Who exactly destroyed the WTC steel? And can they be held accountable?

On April 11, 2018, AE911Truth added a new piece to our library of technical articles titled, “Documenting the Destruction of Physical Evidence at the World Trade Center.” 

The purpose of publishing the article on that date was to provide  well-sourced information supporting the claim that New York City Mayor  Rudolph Giuliani’s role in destroying the WTC evidence was  “well-documented” — a claim we made in an accompanying news article, “Lawyers and Victims’ Families File Petition for Federal Grand Jury Investigation,” on the same day. 

The larger reason for publishing the technical article was to clarify  exactly who was responsible for destroying the WTC steel. The  destruction of this evidence is widely known in the 9/11 Truth movement,  but many are unaware of who actually carried it out. For example, some  mistakenly believe the evidence was destroyed by FEMA, the government  agency that conducted the first investigation. 

Furthermore, we wanted to counter any suggestion that the destruction  of evidence was simply an innocent action that had the unintended  consequence of preventing a proper forensic investigation. 

Indeed, the public record establishes very clearly that the  destruction of evidence was deliberate and was carried out in direct  defiance of requests by official investigators for the steel to be  saved. The destruction of evidence then continued for several months,  despite outcry by 9/11 families and members of the fire safety  community. 

The record also identifies four individuals who were most responsible  for ordering and carrying out the recycling of the steel: Mayor Rudolph  Giuliani, NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) Commissioner  Kenneth Holden, DDC Deputy Commissioner Michael Burton, and cleanup  advisor Richard Tomasetti of Thornton-Tomasetti Engineers. 

In New York State, hindering prosecution of a class A felony (such as first degree murder) by way of destroying physical evidence is a class D felony and has a statute of limitations of three years.  However, a strong argument can be made that the offense has not yet  been discovered because prosecutors and the larger public have still not  recognized, almost seventeen years after the crime, that the Twin  Towers were destroyed by controlled demolition (in part because the  offenders’ destruction of the physical evidence had its intended  effect). 

Thus, the destruction of physical evidence at the World Trade Center  is likely to remain prosecutable beyond the point in time when it  becomes widely recognized that the Twin Towers were destroyed by  controlled demolition — whenever that may be.
