To be brief, the Danish Prime Minister on live television admits to being informed 5-10 minutes prior to the collapse of the South Tower.
Is he lying? If not, then who told him the tower would collapse eventhough such an event had never happened in the history of stell framed skyscrapers, or since?
Time to pull your heads out of the dark. 911 was an inside job, how obvious does it have to be?

I was watching the buildings burn on television with co-workers. One of them said... "It's going to collapse!" 20 minutes later... it did.
So, was she in on it, or does she get a cool million from Randi?

"I received a message 5-10 minutes before it physically happened saying there was impending danger the tower would collapse so I knew disaster was coming" doesn't mean what you seem to think it does.
And why the **** would anyone inform the Danish Prime Minister?!?! Those evil inside jobbers must be total morons. And yet they pulled off the biggest and most perfectly planned (yet moronically overcomplicated) crime of all time.
Yes, it's obvious! :newlol

I have to ask this: who the hell would want to inform the Danish prime minister of a building collapse in a country halfway across the world five minutes before the event? I mean seriously, what influence is he supposed to have on the event? Is he supposed to adopt an evil pose, get out his white cat and rub his hands gleefully or something?
I really don't get it.
This is some serious straw-clutching - I suppose that's all that's left for the Truthers. The last throes of a dying corpse.

Who told him that there was a "danger" of collapse? Answer please.
My guess, he talked to one of the millions of people on earth perceptive enough to realize that the tower was suffering so much damage, there was a possibility that it could not survive.
Edited to add: on 9/11/01 at 09:41:38 AM Fark Forum member Mungo made the following post:
"From the Telegraph:
....
There are fears the towers could collapse due to structural damage."
Maybe the Prime Minister was reading Fark.

Having been within sight (from a safe distance) of the north tower collapse, I said the same thing at about the same time.
We now know that NY Police helicopters were circling the towers and someone reported to the Mayor's staff the fact that the beams on the impact floors has started to buckle and some form of collapse was probable.

Probably one of many people who watched the towers burn and figured the building would collapse.
Such people include the FDNY. Are they in on it, thewholesoul?
Yeah I guess they are. After all, the FDNY knew WTC7 would come down, so.....

Rather annoyingly, it appears that DR who made the programme, '24 hours we'll never forget', have decided not to make it available on demand :(
Would have been nice to see the context in which the comment was made.
Also, for what it's worth, the PM in question called an election 2 months after 9/11 and lost heavily (partially due to some voters believing he was trying to scare them into voting for the "stable choice" of keeping the government in place). The PM that followed him is the current Secretary General of NATO.

The former Danish Prime Minister was told by the media, like everybody else on that day. Within 5-10 minutes of the collapse of the south tower, everybody watching the news would probably several times have heard that the tower were in danger of collapsing.
By the way it was not on live television, but on a recorded show about days in peoples lives that they don’t forget, so he was not admitting anything he simply explained that he was told about 5-10 minutes before the actual collapse that it MIGHT happen, not that it was going to happen. And judging by the way he said it, it was probably closer to around 5 minutes before than 10 minutes.
It is quite easy here in Denmark, being a small country, to contact and get an answer from a politician, even a former Prime Minister, but none of the 350 members of the Danish truth movement even considered that, instead they go: “it makes you wonder”
Grizzly Bear
16th October 2009, 12:03 PM
So this whole argument basically stems from incompetents who think steel is absolutely invincible against the effect of heat, and unevenly distributed loads. And therefore anyone who believed the collapses would or might happen at the time is more than likely a perpetrator or co conspirator in the cover up. And they even through in the argument that if it hasn't happened before then it can't happen ever.
Everything and the kitchen sink this time... I'm not sure that deserves a whole lot of praise...

In one of the You Tube debates with the in truther circles now famous Danish Prime Minister statement, Niels Harrit joined with two very short comments.
He replied to why the OEM and FDNY couldn’t predict that the tower was in danger of collapsing:
Because such a thing had never happened before. The thought cannot be thought.
And further:
Because predictions are based on experience.
You cannot foresee rain if rain has never fallen.
A steel-framed high-riser had neved collapsed due to fire.
It is rather simple.

This thread is officially stupid from the start. Being "informed" ahead of time does not indicate the presence of the forever stupidly named "inside job". It can mean someone used common sense to evaluate what was already known!
"Approximately 40 minutes after I arrived in the lobby, I made a decision that the building was no longer safe. And that was based on the conditions in the lobby, large pieces of plaster falling, all the 20 foot high glass panels on the exterior of the lobby were breaking. There was obvious movement of the building, and that was the reason on the handy talky I gave the order for all Fire Department units to leave the north tower."
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/20050812_WTC_GRAPHIC/Callan_Joseph.txt
"And also met with Chief Tony Whitaker, who is the commanding officer of the World Trade Center. At that point he told me he felt that Building 1 was going to collapse, very soon, based on what he had seen.
http://www.thememoryhole.org/911/pa-transcripts/
My Thayer School engineering training came back, and I realized that with that intensity of heat in a building in which the steel girders were insulated with asbestos, it had to collapse within one hour. I called the fire department, police, etc. and told them the building was guaranteed to collapse. I was told that 911 was only for emergencies, and I should callsomewhere else.
After about 40 minutes, as I saw (I have telescopes, binoculars, etc.) the top segment of the building listing about 3 degrees, I left my apartment and went out to walk in the street. Buidlings collapse if they list more than 3 degrees. As I walked down Bleecker Street, people gasped as the building collapsed. Like Lord Jim, my imagination surpasses any reality. I should have stayed and watched. I did for the second tower.
...We watched the second building, and I noticed it was more than 3 degrees, but as the telescope revealed, that was because the beams were buckling on both sides. A building like the WTC does not 'break off in the middle' and fall like a tree.
http://www.alum.dartmouth.org/classes/62/bombdough.htm
Are any of those quotes indicative of an inside job? If not, why is the Danish PM's? Knowing that the towers were going to collapse means that someone understood the precariousness of the situation and the fact that the towers were severely compromised from the beginning. Being informed by that someone simply means you've been exposed to that person's knowledge. Not a single bit of this means "inside job" by any stretch of the imagination.
Furthermore, there might be even more pedestrian reasons for "knowing": Word could have been passed from someone who saw the famous BBC story i.e. the "pre-knowledge" report and thought it was a prediction rather than a report. The OP contains a false dichotomy: Is the PM lying or did he know about a supposed "inside job". No, there are multiple other possibilities. Don't fall prey for the OP'ers silly and transparent attempt to limit the playing field by limiting the choices. He off all people should know after being time and time again refuted just how weak such attempts to shape the debate are. Please let this thread die; there's nothing here at all.

Guilianni was told as well so the powerful were told, but not the people in the towers. Just as Mayor Willie Brown and US generals were warned not to fly on 9/11. Just as many people were warned. But not if you didn't happen to be rich or powerful or connected.

I am curious as to why the 9-11 Truthers don't simply ask all these people who got warnings about the tower collapse, "who told you?".
and then, ask those peope how they knew.
why do Truthers refuse to do any of the leg work?
maybe its because they know they will get the EXACT same answer...every time.
"based on my fire and engineering experience, I assumed that based on the damage and hot fires, and my visual observation and conversations with others at the site, I and others determined that the building may collapse. and indeed it did".
this is the ONLY answer they will EVER get. and they know it.
...on a side note, the longer I boycott all conspiracy theory websites, the more I realize how very non-existant these ideas are in the real world. I haven't been to a CT web site in at least a month, and I travel all over NYC and was in Philly last weekend. I have seen NOTHING dealing with 9-11 theories.

Don't read this (http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php?p=2834132&postcount=98) Bill and keep saying it over and over and over again. Don't you know if you keep saying it over and over and over again it suddenly becomes true? :rolleyes:
PS, Off the top of my head I can think of at least two massive offshore steel framed structures that have collapsed due to fire. Keep dreaming Bill, keep dreaming.

I was watching the buildings burn on television with co-workers. One of them said... "It's going to collapse!" 20 minutes later... it did.
So, was she in on it, or does she get a cool million from Randi?
The very instant a colleague of mine heard 2 planes had hit NY and before the rest of us had any idea what was going on, she immediately said, "They've killed the crew. They must have flown the planes. Every other plane will have to be grounded". Is she psychic? Is she Bin Laden in drag? No, her husband is a commercial pilot and she thought it was blindingly obvious. Is it so shocking to realise that there are people who simply know more than you?

Let's just say that the Truthers believe:
1) That the Death Star (WTC 1 & 2) couldn't have been hit by Luke Skywalkers X-Wing.
2) That the Torpedo Bay onboard the Death Star (Pentagon) wasn't hit by an X-Wing fighter, but rather a photon torpedo (cruise missile).
3) That Sector 7 (WTC7) wasn't hit by debris after the Y-Wings attacked.
4) That Empire Palpatine (Bush) was responsible for a cover-up to explode the Death Star from the Inside.
Thus the Death Star exploding was an Inside Job and Conspiracy by the Galantic Empire (U.S. Government).

But the question remains, if the small thermal exhaust port right below the main port was ray-shielded, how did a proton torpedo penetrate it? I mean, ray-shields are stronger than torpedos, so anyone with common sense and 2 minutes of video has to conclude that it's an inside job! I'm only asking questions.

the orders came from the top. the office of emergency management (OEM).
from an oral history of Peruggia:
"At that point I went back into the building. I was in a
discussion with Mr. Rotanz and I believe it was a
representative from the Department of Buildings, but
I'm not sure. Some engineer type person, and several
of us were huddled talking in the lobby and it was
brought to my attention, it was believed that the
structural damage that was suffered to the towers was
quite significant and they were very confident that the
building's stability was compromised and they felt that
the north tower was in danger of a near imminent
collapse.I grabbed EMT Zarrillo, I advised him of that
information. I told him he was to proceed immediately
to the command post where Chief Ganci was located.
Told him where it was across the street from number 1
World Trade Center. I told him "You see Chief Ganci
and Chief Ganci only. Provide him with the information
that the building integrity is severely compromised and
they believe the building is in danger of imminent
collapse." So, he left off in that direction."
then regarding wtc 7, could this be that same "engineer" predicting 7 collapse.
Deputy Chief Hayden - start at 19:35
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9072062020229593250#
Hayden: "Well we had our special operations people set up surveying instruments to monitor and see if there was any movement of the building. We were concerned of the possibility of collapse of the building, and we had a discussion with one particular engineer and we asked him if we allowed it to burn could we anticipate a collapse and, if so, how soon. And it turned out that he was pretty much right on the money that he said in its current state you have about five hours."

this is also interesting. later in the oral history of Peruggia:
"Looking up at it, you could see that, you
could see through the smoke or whatever, that there was
significant structural damage to the exterior of the
building. Very noticeable. Now you know, again, this
is not a scene where the thought of both buildings
collapsing ever entered into my mind.
I was there in 1993, 14 minutes after the
bomb went off. I operated some 16 hours at the
building and with all the post-incident critiques and
debriefings with various agencies. We were always told
by everyone, the experts, that these buildings could
withstand direct hits from airplanes. That's the way
they were designed. They went through all of this
architectural stuff, way beyond the scope of my
knowledge."

This is a post I put up some time ago. Within it I linked to some info on it though not the article I read years ago.
It is a strange belief, Truthers have, that steel skyscrapers are seemingly indestructible. It seems that the mechanizations of disaster overlook these mighty structures and, as only the hand of man can create them, so too can only the hand of man bring them down. Truthers actually seem to think this is some sort of consensus opinion. This notion seems to be drawn from the often cited absence of steel skyscraper collapse prior to 9/11. This of course overlooks the relative scarcity of steel skyscrapers in comparison to other structures and the resultant improved maintenance and oversight of these structures.
So, is the failure of these structures to fail because of the fastidious upkeep by their owners or the perfection of their design?
In the late 70's the Citicorp Building rose above midtown Manhattan, the worlds largest Central Business District, as a testament to innovative engineering. The building was supported by a stilt structure that elevated it above a local church and accomplished this with an elaborate framing structure designed by William J. LeMessurier.
However, unknown to anyone at the time of its opening, the building was structurally compromised by a change in design during construction when welded joints were abandoned for cheaper bolted joints. LeMessurier stumbled upon this discovery himself and informed the buildings owners who decided to take action immediately.
From an article in Damn Interesting (http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=500#more-500):
Work began immediately, and continued around the clock for three months. Welders worked all night, and carpenters labored during the day. In case of imminent disaster, an evacuation plan was put in place for the surrounding area, but the general public knew nothing of the circumstances… the press was on strike at that time, so news of the repairs did not disseminate to the populace. About halfway into the repairs Hurricane Ella formed, and it appeared to be on a collision course with Manhattan, but fortunately the storm veered out to sea rather than testing the limits of the half-repaired building. The reinforcements were completed in September of 1978, and the entire structure was re-evaluated for safety.
So, it seems that plain old wind could have brought down a mighty indestructible steel skyscraper. To a Truther this will make no sense since never before has a steel skyscraper been toppled by wind and Truther logic dictates that anything without precedent, apparently, can't happen*. So, it seems that Citicorp either wasted all that time and money on an unnecessary structural improvement or were really up to something else, nefarious doings no doubt.
So, what about fire? Well, besides the often discussed Windsor Tower something that was a lot more relevant to me on the morning of September 11th was the fire in the First Interstate World Tower on the 4th of May, 1988. On that date a fire started on the 12th floor and spread to four more floors as firefighters found water to fight the fire lacking due to construction that was installing sprinklers on upper floors. Consequently the fire grew larger than office fires usually do. This greatly worried people on site but ultimately the building did not collapse. Why? Fire Fighter analysis (http://www.mace.manchester.ac.uk/project/research/structures/strucfire/CaseStudy/HistoricFires/BuildingFires/interstateBank.htm) points to:
It was also shown that if fire protection to structural members is adequately designed and applied with quality control, fire damage to fire exposed members will be minimised and structural collapse can be prevented.
That's right, the fire protection stayed intact as it had been applied in a quality controlled manner and that saved the building. In the WTC that fire protection was compromised so......one has to wonder, what was supposed to save the WTC? Happy thoughts, rainbows and puppy whiskers?
So, Truthers, steel skyscrapers are marvels of engineering but like all things humans build they are prone to failure should certain conditions manifest themselves and the fact that building owners usually keep their costly investments away from those conditions is not evidence of their indestructibility it is evidence of their value.
*Truthers are inconsistent with this logic since they continually insist that the US Government kills, or wishes to kill, thousands of its own citizens for personal gain despite the lack of precedent for this.
