Today marks the 18th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, which left 2,996 innocent civilians dead. The deadliest terror attack in American history saw hijacked passenger jets fly into the Twin Towers in the centre of New York City. A documentary on Channel 5, titled ‘The Missing Evidence,’ detailed the incredible revelation that the official investigation into 9/11 - the 9/11 Commission - apparently omitted 118 eyewitness reports.

These first-hand accounts of the attacks all described mysterious “explosions” at the site. On 8.45am, a hijacked American passenger Boeing 767 crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Centre in New York City. The aircraft loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel struck near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper. Just 18-minutes later a second Boeing 767 - United Airlines Flight 175 hit near the 60th floor of the south tower. JUST IN: BBC Weather: Freak thunderstorms put Spain on alert

The official report does not account for the hundreds of eyewitness testimony of explosions at the site

Less than two hours after the first tower was hit, at 9.59 am, the south tower collapsed in just under 10 seconds - 29 minutes later the north tower collapsed to the ground - just 102 minutes after being hit. However, according to the Channel 5 documentary, the official report investigating the attacks do not account for the hundreds of eyewitness testimony of explosions at the site. The documentary narration reads: "In all, over a 118 NY firefighters claims they heard explosions - yet their testimony is not addressed in the official report." One firefighter, Jimmy Grillo, told cameras at the time: “There was a heavy duty explosion.”

Another firefighter Tyrone Johnston added: “There was a third explosion, that’s when the lobby collapsed on us.” In reported testimony, firefighter Rich Banaciski said: “I just remember there was just an explosion. It seemed like on television they blow up these buildings. "It seemed like it was going all the way around like a belt, all these explosions." Fellow firefighter Frank Campagna also said: “You see three explosions and then the whole thing coming down." Richard Gage, who leads the conspiracy theory group Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, claimed the omission was “no accident”.
