The following is a review of some of the only known footage from inside the towers on the day of 9/11. The original footage was captured by the Naudet brothers, who were filming a documentary on New York Firefighters. The lobby of the World Trade Center Towers had an abnormal amount of damage on 9/11, and the Naudet film captures some of that.
Besides the typos in this 3 - part lobby analysis of the World Trade Center Twin Towers on 9/11, this is a good video. Let me know what you think, besides the typos and the music…though I didn’t mind the music too much. The video comes from You Tube user Dancing Cherokee Wolf .
Please also read the recent and impressive Press Release.
The 5th annual WeAreChange charity fundraiser is back and bigger than ever this year on 9/11/2010. The website with all the details and ticket sales is up and ready to go:
We are doing everything we can to make this 9th anniversary of 9/11 as big as we can in order to get a good start on the biggest annivesary, the 10th year since 9/11/2001. Join us in the fight for freedom, justice and truth with the following speakers;
Charles Giles was not in Washington Thursday night to watch the House of Representatives defeat the 9/11 health bill.
Giles, 42, an EMT who rushed into the North Tower shortly before it collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001, was stuck at home in New Jersey, where his failing lungs and heart keep him confined to bed.
“If I don’t get my medical care, I’m going to die,” Giles said in a phone interview Friday morning. “What happened last night is a total disgrace. Our government is totally broken.”
With all the news on Hellerstein standing up for the 9/11 first responders - I thought he might be a good guy….well, I learned something that others may already know real fast tonight .
A federal judge on Thursday refused to force the public release of CIA methods relating to Sept. 11 detainees who were interrogated harshly, saying the judiciary’s authority is limited when national security is at stake.
U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected arguments by the American Civil Liberties Union that it should be able to force the CIA to release names and documents related to the detainees if the methods used by the agency were illegal.
He said to do so would “confer an unwarranted competence to the district court to evaluate national intelligence decisions.”
The judge said releasing the documents requested by the ACLU would provide operational details about the application of various interrogation techniques in various circumstances for a particular detainee.
“The difference between the information officially released and the CIA operational records here is different in quality, degree, and kind,” Hellerstein said.
He cited an earlier court case that he said was consistent with his findings. In that case, the Supreme Court let the government withhold identifying information of scientists who worked on a covert CIA program researching the use of chemical, biological and radiological materials to control human behavior. The program led to the death of some human test subjects.
The street below Danny Chen’s window in lower Manhattan has changed over the last decade from a bustling four-lane thoroughfare to an empty road lined with police barricades.
To get home each day, Chen has to present his ID at a police checkpoint. When the officer lowers the metal gate into the ground to let him in, he drives through as quickly as he can. More than once, the barricade has risen too soon, lifting his wife’s minivan into the air.
Following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, the New York Police Department barricaded off its headquarters on Park Row. About 2,000 residents in two apartment complexes found themselves living inside a security zone.
Well what do you know, flasely hyped terror threats aren’t good for our economy. This other popular street was shut down after the highly dubious Oklahoma City Bombing.
A street between New York police headquarters and the Ma nhattan federal courthouse closed since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks should be reopened to save businesses there, local politicians wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler and four fellow Democrats, including Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer and state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, wrote to Napolitano today urging the department to work with local law enforcement to help determine how the street, Park Row, can be opened.
A group is calling for signers to its petition that would have the 9/11 Conspirators trial held in New York. This is from their website:
More than 2,600 people were murdered in New York City on 9/11. The five men accused of planning the 9/11 attacks have been in US custody for several years but have still not been brought to justice. Why? Because the Bush administration held the men for years in secret prisons, and then insisted on trying the men in an untested military commission.
Now the Obama administration is considering holding the trial in a commission, too . These military commissions are not only lacking in fundamental due process guarantees, they are extremely inefficient. Since 9/11, military commissions have tried only three terrorism suspects. US federal courts, by contrast, have successfully completed more than 400 terrorism cases in that time.
First off, the Building7Footage.com website has been updated with a bigger screen, a more widely viewable video format, and sleeker look. Go see what the District Attorney’s office will be looking at as they open all the letters we sent last week!
Which brings us to the news you may be waiting for. We finished the week with a grand total of 133 letters. Well short of our ambitious goal of 1,000, but enough to feel confident that the DA’s office is taking notice.
So, thank you very much to everyone who participated. For everyone who didn’t participate, it’s not too late! In fact, Week 2 is the perfect time to multiply the size of our campaign so that just when the DA’s office thinks the letters will stop flowing in, they begin experiencing a noticeable increase.
Today is the first day of our 4-week campaign urging the Manhattan District Attorney to investigate the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7. To bring Building 7 fully to the attention of the District Attorney, our goal is to flood the DA’s office with 1,000 letters and faxes per week, because anything short of 1,000 will fail to show just how widespread the desire for a new investigation is. We are counting on you to take part in this gigantic grassroots effort no matter who you are or how busy you are. The good thing is:
You will only be asked to send one letter per week!
And, at the beginning of each week, we will report how many letters and faxes were sent the previous week! This way we all get to know whether or not we reached our goal.
Jon Gold and I met up at the WTC when I was in New York City recently and we decided to pay a visit to the 9/11 Memorial Preview site. They sell a lot of stuff there, mostly hardcore propaganda. It’s hard to describe the disgust I felt being in that place.
The latest scientifically established facts about the harms suffered by 9/11 rescue and recovery workers scream out for action.
A study of 13,000 firefighters and Emergency Medical Service workers revealed in 2006 that about one-fifth had lost the equivalent of 12 years worth of lung functioning.
Now, a followup in the New England Journal of Medicine reports that the damage appears to be permanent in most of those rescuers.
Here we are, heading into the fourth and final week of the Building What?! campaign! Thank you for sticking with it.
As this campaign comes to an end, we would like you to contact us and let us know your thoughts about what worked, what didn’t work, and your suggestions for where we should continue to channel our collective voice.
Please remember, whether you’ve been participating for the last three weeks or not, we need you to make that one all-important phone call this coming Wednesday to the Speaker of the City Council, Christine Quinn. When it comes to the Speaker, we must establish ourselves as a force to be reckoned with, or it’s not even worth contacting her office. So please help us reach our goal of 1,000 phone calls.
Please note that City Council offices will be closed tomorrow, Friday, April 2 in observance of Good Friday. Building WHAT?! will resume full force on Monday, April 5, and culminate on Wednesday, April 7 with the Speaker of the City Council, Christine Quinn, who will be the only council member we contact that day. Our goal for the Speaker’s office is 1,000 phone calls and faxes, so please be sure to participate on Wednesday, April 7 – with only one person to contact it’s very easy!
Also, just to reiterate, please be sure to direct the aides to “A Message From Bob McIlvaine” on the NYCCAN.org homepage so that they see footage of Building 7 and learn what the pursuit of truth is all about.
Thank you!

Thank you for making Day 11 another eye-opening day! One caller had this to report:
“Called all three today – ladies at Reyna and Rivera’s offices were very receptive to the news about Building 7… None of the three had even heard of Building 7 before this calling campaign. I did my best to inform – got some “wow” responses!”
