    FiveB247x, you are one of the people I am talking about who never enter into the world of fact and continually debate about debating. It's bullshit.

    Five's position is firmly grounded in the facts, as we know them to date. Talking about the logic used in 9-11 conspiracy theories is directly pertainent to their accuracy, I would argue. Way back in this thread I was trying to focus you in on the logical holes in these theories, and you just kept repeating that stuff about the buildings, even though several folks have refuted your point about how they fell.

    What "several folks" have refuted anything. That video did nothing to explain the other side. Only tried to stir up hate against such "liberals" as Rosie O'Donnel. Funny they chose to show her instead of the people she got her info from. And funny how so many here fell for that hate bait. Distractions are very effective.

    Once again:

    Theory: 9/11 (AT LEAST WTC COLLAPSE) was an inside job

    Facts: 2 Buildings fall at near free fall speed after being hit by airplanes (which they were designed to withstand the impacts of), and a third, non-hit building, is also dropped in a controlled demolition.

    "Inside Job" only means that there had to be people involved inside the building. I have never once drawn a conclusion to "the government" or any individuals.

    All I am looking for is agreement that the must have been explosives inside the building to drop it at that rate. If the floors pancaked as is the official theory, it would have taken over 90 seconds. Even with your time steched "audio" of the collapse it is NOWHERE near 90 seconds.

    And what about this from YOUR SAME GUY!!Your SAME SOURCE: Dr. F. R. Greening,http://wecanchangetheworld.wordpress.com/2008/09/01/dr-fr-greening-responds-to-nists-report-on-wtc-7/......Saying there own conclusions are fucked! :lol:

    "Now consider NIST’s version of the final moments of WTC 7 as exemplified by the computer-generated simulacra of Figure 12-69 of NCSTAR 1-9. These images of the final collapse of WTC 7 from the north, west and south show very extensive buckling of the exterior columns especially near the mid-height of the building. It is simply astounding that, even though these computer generated images of a crumpled and severely distorted Building 7 look nothing like the video images of the real thing, NIST nevertheless concludes: “the global collapse analyses matched the observed behavior reasonably well.”

    5.0 Conclusions

    I believe there are many problems with the material presented in NIST’s Draft WTC 7 Report; most of these problems stem from the fuel loading assumed by NIST but I would add that NIST’s collapse hypothesis is not physically realistic and is not well supported by observations of the behavior of Building 7 during its collapse. I certainly believe that an alternative collapse initiation and propagation hypothesis is called for; an hypothesis that more accurately reflects the reality of what happened to WTC 7 on September 11th 2001."

    It is NOT a fact that these buildings were designed to withstand the impacts of 747s at full throttle.
    It is NOT a fact that the third building is dropped in a controlled demolition.

    I'm suprised more surrounding buildings didnt fall. Did you see how far firey debris sprayed outward?

    I dont think there is ANY history of a building even NEARLY as large as the two towers collapsing or being hit by a missle-like impact of a fully fueled 747 at 400-500 mph, where jet fuel sprayed so far as almost to the ground floor through elevator shafts. Has that happened before, because I sure as hell havent heard about it. 90 seconds, whatever... doesnt tell me anything.

    90 seconds is how fast the building would have fallen if each floor hit each other on the way down, as is the "official story" of what happened.

    No, Physically. By "Physics". If the top floor fell with not a single thing below it. It would hit the ground in about 9 seconds. The entire building fell very close to that. The most conservative estimate putting the collapse near 15 seconds. That is stretching every known audio and physical evidence possible. Which means, the floors did not pancake, they were blown out.

    I don't enter the world of fact? My point has only ever been, don't jump to final conclusion because we don't know all the facts... and in many instances, and as most of your posts in this or other 9-11 threads, they are all absolute conclusion based on things we do not know for certain, and unproven facts. Why rush to final judgment when you do not know all the facts and details? Pot meet kettle.

    And once again, bad math in the official account (assuming said math is even bad) does not prove that a conspiracy is afoot. Man, I feel like a broken freakin' record. How does discrepancies in the number of seconds the damn buildings took to fall somehow magically transmute into "the US did it"??? There are some serious missing pieces.

    it comes down to this ... an "official story" is presented ... if said story is proven to be false - then it begs the question why was it wrong ...

    i've seen fires of all kinds and i can't recall seeing a building ever collapse due to fire ... forget about the twin towers ... building 7 which got hit by debris ... collapses? ...

    Man, where in the heck do you get these things from? the same place where you said the building was designed to withstand this kind of accident, where you were 100% wrong?

    In addition, those floors were falling apart for over an HOUR. Perimeter colums were falling long before the collapse...siding was crumpling, and who knows how much of the interior was melting, falling, or sagging. NONE of these whack-job conspiracy theories take these factors into account. Or there's the fact that there was over 500,000 tons of steel moving downwards with the help of the force of gravity. Each floor from the top transferred its momentum to the next. The more weight, the less resistance each floor gave.

    So, there are estimates of between 9 seconds and 15 seconds? Proves Nothing, especially considereing you cannot pinpoint at what point the towers began to fall. And within that cloud of debris, the final moments are even debatable.

    No answer for this... it's easier to simply point blame rather than actually be reasonable and factual.

    The simple facts of temperatures:

    1535ºC (2795ºF) - melting point of iron
    ~1510ºC (2750ºF) - melting point of typical structural steel
    ~825ºC (1517ºF) - maximum temperature of hydrocarbon fires burning in the atmosphere without pressurization or pre-heating (premixed fuel and air - blue flame)
    Diffuse flames burn far cooler.
    Oxygen-starved diffuse flames are cooler yet.

    The fires in the towers were diffuse -- well below 800ºC.
    Their dark smoke showed they were oxygen-starved -- particularly in the South Tower.

    I asked you this earlier in this thread and you never answered.
    Not to be dismissive, but are you physicist or have real world experience in this field - enough to have a legitimate comment on the matter? Any joe schmoe can have an opinion and back it up with half-truthes or point to another person's comments (which I do know there are some in the field which back your claims and many on the other side who do not).. but do you specifically have experience to be so overly dismissive about a field and action which probably a great deal of us do not?

    the thing that nags me most is building 7, which was only hit by debris on 1 side, falling perfectly down at near free fall speeds. no jet fuel to melt or weaken the steel, also the damage wasn't all the way around the building so shouldn't it have toppled over more than fallen straight down on itself at the same speed on all sides? it's like that game jenga, when a certain side is weakened enough it leans too far and collapses, the whole thing doesn't just cave in on itself and fall straight down in unison

    Have any of you who have posted in the last few pages actually seen Loose Change? If not, you should pull up the more relevant threads and continue your arguments there.

    If you watched the film and disagreed with various points, you could explain them to us. Most of what I am reading here is toddler-level mocking: "Ooh, science! Let's all laugh and point!"

    In the past, I've seen Loose Change, 9/11 Truth Rising, and Fabled Enemies. Truth Rising was the weakest of the three. Loose Change was pretty good. Fabled Enemies was the best of the three, but not earth-shattering. In my opinion, none of the documentaries contained any one piece of evidence that would disillusion a person who whole-heartedly believed the Mainstream Media's interpretation of events.

    i wonder why we've been shown the footage of the towers being hit a trillion times but pretty much all the footage from the pentagon, except for 1 video which really shows nothing, has been suppressed? why did the 9/11 commission think they were lied to?
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 01300.html
    Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.

    Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission, hoping to hide the bungled response to the hijackings, these sources said.....

    "We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."....

    For more than two years after the attacks, officials with NORAD and the FAA provided inaccurate information about the response to the hijackings in testimony and media appearances. Authorities suggested that U.S. air defenses had reacted quickly, that jets had been scrambled in response to the last two hijackings and that fighters were prepared to shoot down United Airlines Flight 93 if it threatened Washington.

    In fact, the commission reported a year later, audiotapes from NORAD's Northeast headquarters and other evidence showed clearly that the military never had any of the hijacked airliners in its sights and at one point chased a phantom aircraft -- American Airlines Flight 11 -- long after it had crashed into the World Trade Center.

    Maj. Gen. Larry Arnold and Col. Alan Scott told the commission that NORAD had begun tracking United 93 at 9:16 a.m., but the commission determined that the airliner was not hijacked until 12 minutes later. The military was not aware of the flight until after it had crashed in Pennsylvania.

    These and other discrepancies did not become clear until the commission, forced to use subpoenas, obtained audiotapes from the FAA and NORAD, officials said. The agencies' reluctance to release the tapes -- along with e-mails, erroneous public statements and other evidence -- led some of the panel's staff members and commissioners to believe that authorities sought to mislead the commission and the public about what happened on Sept. 11.

    "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described," John Farmer, a former New Jersey attorney general who led the staff inquiry into events on Sept. 11, said in a recent interview. "The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years. . . . This is not spin. This is not true."

    and why would 1 of the co chairs say this?
    http://www.boston.com/news/nation/artic ... held_data/
    The limitations prompted angry condemnations yesterday from two Democratic commissioners -- former Georgia senator Max Cleland and former Indiana representative Timothy Roemer -- who have argued that the commission should be more aggressive in seeking sensitive materials from the Bush administration.

    Cleland called the agreement "unconscionable" and said it "was deliberately compromised by the president of the United States" in order to limit the panel's work.

    "If this decision stands, I as a member of the commission cannot look any American in the eye, especially family members of victims, and say the commission had full access," he said. "This investigation is now compromised . . . This is `The Gong Show'; this isn't protection of national security."

    and i still don't understand why we've been shown the footage of the towers being hit trillions of times but the only footage released of the pentagon shows practically nothing. why not allow any of the footage confiscated from the gas station and hotel nearby to be seen?

    and how did building 7 fall straight down again?

    Facts: 2 Buildings fall at near free fall speed after being hit by airplanes (which they were designed to withstand the impacts of), and a third, non-hit building, is also dropped in a controlled demolition.

    "Inside Job" only means that there had to be people involved inside the building. I have never once drawn a conclusion to "the government" or any individuals.

    All I am looking for is agreement that the must have been explosives inside the building to drop it at that rate. If the floors pancaked as is the official theory, it would have taken over 90 seconds. Even with your time steched "audio" of the collapse it is NOWHERE near 90 seconds.

    it is NOT a fact that the planes were traveling at full throttle and i seriously doubt they were, for terrorists who could barely fly i doubt they'd take the chance of fucking up and missing by overshooting it as i would imagine it would be hard to navigate it properly on target at full speed....

    you're right, it is NOT a fact building 7 dropped by explosives, the official report admits it is just a guess and they don't really know. so, how do you think building 7 fell straight down on itself in uniform fashion by debris damaging 1 side?
