We have all been looking at these photographs for a while now.








We have all assumed that due to the see-through nature of the towers in these photos, they have missing floors.

I have put together a presentation intended to prove beyond a doubt that there were indeed missing floors.




The windows at the World Trade Center were 78 inches tall. The windows began approximately 13 inches from the floor.





The Towers were 208 feet wide (deep).

I have diagrammed one floor, to determine the maximum angle of any direct light.




Simple Trigonometry dictates that the angle at which ALL direct light would be COMPLETELY obscured is 1 degree 47 minutes 24 seconds.



The first (blue) photograph above was taken from the Observation Floor at the Empire State Building. This fact gives us both a distance to the towers, and determines what our eye level is relative to the picture. Knowing where the level point is on the building will allow us to measure up or down from there along the buildings.


At the distance from the Empire State Building to the World Trade Center, the maximum angle will produce a height of 162 feet. This is equal to less than 13 WTC floors.





Above the Total Obscurement Line, direct light should be completely blocked, and appear dark like the wrapped core. As you can see, this is not the case at all.

The Total Obscurement Line is where the direct light is TOTALLY blocked. However, the light would be progressively obscured as the angle rose from level to Total Obscurement. That is to say, 6 floors above eye level about 1/2 of the light would have been blocked. 9 floors up it would have been 3/4 blocked, etc..

There is no visual evidence of this partial blocking at all. Even floors above the Total Obscurement Line appear as "see through" as those at eye level.

The only answer to this simple mathematical analysis is that there could not have been floors in place to obscure and block the light.



The second "golden" LERA photo above appears to be taken from a much closer vantage point, which would yield an EVEN NARROWER strip. It is quite obvious in that photo, so no numbering is really necessary, as a 40+ floor span of see through floors is so far in excess of this proof it is self evident.

Larry,

I can say anything about the math. But even without the math, its an open and shut case. But if your correct about the math, makes it all the more better! This must have taken a long time to put together. Thanks for taking the time!

Cheers-
Phil

Larry, great work on the math. IMHO, if you can have someone create a 3D model (or use an existing model) that can be viewed at different angles to clearly show this effect would make this argument even more pervasive. Most people don't understand trigonometry.

I sent you by Skype some 3D model contacts of the Towers. Let me know if you want to pursue this avenue of argument and want some help.

I do not wish to rain on your parade, but the pictures of the see through towers was taken in 1973 I cannot remember where I saw the pictures with the date on them I have been trying to track down the site but with no success.

If we can get some more upto date pictures the better. Also another rich source of pictures is obtainable from TV shows and news clips. If some of those can be tracked down then we can come to a judgement.

You seem to be a day late and a dollar short my friend. All of what you mention above has been covered.

One of the better Lera photo's is from 1978.

I would suggest you do some reading up on the research here at Let's Roll

I am inclined not to put too much faith in photographs unless you can prove beyond doubt that they have not been touched up. What they can do with CGI now is pretty amazing so it would not be too much hard work to do up a picture, this is why I recommend getting hold of TV footage that has images of the towers in them. Before they are all touched up beyond recognition.

I was watching a movie with my kids the other day and ran across great footage with the WTC upper floors in it. The movie is Home Alone 2.

Another good one to try and find on you tube is the documentary discovery chasnnel did about the guy who tightrope walked the towers in 1973. I haven't found it my self yet but I bet it will make interesting viewing as it was done before they opened.

That has been posted here somewhere. Check WTC History Thread.

Good work on the math but have you taken into account refraction and reflection of the light? I'm sure this phenomenon can be demonstrated in other buildings or structures, whether man-made or natural. But a more pressing question arises from this "missing floors" theory. In the 31 years that the towers were open to the public, not one of the millions of visitors ever decided to get off on of these missing floors out of sheer curiousity and found themselves looking into some vast empty space? And those persons never spread the word that "Holy crap! The World Trade Center is hollow!" I understand that there are questions about the attacks that have yet to be answered but this theory does a disservice to those working to find the whole truth.
