9/11: New Footage of the Implosion of WTC7

Chris | 04.11.2008 14:53 | Analysis | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

A new video has been released (attached), from sources unknown, of the collapse of World Trade Centre Building 7 on September 11th 2001. Previous videos of the collapse ( 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 ) were from angles that didn't show the lower section of the building as clearly as this new one does.


For more background on WTC7 see the WTC7 section of this 2006 feature article which contains:

The key piece of evidence cited to support the conclusion of a controlled demolition consists of an analysis of the physics of the collapse -- the building dropped with an acceleration very close to that of gravity. Measurements and calculation have been presented on 11syyskuu and by Heikki Kurttila, a Finnish Doctor of Engineering and accident researcher and by Kenneth L. Kuttler in the Journal of 9/11 Studies. The only way to achieve a collapse of this nature -- one which involves the whole building coming down at close to free fall speed, is for all the structural columns to fail simultaneously. This is not something that could be expected to be caused by fires, especially ones which hadn't even spread across a whole floor, the most plausible explaination does appear to be that it was a controlled demolition.

Since that was written Architects Engineers for 9/11 Truth has formed and they have a page on WTC7 and Richard Gage, the AE911 founder is speaking in London on Thursday.

Another bit of evidence that surfaced since 2006 was the footage of the BBC announcing the collapse of WTC7 20 mins before it imploded.

The best starting place for information on Building 7 is still Jim Hoffman's site, WTC7.net.

So now the BBC are in on it too?

04.11.2008 17:03

29,000 people employed by it in Britain alone. Thousands more across the world and not one whistle blower? Even more amazing when you consider how many BBC employees are members of Media Workers Against the War and they all seem to be keeping their mouths shut too?

Oh yes. 3,000 people murdered in the USA and not one whistle blower or guilty conscience there either?

Erm...


Well...

04.11.2008 19:53

Where did I say "the BBC are in on it" and why are you making things up?

The article I posted last year with the footage from the BBC contains, "BBC World reported that WTC7 collapsed 23 mins before it happened" and then asks the questions "where did they get the news from that the building had come down, when it was still standing and can clearly be seen behind the reporter?"

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/sheffield/2007/02/363848.html

This question still hasn't been answered adequately -- where did they get this news from?

And of course this isn't really that important -- it's simply an illustration that there was foreknowledge, but it is not clear who had this foreknowledge.

What is more important is the nature of the structural failure -- this mode of failure is not one that could have been caused by the combination of office fires and structural damage from the collapse from the WTC twin towers.

"not one whistle blower"?

04.11.2008 21:14

Actually, as Jon Gold has pointed out, "several Whistleblowers have come forward over the years with information pertinent to the 9/11 attacks", in part 19 of this article:

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/10/411669.html#f19

Furthermore, in part 26, "several whistleblowers were brought forward, but were either censored or ignored by the 9/11 Commission."

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/10/411669.html#f26

And there was Kevin Ryan, a whistleblower from Underwriters Laboratories:

Bush has gone, move on.

05.11.2008 11:45

Look Bush has gone and its the present financial and climate crisis that is of prime importance. It's from these that a whole new epoch is emerging. Neo-conservatism is completely dead. Neo-liberalism in its present form is dead. What comes next might not be better but we have a chance to act on these issues and influence it.

9/11 conspiracy theories are completely attached to neo-conservatism and it is over. You can't impeach Bush any more. What ever you believe happened that day, it is now completely irrelevant.

You must know in your heart of hearts that your "movement" must now lose any purchase it might have had.

Your monomanical attachment to the importance of that day is out of kilter with history.

Time to move on, try to do it with some dignity and try to re-attach to the movements to come with a more open mind. Don't look for more conspiracies but look for how the new movements act and how to help them. If you carry on the habits and politics of the "9/11 truth movement" then you will only act as a drag on future moments, pulling them to right wing patterns of thought and ways of acting. This could be very dangerous in the present crisis when scapegoats such as conspiracies of jews, or bankers could be used to stand in for the complexities of capitalism.

Anyway this is a day when you could say: Time to move on.

Re: the habits and politics of the "9/11 truth movement"

05.11.2008 12:14

I have no time for the right-wing, Christian, nationalist, anti-immigrant, peak oil denial, climate change denial, illuminati, lizards/aliens crap from the likes of Alex Jones or David Ike -- that all this garbage had come to dominate parts of the truth movement is in part due to the left being hopeless on the issue of 9/11.

The civilizational crisis we are facing, peak oil, climate change, economic collapse, mass-extinction etc is of course the most urgent issue but 9/11 is a key to wake some people up and some people can't walk away from it as an issue.

For more on the civilizational crisis check out the presentation made last year by Nafeez Ahmed:

Nafeez Ahmed: The Hidden Holocaust - Our Civilizational Crisis
 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/01/388961.html

And another good site for the broad picture is Truth Move:

 http://www.truthmove.org/

For example these pages:

 http://www.truthmove.org/content/environment/
 http://www.truthmove.org/content/mass-extinction/
 http://www.truthmove.org/content/peak-oil/

Also note that the disinformation "movement" hasn't dropped 9/11 as an issue -- if nothing else does this indicates that it's not a dead issue:

 http://www.truthmove.org/content/disinformation/

And, though I have less than zero hope that much will change under the Democrats, there are still some Democrats raising the issue of 9/11 -- for example Dennis Kucinich's 35 Articles of Impeachment:

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/06/402169.html?c=on#c198703

On the issue of the "other movements" I broadly agree with the article Vincent C wrote, and this overlaps with your suggestion, which I agree with to "try to re-attach to the movements to come with a more open mind":

9/11 Truth: Analysis and Critique

Summary

I argue that while the 9/11 Truth Movement has had many successes and innovations, it has also been limited by it's sole purpose being the propagation of a narrative. The goals, strategy, and tactics of our activism should be seriously reconceptualized. The prevailing culture of the Truth Movement has become insular and needs to branch out into other revolutionary traditions which are already well established and have their own unique dialogues. I suggest that our activism should be reconceived as strictly a media movement rather than being the revolution itself so long as our sole goal is to spread information, and that Truth activists should participate in workshops for Non-Violent Direct Action.

Finally the underlying issues predate the neo-cons, listen, for example to:

CONSPIRACY & CLASS POWER

This is one of the most influential speeches by the
noted scholar and author Michael Parenti. It is an
in-depth analysis of the modern state and the exercise
of power behind the scenes. This speech is also an
important historic document. Given in 1993 it issues a
warning of the use of deception to justify going to war.
The speech also explains the expansion of the
deregulated free market that would lead to a financial
crisis as we see it today.

The speech on Conspiracy and Class Power was lost for
several years and only recently discovered in the
collection of a listener in Seattle. Michael Parenti
spoke before an overflow audience in Berkeley, CA

To the believers.....

07.11.2008 19:58

In the created reality, Media spun smoke and mirrors....
Look at building 7 it was imploded, brought down by a professional team. Time it! Free fall!.(give or take)

And all the media round the World spin the same meme - Its a new Pearl Harbour the terrrristst done it!
Open yr f'in eyes. Look at History you have to look at History - you can't live in that TV fast cut reality you can't say Bush gone forget it it's un-left and dangerous to think that way. Look at that Building Fall listen to all the media channels singing from the same sheet - Bin Laden Bin Laden and these 19 guys from Arabia - they hate our freedoms - America under attack - and all of it lies .
The creation of reality _ Ton Kin, the Reichstag Fire the Assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand and many more INTELOPS. All have the same MO - that of an 'Intelligence operation run by the ruling class - you know who you are. Exploiting some 'ideology' exploiting the under trodden. The 'lone nut' appears regularly.

Those folks will be mighty angry when we go in and steal their oil - Better do something to control that dissent - Intelligence operations aren't only about gathering data they're about making geo-political moves . Use anything any schism any dialectic any opposition, if there's no opposition pay someone to be the opposition. Anything to take your gaze away from the psycho's that perpetrate this shit.

The Ruling Class - You know who you are.
