Danny Jowenko - Manipulated by 9/11 Deniers

Remember this man talking about the WTC7 and how it was bought down by "bombs" due to showing only ONE video ?

Look what he says about the WTC, which 9/11 Deniers won't promote.

What I hate, is they will still try to have it both ways. They will say he is a rock solid expert opinion for collapse of WTC7 via CD, but will say he didn;t know enough about the "proposed atypical demolition" that CTers suggest for WTC1 &2.

None the less, I would like to get Mr. Jowenko to sit down and read...yes READ the NIST Interim Report, and then see what he says.

It seems to me that a new generation of truthers are emerging, at least here in Sweden, and since truther websites are prone to not actually removing old stuff, they tend to pick up somewhere 2005-2006.

This makes the old Jowenko vides starting to circulate again (which is how Google led me to this thread), and I was wondering if he ever elaborated, or even commented on the final WTC7 NIST report?

It appears that the video is gone. If it's Jowenko explaining why WTC 1 and 2 were NOT man-made demolition, this link broke a long time ago.

He explained that no one could have rigged WTC 1&2 and that he was in line with the official "NWO"-explanation. However, the Twoofers never accepted his stance while quotemining the "interesting" parts of the interview...

Yes, sorry about that, I normally don't bump old threads. But this time I think its appropriate - although I post here regularly, this thread popped up when I was responding on a different board to one of the Truther TNG's. There really isn't any need to start yet another WTC7 CD thread IMHO.

It's actually sort of proves my point, the truthers take of in 2006, so this thread mirrors of how nothing happens in three years, and then just takes off as if time have been frozen...

And even though Truthers TNG ignores it, a lot has happened - the NIST WTC7 report for instance. I haven't heard anything from Jowenko since the release of that report. In his interviews he didn't strike me as a truther, so I still wonder if he maintains his position, and if he has been interviewed again, somewhere.

Here's your answer:

Telephone interview with Jeff Hill 2/22/07:

Jeff Hill: I was just wondering real quickly, I know you had commented on World Trade Center Building 7 before.

Danny Jowenko: Yes, that's right.

Jeff Hill: And I've come to my conclusions, too, that it couldn't have came down by fire.

Danny Jowenko: No, it -- absolutely not.

Jeff Hill: Are you still sticking by your comments where you say it must have been a controlled demolition?

Danny Jowenko: Absolutely.

Jeff Hill: Yes? So, you as being a controlled demolitions expert, you've looked at the building, you've looked at the video and you've determined with your expertise that --

Danny Jowenko: I looked at the drawings, the construction and it couldn't be done by fire. So, no, absolutely not.

Jeff Hill: OK, 'cause I was reading on the Internet, people were asking about you and they said, I wonder -- I heard something that Danny Jowenko retracted his statement of what he said earlier about World Trade Center 7 now saying that it came down by fire. I said, "There's no way that's true."

Danny Jowenko: No, no, no, absolutely not.

Jeff Hill: 'Cause if anybody was -- Like when I called Controlled Demolition here in North America, they tell me that , "Oh, it's possible it came down from fire" and this and that and stuff like that --.

Danny Jowenko: When the FEMA makes a report that it came down by fire, and you have to earn your money in the States as a controlled demolition company and you say, "No, it was a controlled demolition", you're gone. You know?

Jeff Hill: Yeah, exactly, you'll be in a lot of trouble if you say that, right?

Danny Jowenko: Of course, of course. That's the end of your -- the end of the story.

Jeff Hill: Yeah, 'cause I was calling demolitions companies just to ask them if they used the term, "Pull it" in demolition terms and even Controlled Demolitions, Incorporated said they did. But the other people wouldn't -- didn't want to talk to me about Building 7 really because obviously 'cause they knew what happened and they didn't want to say it.

Danny Jowenko: Exactly . http://www.pumpitout.com

RedIbis - get him in a court room! If he's your (only) expert who thinks its a CD, get him to testify to that. Get him to write a paper to get peer reviewed!

So much possibilities! So much time! So little chance of happening!

No, I didn't ask him since it's obvious that he didn't know all the facts concerning WTC7 back then, just like some other posters in here today ...

I always found it strange that Jeff Hill (if that's his real name) got straight through to Jowenko. Did Danny not have a secretary/receptionist? Did the recording start after the secretary transferred the call? If so, why?

Even stranger is the lack of comment from Truthers about the pack of lies that DJ was fed in the original video interview. "These 12" springs to mind from memory (the number of core columns). So does "You could walk around it" (of the debris pile).

Could go on. Can't be arsed.

Danny Jowenko never mentioned hearing any sort of explosions on the tapes when he was interviewed. I brought that to the attention to the Truthers a long time ago. They wouldn't hear of it.

Whatever happened to Jowenko? Haven't heard a thing about him, or from him, in 2+ years.

Seems he didn't persue the truth and the truthers didn't persue him. Oh well, throw him into the pile with Laura Chavez, Kevin McPadden and 'Mike the EMT' I suppose.

And I've never been able to figure out why the truthers thought Jowenko was so valuable to their cause. He disagrees with the "truth" 2/3 of the time!

For his opinion to be of value for the truthers we have to assume that he's wrong more often than he's right, and in the minority of cases where he's right he's unquestionably right.

That the Penthouse collapsed through that whole building before it collapsed. That a HUGE chunk of the WTC Tower did crash into the building. That there were several fires for hours. What else do you need to understand that the building was damaged in a severe manner?

I'm not an absolutist so I wouldn't say, "not possible." I would say that a collapse theory based almost entirely on computer simulation is highly unreliable, subject to manipulation, and far inferior to a theory which is supported by physical evidence.

Please remember that NIST is proposing two novel phenomena without any physical evidence.

That structural failure due to fire and the lack of firefighting caused the collapse.

The exact manor of structural failure is claimed to be the failure of a specific beam. Peole with the facts and relevant expertise might debate that, but nobody claims that fire wasn't the primary cause.

Maybe RedIbis is right and fires alone might not have brought the building down. But given the big chunk of debris of a WTC-tower falling into the side of WTC7 and the Penthouse on top of WTC7 crashing through that whole building, it is no effing surprise whatsoever that the whole building collapsed.

Quite the opposite, after all that immense damage, only a fool would claim that all of that was irrelevant concerning the buildings internal structure/stabillity.

Ahhhhh so it wasn't impossible that wtc7 came down because of structural damage and fire. Thank you.

ooooohh I bet it's controlled demolition supported by evidence of sequential bright flashes and explosions immediately before the structure came down, together with evidence of the demolition charges having been installed and maintained during the fire and backed up with circumstantial evidence regarding the motive behind the cd of wtc7...which was.... ummmmm....some reason...to do with....stuff...an' such.

I'm really curious.

If there is no physical evidence as Red claims, then that means there is no physical evidence for ANY theory concerning WTC7. That means that any proposed theory is based on video footage, sound, eyewitness reports, scientific knowledge, etc.

I would like to know what other theory, in Red's opinion, shows a more plausible explanation than what NIST describes.

Hey man, if you ignore the penthouse collapse and turn off the volume for the rest of the collapse, it's just like a CD!

What more do you need?

RedIbis once claimed that he had a theory better than NIST's regarding WTC7 and that somehow column 79 was his best evidence. He, of course, refused to explain.

So then Jowenko's assessment of WTC7's collapse is, at best, as equally unreliable as that of NIST due to its same lack of physical evidence. And you therefore agree that Jowenko's opinion should be summarily dismissed, right?

For a start, he was shown the collapse videos without the soundtrack, so he wouldn't have been aware of the absence of deafeningly loud explosions immediately before the beginning of the collapse.

Reportedly he wasn't told that WTC1 had collapsed just a few hundred feet from the opposite side of the video he was asked to comment on.

As far I remember, they didn't even show him that the Penthouse on top of WTC7 crashed through the whole building before the rest of WTC7 collapsed as well.

Or that the building had been in fire for seven hours, or that it had 47 storeys, or, indeed, that it was WTC7.
