imagine that most were killed. So, he tries to comfort himself by rationalizing and hoping that they all made it out alive and are OK. Scott Pelly asks, "What do you make of this?" He answers, "Words, fail. Words fail." Well said!

Figure 16. Steam shot from the broken pipe in New York City until the steam was turned off. (7/18/07) USAToday |
from wikipedia:
"In common speech, steam most often refers to the white mist that condenses above boiling water as the hot vapor ("steam" in the first sense) mixes with the cooler air. This mist is made of tiny droplets of liquid water, not gaseous water, so it is no longer technically steam. In the spout of a steaming kettle, the spot where there is no condensed water vapor, where there appears to be nothing there, is steam." "In physical chemistry, and in engineering, steam refers to a vaporized gas. ...It is a pure, completely invisible gas (for mist see below). Pure water steam (unmixed with air, but in equilibrium with water-liquid) has a temperature of around 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure, and occupies about 1,600 times the volume of liquid water (steam can of course be much hotter than the boiling point of water; such steam is usually called superheated steam). In the atmosphere, the partial pressure of water is much lower than 1 atm, therefore gaseous water can exist at temperatures much lower than 100 °C (see water vapor and humidity)." __________________ "When liquid water comes in contact with a very hot substance (such as lava, or molten metal) it can flash into steam very quickly; this is called a steam explosion. Such an explosion was probably responsible for much of the damage in the Chernobyl accident and for many so-called 'foundry accidents'. Steam's capacity to transfer heat is also used in the home: for cooking vegetables, steam cleaning of fabric and carpets, and heating buildings. In each case, water is heated in a boiler, and the steam carries the energy to a target object...." Source |
| The Independent One dead in New York steam explosion By Adam Goldman Published: 19 July 2007 |
| "The steam pipes are sometimes prone to rupture, however. In 1989,
a gigantic steam explosion ripped through a street, killing three
people and sending mud and debris several stories into the air. That explosion was caused by a condition known as "water hammer," the result of condensation of water inside a steam pipe. The sudden mix of hot steam and cool water can cause pressure to skyrocket, bursting the pipe. " |

Steam Pipe Explosion Jolts Midtown; One Person Is Confirmed Dead By Sewell Chan July 18, 2007, 6:18 pm |
| "A steam pipe, 24 inches in diameter, installed in 1924, burst. It may have burst because of cold water from the rain, it may have burst because of a water-main break that we don't know about yet, but in any case, the steam pipe broke and that's what you've seen." |
 |
| Figure 17. Once the valves to those pipes were turned off, the hot vapor was no longer visible. No "fuzzballs" or mysterious "fuming" from the streets followed this event. Even though this truck was subjected to hot steam, it doesn't appear to have suffered any rust damage. It is especially worth noting the size distribution of the debris from the explosion. It varies from large chunks to medium chunks to small chunks of pavement, etc. Images from 9/11 show a fairly uniform dust size with no large chunks, no medium chunks, and no small chunks of concrete floor, wallboard, desks, chairs, etc..

| Besides the fatality, more than 40 people were
injured in the blast. The most seriously hurt was 21-year-old Gregory
McCullough. He was in critical condition Friday in the burn unit of New
York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center. McCullough was driving a tow truck that was thrown into the air by the powerful geyser of steam. He landed in the crater gouged out by the blast and suffered third-degree burns over 80 percent of his body. The pipe that exploded was part of an underground network of mains and service pipes that deliver steam to thousands of customers — including the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and the United Nations — for such things as heat and air conditioning.

| LATimes 1 killed after pipe explodes in New York Terrorism is ruled out in the underground steam blast; dozens are hurt. By Erika Hayasaki, Times Staff Writer July 19, 2007 |
| "Rain and thunderstorms pounded the area most of the day, and
Bloomberg said the most likely cause of the explosion was "cold water
getting into the pipe, and cold water apparently causes these to
explode." In 1989, a steam explosion in New York's Gramercy Park killed three people and sent a geyser of white-hot steam 18 stories into the air." |

| Three Letters Re: Bullet Casting: A (Relatively) Simple Introduction, by AVL |
| "I have two notes regarding casting your own bullets (or any other metal for that matter): First: One piece of safety equipment that you really should have on hand when casting any metal is dry sand. Make sure you have at least 25 pounds of dry sand at the ready. If there is a metal spill, dump the sand on it and it will contain the flow and cool it quickly, plus it will cut [off] the supply of oxygen, preventing fire. Second: A fire extinguisher is good to have to put out fires, but with molten metal flowing all over the place lighting things on fire, a fire extinguisher is not enough. You must never put water on molten metal, because it will cause a steam explosion. [emphasis added] This will burn you, and send splatters of molten metal flying all over the place making your problems much worse. Choose a dry chemical fire extinguisher that is rated to be used on electrical fires. " |

the "steam" appearance along the "northern shore" that cannot be the

shore. (see next figure)

| If there were molten metal in
the basements, wouldn't you expect more "steam" in wet weather than in
dry weather (more steam, as in a steam explosion)? Most every adult
knows not to put water onto a grease or oil fire. What would happen if
they did? "Pure water steam (unmixed with air, but in
equilibrium with water-liquid) has a temperature of around 100 degrees
Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure, and occupies about 1,600 times
the volume of liquid water..." [source]
So, if water is thrown onto hot oil, it will suddenly heat up and
become steam, expanding in volume by about 1,600 times, producing an
explosion. So, perhaps we should ask why there are scientists and engineers who promote "molten metal at the WTC for weeks" stating this as evidence of "a classic controlled demolition"?

Some may be "dust," but I don't see how you can have "dust" sitting on top of a pile after you've hosed it down.

The following two photos are a view east, from West street, and
both are probably early afternoon. The two images appear to be taken on
days not too far apart, if not back-to-back days, because the "stuff" on
the truck is in a similar place. (Note the white buckets as well as the
metal "coil" on top.) perhaps 9/12-13/01? The fire truck has dust on it
more than dirt. I don't see WTC7, so I don't think it's 9/11. In the
first photo, the white fluff is on the wheatchex in the foreground. So,
it hasn't rained, yet. (First big rain I noted was on 9/14/01.) Road
graders have gone through. They've only taken the first pass with the
road-grader/street-cleaner, so that also supports it being early. Maybe
they aren't on back-to-back days. That's a lot of stuff they'd need to
cart away. But, they wouldn't be directing the search dogs for too long.
The flag is not in the above and there are the "day after" flowers on the truck. I've noticed flowers on vehicles that were affected. Perhaps they're for those who died in the vehicle? The rusty coils of stuff looks very rusty in the second photo below.
