INTRODUCTION

This slideshow accompanies a paper entitled Solving The Great Steel Caper: DEW-Demolition Contrary Evidence By Dr. Gregory S. Jenkins.

 

I have chronologically organized 110 photographs from various perspectives to illustrate some points. The chronology with the associated time-stamp allows the viewer to gauge the variations in perspective even though the differing views are of the same event. True differences in the character of the debris plumes and clouds which develop over time can be quickly and directly observed. Misleading perspectives can easily be judged based upon other photographs.

 

The main points emphasized in the slideshow are the following:

 

-The north and south tower plumes before collapse traveled virtually horizontally with the prevailing wind

 

-during and after the collapse of the south tower, the smoke and debris did not move upwards since the smoke emanating from the north tower which blew directly over the south tower remained unperturbed

 

-during and after the collapse of the north tower, the smoke and debris did not move upwards since the generated debris never rose above the position of the original plume from the fires

 

-during and immediately after the collapses, all debris moved horizontally outward and downward due to the expulsion of air from the collapsing buildings. Clouds of dust moved outward resembling a pyroclastic surge, a specific type of low density flow to be discussed, engulfed lower Manhattan. Generated air currents responded to the local topology with some currents moving upward along the face of buildings, while other air currents were channeled through the canyons of NYC. Turbulence maintained particles in suspensions while concurrently transporting the particles horizontally.

 

-As the debris flows slowed, the larger particles settled quickly leaving behind the finer particles giving the debris clouds the appearance of a ‘diffuse’ cumulus like cloud. The resemblance, which will be discussed later, is not serendipitous: the cloud density and particle sizes are about the same as that of a cumulus cloud

 

-some of the smaller particles continued to be carried by the prevailing air currents

 

-the wind currents at 1400’ were about the same as those at 600’ since no significant sheer forces manifested in elongated clouds

-fires began developing within 20 minutes or so after the collapse of the north tower and increased in intensity. As the original debris cloud settled and drifted from ground zero, the whitish plume was replaced by a carbonaceous plume mainly from fires in the vicinity of WTC 5, 6, and 7.
