I dont know. its much more important that not a single person was hurt or killed. but I also dont believe that such a lie could be kept secret. someone would have alot to gain but telling the story of how they took down the building on purpose. regardless, I believe it came down because of the damage sustained and design of the building.
If the whistleblower had a family, a career, a life, they would have a lot more to lose than gain by going public...
So which is it? You say it would be impossible to keep secret, but you won't commit to the "fact" that it wasn't demolished. Is it possible that WTC7 was "pulled" intentionally or not?
It would have come down one way or another? Like all the other steel highrises that have collapsed over the years?jlew24asu wrote:fell perfectly? WTF does that mean. I saw nothing perfect about it. allow me to throw some common sense at you. the planes hit about 2/3 or higher up on the building destroying some major support columns. a very hot fire weakened (not melted) other support beams. WTC was the tallest concrete structure in the world. when the support gives way, the building has no where to go but DOWN. we in the scientific community call that gravity.
I thought at first maybe I shouldn't have used the word perfectly….but do you really think those buildings could have come down more cleanly (in a single-stage) if they WERE demolished? Obviously I'm not a part of your scientific community, but I think not. Oh, and since we're talking proof....prove to me that the impact destroyed the support columns, and knocked the fireproofing off of the steel. If the steel was weakened, not melted, what was the molten material pouring out the side of the building before the collapse? What were the pools of molten metal found during the cleanup? I know you must've answered this here before, but I don't remember your excuse. 'round we go...
Yes, I saw the damage footprint….I also saw other buildings in the complex with WAY more damage than WTC 7, half buried in rubble, reduced to steel skeletons, but STILL STANDING.0 -

yea yea yea I hear all about it. how many people died in the operation?

so a government which comes literally within one executive order away from killing it's people doesn't worry you. It doesn't open up the realm of possiblity, that it actually could happen.
You said that you were insulted that i suggested that your government was behind it, yet when i show you evidence that they had planned this in the past, you respond with a juvenile reply. Sad man......0 -

Not exactly comparable to thin air.

its just beyond me to think explosives were planted throughout 2 of the largest buildings in the world and then set off at such a perfect time without one single person noticing or saying something.
you would agree that money and power is a powerful thing. someone would have sooo much to gain by coming forward and saying they were involved. not only money but that person would go in the history books forever. this is all while having nothing to gain by staying quiet.
Yeah, but i know a little about the engineering and physics.
The tensile strength of that steel was probably about 36 kpsi and I would be willing to bet ANYTHING that the steel experienced forces greater then that. You know why? BECAUSE THEY FUCKING COLLAPSED!
So the point of bringing up the tensile strength of the steel is useless and just another example of saying stuff that sounds good but has nothing to do with anything and then just thinking people will nod their heads and say "yeah, good point. Government must have blown it up"Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

Show me how the tensile strength of steel (heck anything) is comparable to thin air, and I'll agree. Force is force. Negate it away if you want.

and none of my arguements have been shot down. Please tell me one that has. It is the other way around. You have been proven wrong on so many accounts but you choose to ignore facts and just come up with another theory. Examples: You say the buildings were wired during a power down. 'Only one building had a power down, explain the other buildings?' Response: Well it could have been done over months and years. Notice how you come up with a new theory?? You say there were no remains at the Pentagon. I show you proof of remains. If this was a debate i would have kicked your ass!
Like i said before. You want there to be a conspiracy so bad it hurts you. You would refuse to see the truth no matter what.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

MakingWaves wrote:Are you trying to say the buildings fell at Free Fall speed???
I will assume this is what you are trying to say. This is so idiotic. No one ever made this claim that they did but I have seen some conspiracy nuts say it fell in something like 8 seconds which would be impossible. Acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. The buildings are 417 metes tall. That equals 9.2 seconds. So it would be impossible for them to fall at that speed. The time for collapse was more likely around 14-15 seconds which would make perfect sense.
But go ahead, find something in the report that gives another time and twist it however you like, but frankly this is getting boring. It gets tiring reading all of these bullshit theories with no facts to back them up.
Fact
A video taken of the collapse shows at 11 seconds that the collapse of the South Tower is still under way. The cameraman began running at that point, but the sound of the building collapsing continues for many more seconds.
Freefall video evidence
According to NIST, the elapsed times for the first exterior panels to strike the ground after the collapse initiated was 11 seconds for WTC1 and 9 seconds for WTC2. NIST also points out that significant portions of the cores of both buildings (roughly 60 stories of WTC 1 and 40 stories of WTC 2) are known to have stood 15 to 25 seconds after collapse initiation before they, too, began to collapse.

you act like ppl like cheney would be hurt if they knew they caused harm to 3,000 ppl! don't be so naive! , what, 6 times that dies every year in the US from not having any health insurance! look at the regimes cheney and halliburton did work for, in fact when he was asked back then how he could do work for these ppl committing gross human rights violations he replied "it's easy, i don't think about it." they don't give a fuck about the regular person and they show that all the time...wake up from dream land where cheney sheds a tear over every stubbed toejlew24asu wrote:I am failing to see the link here. rummy was trying to cut military spending. ok and?

Like i said before. You want there to be a conspiracy so bad it hurts you. You would refuse to see the truth no matter what.
I never said anything about a power down. You are confused. I did say they had complete access to every part of the buildings for weeks, months etc though, which is 100% undeniable fact...not some theory. You showed me no human remains at the pentagon. My post prior to that was clearly talking about human remains and fingerprint identification to prove who was on the plane like the govt claimed. This is fact as well not theory.
You see, I have no joy in being right. I wish I was wrong. If I could see something... just one thing that would change my mind I would gladly reconsider, but alas I haven't found it yet, nor has anyone been able to show me it yet (and it's been a few years).

Once the ultimate tensile strength has been surpassed the steel column will fail. It would not shatter as dramatically as glass would but the steel would snap or buckle.Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

It would take longer than near free fall speed for those buildings to come down though. The tops just fell through the bottoms like warm butter. That's a stretch...especially in #7.Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
