“NIST Blames Fires… But This South Tower Footage Tells Another Story”

On September 11, 2001, ABC News correspondent Nj Burkett reported live from the base of the Twin Towers — moments before a massive explosion rocked the South Tower. His reaction, “There’s been a massive explosion… we better get out of the way!” captured the chaos and confusion of that morning in real time.

More than two decades later, the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) still attributes the collapse of both Twin Towers to fires triggered by the plane impacts. But does this explanation hold up to scrutiny 24 years later?

In this video, we revisit the South Tower explosion footage, analyze NIST’s official findings, and explore whether fires alone can fully account for what witnesses — like Nj Burkett — experienced that day.
