The "official" story says perimeter steel columns "falling" from #WTC1 "punched" through Building 6 #WTC6 on 9/11 & created this huge "crater" down to sub-basement levels? Others look at this crater and think "No way! This HAD to have been an explosion!" So which is it? Thread 1/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
For nearly a year after 9/11 there was nothing controversial about the #WTC6 crater. On 16 Sep 2001 #NYTimes published this satellite image that clearly shows the black hole marked "6" but it certainly didn't stand out from all the other destruction 2/ https://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/16/us/after-the-attacks-a-look-at-the-destruction-and-the-rescue-effort.html?searchResultPosition=1
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
On 5 Oct 2001, AP released a photo of a priest blessing a cross of steel beams that reportedly had fallen from WTC1 into #WTC6 that a laborer had found in the WTC6 rubble two days after 9/11 3/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
What should have gotten - but apparently never did get - people's attention that maybe it wasn't WTC1 steel beams that caused the #WTC6 crater was a segment of Sixty Minutes II broadcast on 31 Oct 2001. 4/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1HDQhYsiX8&ab_channel=60Minutes
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
In this must see segment titled "Under Ground Zero," CBS's Dan Rather takes a tour under Ground Zero with Ken Holden, Commissioner of New York's Department of Design & Construction, starting with #WTC6. 5/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/i60-minutes-ii-i-under-ground-zero/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Providing our first close-up views of the #WTC6 crater, Rather reports that Commissioner Holden says "debris from the tall towers crashed through the roof" of #WTC6 & "through the basements six stories underground" 6/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
For those unfamiliar with the WTC underground, #WTC6 was in the "Deep Foundation" (aka "Bathtub") section that had six basement levels (B1 to B6) protected from the Hudson River by the slurry wall. 7/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Holden: "Large chunks of that heavy facade broke off, presumably from the upper floors 90 or higher & just crashed through the center of this building [#WTC6], crashing through the nine floors of this building" & "many of the concrete slabs that create the parking structure" 8/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Holden is referring to pre-fabricated sections of vertical columns attached to horizontal beams (called spandrels) 48 ft long x 10 ft wide that weighed about 22 tons 9/ https://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/wtc.htm
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Rather: "The debris, some of the individual pieces weighing 30 tons, cannonball through Building 6, creating an open space that looks like an atrium." 10/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Deeper under #WTC6, Comm'r Holden points at one of "the huge exterior columns that support the exterior of the building" & said "you can see the force of the fire and the explosion has basically sheared off." Excuse me! "Force of the fire"? "Explosion"? "Sheared off"? 11/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Comm'r Holden adds: "And so that when you look at it [WTC6] from the outside, you see that northern facade is leaning against this building, and that's why it's leaning because these have sheared off.” (It's hard to judge from photos of #WTC6 any leaning facade. ) 12/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Descending further, Comm'r Holmes announces “This is level B3, three floors beneath Ground Zero,” what used to be a garage for fed govt employees who worked in #WTC6 where Rather says daylight "filters in from that giant crater at the bottom of what Holden calls, the atrium." 13/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
In the 20 years since 9/11, there has been much confusion abt how deep the #WTC6 crater was. Indeed in this very segment Rather had earlier reported Comm'r Holden said debris crashed "through the basements six stories underground" suggesting bottom was not B3 but instead B6 14/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Similarly #NYTimes reporter James Glanz after taking a tour of the WTC basement wrote "a giant hole punched through the middle of the U.S. Customs House [aka #WTC6] by falling debris from the north tower continues to the bottom of the basement" 15/ https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/An-underground-wasteland-Journey-to-trade-2856669.php
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
For my part, I have oft tweeted Jack White's claim that the #WTC6 crater was 10-story crater in an 8-story building. White simply assumed #WTC6 had only a two-story basement and the debris one could see in photos was lying on the bottom of the crater. 16/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
But looking at this still that Comm'r Holmes says is level B3 & Rather says daylight "filters in from that giant crater at the BOTTOM" of the "atrium", it appears B3 is the BOTTOM of the "crater." The B3 floor seems to extend to where the car is parked in the daylit area. 17/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
However George Tamaro (who supervised repairs to slurry wall) in 2004 reported "tiebacks" were installed on segment of Vesey St wall where falling debris had punched thru #WTC6 & 3 levels of basement floor slabs - suggesting damage to B3 floor as well 18/ https://scholarsmine.mst.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2607&context=icchge
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
This diagram of WTC basement damage posted by Lawrence B. Karp, Consulting Engineer, seems consistent w/George Tamaro showing greatest #WTC6 damage to B1 & B2 where "crater" located, reduced damage to B3 & no damage to B4, B5 & B6 19/ lbkarp.com/wtc/basement.j…
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Knowing that the bottom of the "crater" lay on B3 and maybe in part on B4 we could ask "How much debris was on the bottom of the crater?" Well, to judge by this image - with all that daylight coming in - I would say on B3 (& thus likely B4) the debris pile was NOT VERY HIGH! 20/
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Indeed to judge by this photo captioned "This debris field in the center of the U.S. Customhouse at 6 World Trade Center," if this represents B3 we might surmise the pile was no higher than HALF the height of the basement floor or about 5 feet. 21/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CBP_World_Trade_Center_Photography_6.jpg
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
While we're on this photo, we might ask where are all those "large chunks" of perimeter columns from #WTC1 that Comm'r Holden & Dan Rather referred that "cannonballed" into #WTC6 b/c I certainly don't see many of them at the bottom of the "crater"? 22/ https://t.co/yNePjVE0cQ
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
It is not clear what part of the #WTC6 "crater" the earlier video clip of the jumbled "large chunks" of #WTC1 perimeter columns was taken, but if anything it appears to be from the TOP of the crater where they penetrated only partially into #WTC6 23/ https://t.co/BhIMDTHWii
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
And while we're on this photo we might note it is strange how these #WTC1 perimeter columns seem to have broken in two. How does that happen? Were they supposed to be from the north side of #WTC1 that American Airlines Flight 11 reportedly crashed into? 24/ https://t.co/FEWwWaVebB
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
The #WTC6 "crater" photo caption also states "Steel beams formed several crosses in the midst of the debris field." We might ask from WHAT PART of #WTC1 or #WTC6 did these "crosses" supposedly come and what function could they have possibly served? 25/ https://t.co/dEjcpqIXUh
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
WaPo reported these "crosses" were actually "T-beams" & stated "There were T-beams on every floor of the World Trade center buildings." But these "crosses" are NOT "T-beams". So what are they? Were these "crosses" somehow planted for laborers to find? 26/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/911-memorials-the-story-of-the-cross-at-ground-zero/2011/09/07/gIQA2mMXDK_story.html https://t.co/9FrcxUXPN4
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
From these photos it appears the debris field at the bottom of #WTC6 "crater" is all on one level (B3) but, whether on 1 or 2 levels, it seems the debris was only about 5 feet high. So where did all that steel, concrete, office furnishings, etc. from an 8-story building go?! 27/ https://t.co/HMlBSBfraZ
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
But there was a lot more happening on B3 than the bottom of a scooped out crater. Dan Rather exclaimed “Good God, this is an automobile hanging like this" & Comm'r Holden added "With its tires burnt off. Obviously the rubber has been burnt off. The fire here was so hot." 28/ https://t.co/iQOtmbfxBv
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
As they walked past many other burnt out cars on B3, Comm'r Holden observes "Obviously, these cars are all burnt out, but you'll be able to see over, I believe it's over here, and see the aluminum hubcap is just melted right off. That's a puddle of aluminum from the fire.” 29/ https://t.co/QELtEs0Y0b
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Yes, indeed, that's "a puddle of aluminum"! But it's not the hubcap. That the entire rim that has melted! FYI the melting point of aluminum is 1221°F/660°C while the melting point of the standard A356 aluminum alloy used for car rims is a little less 1130°F/610 °C. 30/ https://t.co/Oa83nFirH4
@drbairdonline - Bruce Baird
Aluminum alloy rims have been known to melt when cars are left abandoned in forest fires but it is curious what could have possibly caused and sustained this fire on B3? From the photos the debris field itself on B3 does not seem to have suffered any fire damage. 31/ https://t.co/NW55mB6wzq

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝑱𝒂𝒏 6𝒕𝒉 There has been a lot of talk about the white FBI buses (or “Ghost Buses”) at the Capitol on Jan 6th @RepClayHiggins questioned Wray about these buses during a committee hearing earlier this week As the permit holder (@america1stwomen) for all 3 large #StoptheSteal #MarchforTrump rallies in DC from Nov 14th - Jan 6th it’s important to know that there was a perimeter set up from the White House & Freedom Plaza all the way up to and around the Capitol When the perimeter was set up, the streets would shut down and Metro PD would be stationed at each entrance point No cars or vehicles were permitted to enter the secure area unless they were Law Enforcement or they had a special permit to enter (such as a vendor for setting up staging, delivering sound equipment, porta potties, etc.) Once the secure perimeter was established, there were no cabs or Ubers allowed in and out of the secure perimeter The March for Trump team couldn’t even get our team members in and out of the perimeter unless they were on foot We would have to send a team member on the golf cart to a pick up location at an entrance/exit point (even people coming in from the airport with luggage) In both Nov and Dec, they would shut down the streets and set up the secure perimeter beginning on Friday afternoon for the Saturday rally In January, I believe they shut down the streets beginning Jan 4th because there was a rally on the evening of Jan 5th As we got closer to Jan 6th, the security got tighter and we were told we needed to get the March for Trump bus and our entourage into DC early on Jan 5th We had to have a police escort meet us and take us to the hotel Once there, we were not permitted to leave until the perimeter was removed I am including screen shots of our team text msgs to show that this was something we worked on and set up in advance with our team members on the ground that were working with the NPS, Metro PD, etc. Furthermore, when going through the permitting process, if there was anyone trying to piggyback on our permits or coordinate anything during the same time period of our permit(s), NPS would ask us if the group piggybacking was part of our efforts or working with us There was so much that went into the permitting process, that if I remember correctly, our team members working with NPS were on zoom calls with 17(?) different agencies I tell you all of this because there is no way buses were allowed at the Capitol on Jan 6th unless they were Law Enforcement There is absolutely no way any buses would have been allowed We held the permits for the Ellipse and the secure perimeter was established for our rally But even though the March for Trump bus had been inside of the secured perimeter since Jan 5th We would not have even been able to drive the MFT bus from the hotel to the Capitol Law enforcement would have shut it down before the first intersection So how did buses get inside the perimeter?!? Someone had to have let them in and if that is the case, then it should show on the body cams of those working at the perimeter entrance/exit points Not to mention, there are more cameras in Washington, DC than probably anywhere else Also, one last thing… There is no way anyone is permitted to erect any structure on Capitol grounds without a permit and once erected, the permit holder must have someone present at all times So if the gallow was on Capitol grounds, someone allowed it to be erected and stay there for the hours it was there And how did they get the lumber and materials inside the secure perimeter?!?🤔 Take it for what it is… *This is my recollection to the best of my ability. If I’m wrong abt anything, @KylieJaneKremer &/or @JenniferHulsey1 pls correct me.
