Models, maps, audio reports and a 360-degree view show the changes at Ground Zero five years later.
Felicia Dunn-Jones, a 42-year-old attorney who was caught in the dust cloud while fleeing the collapsing towers on Sept. 11, 2001, died of sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation and scarring in the lungs, on Feb. 10, 2002.
Chief Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch, citing "accumulated scientific research" that concluded exposure to trade center dust can cause or contribute to sarcoidosis, said that "Mrs. Dunn-Jones' exposure to World Trade Center dust on 9/11/01 contributed to her death and it has been ruled a homicide."
"Mrs. Dunn-Jones has now been added to the list of people who died as a result of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers," Hirsch wrote.
"It'll be an honor," her widower, Joe Jones, told CBS News. "We feel she always deserved to be on that list."
"You're almost without words," he said.
The city said the Sept. 11 death toll at the trade center stands at 2,750.
A class action lawsuit has claimed dozens of deaths have been caused by exposure to toxic trade center dust. A New Jersey medical examiner last year ruled that the January 2006 death of a retired police detective, 34-year-old James Zadroga, was "directly related" to his work at ground zero on and after Sept. 11.
Dunn-Jones' estate received a $2.6 million death benefit from a federal fund to compensate victims' families.
New York lawmakers, some of whom urged the city to add Dunn-Jones to the death toll last year, said more should be added in the future.
"Sadly, we have known that Felicia is not alone and that others have died from ailments caused by 9/11," said U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. "I hope that the medical examiner is no longer in denial about the trade center dust. Dr. Hirsch must review the cases of other 9/11 heroes who, like Felicia, died in the prime of their lives."
Dunn-Jones' family had asked last year that the medical examiner add her name to the death toll, but Hirsch wrote at the time that his office could not link her death to the exposure "with certainty beyond a reasonable doubt."
Since then, a doctor for the Fire Department of New York published a study that found firefighters who worked at ground zero contracted sarcoidosis at a much higher rate after the Sept. 11 attacks than before, linking the disease firmly to the dust exposure.
A New Jersey medical examiner last year ruled that the January 2006 death of a retired police detective, 34-year-old James Zadroga, was "directly related" to his work at ground zero on and after Sept. 11.
Zadroga's father, Joseph Zadroga, said his son also suffered from sarcoidosis and that he and many others should be added to the list of victims with Dunn-Jones.
"I think that anybody that passes as a result of 9/11 should be listed on the wall," he said.
Dunn-Jones will be listed on the Sept. 11 memorial with the names of 2,973 people killed on Sept. 11 in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., memorial foundation spokeswoman Lynn Rasic said.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who chairs the foundation, said his "thoughts and prayers are with the Dunn-Jones family."
"It is on their behalf and on behalf of all those affected by 9/11 that we are now building a memorial that remembers and honors the thousands of innocents that died," he said.

9/11 Mysteries: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6708190071483512003&q=911+mysteries&hl=en
What you are suggesting would require coroberation and secrecy coordinated between hundreds of Corporations and thousands of people not only hiding this from the American Public, US Government, and the airlines involved...but also the insurance company who had to pony up. Once Siverstein paid off all those people, and account for the income loss for years of no rental income, I doubt he'd have enough money to make it worthwhile.
No one would have the financial resources and power to be able to pull this off and Human nature makes such coordination and cunning on such a grand scale impossible at best.
1) why did WTC7 fall? WTC lease holder Larry Silverstein admitted to having the building "pulled" (slang for demolished) - only problem is that it takes weeks at best to prepare a building for demolition. Why did the 9/11 commission fail to even mention the collapse of WTC7-why isn%u2019t it shown on TV? OBVIOUS DEMOLITION!
2) how could the twin towers fall at free fall speeds if we are to believe the "pancake" theory? The buildings fell in 9 seconds! If floors were collapsing into the ones below them there would be slight delay before the lower floor gives. If it were a half a second at each floor that would still be nearly 50 seconds - huge steel beams were being ejected hundreds of feet HORIZONTALLY, concrete was pulverized into fine dust, SQUIBS (well-placed charges) are exploding outward up to 20 floors below the collapse wave. All characteristics of a controlled demolition not collapse.
3) kerosene (jet fuel) does not burn hot enough to melt the steel they used in the Twin Towers. PERIOD. watch the footage - these were oxygen starved fires - lots of smoke and minimal flames. Most of the fuel was burned off at impact. NO WAY were those fires hot enough to bring down a steel frame building-a complete fallacy.

Nothing like these wackos taking a point in time and then rewinding time, revising what happened, match selected pics or vids to match the sippet of time, link them together....then proclaim they have the truth in hand.
Fortunately, when the whole picture is viewed, the wackos cannot with stand the light of day.

Why did the victims families receive such astronomical amounts of money "from a federal fund to compensate victim's families"? Now that the EPA is having to reverse its position on the safety aspects of the dust, there will be hundreds more getting this death benefit. Pay attention folks, because these are your tax dollars. Also, although I suffer from severe Katrina fatigue, I don't remember anyone on the Gulf Coast collecting similar lump sums. Heck, they can't even collect their insurence!
So Bush and his puppeteers could go to war. Why else?
1) well a lot of players on Wall Street knew something was up on Mon 9/10 with the level of activity on airline options ... through the roof -
2) is it coincidence that the company in charge of security (Securacom/Stratesec) at the WTC and Dulles Airport (where Flight 77 supposedly flew out of) was headed by Marvin Bush (W's little brother) and Wirt Walker ... Marvin left in 2000, Walker left Secuarcom on 9/10/01 ... hmmm - coincidence - the day before 9/11 ?
The firm was finacially backed by an investment firm, the Kuwaiti-American corporation..
do your research people ! why don't we hear about these things in the mainstream press ?
I stand with you, so come on board - feel free to attack me too.

WOW. You really can see it, even in the most fuzzy YouTube video imaginable.

No lies. Go check it out in every single WTC collapse video you can find. Wow.
Posted by king77shaw at 12:25 PM : May 24, 2007
OK, I'll do that and see for myself. And if the video(s) will convince me, then to hell with Bush's Admin!
My intent is not to make you sad. It is to make you open your mind to other possibilities. Has the nonsense you have been hearing from Bush for the past 6 years made you sad? If so, it shouldn't make you sad, it should make you madder than h*ll.

Sign this Appeal.
This site is an Appeal For Redress in support of our mission in Iraq.
An Appeal For Redress is an authorized means for active duty military to submit a grievance to Congress. It can be signed by Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard military personnel.
It is authorized by DoD Directive 1325.6 and DoD Directive 7050.6.
The wording of the Appeal for Redress is:
As an American currently serving my nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to fully support our mission in Iraq and halt any calls for retreat. I also respectfully urge my political leaders to actively oppose media efforts which embolden my enemy while demoralizing American support at home. The War in Iraq is a necessary and just effort to bring freedom to the Middle East and protect America from further attack.
If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.
Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.
This Appeal will be delivered to members of Congress.

Here is the end of your argument.
I would like you, or any other "believer" to take me to a point in time BEFORE the event- 9-11-01.
Please give details as to the plan, not the people, but the plan to commit the greatest crime of ALL times.
Let's start with the WTC hit. The date, for the sake of this discussion is ONE year before. You and I are planning the event with 10 other planners...got it so far?
Now walk me through the planning stages of HOW you are going to fly two airplanes into the WTC towers AFTER months of rigging them with explosives, and do all of this under the nose of hundreds of thousands of people undetected.
Now remember, we are in the planning stage. YOU cannot play this game knowing what you know NOW. You have to plan this, obviously using thousands of participants, being skillful enough to remain undetected for over a year and then pull it off in front of millions of witnesses.
Now tell me truthfully, looking at this from the planning stage, HOW MANY VARIABLES WOULD YOU HAVE TO COVER TO PULL THIS OFF UNDETECTED?
I won't hold my breath.
dnc are like john adams and want to give the jihadist their lunch money hoping they will leave us alone....
gop are like thomas jefferson and want to spend their lunch money on weapons and go kick the jihadists in their arses.....
What Thomas Jefferson learned from the Muslim book of jihad
Thomas Jefferson knew about fascist nazi islam..... he killed plenty of them....
In 1786 Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman or (Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). They asked him by what right he extorted money and took slaves. Jefferson reported to Secretary of State John Jay, and to the Congress:
The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven.[1]

I assume that you either work or go to school or a combination of both. Maybe your unemployed.
Again, for the sake of this experiment, let's use work. Get five of your best friends and have meeting. Share with them that you are planning on blowing up your place of work. Give details...like stuff you can find on the internet.
Don't act mad, just determined. Ask one of them for help in staking out the building and looking for the placement of explosives.
After an hour's worth of planning, tell them that you change your mind and that this won't work anyways. Then break up the meeting.
How long do you think it will take before YOU get a visit from your boss or the police?
That is just 5 people.
According to your theory TENS OF THOUSANDS would have to be complicit in the event.
Sorry. Game over.

NOW CAN WE KILL THEM???
if it is ok for fascist nazi islamic muslims to kill all non muslims everywhere.... is it ok for the non muslims to kill all fascist nazi islamic muslims???
Switching Sides: Inside The Enemy Camp
But then in 2000, well before his arrest, something happened which would make Abas question everything he believed in: a fatwa, a religious edict, was issued by Osama bin Laden.
"It should be understood that killing Americans and Jews anywhere found are the highest act of worship and the highest form of good deeds in the eyes of Allah," Simon quotes bin Laden.
Abas and his fellow commanders were ordered to read the fatwa to their men and make sure they carried it out. The others obeyed, but Abas refused. It was his moment of truth. He firmly believed that jihad was to be fought only on the battlefield in defense of Islam; he had always been taught that the killing of civilians had nothing to do with holy war and that it was forbidden.
The fatwa justified killing non-Muslim civilians everywhere.

Leftist Support of Islamist Terror
Most shocking is the outright sympathy of many leftist-liberals for Islamic fascism. They said little about the murder of 500 Russian civilians, many of them children, but screamed week after week because some Arab savage at Abu Ghraib prison wore a bag on his head. They cared nothing about the beheadings committed by the Islamo-savages or the execution of 12 Nepalese. David Horowitz gives an excellent discussion of who this "Left" really is. He calls them neo-communist, I call them Leftist-Liberals. I'm a classical Liberal myself and I feel it's time to remove this irrational element that has been allowed to poison our good name.

I do believe Bin Laden planned and executed the Twin Tower attacks. I also believe that intelligence sources (Mossad, CIA etc.) knew of the plan months in advance - much evidence supporting prior knowledge - this would have given ample time for the towers to be wired for demolition - the buildings coming down as opposed to just being hit it would serve several purposes: 1) the shock value of collapse would give greater support to the global, oil-based, neo-con agenda we're currently seeing in action - PNAC (a neo-con think tank which included Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Bill Krystol, J Bush, Cheney and Perle etc) were pushing for a new Pearl Harbor after Gulf war 1. These names became major players in the Bush admin 2) it wouldn't take "thousands", just several of the right people in the right place at the right time - Silverstein getting the WTC lease 7 weeks beforehand, Marvin Bush and Wirt Walker heading Securacom to oversee security at the WTC - Rumsfeld (started his own parallel intelligence service) and Cheney (took control of NORAD) bear weight on the CIA, Michael Chertoff as attorney general of NYC (detaining and releasing multiple Mossad agents on 9/11 who were acting suspiciously - celebrations, trace explosives hmmm?) 3)the twin towers were losing money, they were low-tech, outdated and loaded with asbestos.
- again this is hypothesis - but what isn't hypothesis is a scientific look at how the twin towers fell - they had to have help.

Sorry Junior, you are artfully dodging my questions.
YOU are filling in the blanks from the rear view mirror. A first year architecture student can explain how and why the buildings came down like they did. There is NOTHING remarkable about this...BY ANY MEASURE.
Again, take me back to the planning stages.
If you think that the people listed could have pulled this off just to go to Iraq, and all the events "just" happened the way they did, then I'm not surprised you are getting sucked into Alex Jones' world. When Jones is pinned on the planning, he folds like a house of cards.
What you are NOT answering is: what would have been the consequences of the plan FAILING. That had to be part of the planning process. The collapse of the US government...now that would be worth the risk (sic).
If you analysis all the variables that needed to be executed flawlessly, on a mathematical basis, the odds of success would astronomical.
YOU are giving people much more credit than they deserve.
There again, it gives some people (you) a way of dealing of the randomness of life (and death).
If it makes you feel better, then you and your thoughts are good therapy.
If you care to look deeper, the simple answer is always the scariest.
Good luck.
It doesn't really take much investigation to discover facts that totally discredit the official myth. Start from the beginning: The term "Al Caida" was coined by the CIA; it means "the data base". Bin Laden was controlled as a CIA operative, had handlers assigned to him - this is all verifiable history. Bush tried to link Bin Laden to 9/11, said evidence would be forthcoming, then changed his tune and said he "no longer cared about him".
Are people really stupid enough to go along with attacking Iraq because of something Bin Laden alledgedly planned, and Saudi nationals appeared to carry out? Duh! We have out nationalities blurred a bit, wouldn't you say? Bush said we would track down those responsible - what ever happened to that?
The Neocons have whipped up a hate-and-fear mongering campaign against Islam in order to justify sending troops into a senseless meat grinder. Can't you see that was the plan all along, to support their radical geopolitical strategy? Create a climate of fear so that normal rational discourse is suspended. Unfortunately for Mr. Bush, even his own party is about to turn against him. Seems that there will be another election in a couple years, and they are looking ahead and getting concerned.
"If you care to look deeper, the simple answer is always the scariest."

The consequences of the plan failing would have been the Bush administration claming that they foiled a huge terror plot!! It was a win win situation for them either way!
Sure, 2500 lives were lost at ground zero, but more than 3000 have been lost in Iraq, and check out how much the Bush administration cares. With a nationwide population over 30 million, they really don't. In their eyes there will always be another person willing to fill the void.
Ans as far as the simple answer - the one that doesn't require asking deep questions - that answer is, "The terrorists did it."
Bush and Cheney lie - the scientific formula for acceleration due to gravity doesn't.
Freedom of speech does not give one the right to yell "Fire" in a crowded building
1) Saddam Hussein tried to have his father killed. That would be motivation enough for any one person.
2) High hopes of controlling the majority of the world's oil supply.
Remember - his presidency may end in 2009, but he will always have the same father, and he will always be a member of the oil industry elite.
