Did you know that only a metallurgical study of the structural steel from the North Tower could have confirmed the Bush administration's peculiar explanation for that building's unprecedented collapse on 9/11? Did you also know that New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani ordered his deputies to sell off that steel evidence for recycling before it could be examined? Did you know that, four months before 9/11, President George W. Bush issued a directive to FEMA that enabled Vice President Richard "Dick" Cheney to control the investigation of the WTC collapses? Did you also know that under Cheney's watch, FEMA banned its "Dream Team" of investigating engineers from the site for more than three months, until after Giuliani had succeeded in having practically all of that vital steel evidence shipped out of the country as scrap? Are you now asking yourself why? In The North Tower: Controlled Demolition and the Bush, Cheney, Giuliani Cover-up, author David Alden answers that question. Through an exhaustive review of witness statements, physical evidence found at the scene, and the blueprints for the building as seen through the prism of his experience as a civil engineer, he proves to an overwhelming degree of certainty that the collapse of the North Tower was due to an inside job of controlled demolition in which explosives were planted in the building prior to the 9/11 attacks, and that Bush, Cheney, and Giuliani's criminal act of conspiring to destroy the steel evidence before it could be properly examined was an attempt to hide that fact from the American people.
David Alden has a BS degree in civil engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He has worked variety of jobs related to the subject of this book, ranging from structural design to construction engineering. The North Tower represents six years of research and writing on the World Trade Center collapses.
