NEW ANALYSIS: The Required Low and Level Impact Versus Standing Poles and Obstacles on North Side Path

In the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of the CIT website (CitizenInvestigationTeam.com), FAQ #2 is:

"Why does it matter which side of the gas station the plane flew on? Couldn’t the plane have flown on the north side of the gas station and still hit the light poles and building?"

The short answer to the second question is "no", and that FAQ page (viewable in full here) is an important resource explaining why that is the case.

A new section has now been added to this page. It is entitled:

THE REQUIRED LOW AND LEVEL IMPACT VERSUS STANDING POLES & OBSTACLES ON THE NORTH SIDE PATH

(Clicking the link above or the preview image below will take you to the new section)



Use the following URL when linking directly to that section (it should jump right to the proper spot on the page):

http://www.citizeninvestigationteam.com/faq-can_north_side_plane_hit.html#northsidepoles

As explained:

The ground-level damage [to the building] combined with the lack of foundation damage means that the plane -- if it had struck -- would have had to have done so extremely low and virtually level with the ground (i.e. not in a descent). However, the photographic evidence shows all poles and obstacles on the north side path fully in tact. This means that a plane approaching from north of the Citgo station would not only have missed the downed light poles, but would also have flown OVER numerous other light poles and other obstacles an instant before reaching the building. This further underscores the fact that the plane did not hit the building, and could only have continued on over the building after clearing all of those obstacles on the north side flight path.

This is a point which has been noted by Citizen Investigation Team and others for years, and it is now made more clear than ever.

Two more speak out in support of CIT - Rusty Aimer and Stanley Beattie

Adding to the continuously growing list of experts, scholars, journalists, activists, researchers and concerned citizens who have formally offered their praise for our presentation National Security Alert we are honored to include pilot Rusty Aimer and engineer Stanley Beattie.

Mr. Beattie is a licensed Professional Engineer in his home state of Michigan. He also holds a B.S. in Physics. After graduation he spent several years in the U.S. Navy, where he served as Operations Officer on the U.S.S. Talbot County (LST-1153). He subsequently spent 33 years serving in various engineering and management positions for the ANR Pipeline Company before retiring in 1996.

Mr. Aimer is a retired professional pilot with 45 years airline experience. As a captain for United Airlines he flew the routes for both Flight 175 and Flight 93 many times. He is a core member of Pilots for 9/11 Truth , and was recently featured in an episode of Jesse Ventura's television show on TruTV about the Pentagon attack, where he demonstrated the implausibility of any pilot, let alone an amateur like Hani Hanjour, to accomplish what Hanjour is alleged to have accomplished.

Our sincere thanks go out to both of these gentlemen for their support.

"The video, NATIONAL SECURITY ALERT, presents stunningly clear evidence that the official story of the Pentagon attack is false and deceiving. All Americans should call for a competent investigation of that heinous crime."

Stanley A. Beattie, P.E.
Farmington Hills, Michigan


"You guys have done an excellent job of investigative reporting, and if somebody honestly wants some answers I think that [National Security Alert] is a good place to go."

Captain Ross "Rusty" Aimer
Pilot, United Airlines (Retired)
30,000 Hours Total Flight Time / 40+ years experience

Former NASA Flight Director Dwain Deets Endorses CIT & National Security Alert

Dwain Deets is an outspoken 9/11 truth advocate who is a core member of both Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth as well as Pilots for 9/11 Truth.

He has recently launched a very succinct website regarding the destruction of World Trade Center building 7 at: www.7problemswithbuilding7.info.

Dwain is currently retired after 37 years with NASA, where he worked as an aeronautical engineer and flight director for Aerospace Projects. In other words he is a literal rocket scientist.

We are honored to receive his endorsement for our work and conclusions.

Thanks Dwain!

Steve Storti Caught Lying About His Dialog With CIT

Steve Storti is a previously published witness who was in Crystal City over 3/4 of a mile away from the alleged impact point of the Pentagon. You can see his location labeled in the bottom right corner of the below image.

(click to enlarge)


The yellow lines equal the true eyewitness flight path we have documented and the light blue line is the proven false official flight path.

Despite Steve Storti's relatively far location from either flight path, he describes the plane in detail and even claims that he saw people through the windows moving in the back of the plane. He also claims that he took a picture of the "fireball" within the first second or two after the explosion and that he has not shown this image to anyone.

We got a hold of Steven and interviewed him in Oct 2009. He said he would provide us with pictures to verify his point of view from his 4th floor balcony but failed to do so.

We made the decision to wait until we could get our own images from that balcony (Storti no longer lives there) before releasing his interview so we could be sure to validate that he could actually see what he was claiming he saw. A few months later he showed up at our forum (not knowing it was us) and provided his contact information in case we had questions for him.

I instantly called him and that phone call can be downloaded here:

23 minute discussion with Steven Storti - March 29th, 2010

In this call he praises our efforts, calls us "legit", rails against the 9/11 commission, and agrees to help us in our campaign for justice by making a strong effort to provide us with his alleged photographs of his POV and the "fireball" while agreeing to an on camera interview.

He failed to live up to any of these things and simply never replied again.

But he was contacted by Jeff Hill on June 19th, 2010. At this point he did a completely unjustified and unprovoked reversal and chose to maliciously attack us with blatant lies regarding our dialog. Jeff Hill recorded the conversation and published these lies.

Please listen to the above phone call from March 29 and then read the following open letter for full details about this very strange and contradictory interaction with an alleged witness who has been cited for years as someone who allegedly "saw the plane hit the Pentagon".

French bloggers Kropotkine & Ikky interview Craig Ranke

I participated in a comprehensive interview with French bloggers/911 Truth activists Kropotkine & Ikky of the "Enquêtes et Faits Divers" blog which means "Inquiries and News Items".

Read the full interview in English here.

These guys have done an amazing job bringing the evidence we have uncovered to the people of France by creating a version of National Security Alert with French subtitles that they uploaded to Dailymotion.com here. It has received over 35,000 views and over 500 comments.

French author Thierry Meyssan's book "L'Effroyable imposture" which means "The Horrifying Fraud" (its English edition is entitled 9/11: The Big Lie) was released in 2002 and as far as I know was the first publication released questioning the 9/11 event during all the initial hysteria when to do so was considered unthinkable for most.

There has been a rather lively debate on this topic in France ever since.

Meyssan's book received worldwide attention and he was the first known proponent of the missile theory at the Pentagon. Kropotkine & Ikky recently published an exclusive interview with Meyssan on their blog where they asked him about the research of CIT. The original interview in French is available on their blog here and Kropotkine has translated the outtakes where Meyssan discusses CIT and posted them on our forum in this post.

There has been a renewed interest in France regarding the Pentagon attack due to the efforts of Kropotkine & Ikky to make sure people there are aware of what we have accomplished. With so many people discussing our research Kropotkine had some very excellent questions to ask us that deserved extremely detailed and thorough answers.

The same questions are also brought up during debate in the U.S. so reading this entire interview is highly recommended.

The below link is to the English version. They will be releasing a French version as soon as they finish the translation.

Thanks Kropotkine & Ikky!
