1973 – World Trade Center (WTC) completed: On April 4, 1973, the official ribbon cutting ceremony took place for the World Trade Center, marking the completion of the two 110-story towers by the Port Authority of New York. At the time, the World Trade Center towers were the tallest buildings in the world. (source)
Below are a collection of WTC construction videos. Take your time and become more familiar with the building’s strength that was overtaken by explosives and controlled demolitions on 9/11/01.
Army officers at the Pentagon were planning a training exercise that would take place less than a week after 9/11 and that would, extraordinarily, be based around the scenario of a plane crashing into the World Trade Center. Preparations for the exercise were being made about a week before September 11.
The existence of the planned exercise was revealed by Major General Peter Chiarelli, who on September 11, 2001, was the Army’s director of operations, readiness, and mobilization. In that position, which he had moved into about a month before 9/11, Chiarelli was in charge of current operations in the Army Operations Center (AOC) at the Pentagon.
Recently acquired FOIA helicopter footage from 9/11 hit major media headlines.
The new video, some of it seen before (@ 4:00 min), is low-mid quality and mostly missing the very important aspects of the WTC Towers destruction; especially the onset of their destruction. It does however give good perspective to the dust cloud that covered thousands of people in Manhattan.
Over the last 9 years there have been many Freedom Of Information Act Requests filed pertaining to the events on 9/11/01. Very little of the information that has been acquired has had any major media attention if any at all.
The recently revealed file was uploaded to YouTube on March 6th; within 4 days the video had received 8 million views.
Live debate between Richard Gage (www.AE911Truth.org) and Chris Mohr, journalist and advocate for the theory of “natural collapse.”
Richard and Chris will be debating in public Sunday March 6th 5pm at the University Memorial Center Room 235 Colorado University in Boulder. A video of that debate will be released subsequently.

This year will mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 disaster. In these 10 years, not only have extremely important scientific questions about this tragedy gone unanswered, but they have even been ridiculed to the point of deranged absurdity. We owe a valid scientific explanation to the 3000 victims on that day, the steadily dying health-stricken first responders, the dead and wounded soldiers, and the untold thousands upon thousands of dead and injured Afghans and Iraqis resulting from the terrifying never-ending “war on terror”. Critics of those skeptical of the official story of 9/11 have often objected that an alternative theory has never been put forth. To that end, this article will put forth a scientific theory for one important aspect of the 9/11 event, the Building 7 collapse.
The YouTube user IranContraScumdid911 has posted another very interesting video.
For a month or two the web has been abuzz about an explosion off to the side of a man escaping the WTC. It is clear that a large object comes out of the window, and naturally now people are talking about what it might have been.
But while we were all watching that – we missed something else. Something is obviously interfering with the man as he scales down the wall of the burning WTC.
You must view this in the Full Screen mode to see what is happening.
The conversation that has developed is, “could this have been a fireman or another person trying to rescue the man climbing down?” The object seems to protrude too quickly to be a rescue attempt, however it is not the clearest video ever. If it was a fireman attempting a rescue I would also expect to see a fireman’s hat, head and arms as they put their lives on the line to save another. The object appears to go back into the window after interfering with the man, it then flails out of the window just after the man begins to fall…
The removal of debris from the crime scene of 9/11 has been looked at as a piece to the other crime of 9/11; the cover-up and censorship of the event and the evidence. Professionals would like to know: if the official story were correct, why would fire collapse WTC #7? This would be the first time in history that office fires could account for a total failure and global collapse of a steel-framed high-rise building. Surely there would be something to learn – imagine if you dropped a ball and it fell up!
If the removal of 9/11 crime scene evidence is new information to you, let me point you to another question you should be asking: If the attacks of 9/11 were a surprise and the collapse of WTC #7 unprecedented in history, why was an army of dump trucks there the same day ready to cart off debris which included human remains and structural evidence?

Amazing video also shows city officials hurriedly leaving after South Tower collapse
An intriguing video has appeared on You Tube that appears to show a FDNY film crew being interviewed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks by the the director of the FBI’s New York office, who has suspicions that one of the World Trade Center towers took a “secondary hit” before collapsing.
The video appears to be part of NIST’s recent FOIA releases and therefore has not been seen before now.
We have previously covered the fact that Giuliani and his group were warned that the South tower was about to collapse, before it happened. This video of them leaving the scene just after the collapse of the South tower dovetails directly with that information – another huge finding to emerge from the NIST video releases.
The video is a fascinating piece of evidence to be added to the hundreds of other accounts and descriptions of secondary explosions in and around the WTC on 9/11. This clearly indicates that the FBI believed that a secondary attack, aside from the use of air planes was under way.
Physicist Jeff Farrer – one of the scientists who found thermite in the World Trade Center dust discusses in depth his process of discovery using the scientific method.
This interview is raw footage of one of the world class experts appearing in the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth upcoming, hard hitting documentary “9/11 Explosive Evidence – Experts speak out”.
A YouTube user named 911causticcamera has uploaded some 200 videos from September 11th, 2001. Please visit his channel and skim through the videos if you have time and interest.

“I was walking to work and then all of a sudden I saw a jet crash into the first tower and two minutes later an explosion , which a whole bunch of people including myself felt on this side of the street,” says Danarus Guanaica to a CBS affiliate on Sep 11, 2001. “This is crazy.”
I found the below to be a bittersweet video document from the same YouTube user:
“I’m an architect..The way they designed these buildings it would be almost impossible to knock them over…..You can lose pieces of it, but you would not have the whole thing fall over,” says an unidentified architect just after the first plane hit the North Tower on September 11th, 2001. I wonder if that man has joined the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth yet?
Jeremy Fox: When it went off…. The second building…. It… You saw an explosion and then you just saw a humongous cloud of smoke go up and you saw the building start to fall down and then you saw the core of the building just start to disintegrate into itself..
Noted author David McCulloch once wrote, “History is a guide to navigation in perilous times.” Indeed, if history is a guide, one can look at high-rise building fires that have occurred in the past to address the issue of building safety. This review includes the fires that the 9/11 Commission concluded caused the collapse of the WTC Twin Towers, and WTC 7, for which officials declared the collapse was due to fires. Two high-rise fires listed below occurred after 9/11 and are especially noteworthy.
The history of high-rise, steel-framed buildings spans only about 100 years. Still, there are a number of very hot, large, and long lasting fires to review. One in particular, the Empire State Building, suffered a severe fire when it was struck by a B-25 bomber. The fire was fueled by high-octane gasoline, when the plane hit the 78th and 79th floors. Here’s a look at some high-rise fires through history, listed chronologically.
