Facts demand a public challenge to the federal agency’s report

‘Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” This phrase has been attributed to several people, but it could not be more correct.
On the day of 9/11, I recognized from my training as a forensic scientist and materials engineer that steel and concrete do not unravel like a sweater, nor do they turn to dust in mid air - whether or not they are on fire.
In all my years of education and research, I had never seen a phenomenon like the one on television that morning.
Knowing that what I had seen contradicted what would be normal in a collapsing building, I stepped back to my own teaching and research responsibilities, expecting that rational engineers assigned to investigate the evidence would uncover the technology that had caused this destruction. I told myself it wasn't my job.
But as time went on, it became apparent that no one was publicly questioning what caused the materials of the World Trade Center buildings to turn into dust in mid air. Then whose job is it?
It should be the job of all of us. This is our world.
One of my areas of expertise involves the use of optical images to evaluate material properties. So (about 7 years ago) I began investigating the thousands of photographs and video accounts of the buildings that were available in the public domain.
I looked through the eyes of the photographer, watching the event unfold, but I did so with the mindset of a forensic scientist, a step removed from the emotional trauma.
Over time, I was able to assemble a list of more than 40 physical phenomena found in photos, videos, measurement data and satellite imagery. All of them can be found in my book, “Where Did The Towers Go? Evidence of Directed Free-energy Technology on 9/11.”
This forensic summary is filled with more than 800 color photos and graphics that supported my federal whistle-blower case.
That civil case was filed against the subcontractors for NIST, the federal agency tasked with analyzing the destruction of the Twin Towers. My claim stated that these subcontractors had perpetrated a scientific fraud against the people of the United States, who deserved to understand why two, quarter-mile-tall buildings each disappeared into dust in less than 15 seconds.
Some of the facts the official reports ignored:
l The buildings didn't burn up or slam to the ground; they turned into dust in mid air.
l The seismic signal during the demise of WTC 7 was not significantly greater than background noise. Seismic primary and secondary waves were absent during the destruction of all three towers, indicating the signal did not travel through the ground.
l The protective underground “bathtub” structure was not significantly damaged, as it would have been if the Twin Towers had crashed into it.
l Fourteen people survived in stairwell B of WTC 1 while the 106 floors above them turned to dust and did not crush them.
l Approximately 1,400 motor vehicles around Manhattan were “toasted” in ways unexplainable by conventional fire or burning.
l The presence of Hurricane Erin on that day went almost unreported on morning media weather reports. Hurricane Erin was omitted on television weather maps, even though that portion of the Atlantic Ocean where she stood was covered by the map.
l Changes and alterations in materials on 9/11 were similar or even identical in a great many ways to technology demonstrated by Nikola Tesla (Serbian-American scientist-inventor). Some of these effects cause material-altering phenomena of the kinds listed and examined in my book and on my website (drjudy
