A Few Words from New York City

Several eyewitnesses that day have been filmed in interviews. Footage from that day, accompanied by a narrator’s voice detailing the argument, tells the story of what the activists have dubbed “the 9/11 cover up“.

Enzo Baldoni

Am I talking to a real person!?

One of the curses of modern day technology is the amount of time spent interacting with complex computer generated telephone routing systems.
