Let me start by addressing the health effects during 9/11.
As a result of exposure to the dust and smoke, many people living and
working in downtown Manhattan experienced short-term health effects.
Generally, these effects included coughing and eye, nose and throat
irritations. In some cases, people experienced an increase in asthma
attacks and some health professionals have reported new cases of asthma
in previously healthy people. These short-term health effects
dissipated for most once the fires were put out. Some sensitive
individuals continued to report irritation as pockets of dust became
resuspended. Most healthy people will not suffer long-term
consequences.(1)
These irritations were believed to be from Glass Fiber, Gypsum,
Concrete, and Paper dust particles. This is what was suppose to explain
the short term health effects at the WTCs.
The dusts released from the WTC building collapse are largely composed
of particles of glass fibers, gypsum, concrete, paper, and other
miscellaneous materials commonly used in building construction. (2)
Now no longer term effects are expected and Asbestos was not expected
to play any effect in the health effects at the WTC attacks.(3)
Now that we know the official side effects for health that these
attacks had we will examine how each should have an effect and if these
materials match the official side effects.
We will start with the Glass Fibers. Glass Fibers usually cause
irritation to the nose, throat, and lungs. This matches many of the
symptoms that were encountered at the WTC attacks. But if this were a
cause for such symptoms, these symptoms would last for at least 10 days
because studies show that lungs shouldn't be able to get rid of such
particles for at least that time.
In contrast to other fibers, that may persist in the body for decades,
ordinary insulation wool glasses are quite soluble in the body and are
removed in a period of weeks or months. (4)
In other words, this means that Glass Fibers could not have been the
cause for symptoms since them would have last longer then just that
day. This makes it so that we can rule out Glass Fibers being a cause
to the health effects.
Next we will move on to Concrete. The WTC was high-rise buildings, so
not much concrete was used in order to reduce the weight. This enables
a high-rise building to be built higher and reduce weight. That means
that concrete could not have been a major cause of the health effect
since there wasn't enough concrete to cause major effects.
What we would most likely believe to be the cause of the symptoms,
Gypsum. This meets all of the side effects and seems to almost exactly
fit what would be a cause. It does make up a decent amount of the
building and could been seen as the most probable reason for the side
effects.
"Eyes: Airborne dust or direct contact can cause mechanical irritation
of eyes. If burning, redness, itching, pain or other symptoms persist
or develop, consult physician.
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust can irritate the nose, throat, and the
upper respiratory tract. Persons subjected to large amounts of this
dust will be forced to leave area because of nuisance conditions such
as coughing, sneezing and nasal irritation. Labored breathing may occur
after excessive inhalation. If respiratory symptoms persist, consult
physician. " (5)
Or is it?
What I am now going to show you is the side effects of breathing in
dust/fumes from Molten Iron.
"Inhalation: Excessive exposure to high concentrations of dust/fume may
cause irritation to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes of the upper
respiratory tract. Excessive inhalation of fumes of freshly formed
metal oxide particles sized below 1.5 microns and usually between
0.02-0.05 microns from many metals can produce an acute reaction known
as "metal fume fever". Symptoms consist of chills and fever (very
similar to and easily confused with flu symptoms), metallic taste in
the mouth, dryness and irritation of the throat followed by weakness
and muscle pain. The symptoms come on in a few hours after excessive
exposures and usually last from 12 to 48 hours. Long-term effects from
metal fume fever have not been noted. " (6)
In other words people exposed to this will suffer most of the official
side effects that were at the WTC. The side effects not officially
experienced were Metallic taste in mouth, Fever like symptoms, and flu
symptoms. Lets take a closer look though.
What we find is amusing and striking at the same time. Fox news reports
a story ridiculing The Washington Posts attempt to say that reoccurring
symptoms were a cause of Asbestos.
"George Tabb and his wife tried to stick it out in their apartment just
north of the World Trade Center, tried to ignore his twice nightly
asthma attacks and her pounding headaches." The Tabbs eventually moved
in with his stepfather, but Tabb gets a metallic taste in his mouth and
wheezes when he returns home to pick up his mail ....
Feeding into Tabb's worries are the activists at the New York
Environmental Law and Justice Project who supposedly measured levels of
asbestos in an air vent in his apartment building hallway to be 555
times the "suggested level of asbestos." Other samples from a bathroom
vent supposedly showed "dangerous levels of fiberglass."
The city disputes the project's measurements. But even assuming that
the measurements are valid - and it's a big assumption - so what?
Asbestos and fiberglass are not known to cause asthma. ....
The Uniformed Firefighters Association estimates that about one-third
of its 9,000 members suffer from "World Trade Center cough." One must
wonder, though, how many of these men are simply suffering from the
flu-related symptoms".(7)
Obvious Part, Fox News is right, Asbestos and Fiber Glass could never
cause such symptoms. Funny part, they just told us the symptoms that
perfectly fit the description of dust/fumes from Molten Iron. Why would
that be funny? Well lets take a look at where Molten Iron could come
from, if it was at the WTC scene.
Two words for where Molten Iron would appear, Thermite-Reactions.
"since thermite produces molten iron at yellow-to-white hot
temperatures. The reader may wish to compare the dripping molten metal
observed on the corner of the South Tower just before its collapse with
the dripping molten metal from known thermite reactions:
http://www.checktheevidence.com/911/Thermite2.htm . "
(8), (9)
As we can see, Thermite Reactions produce Molten Iron and Aluminum
Oxide. This Molten Iron would have to have a great abundance to cause
such massive side effects though. Well try to imagine the amount of
Thermite charges you would have to use to take down 80 to 90 stories of
building, thus flattening the WTC buildings 1 and 2.
In conclusion, we see the health side effects correspond directly with
dust and flumes from Molten Iron. In which Molten Iron just so happens
to be produced by Thermite Reactions which would be used in demolition
jobs to knock out steel in buildings. What we are seeing now is the
fact that even though all the physical evidence of debris from The
World Trade Centers was removed, we still have one form of evidence. We
thought that all the evidence was carried away, never investigated, and
forever lost. We have a form of evidence though, Health side effects.
These health side effects have shown us that a byproduct of a material
used in demolition jobs causes the same health side effects that they
experienced that day.
