Painful Questions: An Analysis of the September 11th Attack [Paperback]

Eric Hufschmid (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 2002

This book has the colour photographs, diagrams, and the analysis to show that the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 were demolished with explosives that were placed in the buildings in preparation for the 9-11 attack. This book is being used by people around the world to support the accusation that the US Government was the primary conspirator in the 9-11 attack. For two examples, David Ray Griffin references it in his book 'The New Pearl Harbor', and Andreas von Bulow, a retired German government official, is referencing it in his book published in Germany. If you believe Osama bin Laden attacked us without our government's assistance, why not find the flaws in this book, put these accusations to rest, and help restore America's credibility? If you already believe the attack was conducted by the US government, this book will help you educate your fellow citizens on the unbelievable corruption in our world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flaming elevator shafts, July 25, 2004

By 

Black Kaweah (The invisible Gulag) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Painful Questions: An Analysis of the September 11th Attack (Paperback)

Even the ASCE/FEMA report accepts that essentially all the fuel was consumed in the initial fireballs and the subsequent 5-7 minutes of fire. The idea that the relatively small amount of jet fuel (kerosene) that might make it into some of the elevator shafts, absent any decent source of oxygen (remember that the elevator doors default to a closed position and were additionally protected by fire shutters precisely to prevent air from entering) could generate enough heat to melt the entire core simply makes no sense. And that these fires could reach their maximum temperature (after all, the steel should collapse when it's the hottest and weakest) so long after the crashes, about 100 minutes in the case of WTC-1, is simply absurd.

How would the fuel get atomized to make it flammable? You can flip matches into liquid kerosene all day without setting it on fire. Jet engines, and even furnaces, use very precise nozzles and regulated airflow to create an efficient flame. Pouring liquid kerosene down an elevator shaft doesn't begin to approximate these conditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars DUBROOM.com Review, November 18, 2004

By 

Messian Dread "DUBROOM.com" (Drachten, Fryslan Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Painful Questions: An Analysis of the September 11th Attack (Paperback)

When the Twin Towers fell to the ground, Erich Huffschmid had no reason to doubt the conspiracy theory we know as the official version of what happened that tragic day.

After all, with most sensible people he thought that "conspiracy theories" were usually expressions of paranoia.

So he probably had to answer one very painful question for himself, before he could write the book we are reviewing here.

"Is the Government story concerning september eleven a conspiracy theory?"

Recent polls show, that a majority of people answer this painfull question with "yes".

And Eric Hufschmid is one of them.

Mr. Hufsmid is a respected software engineer and programmer, respected in what he does. And succesfull too. Has he become a "conspiracy theorist"?

In a way, yes.

The writer of this great book doesn't really propose another "what really happenned" version. And he doesn't speculate either. He's just doing what the title of the book suggests: asking very Painful Questions.

Hufsmid not proposing a conspiracy theory, he is exposing one. By simply asking questions. Each of them can be answered. But the answers will not back up the official version.

Let's take a look at a few of these questions:

- Why is the military hiding the video of Flight 77 as it crashes into the Pentagon?

- Why did the WTC fall down in exactly the same unique way as advertized by the demolition company who cleaned up the ruins afterwards?

- Why do so few people know what Building 7 is and why it collapsed at 5:30 PM?

- Why do the official stories claim that the Twin Towers melted to the ground through fire where it is a scientifically proven fact steel buildings never do?

- Why didn't seismic stations pick up the crash of Flight 77 into the Pentagon?

This book truly asks the questions. Questions so painfull that it doesn't really matter whether they are answered or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars EASY TO UNDERSTAND ANALYSIS OF THE ATTACKS, August 13, 2004

By 

Don (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Painful Questions: An Analysis of the September 11th Attack (Paperback)

This book is probably the most readable in terms of understanding the technical aspects of the WTC collapse and Pentagon crash.

Humschmid illustrates that the collapse of three steel structures due to fire is either the biggest coincidence in structural engineering history or the attack was a scam. what most disturbing is the degree to which the government has gone to cover this up. The fact that most Americans seem oblivious to this sham. The two biggest giveaways are the pentagon crash and the WTC 7 collapse. You'll have to read the book to find out why.


Despite what the negative reviews say, The laws of physics don't change because the government says so. it's amazing the degree to which some people will go to to ignore facts. But I digress. Bottom line, I found this book contained the most readable explanation of the collapse of the twin towers and building seven.

don't be swayed by those who label books like these x-files stuff. The fact that the naysayers have to resort to labeling and name calling is proof positive they have absolutely no case.
