4. If demolition chargers were used, why did the thousands of recovery workers never stumble across a single shred of detonation cord, blast caps, or blast residue? Why did no camera on the scene for the recovery capture pictures of any of these things which would be present in the millions for a demolition like this?

There is a bit further one can take that logical assessment...

Why were the folks on site not tasked with looking for the remnants of explosive causation?

Why did folks (mainly fire-folks) die in WTC 1 if it was obvious that WTC 2 endured controlled demolition?

Why did the recording of the building engineer, who died in the tower - The one who indicated on tape the towers were built to stand a hit by a 707, indicate his fear of structural weakening and request other engineers to come up and confirm based on his expertise relative to the various sections that concerned him and no mention of explosive devices?

Why are videos of smoke at the base of the towers not properly attributed to the videos of burning vehicles? Those videos are taken from a closer and in line vista than the ones from Jersey.

Why oh why would anyone logically assume the FDNY, PAPD, NYPD and others would send their rescue folks into an obvious explosive laden building and not send in the bomb disposal unit that was also on site but idle?

Why do some folks reject or ignore the pictures in which deformation inward of over 50" is seen and seen at the site of the exterior column collapse initiation? (taken from the Police helicopter) They reject the floor truss sag argument which had to be the cause of that 'bowing in'.

Why do some folks view the Compressed glob of stuff called a Meteorite not also see it has the potential of being evidence of the Crush Down and Compression theory of Bazant?

Why do folks claim that the melting and dripping substance(s) emanating from the 80th floor of WTC 2 has enough heat to melt steel via Thermate/Thermite but not enough heat to melt the adjacent members?

Why do some reject the possibility that sprayed on fire proofing substances would be blown off as a result of the explosive nature of a plane laden with fuel entering a building.... AND, why do they also not consider that upon entry of the aircraft into the buildings there is a change from Kinetic energy to Heat energy and quite a bit of it... otherwise there'd be more structural damage to the interior. To say there is no mechanism to blast the fire proofing off the steel makes no sense. We can see there is...

And, folks who claim No other Steel Structure fell from fire events do not also look at the difference between the Towers and how the usual steel structure is constructed... The major weakness IS the floor truss assy. They claim office type fire does not melt steel... no kidding but it does weaken it... and a span of 60' can sag and did as depicted in the photos unless they claim some other mechanism caused the bow in we see. And if they do have another mechanism why reject the notion that (as we see) the buiding collapse initiation started there without evidence of explosive device ignition...

Just because it's a "conspiracy" doesn't necessarily mean it's not true.

Obviously! NIST has put forth a theory based on the conspiracy of 19 hijackers and Al Qaeda etc... while the Truth Movement has a theory or theories based on some variation of the hijackers and others. IT WAS a Conspiracy!! Who the Co-Conspirators are is the question, it seems.

Regarding Seismographic evidence...

It used to be that seismographs measured the various 'waves' issued by a variety of events... From an explosive event the Compression and Shear Waves and the others must get to the seismic recording site via some mechanism. Placing and detonating a 'bomb' in a building may or may not produce a result.... It all depends on getting the waves to the bedrock and how much of their energy is absorbed by other factors, me thinks.

nice troll.

Hehehehehehe, I think DS is suggesting that 'Truth Movement' folks should or could test her assertion in the same manner they test the evidence in the 9/11 events. Or that they equally amount to the same type of argument... I like the Pink Unicorn being invisible... heheheheheeh Faith and Fact produce wild understandings when coupled...

Well, no. That's true for the seismographs located outside of the city, but the ones that were in the city on Sept 11th were not the earthquake-detecting type. They were operated by a construction auditing company, who made their recordings available to the NIST, FEMA, etc when the attacks happened. Their devices are more sensitive and designed to pick up much smaller tremors than simply earthquakes.

Obviously, it is entirely possible that there was some huge explosion, but the presence of devices that in all likelihood would have detected, and recorded, the explosion, combined with the lack of compelling physical and visual evidence, makes the idea of a controlled demolition highly, highly unlikely.

Anyway, we're going to rehash all this crap anyway, so I'll save it for another post so I don't have to repeat myself, but suffice to say that we have to see anyone produce a smoking gun for explosives. We have no no physical evidence that they were actually there. Instead what we've been given are a litany of excuses, some half-assed theories that make no sense, and videos of thousands of people claiming they heard explosions. What nobody seems to understand is that hearing explosions and seeing explosives are two dramatically different things and, in a building that is under catastrophic failure, should we really be surprised that people saw things "explode" (UPSes, backup generators, jet fuel, etc)? Should we also be surprised that people heard explosions (concrete falling, the aforementioned things, steel collapsing, etc?) The only "hard" evidence that has been presented in this thread is ambiguous -- sure, it could be that these people heard explosions derived from explosives, but it's far more probable that the noises they heard were part of the failure of the building.

Fantastic, like we've talked about before there were seismographs within Manhattan and the burrows, not 16 km away.

This isn't 1993 and this wasn't the truck bombing in the WTC.

your initial 1993 seismograph argument failed. your 2001 argument has also failed, as you've refused to produce any seismographs recording all the pre collapse explosions corroborated by hundreds of witnesses on the ground. you have also refused to provide any seismographs for then the "jet fuel" explosions you mentioned :D again, with your pathetic logic, no explosions existed at all. continue failing, kid.


So seismographs were unable to detect jet fuel that had (a) poured down the elevator shafts and subsequently caught on fire or (b) fell down the elevator shafts already on fire and somehow that has relevance to the demolitions charges there were never detected? Since when does a bunch of fuel ablaze equate a controlled demolition?

of course it has relevance. you are the one continuing with the seismograph argument, even after getting destroyed and proven dead wrong repeatedly. continue failing, kid.

Great, so thousands of people (according to you) saw these explosions, yet nobody can find any trace of their existence, there is no record of them happening on any piece of scientific equipment... isn't entirely more likely that, like we discussed before, this is unreliable eye witness testimony.

These people heard "explosions" but we have no proof that those explosions came from actual explosives.

given the fact there are hundreds of corroborating witnesses, the us government is lying when they claim there is no audio / video evidence supporting a demolition theory. as we've seen in the audio in this thread alone, that claim is a blatant lie. continue failing, kid.

hundreds saw and heard these pre collapse explosions, yet there was never an official acknowledgement or search for anything out of the ordinary. can't find what you're not acknowledging and not looking for, eh? it's a given fact you refuse to acknowledge this simple concept. i love this quote:

Stephen Gregory -- Assistant Commissioner (F.D.N.Y.)
We both for whatever reason -- again, I don't know how valid this is with everything that was going on at that particular point in time, but for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down, that I saw low-level flashes. In my conversation with Lieutenant Evangelista, never mentioning this to him, he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level flashes in front of the building, and I agreed with him because I thought -- at that time I didn't know what it was. I mean, it could have been as a result of the building collapsing, things exploding, but I saw a flash flash flash and then it looked like the building came down.
...
[It was at] the lower level of the building. You know like when they demolish a building, how when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That's what I thought I saw.
...
He said did you see anything by the building? And I said what do you mean by see anything? He said did you see flashes? I said, yes, well, I thought it was just me. He said no, I saw them too.
...
I know about the explosion on the upper floors. This was like at eye level. I didn't have to go like this. Because I was looking this way. I'm not going to say it was on the first floor or the second floor, but somewhere in that area I saw to me what appeared to be flashes.

Interview, 10/03/01, New York Times

Thanks FDNY! :D

it is a given fact hundreds of testimonies, such as Gregory's, were never acknowledged. continue failing, jingle.


Typical. Take a quote completely out of context and hammer it home like it actually means something. Your inability to contextualize quotes has hamstrung you from the beginning.

nothing was taken out of context. you repeatedly lied and made the absurd claim there were no pre collapse explosions due to seismographs. of course i'm going to hammer home your idiocy. continue failing, kid.





Eye. Witness. Testimony. With. Nothing. To. Back. It. Up. In. The. Middle. Of. A. Giant. Building. Falling. To. The. Ground.

corroborating. eye. witness. testimony. proving. you. wrong. and. proving. the. us. government. is lying. when. they. state. there. were. no. audio. video. or. eyewitness. evidence. supporting. a. demolition. theory.


Deny the basic fact? Me? You're the one who claims that what sounds like a microphone getting brushed against something or is an artifact of audio splicing is "proof" that there were explosions.


edit: I'd just like to add one tidbit which you also cannot explain. IF your video is showing us "explosions" why would the news crew cut away and, if they cut away, wouldn't they go RIGHT BACK? I mean, if I were a reporter standing there and I heard explosions like that, I'd want to get back on the air and say something like "HOLY CRAPOLA, THERE ARE EXPLOSIONS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW." Instead, they carry on like nothing happened. Was the Channel 7 local news team also part of the conspiracy now?

edit:
proof of explosions? something created the deep thunders. it sure as hell wasn't voices unless the speakers emitted sonic boom waves :D as for proof of explosives? i made no such claim. it is proof that evidence exists in support of a demolition theory, and it is proof the us government is lying when they claim there is no audio, visual, or eyewitness evidence.

given the fact that the people speaking in this link on page 1 were far away from the microphone, what created the deep thunders before the penthouse collapse initiated? the same question was posed to elfenix. incoming dodge! can't use your "brushed up against the microphone" bullshit LOL!

given the fact that this audio/video previously held by NIST is now missing the penthouse collapse , was this the work of god? God's invisible hand removing the penthouse, and his sonic boom voice driving wtc7 to the ground? :D:D:D:D

nice troll.

Of course you believe it's trolling. That's exactly how we planned it. We wouldn't be members of the Super Ultra People Power Club if we couldn't get you to deny the truth.

Again, you conspiracy theorists are the easiest people to dupe. All we need do is feed you a government report with a logical framework, throw in a few unreliable reports of other goings on, and you jump to form magical shadow governments. This leaves those of us in the real shadow government free to work.

You cannot catch us, for you will never know: Is this the real trail to the Super Ultra People Power Club, or just another conspiracy formulated to throw you off the trail?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

The name-calling doesn't change the fact that your statements, per usual, make no sense.

1. Protec was operating portable field seismographs at constructions site in Manhattan and Brooklyn on 9/11, and these seismographs were recording round vibration throughout the time frame of the events at Ground Zero.

Read bold text. Inconveniently for you, Protec, who owned the seismographs, happens to be one of the largest and more respected companies in structural inspections, construction consulting, and vibration monitoring and prediction.

Yikes.

of course it has relevance. you are the one continuing with the seismograph argument, even after getting destroyed and proven dead wrong repeatedly. continue failing, kid.

It is sad that you really don't see how thousands of pounds of explosives are different than jet fuel igniting.

It is sort of damaging to your own credibility when you cite sources that say
but somewhere in that area I saw to me what appeared to be flashes.

Appear? So they could have been flashes and they could have been something else. Great. That's real conclusive.

Even if they were there, does this guy say anything about explosions? Nope.

Yet another red herring you've tossed out there with nothing behind it.

it is a given fact hundreds of testimonies, such as Gregory's, were never acknowledged. continue failing, jingle.

I actually have answered all your questions, something you refuse to do. Get off your high-horse.


nothing was taken out of context. you repeatedly lied and made the absurd claim there were no pre collapse explosions due to seismographs. of course i'm going to hammer home your idiocy. continue failing, kid.

Reading comprehension would really help your argument, but instead you're going to completely miss my point and pull words out of context and harp on them. I've been consistent in my stance, something you cannot say.

Find. Me. The. Bombs. And. Someone. Who. Saw. Them.

For the fiftieth time: Almost every source you've cited thus far as being "proof" of a controlled demolition presents testimony that doesn't exclusively support your hypothesis.

Instead of digging deep, you scratch at the surface hoping that if you throw enough quotes at it, you'll be right. Unfortunately for you, you aren't and you continue to demonstrate a completely inability to comprehend what's read or to understand why your arguments make absolutely no sense.

edit:

Now it's a sonic boom?

Your evidence has so far been cherrypicked eye witness testimony that isn't conclusive to your story, heavily edited youtube videos, and... well... nothing. On the other hand, you've ignored reports from professionals and the evidence in front of your own eyes in the collapse of the buildings themselves.

given the fact that the people speaking in this link on page 1 were far away from the microphone, what created the deep thunders before the penthouse collapse initiated? the same question was posed to elfenix. incoming dodge! can't use your "brushed up against the microphone" bullshit LOL!

My mention of the microphone bit actually wasn't from a video you posted, I got your post and someone else's confused... of course you couldn't even bother to read it so you didn't even realize I was talking about a news clip.

As for your evidence of deep thunders, sorry nobody else hears them. At all. If anything, the building collapses quietly and the men speaking in the foreground support that because, if there were really deep loud noises, they would have reacted in some measurable way, not just stood there.

edit: I listened a few more times and, sure enough, there is a noise at 11 seconds. It's pretty faint and it sure sounds like wind blowing against the microphone. If it isn't then I've gotta ask, are these explosions "sonic booms" (as you've described them) or whispers that are almost inaudible unless you're listening for them?

How do you square this video being "evidence" of your explosions when you've described them (and cited other evidence) of them being violent and enough that eye witnesses (like the guys in the camera) reported them (which these guys clearly didnt)?

If anything, the video you posted is a nice summary of your argument.

Anyway, that is a clip of WTC7 which I wasn't talking about, but in this carousel of red herrings, I assume that's where you want to head next.

Sorry dude, I have a life to live outside of arguing with you on the internet. Life got busy, I stopped caring about your triviliaties and left it to a host of other guys who continued to where I had left off. Of course you're going to continue to twist and turn every little fact so that it fits into your narrow-minded predetermined view of what happened and how my actions "prove" that I was contradicted or owned or something.

I wasn't. I left you with a whole host of questions that you continue to dodge because you have no answers. You've got nothing. You fired your clip and missed and now you're just shooting blanks, posting the same incessant drivel over and over again.

Again, I've answered all your charges... which is why this conversation continues. You refuse to do the same for some pretty basic questions.

What is your explanation for seismographs located within Manhattan and Brooklyn being unable to detect the shaking that is visible on this camera?

Do you recognize the fact that your eye witness testimony does not exclusively support your own theory of what happened? Do you even begin to comprehend that it also fits the version of events that I have been putting forward?

Please address the fact that your eye witness testimony does not exclusively support your theory and acknowledge the fact that eye witness testimony, in any legal or non legal case, is NOT reliable.

Please address why Protec's engineeers, who had multiple seismographs located in Manhattan and Brooklyn detected the plane impacts and the subsquent collapses but failed to detect your mysterious shaking.

Why would the US Government TIP OFF news agencies prior to destroying WTC 7?

Find me an example of a piece of steel from WTC 1, 2, or 7 that was melted. For this game, you need to find steel that is entirely liquid (not just glowing) and has been tested and confirmed to be steel.

Either explain to me the NIST's collapse model or present your own

Why did the planes strike the towers? Why did the plane strike the pentagon? Why did the other plane crash? Did Osama cooperate with the US Government? -- What is YOUR story?

Read. My. Post. especially the parts concerning thermite and melted steel.

Please, please provide some evidence that links these reports to actual explosives, rather than simply self-referentially referring to them over and over again.

Who is part of your conspiracy and who isn't?

To this list, I'll happily add:

Find me video evidence of the actual explosions at ground zero.

Explain how any original video of the collapse shows that it is triggered from the top, not the bottom, and that there are no charges going off prior to the collapse.

Explain how Protec, who had the seismographs on the ground, also examined Ground Zero and have first-hand accounts (and professional opinions) that the towers were not brought down by explosives.

haha. you are crying about insults, after you were the first to initiate insults against other posters? if you want me to stop insulting you like the mental midget you are, get down on your knees, and publicly beg all the other posters you've insulted for forgiveness. get to it, kid.

good stuff.:D

As for the continued belittlement, it's getting old. It doesn't help your argument any and, maybe, if you spent half as much time trying to read what is actually written to you as you obviously do thinking up clever little plays on the name of everyone who defies you, you might have learned a thing or two.

I'm not interesting in being insulted or insulting you, why is it beyond your capacity to extend the same courtesy to me and the others who post here? Or do you really have that much of an inferiority complex?

i can't possibly go back and read all of this name-calling

so someone help me out here

why do some people think there were explosives used to take down WTC 1 and/or 2?

Answer me this - let's assume, for one second, that explosives were somehow put in place to bring one/both of them down - why bother with the whole airplane thing - why not just blow up/bring down the towers, and say it was another 1993 type of attack, only this time they were successful?

wouldn't that have been much easier?

smoke seen on the low/floor level of either building was due to burning jet fuel that came down one or more elevator shafts

Yikes.

yikes what? none of your seismographs sources picked up any of admitted large jet fuel explosions, or any of the large secondary explosions that firefighters and other witnesses stated felt like large bombs going off. again, so much for your pathetic siesmograph bullshit that has been repeatedly debunked.


Except that for nearly every one you've presented, their testimony supports both hypothesis and the rest of the world's conclusions about what happened.

heh that's a blatant lie. none of the large secondary explosions have ever been acknowledged, including those relating to wtc7.

Appear? So they could have been flashes and they could have been something else. Great. That's real conclusive.

of course, and they fully support the possibility of detonations occuring. hell, gregory even gave you the location of said flashes: "but for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down, that I saw low-level flashes"

"yikes", no mention of that in the official story :D:sneaky::D. no government agency will dare touch it. they'd have to explain it away, and they can't :):D

Even if they were there, does this guy say anything about explosions? Nope.

Yet another red herring you've tossed out there with nothing behind it.


yawn.

Karin Deshore -- Captain (E.M.S.)
Somewhere around the middle of the World Trade Center, there was this orange and red flash coming out. Initially it was just one flash. Then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building had started to explode. The popping sound, and with each popping sound it was initially an orange and then a red flash came out of the building and then it would just go all around the building on both sides as far as I could see. These popping sounds and the explosions were getting bigger, going both up and down and then all around the building

Interview, 11/07/01, New York Times

I actually have answered all your questions, something you refuse to do. Get off your high-horse.

actually, you've been denying the very existence of any secondary pre collapse explosions, and is the reason you continue bringing up bullshit / debunked seismograph arguments.




As for your evidence of deep thunders, sorry nobody else hears them. At all. If anything, the building collapses quietly and the men speaking in the foreground support that because, if there were really deep loud noises, they would have reacted in some measurable way, not just stood there.

heh, another blatant lie by littlejingle. even elfenix hears the deep thunders, except he claimed they were caused by television stations switching tracks or some other ridiculous excuse.


I don't know anything about any supposed doctoring, all I see is an obviously doctored video on a truther youtube account. Unless you're going to provide any proof for those claims, this isn't even worth discussing.

again, this is footage obtained from foia requests against NIST.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH_Lv_sevwY

obviously, the footage and audio of the penthouse collapse are missing. there is no defense, it has been edited and is missing.




Sorry dude, I have a life to live outside of arguing with you on the internet. Life got busy, I stopped caring about your triviliaties and left it to a host of other guys who continued to where I had left off. Of course you're going to continue to twist and turn every little fact so that it fits into your narrow-minded predetermined view of what happened and how my actions "prove" that I was contradicted or owned or something.

given the fact that you continue denying the basic fact that hundreds of witnesses corroborate each other with large pre collapse/ secondary explosions, i would suggest you stop mouthing off like an idiot.

As for the continued belittlement, it's getting old. It doesn't help your argument any and, maybe, if you spent half as much time trying to read what is actually written to you as you obviously do thinking up clever little plays on the name of everyone who defies you, you might have learned a thing or two.

I'm not interesting in being insulted or insulting you, why is it beyond your capacity to extend the same courtesy to me and the others who post here? Or do you really have that much of an inferiority complex?

as i stated previously,:

"haha. you are crying about insults, after you were the first to initiate insults against other posters? if you want me to stop insulting you like the mental midget you are, get down on your knees, and publicly beg all the other posters you've insulted for forgiveness. get to it, kid"

start apologizing, kid.


I've deleted everything else you wrote. they were already addressed numerous times in another thread. not repeating myself, as you're a lying coward who continues to play dumb and refuses to acknowledge the most basic facts.

Hey delusion-al. When are you going to answer the questions about the logistics? Despite your claims to the contrary, you continue to evade and avoid answering them. You link a youtube video that shows someone going through all kinds of modifications in order to get thermite/thermate to cut steel, yet you still haven't explained how the super-ninjas snuck the equipment and materials to make those mods into the towers and then proceeded to plant the thermite/thermate without a soul noticing.

btw, you argue thermite/thermate and then talk about explosions. Maybe you already know this but thermite/thermate doesn't explode.

So care to answer some questions instead of dodging them like the pussy you are? :biggrin:

Well, no. That's true for the seismographs located outside of the city, but the ones that were in the city on Sept 11th were not the earthquake-detecting type. They were operated by a construction auditing company, who made their recordings available to the NIST, FEMA, etc when the attacks happened. Their devices are more sensitive and designed to pick up much smaller tremors than simply earthquakes.

I know about the seismographic devices in Manhattan and Brooklyn that an entity had set up for liability purposes and that they did not record spikes consistent with explosive demolition... Nor did Columbia and the other place according to a fair reading of their offer.
My point was that in order to get any reading the waves... Compression and Shear and others have to find their way to the recording device... A simple notion that is obvious and suggestive of one aspect being eliminated from the equation based on either the size of the explosions were too weak to harm the structure assuming there could be some explosive events from other than Controlled Demolition or and mainly that floors compressing or falling into each other release sound waves and other energy that don't usually travel to bedrock of the structure and beyond..

That leaves the thermite heat cutting soundless for all practical purposes method of melting or weakening the core structure that wouldn't be found recorded on a seismograph... the exterior appears not to need much help to come to earth.

To the best of my knowledge no one has stated that they saw thermite melting going on in the core of the towers... IF it happened it did so with out witnesses...



MOST IMPORTANTLY... and folks have yet to grasp the notion that falling floors have kinetic energy which becomes, in part, heat energy when they meet another body down-steam and that produces a flash from that heat creation which might be what some call evidence of explosive charges being ignited. At least that is what I understand about the physics of meeting bodies... The energy is not lost it simply becomes another type of energy... like an atomic bomb...

yikes what? none of your seismographs sources picked up any of admitted large jet fuel explosions, or any of the large secondary explosions that firefighters and other witnesses stated felt like large bombs going off. again, so much for your pathetic siesmograph bullshit that has been repeatedly debunked.

Whew, that's an awful lot of rage.

For starters, nobody ever claimed that seismographs would pick up jet fuel. It's yet another red herring you've stuck in there.

In the meantime you've completely ignored the fact that there is no scientific evidence for what you're claiming. Not only do you lack physical evidence, the evidence you've continued to put forth supports the official story just as much as it supports yours.


heh that's a blatant lie. none of the large secondary explosions have ever been acknowledged, including those relating to wtc7.

Sorry, did you provide any evidence besides highly subjective eye-witness accounts?

Nope.

"Hey guys, I just saw a guy pull.... get this.... a rabbit OUT OF HIS HAT! Magic exists!"


[qote]of course, and they fully support the possibility of detonations occuring. hell, gregory even gave you the location of said flashes: "but for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down, that I saw low-level flashes"[/quote]

Hey, he's the one who used the word "appeared." Evidently, he's not quite sure what he saw either.

But, yeah, another guy who says he saw something... considering all these people "SAW" explosions, you'd think you could dig up something, but you can't. Fail again.


yawn.

Karin Deshore -- Captain (E.M.S.)
Somewhere around the middle of the World Trade Center, there was this orange and red flash coming out. Initially it was just one flash. Then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building had started to explode. The popping sound, and with each popping sound it was initially an orange and then a red flash came out of the building and then it would just go all around the building on both sides as far as I could see. These popping sounds and the explosions were getting bigger, going both up and down and then all around the building

Interview, 11/07/01, New York Times

Yet another eye witness account. You'd think with all these eye witnesses, someone would be able to produce a photo, a video, or, my god, a shred of physical evidence. Instead, you're continuing to supply information that contains no factual information just more people who had no idea what they were seeing.

heh, another blatant lie by littlejingle. even elfenix hears the deep thunders, except he claimed they were caused by television stations switching tracks or some other ridiculous excuse.

So, you're telling me that these explosions were in the background and these guys minded their own business and didn't bother to comment on them?

On top of that, have you ever actually seen a demo? It isn't one second of explosives. Not at all.

But why let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy!


again, this is footage obtained from foia requests against NIST.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH_Lv_sevwY

obviously, the footage and audio of the penthouse collapse are missing. there is no defense, it has been edited and is missing.

Like I said, provide a link to show anyone here that the video was obtained from the NIST. Something that isn't to Youtube University. Until then, we can both agree that video is missing from your youtube movie.

Funny how we have tons of other videos of WTC7 collapsing with no missing footage, yet you cling to the deluded belief that something has been edited out from this one.

So now they demoed WTC7 from the top down? Are you serious?


given the fact that you continue denying the basic fact that hundreds of witnesses corroborate each other with large pre collapse/ secondary explosions, i would suggest you stop mouthing off like an idiot.

Yeah, because there's no way that the things these people witnessed were caused by a building collapsing on itself. No way whatsoever. It must have been the invisible explosives.


"haha. you are crying about insults, after you were the first to initiate insults against other posters? if you want me to stop insulting you like the mental midget you are, get down on your knees, and publicly beg all the other posters you've insulted for forgiveness. get to it, kid"

start apologizing, kid.

Just stop being a dick. Your argument sucks just about as much as your insults do.


I've deleted everything else you wrote. they were already addressed numerous times in another thread. not repeating myself, as you're a lying coward who continues to play dumb and refuses to acknowledge the most basic facts.

Of course you did because you have no answers. None. So instead of trying to answer them, you've given up.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Actually, now that I think about it, the planes upon hitting the towers had to produce a flash that some say is evidence of a missile hitting... that Kinetic to Heat energy thingi.... Had there NOT been a flash it could be evidence that no planes hit the towers and it was all an illusion... heheheh

A simple notion that is obvious and suggestive of one aspect being eliminated from the equation based on either the size of the explosions were too weak to harm the structure assuming there could be some explosive events from other than Controlled Demolition or and mainly that floors compressing or falling into each other release sound waves and other energy that don't usually travel to bedrock of the structure and beyond..

Yes, the several devices operating in New York and just north of the city detected the same thing -- a slow rising force as the buildings collapsed. None detected anything similar to what we'd see in a controlled demolition: a preceding spike.

If we could put past arguments about the machines themselves, our eyes also confirm what we already know -- that there was no controlled demolition. The WTC was built in the same fashion as the Eiffel Tower, with its primary supports in the exterior walls, like a cage. Therefore, it is impossible that there would have been a series of explosions strong enough to weaken the frame of the building without being visually apparent.

If you watch any video, it is undeniable that the collapse starts at the top of each tower. No surprised that it appears to start exactly where the planes hit. There is no video evidence which shows explosions on the street level or below, despite there being videos from citizens, videos from the FDNY, and videos from news outlets. None show anything going on below where the planes hit. Compare any of the 9/11 collapse videos to a controlled demo and you'll immediately see the difference -- controlled demolitions try to maximize the use of gravity to crush the building, hence the majority of the explosives are placed at the base of the building and the charges that go off higher up are mostly to ensure the building collapses into its own footprint.

If you watch a video of the collapse from the base of the tower, you can clearly see that everything below the collapse remains 100% in tact. Because those buildings were nearly 70% air, it isn't surprising that as the building collapses, we see air being forced down the stairways and the elevator shafts and then out the windows. Those expulsions of air cannot be explosions because there is no visual weakening of the building around where they happen, because they are not uniform, and because they occur so far below the actual collapse that it is clear they have nothing to do with it.

Now, because there were no explosions below the stories that the planes hit, we're left with two non-NIST scenarios:

1) Nefarious agents placed the explosives on those floors before the impact.
2) Nefarious agents placed the explosives on those floors after the impact, but before the collapse.

#1 is certainly an impossibility with conventional explosives. First, the explosives and their detonation cords would have had to survive this (Yes, hard to watch, but it's the best video to show the speed and power these planes hit with) impact intact to be able to detonate. The NIST stated the temps on those floors hit nearly 1,100 degrees (truthers claim it must have been hotter due to the "melted" steel) -- a temperature that would, at best, make the explosives unstable if not unusable.

#2 is equally as unlikely. These agents would had to survive 1,000+ degree temperatures, no small feat in itself, while removing all the fireproofing, conduit, insulation, and drywall around each one of the support columns. Each column would have needed prep work before the explosives were attached, too. Despite heavy smoke and partially destroyed floors, they would have accomplished this feat within 50 minutes.





That leaves the thermite heat cutting soundless for all practical purposes method of melting or weakening the core structure that wouldn't be found recorded on a seismograph... the exterior appears not to need much help to come to earth.

To the best of my knowledge no one has stated that they saw thermite melting going on in the core of the towers... IF it happened it did so with out witnesses...

It's important to mention that none of the recovery workers at Ground Zero, most of whom were brought to NYC because of their experience with clearing debris from controlled demolitions, noticed anything abnormal during their removal of the steel and debris. None of the forensic examiners, city workers, federal agents from NIST, FEMA, etc, nor the private demolitions experts noticed anything abnormal with the steel beams. None of them saw any of the tell-tale signs of thermite during the nearly eight-month long process at Fresh Kills.

MOST IMPORTANTLY... and folks have yet to grasp the notion that falling floors have kinetic energy which becomes, in part, heat energy when they meet another body down-steam and that produces a flash from that heat creation which might be what some call evidence of explosive charges being ignited. At least that is what I understand about the physics of meeting bodies... The energy is not lost it simply becomes another type of energy... like an atomic bomb...

I think that most people are completely unaware of the tremendous forces involved. Watch that video of the plane hitting at full speed. Unreal.

Presume for a moment that every person, but in particular the one you quoted, who said explosion this or that is credible and relate reasonably accurately what they observed...

What do you think they might have witnessed?

I think they saw something that not only was visible but it also seems to have provided sound. And progressed in an interesting manner... "... going around the building ..."
The quote you included said half way down (about the middle) or there abouts... this was occurring...
Firstly, it had to be seen from her/his vantage... looking up at an angle... ergo at the exterior... and not all the way around cuz from a pov you can't see what you can't see...
Secondly, the fuel started fires where ever it fell to... lots of fires below the impact zone would be expected...
Thirdly, falling floor sections on the lower floors - they didn't just pancake in uniform order from the impact zone down, imo... - could compress the area and force the air with the fire out the windows and be seen and make sounds.. (it could happen)
And fourthly, since it had to have occurred someplace that did not also appear in any video at any point in time which does not show this to be occurring, I wonder if this person saw some sort of reflection from the other building events?... Or was this person relating the actual collapse as it reached the middle of the used to be structure?... and the compression going on there... while standing there waiting to be consumed by the falling stuff...

I hate these threads. It's a collection of a bunch of people who aren't structural engineers arguing about structural engineering events where we are missing information that even structural engineers have to make their best guess on exactly how and why the collapse proceeded as it did.

It basically comes down to two schools of thought on this:
1.) "This fuzziness of information means the most likely explanation is that hundreds of people conspired to murder 3,000 of their fellow citizens by secretly prepping occupied office buildings for demolition, successfully keeping this huge conspiracy secret for a decade."
2.) "It was probably the giant exploding airplanes and huge fires."

If someone believes #1, you're not going to convince them otherwise. You just aren't. Think about what they already believe, and then think about your chances against it.

kylebisme, have you seen this recently released footage by NIST? the penthouse collapse and audio are completely edited out/missing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH_Lv_sevwY
I figure that's most likely just the camara having been turned off to save battery, and then turned back on when the penthouse came down. This video is more dubious, the sound being cut out until after the building is down.

why do some people think there were explosives used to take down WTC 1 and/or 2?
This presentation goes over much of the evidence.

Answer me this - let's assume, for one second, that explosives were somehow put in place to bring one/both of them down - why bother with the whole airplane thing...
Only the people who did it can truly answer that question, the rest of us can only rightly speculate. Surely you could come up with some possible reasons on your own though? This documentary provides some good hints along the lines of my speculation on the matter.

Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory Show, just aired an episode regarding the Pentagon attack, on TruTv (Court Tv).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vyBYmv3bwY
Very disappointing. While I expected all the flyover nonsense given the nature of the show, I was shocked to see they cropped the security camera video shown at 13:40, cutting out the plane from the one frame that shows it, and then claimed our government hasn't shown any footage of the plane. I was glad they brought up the fact that Hani Hanjur's piloting credentials are sorely lacking the maneuvering of the plane took arguably more skill than humanly possible is a valid point, but their presentation on it was rather lame.

The only notably good thing in the whole program is at the very end, where the 9/11 Commission staff member proclaims ignorance of Rumsfeld's 9/10 announcement of ~2.3 trillion dollars unaccounted for, and her admission that that "it's always about protecting the institution in the end." That should hopefully wake some people to what a sham the official investigation was, at least those who aren't turned off by the ridiculous flyover arguments.

LoL! You made the claim there were no secondary explosions / detonations because phantom seismographs around the city didn't register any secondary shockwaves.

these firefighters prove your argument is full of shit.

his corroborated accounts also prove you are full of shit.

no amount of playing dumb / lying / dodging will change the basic fact large secondary explosions preceeded the collapses of all three towers, and proves the US government is lying when it states they have no eyewitnesses, no video, nor audio of secondary explosions.

deleted every other lie /dodge you typed. as proven time and time again, you will lie and continuing denying the very existence of those secondary explosions in order to support the official lie.

now even the 9/11 families are acknowledging the secondary explosions. yippee ki yay, mother fucker.

already answered your logistics question. numerous times, in fact.
the only way to truly answer the logistics question is a thorough investigation. provide all security footage. all logs of personnel moving in and out of the building in the weeks / months prior.

are you still angry kyle destroyed your ridiculous 5 year argument of "thermite can't melt steel" bullshit with a single link? :D you keep dodging and won't tell us how that crow tastes.

inc 2011. yippee ki yay, mother fucker.
