I, too, requested information on this from Dr Seffon, but I received no reply:

Quote:
Dear Dr Seffen,

I would greatly appreciate a copy of your paper on the collapse of the three towers of the World Trade Centre.

Also, I would be happy to receive a copy of the press release that the BBC report was based on.

Regards,

Ian Fantom
Information Scientist (with Physics) MSc x 3.


I sent that on 12 September.

His contact details are: # Department Address: University of Cambridge, Department of Engineering, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1PZ
# kas14@cam.ac.uk

I've just come across this, but couldn't get to the original article of June 27 2000 in Education Guardian:
Quote:
Call to Reveal Masonic Links

Guardian (Education, p9)
Article suggesting that any freemasons on university governing committees should identify themselves.

I have also requested on 12th and 23rd October, sight of his "paper" and calculations, and sent a third e-mail request today. Not even had an acknowledgement from him.

I'm afraid that I am viewing Seffen's claim to be probably fraudulent. The ball is in his court, but he is, in my opinion, bringing the scientific community and Cambridge University into disrepute.

And again today:

Quote:
Dear Dr Seffen,

I wrote to you on 12 September, 2007, requesting a copy of your paper on 9/11. Obviously you have not been able to deal with that yet.

I am sure that you will appreciate the importance of at least some statement on this, since the press release was timed for articles to appear on the sixth anniversary of 9/11, and there is now talk of this being some sort of hoax.

The issue is also urgent, since many now believe that the official conspiracy theory was fraudulent, and there are calls for a reopening of the 9/11 investigation, or for a completely new international investigation.

I understand that peer review can take some time, but I should have expected at least an article in Popular Mechanics by now, with some explanation of the events leading to the press release.

Yours sincerely,

Ian Fantom

Thanks Spiv, that may well be another useful avenue we could look into.
contacting the University with a complaint against the good doctor may get results?

This I think, is related to the thread subject . Something Webster Tarpley said at St.John's church last night made me think, to the effect that steel framed buildings like the twin towers are heat sinks taking heat away from the kerosene and office contents fires heat sources further depleting the alleged heat weakening claimed by Seffen and other official CT-ers.

Sheriton, you are quite right here, steel is a conductor of heat, a fact I've also long argued, and one reason I look forward to Seffen's calculations, assuming they exist, which is looking very unlikely.

But nevertheless, the final incontrovertible proof which completely destroys the arguments of 'fire weakening the steel' (and I don't wish to start the eternal argument on this thread about this, as the thread is about Seffen and the BBC), is the fact that firefighters (and witnesses like William Rodriguez) can testify that they were in the building and lived to tell the tale, so the heat was certainly within human survival ranges. In addition, there is a very famous image on the Internet which shows a person waving from one of the gashes caused by the plane, so refuting the 'fuel fire caused extreme heat' hypothesis.

Now, and rather unfortunately, you won't see that photograph on the BBC propaganda machine, I'll bet on that!!

And as regards Bongo's comment above, can the academics on this site just confirm that the Universities which employ their lecturers be vicariously connected with the claims of their academics? Because, if not, then my belief is that Cambridge will simply 'disconnect' themselves from the claim by Seffen, so getting around the problem, but this 'disconnection' will then just be kept quiet. However, I do believe it is worth pursuing, if only to flush Seffen out of his silence.

Ah, but who sent that press release out? They have to carry the can for this, especially considering the timing.

Is that traceable?

Remarkable how 'Newspapers' in the back of beyond (mentioned in the above link) have covered this dissinformation, as has our own media.
I hope none of you run away with the idea that they are CIA assets!

If anyone has time they may find a copy of the article in Public Library archives (or perhaps even the Guardian archives themselves, if they live or work near Farringdon Street).

Look forward to reading the paper when it comes out - the BBC
is paid money to educate and inform , not just entertain !

We insist our propoganda be accurately written.

Dont forget to vote for winter patriots blog in weblog awards 2007 - as requested by winter patriot - the blog is currently the leader.

New E-mail sent tonight in order to provide them with the opportunity to respond...

Quote:
Dear Mr Seffen (and Cambridge University Press),

I still await your response to my E-Mails regarding the reported (On the BBC website... ie. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6987965.stm) publication of your paper regarding the collapse of the north and south WTC buildings (Entitled ,'Progressive Collapse of the World Trade Centre: a Simple Analysis'). A response to my (and many others) previous questions would be much appreciated, as I am keen to review your research (purely on an Engineering basis), as a professional engineer wishing to gain more knowledge of a subject which I have been studying for over five years.

Also, Regards Tom Kirk, I would wish to request a response from the communications office of the University of Cambridge (tdk25@admin.cam.ac.uk) on whether Cambridge University (in it's legal sense), sponsors, supports or indeed holds the views of Dr Keith Seffen as it's own, and indeed, on whether you know of anyone who has peer reviewed the reported paper?

I have been trying in vain to contact the right people at the university and so far have been out of luck. I look forward to someone responding to this E-Mail in order that I may gain the information I am searching and I hope that the University and Dr K seffen are able to communicate on a level commensurate with that which is expected from the scientific community in this most urgent of matters?

I look forward to your response.

Regards,

Brian McHugh


It is important to remember that we do not attack them and indeed we, give them every opportunity to respond before we consider our next move.

Regards,

Brian.

"The World Trade Centre towers were designed to absorb an aircraft impact but an accidental one with much less fuel and speed," he said.

This guy is a pathetic apologist and, as a scientist, if he told the truth should be utterly ashamed of himself!

Haven't heard from him yet, have just written snail mail to the Communications Office at Cambridge University requesting I be sent a copy of Dr Seffen's 'peer reviewed paper'. If and when it is received, I'll be more than happy to pass it to Gordon Ross for his critique.

Of course, it must always be remembered that Dr Seffen may have cracked it and be proved right Shocked

I have been told by the university that it should be no problem to get me a copy of Dr Seffens paper further to it being published. apparently the current situation is that the paper is approved for publishing, but at a time not as yet specified.

I picked up on that too Wokeman - it can hardly be encouraging for supporters of the OCT who seem to be sweaty plamed at the prospect of this paper that this claim is the complete reverse of the truth -

707s carry WAY MORE fuel and could fly FASTER - it's almost embarrassing for him - you'd think that if he chose his claims by flipping a coin he'd get at least one right by the law of probability.

What kind of science has this guy been cooking up when he couldn't be bothered with a 5 minute google search on plane specs before giving a press release out?

He could have just said "a small one" and at least been close to the truth.

Of course eading to the simple countering from us of:

A) Calculating the speed and weight of the plane it was designed to withstand an impact from - the kinetic impact is greater from a 707

B) It was bragged by one of the designers that each tower could take multiple impacts

C) NIST said themselves the towers dealt fine with the impact damage - so it's all down to the jet fuel

Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnddddddd

D) We're back to the fact that it was designed to take a far greater load of jet fuel than it in fact did.

OK Stefan, your point is taken. But let's be very calm, level headed and objective, and take a good look at his paper once it is released to the great unwashed, and once some fine brains have a good look at it.

Although I suspect this paper doesn't even exist, I also do not rule out the possibility that it does, and I also do not rule out the possibility that he may have cracked the explanations as to just how three towers collapsed the way they did, two from the top down and one from the bottom. I myself am doubtful he can explain mathematically, but also do not rule that out either.

But presumably no explanation? Keep the pressure up on the BBC, Cambridge and Steffen now. Four months is a hell of a long time given Iran, Syria and the 1,000,000+ deaths in Iraq since invasion, continueing at a merciless rate, and the slaughter in Afghanistan by 'stabilising' occupation forces (I don't know what the figures are there).
These War Criminal, Crimes Against Humanity and Crimes Against Peace apologists and Truth Deflectors are playing for time.
You guys are doing a hell of a good job exposing their diabolical Machiavellian machinations. There's no way they don't realise what they are doing. Don't let them off the hook for a moment.

THIS ISSUE GOES TO THE HEART OF THE COMPLETELY DISTORTED REPORTING BY THE MSM OF THE MONUMENTAL CRIMES COMMITTED BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND CRAVEN SUPPORTERS LIKE BLIAR.

spiv, you are actually saying it is possible Seffen can prove the impossible.

Such structures cannot fall in the manner and at the speed they did due to gravity - full stop. No ifs or buts.

Freefall = NO resistance

Pulverisation = MASSIVE resistance.

We can all see withour own eyes that is what happened so there MUST be an energy source other than gravity.

It really is as simple as that.

All the theoretical waffle in the world cannot change the reality so lets not give even the slightest credence to any potential dross that can only be an excercise in theory dealing with a non event.

No Brian, I'm saying that in making my request of both Seffen and Cambridge University I wish to retain a neutral manner and not prejudge his paper. Assuming that it exists, it should be judged once it has been studied by brains far smarter than ever mine could be, and analysed accordingly. If Seffen has made errors, either in his manner of computations or his parameters entered, then, and not before, will I decry his paper.

The only criticism I have of the man at present is that his findings seem to have been released to the World long before the paper has been published. Hence the BBC propaganda machine has been in a position to "announce" his "findings" to the World. Now why is that, I hasten to ask (a rhetorical question as I know the answer!!)?

spiv, what I am saying is that if, as we are led to believe, Seffen's paper explains the collapses as possible due to gravity then we can prejudge it.

It will be a paper saying the impossible is possible therefore just another contribution to the disinformation.

As I understand it the BBC originally reported that it had been published, then changed this to read "will be published".

Entirely possible to pre-judge based on all that we know Brian. Point taken.

I'm guessing here that Spiv, quite rightly, imo, chooses not to.

Very wise.

Mark, spiv goes further than that, by saying -

"..I also do not rule out the possibility that he may have cracked the explanations as to just how three towers collapsed the way they did, two from the top down and one from the bottom. I myself am doubtful he can explain mathematically, but also do not rule that out either."

- he is giving credence to the notion that there is a possible gravity collapse scenario explanation. There is not.

It is impossible and we need to be clear on this or those not familiar with evidence may be misled and confused.
