DEW stands for Directed Energy Weapon, like, for example, a powerful laser beam. These are being brought forward now by the U.S. Navy. Dr. Judy Woods is the foremost exponent of the theory that a DEW is responsible for the Trade Towers destruction. For her, the main anomaly is the debris volume and pattern. The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth agree with her in rejecting the crash theory (airplanes caused the destruction) but they strongly reject her theory and the anomaly she highlights. IMHO, her theory carries even more burdens than the demolition theory (explosives caused the destruction).
Two people have alerted me to Pilots for 9/11 Truth. They explicitly offer no theory. They want a thorough investigation, however, because they believe that government reports on technical matters are flawed, as compared with their assessments. They rightly point out that all the interested parties deserve better than substandard government investigations. They’re interested in technical matters relating to the aircrafts flown, their ability to maneuver, the pilot skills, aircraft speeds, communications with the ground, etc. While they sell their research on DVDs, their site provides a sampling of their concerns.
One person suggested the possibility that C-4 plastic explosive goes missing from U.S. inventories and could have been used on the buildings. The GAO and Inspector General monitor inventories of weapons and explosives. There are indeed reports of occasional thefts and losses, but nothing like what would be needed to blow up the Trade Towers without extensive planning and placement.
The 8-story Khobar Towers were bombed by a truck bomb that contained 1.5 to 2.5 tons of plastic explosives. The building remained standing; the truck blew up in front of the building. An article about bringing down buildings by implosion says “carrying out such a demolition involves painstaking preparation. It can take up to six months to survey the structure and prepare it for the blast by removing non-load bearing walls, weakening support structures and fitting the charges.”
A truly large theft of precursor chemicals used to make C-4 explosives occurred in Iraq in 2004, estimated at 380 tons. This was under the supervision of the Iraqi government. This is 3 years after 9/11.
The first Trade Towers bombing used a “1,336 pounds (606 kg) urea nitrate–hydrogen gas enhanced device”.
The demolition hypothesis has a lot of explaining to do, judging from these findings.
