New evidence has negated the official claim that none of the black boxes belonging to the planes hitting the World Trade Center towers were ever found, according to Consensus 9/11.

The 24-member 9/11 Consensus Panel says that firemen working at Ground Zero in October 2001 had found three of the four black boxes.

It is not known why US officials always denied finding the almost indestructible boxes.

Over a three-year period, the panel has peer-reviewed 44 Consensus Points debunking the official story concerning the line of events of 9/11 attacks.

One of the facts that the panel uses to seriously question the “hijack story” is that none of the eight pilots on the four aircraft involved in the attacks ever “squawked” the hijack code to Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) controllers.

The “7500” universal hijack code takes only 2 or 3 seconds to be entered on a transponder to inform FAA officials of any attempted hijack –a standard procedure that all pilots are trained for. This is while it took more than 30 seconds for hijackers to break into the pilots’ cabin on Flight 93, according to the official story.

There is also no evidence that lost radar signals were due to turning off cockpit transponders by alleged hijackers.

The story gets even trickier when on the day of the attacks the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) did not follow its procedure to intercept aircraft that deviated from course, or lost radar and radio contact, the panel says.

On the day of the event, NORAD’s commander-in-chief, General Ralph Eberhart, had mysteriously scheduled a record number of military air drills in the morning, which called in most of the US Air Force and thus delayed the military’s response to the incident.

The panel goes on to say that once he was informed of the attacks, Eberhart’s “bewildering activities and decisions” made the response even worse.

Then comes the strange actions of the then-mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, who told ABC that he and the emergency management team were warned that the Twin Towers were going to collapse, but did not inform others of the alarm.

A few years later, Giuliani completely reversed what he had told ABC while testifying before the 9/11 Commission. The commission never asked him about the apparent contradictions.

The 9/11 Consensus Panel has joined 30-year career NSA official and whistleblower William Binne in calling for a new investigation into 9/11 attacks.
