    well, we really haven't even discussed the beams that look like that are cut at an angle with once melted steel surrounding the cut.

    so was the picture taken right after it happened or was it after they maybe had a chance to get in there and clean up?

    i think the 'maybe later' argument is weak b/c they probably would have cut it to the ground, right?

    then again: why would the firefighters be in the picture?

    it seems like 60,000 extra pounds up against "however many pounds the trade centers weighed" is a pointless argument anyway. if it failed without the use of explosives, it seems like it was a flawed design regardless of the 60,000 extra lbs.

    Explosives were freaking used! I still can't believe people actually think this.

    Well from what I have provided, the planes can effectively have the same weight, or much lighter depending on the exact configuration (and payload), in the video it says the 767's were actually lighter. So how can something the tower is essentially designed for more or less completely obliterate it?

    You have your facts wrong somewhere. The planes that hit the WTC are heavier then what the building was designed for.

    The study they did of why the towers collapsed is not based on fact, they had to manipulate all the data they had to make it fit what actually happened.

    In other words they had to make 2+2=5.

    The information I saw on why they collapsed seemed to based on engineering and physics.

    Have you seen ground zero? Why the hell do people think the building collapsed within its own footprint. I am out of this forum and tired of talking about this 9/11 conspiracy bullshit.

  • I guess I'm having a hard time believing that all three WTC buildings fell straight down as if collapsed by demolition-style imploding. I can't believe they would be "designed to collapse" architecturally speaking that is.

    My thoughts and speculations would lead me to believe that under such circumstances... the WTC's weren't hit by the planes to the extent that one would assume that some internal melting or structural weakening wouldn't have caused (especially the second plane that hit mostly right of center) some pitching or lean before collapse.

    What I'm seeing always leads me to believe that these towers were imploded somehow. Just doesn't seem to make sence.

    Nevertheless, it shouldn't be ignored...it needs to be questioned.

    Always question.

    Always question.

    It's also interesting how the media showed the towers coming down again and again for what seemed like months to make people fumed enough until the War in Iraq started up. Instantly, overnight, it all magically disappeared, and the "you're either with us or against us" mindset was ingrained into society.

    Honestly what Country should ever make a threat like that? If you're not with us...you're the enemy?

    building #7's collapse, in reality, is essentially impossible to have occurred.

    Why are we led to believe that steel frame concrete reinforced buildings all the sudden are these brittle, flimsy structures that are apt to collapse into finely pulverized dust?

    It's fucking ludicrous. I don't know how the media did it, but they did, and somehow common sense went right out the window...

    That's some pretty potent jet fuel I'd say...nothing a fully loaded 707 could ever accomplish with, in all reality, even more jet fuel than what actually hit the towers :rolleyes:

    nucking futs!!

    They had to manipulate the data and keep manipulating to get it to collapse, because no matter what they tried it just wouldn't.

    And some people will just believe anything their told without questioning the facts or looking into how they came to the conclusions they did and that frustrates me.

    Ok, all of you conspiracy people are correct and all the respected engineers and college professors that offer logical explinations as to why they collapsed are wrong. Just keep telling yourselves that. The US media and the US government were able to put together the greatest conspiracy in the history of mankind that will never be able to be duplicated.

    Look at it more simply. The WTC buildings were over engineered to withstand anything you could throw at them. Including an airplane and jet fuel.

    Over engineered. Let that sink in for a bit.

    What hit the towers were well within design specs, below design specs actually.

    An hour later the buildings are dust...not just collapsed...dust... with molten pools of metal that were still red hot a week later

    right....sprinkle a little jet fuel and poof it's magic....gmafb...

    I don't know where you get this information but the WTC towers were not designed to withstand a hit that they took. and by the way it wasn't just jet fuel burning once the freaking building caught on fire. I still don't see why people think this fire was basically cold.

    This is where a lot of people just gulped down what the media shit out.

    The 767's were not at max weight capacity and fuel. The WTC buildings were designed for a fully loaded max capacity 707 which would have had MORE jet fuel than the 767's that hit WTC. A 707 can also go about 100 mph faster than a 767.

    Ok, so you really believe that the government was able to get the media involved with this conspiracy also. So that would mean thousands of people are in on this cover up.

    Now tell me what is wrong with the following.

    "FACT: Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F). However, experts agree that for the towers to collapse, their steel frames didn't need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength--and that required exposure to much less heat. "I have never seen melted steel in a building fire," says retired New York deputy fire chief Vincent Dunn, author of The Collapse Of Burning Buildings: A Guide To Fireground Safety. "But I've seen a lot of twisted, warped, bent and sagging steel. What happens is that the steel tries to expand at both ends, but when it can no longer expand, it sags and the surrounding concrete cracks."

    "Steel loses about 50 percent of its strength at 1100°F," notes senior engineer Farid Alfawak-hiri of the American Institute of Steel Construction. "And at 1800° it is probably at less than 10 percent." NIST also believes that a great deal of the spray-on fireproofing insulation was likely knocked off the steel beams that were in the path of the crashing jets, leaving the metal more vulnerable to the heat.

    But jet fuel wasn't the only thing burning, notes Forman Williams, a professor of engineering at the University of California, San Diego, and one of seven structural engineers and fire experts that PM consulted. He says that while the jet fuel was the catalyst for the WTC fires, the resulting inferno was intensified by the combustible material inside the buildings, including rugs, curtains, furniture and paper. NIST reports that pockets of fire hit 1832°F.

    "The jet fuel was the ignition source," Williams tells PM. "It burned for maybe 10 minutes, and [the towers] were still standing in 10 minutes. It was the rest of the stuff burning afterward that was responsible for the heat transfer that eventually brought them down."

    The bottom line is that we were made to believe a 707 is not comparable to a 767 which is what hit the towers. I'm saying in reality the building was totally designed to handle this and should have. It's simple to think about.

    They were over engineered and designed for exactly what hit them. Actually more than what hit them.

    So address that logic and mindset first before you start digesting all the gov't reports which are essentially flawed and grossly inadequate.
