I suppose you have a degree in structural engineering?
I've actually watched the video of the WTC being built. So yes, I've seen buildings being built. And I understand very well how the phsyics work. *cough* windsor building *cough*
When I was a kid I played around a lot with gasoline and homemade explosives. I know how this stuff acts.
i spent 21 years as a engineer and always lived on a farm so i have a lot of experience with explosives. we used TNT to blast post holes in rocky ground. and level old buildings. i also had the joy of being at; and involved in; a few implosions. it would take semis full of explosives to bring down that building. look at the 1993 bombing. look at other bombings both accidental and intentional. the evidence is infront of your eyes; should you be inclined to see and not just look at it.

You used TNT on your farm? You are an American aren't you?
Ok, so if one explosive couldn't bring down WTC in '93 then 10,000 can't either?
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

i can prove that it can. have you ever melted steel or heated it to bend it? working in scale; place metal pillars to hold up a few bricks. now heat the metal and it will bend and give way to the weight above. when you consider that the buildings acted like a furnace somewhat like a blacksmiths furnace; the conclusion is simple. the building acted like a chimney and as the fuel burned; acted like a blow torch.
going one step further; create a similar blast furnace situation placing pillars and bricks stacked in succession. when one brick drops and hits the lower; the shock and weight will collapse the pillars under it. just as dominos knock eachother over.

but if you can do the experiment yourself yet refuse the results; you've made up your mind and nothing will change it.
Well, I can't do the experiment, because I don't have jet fuel or huge steel columns and tonnes of concrete.
NIST did the experiment and it failed.

so nist torched a building? and if it did fail; it goes against the laws of physics.
They took a steel beam similar to the ones at WTC and torched it and it didn't melt or weaken. They had to resort to computer simulations to prove thier theory.

So I should structure my theory around an active ignorance of 66% of the event?
does that mean you can't explain why building 7 fell straight down as fast as the other 2 did?

Yes the third building fell wasn't it building 7? Maybe the fact that two of the worlds largest buildings fell practically on top of this 3rd building, or maybe it was due to the fires that raged out of control for hours, or maybe it was because the foundation were possibly damaged when the trade centers fell and the slurry wall that protected the buildings from the river was severely damaged putting a lot of pressure on those foundations. It just seems that these possiblities are a little more probable then to say it was blown up to get rid of seceret CIA intelligence or whatever was stored in building 3.
it did not fall "on top of" building 7. it was one of the furthest away buidlings, several buildings took far more damage than building 7 did from debris. even it was fire like you say, it wouldn't have fallen STRAIGHT DOWN in a few seconds

In a reasoned debate, people don't actively ignore valid questions that arise from their theories. They address those questions. To suggest that a power cut from floors 50+ would allow someone to access the building free of detection gives rise to the obvious question of how someone would reach floor 50 without detection. And how any means to do so would render the entire theory of a deliberate power-down to avoid detection completely unnecessary and superfluous.
it would be easier to sneak a pipe and some pot into a concert than to smoke it there, right? getting explosives in could be done any number of ways, like bags, bookbags, briefcases, boxes...setting explosives up is entirely different

Why is it "entirely different"? Are you suggesting that such activities could not be concealed without disabling half of the building's security cameras? That must mean you know where the explosives were planted. Where was that? Where were the cameras relative to those positions?
Yep, I'm sure. There are many theories out besides the official one. Lots of stuff out there I disagree with. I do question the official one here because so many are so closed minded against even discussing it...it drives me up a wall.
Where are those closed minds? There are pages and pages of these discussions on this board. It happens ever week.
But at home I question aspects of the other theories.;) If I don't understand how it could be or it doesn't seem cut and dry to me then I have to ask. I do lean towards the un-official theory but not enough to commit just yet.
Yes the third building fell wasn't it building 7? Maybe the fact that two of the worlds largest buildings fell practically on top of this 3rd building, or maybe it was due to the fires that raged out of control for hours, or maybe it was because the foundation were possibly damaged when the trade centers fell and the slurry wall that protected the buildings from the river was severely damaged putting a lot of pressure on those foundations. It just seems that these possiblities are a little more probable then to say it was blown up to get rid of seceret CIA intelligence or whatever was stored in building 3.
the ones that got hit by the planes were buldings 1 and 2...now look at where building 7 is in relation...buildings 3, 4, 5 and 6would have sustained faaaaaaaar more damage than building 7...remember, these fell STRAIGHT DOWN, they did not topple over.
now that that theory is debunked we can move to the 'fire' theory. to that i will simply point out that it would make it the 3rd steel structured building to collapse from fire in history (the other 2 being buildings 1 and) i guess it's just a coincidence that all 3 were owned by the same guy who took a record insurance policy out on them shortly beforehand? i guess it's just unrelated he went to court trying to keep the insurance money for himself instead of putting it towards reconstruction and i guess it's unrelated that the city has been complaining about him wanting hte city to pay for reconstruction instead of him?

if the building was wired with explosives; what was the purpose of the planes? if i had a building wired with explosives; i'd save the plane attack plan for the next attack.
there's a lot of blasting around here. when you enter a specified perimeter; you have to turn your cell phone off to avoid unwanted detonation. on the other hand; a detonator can be wired to a cell phone ringer. call that phone and when it rings it detonates the explosives. furthermore; if the building was wired; it could be detonated when the building was full of people.
the facts just don't add up.
and how would they explain how the building was wired w/ explsoives????

Of course its possible ... But one cannot prove something occured by demonstrating that it is possible. There has to be some solid evidence that does not exist solely in the realm of possibility.
this isn't meant to be rock solid proof...it's meant to answer the questions many ask of how could they have planted the explosives w/o any cameras seeing them set the charges up

why do some buildings fall during an earthquake while others standing next to it remain standing? height has a lot to do with it too. if it were an explosion; why didn't it blow outwards? walls fell when the weight of the floors above caused them to buckle.
wtc7 was a lot smaller compared to the other buildings around it which were hit by more debris

Actually in the case of WTC 7, it happens in reverse. The base of the building became unstable from fires and falling debris. And when you remove the base, the rest collapses.
then wouldn't it have collapsed towards that side instead of from the middle straight down?

No one. The ultimate failure of the theory is that no one can make any claims about "the people involved" other than words like "they" and "inside job".
i say ppl like cheney and rummy were in on it. part of the reason they stripped NORAD and the military from being able to engage hijacked aircraft w/o rummy's say so 2 months before 9/11 and why they waited until right before the pentagon got hit before they gave the orders

So let me get this straight...you want precedent for the unprecedented? Good luck with that.
how did it fall so uniformaly?
The question mark at the end of this sentence is a lie. If you actually cared about the question, you'd listen to the 5,000 answers to it you've already received. You'd ask the obvious question that extends from the question above: "why shouldn't it fall so uniformly?" Furthermore, in the context of the North and South towers you'd also pay attention to the fact that those two buildings did not collapse equally.
But you don't have any interest in that. You want the question mark above to be read as a period because you believe the question can equate to an answer which can then be used to support a conclusion. Causation doesn't work like that friend, but you can keep trying to put that square peg in a round hole and then hide behind that question mark whenever your half-spoken conclusions are challenged.
If you want to know what happened to building 7, I can't tell you. I can tell you about a low-probability series of events that could cause that building to fall and is supported by the available evidence. Not having access to any additional information, I'm left with two choices: seek out additional information or begin to wildly speculate. If you're interested in the former, I'm more than happy to share any information I find in the future. If you're only interested in the latter, I can share this: I think you blew that building up.

My God...what has our country come to? Are we serously suggesting that we (America) planned to blow ourselves up and blame it on terrisim? I am not sure but that seems to be what some people on here are saying. I think at the very least it proves everyones distrust in the government...regardless if it is true or false. That is scary b/c this means as citizens we can become very vunerable.
look up operations northwood(s)...that plan got approved all the way to kennedy...part of the plan was 'hijacking' and blowing up an american plane and blaming it on cuba as a pretext to go to war w/ them. obvioulsy ppl in our government have had ideas like this before and were perfectly ok w/ it.

I could point to the Salvation Army too, based on your standards. Al Qaeda, however, is the only group that claims responsibility. And it is the only group who those 19 hijackers were funded by. Regardless, you didn't answer my questions so I'll just assume you missed them. Here they are again:
Do you have evidence that suggests those plans were put together in the US? What US citizen put them together? In which state were they put together?
which can you believe? there's sources that say al qaeda admits it, others that say bin laden denied any part in it...
