HUGE UNDERGROUND EXPLOSIONS CAUSED WTC COLLAPSES
By Christopher Bollyn
American Free Press
http://americanfreepress.net
Two unexplained "spikes" in the seismic record from September 11
indicate huge bursts of energy shook the ground beneath the World
Trade Center's twin towers – just as the buildings began to collapse.
American Free Press has learned of pools of "molten steel" found at
the base of the collapsed twin towers weeks after the collapse.
Although the energy source for these incredibly hot areas has yet to
be explained, New York seismometers recorded huge bursts of energy,
which caused unexplained seismic "spikes" at the beginning of each
collapse. These spikes suggest that massive underground explosions
may have literally knocked the towers off their foundations causing
them to collapse.
"MOLTEN STEEL"
In the basements of the collapsed towers, where the 47 central
support columns connected with the bedrock, hot spots of "literally
molten steel" were discovered more than a month after the collapse.
Such persistent and intense residual heat, 70 feet below the surface,
could explain how these crucial structural supports failed.
Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction of Flushing, New York,
told AFP that he saw pools of "literally molten steel" at the World
Trade Center. Tully was contracted on September 11 to remove the
debris from the site.
Tully called Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc.
(CDI) of Phoenix, Maryland, for consultation about removing the
debris. CDI calls itself "the innovator and global leader in the
controlled demolition and implosion of structures."
Loizeaux, who cleaned up the bombed Federal Building in Oklahoma
City, arrived on the WTC site two days later and wrote the clean-up
plan for the entire operation.
AFP asked Loizeaux about the report of molten steel on the
site. "Yes," he said, "hot spots of molten steel in the basements."
These incredibly hot areas were found "at the bottoms of the elevator
shafts of the main towers, down seven [basement] levels," Loizeaux
said. The molten steel was found "three, four, and five weeks later,
when the rubble was being removed," Loizeaux said. He said molten
steel was also found at 7 WTC, which collapsed mysteriously in the
late afternoon.
Construction steel has an extremely high melting point of about
2,800° Fahrenheit (1535° Celsius). Asked what could have caused such
extreme heat, Tully said, "Think of the jet fuel."
Loizeaux told AFP that the steel-melting fires were fueled by "paper,
carpet and other combustibles packed down the elevator shafts by the
tower floors as they `pancaked' into the basement."
Kerosene-based jet fuel, paper, or the other combustibles normally
found in the towers, however, cannot generate the heat required to
melt steel, especially in an oxygen-poor environment like a deep
basement.
Eric Hufschmid, author of a book about the WTC collapse, "Time for
Painful Questions," told AFP that due to the lack of oxygen, paper
and other combustibles packed down at the bottom of elevator shafts
would probably be "a smoky smoldering pile."
Experts disagree that jet-fuel or paper could generate such heat.
This is impossible, they say, because the maximum temperature that
can be reached by hydrocarbons like jet-fuel, burning in air is 1520°
F (825 degrees C). Because the WTC fires were fuel rich (as evidenced
by the thick black smoke) it is argued that they did not reach this
upper limit of 825° C.
The hottest spots at the surface of the rubble, where abundant oxygen
was available, were much cooler than the molten steel found in the
basements. Five days after the collapse, on September 16, the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) used an Airborne
Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) to locate and measure
the site's hot spots. Dozens of hot spots were mapped, the hottest
being in the east corner of the South Tower where a temperature of
1377° F (747°C) was recorded. This is, however, less than half as hot
at the molten steel in the basement.
The foundations of the twin towers were 70 feet deep. At that level,
47 huge box columns, connected to the bedrock, supported the entire
gravity load of the structures. The steel walls of these lower box
columns were 4 inches thick.
CENTRAL COLUMNS SEVERED
Videos of the North Tower collapse show its communication mast
falling first, indicating that the central support columns must have
failed at the very beginning of the collapse. Loizeaux told
AFP, "Everything went simultaneously."
"At 10:29 the entire top section of the North Tower had been severed
from the base and began falling down," Hufschmid writes, "If the
first event was the falling of a floor, how did that progress to the
severing of hundreds of columns?"
Asked if the vertical support columns gave way before the connections
between the floors and the columns, Ron Hamburger, a structural
engineer with the FEMA assessment team said, "That's the $64,000
question."
Loizeaux said, "If I were to bring the towers down, I would put
explosives in the basement to get the weight of the building to help
collapse the structure."
SEISMIC "SPIKES"
Seismographs at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth
Observatory in Palisades, New York, 21 miles north of the WTC,
recorded strange seismic activity on September 11 that has still not
been explained.
While the aircraft crashes caused minimal earth shaking, significant
earthquakes with unusual spikes occurred at the beginning of each
collapse. The Palisades seismic data recorded a 2.1 magnitude
earthquake during the 10-second collapse of the South Tower at
9:59:04 and a 2.3 quake during the 8-second collapse of the North
Tower at 10:28:31.
The Palisades seismic record shows that – as the collapses began – a
huge seismic "spike" marked the moment the greatest energy went into
the ground. The strongest jolts were all registered at the beginning
of the collapses, well before the falling debris struck the earth.
These unexplained "spikes" in the seismic data lend credence to the
theory that massive explosions at the base of the towers caused the
collapses.
A "sharp spike of short duration" is how seismologist Thorne Lay of
Univ. of California at Santa Cruz told AFP an underground nuclear
explosion appears on a seismograph.
The two unexplained spikes are more than twenty times the amplitude
of the other seismic waves associated with the collapses and occurred
in the East-West seismic recording as the buildings began to fall.
Lerner-Lam told AFP that a 10-fold increase in wave amplitude
indicates a 100-fold increase in energy released. These "short-period
surface waves," reflect "the interaction between the ground and the
building foundation," according to a report from Columbia Earth
Institute.
"The seismic effects of the collapses are comparable to the
explosions at a gasoline tank farm near Newark on January 7, 1983,"
the Palisades Seismology Group reported on Sept. 14, 2001.
One of the seismologists, Won-Young Kim, told AFP that the Palisades
seismographs register daily underground explosions from a quarry 20
miles away. These blasts are caused by 80,000 lbs. of ammonium
nitrate and cause local earthquakes between Magnitude 1 and 2. Kim
said the 1993 truck-bomb at the WTC did not register on the
seismographs because it was "not coupled" to the ground.
Experts cannot explain why the seismic waves peaked before the towers
hit the ground. Asked about these spikes seismologist Arthur Lerner-
Lam, director of Columbia University's Center for Hazards and Risk
Research told AFP, "This is an element of current research and
discussion. It is still being investigated."
"Only a small fraction of the energy from the collapsing towers was
converted into ground motion," Lerner-Lam said. "The ground shaking
that resulted from the collapse of the towers was extremely small."
Last November, Lerner-Lam said, "During the collapse, most of the
energy of the falling debris was absorbed by the towers and the
neighboring structures, converting them into rubble and dust or
causing other damage – but not causing significant ground shaking,"
Evidently, the energy source that shook the ground beneath the towers
was many times more powerful than the total potential energy released
by the falling mass of the huge towers.
TEST FOR EXPLOSIONS?
While steel is often tested for evidence of explosions, despite
numerous eyewitness reports of explosions in the towers, the
engineers involved in the FEMA-sponsored building assessment did no
such tests.
Dr. W. Gene Corley, who investigated for the government the cause of
the fire at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco and the Oklahoma
City bombing, headed the FEMA-sponsored engineering assessment of the
WTC collapse. Corley told AFP that while some tests had been done on
the 80 pieces of steel saved from the site, he said he did not know
about tests that show if an explosion had affected the steel. "I am
not a metallurgist," he said.
SELLING THE EVIDENCE OVERSEAS
Much of the structural steel from the WTC was sold to Alan D. Ratner
of Metal Management of Newark, New Jersey, and the New York-based
company Hugo Neu Schnitzer East. Ratner, who heads the New Jersey
branch of the Chicago-based company, quickly sold the WTC steel to
overseas companies, reportedly selling more than 50,000 tons of steel
to a Shanghai steel company known as Baosteel for $120 per ton.
Ratner paid about $70 per ton for the steel.
Other shipments of steel from the WTC went to India and other Asian
ports. Ratner came to Metal Management after spending years with a
Sydney-based (Australia) metal trading firm known as SimsMetal.
