Complex event, half a million tonnes of steel and concrete and what have you fell to the ground, unexplained detail. Surprisy surprisy.. Unexplained detail? And then what? A detail that has what bearing on the overall conclusion exactly? unexplained = unexplainable? You claim there are a lot of such details. Well, there seem to be some work for you to do, then. Dig up the facts and find out what the explanation for these details are. Then, tie in all the other evidence, radar data, CVR recordings, FDR data, DNA evidence, photographic evidence etc etc and write up your findings. Please elebaorate on how and why your findings change the overall conclusion. Good luck with your enterprise. Drop me a note when your done. I'm very curious. |

I think I'm going to be sick. Firefighter Miller just lost 300 of his brothers and you are criticizing his BODY LANGUAGE? Do you have ANY IDEA what it must have been like to be a firefighter that day, risking your life, working day and night wondering whose body is going to turn up under the next twisted beam? I don't, it's out of the realm of my experience.
The consistency of the firefighters' reports about the deformation of Building 7 is impossible to deny without taking the position that large numbers of firefighters would lie to cover up the murder of hundreds of their own brothers. INCONCEIVABLE! SICKENING! I've been patient but Bill my patience has snapped. And BTW no one I know of is denying the firefighters' reports of explosive sounds. But who among all those FDNY firefighters who reported explosive sounds in 2001 is still believing they were bombs and saying so? Out of 5000 FDNY employees? None that I know of, maybe a tiny handful of people who have left the force. Discussion over. My experiment in direct observation has failed with you. |

"I never can quite work out why Silverstein said he and the firefighters agreed to 'pull' Wtc7 and yet no firefighters entered the building."
I'm going by memory here mrmikkies, but didn't Barry Jennings testify that firefighters were in the main lobby when he finally got down? Didn't I see videos of firefighters running up stairs in Building 7? Even if I'm wrong, I'm confident that firefighters were wanting to get into the debris pile left by the Twin Towers and that parts of the debris pile were within the collapse zone of Building 7. Wherever they were, firefighters had to be pulled away from a large collapse zone of Building 7. |

I'm British and owe no allegiance to the US Gov. whatsoever. Goring lived in a dictatorship with no free press and high penalties for speaking up. He also was a nut with a very low opinion of "the people". Comparing Nazi Germany to the US today is ludicrous as both Watergate and the Monica Lewinsky scandals show quite clearly. You may be (in fact being a twoofer shows that you are) very easily fooled by propaganda but not all of us are as gullible and ill-educated. |

Wait, what?
![]() Can you please give some detailed explanations as to why it is impossible? Also, keep in mind that Chandler was basing the "free fall" on a single point on the north wall, to claim it was the building is somewhat disingenuous.

I apologize deeply. I was speaking from a UK perspective and personal experience with my brother in law (graduate of Glasgow Universtity http://www.gsa.ac.uk/gsa.cfm?pid=11 where it can be see that Engineering and Architecture is a separate course.), he designs a lovely house but is not and would not pretend to be an engineer. Beams etc are chosen from tables, not calculated from first principles as would be required for unique buildings like the WTC towers. I have no doubt that many architects also study engineering in depth but those do not include Gage or our building contractor twoofer. Gages cardboard box stunt leaves no doubt about that. |

Here's a few more reports along the same lines. Still no lean to be seen on tape though. No catastrophic fires either.
"The building was fully involved in fire." – Photographer Steve Spak "I had a clear view down Washington Street of Building Seven, which was on the north edge of the site. All forty-seven stories were on fire. It was wild" - Ground Zero Superintendant Charlie Vitchers "We walked over by number Seven World Trade Center as it was burning and saw this 40-plus story building with fire on nearly all floors" –FDNY Lieutenant Robert LaRocca "Just when you thought it was over, you're walking by this building and you're hearing this building creak and fully involved in flames. It's like, is it coming down next? Sure enough, about a half an hour later it came down" –FDNY Lieutenant James McGlynn "I walked out and I got to Vesey and West, where I reported to Frank [Cruthers]. He said, we’re moving the command post over this way, that building’s coming down. At this point, the fire was going virtually on every floor, heavy fire and smoke" - FDNY Deputy Chief Nick Visconti "When the building came down it was completely involved in fire, all forty-seven stories" –FDNY Assistant Chief Harry Myers "Then we had to move because the Duane Reade, they said, wasn't safe because building 7 was really roaring and fully involved " –FDNY Chief Medical Officer Kerry Kelly "The flames were coming out of every window of 7 It was fully engulfed, that whole building. There were pieces of tower two in building Seven and the corners of the building missing and what-not. But just looking up at it from ground level however many stories -- it was 40 some odd -- you could see the flames going straight through from one side of the building to the other, that’s an entire block".–Firefighter Tiernach Cassidy "7 was fully involved at this time. This was a fully involved building. I said, all right, they're not coming for us for a while. Now you're trapped in this rubble, and you're trying to get a grasp of an idea of what's going on there. I heard on the handy talky that we are now fighting a 40-story building fully involved" - Firefighter Eugene Kelty Jr. "The whole south side of Seven World Trade had been hit by the collapse of the second Tower, and there was fire on every floor." – Fire Captain Brenda Berkman "When I got out and onto a clear pile, I see that 7 World Trade Center and the customs house have serious fire. Almost every window of 7 has fire. It is an amazing site" –Captain Jay Jonas, Ladder 6. "The other building,#7, was fully involved, and he was worried about the next collapse." FDNY Firefighter TJ Mundy "7 World Trade was burning from the ground to the ceiling fully involved. It was unbelievable."–FDNY Firefighter Steve Modica "So I attempted to get in through the Barkley Street ramp which is on Barkley (sic) and West Broadway, but I was being held back by the fire department, because 7 World Trade, which is above the ramp, was now fully engulfed" -–PAPD K-9 Sergeant David Lim For a lean I would like to see pictures of the clarity of this one which appears to show no lean pre cpllapse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD06SAf0p9A collapse WTC71 |

First, correct me if I wrong, but it was 75 videos of 911 total not 75 of the pentagon. secondly they released the only one that showed the plane, The other cameras showed people dying or nothing. If you do not know why they would not release the first I pity you and if they showed nothing but the interior of a highly secret building I can also only but pity you if you do not understand why it was not released. Security cameras in 2001 would not be high def nor would they store more than a frame or two every second.
We have the gate post, the gas station and the Hotel videos, all support a plane.......plus of course we have these witnesses........http://911research.wtc7.net/pentagon...sses/bart.html the forensics and a crash scene that looks exactly as it should...........heck even all CIT witnesses say it was a plane and that it hit the building! |

I'm British too and I'm not fooled by propaganda either. That's why I protested on the streets over the invasion of Iraq. I don't support the so called 'war on terror' because there is no terror. Afghanistan is really about geopolitics and a gas pipeline called TAPI and I don't support the war there either. The whole situation in the Middle East is about protecting political interests and energy flows at a time of peak oil, not that I'm dumb enough to think that similar hasn't happened over and over in history but it's the lies about it all that I hate.
Here in the UK the propaganda machine went to work to lump 9/11 and Gaddafi together with all those other terrorists to justify the war in Libya; an act designed to control oil flows there too. As ex-president of Halliburton, Cheney spoke back in 1999 to the Petroleum Institute about the Middle East being the greatest prize when it comes to oil. So what better way than to invent a story about Middle Eastern men living in caves attacking America so the US and its allies can blow the hell out of a million brown people and secure primary energy routes. You need to read more about what's happening to the issue of energy because we are sure hell in for a bumpy ride over the coming years and the western politicians know it. The financial system is breaking because of the high price of energy as predicted by the likes of Colin Campbell, Richard Heinberg and Matthew Simmons. It's only going to get worse and the 'war on terror' will escalate out of control. |

so salary equals willingness to be bribed to cover up mass murder? You do understand that these people go into burning buildings to rescue people.....the suggestion that they all would be silent and remain silent over this is absurd. Hundreds of their Friends and family died on 911!
Whores will do almost anything for money, are you suggesting just because they and presumably you would do it, that hundreds of firefighters would do the same?

The centre of mass was in the core was in the process of moving downwards. In the video I just made, you can clearly see the upper portion of the building bow or flex under compression as the exterior is affected by this mass.
Somewhere in that period the exterior columns buckled. Once they buckled, they offered virtually no resistance (like a vertical toothpick snapping under an excessive load). The exterior of the building then quickly fell roughly 7 or 8 floors until more resistance was encountered.
Quote:
Now that's impossible. Because you cannot 'prove' a negative, you cannot eliminate the possibility that the structure behaved that way naturally.

Please find it if you can. Or, alternatively, find, in the analysis of real, actual controlled demolition, any building which behaves the way WTC 7 did - by that I mean, find an equivalent building being demolished: very tall, 40 floors perhaps steel frame construction progressive collapse of core East to West exterior columns buckle roughly halfway thru the collapse Please find a verified demolition in history which matches the collapse of WTC 7. Or stop making your bare assertions about something you do not wish to understand. RU interested in learning, or just spreading propaganda? You seem to be bent on the latter, and I daresay you're not a structural engineer so your assertions have zero credibility. You haven't provided a single peer-reviewed engineering paper in an engineering journal to support your claims. You've provided zero documentation from the world of actual controlled demolition. In short, you're talking out of your rear end. |

The claim
Quote:
B) is simply a rehash of a) and since NIST probably, like me, saw nothing weird about a short period of 1g acceleration and that it was utterly irrelevant as it was in the final part of the building to fall down when the entire building was doomed already. Things that seem weird to the stupid and uneducated may not to those you are blessed with intelligence and education. Religions have made use of the former for thousands of years. |

That is surely worthy of a Stundie! If you are a fireman who has just seem a bulge and perhaps a lean in a building and think it is going to collapse, AND just seen about 300 of you friends die in building collapse...............would YOU go into that building??????? And what would they see from the inside that would help? You seen to forget that no one really gave a flying vigorous mating what happened to building 7 by that time......other than it was hindering the hunt for survivors of the WTC1 and 2 towers (of which there were several still trapped) |

ETA Flight 93 didn't land in Shanksville, it crashed there. Big difference
And that would make you a no planer. Methinks the gentlemen doth protest too much. ![]() kinnies, if your critical thinking skills are deficient to the point where you have to see something on video to believe it, there is no hope for you. Sorry if that makes you angry, but you ain't got what it takes to think rationally about 9/11, apparently. btw, I noticed you ranted in some of your other posts, so it's pretty hypocritical to complain about me doing that. Just sayin'. Anyways, it's goodbye from me, kinnies. You're not going to learn, that's obvious. There's no debate with an irrational mind. That's a job for a psychotherapist. |

Not sure what you're on about here. I ask an obvious question and you reply with waffle.
That said, in response to your waffle, these guys did want to go into WTC7 but were kept out it would seem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-js8...layer_embedded |

Well I'm a Scot so shouldn't really comment on the English educational system but no, it has not sunk that low, The UK has sadly about the same proportion of morons that the US has (just the UK is smart enough not to let them have guns
) As Mr Gump said, "Stupid is, as stupid does"............and twoofers seem to delight in showing that to be the case. |

Ahem.
The East Penthouse collapsed while the west side of the penthouse stood. That means it wasn't symmetrical. There is really no wriggle room here. Except for the part where the E. Penthouse had already fallen before the bulk of the collapse. Once again, Truther's say symmetry is evidence of CD. When shown the collapse is asymmetrical, the say that's also evidence of a collapse, or it's "more symmetrical" than a natural collapse would be. It didn't. Fire and some debris damage.

Exactly, you dont know. Controlled demolition can explain this. Its very easy.
Its the most plausible thing you would expect. Because NIST and you and the others can not explain this. What would it be easy, if u just check the steel for explosives/incendiaries to exclude. But no NIST didnt. |

Sigh!
The irrational behaviour appears to be all yours and alienentity's. No-planers, as I understood them, were those truthers who suggested the planes which hit the Twin Towers were CGI. I have always disagreed with this since I see no reason to doubt the authenticity of the video footage. Since there is no video footage of either flight 77 or flight 93 then the subject of their demise cannot be discussed with actual video evidence of their flight paths and crashes. That's all I'm saying. Twist the meaning if you like; if that's the only way you feel you can win. |

MrKinnies, you have a question to answer. Is there a difference between the last stage of a process and the entire process? Again, yes or no. Yes they can, you just don't like the explanation.
