that's part of the point, there was power. powering down a computer system and powering down a building are two different things.
i find it VERY hard to believe a financial building with needed security would completely shut down all electrical power, including elevators0 -

The Madrid tower also didn't come down in a blaze of glory once the collapse started either.... :rolleyes: there goes the progressive collapse theory out the window...
Madrid tower collpase timeline:
1:29
East face of the 21st floor collapsed
1:37
South middle section of several floors above the 21st floor gradually collapsed
1:50
Parts of floor slab with curtain walls collapsed
2:02
Parts of floor slab with curtain walls collapsed
2:11
Parts of floor slab with curtain walls collapsed
2:13
Floors above about 25th floor collapsed
Large collapse of middle section at about 20th floor
2:17
Parts of floor slab with curtain walls collapsed
2:47
Southwest corner of 1 ~ 2 floors below about 20th floor collapsed
2:51
Southeast corner of about 18th ~ 20th floors collapsed
3:35
South middle section of about 17th ~ 20th floors collapsed
Fire broke through the Upper Technical Floor
3:48
Fire flame spurted out below the Upper Technical Floor
4:17
Debris on the Upper Technical Floor fell down
Only one section of the Madrid building was made with steel supports. The rest of the building incorporated a cement core with cement reinforced structure. Therefore those sections didn't collapse. What you have shown here proves nothing once again.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

What was the mass of those planes?
How fast were they traveling?
I posted the equation earlier. You do the math. That was an impact with a tremendous amount of force and energy.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

and how could it be the plane???? the planes hit well before the towers collapsed, the biggest energy spike was )read slowly) right before it fell. well after the planes hit and before the building started to fall
Again, read the link i posted earlier. The greatest energy does not show up before. Just more bullshit.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

and WHAT CAUSED building 7 to fall? where is this 'disproportionate' collapse?
I already posted facts and links about why building 7 fell but i guess you got confused because they were facts. Not someone taking bits and pieces of information to make things sound the way they want them like all the conspiracy nut jobs do.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

The lights were never off. this is another bullshit story that conspiracy nut jobs have made up. There is no proof of this happening and it is ridiculous to even think it did.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

At those speeds and energies they act just like a wrecking ball! Have you seen what plain old water can do at high speeds?

why did bush fight the investigation, underfund it, refuse to testify under oath and not without cheney by his side?
No President will go under oath to testify if they don't have to. It isn't just this administration. That is just the way it is.
And yes how many people have read all the reports. The NIST reports would be a good place for people like you to start. But again, probably too much fact in these for you to believe it.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

RolandTD20Kdrummer wrote:As per Scott Forbes: "Many, many people worked on the power down, both from the IT department and from the business, revalidating systems when they were available again. Other people can validate my information. Some people do not remember the circumstances, some people will not revisit that time ... but others acknowledge the power down freely and can validate my information."
Forbes is a dumbass as seen below.
"There are problems with this account.
#1, it's sourced by one person only, Scott Forbes, and corroboration seems limited. In an interview he said, for instance:
SF: Many, many people have talked to me about the power down and one person was contacted by a journalist as a backup source for my information.
http://killtown.blogspot.com/2005/12/scott-forbes-interview.html
But why only one? And where is this backup? The WTC held the offices of many large, important companies, and to have their central computers turned off would have been extremely inconvenient. To put it mildly. Thousands of people would have known about this, from local employees to staff in other parts of the company. So where are they?
Actually there may be a clue in a subsequent Forbes interview:
GW: How do you know that there was no electricity from floor 50 up, if Fiduciary Trust was on much higher floors -- starting at the 90th floor?
SF: I can't absolutely verify that there was no power on lower floors ... all I can validate is that we were informed of the power down condition, that we had to take down all systems and then the following day had to bring back up all systems ...
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2005/11/interview-with-scott-forbes.html
So Forbes doesn’t appear to have any direct knowledge of conditions on floors below his own, and perhaps above (which makes sense, of course). If only one or two companies were affected then this would make the lack of corroboration more noticeable; of course, this also presents fewer opportunities to prepare the building for demolition."
One guy who can't even get his shit straight is not factual evidence. Once again...NO PROOF OF ANYTHING!Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

How come you ignore facts such as it took a demolition company 24 days to wire a much smaller building? Ignore the facts and keep coming up with peoples opinions that make things sound suspicious but prove absolutely nothing and distorting the real facts.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

Great article from real experts...

Water is a terrible comparison, it has a density factor of 1.

Where have I promoted or quoted other peoples mere opinions and stated them as facts? I have quoted first hand accounts of people's direct observations and testimonies related to the event.

What Roland said about water ( speedy fucker ) slap yourself with a feather, or stand on a coke can.0 -
it makes me sad to think that the lives of the innocient victums have been scared by the actions of a leader who only protects himself and not the wonerful lives of his constituents. and now they have to carry the shame of one mans greed on thier shoulders while thier young return to the land of freedom in coffins. shame on you bush the fortunate and rich need the backs of the poor and the under privlagde to stand on0

The BIG question for me is...why did it take Hollywood 51/2 years to make a film of this?;) Did it really take that long for America to become desensitized enough for there to be profit? ?Or was it a revenge issue? ie , we've killed enough innocent muslims to square this now, let the money roll.0

A lot of these other people or first hand accounts that you have referred to have been completely false or they have taken facts and left out information to try to prove their point.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.
