9/11: THE SIMPLE FACTS
ARTHUR NAIMAN ET AL.
WHY THE OFFICIAL STORY CAN’T POSSIBLY BE TRUE
Books on 9/11 tend to get dismissed as “conspiracy theories” but
that won’t work with this one, because it contains no theories at all
about who did what. It simply focuses on flaws in the official version
of what happened.
It begins by listing fourteen clearly observable facts about the
collapse of the World Trade Center buildings that the official story
can’t explain, then gives a simple explanation that accounts for all of
them. It asks:
- Why has no other skyscraper ever collapsed from being hit
by airplanes or from fires, even when engulfed by flames
that raged for seventeen or eighteen hours? - How could the Twin Towers fall so evenly and so fast,
straight down through 160,000 tons of structural steel? - How could the smaller, lighter floors above where the
planes hit completely destroy the much heavier, stronger
and completely undamaged floors below? - For that matter, how could the top of the South Tower
crush the floors below it if it began its fall toppling off
them at an angle of 22°? (If this was a gravitational
collapse, they’re going to have to rewrite the laws of
gravity.)
Questions like these—and there are hundreds of them—have
convinced more than 1500 architects and engineers, with 25,000
years of professional experience, as well as senior governmental
officials, intelligence and military officers, pilots, firefighters,
scholars, 9/ 11 survivors and relatives, broadcasters, reporters,
authors and tens of thousands of others, to demand a new, thorough,
independent investigation. Read this book and you’ll probably join
them.
