Let’s ask the
experts. Van Romero, Vice President for Research at New Mexico Institute
of Mining and Technology. “My opinion is, based on the videotapes, that
after the airplanes hit the World Trade Center there were some explosive
devices inside the buildings that caused the towers to collapse.”

Ten days later:
“Certainly the fire is what caused the building to fail.” Why would
Romero change his mind so suddenly?

Hyman Brown, Civil
Engineering Professor and The World Trade Center’s construction manager.
“It was over-designed to withstand almost anything, including
hurricanes, high winds, bombings, and an airplane hitting it.”

“Although the buildings were
designed to withstand a 150 year storm, and the impact of a Boeing 707,
jet fuel burning at 2000 degrees weakened the steel.”
-Hyman Brown, World Trade Center’s Construction Manager
Kevin Ryan,
Underwriters Laboratories, in a letter to Frank Gale at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology.
“We know that the steel components
were certified to ASTM E119. The time temperature curves for this
standard require the samples to be exposed to temperatures around 2000F
for several hours. And as we all agree, the steel applied met those
specifications."
-Kevin Ryan, Underwriters Laboratories
"Additionally, I think we can all agree that even
un-fireproofed steel will not melt until reaching red-hot temperatures
of nearly 3000F. Why Dr. Brown would imply that 2000F would melt the
high-grade steel used in those buildings makes no sense at all."
-Kevin Ryan, Underwriters Laboratories
"This story just does not add up. If steel from those
buildings did soften or melt, I’m sure we can all agree that this was
certainly not due to jet fuel fires of any kind, let alone the briefly
burning fires in those towers.”
-Kevin Ryan, Underwriters Laboratories
Ryan’s statements
directly contradict statements from other experts claiming that 2,000
degree heat inside the World Trade Center caused the Towers to collapse.
As such, days after writing this letter, Kevin Ryan was fired from his
position. Not even the experts agree with each other.
So what else could have caused the Twin Towers and Building 7 to
collapse?
8, WFAA, MOMENTS
AGO, WORLD TRADE CENTER: 10:00 Eastern time this morning, just
collapsing on itself.
ABC NEWS, DON
DAHLER REPORTING: “The second building hit by the plane has just
completely collapsed.”
8, WFAA, MOMENTS
AGO, WORLD TRADE CENTER: We have no idea what caused this.
CNN, BREAKING
NEWS, AMERICA UNDER ATTACK. BOTH TOWERS AT WTC COLLAPSE: It almost looks
like one of those planned implosions
Reporter: As
if a demolition team set off, when you see the old demolitions of these
old buildings, it is coming down on itself, and it is not there anymore.
8, WFAA, MOMENTS AGO, WORLD TRADE CENTER: “Anyone who’s ever watched a
building being demolished on purpose knows that if you’re going to do
this, you have to get at the under infrastructure of a building and
bring it down.”
Woman Reporter: We
heard another explosion, and I’m assuming that’s the one that came from
the lower level, since there were two.
Reporter: Cause that was like 18 minutes apart.
Woman Reporter: Well, no. There was the first explosion and then there
was a second explosion in the same building. Two explosions.
BREAKING NEWS, 2:
Witness: Federal agencies down there do believe that there was some sort
of explosive device somewhere else besides the planes hitting.
NBC’s Pat Dawson
is close to the scene of the attack. “Just moments ago, I spoke to the
chief of Safety for the New York City Fire Department. Chief Albert
Turrey, he received word of a possibility of a secondary device, that is
another bomb going off, he tried to get his men out as quickly as he
could, but he said that there was another explosion which took place.
And then an hour after the first hit here, the first crash that took
place, he said there was another explosion that took place in one of the
towers here. He thinks that there were actually devices that were
planted in the building. The second device, he thinks, he speculates,
was probably planted in the building.
Reporter: There
were two or three similar huge explosions, and the building literally
shook. You literally shook at the base of this building.
