Since NIST is refusing to release computer visualisations of the collapse of the Twin Towers, why not do our own?

Are there any structural/civil engineers out there, with access to finite element analysis modeling software, who can build simplified models of WTC1, WTC2 and WTC7?

This would constitute a solid project for a civil engineer undergrad/graduate for any academics out there.

What do I think of this evening's BBC's 9/11 Conspiracy Files? Well, it plays into all the standard yellow publishing techniques such as anti-semitism, disrespect for victims, delusional/paranoid, 'comforting' conspiracies, JFK, incompetence, strawmen, incomplete analysis and our good old friends from Popular Mechanics. To be fair, they do give a lot of key points such as WTC7, Shanksville, wargame (only mention 1 wargame though), WMD lie etc. But they don't mention the most crushing evidence like Operation Northwoods or put it into a historical/geopolitical context.

Overall, the attacks on the 9/11 Truth movement were slightly more subtle than in previous hit pieces we have come to be familiar with. Notice for example that all the investigations/witness interviews carried out for the show were for debunking purposes, none were to forward the 9/11 Truth agenda. They skim over many issues (like the wargames or the fact that a Florida FBI informant was living with the hijackers) which I guess was for time reasons. Also, the Pentagon part was way too long for my taste.

If we are to believe the official story, the top parts of the WTC towers above the plane impacts should've fallen to the ground intact, just like in this video:

On November 12th 2001, AA Flight 587 crashed on takeoff in Queens NYC killing 265 people. What are the odds of another NYC plane disaster occuring only 2 months after 9/11? There is also some controversy as to whether the crash was due to a technical fault or by a bomb.

I always found this story suspicious given that the media promptly dismissed it as an accident. Could this have been a failed false-flag operation?

I'm looking for one or more short videos (2-10min) that succinctly present the core points of 9/11 Truth (the non-debatable ones, not the contentious ones). My intent is to load them onto on my mobile phone and to show them when the opportunity arises.

Does anyone have any good links? Preferably higher-quality videos since they will have to be recompressed to a smaller format.

I would like to propose the ‘9/11 MediaWatch Wiki’ which would be a collaborative directory of media outlets, journalists, politicians, governments and other relevant organizations shaping the public debate on the 9/11 Truth movement and their viewpoints towards the movement.

The primary focus of the Wiki would be to collate past and present trends in opinions towards 9/11 Truth activism, observing any shifts in MSM viewpoints over time at the individual, as well as the organizational granularity. The format of the repository would be similar to SourceWatch.org and would prohibit slander.

In this recent debate on UK's Sky News, David Shayler gives a convincing explanations of false flag terrorism and the involvement of multiple intelligence angencies from various governments.

He relates the bizarre Russian spy poison plot to 9/11and 7/7. And manages to cite PNAC, WTC7, Dancing Isrealis, Controlled Demolitions, Automated Pentagon missile defense system, 7/7 fake bombers, 7/7 cancelled Luton train, Mossadeq, NWO and more. Unfortunately, he does mention more contentions issues such as Pentagon hole and no-plane theories. Still, this is pretty amazing for a Murdoch-owned channel!

Thanks David!

The Center for Media and Democracy has an online vote to help them identify the worst spinners and propagandists of 2006.

9/11 Truth movement smearing does not appear in their shortlist, but you can add it at the end.

So please go to the voting page and add an entry for 9/11 Truth. The Deadline for entries is today at 5:00 p.m. CST on Friday, December 1, 2006.

Unfortunately, Dr. Bob Bowman lost by a relatively small margin (44% or 93,662 votes) to incumbent Dave Weldon (56% or 120,070), even though he'd spent 30 times less on his campaign than Curt.

Although the Demoblicans now have the House majority, I doubt they'll do much with regards to 9/11 Truth or impeaching their criminal peers.

Dr. Bob Bowman also had some of the soundest ideas I've yet to come across. Let us not also forget his powerful speeches to push for another 9/11 investigation.

I would like to take this opportunity to commend candidates like Bob Bowman and Cynthia McKinney for pushing the truth to a new level.

LoneLatern.org released a short analysis of the recent collapse footage from the BBC's 9/11 Twin Towers.

It shows the simultaneous squibs quite nicely.

The World Trade Center towers were extremely robust structures, with an inner core formed by 47 box columns each a yard wide, fabricated of steel 4 inches thick near their bases. These columns were abundantly cross-braced and anchored directly onto bedrock. The cores got thinner nearer the top, so that the lower floors were heavier and sturdier, than the lighter top ones.

One can imagine a stripped-down and exaggerated model of the towers would look something like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

Now imagine, you vaporize 2 levels of the shaft two thirds up (as supposedly the plane and the fires did on the WTC) and let it fall. Do you sincerely believe that the rest of the intact lower structure would completely and instantly collapse in a symmetric fashion if that top section fell back on it?

Check out this redub of the title intro of Greengrass' United 93 docudrama which illustrates the coverup that is the official 911 story. Warning: the humour is rather poor.
