An Investigative Resource

Welcome.

This website provides a detailed, concise visual record of events at the World Trade Center on 9-11-01, representing the best log of real events and movements of WTC 1, WTC 2 and WTC 7 available in the public domain.

All known publicly available video and photographs are examined using a variety of tools and all notable or suspicious events are documented. A collection of these events for each building is then compiled and written as time-ordered lists of features.


The collective body of these features and observations, which are documented directly from the visual record, is listed down the left side of this page.


This website contains:

  • The only visual reconstruction of the collapses of WTC1 and 2, identifying the most probable collapse progression mechanisms of each tower.

  • The only accurate, detailed mapping of the earliest movement of each building available. The detailed reconstruction of the moments leading up to and of collapse initiation of each building is used to fact-check claims made by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) within their official reports on the collapses and claims made by other organizations and individuals.

  • Detailed criticism of the official reports on WTC1, 2 and WTC7 by the NIST, showing that claims made within the reports on all 3 buildings directly contradict what can be verified through the visual record.

  • Links to libraries of the largest and most complete collections of video and photographic evidence of the attacks, collapses and resulting debris available to the public.

  • The most accurate review of academic papers on the collapses available.




Why preserve an independent, detailed visual record of the events at the World Trade Center complex on 9-11-01?

Without an accurate and detailed visual record of what really happened, there is no way to independently verify the truth of any claim made by official sources or non-official sources.

Multiple contradictory events occurred during the collapses of all 3 buildings at the World Trade Center Complex on 9/11/01.

Re-examination of the complete visual record is the only way to distinguish between false claims and the true events. Without such re-examination, any false claims can be made by any party for any reason, and the average person, now or in the future, would have no way of knowing or verifying what actually happened free from bias.

For this reason the visual record should be re-constructed and re-examined as completely as possible. It should be preserved so that historians and future generations which are affected by the events of 9/11/01 can fact-check what they have been told told independently, free from the bias of governments or groups with their own personal motivations and interpretations.

The Official Descriptions and Explanations of Each Collapse Are Verifiably Untrue


Preservation and re-construction of the complete visual record is all the more essential because by doing so, anyone can verify that the explanations of each collapse offered so far are verifiably untrue.

The final reports on each collapse provided by U.S. Government agencies, particularly by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), contain verifiably gross errors. These errors can be confirmed by comparing claims made within each report with the extant visual record. Moreover, no government agency or academic body acknowledges or even seems to recognize that these gross errors exist.

Such gross errors are easily spotted once the visual record of events are re-assembled and re-viewed. It is not just that such gross errors exist that is surprising, but that they have gone unnoticed in the years since the reports were written.


This website presents a large body of original research unavailable anywhere else


This website lists about 60 distinct features of the collapses of WTC1, 2 and 7, many of which were not noticed or documented in any official report or by any other researcher.


Many of these observations directly contradict what is claimed in official reports by the NIST, the stated objective of which is to explain how and why the buildings collapsed.


Menus to the left of this page provide the most detailed, time-ordered lists of documented events available in the public domain.




This website provides the most complete mapping of the actual WTC twin tower collapse dynamics available



The World Trade Center Twin Towers Collapse Dynamics shows that the complete collapse mechanics of each tower can be written as a combination of two types of motion:

1) Uneven ROOSD: ROOSD is described in the OOS Propagation Model

2) Dropping of 4 perimeter walls




The website is written in a way that discourages blind belief in any authoritative source, no matter how paternal, while encouraging sincere fact-checking by re-examination of direct visual evidence.

All observed features are presented in a way that the reader has ample opportunity to verify all information for themselves.

All observations and measurements should be reproducible and testable by any capable person or organization. Links are provided to all source video from which measurements were taken, so any capable reader can directly cross-check results.

The author of this website compiles independent research by independent researchers

This website brings together the work of a number of independent researchers who actively share their own discoveries and observations.

There is no common underlying philosophy or group organization among these researchers.

No researcher has given the author permission speak on their behalf. Views expressed in this website are those of the author only and don't necessarily reflect opinions held any researcher whose work is presented.

When posting the work of another researcher, care is taken to present information according to the wishes of that researcher, in which case the author only acts as an editor and reviewer.


Credit for research

Many of the observations and features presented are not original discoveries by the author of this website.

Object tracking and sub-pixel measuring techniques are applied by 3 researchers independently of each other. Credits for various graphic images and measurements presented are often expressed by providing links back to the original forum posts from which the ideas evolved.

Most all gif animations and video were created by others who deserve much thanks.

This work relies heavily on some of the regular posting members of The 9/11 Forum, without whom this body of information wouldn't exist.
