911: In Plane Sight (2004)
“In Plane Site” exposes the spectator to a plethora of news excerpts from most mainstream news agencies, something no other video exposé on September 11th has managed to do to yet. Reporters, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other firsthand witnesses provided the official account of that day on live television. However, the video footage was only aired once during the initial hours of the assaults and was never again. Unquestionably true facts were replaced with what can only be regarded as government prescribed propaganda, material was mysteriously removed, and tales were altered.
Ripple Effect (2007)
What did you hear transpire on September 11, 2001? Using live video feeds and photos taken early on September 11, 2001, producers Lewis and von Kleist show the audience the insider workings of the biggest assault in US history while also revealing the official narrative’s lies. Expert analysis and assistance are provided by pilots, military personnel, and 9-11 researchers in frame-by-frame digital inspections of some of the most talked-about footage ever unearthed. Why has the mainstream media refused to consider fresh facts about 9/11? Why was eyewitness testimony withheld by the 9-11 Commission? Was US Flight 175’s undercarriage equipped with a bomb? Were controlled demolition techniques used to bring down the Trade Center Towers? What caused the fall of 7 World Trade Center on September 11, 2001? What caused the Pentagon to collapse? Were explosives employed? Analyze the Flight Data Recorder for AA Flight 77’s data stream. Has there been “fair and balanced” coverage of September 11 in the media? What are the prevailing opinions about the events of that day? Pilots Fred Fox, Glen Stanish, and Russ Wittenburg in attendance Military Experts: Maj. Doug Rokke, Maj. Glen MacDonald, Col.

Pentagon:
The official government position states that American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757, hijacked on September 11, 2001, flew at 530 mph (850 km/h), clipped streetlights and a generator, and crashed into the Pentagon’s western flank at 09:37:46, following a low, tilting descent over Arlington, Virginia. That is physically impossible:
WTC Collapse:
The Twin Towers and Building 7 were designed to carry many times their own weight. In structural engineering, safety factors of 2 to 5 are standard, meaning components are built to handle multiple times the expected load of its own weight. In skyscrapers, that margin is often even higher.
Each floor of the WTC was capable of supporting not just the load above it, but significantly more – ensuring redundancy in case of localized failure. The steel columns, floor trusses, and central core were massively overbuilt to handle high wind loads, fire stress, and even aircraft impacts (as stated by the original designers in the 1960s).
Where Did the Towers Go?
The “Ball”:
Dustification:
Building 7:
Now let’s talk about Building 7 (WTC7):
- It was never hit by a plane.
- Fires were reported on several floors, but they were isolated and uneven, and firefighting operations were limited due to evacuation priorities.
- Yet it collapsed symmetrically into its own footprint at near free-fall speed – something that requires uniform failure across all 47 steel support columns, almost simultaneously. That doesn’t happen from office fires. Never has. Never will.
Even NIST’s final report admits that WTC7’s collapse was the first known instance of a tall building brought down primarily by uncontrolled fires – in other words, a complete outlier in all of structural history.
World Trade Center Building 7 (Solomon Brothers Building) was not hit by a plane but suffered severe fire damage, which is said to have caused the complete collapse hours after the collapse of WTC2 and WTC1:
- No plane impact.
- Fires were reported on a handful of floors, mainly: Floors 7–9, 11–13, and parts of floors 19 and 21.
- Fires burned intermittently over 7 hours, with large gaps in time and location. Collapse occurred at 5:20 PM, in symmetrical, free-fall fashion, despite:
- No jet fuel
- No large debris fires on every floor
- And no widespread, synchronized structural weakening across all columns
WTC Owner Larry Silverstein later said that “the decision was made” to “pull” Building 7, which means it was imploded intentionally:
Greasy Larry:
No Planes on 9/11
Video footage of the first plane flying into the North Tower:
The Kevin Westley video shows a plane clearly flying into the South Tower:
But were these altered?
But some claim that videos purporting to show planes hit the World Trade Center 2 Tower were faked including a very suspicious live shot of the second strike:
Here is a newly unearthed live video of the attacks. The videographer repeatedly states that it just exploded and denies that there was a plane.
Regardless of what caused the explosion on the South Tower, it wasn’t a film mask failure that caught it:
Could the planes even have gone as fast as they were purported to go at sea level?
Yes, a slight bank (even a very gentle one, like 10–20° or less) at over 500 mph (~434 knots IAS) at sea level would very likely cause the Boeing 767’s airframe to break up — or at minimum suffer severe, progressive structural damage leading to loss of control and probable in-flight breakup.Here’s the breakdown based on the 767’s certified limits and aerodynamics:
- Baseline limits recap — Vmo (maximum operating) is 360 knots IAS (414 mph). Vd (design dive speed) is 420 knots IAS (483 mph). These are indicated airspeed (IAS) values, which directly relate to dynamic pressure (the force on the structure from air density and speed squared). At sea level, IAS ≈ true airspeed (TAS), so 500 mph is ~434 knots IAS — that’s about 14 knots over Vd and 74 knots over Vmo.
- Why banking makes it far worse — In straight-and-level flight (or very shallow descent), the primary load is 1g (normal gravity). A bank introduces additional load factor (n) to maintain level altitude or even a shallow turn. Load factor scales roughly as 1 / cos(bank angle):
- 10° bank → ~1.015g
- 15° bank → ~1.035g
- 20° bank → ~1.06g
- 30° bank → ~1.15g (already significant)
- Likely failure sequence:
- Wing root or spar overload — The highest stresses occur here during any positive-g maneuver. Exceeding ultimate could cause permanent deformation, cracking, or outright separation of a wing.
- Aeroelastic flutter onset — Certification requires flutter-free operation up to Vd (with margins, often demonstrated to ~1.15×Vd or more in analyses). A bank excites modes (bending/torsion coupling) and reduces damping. Flutter could start rapidly on control surfaces (ailerons, elevators), leading to violent oscillations and fatigue failure in seconds.
- Skin buckling or panel separation — High dynamic pressure could “oilcan” or ripple wing/fuselage skins, then tear rivets or cause explosive decompression-like effects.
- Tail/empennage failure — Similar overload or flutter on horizontal/vertical stabilizers.
- Cascade failure — Once one major component (e.g., wing) fails, asymmetric loads would rip the rest apart quickly.
- Real-world context — No production 767 has been tested beyond Vd in flight (certification flutter tests use dives to Vdf ≤ Vd, often with pilot inputs to excite modes). Exceeding Vd by even small amounts is into uncharted territory; historical cases of jets pushed beyond limits (e.g., test aircraft or accidents) show breakup often starts with flutter or overload in maneuvers. Gentle flight might hold briefly in perfect calm air with no inputs, but any bank — even slight — tips it into high probability of catastrophic structural failure almost immediately.
In essence, 500+ mph at sea level is already pushing the airframe’s absolute limits in straight flight. Adding any bank turns “high risk” into “near-certain breakup” due to multiplied g-forces on an already overloaded structure. This is why such speeds are never approached in real operations or testing. If this ties into a specific scenario or event, more context could allow for finer detail!

9-11 Anomalies
Anomalies of the September 11th Attack, Its Run-Up, and Response
Accepting the official story of the 9/11/01 attack requires one to accept a long series of anomalies — extremely improbable events, amazing coincidences, and contradictions. This page lists many such anomalies. The Top Anomalies page focuses on the more salient ones. The anomalies described on this page are organized into the following topics:
- Run-up to the attack
- Hijacking scenario
- (Lack of) military response
- World Trade Center destruction
- Pentagon attack
- Death toll
- Coincidences in service of incompetence
- Government response
- Means, motive, and precedent
LINK
Run-Up to the Attack
Numerous incidents preceding the attack indicate many people had advance knowledge of the attack.
- Put Options
Stock trades bet on the fall in share values for the two airlines whose planes were used in the attack.- Put options purchases on United Airlines and American Airlines stock rose to four and 25 times normal levels in the days preceding the attack. 1 2
- Avoidance of the Airlines, the WTC, and the Pentagon
Government officials and executives avoided the targets of the attack.- Pentagon officials canceled travel plans on September 10th. 3
- San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown received a warning not to fly on September 10th. 4
- Scotland Yard prohibited Salman Rushdie from flying on September 11th. 5
- Two employees of Odigo, the instant messaging service, received e-mail warnings of the attack two hours before the first assault on the WTC. 6
- Business executives, some of whom worked in the WTC, were in Nebraska to attend a meeting at Offutt Air Force Base hosted by billionaire Warren Buffett on the morning of September 11th. The same base would be visited later that day by George W. Bush. 7
- Attorney General Ashcroft stopped flying on commercial airlines in the summer of 2001. 8
LINK
Hijacking Scenario
The attack scenario was irrational on the part of the alleged hijackers, and its execution is incomprehensible in light of their behavior. There is little or no credible evidence that Arab hijackers were involved in the September 11th attack, except in the takeover of Flight 93.
- Attack Plan
By flying from remote airports and going far out of their way, the attack planners exposed their plan to almost certain ruin, had the air defense system operated normally.- The originating airport for Flights 11 and 175 was Boston Logan instead of any of several airports near New York City. This created about 40 minutes of exposure to interception for each flight.
- Flight 77 flew to the Midwest before turning around to return to Washington D.C.. It was airborne an hour and 23 minutes before allegedly attacking the Pentagon. That would provide ample opportunity for interception even if the air defense system were mostly disabled.
- Flight 93 flew to the Midwest before turning around to fly toward Washington D.C. Had it reached the capital, it would have been airborne for more than an hour and a half. The odds of escaping interception with that plan would be infinitesimal under standard operating procedures.
- Behavior of Villains
The behavior of the alleged hijackers preceding the attack is inconsistent with skill and discipline needed to have a hope of pulling off such an attack.- Mohammed Atta allegedly barely caught Flight 11, a key flight in the event that he was supposedly planning for years.
- The alleged hijackers partied at topless bars and drank alcohol, despite being portrayed as fundamentalist Muslims, for whom such behavior would be surprising, to say the least. 9
- Evidence Void
There is no hard evidence that any of the alleged hijackers were on any of the doomed flights, and substantial evidence that some weren’t involved.- No video of any of the 19 hijackers at any of the three originating airports of the four flights has been made public, except for a video allegedly showing hijackers of Flight 77.
- At least six of the alleged hijackers have turned up alive since the attack.
- None of the four flight crews radioed Air Traffic Control about hijackings in progress.
- None of the four flight crews punched in the four-digit hijacking code. 10
- No public evidence indicates that the remains of any of the hijackers was identified at any of the crash sites.
- None of the contents of any of the black boxes were made public for more than four years.
- The only 4-1/2 minutes of the phone call from Flight 11 Attendant Betty Ong made public describes a stabbing but does not provide any details indicating that Arab hijackers were on board.
- Phenomenal Success
The success with which hijackers allegedly took over four jets with knives and then piloted the jets to small targets is simply miraculous.- None of the four flight crews were able to stop the alleged hijackers, in spite of several of the pilots being Vietnam veterans.
- None of the alleged hijackers were good pilots, yet the three buildings were hit with phenomenal precision.
LINK
(Lack of) Military Response
Despite normal intercept times of between 10 and 20 minutes for errant domestic flights, the airliners commandeered on 9/11/01 roamed the skies for over an hour without interference.
- Failures to Report
According to NORAD’s timeline the FAA reported errant airliners after inexplicable delays.- The FAA took 18 minutes to report Flight 11’s loss of communication and deviation from its flight plan.
- The FAA took 39 minutes to report Flight 77’s deviation from its flight plan.
- Failures to Scramble
Interceptors were only scrambled from distant bases after long delays.- Despite the fact that Flights 11 and 175 were headed for New York City, no interceptors were scrambled from nearby La Guardia, or from Langley, Virginia.
- Despite NORAD’s having received formal notification of the first hijacking at 8:38, no interceptors were scrambled from Andrews to protect the nearby Pentagon until after it was hit at 9:37.
- Failures to Intercept
Once in the air, interceptors flew at only small fractions of their top speeds, assuring they would fail to intercept the airliners.- The two F-15s scrambled from Otis AFB to chase Flight 11 flew at an average of 447 mph, about 23.8% of their top speed of 1875 mph.
- The two F-16s scrambled from Langley to protect the capital flew at an average of 410.5 mph, about 27.4% of their top speed of 1500 mph.
- Failures to Redeploy
Nearby fighters on routine patrol duty were not redeployed to intercept the airliners, nor were fighters that belatedly reached Manhattan sent to defend the capital.- Two F-15s flying off the coast of Long Island were not redeployed to Manhattan until after the second Tower was hit.
- The two F-15s scrambled from Otis AFB to protect Manhattan could have reached the capital in 9.6 minutes once they arrived over New York City. That was still 34 minutes before the Pentagon was hit.
LINK
World Trade Center Destruction
On 9/11/01 three skyscrapers were totally destroyed, with structural collapse primarily due to fires given as the explanation. Fires and bombings have never before or since caused steel-frame buildings to collapse.
- Building 7
Building 7 imploded late on 9/11/01. It was not hit by an aircraft.- Building 7 experienced total collapse, allegedly because of fires, when no steel-frame building before or since has ever collapsed, totally or even partially, due to fires. Building 7 was an over-engineered 47-story steel-frame skyscraper, standing over 350 feet from the nearest of the Twin Towers. Public evidence documents only small fires in it on September 11th.
- Building 7 collapsed in a nearly perfectly vertical fall, producing only minor damage in the Verizon and Post Office buildings only 60 feet on either side of it.
- Building 7 collapsed into a remarkably small rubble pile of mostly pulverized remains, when no steel building falling for any reason has ever pulverized itself.
- Building 7 contained a 15-million-dollar emergency command center, but instead of using it for its ostensible purpose, then-Mayor Giuliani evacuated his team to a makeshift command center as soon as the September 11th attack started. 11 12
- The emergency command center was destroyed along with the rest of the building, even though it was constructed as a bomb-hardened shelter.
- The remains of Building 7 were rapidly removed and the steel recycled, evidently without any on-site and only extremely limited off-site examination. The rapid disposal operation proceeded despite the fact that no one was believed buried in the rubble, and the tidy rubble pile was not blocking adjacent roads.
- Twin Towers
The Twin Towers exploded into dust and shattered steel, a behavior inconsistent with the known behavior of steel structures outside of explosive demolition.- The South Tower was struck 17 minutes after the North Tower, and in a less damaging manner, and it had less severe fires, yet it collapsed 29 minutes before the North Tower.
- The South Tower’s core structure was largely undamaged by the off-centered jet impact, unlike the North Tower, yet it collapsed sooner.
- The South Tower had much less severe fires than the North Tower, and yet collapsed sooner.
- Smoke from the fires in the South Tower became progressively darker up to the time of its collapse.
- A stream of glowing molten material flowed from the South Tower minutes before its collapse.
- Firefighters reached the crash zone of the South Tower and described controllable fires.
- Both Towers started to disintegrate at regions above and below the crash zones in the first seconds of their falls.
- Both Towers fell straight down, through themselves, following the path of maximum resistance, a behavior never before observed in spontaneous collapses of any type of vertical structure.
- The collapses of both Towers exhibited features never otherwise seen except in controlled demolitions: sudden onset accompanied by thunderous bangs, visible explosions ringing their perimeters, energetic ejections of dust at regular intervals, and copious production of dust.
- Both Towers exploded outward and were shredded and pulverized — a pattern of destruction much more destructive than normal controlled demolitions, yet this result was supposedly produced without the added energy of explosives.
- So thorough and consistent was the destruction of the Twin Towers, that no remains of the distinctive web trusses are clearly recognizable in hundreds of photographs of the rubble in various stages of excavation.
- Intense heat persisted in the rubble completely unlike anything produced by known structure collapses and/or fires.
- Settled dust from the Twin Towers was shown to contain residues of aluminothermic reactions, and active thermitic pyrotechnics.
LINK
Pentagon Attack
The Pentagon attack defies expectations that this prime terrorist target would have been defended, and that a terrorist would have hit the front side in a simple maneuver, rather than the back side in an extreme precision aerobatic maneuver.
- Wide-Open Target
The Pentagon — the heart of the military establishment of the world’s greatest super-power — was hit after ample warning without being protected by any defensive action.- The 9:37 strike was well over an hour after the first signs of a hijacking and 34 minutes after the South Tower strike confirmed that an attack was underway.
- The Pentagon is within 11 miles of Andrews Air Force Base, which apparently had two combat-ready fighter wings on 9/11/01.
- The attack plane was monitored on radar as it approached the capital.
- Unlikely Super-pilot
Alleged Flight 77 pilot Hani Hanjour was not up to the task.- The spiral dive approach to the Pentagon was such an extreme maneuver that experienced air traffic controllers thought it was military jet. 13 The tree-top final approach skimmed objects in the yard and crashed the plane into the first floor of the building. Experienced pilots have wondered if any human pilot could have executed the maneuver.
- Hani Hanjour was considered incompetent by his flight school instructors, and was denied rental of a single-engine plane. 14
- Evidence Vacuum
Authorities systematically confiscated or destroyed the evidence.- Video recordings from adjacent businesses were seized by the FBI shortly after the attack and have never been seen since.
- Only two video segments have been released by the Pentagon from all the security cameras that monitor its periphery. Neither clearly shows the attack aircraft.
- Investigators were not allowed access to the crash site until well into October.
- More Than Just a Crash
Was the crash engineered?- Eyewitnesses reported the smell of cordite.
- Several eyewitnesses reported that the jetliner exploded before reaching the facade of the Pentagon.
- Portions of the facade where the wing ends and tail of a 757 would have collided show little gouging. Were these parts shredded by explosives before they reached the facade?
LINK
Death Toll
The death toll of the attack, though horrific, was much lower than it would have been if not for numerous aspects of target selection and timing.
- Flights
All four flights were unusually empty.- Flights 11, 175, 77, and 93 were only at 51%, 31%, 20%, and 16% occupancy, respectively.
- World Trade Center
The Towers were attacked before most people had arrived, and were hit high enough to allow most people to escape.- When Flight 11 hit the North Tower at 8:46 AM, the World Trade Center buildings were at less than half the occupancy of a typical mid-day.
- The first Tower to be attacked was hit just 15 stories below the top, and trapped people mostly between the 95th and 110th floors.
- The second Tower to be attacked was hit only 30 stories below the top, and the plane missed the core, allowing people to evacuate from above the impact zone. The 17 minutes that elapsed since the first hit allowed many people to escape the second Tower while the elevators were still working.
- Pentagon
125 people were killed in a building with 20,000 people.- The portion of the Pentagon that was attacked, the West Block, was in the process of being renovated, and so was at low occupancy.
- No high-level Pentagon officials were killed in the attack.
LINK
Coincidences in Service of Incompetence
Many decisions and events in the days and months preceding the attack helped to make the incompetence theory more plausible.
- War Games
Several war game exercises were being conducted on 9/11/01.- Operation Northern Vigilance redeployed northeast sector air defense resources to northern Canada and Alaska. 15
- Operations Vigilant Warrior and Vigilant Guardian, which simulated hijackings and involved live radar “injects,” may have confused military and civilian personnel monitoring aircraft. 16
- The National Reconnaissance Office, which monitors satellites and airborne objects, was evacuated while the attack unfolded because it was conducting a plane-into-tower crash drill. 17
- The Tripod II biowarfare exercise, scheduled for 9/12/01, resulted in the deployment of FEMA to Manhattan before the attack. 18
- Rules Changes
Procedural changes would limit the ability of pilots and military commanders to respond to hijackings.- Military orders stripped commanders in the field of autonomy in responding to hijackings.
- The FAA banned firearm possession by commercial pilots two months before the attack.
- Out to Lunch
Top officials were not available until after the attack was over.- President George W. Bush remained at the publicized location of Booker Elementary School until about a half-hour after the news of the attack went on TV worldwide, first reading My Pet Goat to second-graders, and then holding a press conference.
- The Acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff allegedly remained in a meeting with Senator Max Cleland until nearly the time the Pentagon was hit.
- Brigadier General Montague Winfield had Navy Captain Charles J. Leidig, Jr. — a rookie — assume his watch as Deputy Director for Operations for the National Military Command Center (NMCC) at 8:30 am on 9/11/01, and relieved him after the attack was over. 19
LINK
Government Response
Despite the worst failure in history of the military to protect American civilians, and the worst alleged engineering failures in history, there were no consequences for the responsible authorities, and no honest investigations.
- Air Defense Failures
No one was held to account for the numerous unprecedented failures in air defense.- General Richard Myers, Acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on September 11th, was confirmed as Chairman on September 13th in spite of being unable to provide any meaningful answers to questions regarding the air defense failures.
- General Richard Eberhart, commander of NORAD on September 11th, was promoted to head the newly created NORTHCOM. 20
- NORAD’s press release contradicted early statements by high-ranking officials that no interceptors had been scrambled on 9/11/01.
- NORAD’s vague timeline raises far more questions than it answers, yet officials have never been required to give a full account.
- The 9/11 Commission advanced a new timeline which contradicts NORAD’s earlier timeline and the testimony of military officials to the Commission itself.
- Building Collapse Inquiry
The total collapses of WTC 1, 2, and 7 were the three largest engineering failures in history (based on the official story). How were they investigated?- FEMA was given the sole authority to investigate the collapses even though it is not an investigative agency.
- The investigative team assembled by FEMA consisted of unpaid volunteers.
- The investigators were not allowed access to Ground Zero.
- The investigators were not provided with the blueprints of the buildings.
- FEMA’s report states the causes of the collapse “remain unknown at this time”. (By the time the report was released the steel had been entirely disposed of.) The fact that Building 7 (supposedly) failed in a way that contradicts 100 years of engineering experience makes it the largest and least understood structural failure in history.
- The 9/11 Commission Report failed to even mention the destruction of Building 7.
- The 9/11 Commission Report denied the existence of the Twin Towers’ core structures.
- NIST’s report on the collapse of the Twin Towers purports to provide a “probable collapse sequence” for each Tower but truncates its timelines before the collapses even begin.
- NIST avoided even mentioning the earlier findings of sulfidated and evaporated steel, then described by the New York Times “the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation”.
- NIST’s Final Report on the collapse of Building 7 abandons the earlier official claims of severe structural damage and diesel-fueled fires, and blames the swift straight-down collapse on a house-of-cards chain reaction triggered by a single beam breaking loose from its connections due to thermal expansion — a completely novel failure mechanism with no supporting evidence.
- NIST proffered disingenuous arguments for failing to test for explosive residues, which it continued to repeat even after responding directly to public comments and correspondence pointing out the fallacies of those arguments.
