  • ok ill ask....

    what do YOU believe caused the buildings to collapse????

    in your opinion.....what events took place in order for those buildings to collapse???


    I just want to know what you all think melted the steel. I would like to hear just one legitimate explanation.

    The melted steel is not a casual finding at all.

    There is no conspiracy. They found the WMD. The Iraq war is a success. All the govt tells is the truth apparently.

    You just highlighted the major flaw in your delusional beliefs. If the US gov't had staged the entire 9/11 incident, flown planes full of innocents to their death, rigged the towers with explosives that killed thousands more innocents, why didn't they plant the WMDs to be found? That's why they went to Iraq. When none were discovered a new "war on terror" excuse had to be made. If the administration were so clever, and this entire thing were as scripted as you looneys belive, why didn't the US gov't plant tons of WMDs throught Iraq?

    That is totally unrelated and easily explainable, and for a few reasons.

    The crux of the argument is, stemming from my original question, which need not be responded to with yet another question in order to to sidetrack the immediate issue...

    Somebody explain to me why (or how) you think the steel melted?

    How was this possible from jet fuel exactly?

    "Newspapers and TV newscasts reported that the twin towers had been designed to withstand a collision with a Boeing 707. The events of September 11th show that this was indeed the case. "However, the World Trade Center was never designed for the massive explosions nor the intense jet fuel fires that came next—a key design omission," stated Eduardo Kausel, another M.I.T. professor of civil and environmental engineering and panel member. The towers collapsed only after the kerosene fuel fire compromised the integrity of their structural tubes: One WTC lasted for 105 minutes, whereas Two WTC remained standing for 47 minutes. "It was designed for the type of fire you'd expect in an office building—paper, desks, drapes," McNamara said. The aviation fuel fires that broke out burned at a much hotter temperature than the typical contents of an office. "At about 800 degrees Fahrenheit structural steel starts to lose its strength; at 1,500 degrees F, all bets are off as steel members become significantly weakened," he explained."


    Now answer my "unrelated" question, which is actually directly related to the lunatic ravings of conspiracy theorists. Why weren't WMDs found if this was such a masterfully scripted scenario?

    you know, the WTC weren't constructed like other normal buildings had been up to that time. they were unique in that their support came from the central configuration of columns placed, funnily enough, within the centre of the buildings, AS WELL as around the outside of the buildings. apparently this gave the buildings the advantage of being especially stable. i imagine a 9/11 scenario wasn't factored into the equation. one would wonder how that would be anyway imo. perhaps maybe an accidental collision but a deliberate act, i don't know.
    and something else i was just thinking about. BOTH towers fell in identical circumstances. wouldn't that mean that ALL the circumstances involved in the collapse of BOTH towers would have to be the same in order to produce the same effect? just wondering tis all. :)

    This is a legitimate supposition and I'll give my assessment of it. Yes it would've have been quite easy to plant WMD in Iraq but there was a bigger plan in going into Iraq. The US needed the American people behind the country in whatever country, wherever the US decided it was going to invade.

    With an event like 9/II the atmosphere of FEAR is there to change laws, deny rights, implement Patriot Acts, torture becomes permissible and so on. As for Iraq under the 9/II event it could still be claimed Iraq has WMD through the media influenced through Pentagon officials. We then can control the oil, occupy the country, build permanent military bases and most of all a sustained military occupation makes that "War on Terror" a profiteering venture...Haliburton, KBR and our US oil companies.

    If we had planted those WMD's and then invaded Iraq the country would not backed US government to invade another country. They needed the country mad enough and wanting revenge disregarding any sane plausibility that these WMD's couldn't be in Iraq. Similar to Pearl Harbour, before the attack in 1941 a small percentage 15% wanted a war after the attack 91%. That's a huge jump and that's exactly what happened after 9/II.

    One the country would back the US under the threat of FEAR, wholeheartedly which brings forth the many advantages above. The other not enough advantages to be had.....war profiteering, lack of FEAR with not being attacked, country not backing the govt and control of the region which then leads to other invasions like Iran.

    Not exactly. It really doesn't matter what I think, or what anybody "thinks".

    I'd rather leave pointless conversations about opinions aside exactly where they belong, and talk about facts of the matter.

    It couldn't have been such a great investigation if no one can approach or explain why there were pools of melted steel found at ground zero.

    I want to know why, and what caused it.

    I want to know why, and what caused it.

    This is one of the better explanations I've read:
    9/11 Truthers:

    Did you know that sulfur in a fire is capable of causing melt
    formation in steel at lower temperatures than it would otherwise
    occur?


    Take a read:
    http://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/0112/Biederman/Biederman-0112.html
    "Rapid deterioration of the steel was a result of heating with
    oxidation in combination with intergranular melting due to the
    presence of *sulfur*. The formation of the eutectic *mixture* of iron
    oxide and iron sulfide *lowers the temperature at which liquid can
    form* in this steel. This strongly suggests that the temperatures in
    this region of the steel beam approached *~1,000ºC*, forming the
    eutectic *liquid* by a process similar to making a "blacksmith's weld"
    in a hand forge." (emphases mine)


    Where does this sulfur come from? No, not thermate:


    http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-01/nsf-sfg011603.php
    "The high levels of calcium, strontium, and *sulfur* concentrations
    found in the near-surface sediments of the cores, are *consistent*
    with presence of *gypsum* as a parent material. Gypsum is extensively
    used as drywall in building construction. Copper and zinc are also
    common components of building materials. The scientists observed that
    this near-surface sediment layer also contained silica-rich fibers and
    rods, which may reflect the input of fiberglass from ceiling tiles and
    other materials in the World Trade Center towers." (emphases mine
    also)


    So what appears to have happened at the WTC is that the burning
    drywall (Gypsum), fuel from the planes, and more, released large
    amounts of sulfur. This would not only have aided in collapsing the
    towers due to easier melt formation, but also in generating the
    massive amounts of molten steel that were observed in the piles many
    months afterwards -- too much time to be accounted for by thermite as
    the amount of thermite required could not be hidden.


    The huge rubble pile that was created after the collapse was
    essentially a big chemistry lab. You've got all sorts of material
    burning and releasing molecules of every sort imaginable, all whizzing
    around at very high temperature. In addition the pile traps heat. This
    heat would cause oxidation of the iron, releasing more heat, which in
    turn not only heats the iron more but also all the other combustible
    fuels, increasing the amount of free gases and other substances ready
    to react with metal, for example sulfur from gypsum would cause
    sulfidation of the iron. This mixture of oxidation and sulfidation
    promotes liquid formation. So we have the temperature in the pile
    going up, and the melting point going down. Once they meet -- bam!
    Molten steel! And with a pile that big, it could literally go on for
    months. Other sources of sulfur include various petroleum derivatives,
    such as generator fuels. In addition sulfur dioxide -- burned sulfur
    -- is an oxidizing agent in and of itself (http://www.debunking911.com/
    ironburns.htm, http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/mhmi/mmg116.html), and is also
    capable of triggering combustion (oxidative chain reaction) of the
    iron, and hence lots of heat -- leading to further increase in the
    melt volume.


    So if molten steel really was found, then this explains it, 100%. No
    thermite or thermate or any other incendiary preplaced charges
    required at all. Bam. Official theory still stands strong and proud,
    and 9/11 Truther theory has crumbled to dust, just like the Twin
    Towers.

    this explanation fucking wins the "duh!" award.
    i really do have to say, 911 "truthers" need to step back and reexamine the "evidence". If the executive planned the detonation of buildings and missles strikes against the pentagon. evidence of such plans would have hit the news long ago. quite simply, too many "ground troops" would be needed. Cheney ain't gonna rig up the demo. And bush ain't firing any missles. ;)

    The cold reality is,
    if there is any truth in that day outside of it being the generaly accepted "epic blunder", it would be a conspiracy to not act. In otherwords the other side of the 911 Truth movement, the ones that have been the mute minority -- the LIHOPers [Let It Happen On Purposes] -- are likely to be the ones who see it for what it is [ok, arguably may ahve been].

    Either it was a blunder of government ineptitude, or they wanted it to happen so bad they simply new what actions needed to be taken to avoid such a calamity and deliberately neglected to take action. I tend to think there is a case for this, given all the warnings, the fact that we knew these people were in the country, we had the flight school records, we were watching them take the classes, we had several of them housed up with an FBI informant, letters were sent to several figures of authority in the FBI, Porter Goss was meeting with the ISI Chief Mahmoud Ahmad (the guy who wired 100K to Attah) a week before 911, he was here on 911 proper, Bush got a directive saying "Bin Laden determined to strike in US" etc etc etc ... it goes on and on and on ...

    i dunno.
    just sayin'.
    if it did go down all sinister deadly ganster like, that is how it went down.

    now PLEASE stop arguing over exploding towers.
    it makes me sad.
    ask 69charger, he beat me over the head until i cried.
