Shepard Ambellas: Micro-Nukes and the World Trade Center?

When it comes to the World Trade Center towers and Building 7's collapse on that dreadful day in September of 2001, one thing is for sure, the actual impact from the planes DID NOT CAUSE the collapse of the massive steel structures that stood above the New York skyline, nor did the jet fuel or fires. It is also a fact that micro-nukes do exist, and have since the 50's. The Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) was a family of man-portable nuclear weapons fielded by the US military in the 1960's, but was never used in actual combat. The US Army planned to use the weapons in Europe in the event of a Soviet invasion: US Army Engineers would use the weapon to irradiate, destroy, and deny key routes of communication through limited terrain such as the Fulda Gap. Troops were trained to parachute into Soviet occupied western Europe with the SADM and destroy power plants, bridges, and dams. The project, which involved a small nuclear weapon, was designed to allow one person to parachute from any type of aircraft carrying the weapon package and place it in a harbor or other strategic location that could be accessed from the sea. Another parachutist without a weapon package would follow the first to provide support as needed. The two-person team would place the weapon package in the target location, set the timer, and swim into the ocean, where they would be retrieved by a submarine or a high-speed surface water craft. In the 1950's and 1960's, the United States developed several different types of lightweight nuclear devices. The main one was the W54, a cylinder 40 by 60 cm (about 16 by 24 inches) that weighed 68 kg (150 lbs). It was fired by a mechanical timer and had a variable yield equivalent to between 10 tons and 1 kiloton of TNT. On 9/11, there is little doubt that multiple bombs were detonated in the WTC complex. This fact can not be disputed, and is clearly documented by hundreds of videos and backed up by many eye witness testimonies!
