Questions About the WTC Basement Aftermath-- Is This Information Available Anywhere?
1) To what extent were the basement levels of WTC 1 and 2 compacted or destroyed?

2) There was a PATH train that supposedly ran right under WTC2. Was this area destroyed or not?

3) There supposedly was a parking lot under WTC1. Was this area destroyed or not? I saw pictures of a parking lot in the basement area of Ground Zero once, where there were burned cars but the garage was basically intact. Was this right under WTC1?

4) How much rubble/debris was compacted in the basement levels of WTC1 and WTC2?

I would very much appreciate any info on this, particularly if there are pics that can be clearly sourced to the basement area directly under the tower.

1. not sure about pictures
but I have a friend who has a cousin whose sister-in-law's coworker says that not only was the underground parking lot in perfect shape, but that no one was allowed in due to the high levels of radiation which obviously came from a mini-nuke or a spaceship.

6. Not only were the parking garages intact
but they held Masonic meetings there while the recovery effort was going on. We all know that Mason's gain strength being near sources of radiation.

2. City in the Sky: The Rise and Fall of the WTC
Edited on Sat May-29-10 02:39 PM by tetedur
had some illustrations and written descriptions of the underground areas. I remember a picture of a PATH train that was miraculously undamaged in that book.

this account of inspectors who went underground:
(from City in the Sky,James Glanz and Eric Lipton, Times Books Henry Holt & Co. 2003)
p. 293-294
"Lopez and Pontecorvo...were walking directly toward what had been the north tower. After a few minutes, their flashlights illuminated a solid, rocklike mass where the basement levels of the tower had been. At first, as the flashlights played over the rocky surface behind the columns, the mind simply could not interpret what the eyes saw: the recognizable traces of twenty floors, very much like geologic strata revealed by a road cut, compressed into a ten-foot vertical span. In one place, the steel decks of half a dozen floors protruded like tattered wallpaper, so close together that they were almost touching where they were bent downward at the edge. Nothing between the decks was recognizable except as a rocky, rusty mishmash. In a few places what might have been carbonized, compressed stacks of paper stuck out edgewise like graphite deposits. They could not be removed.

Lopez and Pontecorvo had found where the vanished floors had gone. They had not just fallen straight down. The forces had been so great and the floors so light that they had simply folded up like deflated balloons.

...The immense columns, at least two feet across, made of steel plate four inches thick, had suffered what looked like a compound fracture: the upper sections looked as if they had been kicked, with incalculable fury, about a foot south of the sections they were resting on....the broken columns, resting so precariously on their edges, not only rose up through the rest of the basement but also supported as much as one hundred feet of the north tower's facade that was leaning--at an angle very much like the one in front of them--against the mangled remnants of 6 World Trade Center."

5. One thing is for sure
The 93 bombing wasn’t directly underneath the north tower.

9. Hey, Spooked!
Edited on Sun May-30-10 08:34 PM by SDuderstadt
I'm coming to Indianapolis soon and I have a question. Do the E.T.'s only have us quarantined to Earth or is it going to be a problem for me to come there? Have they talked to you lately?

In addition, I thought it might be a hoot to get together while I'm there. I'd especially like to see the "bunny cage" experiment up close and personal. Additionally, with all the tin foil I suspeect you've enveloped your house in, will I have difficulty getting a cell phone signal?

I have to be there in Indy for a joint CFR/NWO confab. I'll see if you can go too but, just so you know, the NWO, especially, is even more secretive than the Bilderbergers. It's so secretive, I''m not even allowed to know I belong, which makes paying dues a real bitch.

I'm looking forward to being there...it'll be great to see you!

I'm sure they won't mind if you join us.

15. I'm not sure the phrases...
"anal probes" and "falling out" go together.
