- Lt.Col. Robert Bowman (USAF, Director of Advanced Space Programs): When the first of the towers actually started falling down, I just said, This can't happen. It can't happen. And then the other tower came down, and I said, This violates the Laws of Physics, it can't happen. Those aircraft and those fires could not cause those buildings to come down in that way.
- Tony Szamboti, M.E. (Mechanical Engineer): Neither FEMA or NIST followed standard protocol for fire or explosives investigation.

- Senator Bob Graham (Co-Chair 9/11 Joint Inquiry): At virtually every step of the judicial process, when the U.S. government was called upon to take a position, it has been a position *adverse* to the interest of the U.S. citizens seeking justice.
- title card: 15 Years have passed... There is substantial NEW evidence that the Government didn't address in their 9/11 reports... and hasn't even acknowledged since. - Why has public debate become taboo?
- S. Shyam Sunder (NIST's lead investigator of WTC7 collapse): We have found no evidence that would suggest any kind of explosive material that caused the building to collapse.
- question from the audience: I wonder, did you do any explosive residue testing on any iron from the building, just to lay these ideas to rest?
- S. Shyam Sunder (NIST's lead investigator of WTC7 collapse): The answer to that is: No, we did not do it.

- Wesley Clark (Author, A Time to Lead, 2007): What happened in 9/11 is: We didn't have a strategy, we didn't have a bipartisan agreement, we didn't have American understanding of it; and we had instead a policy coup. A *coup*, a policy coup. Some hard-nosed people took over the direction of American policy and they never bothered to inform the rest of us.

- Ed Asner (Actor): Since 9/11 thousands of soldiers and millions of innocent civilians have been killed. The 'War on Terror' keeps escalating. Because of 9/11 precious civil liberties have been lost, in the U.S. and around the world. We Americans can be subject to searches and seizures without a warrant; we can be detained indefinitely without a charge, without evidence, without a lawyer, without a trial. The psychology professionals tell us that looking at the truth of 9/11 isn't easy. 9/11 was traumatic, and looking anew at 9/11 is tough, even scary. But we are resilient. If we acknowledge our fear and then decide not to let that fear control us, we can break the silence and find healing in the truth, not only for ourselves but for our country and for the world.
