A Perspective on 9/11 Complicity: The Case for a New Investigation.
On September 11, 2001, the world witnessed an unprecedented attack on the United States, leading to the tragic loss of nearly 3,000 lives. The official explanation provided by the U.S. government has been widely accepted; however, a significant number of individuals, including 9/11 family members, engineers, architects, and other experts, have raised questions about the official narrative. The 9/11 truth movement argues that the events of that day were not solely the result of a failure to prevent a terrorist attack but rather a more complex scenario involving possible complicity or cover-up by elements within the U.S. government. Below, key points supporting this perspective are summarized.
WTC 7: A Building Collapse That Defies Explanation
World Trade Center 7 (WTC 7) is often referred to as the "smoking gun" of 9/11. Unlike the Twin Towers, WTC 7 was not struck by a plane, yet it collapsed symmetrically into its own footprint at near free-fall speed in the late afternoon of September 11th. The official explanation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) attributes the collapse to office fires, but this conclusion has been heavily criticized.
In 2020, a study conducted by Dr. Leroy Hulsey, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, challenged the NIST report. Dr. Hulsey’s team concluded that the collapse of WTC 7 could not have occurred due to fire alone. The study found that the building's collapse exhibited characteristics of a controlled demolition, a view further supported by physicist David Chandler, who demonstrated that WTC 7 fell at free-fall speed for approximately 2.25 seconds. This evidence suggests that the official account cannot fully explain the collapse, leading many to call for a new investigation.
