Calgary Debunker Debates Truthers

Theories? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Theories!

Excerpt from the updated BBC The Conspiracy Files, 9/11 - The Truth Behind The Third Tower program. Truthers don’t need a plausible theory or a coherent narrative of what happened on 9/11/01 because they’re “just asking questions” and, according to Dylan Avery, they don’t want to be “backed into a corner.”

Cooking With Willie & Rosie

Rosie O'Donnell and Willie Rodriguez recorded on 9/11/08, apparently in Rosie’s kitchen. Rosie looks awful and Willie’s main compliant is, “Why am I not more famous?” Plus some kvetching from Rosie about lack of media face time for Willie. (From Rosie’s Blog).

Bonus: Attention Whore Willie “I Am 9/11” Rodriguez exploits the death of Kenny Johannemann (another WTC janitor who committed suicide recently) and disses Richard Gage and Nico Haupt and threatens yet again to "leave" the 9/11 Truth Movement. Mp3 audio.

The 9/11 Hotel

Seven years after 9/11, this powerful documentary brings a fresh angle on the terrorist attack. It reveals the extraordinary stories of the people trapped in the 22-storey Marriott World Trade Center Hotel, which nestled beneath the twin towers. Up until now, these stories of luck, sadness, bravery and heroism have rarely been reported; this impressive program more than compensates.

The Marriot was one of New York's busiest hotels. At 8.45am on 11 September 2001, the hotel was at full capacity, with more than 1,000 people staying in its 825 rooms. While guests were finishing their breakfasts, working out in the gym or relaxing in the luxury pool, the hotel's tranquil environment was shattered by the roar of jet engines and the horror of falling and burning debris.

Initially it wasn't clear to hotel guests exactly what had happened. Some, unable to see the full extent of the carnage way above the hotel, assumed it was minor incident and that the emergency services would soon have things under control. In fact one American lawyer was so busy, preparing for an impending trial, that he stayed in his room.

By the time the second plane hit the South Tower at 9.03am, many hotel guests had managed to escape, but as the fires continued to burn out of control and the towers came crashing down, some guests and staff became trapped. Miraculously, 14 survived.

This documentary meets some of the survivors. They include a British family on holiday; a hotel receptionist and part-time actress whose actions would later turn her into an American hero, and the lawyer who ignored the commotion and his fire-fighter rescuer.

The program builds well, using archive footage and interviews with the survivors to build a harrowing picture of what it was like in the Marriot during 9/11. And it also reveals the part that a previous terrorist attack had to play in this extraordinary story.

The Collaspe Of WTC7: Why The Building Fell

The National Institute of Standards and Technology released the findings and recommendations from its building and fire safety investigation of the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7).

Read MoreThe National Institute of Standards and Technology released the findings and recommendations from its building and fire safety investigation of the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7). WTC 7 was a 47-story building that fell nearly seven hours after the World Trade Center towers collapsed following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The report presents the probable collapse sequence for the building and provides recommendations for improving building and fire safety in other buildings similar to WTC 7. Mr. Sivaraj Shyam-Sunder, the lead investigator for the federal building and fire safety investigation of the World Trade Center disaster, presented the report and responded to questions from the reporters in the audience.

PSA Flight 1771: Eerily Similar To Shanksville

Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771 was a commercial flight that crashed in San Luis Obispo County, California, on December 7, 1987. All 43 people on board the aircraft died, including the man who caused the crash, a disgruntled former employee of USAir, the parent company of PSA.

The cash site was eerily similar to the Shanksville, Pennsylvania, crash site of United Airlines Flight 93 on 9/11/2001. Like Flight 93, PSA 1771 crashed at high speed after a steep dive leaving an impact crater in the ground and the plane disintegrated in small pieces scattering light weight debris (including vital clues to the cause of the crash) up to eight miles from the crash site.

First responder Detective Bill Wammock of the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office from the video: “Nothing that resembled an airliner... we went on for hours, before we heard the news reports of a missing airliner, believing that we were dealing with a small airplane full of newspapers that had crashed. We saw no pieces of the aircraft that were larger than, maybe, a human hand. It did not look like a passenger aircraft.”

Morning Bombs For A Late Afternoon Demolition?

This video raises a point I haven’t thought of before: Why would the evil 9/11 conspirators set off bombs in WTC7 in the morning for a demolition that happened in the late afternoon? (Not that conspiracy theories have to make any sense.) There’s also a good quote from FDNY Chief Nigro and an interesting sound clip from the Democracy Now broadcast of 9/11/01.

Don't Give Up Your Day Job

The song stylings of Jason Calacanis aka Kid Mercury. This little ditty is called Stop Lying About 9/11. I found this at Musicians For 9/11 Truth which you can precede to at your own risk. (Don't say you weren't warned.) Wasn't some of that protest music back in the 1960s actually.... good?

Luke Rudkowski/Nico Haupt Double Feature!

Since it was too hot to go outside today, I whipped up two video edits in a comedy vein. It's a Luke Rudkowski of We Are Cry Babies NYC double bill featuring the transgressive humor of the one and only Nico Haupt. Enjoy! (Promotional consideration by the Millennium Hilton overlooking Ground Zero in lower Manhattan.)

First up is Attack of the Nico Beast. As Count Floyd of SCTV's Monster Chiller Horror Theater would say, "It's scary stuff!"



Our second feature is I Didn't Insult That Lady (you can skip to the punch line beginning at the 7:57 mark if you're so inclined).

Note:
The videos are presented in reverse chronological order. The “mustache incident” in the first video took place at Ground Zero in May of 2008 and the legal document being brandished is a restraining order taken out after NICO’s “insult” to Luke’s lady in the second video, the events of which happened in January 2008.
