9/11 on Trial: The World Trade Center Collapse Paperback – June 6, 2006

3.5 3.5 out of 5 stars 13 ratings

Fact vs. Fiction about 9/11 What if the “official” version of events on 9/11 could be disproven solely on the basis of physics, mathematical equations, scientific formulas, physical evidence, and expert testimony – without the use of a single “conspiracy theory”? Might this dramatically alter your perspective on 9-11 and the war and “security” policies that are based on it? That is exactly how “9-11 on Trial” disproves the government’s official story – which it happens to be using to suspend our normal, peaceful, constitutional American way of life. Did you know that never before nor since 9/11 has a steel building ever collapsed due to fire? Yet on 9-11, three of them supposedly did just that in seven hours – with WTC 7 not even being hit by an airliner. All three steel-frame buildings hit the ground at free-fall speed – physically impossible unless all resistance beneath was blown away by controlled demolition. Even the government admitted in their final FEMA report that “The heat produced by burning jet fuel does not by itself appear to have been sufficient to initiate the structural collapse.” How to explain the pools of molten steel which were found bubbling 70 feet beneath the towers five weeks after 9-11? A temperature of 5,182 F is needed to melt steel – yet the estimated heat of the fires in the WTC was only between 300 F and 500 F, and jet fuel can only reach a maximum temperature of 1,517 F – in ideal conditions. 9/11 on Trial is the final answer to obfuscation, intimidation and disinformation, because it is clarity itself.

    this is a book that will make you think about really what is going on in the U.S. but if true that the planes couldn't have brought down the buildings then how could it have ever been masterminded?? Still a very good educational read.

    Victor Thorn's book "9-11 on Trial" flattens the pancake theory of the World Trade Center tragedies that has become the current equivalent of the magic bullet theory regarding the assassination of President Kennedy, vulnerable but being promoted by powerful political forces because some kind of answer was needed.

    Thorn uses the approach of a tough prosecutor in a courtroom in crafting this work that offers a different speeding bullet every chapter. The prosecution theories are developed in a question and answer format based on information culled from 48 listed sources.

    The pancake theory has been presented by believers in the conventional government theory that was further buttressed by the Official 9/11 Commission Report, which critics denounced for its failure to interview critics of the government's view and accompanying failure to look beyond superficial alleged supportive evidence.

    A theory was needed to embrace a rapid-fire collapse of skyscrapers resulting from crashing airplanes and resultant fires in the impacted buildings. The pancake theory loomed as a chain reaction choice explaining how the buildings collapsed.

    Thorn flattens the pancake theory by pointing out some convincing facts about the construction and composition of the World Trade Center buildings. For one thing, there did not appear to be significant fire damage to bring the buildings down. It is pointed out that a Madrid skyscraper had endured after days of burning without collapsing. So did buildings in Los Angeles and Philadelphia following hours of fire damage.

    Firemen on the scene at the WTC were quoted as stating that the fires were not of particularly significant strength while one telltale photo was taken of a woman waving out the window from one of the buildings amid fire activity.

    Another significant argument refuting the pancake theory resides in the potent composition of buildings constructed to endure in the wake of the sternest tests from nature and other elements. The strongly reinforced concrete and sturdy layers of steel made the buildings invulnerable to destruction in the manner described.

    Another point intelligently raised is that the telltale damage at ground level is consistent with explosive detonation rather than fire. Respected Protestant clergyman Reverend Robert Schuller commented in an interview after visiting Ground Zero that he observed tremendous amounts of dust on the ground. This is consistent with decimation by explosion rather than piles of charred rubble, which would have resulted had fire been the cause of the buildings' collapse.

    Numerous comments from on the scene witnesses ranging from first responders to occupants of the destroyed buildings who escaped to safety, as well as nearby bystanders, described explosions. Loud sounds were repeatedly heard prior to the collapse of the buildings.

    Fox News could hardly be considered a critic of the Bush Administration's 9/11 position. A Fox 5 News commentator on the scene nonetheless delivered the following spontaneous comment while videotaping a large white cloud of smoke billowing near the base of the South Tower.

    The commentator exclaimed:

    "There is an explosion at the base of the building ... white smoke from the bottom ... something has happened at the base of the building ... then, another explosion. Another building in the World Trade Center Complex."

    Teresa Veliz, manager of a software development company located at the World Trade Center, revealed, " ... There were explosions going off everywhere. I was convinced that there were bombs planted all over the place and someone was sitting at a control panel pushing detonator buttons ..."

    These are only two of many sources quoted within the pages of a revealing book that should serve as a wakeup call to America for the need of an independent investigation into the causes of the 9/11 tragedies.

    The problem with the government's story is it is physically impossible. The Towers fell at virtual free-fall speed, meaning very little resistance. At the same time the where destroying themselves meaning they encountered great resistance. Can't have it both ways. And like JFK, OKC and Waco there was evidence tampering and destruction.

    I have to laugh at the reviewer that mentioned the evidence presented was by writers, not from witnesses at an actual trial. As far as I know there was no actual trial. Or did I miss it?

    The trial style of this book can seem dry, at first. Every chapter represents different type of testimony/evidence. It has a thorough bibliography. After reading every chapter of this book one overwhelmingly understands that the mass murder of 3000 people at the World Trade Center was an inside job that was covered up by our own government.

    There was never any governmental crime scene investigation. Indeed the evidence seemed to disappear about as fast as the buildings came down.

    The recent newfound evidence of thermate by BYU Professor Jones and the realization by scholars all over the country that the odds against the veracity of the official version of events is about a trillion to one makes me strongly feel that this book serves a very important function as an introductory primer as to the extent that the corrupt influences in this country (actually a worldwide power) will go to attain their evil goals.

    This book demonstrates why and how the major media dish put propaganda on behalf of these influences and that it behooves all Americans to develop their own independent sources of news information so one can increase their wisdom and knowledge.

    The beauty of this book, is that while other books present theories and conspiracies etc, Thorn truly presents what happened and what didn't happen on that dreadfilled day. Using the accuracy of physics, in a courtroom trial setting, he pulls apart the science of fire, jet fuel, and steel. Leaving no stone unturned, he proves beyond a reasonable doubt, that the towers fell due to a controlled demolition. And so leaves the reader with a profound sense of urgency to spread this truth to others. Fascinating, disturbing, and urgently motivating to awaken even the saddest of lethargic citizens to act.

    I highly recommend this book and this TRUTH be read and shared. The clock is ticking.

    The whole 911 "coincidences" stink to high heaven.

    Tell me again how Bldg 7 was "pulled".

    For a bldg of that size & construction to fall
    exactly like a "controlled demolition" had to
    require an intensive setup ahead of time.

    The hole in the wall of the Pentagon was NOT
    made by a 757---No wreckage-no bodies, luggage,
    heavy dense solid metal parts---all "vaporized".

    Get real---we've been had by the rotten crooked
    murderist neo-con Bush-Cheney gang!

    The author tells the truth, 911 was an inside job and our government is evil. I hope more people read this book so they can resist this terrorist government. God bless Victor!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book: gives the scientific facts which prove that 9/11 was an "inside job".
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 23, 2013
    I've read quite a number of books about the horrific day of 9/11, and this one has to be up there at the top of the list [there are others which are equally good]. The book gives the multi-faceted aspects of scientific data which show, incontrovertibly, that the "official" version of 9/11 is nothing but the most wicked, bare-faced lie [a lie which, sadly, many very gullible, brainwashed people still fall for].
    29/11 on trial: the World Trade Center Collapse" is written very cleverly in the form of a trial [hence the book's title]: chapter by chapter, the author relates the diverse aspects of scientific data/facts about the different events of that dreadful day, in order to PROVE that the cause of all those horrific events could in no way have been by "19 Arab terrorists hijacking 4 commercial airliners and crashing them into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers and the Pentagon". The author shows, in an undeniable way, that the actual perpetrators of 9/11 were not from the Middle East, but, rather, the depraved American government itself (an evil cabal of top-level U.S. government personnel...).

    The book covers such aspects as (amongst others, too):

    i) the fact that the vital evidence was, criminally, tampered with, by the U.S. government; for eg, the fact that the steel debris at Ground Zero was, despicably, carted off very soon after the horror, and disposed of by being sent to China and Korea, to be melted down. This prevented the steel debris from being examined for evidence of demolition charges having been placed, beforehand.

    ii) Facts regarding the "jet fuel", and the maximum temperatures which jet fuel can attain: not high enough to melt steel. Which is just one of the many aspects of the data which proves the "official" explanation of 9/11 to be ONE BIG LIE.

    iii) Scientific evidence proving that the so-called "pancake collapse" was not a possibility, regarding how the two Towers fell.

    iv) Information regarding the pulverized concrete that was found, afterwards.

    v) Seismographic data showing that demolition charges had been laid in the Twin Towers, beforehand.

    vi) Scientific facts re. gravity free-fall.

    vii)Scientific data re. the fact that molten steel was found, in the debris.

    vii) Eyewitness testimony; including the testimony of many people, including fire-fighters, who heard explosions at the BASE of the Towers.

    viii) Facts re. controlled demolition.

    ix) Information regarding the fall of World Trade Center Building 7.

    The book also contains data regarding other aspects of what occurred on 9/11.

    The book, whilst it includes a lot of technical, scientific data, is very readable. And would be a perfect book to give to anyone who was still [gullibly] believing the "official" explanation for 9/11 given by the American government. This book would make anyone see that the "official" story of 9/11 is a literal impossibility.

    Some other excellent books on 9/11 are:

    "Hijacking America's mind on 9/11: counterfeiting evidence", by Elias Davidsson.

    "Towers of Deception: the media cover-up of 9/11", by Barrie Zwicker.

    "9/11: the simple facts: why the official story can't possibly be true", by Arthur Naiman.

    "9/11 Synthetic Terror: made in USA", by Webster Griffin Tarpley.

    "9/11 Contradictions: an Open Letter to Congress & the Press", by David Ray Griffin.

    I recommend "9/11 on trial: the World Trade Center Collapse", for anyone who wants to know the scientific facts which prove that 9/11 WAS, indeed, an Inside Job.

    After reading this book, there is only one conclusion you can come to - it is obvious that WE WERE ALL LIED TO!!!

    I always had my doubts about the actual events of that day and my suspicions have grown as the years passed. This book confirms what I've been thinking for a long, long time. People say: "Oh, they wouldn't do a thing like that", but that's that the people at the top rely on, i.e. that we won't believe that our wonderful leaders could possibly do such a vile thing. Remember, us little people outside their circles are insignificant and expendible to them and they will do anything, how ever evil, to achieve their own aims.
