9/11 'Truthers' uncovering disturbing anomalies
By Geoff Olson
They're "nutcases" to Vancouver writer Terry Glavin, "gibbering idiots" to British author and Guardian columnist George Monbiot, and "conspiracy nuts" to U.S. political writer Alexander Cockburn. They're promoting "crap," says David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation. They're trafficking in "pure fantasy" that is "rotting peoples brains," says Canadian military analyst and author Gwynne Dyer.
They're opponents of the Bush administration who reject the official story on 9/11. And their most vocal critics hail not from the right, but from North America's progressive left. Ignored by mainstream media, and vilified by the alternative press, the so-called "9/11 Truth movement" probably wouldn't exist without the Internet. A huge online presence, with thousands of blogs and websites, has inspired the creation of films, DVDs and the organization of international conferences. The movement has chapters across North America, including in Vancouver. ...
Of all the anomalies they cite, 9/11 activists believe they've found their Rosetta Stone in Building Number 7 of the World Trade Center complex, which collapsed hours after the twin towers came down. Michael Hey, secretary for the Vancouver 9/11 Truth Society, writes by email that there was a "sudden and total disintegration, symmetrical, at a speed of near free-fall_ to date we know of only one way to achieve this effect, and it does not involve flying airplanes into buildings." He adds, "Of course, no airplane actually hit World Trade Center 7."
"Hundreds of physicists, architects and structural engineers have spoken out about the fact that the official explanation simply defies the laws of physics." One of them is Professor Steven Jones, a retired professor of physics at Brigham Young University, and a guest speaker at the Vancouver conference. continued →
