The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7
Author: David Ray Griffin
Publisher: Interlink Publishing
ISBN: 162371026X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
At 5:20 in the afternoon on 9/11, Building 7 of the World Trade Center collapsed, even though it had not been struck by a plane and had fires on only a few floors. The reason for its collapse was considered a mystery. In August 2008, NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) issued its report on WTC 7, declaring that "the reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery" and that “science is really behind what we have said.” Showing that neither of these claims is true, David Ray Griffin demonstrates that NIST is guilty of the most serious types of scientific fraud: fabricating, falsifying, and ignoring evidence. He also shows that NIST’s report left intact the central mystery: How could a building damaged by fire—not explosives—have come down in free fall?

9-11 on Trial
Author: Victor Thorn
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780930852870
Category : Building failures
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
What if the "official" version of events on 9/11 could be disproven solely on the basis of physics, mathematical equations, scientific formulas, physical evidence, and expert testimony - without the use of a single "conspiracy theory"? Might this dramatically alter your perspective on 9-11 and the war and "security" policies that are based on it? "9/11 on Trial" focuses on physics: the behavior of fire, steel, and falling bodies, to prove conclusively that the collapses of the three WTC towers were not caused by jet fuel, but were in fact exactly what they looked like: controlled demolitions. The approach is question, answer and cross-examination, in eighteen "witness statements" covering forensic aspects of the collapses. Each statement is constructed from citations from 48 different works by expert researchers. The inescapable verdict: government insiders were guilty of perpetrating 9/11 for their own ulterior motives.
