Two groups for 9/11 explore the destruction and collapse of Twin Towers

After seeing the Twin Towers in New York City diminished to nothing but rubble 10 years ago, many didn’t question whether two planes could topple the tallest buildings in the world.

After seeing the velocity and motion at which Building 7 of the World Trade Center came down later that day, some experts did question whether burning debris could flatten a building in seconds.

Now, groups like Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and North Texans for 9/11 Truth are wondering if the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 were planned.

However, if there is one thing David Berrera wants people to know, it’s that the members of North Texans for 9/11 Truth are not conspiracy theorists.

“What we’re more into is looking at the facts and taking those facts where they lead us,” Berrera, a member of North Texans for 9/11 Truth, said. “What we’re looking at is more of a forensic style of investigation.”

BBC 9/11 Conspiracy Road Trip Rebuttal

This comes from one of the Road Trip participants who felt that the documentary was not balanced. Participants had no advanced knowledge of who they would be visiting, so they could do specific research to ask pertinent questions.

9/11 Commission Admits It Never Got The Facts … But No One Wants to Hear From the People Who Know What Happened

9/11 Commission: We Never Got All of the Facts

9/11 Commissioners admit that they never got to the bottom of 9/11. For example:

Indeed, 9/11 Commissioners and other officials say that the true facts were hidden from them, or covered up (you don’t have to get bogged down in reading this section – you can skip ahead to the next, if you like; this is just documenting that the 9/11 Commission report is in no way the last word on 9/11):

Hello, my name is Emily Church and I am a mute.

Well, according to the masters of propaganda at the BBC/Renegade Productions.

This summer I participated in a BBC hit piece on 9/11, entitled “Conspiracy Roadtrip”. The premise is simple: five non-believers of the official story journey across the east coast of the USA in search of the truth. On the way we meet “experts” and victims of the attacks, guided by “comedian” Andrew Maxwell who believes the 9/11 commission report was the be all and end all of the 9/11 story.

The show aired a few hours ago and I felt compelled to write my version of what happened on that 8 day roadtrip, to give you the perspective you were not shown by BBC 3.

Firstly, I must tip my hat to them. They did a wonderful editing job. Anyone who has ever had a conversation with me or knows me personally will be very much aware of my opinions re: 9/11, and how outspoken I am about them. However, on this show I appear to be pretty much silent the entire way through.

I wasn’t.

Military ignored Cheney’s 9/11 shoot-down order

By Stephen C. Webster
Thursday, September 8th, 2011

Newly published audio this week reveals that Vice President Dick Cheney's infamous Sept. 11, 2001 order to shoot down rogue civilian aircraft was ignored by military officials, who instead ordered pilots to only identify suspect aircraft.

That revelation is one of many in newly released audio recordings compiled by investigators for the 9/11 Commission, published this week by The Rutgers Law Review. Featuring voices from employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and American Airlines, the newly released multimedia provides a glimpse at the chaos that emerged as the attack progressed.

Political reporter says " Buy dinner, support our troops"

Graham Thomson of the Edmonton Journal wrote - I received a news release recently that really bothered me. It had nothing to do with Alberta politics or the two leadership races now underway for the Liberals and Conservatives. It had to do with a dinner this Saturday to honour the 157 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan during our combat mission there. The ( $100.00 a plate) dinner will be attended by Alberta Lt.-Gov. Donald Ethell and hear a keynote address by Maj.-Gen. Jonathan Vance, who commanded coalition troops in Kandahar province for nine months.According to the news release, the event was "in jeopardy of cancellation." Simply put, not enough people had bought tickets. The dinner had room for 500 and would financially break even with 350 — but only 60 people had bought tickets when the news release crossed my desk. "We’re surprised that we’ve sold less than 60 tickets to an event dedicated to honouring the brave men and women who have died while serving in our Canadian Forces," wrote the event organizer, Mike McMurray. "We need to sell at least 300 more tickets to the gala dinner or we’re going to be left with little choice but to cancel the event.

ERROR: 'The Phone Calls were Fake'

[The most recent 'Error' page in a series which documents errors in the 9/11 literature. One of the goals of 911review.com is to highlight these errors and improve the quality of analysis in the community of skeptics.]

ERROR: 'The Phone Calls were Fake'

The idea that phone calls from passengers on the targeted flights were fake and actually created with voice-morphing technology has been promoted by several "no Boeing" advocates and in particular detail by author David Ray Griffin in his numerous books, talks, interviews, and essays.

The case for the 'fake phone calls theory' as articulated by Griffin has become ever more nuanced and complex as government and airline disclosures have undermined the simplicity of the original set of claims surrounding the calls, and other researchers have pointed out flaws in that case. However, the theory remains rooted in the premise, seemingly calculated to be offensive attack survivors, that the last voices heard from victims on the planes were faked.

National Archive keeps bulk of 9/11 Commission report sealed

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ten years after al Qaeda's attack on the United States, the vast majority of the 9/11 Commission's investigative records remain sealed at the National Archives in Washington, even though the commission had directed the archives to make most of the material public in 2009, Reuters has learned.

The National Archives' failure to release the material presents a hurdle for historians and others seeking to plumb one of the most dramatic events in modern American history.

The 575 cubic feet of records were in large part the basis for the commission's public report, issued July 22, 2004. The commission, formally known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, was established by Congress in late 2002 to investigate the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks, the pre-attack effectiveness of intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the government's emergency response.
