    I'm sorry, but thats the weakest argument ever. If he did do as you claimed, quote his post.

    Ok, fair point.

    Although Diogenes has since stated himself that Atta's fathers testimonies are not reliable.

    Now can we please get back to the topic at hand? WTC7s collapse


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Sofa_King Good


    Agreed on both points. The double standard and moving on.Apologies to OP and all.

    We're talking about why WTC7 collapsed, and aside from Mysterious not grasping the concept of what I've been saying, no one has provided proof from a reputable source disproving that logical, scientific reasoning behind events.

    I've a question.

    From what I can see, your explanation of events differs to that of NIST.

    You've stressed time and time again the structural damage caused by falling debris.
    Unless I'm mis-remembering, NIST's final position was that other than starting the fires the falling debris and the damage it caused played no significant role whatsoever in the collapse. Structural weakening, possible damage to fireproofing etc. was all irrelevant to their model, but you've stressed these very points.

    Do you disagree with NIST?

    I should note in passing that your position is consistent with the direction NIST originally took. Indeed, it is consistent with the content in the various interim reports on the WTC7 collapse. It is not, however, consistent with the final report which concluded that what really doomed WTC7 was a design-flaw.

    On the back of this result (again, from memory) they recommended changes to building codes, and that any building with potentially the same flaw be reviewed.

    Do you think they got it wrong?

    Sure Ya did

    Atta's father originally denied his son was involved, then admitted he was and demanded 5,000 dollars from CNN for an interview, money he claimed he intended to use to launch a Jihad.
    The mastermind and pilot in the 9/11 attacks, Mohammed Atta, also grew up in relatively middle class surroundings. Today CNN spoke with Atta's father, a lawyer, and found he's not at all upset by what his son and other terrorists have done. In fact, he praised the London attacks. He says those bombings and 9/11 were just the beginning and that he's hoping for more. He wouldn't speak to us on camera, though, unless we shelled out 5,000 bucks, enough, he says, to pay for another London attack. Needless to say we didn't give him any money.

    CNN transcript from 2005 Your original claim about Atta's father, and the misidentification of hijackers all come in the confused first few days after the attacks, however clarification and subsequent investigation has shown That Atta's father now claims his son carried out 911 and he himself wants to continue to support terrorism.

    The only person working to a double standard here is you SKG.
    No. I am saying the FBI shots are the photos of living people.

    WHERE'S YOUR PROOF? AND WHY HAVEN'T CONSPIRACY THEORISTS BEEN ABLE TO FIND THESE MEN SINCE 911 OVER 8 YEARS AGO.

    Firstly you say that they are photos are men who are alive, and then you post up two photos of clearly different men and say
    Looks the same to me.

    Seriously you're just gibbering now.

    Fair point. I can't say whether or not I disagree with NIST, as I haven't read their reports. I know the gist of what they are saying, but I havent studied the reports in any detail other than a quick look over a few overviews.

    As I said before, I know a good bit about structural design as I peform this task as part of my job (I'm a building surveyor working for an engineering company. Part of my college education was Structural Mechanics, Structural detailing and design, and Building design and performance: Structures, and each of those were my favourite subjects in those years), but trust me, I don't know everything. The argument I have been putting forward is basically what I would perceive to be the most logical and reasonable deductions about what happened. My constant mentioning of the fireproofing damage by debris was merely an explanation as to how the fire could have weakened the steel and caused the collapse, which is in essence the topic of the thread with the fire of the hotel in Beijing.

    If what you say is correct, this is the explanation originally deduced by NIST, so there would have to be some basis in what I'm saying. As for their final conclusion about the design flaw, I would have to read the reports etc to be able to give an opinion on that. Although even taking a quick look over it, it seems fairly accurate. The steel column in question would roughly be where the kink in the roof was as it fell. But again, I wouldn't know for sure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Sofa_King Good


    to clarify the reason I reposted the photos of the alleged hijackers was in response to this
    Post the pictures of the living men then, so we can compare them

    The photo's of the allegedely "alive and well" hijackers according to the FBI are the same photos of those wrongly accused. I do not think they are the same person or even they lookalike.Can we please drop it now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,443 ✭✭✭✭bonkey


    The photo's of the allegedely "alive and well" hijackers according to the FBI are the same photos of those wrongly accused.

    They're the photo's the FBI released.

    There were some cases of incorrect photo's being used by the media, before the FBI released their list.

    There were some cases after the photo's were released of family saying (as in the case of the Al-Hamzis) that they doubted their sons were involved and were sure they'd turn up.

    I do not believe, however, that there are any reliable reports from after they were released, where someone has gone on teh record saying "thats me" or "thats my son". I'm open to correction on that though.

    FWIW, 911myths.com has links to individual cases for the 9 names most typically linked to "still alive" stories, as well as decent coverage of the typically-linked-to articles.

    So that's your main argument, it looked like a demo job to the untrained eye?

    Actually i have seen (with my untrained eye) a lot of controlled demolision jobs on TV and WTC7 had major differences, the most obvious was the lack of very loud explosions, unless of course they used some super secret silent explosive which also had no real flash.

    Structural damage was minimal, it was to one corner the steel frames would have to be struck from the main central columms in order to weaken it.

    But damage to corners of building can be the most dangerous. The Ronan point colapse in 1968 showed that.

    Sorry, but that link proves nothing. It compares 2 different buildings with different fires in very different situations. Yet more ill-informed and unsubstantiated nonsense.

    Yes but the argument of WTC7 been damaged heavily or even partially is a load of balls.

    The Building on it's left is more in line with the north tower, was also cosmetically damaged. I.e showing of hail stone rubble. There was a street and another high rise in blocking most of the heavy debris from WT7 and the two non exploded buildings. As WTC7 is pretty well protected fromt the heavy debris. Still doesnt argue the fact that falling rubble that damaged WTC7 would make it fall ffs. Glass even still was intact during it's whole course before imploding.

    God this is getting so childish and ignorant at this stage.
    Do any of you have any idea what kind of information they had in this building. Guess not.It was the base of the ministry of defence. A bit ironic eh.

    It's beyond ignorant that people say that it was damaged heavily it wasn't. The steel frames were not hindered in any way. The fire were only in isolated section's of the building. It's retarded to think that this fire

    burning and dust and rubble from a further away building would bring a 47 storey tower VERTICALLY DOWN IN 6.8 SECONDS, IT'S PHYISCALLY IMPORSSIBLE WITHOUT THE USE OF SOME EXPLOSIVES OR MEDDELING WITH THE STEEL FRAME OF THE BUILDING.

    end of f***** story. Enough of this bull**** please.


    NIST picture's have also been shown to be different to other reports and public pictures of the cosmetic damage that was down to the south corner of it's building. So someone is lying here.

    You should watch this.

    The fire argument, moot
    The cosmetic argument also idiotic

    Shakes head.

    The explosives are not meant to be seen ffs. Do you want them to give it away and put up a poster saying hey we have a bomb in WTC7 and it doesn't flash.

    Firstly there are two points. One ifvSteel is immune to the properties of fire how the devil do we make and mould it? Secondly, if steel buildings never collapse due to fire, why on earth do we bother going to the trouble of fire proofing Steel?

    As to you astonishing claim about no steel building ever being brought down due to fire, ahem,

    And a news story about a fire in a steel framed building in NJ.

    What do all these fires have in common all occured in steel framed building, all concluded in either partial or total collapse of the structure.

    Steel factory and a reinforced steel concrete skyscraper are totally different type of buildings. Geomtry, shape, materials, dates built would be far different, foundations different.

    WTC7 is a high rise building.
    It is reported that buildings numbers 1-4 were four story buildings constructed with an unprotected steel structure. (Unprotected means that the steel was not insulated against heat and looses its strength at high temperatures such as those generated in a structural fire.) The floor of the four buildings were prefabricated concrete. The fire completely destroyed three of the four large buildings.

    How old was it btw, 82 years old? Did it crumble to the grownd in 2 seconds? Since its only four storeys it should of fell much quicker than WTC7

    How long was the fall? did it appear like the demolition job of WTC7, like vertically like in 6.8 seconds.

    WTC7 had pocket fires. Many of the windows were still intact.

    Okay you understand there is a difference between your camera and a controlled demolition right? The flash isn't optional in the latter. In a chain reaction demolition they don't have the option to have demo charges to flash, no flash. You're really just exposing your ignorance here.

    You're saying that the WTC7 looks like a controlled demolition yet you're also saying that if a CD demo team decided to, they could demolish a building without the tell tale flashes from CD charges. Perhaps you could provide some visual examples to support your claim?

    If you don't understand the difference between the optional flash of a camera light amplifier and the necessary result of a demolition charge, you are just exposing your own ignorance.

    Firstly may I remind you you claimed that no steel framed building ever collapsed due to fire, you're now moving the goalposts.

    WTC wasn't a steel reinforced building for a start.


    Okay this is your cake, would you like your cake or would you like to eat your cake. You're basically saying that the Bejing fire proves that WTC7 was a CD, but all other

    And your point is caller? How many of these buildings were built over ConEd power substations? NY underground stations? With a single major supporting beam.

    Get the logic... His flash excuses is just so stupid its embarressing and quite disturbing as evidence to say it wasn't a demolition job. What is next, it can't be a bomb, cus demolitions don't amplify sound waves from a certain point. Jesus christ I've never head such nonsense in all my life.

    Unwanted profanity aside, you seem to be ignoring several possibilities, teh most obvious of which is that it didn't take 6.8 seconds.

    So when people say it looks just like controlled demolition, what they really mean is that it looks just like controlled demolition would look like, if the people doing it were trying to make it not look like controlled demolition?

    Maybe this is all true and the government did plan the destruction and left all the vital clues on purpose for the truly enlightened, after all, they are geniuses to have fooled so many, they should be able to be clever enough to fool the rest of the people too.

    The purpose in them releasing enough evidence for the select few CTers out there to see the conspiracy is so that they can then find them via websites such as this, which is easy for them, no matter how many proxies are used ;) and then use them for their next undercover black op, which is shrouded in an elaborate conspiracy that actually looks like a plan to uncover a conspiracy but is actually something rather sinister.

    I will say no more, I will copyright the idea and turn it into a book/film.

    Where is your evidence.
    A structural engineer, from my youtube video described it down to a tee. the amount of time. When the explosion happened. From this point whee the roof fell in on itself to the ground fell in 6.8 seconds. Some people say 9 seconds, many reports say 9seconds. Including the media and it was said on the ABC the View by Rosie O Donnell. The building fell fast, very fast like a demoltion job. every floor vertically down.

    Watch the video and count it, I'm sure it's between 6.8 seconds and 10 thereabouts.

    If it were 14 seconds still an amazing feat don't you think.

    Isolated fires, bring a tall building down in 20 seconds even, still amazing. But you know I'm dealing with ignorance, so no matter how amazing or how surreal people wont accept the inane reality due to ignorance
    So when people say it looks just like controlled demolition, what they really mean is that it looks just like controlled demolition would look like, if the people doing it were trying to make it not look like controlled demolition?

    So what are you saying
    It wasn't............................ because???????????????????

    There was nothing close to being a high-rise between WTC7 and the towers. The only building between WTC 7 and WTC 1 was WTC 6....a staggering 9 stories tall.

    To suggest it meant WTC 7 was "pretty well protected" is like suggesting that snow couldn't fall of a roof and hit you on the head, because a dog was standing between you and the building, coming up to your knees.

    I just have to applauded that post. Just refreshing to see the reality outside of this nonsense.

    The governments create conspiracies. and create conspiracy websites. It's again all about distracting and misguiding the masses.

    The govrnment don't have to do anything, when they plot the scene, the sheeple fight each other. The government don't have to be a genious when you see retarded threads here with people fighting over who did it.

    Okay I need to use small sentences, You are claiming that the collapse of WTC 7 looks like a classic controlled demolition, because it looks like a controlled demolition despite the fact it doesn't have the fact that a controlled demoltion includes a bottom down collapse, a serious of detonation charges that are can be spotted by the visible able to be spotted on the richer scale.

    NOW NOW don't twist it. It didnt take three years, for WTC towers to do that cosmetic damage that hit the south corner. Now now.

    Your quoted figure was to remove the demolition job, rubble, steel, the transportation cost of it all, the coverop, the clearing and the man hours over the 3 years etc.

    Bonkey that twisting **** annoys the poo out of me.
    Dont do that, I thought you'd have more respect and cop on than that.

    Cosmetic damage, is the rubble from the demolished twintowers. Don't twist it please. Are we clear?
    There was nothing close to being a high-rise between WTC7 and the towers. The only building between WTC 7 and WTC 1 was WTC 6....a staggering 9 stories tall.[/quote it was still a very expansive large building and plue a street was also there

    Funny how you just oh suddenly to forget that.
    Right opposite this buitling WT6 I think. is the building adjacent to WTC7, got simalar if not more damage than WTC7.

    I'm sure they had much office hours and lot's of coffee in this building today. Funny eh.
    To suggest it meant WTC 7 was "pretty well protected" is like suggesting that snow couldn't fall of a roof and hit you on the head, because a dog was standing between you and the building, coming up to your knees.
    Considering it's between two standing buildings I would say so, and the fact that WT7 fell like a pancake in a few seconds, yet the others have little effect

    Is ignorant bonkey. ffs.

    Pancake, do you realise that a 47 story bulding became a pancake, yet the two buildings beside it didnt fall.

    Have you any idea, what was in WTC7 that may well have give reasons for the government to blow it up. Do you know what departments was in that building.

    The steel frames were not hindered in any way? Really? Care to elaborate? It seems ignorant that someone would claim the steel frame was not hindered in any way while it had been subjected to FIRE, SEISMIC VIBRATIONS FROM 2 ****ING SKYSCRAPERS COLLAPSING BESIDE IT AND BEING HIT BY THE RUBBLE FROM IT. It is NOT physically impossible without the use of explosives. NIST ran computer generated simulations and found that the building could have fallen FASTER than it actually did with damage to certain key structural members.

    And I'm still awaiting your theory on how they set up all the explosives without anyone noticing. There were many government departments in that building. There were also many public ones.


    That proved nothing and was the most biased piece of propaganda bull**** you've posted yet.
