Like a modern-day Galileo or Socrates, the highly respected physicist, who has challenged with logic and scientific evidence the official explanation for the “collapse” of the World Trade Center, has been banned from teaching classes at his university.
On September 7, the third day of the new fall semester at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, Steven E. Jones, professor of physics and 9/11 researcher, was suddenly banned by university authorities from teaching the physics classes he has taught for the past 21 years. Jones was unexpectedly suspended with pay after participating in a radio show in which he had been cunningly lured to comment on a subject outside of his field the “motivation” of “the Neo-Conservatives” blamed for the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.
Jones, a soft-spoken physicist who specializes in metal-catalyzed fusion, archaeometry, and solar energy, joined the 9/11 research effort after being intrigued by the unexplained collapse of the 47-story WTC 7 at 5:25 p.m. on the afternoon of 9/11. Jones scientific interest was sparked after having read the August 2002 report in American Free Press that molten iron had been found in the rubble of all three collapsed WTC towers including WTC 7.
As this reporter discovered in the summer of 2002, “literally molten steel” had been found, more than a month after the collapse, at the bases of the collapsed towers, where their load-bearing central support columns connected to the bedrock. “Such persistent and intense residual heat, 70 feet below the surface, could explain how these crucial structural supports failed,” I wrote at the time.
Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction of Flushing, New York, told this reporter he had seen pools of “literally molten steel” at the World Trade Center, where his company had been contracted to remove debris, weeks after the three towers collapsed.
Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, Maryland, wrote the clean-up plan for the WTC and confirmed the presence of molten metal at the site.
“Yes,” Loizeaux said, “hot spots of molten steel in the basements.” These incredibly hot areas were found “at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven [basement] levels,” Loizeaux said.
