Tragic Events of 9/11/2001

TRAGIC EVENTS OF 9/11/2001

I am reminded of the tragic events of 09/11/2001.  At that time I was still installing interior landscapes with Silkscapes, Inc (see the About Page). In fact I was in the World Trade Center Lobby the day before checking on some displays we were installing over the 41 revolving doors located in Towers 1&2. As a matter of fact I just picked up a signed, very lucrative contract with a building on Maiden Lane to install 17 giant artificial Ficus Trees in their lobby.  As you might have guessed that contract became toilet paper as the National Guard took up residence in that lobby after the events of the next day. When the events of 9/11 unfolded the next day and almost 3,000 innocent people lost their lives, I am still confused about who was really responsible for this unspeakable tragedy.  As we all know the events at the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and the Crash of a Passenger Jet in a Pennsylvania Field were all related, so any discrepency in any of the events means ALL event details are put into question.  

Today I was reading an article by Jim Willie of the GoldenJackass.com discussing the gold price and the events that have caused it to CLOSE for the first time over the $1,000 level.  He made a quick aside to his article as he soo must have been thinking about 9/11 on this the 8th anniversary. I would like to share this paragraph with you.

The last command for Major General Albert Stubblebine was head of all Army Strategic Intelligence worldwide. Note his comments about the ridiculous story of an commercial aircraft hitting the Pentagon, a story he mocks openly. Stubblebine disputes by simply pointing out that the 5000-lb engines would have left a very very big mark on the Pentagon building facades, something that remarkably receives little discussion. No such aircraft impact happened, since a missile hit the Pentagon. Just try to imagine a jetplane that evaporated and incinerated without any debris, an utterly absurd tale. Imagine an advanced metal alloy fuselage incinerated and vaporized, even hundreds of seats turned to dust while strewn. Let’s all hail the first airline crash in modern history without any debris! It is a miracle! The retired Stubblebine should be careful, but he must know the risks. This entire story is an insult to our intelligence. See the YouTube video clip (CLICK HERE). The tale told for the World Trade Center exploits the ignorance of Americans, who largely failed physics and chemistry in high school. See gravity (11 seconds for demolition freefall, not a pancake staged collapse). See chemistry (jet fuel burns 2000 degrees too low to melt structural steel). Next resort to Aesop Fables (third WTC building fell after saddened by the collapse of its two big brothers). 

This indeed is a very dark chapter in the history of this nation and it is my hope that one day the truth will be told and the parties responsible are brought to justice.

My prayers also go out to the 343 Brave Firefighters who lost their lives.
