So, are you going to address the news reporter / fire fighter testimonies?
If there were all these other explosives planted in the bottoms of the buildings designed to take them down, then why did both buildings collapse from the point of the greatest heat from the fires, above where the jets hit? They didn't fall from the bottom, they collapse initiated on the floors where the fire was burning.
That's what an investigation is supposed to uncover. Unfortunately, the 911 commission appointed by the administration is calling YOUR firefighters a bunch of liars, and the government is
refusing to acknowledge any explosions took place.
One possibility, the explosions on the lower levels knocked out the central steel columns, and then cutter charges were detonated below the collapse point of the planes, thus forcing the already weakened central support columns to collapse. Who knows really? The government didn't investigate.
Firefighter Louie Cacchioli, who was quoted earlier, testified in 2004 to members of the Commission?s staff. But, he reported, they were so unreceptive that he ended up walking out in anger. ?I felt like I was being put on trial in a court room,? said Cacchioli. ?They were trying to twist my words and make the story fit only what they wanted to hear. All I wanted to do was tell the truth and when they wouldn?t let me do that, I walked out.?58
That Cacchioli?s experience was not atypical is suggested by janitor William Rodriguez, whose testimony was also quoted earlier. Although Rodriguez was invited to the White House as a National Hero for his rescue efforts on 9/11, he was, he said, treated quite differently by the Commission: "I met with the 9/11 Commission behind closed doors and they essentially discounted everything I said regarding the use of explosives to bring down the north tower.?59
When reading The 9/11 Commission Report, one will not find the name of Cacchioli, or Rodriguez, or anyone else reporting explosions in the towers. It would appear that the Commission deliberately withheld this information, as it apparently did with regard to Able Danger60 and many other things that should have been included in ?the fullest possible account of the events surrounding 9/11.?61
The definitive report about the collapse of the towers was to have been provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). According to Rodriguez, however, this investigative body was equally uninterested in his testimony: ?
I contacted NIST . . . four times without a response. Finally, [at a public hearing] I asked them before they came up with their conclusion . . . if they ever considered my statements or the statements of any of the other survivors who heard the explosions. They just stared at me with blank faces.?62
In light of this report of NIST?s response, it is not surprising to find that its final report, which in the course of supporting the official story about the collapses ignores many vital issues,63 makes no mention of reports of explosions and other phenomena suggestive of controlled demolition.
