What really happened on 911?

To those dickweeds who still blindly parrot the Popular Mechanics myth. Listen up and listen up good yall. The Mechanics whitewash was written by a cousin of Micheal Chertoff, here is a link if you dont know who the hell he is.

the March 2005 issue of Popular Mechanics (PM) plumbs new depths of nepotism and Hearst-style "yellow journalism" with its cover story about 9/11. PM's senior researcher, 25-year-old Benjamin Chertoff, authored a propagandistic cover story entitled "Debunking 9/11 Lies" which seeks to discredit all independent 9/11 research that challenges the official version of events.

"Conspiracy theories can't stand up to the hard facts," the cover reads. "After an in-depth investigation, PM answers with the truth," it says. But the article fails to provide evidence to support its claims and doesn't answer the key question: What caused the collapses of the twin towers and the 47-story World Trade Center 7?

The Chertoff article goes on to confront the "poisonous claims" of 16 "myths" spun by "extremist" 9/11 researchers like myself with "irrefutable facts," mostly provided by individuals in the employ of the U.S. government.

But who is Benjamin Chertoff, the "senior researcher" at Popular Mechanics who is behind the article? American Free Press has learned that he is none other than a cousin of Michael Chertoff, the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

This means that Hearst paid Benjamin Chertoff to write an article supporting the seriously flawed explanation that is based on a practically non-existent investigation of the terror event that directly led to the creation of the massive national security department his "cousin" now heads. This is exactly the kind of "journalism" one would expect to find in a dictatorship like that of Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

Because the manager of public relations for Popular Mechanics didn't respond to repeated calls from American Free Press, I called Benjamin Chertoff, the magazine's "senior researcher," directly.

Chertoff said he was the "senior researcher" of the piece. When asked if he was related to Michael Chertoff, he said, "I don't know." Clearly uncomfortable about discussing the matter further, he told me that all questions about the article should be put to the publicist ? the one who never answers the phone.

Benjamin's mother in Pelham, New York, however, was more willing to talk. Asked if Benjamin was related to the new Secretary of Homeland Security, Judy said, "Yes, of course, he is a cousin."

That depends on departmental policy. In some departments they give the 9-1-1 dispatcher some of the discretion in determining if it was indeed an accident, in others (like mine) an officer is assigned to every 9-1-1 call to follow up on regardless of what the person said ("misdial", "was cleaning the phone", "my dog did it" etc etc). The officer does not ALWAYS have to respond, although most of the time they should, but they at least have to be satisfied that there is not problem there, they can use what the dispatcher says and a call back themselves to determine this. I have responded to many a 9-1-1 call where the person told the dispatcher it was a mistake only to find that there was a real problem. Anyway to simply answer the question it depends on what the department having jurisdiction over your address normally does. You may hear nothing more about it or an officer may show up to check.

I would disagree with your analysis. The acceleration of graviy is 32 ft/sec squared, which means in the first second, the floor would fall 32 feet, the second 63 feet and so forth. I am not sure what the height of the floors were in the towers, but the total height is around 1360 feet. At 80 stories that is about 17 feet per floor. As each floor fell, the combined weight collapsed the next floor down. By the time it had collapsed several floors, the combined weight would have just kept falling, with very little "hesitation" at each floor. "About" free fall speed is what I would expect. Maybe 10-12 seconds for the total fall? The "resistance" of each floor would be measured in hundredths of a second.

The idea that someone snuck into the buildinds, removed lots of steel supports, packed explosives around hundreds of pillars, without anyone noticing is, well, kind of silly. Invisible construction workers? Really quiet power tools? And not one of the hundreds of workers needed to pull this off happened to mention to anyone that they were setting up a building for demolition with people in it in secret? Either before or after the fact? NOT ONE person who worked or visited the building over the course of several weeks needed to do this preparation saw ANYBODY doing this?

Of course there were explosions inside the building! Everything from water coolers popping and fire extinguishers cracking open to soda pop cans in vending machines, water tanks, air compressor tanks to electrical equipment, hundreds of sources!

You are going to have to do much better than this to come up with a believable conspiracy theory.

It is just too terrifying for me to let myself even imagine that it could have been an inside job, as you call it. I suppose anything is possible, but that is quite a stretch. So many lives lost and so many lives changed forever. Such an evil I can hardly take it all in, still.

Definitely an inside as Bush was planning to invade Iraq a full 8 months BEFORE 911 even happened.

Motlen metal was NOT flowing through the impact floors. But even if it was...EVERY metal can become molten, and if its that hot it will look orange or yellow! Come on! Haven't you ever seen stuff on TV about smelting plants or places where they die cast stuff? Giant buildings full of molten metal of all kinds, and the metal will be anywhere from red to yellow, depending on how hot it is.

You need to get back to reality.

"The Bush apologists physics dont hold up to scrutiny"

You're not a civil engineer, therefore your opinion doesn't matter. A large number of top civil engineers determined it happened as reported. Since you failed to provide the physical analysis you're claiming doesn't stand up to scrutiny, I must assume you are simply lying or making stuff up.

2.

"why so many videos all over the net showing survivors and firemen, cops and reporters all mentioning explosions inside the buildings?"

Eyewitness testimony is so notoriously unreliable as to be almost completely useless, especially in distinguishing two different loud sounds in stressful situations.

3.

Shut up. Nobody cares about your stupid conspiracy theories.

When they reinstate the draft I hope your # comes up. If you really believe this line of crap, it scares me that people like this live in my country.

Look out for the black helicopters. And hey watch out for that "vast right wing conspiracy" too

Not more of this crap. "Popular Mechanics" ran an article, put out a book, and had a TV documentary (yesterday) debunking all of the 9/11 conspiracy myths. They really made "lose Change" look like idiots.

Interesting. :)
