You imply that all mainstream news organisations are in on this conspiracy. Can't you understand how ridiculous this concept is?
I don't do anything of the sort, and have no interest in doing so, but you obviously can't see how ridiculous your twisting my words to claim I do is. Tell me, are you strawmaning me intentionally, or just too delusional to know better?

No, you've just offered hand waving to obfuscate your inability to support your claim, and I won't waste my time reading further into any of your posts which doesn't start off with acknowledging this fact.

I saw someone mention a 747... but I know the aircraft to be a 757 that is said to have hit the Pentagon. That remains my understanding.

Ya that was me , But when ElFenix
wanted to see badly proof that a 747 hit building I seen my mistake and later correctly used 757 . He was to sure of himself so I knew a made error . and corrected.

well what's that then?

Looks strange to me. I'll have to search for more details.

...the most ridiculous mental gymnastics...

Anyway, there is no poll of structural engineers or similarly qualified people that points either way. Nobody would ever conduct such a poll and I highly doubt that many people would participate. The best evidence we have that there is an overwhelming concensus is simply the eight year global silence we've heard.
That is some absurd mental gymnastics you've got going on there; assuming the 95% of the structural engineers from around the world even know about WTC7's period of free fall takes some huge stretching of the imagination, let alone believing they all looked into the physics of it and agreed with the official story. Yet such imagination is is what it took for you to construct your completely fallacious argument here. So, you are clearly such a falser that you have absolutely no respect for reality, and until you change your ways by owning up to the absurdity of your consensus claim, I won't respond to another one of your posts.

What fake claim? I offered you far more substantial evidence that the vast majority of engineers throughout the world agree with what happened on 911? You have yet to show me a shred of proof that I'm wrong. I can point to organizations with thousands of members, international credited magazines, publications, and journals, and I can point to two scientific studies of the events of 911 as support for the plane-hit-the-towers theory.

Your entire argument in this thread rests on the belief that something is wrong with the WTC 7 analysis. As just about everyone has admitted here, the WTC 7 collapse is certainly shrouded in the greatest mystery. Without digging into the nitty gritty of what you've said (that's been covered), the question comes back to one simple thing.

Here it is.

If you're right, what does that mean? If I were to concede right now and tell you that I believed everything you've said, you'd still lack an argument.

What you've managed to do here is ignore every single shred of evidence that points one way and focus on the one thing you believe points the other. If there was something shady about the WTC 7 collapse, we have no evidence that there was any wrong-doing, we have no evidence for explosives or thermite or thermate or termites or anything. We have no visual or chemical evidence that explosives were ever planted.

What we do have is a detailed report that covers about 99% of the collapse with such detail and accuracy it can't really be disputed. We have some funky things that happened that are still open to questioning. In fact, many engineers DO question what happened on 911, but they do so within the framework of the planes hitting the towers.

You have a sharp tongue, but unfortunately lack the logical capacity or wit to understand that what I presented to you in the previous post is a mountain of evidence that there is near-universal support for the NIST report. I've showed you that thousands and thousands of engineers are supportive of this story.

Again, I've listed thousands of people that support the NIST, you've listed nobody who doesn't support it.

If you're going to be a child and refuse to engage in any discussion, let's just straighten out what you've failed to answer.

1) You've failed to prove that there is anything wrong with the NIST account of what happened. You keep clinging to the belief you have, but realize that the vast majority of the posters in this thread don't believe you're correct. Even the other people who believe in a 911 conspiracy have not agreed with you. You have not proven anything. I'm not just being a jerk about this point, but you continually claim that your facts are "irrefutable" yet I do not believe a single person has actually agreed with what you've said.

Again, you've basically continued to scream "I'm right!" in the face of pretty damning evidence that you're not.

You haven't convinced ANYONE in this thread.

2) You've failed to address the contextual questions about 911.

You cannot tell me how or why explosives were placed, or even who placed them.

You cannot explain why the government hijacked planes AND planted explosives.

You can't tell me why there isn't a single soul who saw anybody rigging explosives to the building.

You can't tell me why the NIST's report agrees with the planes bringing down the towers and leaves no margin of error on that.

You cannot tell me why there is no circumstantial evidence for explosives.

You cannot tell me why WTC 7 was bombed but not hit by a plane.

You can't even provide a motive for why anybody would do this.

You refuse to commit to the reality that your conspiracy implicates thousands of people, while the true story contains, at most, 50 people.

You cannot tell me if the buildings were brought down with thermite (which truthers claim there is evidence for) or brought down with traditional explosives.

You can't tell me why they used thermite and not a real explosives that, you know, blows up.

Because of the previous two points, you can't tell me why those videos you (I believe it was you) posted about "squibs" would back up your point. Thermite doesn't explode, so those explosions can't be caused by it.

3) Your systematic denial of the reality that guys like Prof Jones are in the small, small minority.

Just to reiterate my point I have cited professional organizations, peer-reviewed journals, and peer-reviewed magazines as proof that nobody in this field agrees with you. The NIST report alone is evidence that thousands of engineers are in agreement. The global silence is further confirmation of these facts. There is not one single peer-reviewed article that takes up your side of the story in a meaningful way. Unless ALL of these people are in on it, you have no support at the top of the field.

Even the evil insurance companies raised no stink about what happened, despite the fact that billions of dollars of their money was at stake.

4) Who was responsible. I covered this briefly earlier, but I'd like to point out that despite your claims to the contrary, any conspiracy you put forth immediately implicates thousands of people, many of whom aren't government employees or anything like that.


So, feel free to ignore me. After all, it's a free country, but just remember what I said earlier:

If your evidence is so irrefutable, why have you failed to convince a single solitary person that you're right?


I am going to assume your a young man and not a boy. I don't know what you did as a kid . But I have a river near by . When I was a tadpole I use to play on the ice . If it was early in year . Ya had to test ice for safty . Think of 9/11 as a test of the American people . Which passed with flying colors . The government seen that we are weak . So now they are setting up for the final blow to freedom . Its that simple.

Any man who kills by order . Can not be trusted . Killing is a lasting thing . The soul dies but the spirit lives on. We have zero rights of taking other human soul(Flesh) life.

If governments want to fight lets allow are leaders to fight . Than elections become easy . Ya pick the baddest ass around and vote him in . They don't run the system anyway . There death would be know loss as their murders. Tho shall not kill. There no exceptions in Gods law none. or under that commandment there would be explanations as to when killing is can be done. Moses led no army GOD did the Killing . It was only after Moses mysteriously disappears that . god commands man to Kill in his name. These are not the same god . The True God did his own killing . The false god commmanded man to do it. Thats not saying Moses didn't kill because he did . Moses has to deal with that. Come Judgement day. But God does not ask man to Kill for him . As it goes against his law . God cannot lie. or he is not God. So God would not command man to break his own laws . Rome made the law god said its alright to fight and kill under christ church. Rome believed in SUN gods. So Christ became gods son under roman rule . They changed sabbath to SUN day. The trueth is infront of ya why can't you see it.

Yeah.. we all know what everyone means...

I'm sort of a stickler for organized chaos... hehehehe Someone earlier said to someone "... Prove it is titanium" Well, one can present expert testimony to that effect as in a test of some sort that was performed and that becomes evidence to support the claim asserted. I always think in terms of proof being what the finder of fact determines. Has the evidence proved the claim asserted to be true. I have to separate the two terms cuz not all evidence will prove what is asserted especially to someone debating on the other side.. In a hung jury the same evidence convinces some but not all that the facts alleged by the party bringing the action are true. iow, the evidence did not prove beyond the threshold the individual used.


In AT we have different burdens of proof going on and that is confusing to me. I like this definition:

"different types of proceedings require parties to meet different burdens of proof, the typical examples being beyond a reasonable doubt, clear and convincing evidence, and preponderance of the evidence. Many jurisdictions have burden-shifting provisions, which require that if one party produces evidence tending to prove a certain point, the burden shifts to the other party to produce superior evidence tending to disprove it."

I have no ego as you understand it my ike works fine . There are things some are given to know . The rest we learn and threw that learning errors are made. What I was given to know and what I have learned are seperate . You can't know sin or failure until you experience it. Knowing it is not the same. There is much about the Christ befor he ministered that is unknown or just not taught. He was given to know certain things . But he still had to live life and he was not perfect in knowledge. He knew sin.

Still haven't seen that secomd hole in building 300 feet from were plane hit /Only 1 hole and that were the engine is . LOL I know what part that was and its to SMALL. Dedunking was a laugh on that one . The ring itself is the wrong design as rolls has explained already.

The planes that hit the WTC hit at roughly 500mph too. You're right, 757s don't cruise at mach 0.80 at low altitudes. There's a limit of 250 KTS below 10k feet. If you go 500mph you will hit the limit of the airframe. pHYSICS SAYS ITS NOT POSSIBLE?

SERIOUSLY, STOP SPEWING THE SAME CRAP THEY SAY IN LOOSE CHANGE AND USE THEM AS ARGUMENTS WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN DEBUNKED 20 TIMES OVER

http://www.ccdominoes.com/lc/lcg2.html

THANK YOU


Also, you must be talking about the smallass C-Ring hole. Look at the damage topside.

pic

To say there's barely any damage from the outside is deceiving due to some pics shot at front on angles from far away. Ever learn perspective in digital photography?

Edit: Let's also not forget the Pentagon is a concrete structure unlike the WTC.... You should expect different results. Ever see that F4 hitting a concrete bombproof wall? I laughed because it gets incinerated. The wall doesn't give an inch.

That damage was there only after the crash as many know . The orginal hole was SMALL. FACT undisputed by all but you.

Also the planes that hit the towers did hit softer face palm did the pentagon one thats true . But that opens up another can of worms . Like why didn't 4 titanium engines come out the other side of towers . Didn't happen. Those engines were moving at the same speed as the plane so why didn't they smash right threw to other side . Got pics of those engines lieing around somewere . There were 4 all toll . Were they go . I love the movies how they make things lookso real . But its not real anillusion . and were dealing with the masters of illusion here. Not some cheap ass magic man. Momentium and physics say they didn't just stop . You do know the pentagon was breached on the back wall also .

You used that as example . So why no plane parts breaching the tower . landing gear is heavey engines are heavey momentum would have carried them strait threw .

If ya want USA government did a crash test on reinforced walls . Plane completely disintagrated as they planned it to . Utube has the video . The jet runs on a rail. Small jet very small.

You sound like a guy who pulled a claim out of his ass and insists on playing games to pretend otherwise, and I have no interest in anything of the sort.

You also have no interest in having a discussion about your evidence, which is anything but irrefutable. You continually deny the reality that

(a) if your evidence was irrefutable, this thread wouldn't have gone on for this long

(b) if I was wrong about the near-universal support the official story receives, i would have had a real answer and not some whiny cop-out.

Face it, you've been coping out of providing answers this entire thread and, when you've actually engaged guys like TLC on their points your evidence at best comes up as questionable and at worst comes up like a guy who has already made up his mind about what happened and shoves his head in the sand when anybody challenges that.

Seriously, I gave you solid reasons to believe that there is a near-universal consensus about what happened on 911 among experts. I've cited the industry organizations, publications, and magazines. I've showed you that thousands of scientists within this country willingly agreed with the NIST report and even helped write it. Instead of making any acknowledgment about it, you are simply disengaging.

I hope you know that, to everybody here, that simply is raising the white flag as silently as you possibly can, which is perhaps the lowest of the low in any sort of conversation or debate. At least man up and admit you were wrong. I'm wrong to stick a true number on the percentage, that's true. I would say, though, that I'm safe in saying it's a mandate. Probably an overwhelming one.

I'm not going to be a dick about it, but I think you should just take a long look back at this entire thread. I won't speak for any other poster here, but you've continually dodged my questions. Hell, in my last post I even gave you a free pass, and I'll do it again:

Just pretend for a minute that I said, "yes, your evidence is good." What's your next move? Where does your argument go?

You've continually ignored these questions and accused me and others of being blinded by the big picture. On the contrary, I would say it is you who is shielding yourself from the big picture to focus on what essentially amounts to a single piece of hay in a haystack. Yeah, you might be right that it is the piece that sends everything toppling down, but you haven't proven that to anyone. Not a soul. Shouldn't that alone make you realize that your evidence isn't really as irrefutable as you think? Are we all government disinfo agents? Or are we just too stupid to see what you see?

It seems to me like you're making an argument from arrogance. "Fuck these people and their qualifications and their research... I know what's right!" How is that even a reasonable way to approach the problem? You level the same criticism at the NIST, that they had "tunnel vision" when, in reality, we have evidence that they serious considered the possibility of bombs bringing down the towers. They actually engaged in something you've refused to do -- take off the blinders and look around. They actually ran simulations of such a scenario and they quickly realized that (a) the simulations don't correspond to what we saw and (b) there is no other evidence, despite their search, for any bomb being planted.

You're so quick to the trigger to blast everyone else, but you've failed to truly address a problem most people see. If the government covered up 911, how did they simultaneously do such a shitty job and such a great job? We've talked about this before, but you've refused to give any answers, so I'd like to bring it up again.

If Bush, Silverstein, Israel, and whoever is sitting around thinking up a way to [insert motive], why risk it in such a complicated plan? Why do such an amazing job of shutting up everyone but leave such "tell-tale" mistakes behind that anybody with a "solid understanding" (or whatever you said) of physics can dissect in three seconds?

Here are a few scenarios to consider:

Scenario 1: The [insert government agency] discovered that Al Queda was planning 9/11. The government then decided to use this as a catalyst to start a war and planted explosives in the buildings to bring them down.

Issues: Well, if the government knew Al Queda was going to hit the towers, why bother with the explosives? You don't think Americans would have been just as hurt, fearful, and upset if a bunch of terrorists hijacked planes and hit the WTC? Even if the towers didn't collapse, the psychological damage would have been nearly equal and it would have required no cover-up except to silence those who knew it was going to happen.

Regarding the beginning of the thread, why would they have blown up WTC 7 then? As you see it as the shred of proof that the government was responsible, why risk your entire operation to blow up a building that wasn't hit by a plane? People are going to ask questions when a building collapses without being hit by a plane so, if you're in control, why make it an issue?

Scenario 2: The government planned 9/11 from the get-go and faked everything.

issues: Why use planes? Why not get the terrorists to plant explosives in the towers themselves? The WTC had already had such an attack in 1993 (I believe that's the right year). Why run two simultaneous high-risk operations? Why not cut out the planes entirely? There's no logical reason to increase your risk like that for basically no gain. Bombs in the basement of the building would have not only killed everyone in the WTC, but would have killed thousands more as the buildings most likely would not have collapsed on themselves. That kind of panic would allow the government to do anything. Plus, they could have then just told everyone the truth -- bombs brought down WTC 1,2,7. The physics would then match up with a bombing and all they'd have to cover up is who did it.

That doesn't even begin to address the Pentagon.

Don't you see why both these scenarios are highly improbable and raise more questions than they answer? It's as though you, and others, are just trying to jam a conspiracy into every single little crack and outlying piece of data you can find. You spend so much time jamming and prying away at this one little thing that you miss the fact that the crack you're working on is part of a massive building. You know?

They shall not escape Gods rath. Fact is they are among the first to die . Because they will be in those places when the seal is broken . What is the seal it could be many things . Such as a man falling to his knees in dispare and striking the earth with correctly used words in Gods tungue.

These places are real just like the fema camps and coffins all real not made up BS.

Reading their statement, it does not indicate that the FBI were censuring all media video/photos. At the time; FBI were also on the hunt for terrorist clues.

This is a Engineering Organization newsletter flyer.

While interesting, something more mainstream confirming that this was an policy and/or from the FBI itself would stand up to scrutiny.

from the context of the statement, it sounds like he was referring to the molten steel. remember that the area was no photography. so they probably had good control of what was released. id understand if the president of the SEAU was talking about dead bodies and then talk about the fbi censuring photos. but he was talking about molten steel.

thanks for the interest.

tell me the truth in this observation. an engineer actually forensically investigating the wtc 7 debris.

"One piece Dr. Astaneh-Asl saw was a charred horizontal I-beam from 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story skyscraper that collapsed from fire eight hours after the attacks. The beam, so named because its cross-section looks like a capital I, had clearly endured searing temperatures. Parts of the flat top of the I, once five-eighths of an inch thick, had vaporized.

Less clear was whether the beam had been charred after the collapse, as it lay in the pile of burning rubble, or whether it had been engulfed in the fire that led to the building's collapse, which would provide a more telling clue.

The answer lay in the beam's twisted shape. As weight pushed down, the center portion had buckled outward.

''This tells me it buckled while it was attached to the column,'' not as it fell, Dr. Astaneh-Asl said, adding, ''It had burned first, then buckled.''

remember, this was only 8 dyas after the attack. 15.9 mm of a36 steel gone.

and dr astaneh also said:
ABOLHASSAN ASTANEH: Here, it most likely reached about 1,000 to 1,500 degrees. And that is enough to collapse them, so they collapsed. So the word "melting" should not be used for girders, because there was no melting of girders. I saw melting of girders in World Trade Center.
http://www.nistreview.org/WTC-ASTANEH.pdf

The fact is that Mr. Astaneh-Asl concluded that the impacts and fires brought down the towers. He actually concluded later that it was because of a faulty design and never himself suggests that it was a demolition or that thermite was used. So why do you cite an expert yet ignore his conclusions?

Yours is a perfect example of how truthers glom on to one statement and try to blow it up into a huge conspiracy. That is their version of what the "truth" consists of. Fuck the forest and the trees. Focus on that one little leaf instead.

there are plenty of leaves to make a forest full of "vaporized" and "evaporated" steel.

A combination of an uncontrolled fire and the structural damage might have been able to bring the building down, some engineers said. But that would not explain steel members in the debris pile that appear to have been partly evaporated in extraordinarily high temperatures, Dr. Barnett said.

Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe

http://www.bentham-open.org/pa...02/00000001/7TOCPJ.SGM
Abstract
"We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic."
Look, kiddo. You can't link anything on 9/11 that I haven't seen already. Your links prove nothing because YOU say nothing. You pretend to link to some "OMG" moments but you are nothing but a link and run type. You post copy & paste jobs yet can't even begin to explain what they mean in your own words. I've been on this merry-go-round with you enough times to know your MO so stop providing your crap to me because I know that you're a pretender and nothing more.

Besides that, you fail to address my previous comment. Why do you cite an expert and ignore his real conclusion? Answer the question.


this is also of interest. the fbi had to pre approve wtc photographs before they were released for public view. --- thats bull...link please????


"as of 21 days after the attack, the fires were still burning and molten steel was still running. what concrete that wasnt pulverized into dust will continue to be removed for weeks to come. the structural steel is being removed and shipped by barge to be recycled.
all photographs shown on tv, shot on site were preapproved by the FBI. we were shown photographs that were not released for public view."

http://www.seau.org/SEAUNews-2001-10.pdf

ive read somewhere that there is a FOIA request to get the "not released for public view" shots.

the guy that wrote the article is james m williams president of SEAU.

so now we have the FBI restricting photos (from the context of the article, shots of molten metal), and regarding NIST?s work on the World Trade Center, everything had to be approved by the the National Security Agency!!!!!!

this is also of interest. the fbi had to pre approve wtc photographs before they were released for public view. --- thats bull...please provide a link concerning the FBI pre-approving .....pretty please????

Nice try.,..but thats hardly an authoritative article...it`s more of a organizational newsletter......
I am still waiting for proof from a mainstream newsource......

I'm still waiting to hear your own explanation of why you continually dote on that issue as if it means anything. Of course, you've never explained your beliefs in this forum and run away when questioned on those beliefs, or post some vague handwaving bullshit. There's nothing pseudo about my skepticism because it was already clear long ago that you're yet another truther poser acting as if you understand the facts when you're really simply blinded by your own ignorance.

it means a whole lot. 15. 9 mm of a36 steel will not corrode in 8 days with sissons thoeory. sisson said at 1100C the reaction was not fast and removed little metal in 24hrs. so sissons theory regarding the swiss cheese steel is just that.....a theory.

If you have any questions or arguments with anything in this post, please present them, and if not then a simple "agreed" will do, at which point I will move on to addressing another section of your reply. Note that I did skip over your request for the math here, and I've explained why before; the math won't be any good to you until you are comfortable with the principles of physical reality which it describes.

I teach physics. I am a calculus professor. I majored in ceramic engineering (materials engineering) at Alfred University - the #1 school in the world for ceramic engineering at the time. Before you dismiss that engineering field as being irrelevant, consider that it requires extensive knowledge about the mechanics of materials, loads, etc. Subsequent to that, I decided to return to school to major in applied mathematics. I graduated summa cum laude & was ranked #1 in my university during my junior year. My conceptual understanding of physics is exceptional. Please, make with the math.

Also, your original post makes an assertion, but provides no proof. That the acceleration of the building was nearly identical to free-fall proves nothing. Allow me to explain with a VERY simple analogy, one that you can probably wrap your head around: Stand on an aluminum can. An aluminum can is strong enough to support a person's weight. Have someone very gently tap the side of the aluminum can. You will come crashing down with an acceleration indistinguishable from free-fall. Does your friend have nano-thermite on his finger? That simple experiment shows definitively that YOU need to provide more evidence to support your assertion. For what it's worth, when I first learned about doing that with cans, cans were made of steel. They too provided negligible resistance to falling.

Furthermore, you make the assertion that in order to have an acceleration nearly identical to free-fall, there would be virtually no resistance. That's been one of your biggest physics blunders throughout this thread that shows you have minimal conceptual understanding of the physics involved. Acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass. As the gravitational force on the falling building was tremendous, the structure could still provide a large amount of resistance, however compared to that tremendous amount of gravitational force, that resistance is negligible.

Additionally, your approach treats it as a static load, not a dynamic load. The simplest analogy for most people to comprehend what you're overlooking is this: watch someone "karate chop" multiple concrete blocks. A person can easily stand and have his entire weight (actually, the weight of multiple people) supported by just one block. Yet someone can "karate chop" multiple layers of concrete blocks - those blocks provide virtually no resistance. - If you're going to claim that it's just a magic trick where those blocks are pre-cut or something, you're wrong.



This thread has been going for over 1000 posts. I challenged you to prove 1 point. So far, all you've made is an assertion based on the evidence that the building accelerated at nearly free-fall. Other than the free-fall acceleration, you've provided no proof that the building could not have done so without outside intervention.

I'm waiting for the math. (I won't hold my breath, since I HIGHLY doubt you can understand the mathematics involved - the most likely reason you keep putting off the math by claiming we can't understand what's going on.) As I said in the PFI post, I was giving you the opportunity to prove your case. You've done nothing of the sort.

Now, although I think you're a fucking retard, I'll give you the opportunity to prove otherwise.

It's another misrepresentation of the facts. The FBI was restricting photography at ground zero, on-site, not all photography. They did so because there were still dead bodies in the rubble. It was out of respect for the those who died in the collapse and not due to any nefarious intent. Leave it up to the fucking dumbass truthers to misrepresent why there were restrictions though. Sheesh. The depth of lying they'll go to is astounding.

here is ONE point. not even sisson has been able to "corrode" 15.9 mm of steel in 8 days like the steel of wtc 7.
