Unveiling the Truth Behind 9/11: Beyond the Official Story

Ed Asner's political activism spans decades, and his views are often outside the accepted political discourse. However, when it comes to the narrative surrounding the September 11, 2001, attacks, the designated parameters of discussion remain extremely narrow. This article delves into evidence that challenges the official story and presents arguments that the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers was not caused by aircraft impacts.

Challenging the Official Narrative

The notion that the WTC towers were brought down by aircraft is consistently reinforced by the mainstream media and official investigations. But, as Jack Straceny, a former intelligence officer with the U.S. Air Force, points out, examining the evidence from various angles reveals inconsistencies that are hard to ignore. Let's explore these points:

Speeds Unusual for a Commercial Jet: According to calculations, the aircraft reportedly hitting the towers were traveling at an unusually high speed, approximately 600 mph. Such velocities are virtually impossible for commercial aircraft at sea level. This raises serious questions about the type of aircraft involved and whether they were actually commercial jets. Impossibility of Structural Penetration: The notion that large aircraft could penetrate steel structures without leaving marks or causing widespread damage is implausible. Witness reports and amateur videos captured moments of impact that are inconsistent with a large aircraft, such as the "nose in, nose out" clip wherein one plane appears to emerge intact through the opposite side of the building. Misplaced Evidence: One of the most infamous pieces of evidence is the discovery of Mohammed Atta's passport on the ground near the site. The discovery of a lone passenger's passport immediately after the event is highly convenient and raises suspicions about the reliability of this evidence. Unusual Collapse Pattern: The unique way the WTC towers collapsed cannot be explained by conventional cratering. Instead, the buildings decomposed into fine dust, floated away, and left almost no debris. This phenomenon is unprecedented in building collapse history. In contrast, the collapse of other structures, such as the Champlain Towers South in Miami, left significant debris. This stark contrast highlights the extraordinary nature of the WTC collapse. Survivor Accounts: Accounts from individuals who supposedly survived being buried under the debris of a 147-meter building are difficult to square with the severity of the collapse. Their ability to walk out unharmed into a clear blue sky from such a catastrophic event appears almost miraculous and contradicts the expected outcome of such a collapse.

Independent Investigations and Scholarly Work

The complexity and the weight of evidence that contradicts the official story have led many qualified professionals to question the veracity of the established narrative. Dr. Judy Wood, a physicist, conducted an independent forensic investigation titled "Where Did the Towers Go?" which thoroughly examines the inconsistencies in the official account. Her work, along with that of the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth) organization, sheds light on critical aspects of the event.

Consequences of the 9/11 Truth Movement

The 9/11 attacks had far-reaching consequences that extend beyond the immediate loss of life. These events have been used as a justification for military interventions in countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Twenty years later, the United States has withdrawn with a significant loss of credibility. It is crucial that we address the profound truths behind the 9/11 attacks to move forward as a society.

Addressing these issues and exploring the full scope of 9/11 can lead to a more informed public and a deeper understanding of the events that have shaped the world since that fateful day. The efforts to uncover the truth are part of a broader movement to ensure that history is accurately recorded and that the narrative surrounding monumental events is open to questioning and critical evaluation.
