Maybe if you're looking for an elementary school explanation, you could try this:

Making Heat
How do you make heat? You could burn things (chemical reactions), or you could rub things together (friction).

Yeah because the flash happens before impact, and it wouldn't even begin to explain the flash/flame coming out of the A/C.

It has been explained to you,but you appear to be too obtuse to understand. How far have you got with physics at your school?

I dont think there would be a need (or surreptitious manner) in which to replace the perimeter columns! The fuel in the wings and the engines were the most substantial parts of the planes and at that speed tore right through those hollow perimeter columns/wall assemblies, leaving their rough outline on the buildings facade.

If I were you I would just stick to the facts that prove the use of explosives:
There is NOTHING theoretical about these facts:

-The speed and symmetry in the destruction of wtc 1,2&7
-WTC7's implosion
-The Squibs and the Explosiveness of wtc 1&2 which literally erupted creating massive debris fields, pulverizing most of the 160 tons of concrete and blasting it, the superstructures and perimeter wall assemblies and building contents all over the surrounding streets! The streets were strewn with thousands of body parts. And despite a two years search for human remains (at Freshkills Landfill, SI) there remained no discernible genetic trace of 1100 human beings. They remain: 'unaccounted for.'
-The witness and first responder testimony.
-The 99 day fires. With excessive heat *up to 2800f days after 9/11 (see Bechtel and NASA readings even weeks late).
-The elemental iron microspheres
-the Molten metal: See: fema bpat http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evid...WTC_apndxC.htm
-NIST's refusal to even test for explosives despite the procedural mandate to do so. And what their spokesperson said when asked. 'why not?' 'Its a waste of time to look for something that isn't present" they replied.
-Danish hero Dr Niels Harrit et al's study is undeniable proof of the presence of advance-engineered thermitic explosives in the WTC dust. Like the Anthrax attacks of the same time period, it leads right back to US military labs and contractors.
And the highly revealing clip used in The NORTH TOWER EXPLODING VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSApOavkHg8

There's more.. but this should be enough for most reasonable people to realize that, at the very least, a proper investigation (you know, one that actually considers the evidence and does not begin with it's conclusions) is needed.
I agree with most of what you say but I do not believe, and am not willing to assume that the delicate aircraft slid through the steel wall of the WTC as if you could slip your hand into a mirror. That is impossible.

So that leaves me with the choice of believing in no-planes (for which there is ample evidence it must be said) and looking at the possibility that the columns in the impact area were replaced with something much weaker than steel to facilitate the entrance of the aircraft into the building in the manner we saw.

I know which of these two choices would be easist for the perps to implement. Do you agree ?

I know an easier choice that makes even more sense... You are wrong.

What is it with 911 kooks that they can't ever be mature enough to admit that they could be wrong about anything. Why is it so much easier to believe in lies, even as ridiculous as "no planes", than it is to admit to yourself that you don't understand some things and that you don't know everything. Weird...

That's the very point. Replacing sections of the perimeter columns in the impact areas with fake columns of a weaker material than the original steel is much LESS exotic than the no-planes theory.

That you are wrong about the entire scenario to begin with and that you just don't understand physics enough, is the most plausible and the least exotic theory.

Airport security was involved in this conspiracy too? How many people would that be roughly? What is the total number of people needed to pull off your conspiracy fantasy? Is it the more the merrier or do conspiracies work better when you have fewer people in on it?

This is more plausible than THIS.

It is also equally probably that Elvis has been hiding out in the Hindu Kush for thirty years waiting for a chance to live in an actual Christian nation some day.

There is no way to replace the steel columns with another material unobserved. It is also impossible to break them in the manner observed other than to hit them with a solid object shaped like the hole seen in the side of the buildings.

The only thing in the world shaped like that, and of the appropriate size, is an passenger aircraft about the size of a 757.

Sorry, no cigar.

Did you know that it is possible to blow your brains out with a paper bullet?

ETA: I am NOT suggesting that any bleedin drongo try this, because I know that they will succede, and I will get blamed for it.

It's truly a waste of time trying to rationally speak to truthers..as ten years have gone by, the more their claims are proven wrong, the wilder the claims become. It's a snowball effect. Unconsciously, they realize that what they believed isn't true, so in order to perpetuate their belief, a new theory is developed. Unfortunately for truthers, there is NOTHING that supports their belief...

The flash happens upon first contact with the wall, and it creates enough friction to generate sparks as it does so. Friction between two objects releases heat energy, as you know full well. The "other flash" you refer to is not apparent in any other video shot of the aircraft and frankly you've done nothing but speculate when the answer to your question was a simple look into a physics book.

Bill Smith I see from the quotes is being his usual self; suggesting the columns themselves must have been replaced to make them weaker. The sheer stupidity of that idea is only matched by the thinking that a passenger airliner was firing a missile into the building with nothing to show for evidence except for a frame artifact in a single video out of hundreds

Ok bill whatever you say. Replacing a large number of exterior column assemblies on New York's two tallest buildings... without anyone noticing. Sure, very plausible!

Even killer cream pies sounds more sane than that.

Why is it such a hard concept to accept for troofers, that the horizontal loading caused by the impact of the aircraft far exceeded the failure points of the steel columns that were never design for such loads?

Because they prefer ignorance?

It's funny, the famous Frank De Martini quote concerning the ability of the towers to survive "multiple jet impacts" also contains the information that they would still penetrate the structure. Truthers (mostly no planers/missile loons) trot out the survival quote and ignore the rest.

Progress! Admitting you don't know something! Maybe you might try to listen to those here who do.

This may be one of the silliest things I have ever heard. Please reread and think about what you are saying here.

http://911blogger.com/node/14406
You have contacted the insurance companies who paid out millions in insurance claims to American and United Airlines? I am sure they would be interested to know there is a possibility they paid out when they didn't need to, right? Or could it be they had no doubt, that the planes identified as flights 11,175,77,93 were paid out on the proper insurance claims?

Originally Posted by tmd2_1 View Post

You get the serial, and enter into a database to see which plane it belongs. Or you can look at the serial numbers it should have been through that database, and see if they match the numbers found. It's not like DNA testing which is expensive and timely. Also there's recorded evidence that the flight was still in the air according to flight explorer.

Do you understand what happens when a planes transponder is turned off?

Nice dodge.

Since when did airport security have anything to do with servicing the aircraft? So far, the only ones that “Trutherville” hasn’t implicated in this conspiracy are the parking lot attendants.

You cannot continue to speculate about this missile being used if you can’t show how this missile was attached to the aircraft to begin with.

Like I said, it’s very simple. Just show who, what, where, how, and when.

There was a car lot off to the south of the Burbank airport where the General Lees rested between takes.
Bunch of them there.

Oooh netting that makes everything invisible! I gotta get me some of that, imagine the places I could sneak into! Oooh invisible construction workers too, not sure about that one though. Wolf whistles are annoying enough for us girls without not knowing where they're coming from.

A job like this would require large cranes or lifting helicopters and I am pretty sure someone like David Copperfield could make them disappear into thin air too. I guess we just have to wait for Fox to come out with another episode of Magic's Biggest Secrets Revealed with that creepy guy in the mask and then the whole conspiracy will be blown wide open.

WHAT?!?!

Dude. It was a TUESDAY morning. A work day. You know, with people inside, outside, and everywhere? The vast majority of which were not blind, so they can see 1,000 feet into the air on a clear late summer day.

Each and every thing you truthers make up is exponentially more idiotic and stupid as the one before.

GIVE IT UP

They could have cut the original columns out in smaller sections and sent the pieces down in the freight elevators. The much lighter replacement columns could have then been mounted in sections in the place of the original steel columns. It would have been pretty easy to do.

Bill Smith I see from the quotes is being his usual self; suggesting the columns themselves must have been replaced to make them weaker. The sheer stupidity of that idea is only matched by the thinking that a passenger airliner was firing a missile into the building with nothing to show for evidence except for a frame artifact in a single video out of hundreds
Ok listen here is a video of a plane hitting a wall notice a flash out about 24 seconds. See how it looks like sparks? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZjhx...eature=related
That's how a flash would look like after impact regardless of what's causing it, friction, oxygen tank..etc.


Compare that with this video (same as before) see the almost perfectly circular flash? Impossible to have that after impact.

That flash coming out of the back of the A/C is certainly there. Here is a good quality video made by a member here. You can see it at about the 2-3 second mark.

You seem to have a lot of anger about this. I would suggest re-directing it. I had nothing to do with the events of that day, and it's not my fault things are the way they are. You should take whatever emotions you are feeling and direct it in more positive direction. Perhaps even towards asking questions, and demanding answers.

Like I said, it’s very simple. Just show who, what, where, how, and when.
I'm not dodging anything. Anything I could say is pure speculation. It certainly could be done. It's not that hard to mount a commercial A/C with a projectile missile. You are asking me questions I can't possibly answer. I've often said the planes not being piloted by human hands, is the most difficult part of any conspiracy theory. Such an important part would not have been left to human hands. I don't know how it was done (assuming it was done) I do know if there was a conspiracy, it would have had to have been done.

Really? Who?



Progress! Admitting you don't know something! Maybe you might try to listen to those here who do.



This may be one of the silliest things I have ever heard. Please reread and think about what you are saying here.



You have contacted the insurance companies who paid out millions in insurance claims to American and United Airlines? I am sure they would be interested to know there is a possibility they paid out when they didn't need to, right? Or could it be they had no doubt, that the planes identified as flights 11,175,77,93 were paid out on the proper insurance claims?



Do you understand what happens when a planes transponder is turned off?
Only one answer was even possible, though I have not found any data that suggests anything like we saw is a static discharge. That also doesn't even begin to explain the flash coming out of the back of the A/C.

I'm sure insurance companies can handle there own business. I find it inexcusable that the serial numbers were never verified. Yet "debunkers" have no problem with this.

What a transponder is turned off? Well why didn't the same thing happen to Flight 11? Why does it appear (I can't say with 100% determination) that the plane was flying AWAY from New York? Something that never should have happened that day. This is all the more reason why those serial numbers should have been identified.

Sad. Very sad.

Continual ignorance, hand-waving, JAQing off. Not a shred of honesty or integrity in any post a truther makes.

"We need an expert"

"I am an expert"

"But we need and expert"

etc..etc..etc.....

If it's so easy, then please explain how it is.

Oh that's right - you don't really know anything at all, you just "know" things.

Another dodge noted, or is it a reading comprehension issue?
