1st RULE: You do not talk about Pier 92.2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about Pier 92.
Ken Longert "We were booked four or five days BEFORE 9/11 page 338 "Talk about weird luck. The OEM was training cadets at Pier 92 on September 11th" (this sounds like OEM / FEMA Drill Tripod II) Pier 92 was set up before 9/11 and became the new home for WTC 7. 9/11 drill was cover for the switch up to Pier from WTC 7 before 9/11. New Floor Plans finished for WTC 7 in April of 2000. Insurance completed the month of 9/11.. The only thing left to do is to set off the explosions.. Which are recorded below in seismographs which large spikes seem to GO unnoticed by everyone.. "September 11 was going to be a busy day at the OEM. Staff members arrived early to prepare for Operation Tripod, an exercise that would test the plan to distribute antibiotics to the entire city population during a bioterrorism attack. The exercise was planned for September 12, with police and fire department cadets to be used as the simulated civilian population. Pier 92 was set up as a model distribution station where the "victims" of the mock attack who needed to receive antibiotics would be treated."http://transweb.sjsu.edu/MTIportal/research/publications/documents/Sept11.book.htm15:15 is 3:15 P.M |

Crisis trading in indexes puts on every business in the building and plane on their way while FBI acted as their chief excuse officer from the "missing black boxes" to planes flying to parts unknown on the 11th..Michael Burton led the rapid cleanup of ground zero after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks now works for the private construction firm overseeing the troubled demolition of the former Deutsche Bank building. "They had established the Pier 92 command area on 9/10 (possibly earlier), 'with hundreds of people' there already for the 9/12 'drill'. This reconfirms the Tom Kenney claim he arrived Monday night. Pier 92"

9/11 Commission Hearings Wednesday, May 19, 2004
9/11 Rudy Giuliani - FEMA At Pier 92 On Sept 10 For Planned Terror Drill
9/11 Eyewitness - FEMA already at World Trade Towers C-span2
"And the reason Pier 92 was selected as the command center was because on the next day, on September 12th, Pier 92 was going to have a drill. It had hundreds of people here, from FEMA, from the federal government, from the state, from the State Emergency Management Office, and they were getting ready for a drill for biochemical attack. So that was going to be the place they were going to have the drill. The equipment was already there so we were able to establish a command center there within three days that was two-and-a-half to three times bigger than the command center that we had lost at 7 World Trade Center. And it was from there that the rest of the search and rescue effort was completed."

Richard Sheirer terror drill the day after 9/11 ?
"On the morning of September 12, Richard Sheirer, director of the mayor's Office of Emergency Management, was scheduled to conduct a biological-terrorism drill in a cavernous commercial warehouse on the Hudson. Known as tripod -- short for "trial point of distribution" -- the exercise was to test how quickly Sheirer's staff could administer treatments at the kind of ad hoc medical centers that would be set up all over the city in the event of an actual attack. For an audience, Sheirer had lined up Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the police and fire commissioners, and representatives of the FBI and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He had hired over 1,000 Police Academy cadets and Fire Department trainees to play terrified civilians afflicted with various medical conditions, allergies, and panic attacks. He had even arranged for a shipment of 70,000 M&Ms to be delivered and divided by color into medical packets representing different prophylactics and vaccines. But the M&Ms never arrived."

OSAMA BIN LADEN IS ALIVE, STAYING IN BAHAMAS, CLAIMS EDWARD SNOWDEN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73BZA9aMMyc
Paul Bremer and Jerome Hauer had managed, on live television, to identify Osama bin Laden as the culprit. What a team!
Then, on the afternoon of the 12th of September, a Toyota was flagged as “suspicious,” at Dulles International Airport. It was registered to Al-Hazmi of Lemon Grove, California, and was diligently searched. Among the items found, were:
- Four (4) color diagrams of an instrument panel for a B757 aircraft
- One yellow and black utility knife (a.k.a. “box cutter”)
- One identification card form the Pan Am International Flight Academy, Jet Tech International, in Phoenix, AZ, bearing the name HANI HANJOUR
- A cashier’s check to the Flight Academy in the amount of $5745 from HANJOUR
- A travel itinerary for KHALID AL-MIHDHAR and MAJED MOQED on AA Flight 77, specifying seats 13A and 13B
- A piece of paper with the name “Osama 5895316”
“Atta was the only passenger among the 81 aboard American Flight 11 whose luggage didn’t make the flight” (Paul Sperry, WorldNetDaily.com, September 11, 2002).
Dear Mr. Plesse:
The National Archives only collects federal government records, so the NYPD records are not part of our collection. The records the NYPD shared with the 9/11 Commission are here because they were accessioned as part of the 9/11 Commission collection. I spent several hours trying to figure out where to find original NYPD records and I have had no luck at all, so I can understand why this is frustrating for you. I have a few suggestions, but no easy answer.
1.) Contact the New York State Archives (archref@nysed.gov) and ask what records they have about 9/11 and if they know how to access the NYPD records from that day. This might be a routine question for them.
2.) Contact the New York Public Library (http://www.nypl.org/ask-nypl) and ask about NYPD records. They are among the best reference staff in the country, so they will know.
3.) The New York Times sued the City of New York for access to some first responder materials. They have since created an elaborate website (www.nytimes.com/sept11) that contains a mountain of information about that day. Take a look at the site for clues about original records and you might also find some additional information -- oral histories, for example -- that might interest you.
I'm sorry I can't be more helpful with this part of your request. There is so much information out there that I cannot keep track of it all and can barely stay ahead of what I have in my own collection. While the Internet has made many kinds of research easier, archival research can still be a hugely time-consuming hunt. I wish I knew how to make it easier for you.
As for your other questions...
1.) 9/11 Commission first responder interviews
The National Archives' General Counsel examined the agreement between the City of New York and the 9/11 Commission and determined that we not only cannot make the content of the first responder interviews available until the 25 year mark, we also cannot release the names of those interviewed. I can tell you that I've read these interviews and recall nothing about airplane markings.The film footage captured by the Naudet Brothers is the best footage I'm aware of that captures the first plane. If you haven't seen it, the Naudet's film is available from film rental stores, Netflix, etc. The interviews I've read that mention the second plane do so in terms of the bang of the contact, not as someone seeing the airplane coming, so I don't recall any mention of markings.
2.) Van explosion on King Street
The file titled "148-911-NY00099-4-s1" contains a reference to the bomb squad being called to 6th Avenue and King Street at approximately the 35:00 mark in the recording. I'm assuming the details of this call would be written up in original NYPD records I talked about at the start of this email. Also keep in mind that the FBI is the main investigating entity for the attack itself. If they felt such an explosion would be part of the overall attack, they would have records. If you haven't explored the FBI records, please do so. They are also the agency responsible for the recovered bits of the airplanes, so they are also important to your markings question. All the FBI records cited in the 9/11/Commission Report were processed by the FBI FOIA Office and posted here (https://vault.fbi.gov/9-11% 20Commission%20Report/). You can also find link a link to the FBI FOIA request form there, too, I think, if this material isn't helpful.
3.) Photographs of the airplanes
Again, check the FBI website. Any debris of the airplanes would most certainly have been considered evidence, so it would be within the FBI's scope. Also, search for images of the Moussaoui trial exhibits; photos of airplane debris were used in the trial.
4.) Original request for SOD recordings
As I said yesterday, I'll email you a CD with recordings. Based on your response about the time frame, I'll send these:
NYPD Communications Division SOD, Division 1, Ch 17 09:29-10:15 a.m.
NYPD Communications Division SOD, World Trade Center, 9:32:20-10:18:56 a.m.
NYPD Communications Division, SOD, World Trade Center, 8:46:53-9:33 a.m.
NYPD Communications Division, 9/11/2001, Location: World Trade Center, Special Operations Division, 8:46:53-9:33
NYPD Communications Division, 9/11/2001, Location: World Trade Center, Special Operations Division, 9:32:20-10:18:56
NYPD Communications Division, 9/11/2001, Location: World Trade Center, Special Operations Division, 10:18-11:04:56
NYPD Communications Division, 9/11/2001, Location: World Trade Center, Special Operations Division, 11:04-11:49:56
NYPD Communications Division, 9/11/2001, Location: World Trade Center, Special Operations Division, 11:49-12:34
These recordings are often scratchy and not always clear in terms of being able to understand what's being said. My office doesn't have any software or means of improving the sound quality, so you'll get what I have. The Aviation base is included on the recordings.
The National Archives usually charges a fee of $15 per disc, but I would rather not do the paperwork, so let's call this a gift from the National Archives to you!
I hope this information helps you. I'm sorry I don't have easy answers or specific documents I can provide to answer your questions. If you have additional questions, I will be back in the office in January, but my colleagues are here M-Th next week and the following week. You can email them at Legislative.Archives@nara.gov.
Best of luck with your research!
Happy New Year!
