Cryptome, NIST, FOIA, and Body Parts on 9/11

Before there was Wikileaks there was Cryptome, who posts a compendium of 9/11 research materials, in addition to other assorted outré finds.

The following 30 images were posted online on March 10, 2010 by the web service, in a zip file called wtc-nist-parts.zip, with the "parts" referring to "Body Parts Ejected from WTC 9/11," or so we are told, along with a brief introductory note: 
Cryptome
10 March 2010
These photos show disintegrated body parts ejected by an aircraft attack on
World Trade Center South Tower, New York, NY, 11 September 2001.
Photographer unknown.
From the National Institute of Standards and Technology FOIA Release of 3,160
Electronic Records of the WTC Collapse Investigation. Selections from Group 7
Disk 2 of 3.

The photos appear to be scanned from hardcopy and enlarged, presumably for
close study by NIST researchers.
The scans are about 20MB each, compressed here, uncropped.
Cryptome received the images as part of a Freedom of Information request, materials released by NIST, but something is very strange about this case. A letter is provided explaining matters:

Dear Mr. Young:

This is the final response to your February 10, 2010 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in which you requested "copies of the CDs provided to ABC News."

Your request was received in our Public and Business Affairs Office and then forwarded to the FOIA Office for action. Your request was received at the FOIA Control Desk on February 16, 2010, and was assaigned FOIA Log #10-069.

NIST is releasing three thousand one hundred sixty (3,160) electronic records responsive to your request on the enclosed eleven (11) disks.

Some documents being released may be copyrights owned by private individuals or organizations, and may be subject to restrictions on use. You may want to obtain legal advice prior to further dissemination.

Sincerely,

Catherine S. Fletcher
Freedom of Information Act Officer

In my experience, it can take upwards of a year to get an initial letter acknowledging a private citizen's request for information under the FOIA law. To receive a polite letter within three weeks is unheard of, let alone receiving the actual material sought---herein,  a volume of materials of a mindbogglingly vast scale. Did Cryptome have to pay for the eleven disks needed to store the electronic data?

Also, FOIA does not allow for fishing expeditions. A request as broad as "copies of the CDs provided to ABC News," begs the question where did Cryptome learn that ABC News had received such a large volume of raw materials?

It's clear to me that Cryptome is being used for an official disbursement of yet more fraudulent materials. The photo record from September 11th, 2001, is a massively doctored and fraudulent affair---everything from the debris images to almost every single narrative point in the written record, all is a manufactured fiction.

Wow...unbelievable...who took these pics?? I'm fascinated by the LACK of "jumpers"...these pics were obviously taken quite early and where r the 200 plus jumpers??? I've enlarged the pictures to their fullest and I do see scattered bloody, body parts everywhere, but I believe I only saw possibly two (partial) bodies. I know it may sound gruesome, but I an dumbfounded that with all the people down at ground zero and all the jumping,falling reported that we have basically NO pics of jumpers...I've only seen a few pics online and am not even sure if they are from 9 11. There must be SOME photographers that have proof of these poor souls plummeting to their deaths. You see video camera after video camera mounted on the walls of the Marriott hotel, the Deutsche bank and the WTC complex...these must have footage of the jumpers falling and landing, they obviously must have been confiscated by FBI, CIA never to be seen by any public.

To kristin, the bodies you see in this picture are more than likely from Flight#11, as are the numerous body parts seen on Washington street. They were extruded thru tower #1 on impact. Approximately 51 of the passengers were identified with 8 intact enough to not need DNA. The picture shows tower#2 and the Marriott. You do not see jumpers here because the majority jumped from tower #1. Numerous bodies were seen on the roof of the Marriott which are not visible here.

Passengers lol....the "engine" and "tires/landing gear" were not from an 767. Most likely these were parts of people that were blown out of offices during initial impact and explosion.

I didn't read all the comments but one of the questions asked was why was that lot only a quarter filled it's because it was over $50 to park there after 2 hours; my car was in that lot that morning I was trying to get it out when the second plane hit most of that debris was from the first plane body parts every where 2 cars in fire from I am assuming jet fuel.

Bob said...

Lol. A speedy response is suspicious. No doubt a tardy one would be too.

And the 767 wheel was planted there, I suppose?

There Are some very nasty and distastefulpeople comnenting.. like those people didn't die from an obvious plane strike.. yes they did, the evidence is all around. And a jumper is seen in the pic of the side of WTC2 Stretch it larger and look at the speck.. it's a person. Respect and ;)

Amazing, that's quite fascinating, I've never seen human bodies or flesh in such a way before, I'm highly interested in gore so this is amazing. I wish I could see more but this is real stuff so I can't go asking for pics of things you don't or won't have.

Kid Gourmand said...

Why did people just leave their cars there? Did they die in the crash(es)? Is it because the streets were closed off to non-emergency vehicles or something?

Unknown said...

All I want to say is...RIP all who parished on 9/11. God bless the fire fighters, police, and everyone who tried to help. ✌

I was parked in that parking lot the day before 9/11. I stayed at the Marriott hotel (3wtc) from Sunday the 9th to Tuesday the 11th. I had a meeting in 4 wtc on the 10th and after the meeting spent the day around Manhattan and capped it off by going to the south towers indoor observation deck and had a hotdog at Nathan's. I checked out early on 9/11 around 8:30am because I had a long drive back to Michigan. I stopped for gas about ten minutes later and seen that the north tower was on fire and ended up trapped in Manhattan because the bridges and tunnels closed. Anyways, adding to the above comments about the lot being empty, it was expensive to park there. The only reason I parked was because it was being paid for by my business I was working for at the time. That's why the lot was so small because it was expensive and not for everyone to park there.

There were multiple witnesses near streets on the south side of 1wtc near cedar, rector and Washington streets that said when the plane initially hit there was a lot of random stuff flying, including body parts.

I responded with FDNY. We were at staging are west st. I front of north tower. Awaiting orders which came. Go to 70 th floor of south tower. Watched carefully as the jumpers fell as the were a hazard to us getting to the south tower. One of the brothers were killed as well as father Judge. The jumpers sounded like dynamite when they landed.
