I'm sure we've all seen this video before, but I noticed something very interesting--I can't believe I didn't notice it before.

Pay attention to the base of the building. That is the point from which the collapse proceeds. Now you can see at 00:17-00:18...

But there's more than just sight. There's also sound. Listen to the sound that you hear at the very moment the fireball appears.

None of the three WTC buildings had anything like that. If they were demolitions, the demolition somehow had to be concealed from the public.

Can you think of any method the perps might have used to accomplish such a feat?

This is one of the CTers' major Achille's heels.

Most have no response and will simply ignore it as they do with any piece of evidence that contradicts their ideology. But I suppose a brave few will provide us with the testimony of a handful of people that heard random small explosions and try to pretend that these are in fact the detonation charges that in every other controlled demolition in history are enormously loud and very distinctive, and are heard by everyone in the area for miles around.

Perhaps there are "silencers" for explosives to create quiet detonations. I can't believe the NWO didn't send out a memo regarding this.:p

we've all seen tons of video of the collapses. none of them include the large amounts of explosion sounds that would accompany a controlled collapse.

if bombs did go off...the sound would have echoed through the canyons of skyscrapers and be heard atleast a mile away. did people a mile away from the WTC ......even blocks away...hear explosions?

NOPE

Were they?


9/11/2001 radio broadcast: "...I was just standing there, ya know... we were watching the building [WTC 7] actually 'cuz it was on fire... the bottom floors of the building were on fire and... we heard this sound that sounded like a clap of thunder... turned around - we were shocked to see that the building was... well it looked like there was a shockwave ripping through the building and the windows all busted out... it was horrifying... about a second later the bottom floor caved out and the building followed after that... we saw the building crash down all the way to the ground... we were in shock."

yes alot ppl reposrted things like explosions, and thanks to JREF and other Debunkers we know now that those ppl all heard something else, but not explosives, cause the buildings was not demolished, and we know that because noone reported explosions :)

Really?

CRAIG BARTMER NYPD: "I walked around it (Building 7). I saw a hole. I didn't see a hole bad enough to knock a building down, though. Yeah there was definitely fire in the building, but I didn't hear any... I didn't hear any creaking, or... I didn't hear any indication that it was going to come down. And all of a sudden the radios exploded and everyone started screaming 'get away, get away, get away from it!'... It was at that moment... I looked up, and it was nothing I would ever imagine seeing in my life. The thing started pealing in on itself... Somebody grabbed my shoulder and I started running, and the ****'s hitting the ground behind me, and the whole time you're hearing "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom." I think I know an explosion when I hear it... Yeah it had some damage to it, but nothing like what they're saying... Nothing to account for what we saw..."

OK, LostChild, I get it.

"People heard explosions!"....but you can't produce a single video that records the deafening noise of a demolition sequence.

You know something that sounds like BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!!

If someone heard the charges then there'd certainly be video of it given how many cameras were around GZ that day.

Besides, haven't twoofers learned anything from the Pentagon? Over 100 people can see a plane hit the building....but we don't know for sure what happened unless we have a picture! :D So get it to twoofers: find that recording of the CD charges taking down the towers or WTC7!

As for how the NWO covered up the sound so well, I asked Doug Plumb of AE911 that question back in July and he assured me that we didn't hear the charges because the noise blended in with the sound of the collapse itself. :eek:

please do not use that phrase when you do not understand its usage.

YOur comment from your witness does not support a controlled demolition, and anyone with half brain could see he was using a SIMILE (you know that term that you troofers have hard time understanding. ask Dylan cause he was schooled by a BBC interviewer on what it means)

Again, I told YOU TO WATCH ALL VIDEOS OF CONTROLLED DEMOLITIONS, so you CAN GET when those successive explosions happen. apparently, you are not even capable of understanding how to do that on your own.

Do you have to be told how to do things?

Sound travels at 331 meters per second. If we assume he was about 300 meters away then the sound he heard a second before collapse actually occured 2 seconds before collapse.

CHF
7th May 2008, 10:06 PM
So are the witnesses who heard the explosions lying? Is Craig Bartmer and the guy who described the thunderclap lying? yes or no?

No I'm sure they heard loud noises. The question is do those reports and sounds match what we would expect from a controlled demolition? The answer is no.

In the case of a CD everyone hears the charges going off and every video captures the noise.

Yet you have only a few people claiming to have heard a CD sequence and no video.

So what did those people hear? Possibly the sound of steel beams failing. For example, here's a steel crane coming down.

Also, it is no good to just have the witness testimony of the inferno in wtc7, we need a photo. There were lots of cameras that day, can you show us a photo of this fully involved inferno?Ah so now we need photos/video again all of a sudden :rolleyes:

Arus808

actually it doesn't. You really need to do some research on your own and posses a modicum of reading comprehension


If he heard the sound a second before collapse then that means it happened 2 seconds before collapse.

and please give a frame of refernece how the person knew it was 2 seconds. Did he count one-onethousand, two-onethousand when he heard the "boom" and the saw the building collapse? OR was this is his "guess". You do realize that many people have no sense of time in chaotic situations?

If he heard it "2" seconds before collapse (again, we dont even know if this is true), then that "sound" happened more than seconds before. And again, YOU IGNORE THIS:

WHERE ARE THE many MANY SUCCESSION OF BLASTS?

by your own quote he said maybe all of 5-7 "boom, boom boom".

AGAIN, PLEASE WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS ON CONTROLLED DEMOLTIONS. if yoU BOTHERE TO DO SO, YOU'D NOTICE ONE THING THAT IS IN THEM THAT wasN'T THERE ON 9/11/2001

(psst.. its thousands of explosions. not 5-6 of them)

Sound travels at 331 meters per second. If we assume he was about 300 meters away then the sound he heard a second before collapse actually occured 2 seconds before collapse.


The east penthouse collapse 8.2 seconds before the exterior wall, so assuming the sound he heard occurred 2 seconds before he saw the exterior collapse, that means it happened 6.2 seconds into the collapse.

Okay, dude; I am going to stop you right there. I am going to point out that no one has proven that anything occurred 1 to 2 seconds before.

So are the witnesses who heard the explosions lying? Is Craig Bartmer and the guy who described the thunderclap lying? yes or no?

The thing is that the sound of controlled demolition explosions are nowhere near the level of what you hear on 9/11. Other things can sound like explosions, but demolition explosives have a volume that those other things didn't reach.

In short, they can be telling the truth and it still doesn't help your claim. We're looking for proof of an explosion of a specific volume or higher that would help your case. You might want to try and find proof of that before you go ahead and show the witness statements. We don't know the level of sound from what they say, unless they had their eye on a decibel measurer at the time.

Also, it is no good to just have the witness testimony of the inferno in wtc7, we need a photo. There were lots of cameras that day, can you show us a photo of this fully involved inferno?

We already know you're going to move the goalposts after we show you pics, so why bother asking the question when we know you're going to redefine inferno to something that's not useful to anyone involved? Besides, it's off topic, but search for other threads on it before starting your own. We've heard this [rule 10] before.

Did you watch any of those CD video clips posted earlier in this thread? They had lots of very loud charges going off and they were all in buildings which had been prepared for demolition. You know, the supports are already partially cut before they set off the charges, so in the case of WTC7 the charges would have had to be even bigger than the ones in those clips.

Please provide his paper that he has written, that shows his analysis of the building's collapse. and of course the evidence he used to prove his accounts

He's not actually qualified to make that claim. Implosion companies don't actually lay the charges, nor calculate the amount - they subcontract a blaster to do that job. Blasters typically work for companies that make demolition explosives. The amount and number of charges used is only determined after very careful physical inspection of the building as well as a close look at plans.

Pay attention to the base of the building. That is the point from which the collapse proceeds. Now you can see at 00:17-00:18...

http://forums.randi.org/imagehosting/168034822563e3e62b.jpg

But there's more than just sight. There's also sound. Listen to the sound that you hear at the very moment the fireball appears.

None of the three WTC buildings had anything like that. If they were demolitions, the demolition somehow had to be concealed from the public.

Can you think of any method the perps might have used to accomplish such a feat?

Note the flash of light in the pic.

Perhaps there are "silencers" for explosives to create quiet detonations. I can't believe the NWO didn't send out a memo regarding this.:p

Perhaps there are "darkeners" for explosives to explode without any visual effect as well. Another memo goes missing. Woooooo... :boggled:

I can't wait for the twoofers to bring up the "squibs". :newlol :rolleyes:

what you dishonestly ignore is that all he was shown was a video of the WTC 7 collapse, and was given biased information from acouple of truthers, by having them tell him that hte building was used by the CIA.

Please provide his paper that he has written, that shows his analysis of the building's collapse. and of course the evidence he used to prove his accounts



actually, that is not what he said, but we know that you are a liar.

stop it with the lies pls.

Jovenko did not only see the video and the info he was given was NOT biased, because it is actually a ANTI CT docu they made, but when it came to WTC 7 , the expert was pretty sure it was CDed.

He's not actually qualified to make that claim. Implosion companies don't actually lay the charges, nor calculate the amount - they subcontract a blaster to do that job. Blasters typically work for companies that make demolition explosives. The amount and number of charges used is only determined after very careful physical inspection of the building as well as a close look at plans.

Danny Jovenko is a Blaster. he is the guy that calculates and places the explosives. read his homepage.......

ok lets ask an Expert (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/kaboom/loizeaux.html)

NOVA: What kind of analysis goes into figuring out how to demolish a building?

SL: Well, we've got what we refer to as our historic database, which is largely in my father and my uncle's brain. Ninety-five percent of our knowledge has come from hands-on experience—learning, watching different structures, watching the way they move. A lot of times my father and my uncle will walk in a building and they'll say, "Oh, this is just like the such and such building. This is what we're going to do." So, there really isn't a class you can take. There's no book you can read that's going to teach you how to do this. It's really a practical physical understanding of how buildings work. You know, just because an engineer designed a building to work one way, it doesn't mean that, when they built it, that that's actually how it's working. We have to go in and decide what is load bearing, what is not—what is safe to remove, what isn't. So there's quite a bit of in-the-field analysis that goes on.

NOVA: Do you tend to look at blueprints?

SL: Well, 90 percent of the time we don't have them. A lot of times those plans have been misplaced or have disintegrated into dust. But when we do have them, yeah, we use them but we don't rely on them. There's a difference between 'as drawn' and 'as built'. And you never trust the drawings. That's why we do test shots, which is going in and picking out a few key columns and actually loading them with explosives and shooting them ahead of time, to understand the loads within the columns.

yes that was indeed not done i guess. im pretty sure it was not.

on the other hand, they also did not remove the drywalls or weakened the bunker, those things the same expert in the same interview told us would act as stifeners.

Sorry, I should be clear. I don't think it refutes his conclusion that it was CD, which is primarily based on how it looks. In fact I agree with him. I think the collapse of WTC7 does look very much like a CD.

I was using it more to refute his claim (or at least the claim others have attributed to him) that it could be rigged quickly.

That's not "on the other hand", it's more examples of things that weren't done that are always done in CD's, and for good reasons. Therefore, without pre-weakening of the structure, the demolition blasts would need to be even stronger - hence, louder - than in a conventional CD. Yet they were so quiet that nobody can agree whether they even happened or not. Doesn't that look a bit strange to you?

The thing is that the sound of controlled demolition explosions are nowhere near the level of what you hear on 9/11. Other things can sound like explosions, but demolition explosives have a volume that those other things didn't reach.




I have personally witnessed two separate building demolitions. the first one involved a complex of five apartment buildings. I was a quarter mile from two of the buildings and a half mile from the other three. They were blasted in sequence starting with the ones nearest me. All of the blasts were quite loud and clear and the sound of the blasts were distinctly louder and different from the sound of the buildings collapsing.

In the second demolition I witnessed, I was again a quarter mile from the buildings when the charges went off.

In both cases, from a quarter mile off, (and to a lesser degree from a half mile away) not only were the charges loud and distinct, but you could actually feel the shockwaves from the blasts hitting your chest cavity (like someone thumping your chest with their fist).

There are no reports of this sort of a blast effect in any of the witness statements.

Disbelief
8th May 2008, 05:17 AM
So are the witnesses who heard the explosions lying? Is Craig Bartmer and the guy who described the thunderclap lying? yes or no?

Also, it is no good to just have the witness testimony of the inferno in wtc7, we need a photo. There were lots of cameras that day, can you show us a photo of this fully involved inferno?

So, you need a photo of the wtc7 inferno, because the eyewitness testimony of many firefighters is not enough, but you will take the testimony of Bartmer without audio evidence of CD blasts? Why the inconsistency?

8th May 2008, 05:22 AM
More importantly....how did the NWO get Craig Bartmer and the guy interviewed on the radio to lie about massive noises that werent there?

At no point did I say the noises were not there.

The question is whether or not the noises heard match up with what would be heard during a CD. The answer to that is NO.

I suppose we just found another of those "first time ever" events that the twoofers think happened on 9/11.

First ever top-down demolition of a skyscraper...first ever use of thermite in a demolition...first ever demolition with a plane flown into the set-up...and now the first ever demolition where the noise of the charges was too quiet to be captured on tape.

I didn't know that's exactly what was claimed. I thought one of the main conspiracy theories was thermate coupled with explosive devises. (at least in the towers). Now if it's your claim a fire and structural damage to a few floors near the top can take down an entire building then just how many cd charges in addition to that would be needed that would also have to be caught on tape from deep inside the tower and maybe a few floors under ground?

You are the one who thinks the WTC was a CD, LC.

You are the one who thinks the buildings could not have collapsed from structural damage and fire.

So maybe it's time you figured out how much exploives would be needed to do what you claim was done. Be sure to factor in the "removal of all resistance," the concrete that was "blasted into dust" or the steel beams that were "ejected horizontally by the force of the explosives," or whatever other idiotic CD talking-points you believe.

Once you've figured out the answer then you can start to figure out why the explosives didn't make more of a noise.

Any reports of any kind of noise support the controlled demolition theory.

I could swear I remember you saying "I'm not a twoofer" a month or two ago.

Jovenko did not only see the video

No, but were other informations shown to him other than one floor plan? In the interview (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3271662324445998224&q=jowenko&ei=QfYiSPWhHIaG2wLDkJC_AQ) he even says "I don't know the construction of the building" [1:25]. At around the 5th minute [5:09] he says "...let's say there were H-profiles", showing he does not know what kind of columns were used in the construction. After being asked "Could this building [WTC7] spontaneously collapse for example because these columns are damaged in this way?" he says "I have absolutely no single picture of the side of those big towers, building number seven" [the translation seems to be pitiful from what I can say as a German; what he says is more akin to "no single picture looking from the sides of the world trade center towers towards building number seven"]. He repeats this and the interviewer agrees they don't have more at the end of the 16th minute [16:55]. Then, at the end of the 8th minute he says after being asked whether or not fire could have had something to do with the collapse he says he can't imagine burning pieces could fly so far, but also "I don't know, it's guessing for me." And so on. In the 11th minute he says (again) "I don't know the building."

when it came to WTC 7 , the expert was pretty sure it was CDed.

There goes your expert. He's pretty sure it's a "CD" after sighting a single level floor plan, the radius the debris spread and some videos of most likely only one side of the building. Not much to base something on, don't you agree?

and the info he was given was NOT biased, because it is actually a ANTI CT docu they made,

So information given in an anti-CT documentary is not biased? Okay. Maybe so. But why then comments from you such as this one:
oc nobody heard it, becuase JREFers know much better what those ppl heard that was there. its so easy, nobody heard explosions and when someone did he must be simply misstaken.....

In any case, what's with this WTC 7 talk anyway? Like I said here (http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php?p=3669415&postcount=180):

Even if WTC 7 was brought down by a controlled demolition, what does it prove? People can bring down buildings with explosives? As fas as I know, the NIST report about WTC 7 is so 'late' because WTC 7 was not of much or any interest for the investigation and not a reason for the war with Afghanistan. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if this was a controlled demolition, it proves nothing and does not support the NWO crap in any way.

Fertilizer bombs are considered (as far as I know) to be a primary explosive. They have a peak amplitude lower than secondary explosives which are used in CD charges. They are quieter than CD charges.

edit: Actually it would appear depending on confinement that ANFO can serve as both, you would have to talk to an explosive expert to determine the classification, but in any situation the explosive used in Linear Charges is usually RDX or something similar, a secondary explosive.

Are you really asking for audio of a bomb as proof it existed? How about you find me audio of the 1996 Manchester City Centre bombing. I heard that personally but hey I guess if you can't find audio it never happened!

Both of the above videos are excellent examples of high explosives, notice the extremely short duration and extremely high amplitude of each sound. This is what is missing from videos of the towers and WTC7s collapse. Such sounds are exceptionally loud, the pressure wave alone is capable of causing serious injury to the brain and other vital organs.

Only one sound remotely similar to these has ever been located on video and it is at an indeterminate point after the initial collapse of at least one tower.

Wow, so the best you can do to find a "silent" CD is one that the sound of the explosives was replaced by a music track. Not very good for your case. Oh, and Johnny, in the failed demo, they were trying to topple the structure. However, the unblasted supports could not handle the extra weight. Kinda like what happened with WTC 7 when 1 of the 3 main supports failed or in the towers when many of the columns failed.

I have watched the complete video. You hear the building collapse and then a relative silence. No explosive sequence at all. The support below the east penthouse is what collapsed. That's obvious by the east penthouse collapsing into the building. Now, can you provide proof that the remaining supports would have been able to support the added weight, especially after being exposed to heat for 7 hours?

First of all, that first video you linked? It was a failed controlled demolition. It failed because all of the charges did not go off. And the one charge that did go off was still very loud and distinctive.

Your second video also featured two very loud and distinctive detonation charges that were heard and recorded from a considerable distance.

Keep searching Youtube, sparky. I'm sure something will turn up.

The second video was also poorly recorded. The volume was so low you can only faintly hear the people yelling right next to the camera.

The controlled demolition of building 6 was pretty quiet.



Building 6 was pulled down with cables, as were all buildings in the WTC complex. The demolition contractor (Controlled Demolition Inc.) ruled out using explosives because the buildings were so badly damaged and because they didn't want to rupture the slurry wall.

DarkMagician

The controlled demolition of building 6 was pretty quiet.

That's because, as has been noted, that building was demolished by attaching and pulling cables. Unless you want to argue one or more of the buildings that fell that day were pulled down by this method instead, this is not helping your argument.

If you want to argue that at least one of WTC 1, 2, or 7 were taken down by cables, you're going to have more problems.

The East Mechanical Penthouse was supported by columns #76-81. NISTs preliminary theory proposes a failure of column #79 at or below floor 15. The exact location of the failure is unknown but may be more accurately determined in NISTs final report.

edit:
the buildings were so badly damaged
It should be noted this was for the safety of those setting charges, rather than technical difficulty. Regardless it's entirely plausible that cables were in fact an easier proposition than setting charges.

Again, theautbhor REFER to ALL the videos on Controlle demolition, there is one thing similar in all of them

THE MANY MANY MANY SOUNDS OF EXPLOSIONS, ALL HAPPENING IN SUCCESSION!


none of that were heard on 9/11/2001


I don't know how many times I've asked this question, but I have never received a response--any sort of response.

A controlled demolition does not involve random blasts at random intervals. There would be a thunderous series of explosions, going off almost simultaneously. The liars simply avoid the issue entirely.

How are all the witnesses to explosions on 9/11 still concealed from the duh duh duh bunkas?Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the concept of similies. People were quoted as saying they heard things which sounded like explosions. That does not mean what they heard was, in fact, explosives detonating. It's rather like how a handgun firing is sometimes described as sounding like a car backfiring.

In any case, it was demolition via explosive charges then those charges go off before the building collapses, not during the collapse. Also, demoliton charges are extraordinarily LOUD. Just about everyone in Manhattan would have heard demolition charges going off, and certainly every working camera microphone in the area would have easily recorded such sounds. No one would have missed or confused such distinctive sounds.

Then there's the fact that powerful explosives produce flashes of light and a significant blast wave. Curiously, neither of those unalterable physical effects of powerful explosives are present on any video of the collapses.

But I expect the above will not dissuade you from clinging to your notions of conspiracy...

So, you need a photo of the wtc7 inferno, because the eyewitness testimony of many firefighters is not enough, but you will take the testimony of Bartmer without audio evidence of CD blasts? Why the inconsistency?

Brought up again by aggle-rithm

Let me get this straight:

Any reports of any kind of noise support the controlled demolition theory.

However, firefighters eyewitness reports and numerous pictures of the huge volume of smoke pouring out of WTC7 do NOT support the idea that WTC7 was heavily involved in fire. The truthers require SOLID EVIDENCE! Pictures of ACTUAL FLAMES!!

From one of the firemen who was in WTC 1 whe n WTC 2 collapsed.
A few seconds after we got all our gear off, the building shook violently, damn near knocked you off your feet. You could hear a faint sound of a rumble. It wasn't loud, it was just a very faint rumbling sound. It lasted maybe about four seconds and then it got quiet and the lighting went out and the emergency lighting came on. The radios were completely quiet.

Then we heard this sound, this boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm like what the hell is that? It was four ESU cops coming down the stairs and they weren't even touching the tread. They were going from landing to landing. We had to put our backs up against the wall to get out of the way.

Hadn't someone calculated the approximate amount of explosive required to yield the structural collapse, I was just wondering what energy level would be required, and given the approximate speed of detonation we could calculate the peak over pressure and short range audible distance.

This would not include the propogation of the wave when it 'loses coherance' (err don't know the technical word for it) ie stops being a CRACK - (shock pause) - BOOM and Becomes a CRACKERKERKERKEKRBOOOOOORUUUUUUUUUMBLLLLLE, which is audible for One hell of a disFORKtance further than the distinct sound. (I don't just mean from reflection and tranducted sound, but where the blastfront peters out and the audio front catches up to it)

ETA - I mean when the shockwave degenerates into a sound wave IIRC it is a -cubic intensity/square distance function but brain no worky to well at demomo, in need of alcohol. will prob go and read up my fluid dynamics again, I will do so however when I want to (not for a random fundy)

Have any CD flavoured truthers ever had the misfortune to be near a lightning ground strike (within say 100m (sub 1 second if you are a flash and count type person)) compared with one say a 1.4km away (around 4 seconds)) they are very different types of sound, in some cases the sound can be louder the further away you are due to prolonged nature of the sound against just a painful shattering blast.

Have any of them ever been even to a small demolition, or a quarry, A tank show, played with simfire units, fired a shot gun, made pipe bombs or even anything to do with bloody explosives, and listened to them without LALALADigits in ears or idiot muffs on.

A commercial High Explosive (Not your subcrit or sosound combustible Black powders or Hmex) are more than loud, the difference in the intensity versus payload in the two is HOOOge, and would have been audible over the actual collapse over a much larger area,

Advice to the CD crowd go find an active quarry (you have net access or you wouldn't be a troother (never met one yet without net access)), ask if they do blasting do they allow public spectators to come and watch, if they do expect to be placed quite a distance away indeed if they do, and possibly made to wear ear protectors

Anyone from New York knows the approximate location of the Naudet footage of the collapse, that is, how many blocks away they were when it happened? I think they were at a firehouse at the time. But you can hear SOME noise from the collapse in that footage; no distinct reports from explosives but just a general noise of the collapse. Since the detonation of explosives would have been much louder than the sound of the collapse itself, the absence here is very significant.

I have been to two implosions myself, and the closest I got was three blocks away and I most definitely felt the shockwave of the BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. I am certain that the reports would have been heard at four times the distance, if not more.

The 1993 blast was roughly equal to 1,000 pounds of TNT and located several floors below street level. It was was was heard inside most of the WTC complex buildings. I can't find a news report to confirm it, but a friend was a long block away at the time and he said he heard the blast. It would have taken several (many?) of these charges to bring down one tower in any way similar to the way it happened.

In 2001, any similar blast would have been caught on the sound track of every video camera in operation.

IMO, most CD proponents are unaware of just how big the towers were and how massive the resulting structural elements were compared to those in any other man-made demolition.

They tested steel from all levels but clearly they performed the most testing on the samples they had from the Fire/Impact floors.

Makes sense, since those floors were CLEARLY where the planes impacted, the fires evolved and the collapses initiated.

So looking there is NOT jumping to a conclusion.

It's POSSIBLE that there were explosives set off in different parts of the building. However, since no effects from these explosives were observed, it's safe to say that they weren't a factor in the collapse.

It also does not detract from the culpability of the people who plotted to fly planes into buildings.

If you look carefully at the "evidence" presented by the truthers, it all has a common purpose: To link someone within the US to the 9/11 attacks. It would not have a realistic purpose in terms of committing the actual crime -- only in implicating someone's preferred suspects.

In the interview (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3271662324445998224&q=jowenko&ei=QfYiSPWhHIaG2wLDkJC_AQ) he even says "I don't know the construction of the building" [1:25]. At around the 5th minute [5:09] he says "...let's say there were H-profiles", showing he does not know what kind of columns were used in the construction. After being asked "Could this building [WTC7] spontaneously collapse for example because these columns are damaged in this way?" he says "I have absolutely no single picture of the side of those big towers, building number seven" [the translation seems to be pitiful from what I can say as a German; what he says is more akin to "no single picture looking from the sides of the world trade center towers towards building number seven"]. He repeats this and the interviewer agrees they don't have more at the end of the 16th minute [16:55]. Then, at the end of the 8th minute he says after being asked whether or not fire could have had something to do with the collapse he says he can't imagine burning pieces could fly so far, but also "I don't know, it's guessing for me." And so on. In the 11th minute he says (again) "I don't know the building."



There goes your expert. He's pretty sure it's a "CD" after sighting a single level floor plan, the radius the debris spread and some videos of most likely only one side of the building. Not much to base something on, don't you agree?



So information given in an anti-CT documentary is not biased? Okay. Maybe so. But why then comments from you such as this one:


In any case, what's with this WTC 7 talk anyway? Like I said here (http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php?p=3669415&postcount=180):

take a look at these column profiles. How could you access the web of the column without torching off the plates?

now lets talk about thermal expansion. The column to the right in particular. what would happen to the web of that column if the built up plates began to expand due to exposure to fires? with the web being insulated from the fire by the air space between the web and the filler plates. Could the column split or fracture at the intersection of the flange and web?

Perhaps there are "silencers" for explosives to create quiet detonations. I can't believe the NWO didn't send out a memo regarding this.:pWe did but some never got it.

Did no one claim to hear any explosions?

We have been over this before.
This twoofer claimed that ALL camcorders that people were using during 9-11 had their noise filter ON and AUTOMATICALLY when they were recording.
I asked him to provide with such evidence and he linked me to an european camcorder with noise reduction.
We the members of the NWO are sending him again on another vacation, all expenses paid in full.

Anyone from New York knows the approximate location of the Naudet footage of the collapse, that is, how many blocks away they were when it happened?


Which collapse?

Jules was in the lobby of WTC1 when WTC2 collapsed and Gideon was at the Firehouse.

When WTC1 collapsed Jules was about a block away and Gideon was a little further away.

When WTC7 collapsed they were both at the firehouse and didn't catch it on camera.

The 1993 blast was roughly equal to 1,000 pounds of TNT and located several floors below street level. It was was was heard inside most of the WTC complex buildings. I can't find a news report to confirm it, but a friend was a long block away at the time and he said he heard the blast.



One particular office worker in the towers initially thought an aircraft had hit the building, ironically enough.

Also to consider, the Oklahoma City Bombing was felt (let alone heard) 55 miles away.

gumboot: So the footage of the WTC7 collapse in the CBS "9/11" video wasn't filmed by the Naudets? Interesting ... I didn't know that.

No, the documentary "9/11" by the Naudet brothers includes quite a lot of footage from other sources.

I don't know why you're asking me, but where's the intersection of the flange and web to be found? Is it those little black parts? :confused:

I was using your post because it quoted Jowenko. I was asking CTs in general in this thread. not you, the flange is the thicker blue part in the cross section. Te web is the skinny blue part in the cross section

Yup. I have a friend that was several miles away at the time of the blast. It knocked her down and shattered the windows of the gas station she was at.

NIST also jumped to a conclusion. initiated collapse = global collapse.
and also they jumped to the conclusion that impact damage and fires alone initiated collapse.



A THOUSAND serious researchers--structural engineers, fire safety specialists, physicists, metallurgists--worked for almost four years to produce TEN THOUSAND pages of analysis, graphs, simulations, tables, diagrams, etc., and they JUMPED TO A CONCLUSION????

Do you people shovel this stuff without laughing out loud?

You've just opened the floodgates to the standard truther response to your statement:

Oh yea? What serous researchers--what engineers, what fire safety specialists, what physicists, what metallurgists? What did each of them say? Do you have any direct quotes from them? How do we know they REALLY support the official story?

See. Around and around it goes. It obviously makes NO difference who one is, no matter how qualified one is, no matter what evidence is presented, nothing could ever change their minds about anything that happened on 911.

Cheney why don't you simply explain why so many of these experts disagree with you instead of playing the ridiculous little game that I properly predicted in my post 193 above. Do your own research. If the opposing side to your argument has lots of very qualified people who support it one would think you would be the one finding out who they are, because if they indeed exist you must ask yourself WHY.

So, let's just replace thousands with 'lots and lots of really qualified people from around the world' and go from there. Do you know something they don't?

well i know where to find a list of those ppl. in the NIST report. but somehow it was nowhere near 1000, or i must have missed that part of the NIST report. So before i going to claim that Pomeroo once again is caught lieng. i would have hoped you can post me a list of those 1000 NIST WTC investigators.
maybe the number is correct. i just missed that part of the NIST report.

DC, I'm still waiting for you to post a video of a CD that was done before or since 9/11 that did not record the sound of the explosives. Not some video that has a sound track replacing the audio track of the raw video or has the audio removed or muted. A video where you hear the people around talking and reacting to the demo that is reasonably close and no sound of the CD explosives on it. I hope that makes it very clear what I expect from you. It's time for you to adhere to the level of standards that you expect from us.

You could always contact some of the project heads in a friendly manner and ask How many people worked on the Structural Analysis/Fire Propagation etc parts of the report,

Or you could email the General Media contact and ask if there is a list of those individuals. You do have net access I take it, or if all else fails you could write them a nice letter, sometimes the old ways yield nicer results.

You could say it is for research or whatever word you wish to use when you find out those little details (facts) to back up your thoughts and assumptions (accusations). I would recommend that you do not Go off on one in the Email/Letter otherwise I might get a phone call in the middle of the night to steal occasional socks or premerturely curdle your milk Walk slowly infront of you dressed as a fat elderly lass on a narrow path (I get all the cruddy NWO jobs, they have to be done but when do I get to remote detonate peoples heads, 'tsnot fair *pout*)

Yeah, he's moved on to "thermite" now, so don't hold your breath. Just wait a month or so once this and other related threads have died down, and he'll be claiming explosives again. It's the Circle of Truth!

This 'ere Truth Ring Road we are merrily pootling along, before we get back to thermite are we going to be stopping soon at " ~ Space Beams ~", home of Judy's Noodles and Gentlemans Club , or do you think we'll be heading straight to the MicroNuke Bar and Grilll, as I am bustin for a slash, and getting a bit of a thirst on.
