A Critical Analysis of the Collapse of WTC Towers 1, 2 & 7 friom an Explosives and Conventional Demolition Industry Viewpoint

longer text

The purpose of this analysis is to explore the possibility of explosives or similar supplemental catalysts causing or contributing to the collapse of World Trade Center Towers 1, 2 and 7 in New York on September 11, 2001 through examination of known facts as they relate to scientific principles of gravity, explosives, and structural failure. To our knowledge, this is the first analysis conducted by experts in the field of explosive demolition, as well as the first with observations and commentary from personnel directly responsible for the removal of debris from Ground Zero.

Some topics that do not relate to such analysis – and thus receive no practical consideration here – include:

• Who owned the buildings
• Who insured the buildings
• What types of documents were stored in the buildings
• Motives for destroying the buildings

The significance of the above points (among countless others) can be debated forever, but none relate to the specific actions required to execute a successful explosive demolition.

Nor will we be rendering opinions on the NIST, FEMA or 9/11 Commission Reports, as they did not make specific comments regarding explosives.

It is further acknowledged that many family members of WTC victims have embraced – and in some cases aligned with – those who question the "official" version of events that occurred on 9/11. This report will not, nor is it intended to, address the much wider scope of unanswered questions regarding those events. Rather this is a reasoned, factual analysis of a single group of questions and allegations that fall within our specific area of expertise. To that end, we hope this report will be of benefit to all interested parties.
