Building 7: the smoking gun of 9/11

Fires weren’t enough to bring down Building 7.

Shortly before 5 p.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, BBC World reporter Jane Standley told a TV audience that World Trade Center Building 7 had just collapsed, the third WTC building to fall that day as the result of supposed terrorist attacks.
The problem was that the 47-storey office tower was still clearly visible over her left shoulder during the entire live report. Roughly 23 minutes after this “mistake” the building actually did fall. How did the BBC know this would happen? Where did the premature report of the destruction of the building come from?
While the BBC has claimed that it was simply an error, they have made no effort to provide the public with the source of their information (Standley says she doesn’t remember what she said on camera). It is also interesting that Standley’s video feed broke up at around 5:14 p.m., sparing us the site of the Continue reading →

A major attack had taken place on U.S. soil for the first time since the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and Americans were in shock.
They now had to come to terms with a world in which terror and death were no longer things you watched on TV. Now you could see them first hand, right in the heart of their largest and most iconic city. For the first time they could imagine a Continue reading →

Shining a light into dark corners: conspiracies, mysteries, injustices

I’ve always been fascinated by things that are unknown. The more unknowable something is, the more I want to know it.
For me it comes down to believing that some questions need answers. Or at least they need people to want the answers. I have this idea – admittedly unrealistic – that everyone should be driven to understand the same things as I am. And it frustrates me when they aren’t! Does that make me passionate about finding the truth or just a control freak? Or both…
There are always going to be questions that are fun to think about, but which won’t be resolved any time soon – if at all. Things like: ‘Is there life on other planets?’ or ‘Did highly advanced civilizations exist on Continue reading →
