Case Closed. Satellite Photo of Ground Zero 10 Days After 9/11 Shows Thick Carper of Straight Cut Steel Two Football Fields Away

If this were common knowledge there would be another investigation.

One of the first things Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who coordinated the destruction of the steel evidence at Ground Zero, did after the attack was prohibit almost all photography at the site. Police and FBI agents were ordered to confiscate cameras on the spot.

One key piece of photographic evidence that did survive was an aerial photo taken on Sept. 23, 2001, long before major clean-up operations had begun. Rescue workers and firefighters were still primarily concerned with searching for human remains and even long-shot survivors. The clash between police and firefighters which took place as Giuliani hastened to the “scoop and dump” phase of the operation was Nov. 2.

The aerial photo shows that the towers did not collapse down through the line of gravity, but were blown outwards in all directions for two or three times as far as the towers were wide, leaving a carpet of cleanly-cut steel beams and perimeter wall sections across the entire WTC complex. A downward gravitational collapse cannot explain the lateral ejection of steel sections with the weight of bulldozers for up to two football fields, at clocked speeds of up to 80 MPH.

As can be seen in the aerial photo, the steel beam pieces are mostly straight as arrows, un-deformed by heat, and cut neatly at the ends. The steel beams do not wind up in a mound, as one would expect, with the center of the tower’s bases as the high point. Rather they are scattered uniformly across the entire World Trade Center complex, which consisted of seven buildings.

Perimeter sections, which consisted of 15-inch wide beam assemblies covered with aluminum cladding, can be seen lying thickly across WTC 6, nearly two football fields away. Each one of these sections weighed up to 20 tons.

The official NIST report explained dust ejections (what are obviously demolition squibs) by saying “compressed air” forced the dust out of breaking windows. But no amount of compressed air can lift 20-ton steel assemblies and hurl them laterally for 400 feet, at 50 to 80 MPH.

Hence the reason for Giuliani’s ban on photography at Ground Zero.

The below video narrated by physicist David Chandler gives one of the best views of cut steel beam shooting upwards and outwards, not falling down through the line of gravity. Keeping in mind the massive scale of the towers (nearly a football field wide,) it must be remembered that what seem like tiny sticks are 10-foot long pieces of two-foot wide steel beam and larger, of which even the smallest would weigh nearly one ton.

Here is another view of multi-ton pieces of cut steel beams spinning away from the building as if they were toothpicks.
