Szamboti <tonyszamboti@comcast.net> I
am a 55 year old mechanical engineer who grew up and still
lives in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. I have worked
in the aerospace industry for a
majority of my career for companies such as GE Aerospace,
BAE Systems, and Lockheed Martin. I am also a Navy veteran having
served four years as an enlisted aircraft maintenance mechanic
in the late 1970s. My engineering degree is from Villanova
University, which I attended during the 1980s after
getting out of the service.
Being born in 1956 I am old enough
to remember the day of the assassination, and of course
as I got older had suspicions that the explanation of the
Warren Commission was problematic and a cover-up through
discussions with people in my family who were suspicious over
the years.
However, I didn't actually become deeply interested myself until
the mid to late 1980s after finally seeing the Zapruder film on cable
TV's A&E network. Geraldo Rivera, who was the first to actually
show the Zapruder film on national TV, actually had me on
his show in Nov. 2010 about the current controversy over
WTC 7 (the third building that collapsed in NYC on Sept.
11, 2001). You can see the eight minute clip of me on the show with
a man named Bob McIlvaine, who is also from the Philadelphia area,
and who lost his son that day in NYC here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_gE4wZEh0g.
The
doctor told him all of his sons wounds were on the front of his
body. He lost an arm and much of his face and had a lot of
shrapnel in his chest, but no wounds on his back or the back
of his body. Bob believes he was killed by an explosion while
entering the North Tower before the buildings came down.
The firefighters did say the lobby looked like a bomb went
off in there. Unfortunately, it appears there are problems with
the official 911 story, much like the Kennedy assassination.
