Today, we are going back to the evidence collected by Dr Judy Wood, in her book, Where Did The Tower’s Go.
Simple question, if you take a 110 storey skyscraper - half a million tons of steel and concrete, and you knock if over, then what should happen? Well it’s going to make a huge noise and shake the ground.
Here is where the story gets strange. Seismologists studied the data from 9/11 and found the collapse of the 2 towers only registered as a relatively small earthquake, barely a magnitude 2.
The Unmistakable Silence
When a huge mass falls and hits the earth, all that energy has to go somewhere. When a 110 storey skyscraper made of steel and concrete collapses most of the energy converts into heat, dust and Seismic Energy, causing the ground to shake.
The Missing Thud on the Richter Scale.
There was a seismograph station 21 miles away from NYC, and the instrument recorded the events of 9/11. When the towers collapsed, it recorded a series of spikes but the overall energy released was remarkably low compared to what would have been expected.
This is the seismic chart Dr Judy Wood frequently references. The largest reading for the collapse of WTC 1 was only about 2.3 on the Richter Scale. For WTC 2 the reading was slightly less at about 2.1.
This table briefly explains what you would expect from different readings on the Richter Scale.
Witness Statements
The lack of the ground shaking was noticed by people on the ground. As NYPD Detective Ken Lanza stated after the South Tower fell, despite being close enough to be enveloped in the massive dust cloud.
‘People were saying that the first tower had collapsed, and I said ‘No way!’ I was right there, I didn’t feel the ground shake and I didn’t hear a big crash!’
According to Dr Wood the materiel underwent a transformation before it reached the ground - it turned to dust.
Dr Wood also points out that if any large building collapses, the debris pile should cause catastrophic damage to adjacent structures due to the sheer volume and weight of the falling material. The physical damage to the surrounding buildings suggests that the steel and concrete did not fall and land where it should have.
The event also did not last long enough to be a gravity driven pancaked collapse. The energy required would have been a longer process taking many more seconds for the upper floors to crush every floor below. We observed WTC 1 and 2 collapse at free fall speed, which supports Dr Judy Wood stating the material beneath was removed instantaneously as the destruction happened.
Witness Confirms No Large Pieces of Flying Debris
Witnesses in the immediate vicinity, often describe a massive dust cloud with no heavy objects mixed in with it.
FDNW Firefighter Kenneth Charles, Squad 18, was near the towers when one collapsed.
‘The most striking thing to me was, I was expecting to see large pieces of steel flying out, and I didn’t see anything larger than, like, a piece of office furniture, or something like that. All I saw was smoke, dust and tiny fragments coming out of the building.’
So the scientific evidence from the seismic charts, the data that measures how much the earth shook, supports Dr Judy Wood’s explanation of the towers turning to dust before they hit the ground. The ground barely trembled, which scientifically means that the majority of those buildings did not hit the ground. This is powerful evidence that the towers material was instantly dustified before it could hit the ground.
This along with all the other evidence collected by Dr Judy Wood gives her explanation, that the towers were brought down by an unconventional method, a very strong case.
