The Journal of 9/11 Studies has published a groundbreaking new paper by David Chandler, a retired physics teacher and board member of IC911, titled “The Descent and Tilting of the North Tower Antenna.”
Chandler’s meticulous analysis definitively undermines a key claim the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) made in its 2005 report in order to prop up its explanation of the Twin Towers’ destruction.
In his paper, Chandler examines the initial behavior of the North Tower antenna, which appeared to fall straight down just before the perimeter walls began their descent. NIST claimed that the apparent downward motion of the antenna was simply an illusion created by the supposed tilting of the building, as the south face of the structure allegedly failed and caused the upper portion of the tower to rotate southward. However, Chandler’s detailed measurements reveal that the antenna’s initial motion was, in fact, vertical and not caused by any tilting of the building.
Chandler’s analysis points to the unmistakable conclusion that the vertical descent of the antenna can be explained only by the simultaneous failure of the building’s core columns, which could have been achieved only by controlled demolition.
This paper is a significant contribution to the body of research challenging the official 9/11 narrative because it directly refutes NIST’s scenario of the North Tower’s destruction and it eliminates the main counter-argument against the early descent of the North Tower antenna as evidence of controlled demolition. The Journal of 9/11 Studies and IC911 applaud Chandler for his thorough and groundbreaking work.
