Introduction/Challenge to ‘Debunkers’:
It’s time for ‘debunkers’ to showcase their years of hard work. I’m looking for a concise and agreed-upon explanation for each of the following items so that we might forever put to rest these ‘nonsense conspiracy theories’ about 9/11.
Ideally, I’m hoping for a 1-4 sentence long, simplified explanation for each of these listed circumstances, explaining how they fit into the widely-accepted narrative. If any of these conditions were not present as alleged, or if you find them to be irrelevant, just explain a more accurate interpretation of the corresponding data.
Choose any number or set of numbers from the following list. For each point, write what you believe to be the official stance relative to the mainstream “Arab terrorist” narrative. Consistency and consensus is what we’re looking for. The goal of this article is to have each of these points adequately addressed in order to demonstrate, for any future “truthers”, that there is a reasonable explanation for these circumstances that was simply overlooked by the 9/11 Truth movement.
Eventually, I would like to be able to construct a full outline of the ‘debunker’ consensus on these most-relevant aspects of 9/11.
Some of the points, below, may seem familiar. Special thanks to Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (VIDEO) and all of the honest institutions and individuals who have made this article possible.
Regarding WTC7:
1. Rapid onset of collapse
2. Sounds of explosions at ground floor reported immediately before the building’s destruction
3. Symmetrical “structural failure” – through the path of greatest resistance – at free-fall acceleration
4. Imploded, collapsing completely, and landed in its own footprint
5. Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic-like clouds
6. Expert corroboration from the top European controlled demolition professional (referring to the evidently bias-free testimony of the late Danny Jowenko)
7. Foreknowledge of “collapse” by media, NYPD, FDNY (particularly the numerous media announcements of the WTC7 collapse more than 20 minutes prior to its occurrence)
8. FEMA finds rapid oxidation and intergranular melting on structural steel samples
9. Several tons of molten metal reported by numerous highly qualified witnesses
10. Very few visible fire deformations prior to complete collapse of WTC7
11. No evidence of fire temperatures capable of softening steel
12. High-rise buildings with much larger, hotter, and longer lasting fires have never collapsed (One Meridian Plaza, First Interstate Bank)
Regarding the Twin Towers:
13. Destruction proceeds through the path of greatest resistance at nearly free-fall acceleration
14. Improbable symmetry of debris distribution
15. Extremely rapid onset of destruction
16. Over 100 first responders reported explosions and flashes offset from actual collapse
17. Multi-ton steel sections ejected laterally
18. Mid-air pulverization of 90,000 tons of concrete & metal decking
19. Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic-like clouds
20. 1200-foot-diameter debris field: no “pancaked” floors found
21. Isolated explosive ejections 20–40 stories below demolition front
22. Total building destruction: dismemberment of steel frame
23. Several tons of molten metal found under both high-rises
24. Evidence of explosives found in steel and dust samples
25. Prominent figures including the head structural engineer for the WTC stated that the Twin Towers were over-engineered and more than capable of withstanding the resulting fires and impact of a large jetliner
Regarding Flight 77:
26. Hundreds of highly-trained pilots have contended that Hani Hanjour’s training as a pilot would have made him essentially incapable of his alleged flight path into the Pentagon
27. According to the FAA memo of May 21, 2003 and other statements from relevant authorities, the US military had plenty of time and resources to have defended an incoming attack on the Pentagon
Regarding Flight 93:
28. According to several eyewitnesses, human remains were virtually non-existent at the crash site – private investigators were not permitted and no independent source has identified the remains of any passenger
29. Cell-phones were purported to have been in-use on Flight 93 with altitudes and conditions that would have made this nearly impossible
