WSJ 5th UPDATE: Airplane 'Photo Op' Angers 9/11 Witnesses
(Updates with comments from onlookers.)
By Stephen Power
Of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
A Boeing airplane escorted by a military jet flew low over lower
Manhattan on Monday, frightening office workers and spurring evacuations
in what turned out to be a U.S. government-approved publicity operation.
The maneuvering of the 747, which circled around some skyscrapers,
recalled memories of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which
resulted in the deaths of thousands after two hijacked commercial
airplanes rammed into the World Trade Center. Onlookers and evacuated
workers said they were incredulous that government agencies didn't issue
an advisory to alert a public still scarred from 9/11.
The U.S. Air Force confirmed that an "aerial photo mission," which
involved an F-16 fighter jet, had been carried out Monday in the area of
New York City by the Presidential Airlift Group, which according to the
White House Web site is responsible for maintaining and operating
presidential airliner Air Force One.
"This mission was conducted in conjunction with normally scheduled
continuation training for assigned aircrew members," the Air Force said
in a statement. The mission was scheduled to last from 10 a.m. to 10:30
a.m. EDT.

9/11: A government story full of holes

Simon Polakowski holds
Media Credit: Junfu Han / Daily Lobo
Simon Polakowski holds "From the Ground Up" during a recording of "9/11
Myth vs. Reality" in the studio Monday.
Simon Polakowski said that if he believed the government's story on
Sept. 11, 2001, he might as well believe the Earth is flat.
Polakowski produces an hour-long show with his friend Bob Martin called
"9/11 Myth vs. Reality."
The show airs at 8 p.m. Mondays on public access channel 27.
He said that on Sept. 11, he was listening to the newscasts and thought
to himself, "This is such bullshit."
He started the show more than one year ago to reach people who had
similar doubts.
"From what I've been researching, there are millions of people who do
not believe the official story and explanation," Polakowski said. "There
are shows like this all across (the country). We get a lot of our
material off of YouTube and off the Internet, and I am very thankful for
all the people who are doing this research totally out-of-pocket."
The story of 19 hijackers led by "a man in a cave" is something
Polakowski and Martin have a hard time believing.
"It was the most far-fetched story I have ever heard in my life,"
Polakowski said. "The most powerful nation on the face of the Earth, the
most advanced military with over 30 intelligence agencies with over $40
billion in the annual budget to protect the nation, and they all failed?"
Martin was working as a doctor and living in New York on Sept. 11 and
said he went to Ground Zero to help.
"One thing that bothered me was that we all noticed that the skies were
quite empty, and there were no planes flying because there was a stop
order," Martin said. "But they were really quiet. There were no military
aircrafts over New York City for quite sometime, and somebody yelled
out, 'Where the hell are the jets?' That question gnawed at me for the
following year."
Martin said that as the day went on, there were more questions and
concerns that popped up in his head.
"Another thing that gnawed at me was when I went down to Ground Zero, -
it occurred to me that there was almost nothing left of these
structures," Martin said. "I'm looking at girders that weigh anywhere
from 4 to 300 tons. They were embedded in other skyscrapers like giant
arrows. We're talking about distances upwards of 400 feet. Because this
was allegedly a gravity-driven collapse, I found it very hard to reckon
with what I saw."
Polakowski said 9/11 was a shock-and-awe maneuver that caught Americans
completely off guard.
"Franklin Delano Roosevelt said there are no accidents in politics,"
Martin said. "It was the ultimate political act. People were suffering
from PTSD in New York City, and that is what war does. It unbalances the
human psyche, and when there is something of shock, they are much easier
to manipulate."
Martin said the TV show explores possibilities of how and why 9/11
happened. Martin said many parts of the government's story do not hold
up to scrutiny.
"The event 9/11 is a seminal event of the century that triggered this
global War on Terror," Martin said. "It goes logically from what we're
positive of - that the War on Terror is perhaps a hoax and is contrived.
And that has its origins in intelligence agencies and major corporations
in the Western world."
Martin said he uses the basic question of motive and benefit to come to
his conclusion.
"When detectives come upon a murder scene, the first thing they ask
themselves is, 'Who benefits from this?'" Martin said. "'Is it a crime
of passion? Is there something that was put together and planned out?'
This is the main question that should be asked about 9/11, is, 'Who
benefits? Did the Arabs benefit?' No. So, who benefited from this?"

Concrete Pulverization
Twin Towers' Concrete Turned to Dust in Mid-Air
A striking feature of the Twin Towers' destruction was the pulverization
of most of the concrete into gravel and dust before it hit the ground.
This is evident from the explosive mushrooming of the towers into vast
clouds of concrete as they fell, and from the fact that virtually no
large pieces of concrete were found at Ground Zero, only twisted pieces
of steel. 1 Estimates put the size of the particles, which also
included gypsum and hydrocarbons, in the ten- to 100-micron range. 2
Some idea of the volume of the dust clouds can be obtained by examining
photographs taken shortly after each tower collapsed.
The researcher calling himself plaguepuppy articulated the thoroughness
of the destruction and its incompatibility with the official explanation.
In trying to come to terms with what actually happened during the
collapse of the World Trade Towers, the biggest and most obvious problem
that I see is the source of the enormous amount of very fine dust that
was generated during the collapses. Even early on, when the tops of the
buildings have barely started to move, we see this characteristic fine
dust (mixed with larger chunks of debris) being shot out very
energetically from the building. During the first few seconds of a
gravitational fall nothing is moving very fast, and yet from the outset
what appears to be powdered concrete can be seem blowing out to the
sides, growing to an immense dust cloud as the collapse progresses.
The floors themselves are quite robust. Each one is 39" thick; the top
4" is a poured concrete slab, with interlocking vertical steel trusses
(or spandrel members) underneath. This steel would absorb a lot of
kinetic energy by crumpling as one floor fell onto another, at most
pulverizing a small amount of concrete where the narrow edges of the
trusses strike the floor below. And yet we see a very fine dust being
blown very energetically out to the sides as if the entire mass of
concrete (about 400,000 cubic yards for the whole building) were being
converted to dust. Remember too that the tower fell at almost the speed
of a gravitational free-fall, meaning that little energy was expended
doing anything other than accelerating the floor slabs.
Considering the amount of concrete in a single floor (~1 acre x 4") and
the chemical bond energy to be overcome in order to reduce it to a fine
powder, it appears that a very large energy input would be needed. The
only source for this, excluding for now external inputs or explosives,
is the gravitational potential energy of the building. Any extraction of
this energy for the disaggregation of the concrete would decrease the
amount available for conversion to kinetic energy, slowing the speed of
the falls. Yet we know that the buildings actually fell in about 9
seconds*, only slightly less than an unimpeded free-fall from the same
height. This means that very little of the gravitational energy can have
gone toward pulverizing the concrete.
Even beyond the question of the energy needed, what possible mechanism
exists for pulverizing these vast sheets of concrete? Remember that dust
begins to appear in quantity in the very earliest stages of the
collapses, when nothing is moving fast relative to anything else in the
structure. How then is reinforced concrete turned into dust and ejected
laterally from the building at high speed?
dust covers Manhattan street
Evidence indicates that the hundreds of thousands of tons of concrete in
the Twin Towers was converted almost entirely to dust.
Both reports of workers at Ground Zero and photographs of the area
attest to the thoroughness of the pulverization of the concrete and
other non-metallic solids in the towers. 3 An examination of our
extensive archives of images of Ground Zero and its immediate
surroundings reveals no recognizable objects such as slabs of concrete,
glass, doors, or office furniture. The identifiable constituents of the
rubble can be classified into just five categories:
* pieces of steel from the towers' skeletons
* pieces of aluminum cladding from the towers' exteriors
* unrecognizable pieces of metal
* pieces of paper
* dust
Despite the presence of 400,000 cubic yards of concrete in each tower,
the photographs reveal almost no evidence of macroscopic pieces of its
remains.
Pyroclastic Flows
Many observers have likened the Towers' destruction to volcanoes, noting
that the Towers seemed to be transformed into columns of thick dust in
the air. An article about seismic observations of events in New York
City on 9/11/01, relates the observations of scientists Won-Young Kim,
Lynn R. Sykes, J.H. Armitage:
The authors also noted that, as seen in television images, the fall of
the towers was similar to a pyroclastic flow down a volcano, where hot
dust and chunks of material descend at high temperatures. The collapse
of the WTC generated such a flow, though without the high temperatures. 4
* 15 seconds is a much more accurate estimate of total collapse time
than 9 seconds. (See this time analysis of the North Tower collapse.)
Yet the 9-second figure is widely repeated in the literature of both
detractors and supporters of the official story. References

Larry Silverstein, WTC 7, and the 9/11 Demolition
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/cutter.html
"Larry Silverstein is the New York property tycoon who purchased the
entire WTC complex just 6 months prior to the 9/11 attacks. That was the
first time in its 33-year history the complex had EVER changed
ownership. Mr. Silverstein�s first order of business as the new owner
was to change the company responsible for the security of the complex.
The new security company he hired was Securacom (now Stratasec). George
W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, was on its board of directors, and
Marvin�s cousin, Wirt Walker III, was its CEO. According to public
records, not only did Securacom provide electronic security for the
World Trade Center, it also covered Dulles International Airport and
United Airlines � two key players in the 9/11 attacks.
The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp.,
also linked for many years to the Bush family. KuwAm has been linked to
the Bush family financially since the Gulf War. One of its principals
and a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, Mishal Yousef Saud al Sabah,
served on the board of Stratesec.
Now, consider: The members of a small cabal owned the WTC complex,
controlled its electronic security, and also controlled the security not
only for one of the airlines whose aircraft were hijacked on 9/11, but
the airport from which they originated.
Another little �coincidence� -- Mr. Silversten, who made a down-payment
of $124 million on this $3.2 billion complex, promptly insured it for $7
Billion. Not only that, he covered the complex against �terrorist attacks�.
Following the attacks, Silverstein filed TWO insurance claims for the
maximum amount of the policy ($7B), based on the two -- in Silverstein's
view -- separate attacks. The insurance company, Swiss Re, paid Mr.
Silverstein $4.6 Billion � a princely return on a relatively paltry
investment of $124 million. " Source

Silverstein Makes a Huge Profit off of the 9/11 Attacks
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/silverstein.html
" As an American born Jew, Silverstein is committed to Jewish causes. He
was chairman of the board of the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) and remains
a member of the executive committee, along with his wife, Klara, who is
also a founding member of the Jewish Women's Foundation. His son, Roger,
and his daughter, Lisa, are also UJA contributors. Roger Silverstein,
director of leasing for WTC 7, serves on the executive committee of the
Real Estate Executive Division of the UJA, and his daughter Lisa is
co-chair of the UJA (source). According to its website, the UJA is the
most successful local charity in the history of the United States, and
has raised millions of dollars in support of the Jewish community and
the state of Israel. "

Yes, I know you are OT.
We're talking about the flyby of Airforce One and you bring up 9-11
conspiracy crap?
