Einen Schritt weiter als die ‘Explosion=Sprengung’-Protagonisten gehen die Zweifler, die jede Aussage mit dem Schlüsselbegriff “Bombe” als Beleg für eine Sprengung werten. Einige Beispiele zeigen, wie irreführend auch das sein kann:
Ursache Erdbeben:
I heard this sound like a bomb had exploded. (Quelle)
For those of us inside a tall building during the earthquake, it sounded like a bomb went off inside the building. (Quelle)
it felt like a bomb explosion. i have never have experienced such an earth quake (Quelle)
The sound before the shaking was like a bomb explosion (Quelle)
I heard a sound, which concerned me because it sounded like the Murrah bombing. (Quelle)
thought it was a bomb or sonic boom. (Quelle)
Ursache Wirbelsturm:
There was a deep roaring sound, like a bomb raid (Quelle)
Ursache Gasexplosion:
TV host Larry King, who had been in his hotel room nearby, described the explosion to CNN as sounding like a bomb and feeling like an earthquake.

Ursache explodierender Transformator:
Then I heard the power transformer blow and it sounded like a bomb went off," Jill said. (Quelle)
Ursache zusammenstürzende Bahn-Baustelle:
I saw many women running out of their shops, she said. They said: Gas explosion! Run for your life. So I followed them. I thought it was a bomb.
(Quelle)
Ursache aufbrechender Abwasserkanal:
It sounded like a bomb was dropping. Boom!" (Quelle)
Ursache Überschallknall:
Residents thought the two blasts were bombs. “It was very loud and it sounded like a bomb, but it’s a false alarm,” a government spokesman said. (Quelle)
Ursache Verkehrsunfall:
A man who heard two SUV's collide Tuesday morning after one SUV slid out of control on a slushy road said the impact sounded like a bomb. (Quelle)
Ursache zusammenstürzende Betonbrücke
[...] when he heard a loud bang that sounded "like the explosion of a 50-kilogram bomb." (Quelle)
Ursache zusammenstürzender Baukran:
"It was the loudest noise I've heard," she said. "It sounded like a bomb." (Quelle)
Ursache brechende Stahlbolzen:
"It was like two bombs going off. It was like two explosions," Craig said. (Quelle) , Youtube-video (MPG), erklärende Animation
Ursache Flugzeug-Crash:
Eine Augenzeugin sagte: "Es hörte sich an wie eine Bombe. (Quelle; ebenfalls in diesem Artikel: Augenzeugen berichteten, in den oberen Stockwerken sei es zu mehreren Explosionen gekommen.)
Ursache abstürzende Fahrstühle:
It was like a bomb, not quite the sound of a bomb coming down from a bomber. It was a sound of wind increasing, a whistling sound, increasing in sound. (Quelle, der langjährige WTC-Fahrstuhl-Mechaniker Robert Jones gibt in dem Interview die Antwort zur Explosionsursache im Erdgeschoß)
MOSAIK911 will und kann mit diesen Hinweisen nicht die potentielle Ursache ‘Sprengladung’ ausschliessen. MOSAIK911 will lediglich verdeutlichen, daß die Fokussierung auf eine angebliche Ursache irreführend sein kann und die gebräuchliche Metapher “wie eine Bombe” mit kritischen Augen betrachtet werden muss.
Die Manipulation von “Bomben-Statements” bildet den nächsten Schritt bei der Instrumentalisierung von Zeugenaussagen. Das folgende Beispiel beschreibt einen unrühmlichen ‘Klassiker’ der Zweifler-Szene:
Eine Bombenstory wird mehrfach bearbeitet
Am 12. September wurde der Feuerwehrmann Louie Cacchioli während der Rettungseinsätze von einem Reporter des PEOPLE-Magazins interviewt. Folgendes Zitat kam dadurch in Umlauf:
I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there was bombs set in the building. (Quelle, PEOPLE Magazine vom 24.09.2001)
Das Zitat wurde zum festen Bestandteil der Beweisführung von Spreng-Theoristen. Nachfolgend einige Beispiele:
Whatreallyhappened / Serendipity / 911research.wtc7 / 911proof / 911review /
Propagandamatrix / Infowars / 911truther / Thetruthseeker / David Ray Griffin
Louie Cacchioli erklärt jedoch auf der eigenen Website, wie seine Beschreibung durch den PEOPLE-Reporter falsch wiedergegeben wurde:
In an effort to describe what he saw and heard, Louie mentioned that there were loud noises inside the North Tower that “sounded like bombs going off”. There was some confusion over what Louie had tried to explain and he was misquoted as having said: “We were the first ones in the second tower after the plane struck. I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the twenty-fourth-floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We think there was bombs set in the building.
Conspiracy theorists then used that quote as proof that 9/11 was an inside job. Since then, Louie has repeatedly tried to set the record straight that he was misquoted. (Quelle)
Demnach versucht Cacchioli den Sachverhalt klarzustellen, seitdem Verschwörungstheoretiker dieses mißverständliche Zitat als Beleg für einen ‘inside job’ verwenden. Es ist nicht verwunderlich, daß der instrumentalisierte Feuerwehrmann verärgert ist:
Originally, on September 12, 2001, People Magazine ran a few short paragraphs about the 20-year veteran New York fireman hearing what sounded like bombs exploding in the north tower.
Short and sweet, that was it. A few short words about bombs exploding, but words that were repeated over and over again in story after story by writers and broadcasters who never even bothered to talk to him in the first place.
Furthermore, Cacchioli was upset that People Magazine misquoted him, saying "there were bombs" in the building when all he said was he heard "what sounded like bombs" without having definitive proof bombs were actually detonated.
After that unfortunate journalistic blunder, a little angry and a little disgusted, he pretty much disappeared into the New York landscape, his story only appearing in an obscure book released called "American Spirit," and his 2004 testimony given in private to the 9/11 Commission never released to the public in the commission's final report. (Quelle, Archiv, Hervorhebung von mir)
Der hervorgehobene Teil dieses Artikels-Ausschnitts markiert einerseits den Ärger und die Klarstellung Cacchiolis bzgl. des “journalistischen Fehltritts”. Gleichzeitig demonstriert er die Methoden eines weiteren zentralen VT-Protagonisten. Der ARCTICBEACON-Artikel wurde nämlich am Folgetag von PRISONPLANET übernommen. In dieser Artikelversion fehlt jedoch die Gegendarstellung Cacchiolis - ein kompletter Satz und drei Worte des Folgesatzes sind plötzlich ‘verschwunden’:
Originally, on September 12, 2001, People Magazine ran a few short paragraphs about the 20-year veteran New York fireman hearing what sounded like bombs exploding in the north tower.
Short and sweet, that was it. A few short words about bombs exploding, but words that were repeated over and over again in story after story by writers and broadcasters who never even bothered to talk to him in the first place.
After that, a little angry and a little disgusted, he pretty much disappeared into the New York landscape, his story only appearing in an obscure book released called “American Spirit,” and his 2004 testimony given in private to the 9/11 Commission never released to the public in the commission’s final report.
Es handelt sich um eine Zitatfälschung, die ebenso dumm wie offensichtlich ist. Wie purer Hohn klingt vor diesem Hintergrund die Bezeichnung, unter der dieser Artikel bei PRISONPLANET abgelegt ist: ‘200705twistedwords.htm’
Twisted Words by Truthseekers
Der ARCTICBEACON-Artikels vom 19.07.2005 thematisiert auch die Verbitterung von Louie Cacchioli, die sich auf das Verhalten von Mitgliedern der 9/11-Commission bezieht:
My story was never mentioned in the final report and I felt like I was being put on trial in a court room," said Cacchioli. "I finally walked out. They were trying to twist my words and make the story fit only what they wanted to hear. All I wanted to do was tell the truth and when they wouldn't let me do that, I walked out. (Quelle)
Der Kontext dieser Bemerkung bleibt nebulös, denn es wird nicht erklärt, welche seine Worte verdreht wurden. Die spätere Aufklärung durch Cacchioli lässt vermuten, warum der Leser über den Hintergrund der Kontroverse im Unklaren gelassen wird:
In addition, he says he walked out of the interview with the 9/11 Commission in anger after a discussion about the effectivness of the radios and the evacuation order on September 11 - not because he raised the issue of bombs. (Debunking 9/11 Myths, S. 36)
Die Kontroverse hatte demnach nichts mit der Spreng-These der ‘Truthseeker’ zu tun - trotzdem fokussiert z.B. Theologie-Professor David Ray Griffin weiterhin auf ein einziges Thema und interpretiert alles um - siehe nachfolgende Überschrift:
Why Testimony about Explosions Has Not Become Public Knowledge
If so many witnesses reported effects that seemed to be produced by explosives, with some of them explicitly saying that the collapses appeared to be cases of controlled demolition, why is this testimony not public knowledge? Part of the answer, as I mentioned at the outset, is that the city of New York refused to release it until forced to do so by the highest court of the state of New York [...]
Firefighter Louie Cacchioli, who was quoted earlier, testified in 2004 to members of the Commissions staff. But, he reported, they were so unreceptive that he ended up walking out in anger. “I felt like I was being put on trial in a court room,” said Cacchioli. “They were trying to twist my words and make the story fit only what they wanted to hear. All I wanted to do was tell the truth and when they wouldn’t let me do that, I walked out. (Quelle)
Dieser Feuerwehrmann - der wie so viele seiner Kollegen aus gesundheitlichen Gründen den Job aufgeben musste - ist jedoch nicht nur über die ‘9/11-Commission’ verärgert, sondern ebenso über die angeblichen ‘Truth Seeker’, die er beim treffenden Namen nennt - Verschwörungstheoretiker. Cacchioli sieht sich von den Sprengtheoristen fortwährend missbraucht:
According to Cacchioli, it is the conspiracy theorist who are twisting his words. [...] He also tells Popular Mechanics that he feels misrepresented by the media, and is distressed at the inaccurate use of his name in conjunction with conspiracy theories. (Debunking 9/11 Myths, S. 36)
‘Truth-Seeker’ wie David Ray Griffin interessiert das nicht - auch im Buch ‘Debunking 9/11 Debunking’ wird das Cacchioli-Interview für die Sprengthese instrumentalisiert.
Louie Cacchioli wird dem Truther-Strudel nicht mehr entkommen. Jones, Griffin & Co. wissen dies zu verhindern - auf der Suche nach der ‘Wahrheit’.
Mittendrin - Cacchioli und Kollegen uneinig
Die Schilderung von Cacchioli in einer ausführlicheren Version:
Originally, his crew was ordered to the South Tower, but was misdirected to the other one due to confusion, a twist of fate that saved his life. [...]
As he made his way up along with men from Engine Co. 21, 22 and Ladder Co. 13, the doors opened on the 24th floor, a scene again that hardly made sense to the seasoned fireman, claiming the heavy dust and haze of smoke he encountered was unusual considering the location of the strike.
Tommy Hetzel was with me and everybody else also gets out of the elevator when it stops on the 24th floor," said Cacchioli, "There was a huge amount of smoke. Tommy and I had to go back down the elevator for tools and no sooner did the elevators close behind us, we heard this huge explosion that sounded like a bomb. It was such a loud noise, it knocked off the lights and stalled the elevator.
Luckily, we weren't caught between floors and were able to pry open the doors. People were going crazy, yelling and screaming. And all the time, I am crawling low and making my way in the dark with a flashlight to the staircase and thinking Tommy is right behind me.
I somehow got into the stairwell and there were more people there. When I began to try and direct down, another huge explosion like the first one hits. This one hits about two minutes later, although it's hard to tell, but I'm thinking, 'Oh. My God, these bastards put bombs in here like they did in 1993!'
But still it never crossed my mind the building was going to collapse. I really only had two things on my mind and that was getting people out and saving lives. That's what I was trained for and that's what I was going to do.
"I remember at that point in the stairwell between the 23rd and 24th floor, I threw myself down on the steps because of the smoke. It was pitch black, I had my mask on and I was crawling down the steps until I found the door on the 23rd floor.
When Cacchioli entered the 23rd floor, he found a "little man" holding a handkerchief in front of his face and hiding under the standpipes on the wall, used for pumping water on the floor in case of fire.
Leading the man by the arm, he then ran into a group down the hall of about 35 to 40 people, finding his way down the 23rd floor stairwell and beginning their descent to safety.
Then as soon as we get in the stairwell, I hear another huge explosion like the other two. Then I heard bang, bang, bang - huge bangs - and surmised later it was the floors pan caking on top of one another.
I knew we had to get out of there fast and on the 12th floor a man even jumped on my back because he thought he couldn't make it any farther. Everybody was shocked and dazed and it was a miracle all of us got this far."
When the group led by Cacchioli finally made it to the lobby level, he was unable to open the door at first, the concussion of the explosions or perhaps the south tower falling, jamming the lobby door.
Finally jarring it loose, the group entered the lobby finding total devastation with windows blown out and marble falling form the walls, but strangely no people. At that point, it was either left or right to an exit, Cacchioli, the man he originally found by the standpipes and another lady going right while the others went left, a move which by the grace of God saved his life.
“It seemed like every move I made that morning was the right move," said Cacchioli. "I should have been killed at least five times. The people that went left didn't make it out, but we came out alive on West Street." [...]
Looking up at the North Tower directly above, Cacchioli recalls not having the slightest idea when he exited that the south tower had already collapsed. (Quelle,Archiv)
Unter dem Vorbehalt, daß Cacchioli diesmal korrekt wiedergegeben wurde, ergeben sich folgende Hinweise:
1. Cacchioli befand sich im Fahrstuhl im 24. Stockwerk des Nordturms als sich eine Explosion ereignete:
[...] we heard this huge explosion that sounded like a bomb. It was such a loud noise, it knocked off the lights and stalled the elevator.
2. Etwa zwei Minuten später befand er sich im Treppenhaus und hörte eine weitere Explosion:
When I began to try and direct down, another huge explosion like the first one hits. This one hits about two minutes later, although it's hard to tell, but I'm thinking, 'Oh. My God, these bastards put bombs in here like they did in 1993!'
3. Nachdem er sich zum 23. Stockwerk vorgekämpft hatte, folgte die dritte Explosion:
Then as soon as we get in the stairwell, I hear another huge explosion like the other two. Then I heard bang, bang, bang - huge bangs - and surmised later it was the floors pan caking on top of one another.
4. Als Cacchioli endlich den Ausgang das Gebäude erreichte, hatte er den Zusammensturz des Süd-Towers noch nicht realisiert:
Cacchioli recalls not having the slightest idea when he exited that the south tower had already collapsed.
Die Gedankengänge des Feuerwehrmannes, der schon 1993 im Einsatz war, sind naheliegend. In einer solchen Situation würde jeder zunächst an Bomben denken. Cacchioli selbst betont, daß er die Ursache der Explosionsgeräusche nicht zwangsläufig auf Bomben zurückführen will - es hörte sich lediglich an wie Bomben.
Cacchioli behauptet also, daß im Abstand von mehreren Minuten drei Explosionen zu hören waren, aber erst im Zusammenhang mit der dritten Explosion fortgesetzte Knallgeräusche, die Cacchioli mit den kollabierenden Stockwerken des Südturmes assoziiert.
Cacchiolis Darstellung ist verwirrend, denn sie deckt sich nicht mit Aussagen seiner Kollegen:
Lieutenant William Wall, Engine 47, Interview im Dezember 2001:
At that time, the doors [Anm.: des Fahrstuhls im 24.Stockwerk] closed and that's when the power went out. Which, what we found out later was when the south tower fell down.
They were able to force their way out of the elevator and for some reason the guy from the truck from 13 truck went to the right and he went to the left and found stairwell and he was able to make it out.
Who is he?
Louie Cacchioli
[...]
Me and the other guys are still in the lobby and it was weird because the lights went out just before the rumbling started and one of the guys reminded me just after lights went out made little remarks like Uh Oh the lights went out which was good because it took one of our senses away and then the wind started. It was like hurricane wind just like black stuff just blowing and hitting us. Me and Tommy Turilli were actually little bit more into the elevator lobby dead end corridor and Steve Viola and Keith Murphy were in the main corridor. And they took little more beating than we did
[...] The wind came and pretty much after the wind stopped and the rumbling stopped it was still black [...] (Quelle)
Meanwhile, in the lobby, it seemed like just as soon as the elevator doors closed, the power went out. They just went black. We couldnt see a damn thing. It turned black and then it started rumbling and the wind and dirt was unbelievable. It was just like a hurricane. (Quelle)
Firefighter Thomas Turilli, Engine 47, Interview vom Januar 2002
The door [Anm.: des Fahrstuhls] closed, they went up, and it just seemed a couple seconds and all of a sudden you just heard like it almost actually that day sounded like bombs going off, like boom, boom, boom, like seven or eight, and then just a huge wind gust just came and my officer just actually took all of us and just threw us down on the ground and kind of just jumped on top of us, laid on top of us. There were rocks falling and all that. The lights were still on at that point and all of a sudden the lights went out and you couldn't see anything. At this point, there's a guy from my firehouse on his way up in the elevator. They got up to the 22nd floor and 13 Truck got off the elevator.
He [Anm: Louie Cacchioli] said to the guy -- this is before the actual collapse happened. He said to him stay here with us, stay here with me, because if this elevator closes, I don't have any tools. As soon as he said that, the elevator closed and that's when the actual collapse of the building happened. He made his way out into a stairwell and he made his way down. (Quelle)
Firefighter Keith Murphy, Engine 47, Interview vom Dezember 2001
We are in the lobby waiting for the elevator. I put my roll up. We still had our roll ups put it down ont he floor next to me kind of propped up because there was water on the floor. I was standing kind of on the edge of where our elevator bank met the big elevator bank. That was when - I determined thats when the north tower collapses. We are standing there and the first thing that happened, which still think is strange to me, the lights went out. Completely pitch black. Since we were in that core little area of the building, there was no natural light. No nothing, I didnt see a thing.
I had heard right before the lights went out, I had heard a distant boom boom boom, sounded like three explosions. I dont know what it was. At the time I would have said, they sounded like bombs, but it was boom boom boom and then the lights all go out. I hear someone say Oh, shit, that was just for the lights out. I would say about 3,4 seconds all of sudden this tremendous roar. It sounded like being in a tunnel with the train coming at you (Quelle)
Diese drei Feuerwehrmänner standen in der Lobby vor dem Fahrstuhl, den Cacchioli wenige Augenblicke zuvor genommen hatte, um in das 24. Stockwerk zu gelangen.
Alle drei Statements widersprechen Cacchiolis Darstellung, derzufolge in Minutenabständen Explosionen zu vernehmen waren.
Das letztgenannte Interview von Keith Murphy verdichtet die Cacchioli Darstellung:
I had heard right before the lights went out, I had heard a distant boom boom boom, sounded like three explosions. [...] I would say about 3,4 seconds all of sudden this tremendous roar.
Drei Explosionsgeräusche - Licht geht aus - die zusammenstürzenden Türme rasen herab - alles innerhalb weniger Sekunden?
Die treffendere Reihenfolge dieser Abläufe zeigen Filmaufnahmen aus der Lobby des Nordturmes, die den Kollaps des Südturmes dokumentieren (aus der Naudet-Doku ‘Die letzten Stunden im World Trade Center’):
