PooperScooper321... what the hell are those pictures with the dots suppose to prove? That you lack artistic skills? Also, did you notice all the debris inside the holes in those pictures you posted? I guess not.

I think BS4-5=9 is actually having a laugh here, I can only assume this.
Admittedly it is not very funny but when you have mocked this event to the degree he is as, I'm sure one more laugh at it is highly amusing. Carry on BS, mocking and laughting at it all clearly appeals to you. There is a saying here in Scotland. "What goes around comes around". I'm sure one day it will BS. |

Did you have fun placing red dots at random places ?
You missed a few, by the way. Now, I'd agree that it's kinda funny how those round-ish shapes seem all over the place, but to jump to the conclusion that there's a "beam weapon" involved, without evidence, and contra the fact that beams weapons are FOCUSED into a narrow beam, is ridiculous. |

So why did the Death Ray O' Doom totally vapourize the towers, but only pepper the other buildings with a shotgun spread of holes? Were they just trying to be artistic?
Why wouldn't they have been satisfied with just smacking these buildings with a shiftload of falling debris? Not fun enough? "YeeHah! I'm the NWO, Beeatch!!" "WooHoo!"* *my model of the guys running the Gun of Death ray O' Doom. Sort of like the sensitive cops in Hitchhiker's Guide, but not as Sensitive. |

And why is that one little yellow dot off to the left side a different size? Did they have two Death Rays O' Doom? Or was that a bank shot?

Because you never know when you'll need to go down that rabbit hole, it's best to carry one with you.

OK, OK, I'll admit maybe a space based billiard ball weapon was also employed to destroy WTC 5 and 6 (what an earth for I don't know?).
So in conclusion the evidence presented shows Dr. Evil used his new "star wars beam weapon" and "billiard ball weapon of mass destruction" (BBWMD) on 9/11 to destroy WTC 5 and 6! |

TS1234, it's well known that all the beam weapons currently in deployment are triangular-shaped. Please draw your picture again using triangles.

In my mind I have this vision of Egon Spengler on Ghostbusters firing off his proton stream in the function room at the hotel...
"OK! OK! Alright, hold it! Hold it! Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa! ... Nice shooting, Tex! You've just destroyed WTC 5 and 6 dumbass that wasn't in the plan you'll ruin the cover up!" |

haha, funny.
All kidding aside, though, I'd anticipate this Beam Weapon o' Doom to have a significant and noticeable diffraction limited effect, given the size of the beam, it's anticipated origin, and the power levels involved. You'd almost surely see a Gaussian distribution of damage, leaving quite ordinary craters. The only alternative would be to see Fraunhofer patterns. Clean-edged circles, though -- just not possible. Pathetic. Even if you buy every step of his argument, it still points 180 degrees away from his conclusions... |

Just another point...assuming this is a space-based weapon, it must be in geosynch orbit, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to fire enough times to make those holes.
If plane-based, that's a hella-big plane, and it would've been flying about for some time. Even assuming some sooper-sekrit-mega-stealth-mule-kick-power-rangers-go-silent-invisible-nondiffracting-ultra-powerful-powerpuff-girls giganto laser is possible, the firing patterns don't line up. Not to mention that would've had to have been bursts, rather than continuous fire (which, with a moving beam, would leave roughly linear damage tracks). |

You're assuming they'd have to be in a free-fall orbit. If they have control of this sort of power in a space-based system, they could very well be in a powered orbit, that allows them to remain on-station even if they aren't in Geosync orbit.
And of course the whole shebang would have to be seriously stealthed to avoid being tracked visually, or on radar. Oh, and invulnerable, so the LEO sattelites that would hit it won't damage it. Oh, and a large supply of extra (and identical!) sattelites to spit out the back to replace the ones that ran into it. Nothing too complicated in that, is there? |

a geosynch orbit would have to be over the equator, but the holes are straight down, implying a direct fly-over, so it woul dhave to be an aircraft, perhaps TR-3B? lol

Hey guys, another little thing about the round holes. I'm no expert here, but with impact craters, the crater is always larger than the object, and often times the meteorite is far from being round, yet the crater is always very circular. It would seem to me that the debris that made the holes in the buildings was most likely smaller than the holes, and the shock from impact spread in a circular wave out from the point of impact. I'd wager it was the outer support members (That are seen allllll over those pictures) that caused the damage, after all, some of those larger chunks must have weighed many tons and should easily have been able to punch through a building. Please correct me if my thinking is off on this.

Well, the satellites are still there, aren't they? Therefore, they must have been replaced. The four rats have demonstrated it*.
Why yes, yes I do. Modesty prevents me from IDing *Quad Erat Demonstrandum, QED. How else would you translate it? |

Just to get us back on track. Notice the red arrow. TS1234's round beam seems to have cut a very nice right angle. I know a lot of woodworkers who'd like to learn that trick. It would save a fortune on mortising jigs. |

i think your standards of "same diameter" are pitiful at best
but assuming these are the deepest holes, and they are the same size, perhaps its because they were made by the same type of debris? we know the facade broke into more of less regular sized-sections (because they broke at the joints) perhaps those caused several holes of the same size |

Or the holes are partially constrained by the regular spacing of the roof structure. But probably a combination of both factors.
The larger holes would be where a large enough piece of debris directly impacted a cross beam, causing more damage in that local area, which was constrained by the next beam over. Take a look at my picture with the lines. I'd like to see TS's explanation for how so many holes line up in such neat rows, even when on opposite ends of the building. Seriously, does anyone have a diagram of the beam structure for this building? |

Boundary conditions? Do you even know what they are? Why not just say depressions or holes...something like that? Everytime you use language thats over your head - it makes you sound foolish, TS. I recommend you stop trying to sound smart, because every time you try to do so - the outcome is 180 degrees out of phase with your expectation and exponentially inversely proportional to your credibility.

btw, can we conclude that TS1234 does not believe the towers were blown by explosives? At least that's something we can build on.
