Original Question: Did the Texas Book Repository continue renovations after JFK was shot?Did the Texas Book Repository continue renovations after JFK was shot?

It wasn't being renovated when the assassination took place, it simply had additional flooring being installed by its own employees. The fifth floor had been completed and they had just started on the sixth floor.

The Texas School Book Depository has changed hands and uses over the last 56 years, but it is still there.

Today it holds the Sixth Floor Museum to the assassination, and a seventh floor 5,500 square foot gallery used for various meetings and other functions.

About 350,000 people visit it annually, an adult ticket is $18, seniors $16. It also has a gift shop and cafe. There is even a live cam on the side the shots were taken from. (They milk it for all it is worth.) Abraham Zapruder’a family also gave his famous film and all rights to it, to the museum after his death.

The Warren Commision testimony of the workers themselves, contained in Volume III of the 26 Volume Hearing Transcripts and Exhibits. Here is a link to one workers entire testimony, it is long and boring. Testimony Of Bonnie Ray Williams here is relevant portion you are asking about; from Mr Bonnie Ray Williams.

Mr. WILLIAMS. Before November 22, I think we had been working on the fifth floor, I think, about 3 weeks. I think altogether I had been up there just about 4 weeks, I think.
Mr. BALL. And how long had you been on the sixth floor before how long have you been working on the sixth floor before November 22?
Mr. WILLIAMS. Let's see. Before November 22, I think it might have been 2 days--it might have been 2 days. I would say about 2 days, approximately 2 days.
Mr. BALL. Before you started to lay the floor, did you have to move any cartons?
Mr. WILLIAMS. Yes; we did.
Mr. BALL. From what part of the sixth floor did you move the cartons?
Mr. WILLIAMS. We moved cartons from, I believe, the west side of the sixth floor to the east side of the sixth floor, because I think there was a vacancy in there.

These workers were not in any hurry as the boss (Mr. Truly) was making work for them instead of laying them off, and the workers knew that.

" With McGlynn knowing that he heard the
transmission, we continued to climb down. As we
got down to the lower floors, we walked a little
bit slower. It was very congested with firemen
down at the bottom of the staircase making our
way out. But eventually we got down to the
lobby.   Lieutenant McGlynn came to a stop, I'm
assuming this was to check that all his members
were out of the stairwell.  "

I sent one of my firemen, Jerry Suden, out with this group of nine guys --

I spoke to Lieutenant Jimmy McGlynn from 39 Engine who was still there,

too much heat, coming up from the steel.

Lt. Jerry Reilly Ladder 22 was in the south tower's lobby 
when it tumbled to the ground. He was the last man out

We got the lady out, passed her down,
then they were trying to dig out, I believe it was a
second Battalion Chief and I waited and stayed there
with them until we were ordered -- well, we were
ordered several times, but the Captain of, I think it
was a rescue company or a squad refused to leave.  
Finally he gave up, he said there was nothing he could
do and we all left that area. This is in the collapse
zone of tower 7 
We waited until tower 7 collapsed and at
this point, we went into the area and assessed the
damage that was done to the buildings and to see if we
could control the fires that resulted from the collapse
of tower 7.

9-11 Radio Events and Hijacked Flights Take off Times: Coincidence or military contingency planning

9/11 Military Controlled and Staged

The single biggest 9/11 mystery of 9/11 was the cockpit and radio events and contingency planning of hijacked flights wheels off timing on 9/11. Whenever cockpit door opened or radio event  was recorded, another plane took off! What are the chances of this happening without contingency planning? It seems like the NORAD or someone else was listening for degrees of success in order to launch the next wave of attacks. If “Atta” said "we have some planes" that seemed to have the effect of launching the next plane. I think when AA11 door was breached at 8:14 that is when the next plane was sent.. 8:14 was the time American flight 11 started going the wrong direction and flew directly at NEADS Rome NY headquarters! It would be ironic justice if the Flight 11 got confused and impacted the 9/11 remote controllers terminal.

American Flight 11 transponder signal halt:          Start take off of AA Flight 77

Every level of success was met by a butterfly effect on the ground.

No mystery or contingency planning. The take off times for all flights was available to the passengers ahead of time. Terroriest coordination and advance planning was not coincidental but deliberate . No military contingency planning because flight 93 failed to hit it’s target and crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. That is not a result of America military precision contingency planning . NORAD had no authority over take off times for commercial airliners . This would explain why flight 93 was 42 minutes late from takeoff. Lastly the blog incorrectly mentioned ATA (American transport association) as ATTA.

Just now

no ATTA is correct. I meant hijacker #1 on flight 11.

You have no idea what I am talking about do you? When AA11 shifted north at 8:14 to head to NEADS, do you really think that was the idea? The “terrorist” didn’t fly over air force bases as a master stroke of genius or by sheer luck the military just so happened to “standing down” on 9/11 as officials have talked about in public for years. Norman Mineta is now so senile he forgets what a stand down order means and spills the beans.

Does this fragment belong to Flight 77

Boeing 757-223

The American Airlines Flight 77 aircraft was a Boeing 757-223 (registration N644AA).? ?? 

C.F.R.P. made up the vertical tail and the rudder on American Airlines Flight 587, the plane that crashed. Both the vertical tail and the rudder came off before the crash, but it is not known whether this failure caused the crash or happened as the plane twisted in its fall. When it struck the ground, the fuselage still had scraps of composite material attached, with some pieces ending in fibers extending upward like brush bristles.

Does this fragment belong to flight 77?

The airframe further incorporates carbon-fiber reinforced plastic wing surfaces, Kevlar fairings and access panels, plus improved aluminum alloys, which together reduce overall weight by 2,100 pounds (950 kg).

Dear Daniel Plesse,

Thank you for contacting the Smithsonian, where you can explore, discover, and create every day. Your email or letter has been received at the Smithsonian’s Office of Visitor Services.

The Smithsonian holds some 156 million objects in the collections of 19 museums, the National Zoo, and Smithsonian Gardens. Some 16 million objects are cataloged in our collections database (collections.si.edu). I have searched the collections database for some of the keywords you have provided ("white plane part," "beam from north tower," "Penny Eglas," "Metal from the Rubble," "Glass and Metal coin," etc.), but did not find any relevant results.

Each museum and department manages it's own collection, so to find a particular object not in the collections database requires contacting the museum/department that holds that object. Unfortunately, the information you've provided thus far does not help identify the correct museum/department. If you know which Smithsonian museum might have received the item, we forward your inquiry to the appropriate staff. 

Please let us know if you learn which Smithsonian museum holds the object you are looking for.

Sincerely,

Office of Visitor Services

Smithsonian

Are you are assuming these items are not your display items without
looking?

Other items:

Are any of these items apart of the collection currently?

Have you positively identified Penny Eglas brown fiber white Plane plane
part as belonging to which
aircraft 1. A drone 2. a military decoy plane ?

I don't think American Air can afford to have three layers carbon fiber
attached anywhere on there planes
nor has any evidence shown that carbon exists outside a few military uses.

Can you do research on this?
