Dear Mr. Shack,
I agree with your premise that Hurricane Erin may have been needed to achieve cloudless skies and favorable wind conditions, which are ideal for the made-for-telly event that they were producing. It would simplify the video faking.
But I also believe that the hurricane had another purpose as
a back-up plan to a back-up plan.
You see, the energy requirements of the WTC content pulverization were massive. The destructive mechanisms were being deployed for the first time in a real-world operation and in conjunction with many other components, which is vastly different from the controlled environments where they may have tested it. Things could go wrong. In fact, they probably did if you think about the delayed demolition of WTC-7.
I found Dr. Wood's textbook,
[a href="http://wheredidthetowersgo.com/"]Where Did the Towers Go?[/a], to be very informative. [If you don't already have a copy, my offer of providing you one is still open. Her treatment having run parallel to that of September Clues might be worthy of your video production talents to tell her story and how truth gets marginalized.]
I'm not saying that everything Dr. Wood writes is the gospel; I've run across a few niggly errors, and I do
not believe that
"beams from space" [which by the way is a deliberate mis-framing by her detractors] were used on WTC-1, 2, or 7. That being said, the question is still open whether or not such were deployed on the WTC-6 crater, the WTC-5 cylindrical bore-holes, and the WTC-4 leveling of the main edifice and not the North wing. And if they were deployed, the question of free-energy is also still open.
I deviate from Dr. Wood by recognizing that anomalous radiation readings were measured, 1st responder ailments align with Hiroshima survivors, under-rubble fires burned for many weeks, and some damage to vehicles (and not paper) is easier to explain as electromagnetic side-effects to a nuclear energy source. The PhD steerers for the "mainstream" 9/11 Truth Movement tried mightly to frame it as
"because the readings weren't A or B and were near trace-level for C, then the nuclear devices weren't deployed." In reality, they should have said
"because the readings weren't A or B, because we re-defined higher what trace-level of C was, then nuclear devices of type X, Y, or Z weren't deployed." They took off of the table anything nuclear, including a nuclear or cold-fusion generator that could feed massive amounts of energy to a DEW device and meet the pulverization energy requirements.
Bringing this back around to the subject, a hurricane waiting in the wings would have been important
to wipe the slate clean and
secure total evacuation of the area if any of the major pieces of the operation failed. Failure can be thought of as either not going off, or going off in excess of design. Under the cover of a raging storm, they could finish the job, destroy evidence, and then blame hi-jackers
and a hurricane.
I apologize for the detour into Dr. Wood when this is a forum mostly dedicated to 9/11 video manipulation. However, a piece of the puzzle that brings understanding are the massive energy requirements and what either undershoot and overshoot in meeting them could mean. Control of the media is essential. The weatherman conspiracy to suppress the hurricane on 9/11 plays into this. If the operation is successful to within a certain degree, they wouldn't need the hurricane, could send it away with a flick of a HAARP switch, and wouldn't want the hurricane news overshadowing the desired telly shock-and-awe. On the other hand, if critical elements of the operation failed (by say, 11 a.m.), they had time to turn the hurricane and get the weathermen talking it up again
to get everyone out of the city. [Tongue-in-cheek: The only catch to calling in the hurricane as the back-up to the back-up is that this new story would underscore the power and greatness of Allah even more that planes could go un-intercepted, plane impacts could demolish steel buildings in physics-defying manners, and hurricanes are coincidentally wrought forth to prove who is the mightier God.]
