Where Did the Towers Go? Evidence of Directed Free-energy Technology on 9/11
This book is a forensic analysis of what effectively is a crime scene. Ground Zero and the surrounding areas were photographed countless thousands of times, yet no one really assessed all of the phenomena found in these photographs. What is presented in this book is not a theory and it is not speculation. It is evidence. It is the body of empirical evidence that must be explained in order to determine what happened at Ground Zero.Anyone declaring who did what or how they did it before they have determined what was done is merely promoting either speculation or propaganda. The popular chant, "9/11 was an inside job," is, scientifically speaking, no different from the chant that "19 bad guys with box cutters did it." Neither one is the result of a scientific investigation supported by evidence that would be admissible in court. Neither identifies what crime was committed or how it was committed.The order of crime solving is to determine1) WHAT happened, then2) HOW it happened (e.g., what weapon), then3) WHO did it. And only then can we address4) WHY they did it (i.e. motive).Let us remember what is required to (legally) convict someone of a crime. You cannot convict someone of a crime based on belief. You cannot convict someone of a crime if you don't even know what crime to charge them with. If you accuse someone of murder using a gun, you'd better be sure the body has a bullet hole in it. Yet, before noon on 9/11/01, we were told who did it, how they did it, and why they did it (they hate us for our freedoms); before any investigation had been conducted to determine what had even been done.Many people have speculated as to who committed the crimes of 9/11 and/or how they did so. But without addressing what happened, speculation of this kind is nothing more than conspiracy theory. My research is not speculation. It is a forensic investigation of what happened to the WTC complex on 9/11.

About the author
Judy D. Wood
2 books20 followersDr. Judy D. Wood is a former professor of mechanical engineering with research interests in experimental stress analysis, structural mechanics, optical methods, deformation analysis, and the materials characterization of biomaterials and composite materials. She is a member of the Society for Experimental Mechanics (SEM), co-founded SEM’s Biological Systems and Materials Division, and has served on the SEM Composite Materials Technical Division.
Dr. Wood received her
* B.S. (Civil Engineering, 1981) (Structural Engineering),
* M.S. (Engineering Mechanics (Applied Physics), 1983), and
* Ph.D. (Materials Engineering Science, 1992) from the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Her dissertation involved the development of an experimental method to measure thermal stresses in bimaterial joints. She has taught courses including
* Experimental Stress Analysis,
* Engineering Mechanics,
* Mechanics of Materials (Strength of Materials)
* Strength of Materials Testing
Is this what Eisenhower warned us of?
Where did the building go?
Figure 1. My intellectual integrity prevents me from calling this a collapse. This is why I have chosen to stand up. My conscience leaves me no other choice.
From 1999 to 2006 Dr. Wood has been an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. Before moving to Clemson she spent three years as a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Tech.
One of Dr. Wood's research interests is biomimicry, or applying the mechanical structures of biological materials to engineering design using engineering materials. Other recent research has investigated the deformation behavior of materials and structures with complex geometries and complex material properties, such as fiber-reinforced composite materials and biological materials. Dr. Wood is an expert in the use of moiré interferometry, a full-field optical method that is used in stress analysis, as well as materials characterization and other types of interference. In recent years, Dr. Wood and her students have developed optical systems with various wavelengths and waveguides. Dr. Wood has over 60 technical publications in refereed journals, conference proceedings, and edited monographs and special technical reports.
Dr. Wood started to question the events of 9/11 on that same day when what she saw and heard on television was contradictory and appeared to violate the laws of physics. Since that day she has used her knowledge of engineering mechanics to prove that the collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers could not have happened as the American public was told.

You only have to read to page 24 to know beyond any doubt that you are reading a planet shifting publication. You have enough evidence to convince a jury that the official accounting of 9/11 is impossible. Dr. Judy Wood has given us a key to unlocking our future. Starting with the evidence she's gathered in this book we can begin to push for answers and more importantly accountability for that day. Now it's only a matter of time before everyone becomes aware of a painful truth.

My biggest surprise in reading this book is that after 11 years of my interest in this subject, that there could be one book with so much startling and at the same time completely credible new information. I now believe it to be the MOST important book written about the events of that tragic day, and recommend it thoroughly to anyone who is either a student of history, or who wants to be aware of what is really going on in the world. The ramifications of the empirical evidence revealed by Dr Judy Wood (the ONLY scientist, by the way, to have done a full forensic investigation of the disappearance of the buildings on 911) are life AND world changing.

This is a book with far-reaching implications...and that is an understatement. Painstakingly researched and documented with endless photographs (many of which i had never seen) and diagrams, this is a 'textbook' education. It's a $40 hardcover but luckily my library had it in the Business and Technology section. Absolutely a World Changing Book. It's been 10 years since we were sucker-punched by those in power. The "9-11 Truth" movement has been fully infiltrated, divided, undermined and neutralized. Since this book convincingly refutes the 'explosives' theory of collapse it has not been embraced by those who should be the most receptive. In fact, the author (despite impeccable credentials and a lifetime of applicable experience) has been attacked and ostracized for following scientific truth wherever it leads. She is working on a second book and I can't wait.
-------------------------------------------
Well, it's been a few years and I have to say that my opinions about this book (and Ms Wood) have changed. If you want to read a fairly concise rebuttal of her major points check this out: https://newslog.cyberjournal.org/arch...
Or try this thought experiment... if a DEW were used on the twin towers, why was Building 7 brought down with explosives in the conventional fashion? (And yes, that assertion is absolutely inarguable.) Why not aim the weapon a hundred yards over and give Building 7 the same treatment?
It's not that I think the "official story" has any credence whatsoever (does anyone but my grandmother still believe that a few fires caused those buildings to explode so dramatically?) We don't NEED a laser weapon to account for what happened! Furthermore, Dr Wood's hypothesis ignored evidence that didn't fit and instead muddied the waters unnecessarily, causing yet more division among those who were seeking truth. Unfortunately, that may have been the intent.

This book does not address any WHO or WHY questions.
This book simply asks, WHAT happened on September 11, 2001?
Dr. Wood argues that neither the official story nor theories of so-called 9/11 Truthers such as controlled demolition, thermite, etc can explain what we saw on that day.
Before reading this book I, finding the official story hard to believe, had been persuaded that some sort of controlled demolition took down the Twin Towers. Now I believe this theory to also be implausible. In my estimation this is the definitive book on the subject, raising questions that must be addressed before going any further.

This book is beyond bizarre and beyond interesting.
I must say that half of what the author says I don't agree with.
There were fires in both of the towers-there were eyewitnesses that saw them. Although the extent of the fires is unknown.
There were missiles or airplanes or something that hit the tower--there were about 1000 witnesses on the ground that saw this and they can't all be CIA plants.
It is interesting that the author spends very little time talking about either of these 2 points.
However, the second half of what the author says I totally agree with and she puts forward an absolutely devastating case for that.
In another book I have read on this subject, From Landfill to Hallowed Ground by Frank Marra, which is pretty much an establishment book, he raises the point of what happened to all the telephones in the building?
Let me quote from that book " The victims who have yet to be found will be spoken about in the same conversations about where all the furniture, computers, telephones, and filing cabinets were. Most of these items were just pulverized or vaporized. I know how hard that has to be for someone to accept but I feel that all these years later it is the best explanation. On assignment at the Landfill for the six months, I never personally observed any mounds of office furniture or computers or filing cabinets. I would think that two buildings, 110 stories each, would produce some of these items, but from what I remember maybe a sifter would find a telephone keypad. I don't recall more than that."
The above book is pretty much an establishment book and yet the author brings up these points.
The powers that be, of course, have never really answered these questions.

Most people, even people that read good books, refuse to consider anything but the official story that fire and aluminum planes brought down two of the strongest buildings in the world. They won't even consider the event from a purely scientific aspect - it's just too much for them. Let them take comfort in their cozy notion that the bad guys are always on the other side.
This book presents a great deal of very compelling circumstantial, and other more concise scientific evidence that disproves the prevailing explosives collapse theory. The catch is: that Dr. Wood concludes that the various destructive phenomenon of the materials at the WTC site have never been seen before. She thinks that they're the result of a new weapon that harnesses and perfects certain theories first explored by Nikola Tesla, involving existing energy fields. The DOD has been developing direct energy weapons(DEW) for several decades, and Rumsfeld and Gen. Myers were even asked about their use in the post 9-11 war on Iraq, by an NBC reporter. They nervously evaded the question.
Needless to say, Dr. Wood's theory leaves her vulnerable to ridicule about "space beams." Well, ridicule is the mother's milk of politics and her detractors can't reasonably negate her theories with science, so they turn to political smear tactics. Even the people who tried to negate the explosives collapse theory failed. The author and editor Eric Larsen, who wrote the foreword, calls the book the most important of the 21st century, and broadly speaking, I'd have to agree.

“Empirical evidence is the truth that theory must mimic.”
August 9, 2021
To be absolutely honest, this is the Greatest Book of the 21st Century. I don't want to go into to much length about it, as you just need to buy it and read from cover to cover all 500 pages. It will blow your mind and fully explain what happened that day and also highlight what will also no doubt happen again in the future. I for one can now except what was done and piece together all the bits of evidence like: why there was so much dust, grey and black smoke, how the vehicles were rusty and half burnt, why the marble on the walls went away and why thousands of toilets and filing cabinets vanished ! More importantly how did two massive office towers with heights of 1368 ft (WTC 1) & 1362 ft (WTC 2) disappear to ground level in under 10 seconds, leaving a debris pile no higher than the lobby!?
Where did the towers go ?
Dr. Judy Wood, B.S. M.S. Ph.D. The only person to have carried out a true investigation.

I held off on getting into the 911 Conspiracy mire until this book. It is like a text book, has lots of graphs and pictures of Ground Zero. It makes a very scientific case that fire was NOT the cause of the collapse of three buildings and partial destruction of several adjacent buildings but that some "other" mechanism was at work.
Bottom line it makes the case that the buildings were essentially disintigrated from the top down. Sounds crazy, and there is no known device to point to that could do this...but that does not change the fact that the "a fire melted some i-beams and the towers fell down" theory is completely rediculous.
If not for the science, or the theory, buy the book for the many, many color pictures, graphs and descriptions of what happened that day. It really will increase your knowledge of what happened on 911.

Fantastic reading. Lots of insight . This is a book that takes you to a deeper understanding of the truths behind that shattering day that has marked history forever. Very different spin and theories that help you dig for yourself. Very thought provoking. Took month to get thru, but was worth the read.

Answers the question, What really happened on that day? I see the world differently now. Only a very powerful book can do that.

Absolutely mind-blowing presentation of fact over fiction.

Like everyone old enough to watch the news back then, I remember where I was on 9/11/2001. Even though I was a kid, I somehow sensed that it would change the world. More than 20 years later, I think it is fair to say that 9/11 did just that: the longest war in American history and the Patriot Act are just two of the things that it spawned. So of course this tragedy would become a focus of conspiracy theorists. The events of that day left us scarred as a nation and caused many of us to ask "why?"
9/11 conspiracies run the gamut of believability. At one end, there's the highly plausible theory that the FBI and the federal government knew what was to happen yet allowed it, since it gave a pretense for war - it wasn't an "inside job" so much as they were happy to see it happen. There's the classic line "jet fuel can't melt steel beams," recited by those who believe the collapse of the towers was a controlled demolition. And then there's more obscure and frankly bizarre theories like the idea that there were no planes at all, it was all some kind of Project Bluebeam hologram. Some say that 9/11 was a demonic ritualistic blood sacrifice.
I had thought that Dr Judy Wood's theory of dustification would fall on the wacky end of 9/11 conspiracy theories. But I had to know why an engineer would believe something so outrageous. After reading the book, I see that Dr Wood is not crazy. Her idea is not wacky. I'm actually gobsmacked at how much sense it made. If I had to describe this book in one word, it would be "shocking."
What I liked
visuals
The book is packed with diagrams, mathematical equations, and color photographs. It would probably be a more comfortable experience to read the physical version, but all I could get my hands on was a PDF. The visuals help make the book more digestible.
writing style
Dr Wood never names the device she believes destroyed the towers. This book is not about that. Rather, it lays out evidence. She points out many different things that seemingly do not align with the official story - nor with other theories, like controlled demolition or mini nukes. And there is a lot of evidence.
Each chapter and claim is backed up by pages of sources, quotes from relevant sources, and math. There's also the website companion to the book: https://www.drjudywood.com/towers/ind...
Dr Wood's writing style is very clear. She is good at explaining the evidence and her beliefs.
the evidence
The book starts off with what I would call trivialities. Some of the evidence here includes things like victims in the towers apparently taking off items of clothing. Dr Wood speculates that people may have been wet, either because of sweating or the sprinkler system. Being wet increases the pain associated with being inside a microwave field. She quotes from an article about Active Denial Systems: "Wet clothing might sound like a good defense, but tests showed that contact with damp cloth actually intensified the effects of the beam" (page 32). This is the source of that quote: https://www.wired.com/2006/12/say-hel...
For me, this particular piece of evidence feels trivial because of the amount of guesswork involved. Many of the pictures are too blurry to say for sure if someone is undressing, and in one case, too far away for me to determine if a person is even present (Figure 28 on page 30).
However, there are many more interesting and shocking pieces of evidence in this book. Three that stood out to me were:
The bathtub. It is interesting to note how little damage there was to the bathtub, which was essentially the bedrock foundation the towers were built on. Its purpose was to prevent flooding from the Manhattan River. It seems plausible that a gravity driven collapse (as the official story claims) or an explosion (such as many conspiracy theorists believe) would cause significant damage to the bathtub, perhaps even flooding the city. Many people expressed fear that the bathtub might be damaged. The BBC is quoted as saying in part: "Engineers are warning that the walls of a giant concrete box, 20 metres deep, which acted as the foundations of the World Trade Center, are in danger of collapse." There's a way more to this apparent inconsistency laid out in the book.
The particles. Chapter 15 dives into an analysis - filled with graphs and pictures - of the particles floating in the air after the towers were destroyed. In addition to demonstrating how the buildings turned to dust (in her opinion), she also shows how the particles were extremely fine - around the size of DNA. These iron rich particles were very small, but why? She believes that if iron were hot enough to have melted, it would have ended up sticking together "in larger blobs of material" (page 334). The conclusion she reaches is that the dust is molecularly dissociated. She says that this is likely "the result of another mechanism of destruction than one caused by burning fuel or controlled demolition, for those mechanisms cannot bring about molecular dissociation and the almost complete dustification of a building. Molecular dissociation occurs with ionization and is seen in cold fusion."
The hurricane. I didn't know there had been a hurricane on 9/11. Seeing the path it took was very shocking: it took a 90 degree turn to get away from New York City. I don't know enough about hurricanes to say if that is natural and normal or not. But what a coincidence for a hurricane to narrowly miss New York City on the day of the terrorist attacks.
These three really shocked me as I read the book, but there is a lot of other compelling evidence: huge amounts of unburned paper, weird fires, building fragments disintegrating with nothing touching them, toasted cars that are burned on one end and like new on the other, survivor accounts of the dust cloud being cool rather than hot, flipped over cars, and much more.
What I was ambivalent about
lots of math
I am not a mathy person, so sometimes I glossed over all the physics and such. I don't know a lot about math or engineering, so I can't say for certain if I agree with her conclusions simply because I can't easily fact check them. That aspect definitely makes this book something to study rather than something to just read through.
Hutchison Effect
On page 356, Dr Wood says "My looking at the characteristics of the Hutchison Effect must not be taken as synonymous with my arguing that it is the exact device responsible for the mechanism of the WTC destruction. I use the Hutchison Effect as an illustrative example or model of the kinds of known extraordinary effects can result from electromagnetic interference." It's a bit of a misnomer since the purported "effect" is actually a collection of many different effects including:
- levitation of heavy objects
- fusion of dissimilar materials such as metal and wood
- anomalous melting of metals without burning adjacent material
- spontaneous fracturing of metals
- temporary and permanent changing in crystalline structure and physical properties
That's quite a list. But is the Hutchison Effect real? While trying to look into it, all I could find were debunking articles; random, unrelated things; and Hutchison's own grainy and dubious videos. However, Dr Wood does provide links to more information on it, which I have not yet dug into.
According to the book and a few scant Youtube videos I managed to dredge up, John Hutchison is a Canadian amateur scientist/inventor who accidentally discovered the effect while trying to duplicate one of Tesla's experiments.
Hutchison has claimed that he received visits from government officials and demonstrated his work to other scientists. Whether you believe it is up to you. Personally, I'm skeptical, but other kinds of direct energy technology could be possible.
In this chapter, Dr Wood also provides a coherent explanation for tritium found in the World Trade Center ruins.
Conclusion
This book is a must read for those who are interested in conspiracy theories or who seek another perspective on 9/11. Go in with an open mind - you may find that your view changes a little. Be aware that this book does include some images which are painful for those of us impacted by that day. Particularly, chapter 3 includes images of people who jumped/fell from the towers.

That aspect definitely makes this book something to study rather than something to just read through.
Hutchison Effect
On page 356, Dr Wood says "My looking at the characteristics of the Hutchison Effect must not be taken as synonymous with my arguing that it is the exact device responsible for the mechanism of the WTC destruction. I use the Hutchison Effect as an illustrative example or model of the kinds of known extraordinary effects can result from electromagnetic interference." It's a bit of a misnomer since the purported "effect" is actually a collection of many different effects including:
- levitation of heavy objects
- fusion of dissimilar materials such as metal and wood
- anomalous melting of metals without burning adjacent material
- spontaneous fracturing of metals
- temporary and permanent changing in crystalline structure and physical properties
That's quite a list. But is the Hutchison Effect real? While trying to look into it, all I could find were debunking articles; random, unrelated things; and Hutchison's own grainy and dubious videos. However, Dr Wood does provide links to more information on it, which I have not yet dug into.
According to the book and a few scant Youtube videos I managed to dredge up, John Hutchison is a Canadian amateur scientist/inventor who accidentally discovered the effect while trying to duplicate one of Tesla's experiments.
Hutchison has claimed that he received visits from government officials and demonstrated his work to other scientists. Whether you believe it is up to you. Personally, I'm skeptical, but other kinds of direct energy technology could be possible.
In this chapter, Dr Wood also provides a coherent explanation for tritium found in the World Trade Center ruins.
Conclusion
This book is a must read for those who are interested in conspiracy theories or who seek another perspective on 9/11. Go in with an open mind - you may find that your view changes a little. Be aware that this book does include some images which are painful for those of us impacted by that day. Particularly, chapter 3 includes images of people who jumped/fell from the towers.

I was skeptical about this book when a friend from work loaned me his copy and insisted that I read it. We all know what happened, right? Wrong! This is not the crazy conspiracy theory book that I was afraid it would be. Instead, it is a detailed scientific analysis and debunking of the "official" explanation of how the WTC buildings collapsed on 9/11. The reality of how the towers were destroyed is even more frightening and consequential than the the "Islamic Terrorist" story that we were sold. Every American needs to read this book.

Once one looks at the evidence that Dr. Wood puts-forth in this book it is too hard for me to believe much of the official line. This is not a conspiracy book, it's a highly researched thought provoking book that makes sense as to many of the anomalies she points out. Admittedly, I do not understand all the math formulas but I'm glad she uses her physics background to prove to those who do that the official story just doesn't add up and in fact, is physically impossible.
Read and learn about one of the most important events in our lifetime.

Just stunning. An incredibly detailed review of the evidence. If you come away after reading this book still believing in the story provided by the government then I’d be amazed.
The book is an easy read but there are diagrams, tables and charts to back up her conclusions.
The book doesn’t answer who was responsible but simply shows that the government conclusion is factually and demonstrably not true.
Totally recommended!

Frightening tale as the author debunks the official reasons given for the fall of the towers, she explains that not even a pool ball could have fall as fast as far as the towers fell. Provides, charts, graphs, interviews, photos, and comparisons. Frightening and insightful.

It is time the truth comes out. The lie ruled long enough. The 911 commission could not proof the
conspiracy theory of the American government. We were all deceived and the US gave us all a large trauma and an angst towards Muslims.

Just look at the evidence. There were so many unanswered questions and discrepancies that made no sense. Dr. Wood doesn’t tell you what happened, just what didn’t based on evidence.

"Empirical evidence is the truth that theory must mimic."
Parts of this book were heartbreaking, enlightening, mind boggling and challenging. A must read.

There are several TV programmes disclosing the three-dimensional holograms @ ground zero---what is an otherworldly and inexplicably unconscionable is the global somnambulism and quietism that has saturated the humanoid circuitry---it appears that some type of Hollywood special effects---like Speilberg's Jurassic Park CGI---has been introduced upon what is loosely termed "reality".
I am at a dreadful loss to comprehend the level of insouciance that had been disclosed at every level of "society"---which I have renamed Tommy-Land as in the rock-opera by The Who in which "Tommy" is deaf dumb and blind---I am writing endlessly about my own metaphysical awakenings with regards to the sacred teachings of Dr Wood---I have taken this opportunity to ascend into a personal pilgrimage that has involved turning away from the Viper-Pit and realising a sovereign inner-space---whilst the likes of Musk et al are enjoying their peurile fantasies of stirring the Tommy-Land/Viper-Pit into an ever spiralling, melodramatic and engineered soap-opera clown-show I am attempting to realise my own fantasy of acquiring my UFO pilot license---slightly more adventurous than just making it to Mars---which is in Slough UK.

If you want to find the truth about 9/11 this is a can't miss book. Dr. Woods evidence of the use of a Directed Energy Weapon is irrefutable. Now with the evidence of such weapons being used in the recent Southern California fires and Maui, her book becomes even more relevant. She takes the high road. She basically says: if we have the use of Directed Energy Weapons then, obviously we have the technology for free energy devices, so why not develop such devices.

My first long running rabbit hole. I don't believe we will get good answers to the reality of what happened 9/11, But Dr Wood asks more of the telling questions that may lead to true understanding. I know, I know; Mainstream popular thought states conspiracy theory, then dismisses. Dr Wood sticks to good observations and good question. I applaud her tenacity on staying a true course. Read and judge for yourself. (Don't prejudge per the current American way.)
