$13K for 911 Truth?
$13K for 911 truth?

NIST demands $13,278 for massive photo/video library of 9/11 NYC events

This author recently filed a Freedom of Information Act request for a massive visual database of 9/11/01 events; it was accepted, though the terms required payment of $13,278.88. This large fee amounts to a de-facto denial of the request, a significant event for those citizens actively questioning the events of that world-altering day.

The NIST Collection
NIST, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is a federal agency which conducted a massive $20 million Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the World Trade Center Disaster. During the course of this study the visual database, comprised of 6899 photos and 6977 segments of video, was exhaustively compiled, organized, indexed and cataloged by NIST. Much of the media came from private, corporate or independent photographers, while some of it came from various government agencies including the NYC Office of Emergency Management (OEM), the Federal Emergency Managemement Agency (FEMA) and the NYC Police Dept. (NYPD).

Despite the final NIST report being published late last year, few of the photographs and none of the videos from the visual database have been publicly released.

A Need for this Information
The Internet is teeming with 9/11 related media: websites, photographs, stories, videos, sound recordings and more. Yet much of this media is of poor quality. Videos have missing audio tracks, low visual resolution, or are missing frames, context or identification of the source.

1. Start a website to gather donations, then publish the info
If you asked for a $10 contribution it might not take long to get the money together. Perhaps ask for $15 contribution and set aside some of the money to host the site.

It seems that there are more than 1,300 people seriously interested in this information.

You can count me in.
