If you can provide me with any evidence to substantiate you call for an investigation into such matters, then I'd be happy to back you. Absent that, you sound like every other nutcase I've heard ratting about such nonsense before you.

Well Obama produced a birth certificate after calls for it became vocal enough. His campaign posted it online. But it was a fake! Everyone could see there was no raised seal and the official state number was wrong! So they had reporters in person verify the seal was raised and the number was accurate. Doubters said they wouldn't believe until the Hawaiian govt issued a statement that it was real. So the Hawaiian govt issued a statement that the cert was real. Did that stop the doubt? Nope, it merely confirmed the conspiracy had penetrated into the Hawaiian state department!

Please, if a report or investigation were re-done by NIST alongside 5 other groups and they came out and issued identical findings, you'd still call bullshit. Because you can't square what they are telling you with what you've already decided must be true since you, a newtonian physics buff, have seen video of the collapse and you know what the truth is.

Every single aspect of the 9/11 whackadoos has been refuted over and over and they just keep hangin on and shifting arguments and still, to this day, can't piece together a story that makes sense other than what everyone else saw with their own eyes.

There comes a point where you have to stop dealing with what's "possible" and start dealing in what's "likely". People can't keep secrets for shit. If you have a conspiracy that large, someone talks. It's been 8 yeras, no one has talked. No new evidence has arisen. Time to put this one to bed, or mumble yourself to sleep about faked moon landings.

Sclamoz, that makes all the sense in the world and is totally consistent with how I picture what happened intuitively, but sadly we now know it is all completely wrong. There is a steel building in China that caught fire, really caught fire, but it didn't fall.

My only hope now is that somehow, in some magical way, the mighty, TastesLikePullet, will be able to explain why no occult command was issued in that case, to pull it and bring it down.

I hear, however, that there are millions of Chinese who claim it was a government conspiracy that left it standing, some secret effort to shame American building technology with ceramic insulation. Traces of feldspar and silica were found on the girders, apparently.

Well, It could be a Chinese coup. Too bad our pseudo investigation did not or could not test like the Chinese did, if they did. We sent most all the steel from 9/11 to them so maybe we'll get a report back someday.

I gots an affirmative question for you Moonerator :)

Take a typical beam section from WTC 1,2 that is about 35' in length. But after the event was bent like a horse shoe. Given the carbon content of that kind of steel etc... should it have bent like that or cracked or split or what? Seems to me very intense heat AND lots of pressure had to be applied. I've read that the steel becomes brittle and breaks before it would deform into a horse shoe configuration.

I do not know. That us a question that would require technical knowledge I do not have and of a specific and narrow materials kind. There is no way I can use a general understanding of physics to answer it. I do think, however, the horseshoes are made of steel. I also believe that if they found a steel beam bent in the way you describe in the ruins that it is possible for it to happen. Occam's razor again.

And of course anyone who does come forward against the official story gets shouted down or worse, so I'm sure many are dissuaded from ever really looking into the matter simply by that.

Who has been bought into covering things up, blackmailed into covering things up, or just simply confused into covering things up, is something I doubt more than some few people know, and certainly not anything I am in any position to speculate on. However, if we ever get a real investigation set up, I'd wager we find it is some mix of all of the above.

And I take issue with your "1000" claim, as it seems to be dervied from your imagination.

They are 912 architectural and engineering professionals at the moment, but it's hard to expect others to even try to look into the matter, let alone come forward on it, with all you falsers standing poised to shout them down with inane arguments while refusing to address the facts.

Check your list out, A fair portion of the people listed as engineers in that 912 count are electrical, computer, and mechanical engineers. Guess what? They know nothing about structural engineering. I counted a total of about 10 structural engineers on the list. (using a quick search)

Heck, they even list Marine Engineers... Yeah, a guy that works as a coast guard agent knows a lot about building integrity.

Well, some things are accepted as being impossible. You'd agree, I presume. Then what is not impossible is possible and possible to degrees. Something remotely possible is just that. It is remote that your basketball game contained bribes but if there is some evidence even a little bit like your 70 pt per game player only hits 30 pts you may want to look at it if you lost a bundle betting on it.. if not then what does it matter to you? Fair play? maybe.. or maybe in your thinking a 40 pt change is no big deal... to me... maybe it is.. depends

Of course you should not want to go repeating things you don't understand, and I would never want anyone to do such a thing. That said, I have provided all the necessary details to understanding how the official explanation contradicts the laws of physics right in the OP, expounded on them throughout this thread since then, and will happily answer any questions on this which you might have; all you have to do is ask them. Beyond that, you can find a collection others demonstrations of the the physics involved in the collapse of WTC on this page, and plenty of other places around the net if you care to look.

Alternatively, you could ask the falsers to prove their claims though a simulation of a structure undergoing a period of free fall acceleration as a result of impact damage and office fires, but I assure you that you won't get anywhere with that.

lol. Many of their members are lab techs, high school teachers, and/or have expertise in disciplines that hve nothing to do with architecture or structural engineering.

I don't know either tis why I asked.
I saw that horseshoe and thought so what. Then I hear some engineer indicate that it is odd to have occurred cuz of the dimensions and the type of steel involved etc... Well he knows more than me and you know more than me so maybe you could explain it to me.
I know not and know I know not, I am a student, teach me :D

It is the folks who know not and know not that they know not who worry me...

Thanks for that link, I'll forward to HR for future applicant screening.

The American Institute of Architechts alone, has a membership of over 83,000. As for the broader employment base of engineers, there's roughly 1.5 million engineering jobs in the US as of 2006.

So it's nice you found 912 of em who agree with you. I'll go with the silent overwhelming freaking majority who don't.

If you want to make absurd arguments against the fact that Obama was born in Hawaii, make your own thread to do that and keep such nonsense out of mine.

It's much easier to call people nutjobs, lunatics and tin-foils than to go against popular belief. Ignorance is bliss, and apparently people are more willing to believe a polished lie than the ugly truth.

As in any criminal case, there needs to be a motive... in this case, the motive is war. War is profitable, and it allows the expansion of power. Without 9/11 there would have been no public support for war with Afghanistan or Iraq. Look at what caused the US to enter other wars:

WW1: The sinking of the Lusitania. Germany declared the waters off the coast of Britain a war zone, and the US damn well knew that the Lusitania was in danger of being torpedoed. The German embassy even issued a statement prior to that, warning about the risk. But did anyone listen? No, because that's exactly what the US wanted - an attack on a civilian ship to fuel public anger against Germany.

WW2: The attack on Pearl Harbor. The US put an embargo on trade of crucial resources with Japan, in collaboration with the British, and froze Japanese assets in the US. The US govt further agitated Japanese leadership with ridiculous "peace talk" demands they knew the Japanese would never accept. And even when the US intelligence had learned than the Japanese fleet wan en route to Hawaii, they issued no warning to commanders stationed there. After the attack, the public support for war was once again unified.

Vietnam War: Gulf of Tonkin incident. A naval clash happened as a result of covert attacks by the US on North Vietnam, resulting in the sinking of a Vietnamese torpedo boat. Then the US govt fabricated a story about another attack by North Vietnamese boats on a US warship 2 days later, when in fact no such attack took place. But the trigger-happy govt was just happy to demonize North Vietnam in the public eye with such news, and thus we enter yet another war.

Which brings us to 9/11/2001. If the attack on WTC had in fact been unprovoked and completely unexpected, it would be an exception, rather than par for the course. And, as if the attack wasn't enough, there were a series of anthrax mailings which the govt used to further bolster the nation against Iraq and Afghanistan, when in fact the military-grade anthrax originated from a military research base in the US, not any part of the Middle East. But with corporate media spreading the scare and shaping public opinion, it was easy to ram the tyrannical Patriot Act into law, and accuse Iraq on WMD charges without evidence. Next thing you know, we're involved in 2 messy wars once again, while the corporate elite laugh all the way to the bank as they continue to deceive the gullible sheep.

So you'd agree that the Structural Engineers would know a thing or two about Structural stuff and the Computer ones about Simulation and the Mechanical ones something about the mechanical aspects and the Electrical ones could comment on the Power station underneath WTC 7 and the Marine Engineers about what ever it is they know?

It seems to me that Structural Engineering folks like the ones at UCSD who developed the earth quake building stuff I see them swaying all about and talking about resonance factors and the kind of steel and all that junk are appropriate to opine on the Earthquake stuff related to buildings and that most any Structural Engineer would agree with the basic premise of the thesis provided? IF that is true, what is it about what the 10 structural engineers are saying that is not true or misleading?

He takes issue with utter absurdity of the report, including the physics of free fall is the basis for this thread at this time stamp.


The part where he says "the NIST was forced to admit the near freefall speed of the WTC collapse..."?

He never says anything about why it couldn't happen, he just brought that up and then goes on to talk about how the MAINSTREAM MEDIA where made aware of the plot ahead of time.

I want you to tell me, in detail the physics because you apparently understand this all better then the rest of us, and I feel like once I can explain to people what laws of physics the official version ignored and how there will be no stopping us!

Unless of course the people behind this secret conspiracy that killed thousands decide to stop us from talking about it.

I mean if the NIST can come up with an explanation and a computer simulation we need to do better than just yell IMPOSSIBLE! or no one will take us seriously, right?


Alternatively, you could ask the falsers to prove their claims though a simulation of a structure undergoing a period of free fall acceleration as a result of impact damage and office fires, but I assure you that you won't get anywhere with that.

Isn't that what the NIST did to prove their side of the story????


The analyses of the video (both the estimation of the instant the roofline began to descend and the calculated velocity and acceleration of a point on the roofline) revealed three distinct stages characterizing the 5.4 seconds of collapse:

* Stage 1 (0 to 1.75 seconds): acceleration less than that of gravity (i.e., slower than free fall).
* Stage 2 (1.75 to 4.0 seconds): gravitational acceleration (free fall)
* Stage 3 (4.0 to 5.4 seconds): decreased acceleration, again less than that of gravity

This analysis showed that the 40 percent longer descent time?compared to the 3.9 second free fall time?was due primarily to Stage 1, which corresponded to the buckling of the exterior columns in the lower stories of the north face. During Stage 2, the north face descended essentially in free fall, indicating negligible support from the structure below. This is consistent with the structural analysis model which showed the exterior columns buckling and losing their capacity to support the loads from the structure above. In Stage 3, the acceleration decreased as the upper portion of the north face encountered increased resistance from the collapsed structure and the debris pile below

I'm glad I don't buy into that nonsense anymore. But in order to open peoples eyes to the truth we need facts and evidence to backup what we say!
