9/11 Conspiracy by Sarah Ramirez


On 9/11/2001 The first hijacked plane crashed through the 94th to the 98th floors of the World Trade Center's 110-story North Tower; the second jet slammed into the 78th to the 84th floors of the 110-story South Tower. There was widespread damage throughout both buildings. The conspiracy questions are:
  1. Did the jet fuel burn so hot as to melt the structural integrity of both buildings?
            2. Were explosives placed within the structures of the two buildings to cause a pancake effect to collapse the Towers?

Let’s take a look at several conspiracy theories to find out the true facts of what really took place on that fateful day of 9/11.
       George H.W. Bush was a very considerate man. “George Bush was possibly the most kind and considerate person I have ever known in my life”. (Baker 1):
You name it he did it. And then he became vice president for eight years and then president of the United States. But throughout that entire period, he never forgot who he was. He never let it all get to his head. He was a man of great humility. He was humble. (Washington Post 1)
            Bush was not like your average president; he did things any average human would do. For example, he would give his dog a bath and go running in the mornings. Bush stayed in Washington for Christmas, so his bodyguards could go home to their families. He did not only think of himself, he also thought of his staff, friends, and family. He was always very kind to people.  He sent out thank you letters by the dozen. He helped middle class families.
In 2003 President Bush proposed and signed the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act. This legislation: Reduced the top tax rate on  dividends and capital gains to fifteen percent, accelerated income tax rate reductions. Accelerated the expansion of the ten percent bracket. Accelerated the increase of the child credit to one thousand dollars, accelerated the reduction in the marriage penalty, quadrupled small business expenses from $25,000.00 to $100,000.00, and increased bonus depreciation for businesses to fifty percent, through 2004. (Bush 1)
            Even before Bush became president, he was a wealthy man. His family’s wealth goes back generations: Even though the Bushes were wealthy, they were not flashy. They did not spend hundreds of dollars on one outfit: “George H.W. Bush’s wife, Barbara famously wore fake pearls and twenty-nine-dollar shoes to George H.W. Bush’s inaugural ball in 1989”. (Bush 1) Barbara and Bush had a net worth of $25,000,000. That is equal to $205,000,00, today.
The 41st president received only a modest inheritance, and once he was established in business, he did not use his family’s money. It was not until 1966, when he sold his interest in an oil drilling business before running  for congress, that he was considered wealthy. In 1988, the times estimated his net worth as two million dollars, and the newspaper attributed the majority of the increase in his assets to buying and selling houses when he and his family moved in. (Dangremond 1)
            Bush was also a very dedicated man. He spent most of his life in politics. He became a millionaire by the time he was forty years old:
Bush began his political career when he became the Republican Party chairman in Harris County, Texas. In 1964, Bush ran for a U.S. Senate seat against incumbent Democratic Senator Ralph Yarborough. In November, Democrat Lyndon Johnson of Texas was overwhelmingly elected President, and Yarborough defeated Bush by a margin of 1,463,958 to 1,134,337. In 1966, Bush ran for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, from Houston's Seventh district. Running as a moderate Republican, he won the election with more than fifty percent of the vote. He was reelected in 1968. (Miller 1)
            Bush started his career in politics at eighteen years old.  After being in politics for about thirty years, he left office. His determination paid off; he had several accomplishments to show for his career.
First conspiracy was; there was no way that the jets that flew into the towers could have caused the wide spread damage that was 80 stories below! This was claimed by the San Diego 
Independent Media Center website. They claimed on their website that it was obvious and 
irrefutable that other explosives. Such as concussion bombs were detonated in the lower levels of 
tower one at the same time of the crash. According to a FEMA major study was released in the 
spring of 2005. The jet fuel was quite hard to document as it traveled down the elevator shafts 
and when doors opened, flames bursted out and killed many people. Jules and Gedeon Naudet 
gave a similar observation testimony when they arrived at tower one and entered as the jet hit 
and witnessed people that were on fire and found that the scene was too horrific to film.
The second conspiracy was the “melted steel effect”. My sources stated that Americans were lied to. “The first lie was that the load of fuel from the aircraft was the cause of the structural failure”. (History 1).
There is a truth that no kerosene fire can burn hot enough to melt steel. 
Some experts state that the frames didn’t need to melt but only lose structural strength to be hot 
enough to collapse. New York deputy fire chief Vincent Dunnstated that “he never has seen 
steel melt by extreme heat, that he only witnessed twisted, warped, bent and sagging steel 
according to his expertise and experience”. (Patti 1)Fact: Jet fuel burns 800 to 1500 degrees F. To melt steel it must be hotter at a temperature of 2750 degrees F.

The third conspiracy theory was the “puff of dust” that was caused by explosions not the plane 
crashes. As for, a mere plane crash couldn’t cause a puff of dust and debris. The plane crash 
would only cause some of the structural damage. Not a whole entire 104 story building to 
collapse to ground zero without the help of some sort of destructive device such as an explosive. I believe the building had some sort of preparation with some sort of bombs, or flammable 
substance that caused the building to not only explode but be engulfed in flames and fall 104 
Stories to ground zero, as it is today.

In conclusion all three theories are very highly validated and have had a lot of time and thought process put into the work. In my survey the highest voted theory appears to be the explosive theory. The theory has a really great argument and provides exceptional evidence in how the building collapses, I personally believe in this theory also. There is no possible way through the laws of chemistry and physics that a single commercial airline plane could cause a titanic skyscraper to collapse to nothing but ash, dust, and debris. More than half of the COM student body I asked believes this theory, that there were bombs that went off in the skyscraper. More importantly, More than half of the student body believes that the U.S. Federal Government had involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York City. Do the theories that are provided to the public expose the truth and the government blames it on a terrorist group? Or was it really 
just a normal day in there U.S. unexpectedly turned upside down by a terrorist attack that the government was unaware of. Well if that’s what they want us to believe.
