Was 9/11 an Inside Job? Secret Service Veteran Reveals His Firsthand Account

About this video

A former Secret Service agent recounts his firsthand experience during 9/11, when his office was located in World Trade Center Building 7. He describes the chaotic response, lack of coordination among agents, and his evacuation from lower Manhattan. He also discusses a post-9/11 arrest he made of an Egyptian man involved in credit card fraud who had made suspicious three-way calls to Kuwait and Egypt on the morning of September 11th.

Key takeaways

• The guest describes experiencing significant lack of coordination and command structure among Secret Service personnel on 9/11, with agents scattered and relying primarily on text pagers for direction.
• The guest recounts that Building 7 housed Secret Service, CIA, and New York City’s emergency management center, and had extensive generators and diesel fuel; he speculates debris from the main towers likely damaged the front of Building 7 through a connecting bridge.
• The guest reports arresting an Egyptian man for credit card fraud who made unusual three-way calls to Kuwait and Egypt early on September 11th before typical waking hours, though the guest states he doesn’t know if broader investigations continued and the man eventually sued the Bureau of Prisons and won $250,000.
