Seismic Signals Reveal Explosives Were Used at the WTC on 9/11, according to geophysicist André Rousseau (*)

Doctor André Rousseau, former researcher in geophysics at CNRS and specialist in sound waves, presents us with the results of his analysis of the seismic signals recorded on September 11, 2001 in New York and gives his point of view as a specialist on the question of the destruction of the three towers at the World Trade Center.

[Translated from the original French by SOTT.net]

Seismic signals were recorded on September 11 2001 during the period when the North and South Towers (respectively WTC1 and WTC2) were penetrated and collapsed, as well as during the collapse of Building 7 of the WTC (also known as WTC7), a building which had not been hit by a plane.

Among the seismic data published on this subject, it is the Palisades recording station, located 34 km north-east of Manhattan, which gives us the data most apt for analysis, particularly for determining their source. These wave graphs are taken from the publications of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (LDEO), as shown in figure 1 and figure 2.

Seismologists are puzzled in their analysis of signals recorded at this time, as the contradictions are significant. They are particularly intrigued by the presence of seismic “peaks” before the collapses (see figure 4). This text focuses on the study of seismic signals and aims to demonstrate that consistency only appears once we leave the official version of events. It gives rise to a new interpretation that renders the assertions of the “official version” null and void.

Study of the Composition of the Different Wave Graphs

The graphs that we have are the following:

1. The signals in figures 1a & 1b match the moment when the planes hit WTC1 and WTC2 respectively.
2. The signals in figures 2a and 2b match the collapsing of WTC1 and WTC2 respectively.
3. The signal in figure 2e shows the collapse of WTC7.

Determination/indetermination of the Temporal Shocks from the Point of Origin of the Signals.

In the five examples, the origin of the signals was attributed, by the seismologists who published the data, to the impacts of the planes and the collapses of the buildings (Kim et al., 2001; Irvine, 2001; Hoffman, 2006). A study of the propagation of such seismic signals really belongs to applied geophysics, which examines the distance of propagation in relation to the nature of the sources. Normally in this type of study, the time of origin is known with great precision (down to the millisecond), necessary in order to calculate the propagation speed of the different waves. That isn’t the case here. In this case, the video used for the North Tower (WTC1) was from a recording made by CNN with a time stamp on the screen (Hoffman, 2006), and the results were compared with the method utilized by Lamont (Kim et al., 2001). A second method consisted of giving an approximate speed of 2km/s for a Rayleigh wave that traversed several stations (see figure 3) situated at various distances from the point of origin. The major inconvenience of this method is that the stations are not situated on a rectilinear line, that the surface terrain – in which the surface waves move – are different, and, moreover, they don’t have the same speed of propagation. The Hudson River is located on a fault line that separates to the west the sedimentary terrains of the Trias and Jurassic, with intrusions of dolerite, all of which are covered by recent Holocene sediment; and to the east, the crystalline and metamorphic formations of the Proterozoic, the Cambrian, and the Ordovician eras that are found there. These last formations are more rapid than those found to the west, which explains why the path WTC-MANY, the only site to the east of the Hudson, was more rapid than all the other paths, situated to the west. The speed of these formations closely depend upon the sedimentary cover traversed. In other words, it isn’t surprising to find that only the stations at Palisades (34 km), at Arny (67.5 km) and TBR (51 km) provide similar results because they are situated on similar geological formations. Also, the enormous indetermination of 2 seconds in the calculations fixing the time origin of each of the signals, attributed by the authors themselves (Kim et al.), oblige us to take some distance from the official conclusions.

Wave Graphs Attributed to the Planes Crashing Into the Towers

In the first place, we must pose a question about the meaning of such signals’ function with the cause attributed to them.

Eight and a half years after 9-11, we are finally able to view the photos taken by a photographer in a New York City Police Department helicopter hovering over the scene of the crime.  Why has it taken so long for these photos of the crime of the century to be released?  What do these newly released photos tell us?

There is certainly a great deal of evidence contained in these hundreds of photographs, which will take some time to analyze, but one thing is very clear.  The Twin Towers were turned into dust.  The concrete and steel frame towers were reduced to immense clouds of dust and this was not caused by the potential energy of the buildings being released as they fell.  The towers were pulverized through the use of many tons of super-thermite, which was discovered in the dust by Professor Steven E. Jones.  Looking at these photos, one can see that the towers were exploded and turned into dust in the same instant.  The photos validate the thesis, now proven, that the Twin Towers – and the lives within them – were destroyed by demolition charges and tons of super-thermite which had been applied to the concrete floors, probably on the undersides of the floor pans.

Links to my articles on the evidence of super-thermite in the dust of the World Trade Center are found at the bottom of this post.

Infowars

Last October members of We Are Change Chicago and We Are Change Ohio attended a signing by Byron Pitts of 60 Minutes who was promoting his new book Step Out On Nothing. He was also at Ground Zero on 9/11/01 where he covered the destruction of all three World Trade Center buildings. He won an Emmy for his reporting on 9/11 day so we thought who better to ask about the mystery of WTC 7 then Byron Pitts.

by Dwain Deets, AE911Truth

As the number of verified architect and engineer petitioners at AE911Truth passes 1,000, the number describing themselves as aerospace engineers, or as engineers who have contributed professionally to the aerospace field, exceed sixty. These sixty-plus engineers were motivated to place their names on the public record as a matter of professional and social responsibility. While the skills necessary to conduct professional forensic analysis of destroyed buildings is largely distinct from those experienced in aerospace engineering, the basic physical laws involved in an analysis of the speed, symmetry, and energy input/output balance of the World Trade Center’s destruction involve only high school physics and chemistry, some lookups regarding the energy necessary to crush concrete, and basic arithmetic.

Here is a listing of these sixty-plus aerospace engineers, together with brief bios and their statements made at the time they signed: The engineers are listed alphabetically, grouped with those having full careers in aerospace listed first, and those with less than 30 years in aerospace listed second.

Hangar 17, Post 9/11

Having viewed Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory documentary episode dealing with the Sept. 11 attacks, I would like to call your attention to a detail that the research team may have overlooked, namely the proprietorship of Hangar 17, where the only known 9/11 evidence still in existence is locked away from public scrutiny.

When viewed from a certain angle, Hangar 17 in JFK airport has a prominent, unfaded billboard that says “ Tower Air ”. Tower Airlines was an * Israeli * airline that went bankrupt in 2000 . None other than Hangar 17 housed Tower Air’s then brand-new corporate headquarters.

Why does 9/11 evidentiary material that would provide clues such as the absence or presence of Super Thermite or other explosive material in the dust from the blasts sit for “safekeeping” in the former Executive Headquarters of a ten-year-defunct Israeli front organization that contracted heavily for the U.S. Defense Department and still has an unfaded sign hanging on the building?

Mike Ruppert reported that the Israeli container and freight-shipping corporation Zim , who occupied several floors in the Twin Towers and is widely known to do extensive operational support work for the Mossad, vacated all their offices days before the attacks – and they vacated in violation of their lease.

As excellent as Jesse Ventura’s exposé is, Wikipedia openly identifies Tower as an American airline, controlled, however, by Israelis – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_Air . ): “Major artifacts from the World Trade Center are housed for safekeeping in the former Tower Air Hangar 17 at John F. Kennedy International Airport.”

As a matter of fact, while posing as a dinky, small-time Israeli airline that played second-fiddle to El-Al by catering mainly to Israel-New York Orthodox Jewish air traffic (dubbed affectionately by their clientèle ” ChassidicAir ” – Tower even printed and distributed booklets on the arcane Halachic aspects of how to face Jerusalem during the uninterruptible Standing Prayer on New York-bound flights should the “Fasten Seat Belts” sign start flashing during turbulence), Tower Air won several exclusive major contracts from the United States Department of Defense to transport U.S. armed forces personnel to overseas locations. Tower was the second largest troop carrier during the first Persian Gulf War, flying U.S. troops and cargo in 300 sorties.

In 1993, Tower kept busy flying U.S. military personnel and cargo to support operations in Somalia. It was the first airline to fly troops into Mogadishu and also transported refugees for the United Nations during the conflict. The pattern in my mind that caused the Tower Air sign in Conspiracy Theory to jump out at me like a red flag upon seeing it was established in the late ’80’s and early ’90’s, when, in my capacity as the Diplomatic Project Director for the Federation for American Afghan Action, I identified one of the many facets of Israeli involvement in the Iran-Contra Affair, and exposed a U.S./Israeli front organization that was operationally similar to Tower Air in many respects. It was (and is, as far as I’m aware) called the Intergraph Corporation , which served as the diversion pipeline mechanism to Iran for SuperHawk spare parts from allied military installations in Western Europe through Israel to Iran, rendering entire U.S.and NATO ground-to-air missile defense umbrellas inoperative and vulnerable. I personally saw Intergraph shipments in Ben Gurion Airport’s Mamman Hangar building while investigating the matter in collaboration with a former Westinghouse employee who was fired and subsequently victimized in a campaign to destroy his livelihood and several murder attempts, similar to the campaigns that have been and are currently being waged against me.

Eleven years ago, during Netanyahu’s first tenure as Israel’s Prime Minister, my Report on the Acquiescence of the Israeli Government in Palestinian Authority First Strike in Judea and Samaria (published as Policy Paper #107 by the Ariel Center for Policy Research) made it to the desk of the Israeli Minister of Defense (one may Google the report), whose office contacted me for an “interview”, and since then I have learned a double lesson: how brittle are the evil policies of betrayal and abandonment when smashed by the light of public exposure and indignation, and how no brutality will be considered too low to commit for a government functionary who has been faced with a choice between loyalty to a principle of human values, ethics, or morals on the one hand, and loyalty to a source of power on the other – and has chosen the latter. Every action he will subsequently make will be dedicated to suppression and cover-up of his convoluted covert agendas, even if it means condemning inconvenient innocents to suffering or death. I was targeted in a murder attempt by the Israeli government (a police car rammed me as I was waiting at a red light; no less than six ambulances were pre-positioned at the scene and evacuated bystanders who suffered minor injuries while leaving me in my totaled car at the scene); while thank God the attempt at my life was unsuccessful, I did sustain among other things spinal damage and a fractured pelvis that has rendered me crippled until this day, and for the past six years witnessed a craftily orchestrated campaign to destroy my twenty-year-marriage and once beautiful family with six children whom I am currently in the midst of battling for with Israel’s own version of Child Protective Services. And woe to the man who does not have the money to either heal or defend himself against the vengeance of the wicked ones of this world.

There are several more parallels and similarities to Hangar 17 that demonstrate just how far, and with what determined desperation the power-hungry Hollow People In Power are willing to go to topple the walls of civilization. In a global society that has become careless of justice, a materialist civilization that daily grows more and more insecure and panicky as awareness begins to seep through that they are standing over an abyss, the bourgeois barbarians and morally castrated scumbags will never acknowledge defeat or concede the only imperative that holds for them any relevance: their appetite to concentrate and maintain power. Our obligation – those of us who have fought to retain enough of our souls to sense the impending tragedy – is to continue our struggle against the extinction of the idea of mission. Our mission – recalling that simplest of truths for which the Founding Fathers battled tyranny to establish our nation, that there are things more precious than life, and more horrible than death – is to establish a formal political mechanism to achieve and express a consensus based upon that “simple truth” of life and death so that those who seek to trample that line may no longer be remotely comfortable in the ease with which they swindle us into accepting their tyrannical objectives.
