    There is no point of discussing anymore if people can't get the facts right.
    I am done with this.

    Is that a promise?

    Yea 14 seconds plus.
    I already posted a video clearly timing the collapse:

    And I like how you add the little shot about the Joos.
    Adds oh so much to your credibility.

    That's actually not a fact at all.
    But you seriously can't understand that things might explode during a fire?

    Well for one that's what we call an out of context quote.
    Two I don't actually need to refer to it to see the bull**** you're parroting, in fact I rarely do refer back to it, instead just showing the huge internal flaws in your theory.
    And three, I can say the same just switch official report with "Loose Change" or whatever.

    Dramatic walk outs don't make you right unfortunately.
    But maybe you should practise what you preach next time and try and get your facts straight?

    Well one more try
    ex·plo·sion
    –noun
    1. an act or instance of exploding; a violent expansion or bursting with noise, as of gunpowder or a boiler.
    2. the noise itself: The loud explosion woke them.
    3. a violent outburst, as of laughter or anger.
    4. a sudden, rapid, or great increase: a population explosion.
    5. the burning of the mixture of fuel and air in an internal-combustion engine.
    ex·plo·sive
    –adjective
    1. tending or serving to explode: an explosive temper; Nitroglycerin is an explosive substance.
    2. pertaining to or of the nature of an explosion: explosive violence.
    3. likely to lead to violence or hostility: an explosive issue.

    No one other than the CT's are remotely surprised that people heard explosions. You could list off dozens of things in this situation that are likely to explode or sound like an explosion. However NO ONE is saying they heard anything like the explosions you'd hear with controlled demolitions, there are no recordings of these explosions and there are no seismic readings. So as I keep saying unless they were magic explosives they simply didn't exist.

    I'm not saying anything is impossible, some things are very very unlikely though.

    In the experiments I've seen they couldn't get thermite to cut steel beams. No one has shown that to be possible on a large steel beam. And even if it was possible you are talking literally truck loads of the stuff. But 20 thousand people worked between WTC1 and 2 and not one of them saw anything.

    I can understand if people think the US had some involvement in 911. But I believe anyone who spends a few hours looking at controlled demolition videos on the internet will see that the WTC collapses lack the same characteristics other than very superficially, i.e. the buildings did collapse.

    We know other steel framed buildings have collapsed just from fire, these are documented facts no matter how many times the CT sites say otherwise. Structural steel in buildings is always fire proofed exactly because it's well known to be vulnerable to direct fire. But the WTC 1 and 2 were hit by planes and left to burn, plus given their cone in a cone design the only surprising thing is they stood as long as they did.

    At the end of the day we can speculate that it was space lasers or the Martians did it but what is the most likely reason... planes hits and fires.

    Why are you talking to me about thermate?

    I'm discussing the options, and not inventing even more far fetched reason for how it happened.

    That doesn't answer my question. Why did you quote my post and debunk thermite? I never made any mention of thermite.

    Here is (PETN?) explosives slicing through metal.

    I made it very clear I was refering to other CTers. I never said that you held these beliefs. Just that the claims you did make puts you at odds with many of the other claims made by CTers.
    Not according to multiple eye-witnesses
    Who reported explosions going off at random times well before the collapse.
    Not multiple loud and visible explosions on multiple floors going off in sequence immediately followed by the collapse of the building, which would be very apparent on the videos of the buildings.
    Such as?
    Being a total stealth demolition?
    Having a huge portion of the top of the building tilt?
    Spreading debris all over other buildings and the streets.
    Having explosions going off at random times well before the collapse.
    Oh and also having a gaping flaming hole in the sides of the buildings.
    Actually no. The acceleration. The squibs. The flashes. The explosive sounds. The explosions prior to the collapse. The collapse into the point of most resistance. The pulverised dust ejected.
    Well there is no squibs. or flashes.
    The explosions reported by witnesses are much much prior to the collapse.
    The collapse to the point of most resistance seems to be an entirly CTer invention.
    So the only one I'll give you is the dust, but that's also a feature of a building collapsing and forcing the dust out.
    Yes. Nothing wrong with being mistaken though.
    So it doesn't bother you when people hammer on about something you believe is true then use something you know is untrue to prove it?
    I haven't claimed that have I? I'm just asking questions.
    Right....
    But you think there is a ruse, but you can't know if there is one...
    Because there is good reason to believe that justice has not been served.
    Some people value justice.
    But how can they know this if people who are much smarter are covering it up?
    Because it is an ambigous statement. Why are you asking me for anyway?
    So it's ambiguous whether or not he's admitting to being involved on camera? Really?
    Don't see how.
    See above.

    As I said if it wasn't the planes and fires then there are a limited number of things if could be. I'm discussing those things.

    Have i taken you up wrong, you do think it was planes and fires?
    Here is (PETN?) explosives slicing through metal.

    ... video snipped...

    As I've said before if we are to believe these buildings were too strong to collapse from a plane hit and fires then presumably you'd also need a large amount of explosive to take them down. They were built in two steel 'cones'. So following this logic numerous beams would need to be blown. Given that the sounds of the explosives were clearly audible in your video with only two thinner beams (after the prep work) it seems your proving my point that the explosives would be easily heard.

    The 9/11 comission report and the NIST 9/11 report are two seperate reports with NIST being a scientific one. How can someone doing the 9/11 commision report comment on the NIST report when it followed it later.

    I think you need to get your facts right to be honest

    Lets be honest here. You clearly don't view thermite as a possibility. Accept it for what it was - a strawman.

    I haven't ruled out the possibility. However, regardless of how the towers came down it does not implicate beyond reasonable doubt CIA asset Osama and his rent-a-crew of monkey bar training terrorists.

    And they were by multiple witnesses. It is not very sceptical to blindly trust the audio from the youtube films and news reports as they can easily be doctored; as they have been done omitting and drowning out the sounds of explosives.

    Whatever about the news reports who could have doctored them under direction of the government, what about the videos taken from people with their own cameras. Why would they be doctored and how perhaps is a better question?

    How many home videos of the main events of 9/11 can you find on youtube that you havn't seen before? More to the point, how many of these hypothetical scenario videos can you find? Still doesn't answer your question but it is the other side to it.

    What exactly are you on about? There are countless examples of people with their own videos. Its kind of obvious that I would have seen most as most people beacause it happened 9 years ago:rolleyes:.

    This is definitely the best of the 'home videos' I have seen.




    Do you think there is only a few videos filmed by people? Were these people all stopped by the FBI or something before they uploaded?

    Why don't you just cut to the chase and quit with the cat and mouse stuff? I'll go to the trouble of going through youtube videos tto find a good example of the squibs that we have both already seen and you'll respond with "haha thats air being forced out through compression".

    There are no flashes and no squibs. Prove me wrong.
    Correction SOME of the reported explosions are prior to collapse(s). There are many reports of explosions immediately prior to the collapse.
    Again put up or shut up.

    Also none of these are on any of the video despite the fact that they would be very very apparent.
    The earlier reports of explosions are also consistent with controlled demolition as non supporting walls are taken out prior to the final demolition.
    No they are not. That's not how they do demolitions at all. They remove any supporting walls before they set explosives and this is a very hard and labour intensive and very very visible.
    So any chance you can provide any examples of supporting walls being taken out prior to collapse?
    huh? Obviously the floors beneath them are the point of most resistance
    So down? Where are they supposed to go exactly?
    OK so thats 2: Dust and acceleration.
    Neither of which require explosives or are indicative of a demolition.

    Why do you not believe its air/debris being forced out through the window from the stairwells? The reason i ask is the supposed squibs dont appear that often. If they were to demolish the WTC I would imagine alot of them going off i.e. alot of explosives. If you saw a video with a good number of squibs I might change my mind. I am open to any theory especially if its shown to me by video.

    Brown Bomber said non-supporting walls. From what I know, they may remove some non load-bearing walls, but this is mostly in order to make it easier to set the explosives on the load-bearing walls, including all the wires between the explosives.

    However, they would not remove non load-bearing walls using explosives. I'm sorry, but that makes very little sense. I can't imagine the non load-bearing walls offering any sort of real resistance, and if they somehow had the building rigged to blow in such a non-conventional way that it was unaffected by the fires, the impact of the plane and could be hidden in such a way that nobody working in the building noticed them, they would have focused on the load-bearing elements. Blowing up the non load-bearing walls with explosives before blowing up the rest of the building makes very little sense and very amateurish for what would need to be a precision operation.

    It's not that I actually discount it, it's a possibilty imo as is the controlled demolition hypothesis. I have doubts on both.

    All perfectly reasonable and I can't argue with it. I think it is also reasonable to assume that if it was a controlled demolition then it would be disguised as such in the greatest amount possible at the time.

    I bow to your far superior knowledge and experience as an engineer. Not being sarcastic btw.

    Could we agree that the explosions prior to collapse could have been prep work weakening the central structure for the final demolition?

    As for getting the explosives in...

    This is detcord


    Resource.ashx?File=%2F4%2F250Cordtex_5P_1.jpg

    This is regular fibre optic cable


    multimode-duplex-bulk-fiber-62.5-125-500-feet.jpg

    Now you as an engineer might be able to tell the difference just by looking at them but I surely can't. When I lived in Ireland I worked in big offices for years and numerous times tech/comms guys or whatever would be doing installation or maintenance work in the ceiling or elsewhere and they'd be virtually invisible to me. They could be working literally over my head installing this detcord and I'd be none the wiser.
