Before 911, no steel framed building ever collapsed due to fire.
We are supposed to believe that on 9-11 47-story World trade center Bldg 7 "just collapsed"
The Collapse of Building 7 was the third largest structural failure in World history.

# Aftermath: Unaswered Questions From 9/11 Mon Oct 13 8pm
ELEVEN questions about the attacks of Sept. 11. That's what nine producers
from the Guerrilla News Network asked people in order to make Aftermath:
Unanswered Questions From 9/11. People interviewed in the video include
Nafeez Ahmed, author of War on Freedom; Mike Ruppert, editor of From the
Wilderness; and Peter Dale Scott, professor emeritus at UC-Berkeley.
A sampling of the tough questions asked: Why wasn't the U.S. military able
to intercept the hijacked planes? Were there plans for a war in Central
Asia prior to Sept. 11? What did the Bush administration know and when? Is
there an underlying motive for the U.S. military's presence in Central
Asia? Grand Lake Neighborhood Center, 530 Lake Park Ave, Oakland (between

# 10/14: Film: Blue Vinyl Takes a look at Vinyl, the world’s second largest selling plastic. With humor, hope and a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand, the filmmaker travels to America’s vinyl manufacturing capital and beyond in search of answers about the nature of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Her parents’ decision to “re-side” their house with this seemingly benign cure-all for many suburban homes turns into a toxic odyssey with twists and turns that most ordinary homeowners would never dare to take.

# Aftermath: Unaswered Questions From 9/11 Mon Oct 13 8pm
ELEVEN questions about the attacks of Sept. 11. That's what nine producers
from the Guerrilla News Network asked people in order to make Aftermath:
Unanswered Questions From 9/11. People interviewed in the video include
Nafeez Ahmed, author of War on Freedom; Mike Ruppert, editor of From the
Wilderness; and Peter Dale Scott, professor emeritus at UC-Berkeley.
A sampling of the tough questions asked: Why wasn't the U.S. military able
to intercept the hijacked planes? Were there plans for a war in Central
Asia prior to Sept. 11? What did the Bush administration know and when? Is
there an underlying motive for the U.S. military's presence in Central
Asia? Grand Lake Neighborhood Center, 530 Lake Park Ave, Oakland (between

With humor, hope and a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand, the filmmaker travels to America’s vinyl manufacturing capital and beyond in search of answers about the nature of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Her parents’ decision to “re-side” their house with this seemingly benign cure-all for many suburban homes turns into a toxic odyssey with twists and turns that most ordinary homeowners would never dare to take.
