Also unique to the engineering design were its core and elevator system. The twin towers were the first supertall buildings designed without any masonry. Worried that the intense air pressure created by the buildings' high speed elevators might buckle conventional shafts, engineers designed a solution using a drywall system fixed to the reinforced steel core. For the elevators, to serve stories with a traditional configuration would have required half the area of the lower stories be used for shaftways.

Otis Elevators developed an express and local system, whereby passengers would change at "sky lobbies" on the 44th and 78th floors, halving the number of shaftways. Building in Seattle, is impressively simple. The foot wide facade is, in effect, a prefabricated steel lattice, with columns on inch centers acting as wind bracing to resist all overturning forces; the central core takes only the gravity loads of the building.

A very light, economical structure results by keeping the wind bracing in the most efficient place, the outside surface of the building, thus not transferring the forces through the floor membrane to the core, as in most curtain-wall structures. Office spaces will have no interior columns. In the upper floors there is as much as 40, square feet of office space per floor. The floor construction is of prefabricated trussed steel, only 33 inches in depth, that spans the full 60 feet to the core, and also acts as a diaphragm to stiffen the outside wall against lateral buckling forces from wind-load pressures.

The floors were supported by a series of light trusses on rubber pads, which spanned between the outer columns and the lift core. Why Did It Collapse? Tim Wilkinson, Lecturer in Civil Engineering This is an initial suggestion, originally written on Sept 11 with some minor subsequent changes on one possible reason for failure, and should not be regarded as official advice. Lightweight steel trusses span between the central elevator core and the perimeter columns on each floor. These trusses support the concrete slab of each floor and tie the perimeter columns to the core, preventing the columns from buckling outwards.

After the initial plane impacts, it appeared to most observers that the structures had been severely damaged, but not necessarily fatally. It appears likely that the impact of the plane crash destroyed a significant number of perimeter columns on several floors of the building, severely weakening the entire system. Initially this was not enough to cause collapse. However, as fire raged in the upper floors, the heat would have been gradually affecting the behaviour of the remaining material.

As the planes had only recently taken off, the fire would have been initially fuelled by large volumes of jet fuel, which then ignited any combustible material in the building. While the fire would not have been hot enough to melt any of the steel, the strength of the steel drops markedly with prolonged exposure to fire, while the elastic modulus of the steel reduces stiffness drops , increasing deflections.

Safety features such as fire retarding materials and sprinkler systems help to contain fires, help extinguish flames, or prevent steel from being exposed to excessively high temperatures. This gives occupants time to escape and allow fire fighters to extinguish blazes, before the building is catastrophically damaged.

It is possible that the blaze, started by jet fuel and then engulfing the contents of the offices, in a highly confined area, generated fire conditions significantly more severe than those anticipated in a typical office fire. These conditions may have overcome the building's fire defences considerably faster than expected. It is likely that the water pipes that supplied the fire sprinklers were severed by the plane impact, and much of the fire protective material, designed to stop the steel from being heated and losing strength, was blown off by the blast at impact. Eventually, the loss of strength and stiffness of the materials resulting from the fire, combined with the initial impact damage, would have caused a failure of the truss system supporting a floor, or the remaining perimeter columns, or even the internal core, or some combination.

Failure of the flooring system would have subsequently allowed the perimeter columns to buckle outwards. Regardless of which of these possibilities actually occurred, it would have resulted in the complete collapse of at least one complete storey at the level of impact. Once one storey collapsed all floors above would have begun to fall. The huge mass of falling structure would gain momentum, crushing the structurally intact floors below, resulting in catastrophic failure of the entire structure.

While the columns at say level 50 were designed to carry the static load of 50 floors above, once one floor collapsed and the floors above started to fall, the dynamic load of 50 storeys above is very much greater, and the columns were almost instantly destroyed as each floor progressively "pancaked" to the ground. The only evidence so far are photographs and television footage. Whether failure was initiated at the perimeter columns or the core is unknown. The extent to which the internal parts were damaged during the collision may be evident in the rubble if any forensic investigation is conducted.

Since the mass of the combined towers is close to tons, finding evidence will be an enormous task. It is evident that the building is falling over to the left. The North Tower collapsed directly downwards, on top of itself. The same mechanism of failure, the combination of impact and subsequent fire damage, is the likely cause of failure of both towers. However, it is possible that a storey on only one side of the South Tower initially collapsed, resulting in the "skewed" failure of the entire tower.

While the ways the two towers fell were slightly different, the basic cause is similar for both - a large number of columns were destroyed on impact, and the remaining structure was gradually weakened by the heat of the fire. Not much significance should be taken from the fact that one tower fell in 45 minutes and the other in 90 minutes. The gigantic dynamic impact forces caused by the huge mass of the falling structure landing on the floors below is very much greater than the static load they were designed to resist. This section added 14 January This website generates many queries from people in response to some of the other theories that are put forward relating to the collapse - namely that it was a controlled explosion.

The official FEMA report written by engineering experts came to this conclusion based on the evidence. However, should additional evidence come to light that supports a different theory, the author is willing to reassess his views. The fire wasn't hot enough to melt the steel There has never been a claim that the steel melted in the fire before the buildings collapsed, however the fire would have been very hot. Even though the steel didnt melt, the type of temperatures in the fire would have roughly halved its strength.

There would have been variations in the distribution of the temperature both in place in time. There are photos that show people in the areas opened up by the impact, so it obviously wasnt too hot when those photos were taken, but this is not to say that other parts of the building, further inside were not hotter. In addition, to make a reasonable conclusion from these photos, it would be important to know when they were taken. It might be possible that just after the impact the area wasnt very hot, but as the fire took hold the area got hotter.

The way the building collapsed must have been caused by explosions One demolition expert on the day of the collapse said it looked like implosion but this is not very strong evidence. Implosion firstly requires a lot of explosives placed in strategic areas all around the building.

When and how was this explosive placed in the building without anyone knowing about it. Second, implosion required more than just explosives. Demolition experts spend weeks inside a derelict building planning an event. In this state the building is highly dangerous, and there is no way such a prepared building could still be running day to day like WTC was. Why did the building fall so quickly? The buildings did fall quickly - almost but not exactly at the same speed as if there was no resistance. Shouldn't the floors below have slowed it down?

The huge dynamic loads due to the very large momentum of the upper floors falling were so great that they smashed through the lower floors very quickly. The columns were not designed to carry these huge loads and they provided little resistance. What about World Trade Center 7? I have not studied WTC in any great detail and cannot offer any theories on its collapse mechanism. In the chaos of the day, little attention was paid to WTC7, so there is less evidence available on the damage it sustained before it collapsed. However, some questions that you may want to ponder The author respect people's right to question theories, but at the present time the author does not believe there is enough evidence for him to change his views on this incident.

Tschuldigung, aber du hast gerade bewiesen, dass du rein gar nix vom vorhergehenden Artikel gelesen oder verstanden hast. Dein kleines Bildchen rechts zeigt ganz klar eine konventionelle Bautechnik. Und es ist ein klassisches Feuer, ohne jeden Einschlag einer gewaltigen Masse. WTC 7 ab Dir kann man wirklich nicht mehr helfen, nicht dass es schon das 5. Von einem Statiker, der wohl lieber Fakten als irgendwelche kruden Theorien aus dem Internet hat.

Und da kommst du mit Hundertstelsekunden: Was ist mit WTC7??? Was ist mit den Triebwerken im Pentagon?? Meinetwegen auch mit Werkstoffkundlichen Beweisen Wer nicht sehen will, der sieht auch nicht: Gehen wirs doch mal anders an syr. Ist es oder ist es nicht?? Und nun nenne mir die Holprigkeiten, die es bei diesem Szenario gibt! Ist es denkbar, dasselbe hinzukriegen, auch wenn oder trotzdem in jeden Turm ein Flugzeug fliegt als optische Zugabe?? Welche der beiden Varianten erscheint Dir nun plausibler? Wenn es also ein inside job war Less than two hours later, suicide bombers Ibrahim al-Thawr and Abdullah al-Misawa approached the ship's port side in a small inflatable craft laden with explosives and blew a byfoot gash in it, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39 others.

The attack on the Cole, organized and carried out by Osama bin Laden's Al Qaida terrorist group, was a seminal but still murky and largely misunderstood event in America's ongoing "Long War. And two days before the attack, they had conveyed "actionable intelligence" of possible terrorist activity in and around the port of Aden to Gen. Pete Schoomaker, then commander in chief of the U.

The same information was also conveyed to a top intelligence officer at the U. None of the officials involved has ever spoken about the pre-attack warnings, and a post-attack forensic analysis of the episode remains highly classified and off-limits within the bowels of the Pentagon. Subsequent investigations exonerated the Cole's commander, Kirk Lippold, but Lippold's career has been ruined nonetheless.

He remains in legal and professional limbo, with a recommended promotion and new command held up for the past four years by political concerns and maneuvering. Schoomaker was later promoted out of retirement to chief of staff, U. Army, and Franks went on to lead the combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Enter Judith Miller, the Pulitzer Prize-winning ex-New York Times reporter at the center of the ongoing perjury and obstruction of justice case involving former top White House official I.

Miller spent 85 days in jail before finally disclosing that Libby was the anonymous source who confirmed to her that Valerie Plame was a CIA official, although Miller never wrote a story about Plame. Ultimately, Miller never wrote that story either. But two months later -- on Sept. In the beginning I thought it was going to be pretty straightforward, but it turned out to be anything but. And it took me a long, long time, and a lot of trips to the Middle East, and a lot of dead ends, before I finally understood how I could tell the story to the American people.

The people that I was covering ardently believed that Al Qaida was behind a lot of these attacks on American forces and Americans throughout the Middle East that we were beginning to see. At the time there was still a fair amount of debate and a fair amount of resistance to that thesis within the intelligence community, as it's so-called. But from the get go, I think the instinctive reaction of the people I was covering was that this was an Al Qaoda operation.

So I started looking at the attack on the Cole as an example of Al Qaida terrorism. Because of incidents like that -- you know, overloading a dinghy that was supposed to go have gone out to the ship and blow it up, so that the dinghy would sink -- people tended to discount Al Qaida. They said, 'Oh, they are just a bunch of amateurs. I never believed that. It was going to be a large, well-coordinated attack. Because of the July 4 holiday, this was an ideal opportunistic target and date for Al Qaida. My sources also told me at that time that there had been a lot of chatter overheard -- I didn't know specifically what that meant -- but a lot of talk about an impending attack at one time or another.

And the intelligence community seemed to believe that at least a part of the attack was going to come on July 4. So I remember that, for a lot of my sources, this was going to be a 'lost' weekend. Everybody was going to be working; nobody was going to take time off. And that was bad news for me, because it meant I was also going to be on stand-by, and I would be working too. If it were going to be a stress-filled weekend, it was better to do it together.

It also meant I wouldn't have trouble tracking people down -- or as much trouble -- because as you know, some of these people can be very elusive. Because a lot of intelligence people did not believe that Al Qaida had the ability to strike within the United States. The CT people thought they were wrong. But I got the sense at that time that the counter-terrorism people in the White House were viewed as extremist on these views.

I think everybody knew that an attack was coming -- everyone who followed this. But you know you can only 'cry wolf' within a newspaper or, I imagine, within an intelligence agency, so many times before people start saying there he goes -- or there she goes -- again! There was always a lot going on at the White House, so to a certain extent, there was that kind of 'cry wolf' problem. But I got the sense that part of the reason that I was being told of what was going on was that the people in counter-terrorism were trying to get the word to the president or the senior officials through the press, because they were not able to get listened to themselves.

I remember once when I was a reporter in Egypt, and someone from the agency gave me very good material on terrorism and local Islamic groups. Why are you giving this to me? As somebody metaphorically put it: The person told me that there was some concern about an intercept that had been picked up. The incident that had gotten everyone's attention was a conversation between two members of Al Qaida. And they had been talking to one another, supposedly expressing disappointment that the United States had not chosen to retaliate more seriously against what had happened to the Cole.

And one Al Qaida operative was overheard saying to the other, 'Don't worry; we're planning something so big now that the U. I thought it was a very good story: This struck me as a major page one-potential story. I was rather excited, as I usually get about information of this kind, and I said, 'Steve, I think we have a great story.

They said this was such a big attack that the U.

Who were the guys overheard? I just know that they were both Al Qaida operatives. I didn't know what countries they were in; I didn't know whether they were having a local call or a long-distance call. As Steve put it to me, 'You have a great first and second paragraph. Engelberg first mentioned the incident in an article by Douglas McCollam in the October edition of Columbia Journalism Review, which noted: Engelberg, himself a veteran intelligence reporter, wasn't so sure.

There had been a lot of chatter about potential attacks; how did they know this was anything other than big talk? Who were these guys? What country were they in? How had we gotten the intercept? Miller didn't have any answers, and Engelberg didn't think they could publish without more context. Miller agreed to try and find out more, but in the end, the story never ran.

And she came back in and had the story. And I knew the source. So I promised to Steve that I would go back and try to get more. He knew that the source was impeccable. I had also confirmed from a second source that such a conversation had taken place -- that there was such an intercept -- though my second source did not seem to know as much about the content of the intercept as the first source did. But that was enough for me to know that there was a good story there. After the fact I was told that, 'The bad guys were in Yemen on this conversation.

I simply couldn't nail it down with more specificity. I argued at that time that it was worth going with just what we had, even if it was vague, that the fact that the Al Qaida was planning something that was so spectacular that we have to respond was worth getting into the paper in some way, shape or form. But I think Steve decided, and I ultimately agreed, that we needed more details.

And I simply couldn't pry them loose. Steve, Bill Broad and I were co-authors of a book about biological terrorism. So we were working flat out on that book trying to meet our deadline. I was desperately trying to get my arms around this series that we were trying to do on Al Qaida.

I was having a lot of trouble because the information was very hard to come by. There was a lot going on. I was also doing biological weapons stories and homeland security stories. And in Washington, if you don't have a sense of immediacy about something, and if you sense that there is bureaucratic resistance to a story, you tend to focus on areas of less resistance. I remember I was very worried about whether or not the publisher was actually going to get copies of the books to the warehouses in time. Because of course, Steve, Bill and I had delivered the manuscript late -- everything was very late.

I remember walking to a school around the corner with a very clear view of the World Trade Center, because it was just a few blocks away. And all I can remember thinking was, 'Are they going to get those books to the warehouses on time? And -- everybody says this -- it was one of most beautiful days in New York I ever remember! I asked what had happened, and they said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center.

There was an awfully big gash in the building and I didn't see the plane, but there was an awful lot of smoke and I thought, 'Gosh! That was a pretty big space for a Cessna or something to have gotten into that building. I simply wouldn't believe. So I turned around without voting, without going into the building, and I started to call my CT sources in Washington, and I remember reaching the counter-terrorism office at the White House, and I was told that nobody was there, that all of the principals were out giving speeches or doing something else. And I said, 'OK, I'll try to call back in 15 minutes.

And I think I was kind of amazed at myself, at the power of denial. When you don't want to believe something's happening, it does not, it's not happening! And I think that was what was going on in the intelligence community. The idea that Al Qaida would actually strike in the United States, not at the Cole or overseas, or in Jordan as part of a warning bombing plot, but here in the U.

People were in the state of denial, as I was that morning. At the time of the series, which was published in January , we had information about chemical and biological experiments at Al Qaida camps. We had gotten the location of the camps, we had gotten satellite overhead of the camps. I had interviewed, in Afghanistan, Al Qaida-trained people who said that they were going to get out of the 'prison' in Afghanistan and go back and continue their jihad.

They had talked about suicide bombings. We had Jordanian intelligence say that attempts to blow up hotels, roads and tourist targets in Jordan over the millennium was part of the Al Qaida planned attack. And yet I guess people just didn't believe it. But I believed it. I believed it absolutely, because I've covered these militants for so long. There was nothing they wouldn't do if they could do it. He just knew what I was thinking, and I knew what he was thinking. We were so stunned by what was happening, and there was so much to do, and I think that was the day in which words just fail you.

And I always wondered how the person who sent that [intercept] warning must have felt. Some Eyewitness Accounts http: Before he could process that thought, he saw 'a huge mushroom cloud. The lady next to me was in absolute hysterics. It was so shocking, I was listening to the news on what had happened in New York, and just happened to look out the window because I heard a low flying plane and then I saw it hit the Pentagon.

It happened so fast Your Eyewitness Accounts http: Seconds before the Pentagon came into view a huge black cloud of smoke rose above the road ahead. I came around the bend and there was the Pentagon billowing smoke, flames and debris, blackened on one side and with a gaping hole where the airplane had hit it. Walking north beside Route 27, he suddenly saw a commercial airliner crest the hilltop Navy Annex. American Airlines Flight 77 reached him so fast and flew so low that Probst dropped to the ground, fearing he'd lose his head to its right engine.

It was highly unusual. The large plane was 20 feet off the ground and a mere 50 to 75 yards from his windshield. Two seconds later and before he could see if the landing gear was down or any of the horror-struck faces inside, the plane slammed into the west wall of the Pentagon yards away.

But whoever was flying the plane made no attempt to change direction,' Sucherman said. I turned around to the car behind me and yelled "Did you see that? It plowed right into the Pentagon," said an Associated Press Radio reporter who witnessed the crash. I think an American Airways plane,' Mr Campo said. I felt the impact. The whole ground shook and the whole area was full of fire. I could never imagine I would see anything like that here. Everybody was running away in different directions.

It was tilting its wings up and down like it was trying to balance. It hit some lampposts on the way in. He took the Highway 95 loop in the area of the Pentagon and thought it odd to see a plane in restricted airspace, thinking to himself it was odd that it was flying so low. Then he saw the Pentagon on fire, and an announcement came over the radio that the Pentagon had been hit. My first thought was just 'No, no, no, no,' because it was obvious the plane was not heading to nearby Reagan National Airport. It was going to crash. I did not hear anything at all until the plane was just right above our cars.

I saw it crash into the building,' he said. I mean in the sense that it was controlled and sort of straight. That was my impression,' he said. I remember seeing a fireball come out of two windows of the Pentagon. I saw an explosion of fire billowing through those two windows. Shortly after watching the second tragedy, I heard jet engines pass our building, which, being so close to the airport is very common.

But I thought the airport was closed. I figured it was a plane coming in for landing. A few moments later, as I was looking down at my desk, the plane caught my eye. It didn't register at first. I thought to myself that I couldn't believe the pilot was flying so low. Then it dawned on me what was about to happen. I watched in horror as the plane flew at treetop level, banked slightly to the left, drug it's wing along the ground and slammed into the west wall of the Pentagon exploding into a giant orange fireball.

I'd just heard them saying on the radio that National Airport was closing, and I thought, "That's not going to make it to National Airport. There was a burst of orange flame that shot out that I could see through the highway overpass. Then it was just black. Just black, thick smoke. Ok tieffliegendes Flugzeug war, da Dass die Boeing abgredreht ist, und evtl. Und nur mal so am Rande: Copperfield, das muss es gewesen sein: Und auch die Unfallstelle wurde ja von Experten untersucht, gelegte Beweise, sowas kanns nicht geben, gabs noch nie: Woher willst Du das wissen? Weil diese Aussage nicht von den Medien gebracht wurde?

Komm auf den Boden, du solltest besser wissen, was auf dieser Welt inzwischen abgeht! Man kann Schlackereste des Stahls zu beiden Seiten der Schnittstelle erkennen. Brenngeschirr mit Flamme mit diesen Gasen versorgt. Schlackereste will man nicht. Was bedeutet das alles nun konkret?

Fassen wir schnell zusammen: Links und dem Text. Vermutlich nur ein Zufall. Why indeed the Twin Towers collapse? So what did the NIST do? They, with a slight of hand, had changed their "adequate steel sample" from being adequate for the investigation whole , to it only being adequate in determining the quality of the steel final report. As you can clearly see above, the NIST clearly states, the collection of steel was adequate for the needs of the investigation whole - Chemical, Metallurgical,and Mechanical property analyses as well as a substantial damage assessment and failure mode examination.

Moreover, the NIST details exactly what the Metallurgical Investigation consists of in other papers describing their investigation.. Hence, "The collection of steel is considered adequate for the needs of the investigation above" Just in case more evidence is needed to ascertain the details of the investigation NIST is implementing its technical plan to address these issues see http: A primary objective of the investigation is to determine why and how the towers collapsed after the initial impact of the aircraft. Progress in this study is outlined here Property data to support studies of structure performance and airplane impact modeling.

Fourteen grades of steel were specified in the design of the WTC towers. All grades have been characterized for room-temperature mechanical properties, and initial high-temperature test results are complete. Testing at high strain rate is underway to determine the effects of strain rate on the mechanical properties of the outer columns, the inner columns and the spandrels. Chemical composition and metallographic examinations have been completed on the majority of the steels. Creep, or time-temperature-dependent behavior of some steels will be studied after the high temperature properties are developed Metallographic analysis of steel to estimate temperature extremes.

Microscopic, macroscopic and metallographic analyses are under way to determine the maximum temperature excursions seen by the steel. Hence as was stated before regarding task's 3 and Last but not least, lets turn to the NAIL in the coffin. The "Nail in the coffin" is evidence of the fact that the NIST had actually discussed changing their initial findings from the steel being adequate for the investigation to it being adequate to only part of the investigation determining quality.

Note, this discussion had taken place on the very same day the results of the steel being less than c had been presented - Oct 19th As John Barsom said, the statement is not accurate. The validity of the model question from yesterday speaks to this issue. I do not believe that we have enough forensic evidence.

It may be okay to establish steel quality. There was no effort by the Building Performance Study team to systematically look at the steel. There is no core column test to support the hypothesis. The floors came down, the slabs were pulverized. Exterior columns and core remained. The floors group will attack this finding. In summary, the NIST had only focused on one, and only one conclusion throughout its entire investigation, and that one conclusion being the assumption that fires were the cause of the two buildings collapsing.

Over and over again, the wtc steel indicated temps of less than c, which inturn naturally indicated fires not being the cause for the collapses, yet the NIST kept on with their assumptions and computer generated simulations via their assumptions, that the steel had attained temps of c, even though there was not one piece of metallurgical evidence in support thereof..

National Commission on terrorists attacks upon the United States. But I can tell that once, and if, and when this issue gets to be, under real terms, investigated, you will be seeing certain people that we know from this country standing trial; and they will be prosecuted criminally. The report quoted an officer as saying that dramatic changes were made in the final draft of the inquiry commission after the lobbyists got to work. The panel was formed to probe the September 11 terror attack and make suggestions to fight terrorism. The Friday Times claimed that a lot of money was used to silence these members.

Wieso ist auf einmal "Follow the money" nicht mehr wichtig, sondern im Falle des Was machte General Mahmut Ahmed in Washington? Warum traf er sich mit den Geheimdienstbeauftragten beider Parteien? Oder wurden die letzten Aspekte der Operation besprochen? Warum wurde er entlassen?

Weil er nicht den Willen Washingtons durchsetzen konnte, oder weil er nun eine Gefahr war, die Geldspur zu Atta aufzudecken? Warum hat die Kommission dies nie untersucht? Mit solch einem Aufsehen, wie es noch nie in der US-Geschichte vorkam? According to Edmonds, she made what sounded like a threat; "Why are you doing this, Sibel?

Why don't you just drop it? You know there could be serious consequences. Why put your family in Turkey in danger over this? The hijackers did not self-finance or have jobs. The monograph reveals in detail how the hijackers received money from wire transfers, cash and traveler's checks, and credit or debit cards for overseas bank accounts. Interesting that they would point out none of the money originated within the United States, and that the origin of the funds was "unknown".

Also, in regards to the bribery story It makes sense that the bribery allegations have a ring of truth in them. At the very least, the allegations should be investigated. No money was raised in the USA by self-financing or payments for jobs. If they were paid via ISI, how could the origin remains unknown? Yeah, and that could be right. The same circle that raise the money for the coup could raise money for the alleged bribery as well.

They have to make sure that nobody stumple about the real money trail, and this probably without the knowlegde of the official pakistani government. For me it makes sense. Only this point is enough stuff to demand a new investigation The Hidden History of Edited by: Wieso ist die Spur des Geldes hier nicht wichtig? Wer ermordete Daniel Pearl? He said that yes, if he had his secret powers then, that he has today, he could have stopped al Qaeda's plot.

Then he said, there were two guys in San Diego He was referring to Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar. George Bush also talks about them when he wants to justify wiretaps without warrants. The truth is that Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar are the poster boys for missed opportunities. Here are the facts. They'd fought in Bosnia. They'd been to Afghanistan. They had friends and relatives who were jihadists and who were in Al Qaeda and they had associations with bin Laden. They got al Mihdhar's full name but only al Hazmi's first name, Nawaf.

They could have figured out who he was if they had checked in their own data base. The CIA had the event under surveillance. Al Mihdhar was photographed there. The team noted that some of the terrorists, including al Mihdhar and al Hazmi, flew to Bangkok on January 8th, where they lost track of them.

He was accompanied by al Mihdhar, though that did not show up on the flight report. Here is what had not happened. So they were not picked up when they entered the US. Al Mihdrar later left the US and went to Yemen, because he missed his family. He was not picked up leaving or returning. So they were not tracked when they entered the United States. They spent two months in Los Angeles. Then they went to San Diego. In both places they associated with radical Muslims and made radical mosques the center of their lives.

They also lived with an FBI informant. Al Hazmi got picked for speeding in Oklahoma. His license was in his real name. When the trooper ran it, nothing came back. Remember, that at this point, he was known as a terrorist associated with Osama bin Laden and bin Laden was known to be trying to organize an attack on America. Al Hazmi and Al Mihdhar both bought their tickets over the internet using credit cards in their real names. Then came September 11th, and this is what happened on that day: Nawaf al Hazmi set off the alarms for both the first and second metal detectors and was then hand-wanded before being passed.

The Hazmi brothers were also selected for extra scrutiny by the airline's customer service representative at the check-in counter. He did so because one of the brothers did not have photo identification nor could he understand English, and because the agent found both of the passengers to be suspicious. Mihdhar and Moqed placed their carry-on bags on the belt of the X-ray machine and proceeded through the first metal detector.

Both set off the alarm, and they were directed to a second metal detector. Mihdhar did not trigger the alarm and was permitted through the checkpoint. We asked a screening expert to review the videotape of the hand-wanding, and he found the qual- ity of the screener's work to have been "marginal at best.

These are the people that General Hayden uses to justify the gigantic wiretaps without warrants program and the telephone data collection program. It is an insult to our intelligence. It shows contempt, absolute contempt for the senate and the media. It shows that he is right to have that contempt.

Since no one called him out on it. No one said it was a ridiculous and foolish assertion. Unsupported by the facts. Indeed, the facts point in the other direction. It was secrecy that did us in. We had the information. It was incompetence that did us in. Including General Hayden's own. Graham does not answer his own question. Was it the involvement of the Saudi government? Or was it that elements within the US state apparatus knew of plans for an impending hijacking and allowed them to go forward?

Three years after the attacks, no one has been held accountable for what on its face is the most catastrophic failure of national security and intelligence in US history. Was it a failure, or was a decision taken to permit a terrorist attack on US soil in order to provide the pretext for implementing plans for wars abroad and repressive policies at home that had been drawn up well in advance of September 11, ?

Ich habe ja nur gefragt. Among the many questions are the various speculations that the Pentagon attack was by some other means than a hijacked passenger airliner. This thread has become the single-most popular piece of content on AboveTopSecret. However, the volume of material and issues on this subject and in this thread alone is overwhelming, making specific conclusions difficult, and evolution beyond the issue of what hit the Pentagon impossible.

Also, if you've authored a scholarly analysis of this issue, please Contact Us http: I've decided the best way to do this is to state the evidence, and facts, and come to a conclusion. Everything I list here as evidence includes links to sources, names of individuals, and notes if I have added any comments or visual aids to any photos.

I may repeat some information and images in this post from images and information previously posted , and I apologize for the length of the information, and for the size of some of the photos, but I can see no other way to provide the information without losing clarity and quality and most importantly accuracy. It is apparent that without the entire collection of evidence people quickly forget something outlined on a previous post. I will freely admit in this post that I was incorrect on some facts in my previous posts, and I will correct these mistakes here.

I will also try to link every image to its original source, unless it is an image I have added comments or visual aids to. The As we can see from the freely available information for the Boeing http: The Pentagon The Pentagon was designed in the early 40's and was completed in only 16 months on Jan 14, The shortages of materials required for war production raised many design and construction problems. The use of reinforced concrete in lieu of formed steel for the building made possible a saving of 43, tons of steel, more than enough to build a battleship. The use of concrete ramps rather than elevators further reduced steel requirements.

Drainage pipes were concrete; ducts were fiber, interior doors were wood. An unusual wall design - concrete spandrels carried to window sill level - eliminated many miles of through-wall copper flashing. Department of Defense DoD , about 20, people were at work in this, the largest office building in the world. Yet according to the DoD casualty update on October 1, only Pentagon employees were killed along with the 64 from the fated airliner. Some of these reinforced walls very near the point of impact remained in place for a half hour before collapsing, allowing uncounted hundreds to escape.

It is all merely factual information that we will refer to in the following sections. I was unintentionally misleading in a previous post when I said the Pentagon didn't use a steel beam construction - while that is still true for the original design, it was reinforced in various areas during the upgrades to include steel beams and columns in some areas of the renovations. In addition to major overhauls of the mechanical and electrical systems, the Wedge One renovation included the fire sprinklers, automatic fire doors, and the steel which saved many lives on the day of the attack.

The blast-resistant windows were nearly two inches 5 centimeters thick. Some of them remain remarkably intact and in place adjacent the point of impact. Some were popped out of their frames by the force of the exploding jet fuel, but they fell without breaking or splintering. Also on the exterior walls, between the steel columns, the renovation crew had placed Kevlar cloth, similar to the material used for bullet-proof vests.

This had the effect of holding together building materials so they wouldn't become deadly projectiles in an explosion. Looking At the Big Picture From facts contained above, we can all agree that: Look at the hole in the building http: That is really interesting when you take into account the fact that the body is 12 ft 4in wide and 13 ft 6in high. Here is where I was mistaken in the past, like so very many others I was led astray by the HEIGHT of the aircraft, which is actually the measurement from the wheels-down to the tip of the tail.

That measurement is for aircraft hangar clearance, not the SIZE of the aircraft. The is basically a cylinder that is 13 feet across. It then should not be surprising that it would create something around a thirteen foot hole in the side of the building. The tail certainly isn't going to punch a hole through a reinforced concrete wall; that is why there is no 40 foot hole in the front of the Pentagon in any photos.

A 40 foot object didn't hit it, a 13 foot object did. This is the part that punched the hole in the Pentagon, the rest of the thin, hollow, top of the plane just shredded into chunks, some of which are laying on the lawn and around the rescue vehicles. Most of a commercial airliner is just a thin aluminum shell, insulation, a thin plastic inner liner, some carpet and seats. They're designed to be as light as possible so they can carry more cargo and more people while using less fuel and at the same time remain "safe". It is a given that the majority of mass is going to be in the bottom half of the aircraft - the primary structure and heaviest parts are all located there, as is the luggage and any freight.

But lets reinforce this as fact with a photo of a being built. Remember, the only difference between a and a is the length of the body, and the wings on the are reinforced and slightly deeper - the height and width and wingspan remain identical. What does the green or yellow primer have to do with anything? Well, we'll take a look at the aircraft parts from the Pentagon wreckage photos below. Ok, but how did a hollow tube, made of mostly aluminium, manage to punch through the Pentagon?

I'm happy to try to help explain it with the aid of the good folks at Perdue University. We'll get to that in a moment. I think perhaps some people are thrown off by the balancing led weights attached on the rims in the bottom photo? Have you never taken your car in for a wheel alignment and tire balancing?

This is clearly the same kind of rim found on a Landing gear strut - appears to be from the nose gear - note how charred http: Another rim from the airplane on the right, and a large chunk of bulkhead on the left. More parts from inside the - note the Boeing green primer on 3 parts in this photo - two circled. You can also view this information on their website http: The fleets around the world actually use over six different kinds of engines.

Here is are photos of some apparent engine parts from the Pentagon crash site. The APU Honeywell GTCP is located in the tail section of the aircraft that's what the large vent that looks like a 3rd jet engine is as edvidenced on this technical rescue reference aid http: Boeing reference website http: An online training aid http: There have been some people who claim that a Global Hawk was what hit the Pentagon.

Here is what John W. A detailed view of what the turbofan that powers the Global Hawk looks like http: Also visible in this photo, one of the 's blue passenger seats to the left of the turbine, and possibly a 2nd seat above the other seat. Below is a significant portion of a badly smashed RB engine in the Pentagon wreckage - what appears to be the diffusor section of the compressor, one of the pumps remains partially attached, some hoses and the familiar webbed wire wraps to the right of the main ring and some of the Boeing yellow primed support structure is lying beside it left, with rivets - again: Image of the engine used on the it's the rightmost one, top row Rolls-Royce http: Evidence of the right engine impact on the side of the building is evident on the large pillar being sprayed with fire retardant.

I think it's conservative to say that the part is 2 times as long as the truck's tire 36 inches. Here is another angle of the exact same piece in question - notice the people standing off to the right of it. More importantly, notice all the other small bits of the aircraft skin laying around. Even the black boxes http: Note how a couple of the poles are bent right over, some are sheered off at the top, yet the pole and fence portion on the left is untouched obviously the right engine took out the fence to the right of those poles and the entire back side of the fence has been torn away.

The generator was hit by the right wing and engine before the hit the building - the damage is evidenced by other photos http: Closeup of generator smashed in the front and gouged on the top - hard to image a missile accomplishing both of these. But if the right engine of a hit the front of the generator, part of the wing could gouge the top.

At the very least, something very large, and very heavy smashed into this extremely heavy desil generator. I've zoomed in, and compared the two frames over and over - here is what I see as the airplane. I will repeat, however, that this is terrible evidence due to the horrible quality of the original images. I do believe, however, that the white smoke in the images is caused by one or more damaged engine from the impact with the multiple light poles on the way in as seen in the above image.

If it was banking slightly to port it would fit perfectly However, once again - this is entirely subjective and the image quality from the released surveillance camera is not good enough to form a factual opinion. Lets look at the physics involved http: Now we can see, through a very competent and valid simulator, what happened in the attack on the Pentagon.

Click here to view a video generated by the simulator. A large hollow tube, with a belly full of luggage, a passenger bay with 60 people, and wings full of fuel smashed into the side of an almost solid object while moving at a tremendous speed somewhere around mph. All the small parts, luggage, people, seats, and all the tens of thousands of pounds of fuel acting like a massive river came crashing into the wall of the Pentagon.

This force burst through the outside wall and flowed through the inside to the next wall, and momentum carried this mass until it finally ran out of inertia at the 3rd ring. Plane hitting WTC http: Please do read the information on the Perdue website yourself - I don't do it justice with my one paragraph of paraphrasing! He and two colleagues from Oracle software were stopped in a car near the Naval Annex, next to the Pentagon, when they saw the plane dive down and level off. It was just screaming. It was nothing more than a guided missile at that point," Creed said.

I can still see it right now. It's just the most frightening thing in the world, going full speed, going full throttle, its wheels up," - Ahwatukee Foothill News http: She had this startled look on her face. We were all thinking the same thing. And it veered to the right into the Pentagon. The blast literally rocked all of our cars. It was an incredible moment. I fell to the ground and covered my head.

I could actually hear the metal going through the building. The devastation was horrific. It was obvious that some of the victims we found had no time to react. The distance the firefighters had to travel down corridors to reach the fires was a problem. With only a good 25 minutes of air in their SCBA bottles, to save air they left off their face pieces as they walked and took in a lot of smoke," Captain Defina said. Captain Defina was the shift commander [of an aircraft rescue firefighters crew.

I could have included the dozens of people who saw the plane, but didn't see it hit because it went behind a bridge, a hill, or some trees , but I choose only to post the ones that sounded the most valid and actually saw the plane hit the building. There are most likely twenty times more that either haven't been publicly recorded as seeing the crash, or simply don't want the attention.

You can't honeslty sit there and deny the witnesses, the photographs, the facts, the science, and the reality that there was a terrorist attack on the Pentagon if you look at everything available and not one single tidbit of information at a time. Real Audio Required Conclusion I highly doubt that local firefighters would be involved in any sort of a coverup. I highly doubt that local police officers would be involved in any sort of a government cover up. Cops and firemen are just average Joes like you and me, who go home to the wife and kids, and just try to make a living and have a good life for their families I have many friends in both professions - of course the firemen are usually more stable marriage-wise because of their job but that doesn't make the cops any less human than you or I.

The men and women who pulled over a hundred people dead and alive out of that building would more likely than not have noticed somebody carrying over 60 bodies into the middle of the fire they were fighting. To say that the plane that hit the Pentagon was not filled with every single person who died in this terrorist attack not counting the unfortunate people inside the building is one thing and one thing only - ignorant.

It was a terrorist attack and the only fault with the government here is with their failure to prevent or stop it. The content can be seen here on ATS: Was hat Washington zu verbergen?
