WTC Steel Found Buried at Ground Zero
Edited on Wed Jan-31-07 10:21 PM by cal04
Large steel columns from the fallen twin towers have been found beneath a service road being excavated at ground zero in the search for long-buried Sept. 11 remains, officials said Wednesday.

The surprising discovery of World Trade Center steel in the past week raises more questions about what was left at ground zero in the cleanup after the 2001 attacks and how the service road was created in the first place.

The steel, found during a dig for human remains that has yielded nearly 300 bones in the past three months, includes two heavy beams that were stacked horizontally in the landfill, as if moved and placed there, a person with direct knowledge of the discovery told The Associated Press. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss the findings and insisted on anonymity.

The discovery was confirmed by officials for the city and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owned the trade center.

1. I'd love to see an analysis on those beams...

14. So would I, but sadly I think that these beams will vanish into history
With nary a trace and absolutely no analysis. This is one of many things that bother me about 911. It was treated as a crime scene alright, but rather than a crime scene that needs to be preserved and analyzed, it seemed as if the criminals were in charge of it, rushing evidence off hastily and with no analysis of evidence. Truly sad, and really makes me wonder.

100. I stopped wondering long ago
I read an interesting line which seems a truism stretching back to the beginning of human history:

"The petty criminal dreams of committing the perfect crime while the State Crminal dreams of controlling the crime scene with time to remove any incriminating evidence."

Yes, the criminals were in charge of it, and at the very least, the Busheviks are criminally negligent, at worst...LIHOP, HIHOP, or MIHOP.

And yes, in order to swiftly dispose of any evidence of negligence or, at worst, evidence of demolition charges, the Busheviks did indeed go to great lengths to ensure all evidence was swiftly disposed of (they were in such a hurry to dispose of it, but now nothing is even built there still!), the Busheviks went so far as to have the EPA lie and say the air was clean a mere two days after 9/11.

Not that they care much about the health or lives of the peasants, we are little more than animals to them, of that I am convinced.

Oh, and Bush/Cheney refusing to tesitfy except if they were together and NOT UNDER OATH! There is unquestionably Bushevik criminal culpability in 9-11, the only question is which kind: negligence, LIHOP, HIHOP or MIHOP.

And as for this:

Oh, and Bush/Cheney refusing to tesitfy except if they were together and NOT UNDER OATH! There is unquestionably Bushevik criminal culpability in 9-11, the only question is which kind: negligence, LIHOP, HIHOP or MIHOP.


So you 're arguing that Bush & Cheney engineered, or let happen, an event which cost thousands of American lives, but were absolutely unwilling to lie under oath?

It needs to be saved, guarded, and then appropriately tested.

Hopefully a lawyer has asked for the Beams and FBI to test it.., then independant labs

This is the Truth that rises from the bottom and surfaces

10. I wonder if an independent lab or labS - would be better choices
at this point, rather than the FBI to make the analysis? It's so 'confuzzeling' (confusing) at this point....who can one trust to analyze and present trustworthy, honest, scientific data.

It's exhausting to think about it all, but we must push forward with expecting/demanding the TRUTH ~ wherever it may lead.

9. There should be a hue and cry about this...
It MUST be made available for analysis. And if the Cabal tries to obstruct the effort, it's proof positive of their complicity in 9/11.

I see you're trying to deflect from the fact that I posted a link to a resource with many dozens of articles with many thousands of facts.

Interesting that you don't attempt to refute any one of them with a half decent argument.

110. Some of it may have ended up in Sacramento.
My nephew's wife just rather casually let it drop in a conversation that her brother was working at a big construction site there and that they were using some of the scrap metal from the World Trade Center. Oddly enuf, what they are building in Sacramento is something called The Twin Towers - two 53-story condo towers. I haven't been able to confirm if this is true or not. Certainly no press coverage.

or wouldn't all the other surrounding buildings, some even closer as #7 was three hundred feet away and #6 was between the towers and #7, wouldn't they also collapse completely? :eyes:

18. The "fire weaken trusses" theory was the Gold Standard...Until...
it was pointed out that that theory completely ignored the central support beams.

Then it became the building "top hat" held up the structure until they weakened.

But until the new theory was proffered, anyone who questioned the first theory was a kook who couldn't understand structural engineering.

114. Nonsense - nothing of the sort has happened.
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 11:21 PM by TankLV
You don't understand structural engineering. Period. That is obvious.

The "fire weakened trusses" still remains undisputed. They are a major factor for the collapse, the other being the elimination of a major part of the support structure located as a "tube" on the exterior of the building.

The HOW of the WTC collapse has been thoroughly examined and explained by ALL engineers and they ALL agree on the cause. Unanimously.

The building was a "tube" - the exterior "skin" was actually the outer ring of the structure. The outer "skin" was not a superficial, non-structgural "curtain wall" like in most buildings today - it was over 2/3 the structural support for the building.

The inner "core" was the other support structure.

The planes took out about 1/4 of the structural support by removing a large part of the exterior structure.

What was amazing is that the towers continued to stand as long as they did...

You know jack shit about engineering...

118. Are you a structural engineer?
My niece has a masters in structural engineering. I would give her opinions a lot more credence than someone who supports their arguments with "You know jack shit about engineering..."

For the record, my degrees are in journalism and law, so I tend toward finding facts (hard to do) rather than forming opinions (easy). I sincerely doubt that "ALL engineers" have examined the cause of the the collapse, especially since so much ("ALL?") of the materials were disposed of so quickly. Besides, when have "ALL" of any group of people ever agreed on anything? We're still fighting over whether Bud Lite is Less Filling or Tastes Great.

11. I'd like to know if the beams show the sheared slant of a shaped charges
and thermite residue. Three buildings do NOT come down in their own footprints by accident. They were brought down intentionally....with 3000 people still inside. It's been known since 1989 that the combination of asbestos and corroding steel infrastructure meant the buildings were only going to last 30 years, instead of planned 200-300.....and they were going to have to be taken down.

62. Look at what we are expected to believe

1. High explosives were used somewhere in the towers to cut some columns.

2. Thermate was used somewhere in the towers to cut some other columns (that for some reason could not be cut by high explosives)

3. More high explosives were spread on each floor to:
- pulverize concrete floors.
- create Hoffman's pyroclastic flows

You are talking thousands of tons of explosives (especially if you believe Hoffman)

Couple of general comments:

1. The above is as detailed as it gets - not a single 911 truth seeker has even bothered to put forward a detailed scenario on how all the above was actually accomplished. How many tons of explosives? How many miles of det cord? How long to install? How many people needed? We simply to take their word for it.

2. We are expected to believe that the biggest and most complex controlled demolition in history was done with non-standard techniques and non-standard materials and done perfectly the first time. After fully loaded 767 had slammed into each tower. How can it obviously be CD when no CD before or since has ever been done that way? Who would have the expertise do engineer and execute such an engineering feat?

76. You are not expected to "believe" anything
And that's the problem. No one is telling you what to believe.

Do you need to "believe" something or be told what to believe or are you willing to think for yourself? That's the real question.

What you have is a bunch of curious people digging into the evidence at hand and attempting to fit it all together. There are a dozen different ideas for why the World Trade Centers collapsed the way they did.

And you ask for a complete, detailed analysis of the collapse with all the documentation. And it needs to be done by certified experts of which you approve. Otherwise you will dismiss it as insufficient.

The rest of us look at the paucity of evidence given us by this criminally run administration and demand a thorough, wide-spread investigation.

How was it done? I'll tell you as soon as you tell me on what they spent the missing $2.3 trillion.

As a veteran I can assure you that the government has a lot of "goodies" that you will never know about until they choose to reveal them.

106. As a man who has been trained in Structures and Physics I can
tell you with no small amount of certainty that buildings do not "implode" unless all of the major supports have been obliterated at the same time. The only way for a structure to collapse like the World Trade buildings did is for it to achieve a free fall status. Any decent resistance to it's downward movement will cause a tumbling effect and you get debris flying off in every available direction with a resulting dissipation of the gravitational energy of the fall. By themselves those airplanes should have left huge portions of the skyscrapers standing since there is no way they could have compromised the World Trade towers main supports all at the same time. How it was pulled off is still a mystery but you can make book on the fact that those buildings were "pulled" by experts.

95. Woa...that's an interesting take on this.
What could possibly have been the reason someone would just bury those beams?

I doubt they were trying to use them as structural support for that service road - that would be WAY out of standard specs, I'm sure. Not to mention illegal since who ever got paid to make that road would surely get busted for swapping junk materials for the materials they would have been PAID to place there.

Of course, that's assuming that any sort of "support" was required for that service road in the first place.

So I like your take: that they were deliberatly placed there and buried by someone who was concerned about a cover up. They were making a time capsule of evidence of sorts?

This could get very interesting...

20. Nothing like a little distraction during an embarrassing trial ...
> two heavy beams that were stacked horizontally in the landfill,
> as if moved and placed there,

How do people know that they came from "the WTC" rather than
just being found there?

Which building were they from? (e.g., 1, 2 or 7 might be useful, the
others not so)

When? (before or after 11-Sep-01?)

Just things that make you go "Hmmm?"

30. The conspiracy unravels! Proof arrives! Hallelujah!
Some contractor saves money and time by sticking steel form the -facade- beneath an access road instead of hauling it to the dump where it would be shipped to Taiwan!

WOW! The conspiracy unravels! Bush is doomed! Truther Science is vindicated! The most complex and improbable plot in human history is revealed!

Or, maybe not.

36. Merv, you're showing how the anti-conspiratroids sometimes expend more
imagination concocting their debunkings than the conspiracists
spend on their theories.

Without any evidence at all, you make up an explanation that sounds
plausible and comforting to you.

As soon as I heard about these buried beams, my screenwriting mind
started working.

I see two Ground Zero workers at break time at 4:30 a.m. muttering
into their coffee

"Jim, you ought to take a look at this steel over here. It looks
real strange."

later: "If I rig a pully and a cable over here, we can drag it over
there, and then Roger can bury it. But we need to arrange a distraction."

"We could get killed doing this."

"We're here to do the right thing, or why are we here at all?"

later: a noisy collapse incident in the rubble pile is arranged. Lights
go out. It takes several hours to ensure that nobody's been hurt.

later: pulmonary disease, health failing--"It was worth it." Whispered
deathbed conferences.

Now that's fiction, and I don't go around mistaking it for truth.

But for years I believed the fiction I assumed--that the four 9/11 aircraft
attacked simultaneously and it was all over in 15 minutes. It was only
after some truthists informed me that there was no air defense for 100
minutes that I realized that I had done the Bushcists' propagandizing to

43. It is so nice to talk openly about 9-11 Truth without it going to . . .
the dungeon straight away!!!

Hey, DU, it is time to let it out and not sequester it to the dungeon every single time.

I say, allow Dr. Jones to do some tests on these beams as well as independant labs.

9-11 was/is MIHOP all the way. No doubt about it. Time to re-open it and investigate it properly, without the Bush Crime Family and the Neo-con Rethug administration or cronies involved in any way. Let the skeletons comeout into full daylight.

48. Occam at his worst
So miles of det cord and ls charges were timed to go off after being unaffected by the impact of a jetliner. The jet and massive fuel fire missed any and all det cord strung. You are aware that lsc has to contact steel to cut it? That the copper jet leaves a brilliant fingerprint unlike any cutting torch. I am sure no one would notice the WEEKS of prep on a building to blow it up. The whole topic makes me feel sorry for those that pimp it.

This topic turns normal people to drooling idiots. It belongs in the basement.

After being part of many projects in the NG, and industry here and abroad here is my guess. Some guys took beams and used them for temporary cover over a ditch, hole, or muddy area and left them. Somebody did not feel like moving multi ton beams and covered them over. Human laziness.

Nukes caused the tsunami too.

hundreds of charges were detonated with rf signals or cell lines at the EXACT same time. RF that is subject to interference from a light ballast? With no VISIBLE or AUDIBLE effect. Have you ever heard a high explosive go off. It stands out, even a little bit.

Radio control, no way. Even assuming you had a perfect signal from a source, a detonator that was impervious to interference, and no interference from the MASSIVE FUCKING JET that flew into your wired up structure..You would still see, hear, smell explosive, and leave trace visible to any mouth breathing slob.



Note the marking from a hypersonic blast. I am sure if the res was better you could see the residue of the cutting jet of metal.


I am not an explosives expert but was an NG engineer, and drank plenty of beer with them. This "explosives" idea is bullshit.

You are better off saying the hijackers were our guys. At least that CANT be disproved in 2 minutes by common sense sources.

55. again you don't seem to have a clue...
as to how it could have been done. I don't know either but I know WTC #7 wasn't hit by any plane and collapsed completely. I know that if it was indeed a surprise attack, the secret service should have gotten Bush the hell out of harms way. Instead he was there at least 30 minutes after he'd been told the country was under attack! They thought as many as 8 planes had been hijacked. One could have been bearing down on Bush at the school! WTF!?
Perhaps you'd give Jones' pdf file linked above a read and then get back to us.

57. Umm no
I sat through an engineering degrees worth of reality at nc state and worked with people who blow stuff up for a living to know bullshit when i hear it.

I know metal inside and out. It is my job. I will never dignify these discussions with anything more than a dismissive tone. Like if someone said I should give all my possessions to someone and join up and live in a commune to solve my problems. It is crap pandered by idiots. No real science supports it.

If you bother to look there are independent pre 9/11 sources covering the behavior of metals in heat, load, and combinations of failure methods. It is a fucking science, a discipline that has put men in orbit and at the bottom of the ocean.

It is BULLSHIT assert anything else as fact to . Metal (pick your formula), under load, heat, and stress vectors it was not designed to support will fail.

The solution of fire and load is SO much simpler than detonation. Orders of magnitude simpler, difference in cutting your grass and assembling a jet liner.

I have a clue, some assholes flew jets into the buildings.

63. Sorry Man
you are the one selling snake oil, you convince me that jones it correct. I looked at his ppt and there are lots of assertions by nameless people. references to thermite, which burns with a brilliant light and is subject to gravity in loose form. No application in a cutting charge. Not exactly impossible to trace considering is leaves a mess.

What I read is bullshit. Steel structures referred to as heat sinks other basic failures. Fucking morons, any material can absorb energy. The SPEED at which it does this is more important here. Thermal absorption and radiation rates are pretty simple concepts, not addressed.

I refuse to be dragged into the shit with the pigs here. I have never heard (even after reading this shit) an explanation that covers the events of 9/11 in a more logical fashion than .. big jet crash , big damage, big fire, structural failure..

Explosives, thermite, and space lasers are possible, but just not probable.

who wallows in the belief that the government destroyed the twin towers. That is who. The jews all got the heads up, and it was all a fix, blah, blah, blah.

Bush is a fucking moron, however they did not blow up the twin towers.

The fact that NIST and the engineering community shit on this garbage is accepted. Coupled with a host of people who could make a fortune by proving it was a fix, speak volumes. Do you know how much that would be worth?

They run a shitty website and beg for money to proffer their crap. Do you know how many BILLIONS the insurance companies would pay not to have to cover the claims on property alone. You think they would just accept, the government did it, oh well.

As for credentials I have met people with all kinds, and a title on your business card does not mean you are not full of shit.

Because frankly your debunking type posts with "I've done a little engineering in my time..." style claims aren't quite cutting it.

Try Engineering News Record.

Same with a few dozen Architectural organizations, the American Institute of Architects is a good place to start.

Then there are the dozens of UNIVERSITY publications...

Take your pick - NONE of them support anything other than LOGICAL STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE CAUSED BY THE ELIMINATION OF STRUCTURAL SUPPORT AND WEAKENING BY FIRE, FOLLOWED BY THE KINETIC FORCE OF "PANCAKING" MILLION POUND FLOORS OF EVER INCREASING LOAD, AS ONE FLOOR ADDS TO THE LOAD OF THE LOWER FLOOR.

NOT ONE PROFESSIONAL WHO DOES THIS FOR A LIVING HAS SAID ANY OTHER THING...

120. NIST abandoned the "pancake" theory long ago. Where have you been?
And this is the point.

You bought the "pancake" theory. Now you believe it, even as the official cause of initiation of collapse has changed.

So if NIST has abondoned there own theory, on what grounds do you continue to cling to it?

And if all the magazines which you don't link to which you probably haven't read anyway are supporting the "pancake" theory, then they were wrong, according to NIST.

NIST doesn't even have any physical evidence (ie steel)to support there temperature/time hypothisis.
And NIST, supposedly had access to the physical evidence.

NIST never even tested for the presence of high explosives, a simple and fast test to rule out the possiblity. You call that an investigation?

None of the magazines you site had access to the steel. So it's all just a bunch of conflicting hypothises without any hard physical evidence to back it up.

To be fair, many on the other side of the argument go off just as half cocked.

Senator Max Cleland resigned from the 9/11 Commission, saying "The 9/11 Commission is compromised."

What America needs is a thorough independent investigation of all aspects of the 9/11 attacks. Until that happens, there is no reason for anyone to have any confidence in the crap we've been getting so far.

Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 06:54 PM by Beam Me Up
It's time to take off the pink goggles folks. 9/11 was a false-flag operation orchestrated from within the national security state. It is the key to the whole shabang and the one thing that could HANG these murderers and traitors.

1: According to the official story, American Flight 77 disappeared from radar several minutes after take off. The plane identified as Flight 77 once radar contact was re-established was ASSUMED to be AF77 although no visual confirmation or other evidence has ever been made public to support that assertion;
2: The plane assumed to be F77 penetrated Washington DC airspace unchallenged by military air defense even though it was being traced even by Cheney within the WH -- and this after two planes had struck the WTC and America was "known" to be "under attack."
3: The information Pilots for 9/11 Truth has was provided by the NTSB as a result of a FOIA;
4: This information purports to be be from the Flight Data Recorder (aka Black Box) of Flight 77 given to the NTSB by the FBI;
5: This information includes the FDR spreadsheet and raw data as well as the NTSB animation.
6: Pilots for 9/11 Truth analysis of this information shows conclusively that the airplane from which this data was derived could not have hit the Pentgon for the following reasons:

  1. ) The heading of the aircraft from which this black box was taken is significantly different from that of the official story, placing it NORTH of the Citgo gas station -- where the impact vehicle that knocked down the light poles would had to have been approaching from the South of the Citgo station;
  2. ) The video that has been released by the Pentagon which purportedly shows Flight 77 crashing into it is completely inconclusive except for the fact that it shows whatever hit the Pentagon traveling horizontally inches above the ground, whereas the data supplied by the NTSB shows the angle of approach to be too steep to have leveled off in this manner prior to impact;
  3. ) Finally and most importantly this data shows conclusively that the altimiter was properly adjusted in flight for barometric pressure both during the assent to 18,000' and, again, during the descent below 18,000', of this aircraft and these adjustments would place the aircraft from 480' to 520' higher above sea level than shown on the NTSB animation; because the NTSB animation does NOT show the readjustment of the altemiter upon descent.

7: Therefore, according to the NTSB data acquired by the FOIA request by Pilots for 9/11 Truth, the aircraft from which this black box was taken (which may or may not have been Flight 77) could not have hit the Pentagon because it was traveling on the wrong heading and because it was at too high an altitude to do so.
8: This is a blatant cover-up and distortion of data by the NTSB, provided by the FBI, in an effort to use this data to corroborate the official story when in fact it does just the opposite.

50. Crime tape should surround those beams
and stay up until independant investigators can analysis them.

69. Hiding the evidence
It looks more and more to me like 9.11 was an inside job.

77. So instead of shipping it to China
they buried at ground zero where it had to be discovered one day? One hell of a smoking gun. :eyes:

87. My point being that it is here...
And is not being treated as evidence at a crime scene. Very suspicious.

99. The steel they found has "burn marks"!!!!
This is from the first article: "Unlike the stacked columns, this steel appeared to be burned at one end."

I'm going back to reading more...

103. It didn't say, but that is obviously one possibility. The other possibility is...
...by thermite placed on the beams inside the building to initiate the eventual collapse of the building.

It's just something to look at on those particular beams; analyze the cuts to see what chemicals were involved in the cutting process.

96. Yes, it IS (could be) one helluva 'smoking gun'
maybe the beams wouldn't show any evidence of thermite.....would you roll your eyes then?

Or maybe they would show evidence of thermite.

Why don't you want to know an honest answer/analysis like most of us here do? That's the REAL qauestion that begs an answer.

98. No - it being buried by someone trying to preserve evidence so it would NOT goto China.
Did you even TRY to think about that, or is poking fun at peoples ideas higher on your priority list?

No, wait... You already answered that.

102. Crime scene evidence the Busheviks will do anything to keep from being analyzed
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 07:45 PM by tom_paine
I strongly believe this to be so.

Steel burned at one end/ Maybe nothing, maybe something. Let's have some independent experts and organizations have a lookesee.

No no no, says the Emperor, store it and never let it see the light of day again.

104. Normal construction practise
Putting all theories aside for a moment.  Burying construction
rubble on the construction site is a normal practice. 
Sometimes when things are to big to dispose of they are moved
to another spot on the site a buried.  An example that comes
to mind would be an enormous rock that they don't want to
(perhaps can't) cart to the dump, or as in this case larger
girders.

Maybe bad form in this case, but it normal construction
practice in some instances.

105. Lets not forget how many contracts the Carlyle groups subsidies
were given on 911, AND katrina, and anthrax, and national security including airport security.

123. Wow, huge news
They built a service road on ground zero, and used or left some of the debris as part of the road construction.

How could this happen? Definitely proves typical construction practices were in place. Shocking!!!!!!!!!
