Pentagon, Simulated Crash

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

(Originally released on Ground Zero Forum NYC-> in 2002) The Pentagon was worried, since at least seven years, that they would be target of a terrorist attack, therefore the incompetence theory (->) seemed to be bogus. In a 1993 study they compiled a panel of 41 intelligence/security experts that included former ranking CIA, FBI, State Department and Rand Corporation officials, as well as an ex-KGB general and Israeli intelligence agent. http://www.infowar.com/class_3/class3_081398a_j.shtml 

Then in November 2000, they finally simulated a crash with some planes on a miniature model of the Pentagon. http://www.mdw.army.mil/news/Contingency_Planning.html

On this website you can read the following info:

"...The fire and smoke from the downed passenger aircraft billows from the Pentagon courtyard. Defense Protective Services Police seal the crash sight. Army medics, nurses and doctors scramble to organize aid. An Arlington Fire Department chief dispatches his equipment to the affected areas. Don Abbott, of Command Emergency Response Training, walks over to the Pentagon and extinguishes the flames. 
The Pentagon was a model and the "plane crash" was a simulated one...." Don Abbott is responsible for Emergency Response Training at the efilmgroup who who works on emergency videos and produced "ICS" (=Incident Command System) .  (see Pentagon Mascal)

Efilmgroup is also known as Institute of Makers of Explosives and Emergency Film Group. "I.C.S." is a 25-minute program designed for law enforcement, firefighters, emergency managers, emergency medical personnel, government agencies, the military, security, and facility management personnel who may respond to incidents or be involved in joint response operations One of their committee members was New Yorks Fire Department Chief Donald Burns, 
who later tragically died in the Twin Towers.

Other specialists included Tom Abbott, Tempe Fire Dept. ("Anthrax Threats"), Manny Aljazireh, Refinery Fire Chief (Bomb Threat), Bob Andrews, Industrial Emergency Services (Petroleum Storage Tanks) , Maria Duazo (Fun With Chemistry), Rick Emery (Anthrax Threats) or Jerry Grey, HazTech Systems (Hazardous Waste, Inorganic Oxidizers etc..) and many many more.

Don Abbott used the FEMA and CERT-softwares FDonScene and PDonScene by Fieldsoft. 
http://www.fieldsoft.com/newsrelease/2000/abbottville.html 

CERT training revolves around "Abbottville", a 12-foot by 18-foot training tool that is an HO scale diorama, built by Division Chief (retired) Don Abbot. The tabletop town is used to teach fire, law enforcement, emergency medical, and other emergency response personnel. Actual fire, smoke, chemicals, and background noise are used during training exercises (->) to simulate as closely as possible, real life situations and distractions faced by emergency response personnel and incident commanders. Division Chief Abbott and Bev Abbott planned to use FDonScene to monitor exercise events real time and prompt students to take key actions pertaining to strategy mode evaluation and responder accountability Basically, FDonScene is an automated COTS tool (commercial off-the-shelf software) that actively facilitates control and coordination of people, procedures, events, and other resources with the touch of a finger. Coincidentally, a new trial software of FDonScene was installed in time on the morning of September 11th. In a report on the Fieldsoft website, you can read, how it was used: "...Over 700 victims passed through the Atlantic Highlands Ferry Port in New Jersey following the September 11, 2001 WTC attack. Two fire departments, three local police departments, as well as representatives from county, state, and federal agencies were on hand to assess and assist the victims as they embarked. Emergency units on the scene included 40 ambulances, an FD communications unit, a decontamination unit, and 10 pieces of fire apparatus. A communications unit member on scene at the Port, who had seen a ninety minute demonstration of the software a few days earlier, brought a trial copy of FDonScene on line and used it to track people, resources, and events. A second person watched how the software was being used, and took over operation of it a few hours later. Overall, the software was operated successfully for 14 hours....."

President Bush was familiar with FdonScene because it was first endorsed by the Texas Fire Chiefs Association while he was governor (1998). And, as the FieldSoft brochure mentions, "FieldSoft has engineered software necessary to integrate FDonScene with a consequence management system under development by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)." So this is definitely a program well known to and used by the military, too.

Skip Trudo of NJ Field Communications, an Emergency Vehicles company explained on their website, how FDonScene came into action on September 11th: http://www.ldvusa.com/News/ssv_news.asp?article=286 

"In the Comm Unit, we were joined by Firefighter Eric Tantarelli, who had left his civilian job to see if he could help. He was assigned to maintain the incident log. We had an evaluation copy of Fieldsoft's FDonScene, an ICS personnel accountability software product, which proved to be a great asset. Eric recorded everything for the next 14 hours, taking only one (forced) dinner break! We eventually had 19 single-spaced pages of time-stamped, chronological log." If this operation was only a lucky coincidence for the important development of this program has to be found out. 
However it is strange, that Fema spokesman Tom Kennedy confirmed in an interview with Dan Rather (CBS) that they already arrived on monday,
which means September 10th. 
This irritating detail was never investigated again. Did the FEMA arrive in time because of prior knowledge? And what about the Pentagon, who was on High Alert on September 10th as well and told their employees not to take any planes on the next day? http://www.msnbc.com/news/629606.asp?0sp=w13b2#BODY 

Fieldsoft was founded by Mark Bouchard in 1997 to develop simulation software for Biological Warfare, Dept. of Defense , 
DARPA and "tactical Incidents". Bouchard is connected with the META Group, too. 
http://www.metagroup.com.au/msites/au/263.html 

"Before joining META Group in June 1996, Mr. Bouchard was the plant electrical engineer at General Chemical and served as an officer in the U.S. Navy for five years. Mr. Bouchard has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute" One of the members of the board of the MetaGroup is Harry S. Gruner, who worked until 1992 at Alex Brown's (->) Information Technology Group, a company which is specialized in advising software and information services companies, and connected to Alex Brown Deutsche Bank. Gruner is executive at Transcentive, a stock plan management software http://www.transcentive.com/about/board.asp 

Another META-member is Joseph R. Hardiman, who served as the president and chief executive officer of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., from September 1987 through January 1997. Hardiman joined Alex Brown in 1975 and holds a BS degree in computer science from the State University of New York at Albany. 

META Group knew 911 insider trader Tony Elgindy (-> Insider Trading). Elgindy wrote in a report of 1997, when he was chief equity analyst at Key West securities, which included a "warning" for Jyra Research, Key West has initiated JYRA with a "Manipulated and Overvalued" sell recommendation. At that time, so the report, JYRA had "over 6.2 million shares outstanding, revenues almost non-existent; and apparent Internet fraud running rampant in the stock, coupled along with the company's inability to justify a market capitalization of over 200 million" 

As reported by Bloomberg and mentioned in the Key West Research Report, JYRA continued to deceive the public through false statements and trickery, and recent reports allegedly written by seemingly credible analysts and research houses are, in fact, "BOGUS."
Then on August 20th of the same year, Jyra Research Inc. shares fell 24 percent "after the computer research firm Meta Group Inc. said it didn't write a report that Jyra touted" At that time Meta Executive Vice President Joe Gottlieb told Bloomberg News the report was produced by another company and distributed by Meta. The story about Don Abbott, the simulated Pentagon crash in late 2000 and the connection of to the September 11th attacks had been never picked up by any mainstream papers. Parts of this story from May 19th from 2:16 a.m had been picked up at mediawhoresonline.com and indymedia-sites. and mirrored here: http://syninfo.com/ian/PRIVATE/2002/05/21/2002052108051335.html
