Fukushima and 9/11 by Anthony J. Hall Professor of Globalization Studies University of Lethbridge http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/05/01/fukushima-and-911/

The continuities and discontinuities animating the mass media’s depiction of 9/11 and the Fukushima catastrophe are striking. In the days following 9/11, pictures of the exploding Twin Towers were repeated again and again on TV. The effect was to deepen the traumatizing psychological impact on populations being prepared to fund, staff and back the illegal US invasions and occupations of Eurasia. Where the images of the exploding Twin Towers in New York

were drilled into public consciousness especially by media venues owned by military companies such as Westinghouse and GE, there were very few TV replays of the videos recording the controlled demolition of WTC 7. This forty-seven storey, steel-frame tower fell to the ground in seven seconds through the course of maximum resistance. WTC 7 came down at 5:20 pm, several minutes after the propagandists at the BBC had already announced, live on-air, the destruction of the doomed building. Somebody in the 9/11 spin doctoring unit appears to have pressed the “send” button a few moments too early
