    I'll ask the question again

    The firefighters, chiefs and EMTs who described what they saw with their own eyes, are they lying according to you?

    I choose to infer that, since his only retort to your link to the NYT interviews of 503 people, was to link to AE911 who also holds up these interviews, and, he argues that these interviewees were correct in their statements, especially regarding explosive noises, then it would seem they are not lying according to him. So clearly skeptics and truthers here should be in complete agreement that there was a fire that ravaged the building through 12 to "nearly all" floors.

    This is factually untrue - or at best misleading.

    If you want to get right down to this: Harrit et al. only had 4 dust samples, and none of them were in fact harvested from the WTC. The closest of the 4 samples is from an apartment across the street from the WTC complex, and it was harvested 1 week after the collapse, and it was collected by an amateur citizen in a plastic bag by unspecified mechanical means (no mention of gloves, etc). Section 1 of their paper explains this in clear detail.

    Therfore the samples are 'WTC dust' not just "WTC 1 dust" or "WTC 2 dust"


    There is only 1 sample, that you could have even tried this argument with:
    "The earliest-collected sample came from Mr. Frank Delessio who, according to his videotaped testimony [17], was
    on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge about the time
    the second tower, the North Tower, fell to the ground. He
    saw the tower fall and was enveloped by the resulting thick
    dust which settled throughout the area. He swept a handful
    of the dust from a rail on the pedestrian walkway near the
    end of the bridge, about ten minutes after the fall of the
    North Tower. He then went to visit his friend, Mr. Tom
    Breidenbach, carrying the dust in his hand, and the two of
    them discussed the dust and decided to save it in a plastic
    bag. On 11/15/2007, Breidenbach sent a portion of this dust
    to Dr. Jones for analysis. Breidenbach has also recorded his
    testimony about the collection of this dust sample on videotape [17]. Thus, the Delessio/Breidenbach sample was collected about ten minutes after the second tower collapsed. It
    was, therefore, definitely not contaminated by the steelcutting or clean-up operations at Ground Zero, which began
    later. Furthermore, it is not mixed with dust from WTC 7,
    which fell hours later."

    But, scientifically it's a contaminated sample. He carried it around in his hands, and so skin any other particles his hands touched before or after as he traveled to have it shown off apparently. And then it sat in storage for 6 years.

    (still, no aluminum oxide in any of those samples)

    Why would they use 'something else' for WTC 1 and 2 than WTC 7? Why not WTC 5? Or 3 or 4 or 6?

    It not silent. You can even see the demolition went off at the bottom here on video (see all black smoke moving to the left of the picture) and camera just far away you can't hear, the loud rubble sound. NIST also took out some frames for some reason, when the Penthouse fell. NIST is a deception group and hiding whats happening. Start at 8.13 minutes.
    There's no explosion sound in this video. You only hear the sound of the building collapsing.

    According to you guys, 650 demolition charges just went off and took out all the steel supports on each of 8 floors.
    Yet, we can't hear any of them.

    That was why you guys invented the notion of thermite, to explain why there's no very obvious audio evidence.

    So again, no explosions, no explosives.
    No aluminium oxide, no thermite.

    Are you going to switch to space lasers like you have from thermite to explosives?

    Also, this video kinda also disproves the "symmetrical collapse" nonsense too.

    But why do AE911 keep referring to "explosions" during the day, what, some shadowy unknowns were slowly blowing up a burning building during the day?

    Why? it's on fire, job is done! Why is there always this extra absurd effort and risk setting off explosives and nano-thermites

    And truthers deliberately avoid talking about this, like they know how bad it is, which requires some astonishing level of dishonesty and delusion

    I think it's simply a product of conspiracy mongers looking for the most eye catching and attention getting factoids.

    The can fudge things to make it seem like there are explosions and a secret demolition by twisting things and throwing factoids out. On the face of it, it's convincing if you listen, but don't think about it critically.

    But on the other hand, they can't go too far if they want to pull in the widest audience. That's why ideas like holographic planes, space lasers and mini nukes are left on the fringes. The big players don't go near those ideas openly because most people would rightly dismiss them out of hand as cranks. Also, compared to the idea of normal demolition it's easier to find official and scientific things that can be twisted to suit the more grounded ideas.

    The other extreme isn't very marketable. The conspiracy mongers could easily reduce the conspiracy down to bare bones and it could be far more believable and reasonable.
    But if they did that, then the conspiracy theory wouldn't be as eye catching or sensational. It would be a lot of very dry youtube videos talking about arcane political connections and political history. And then it would be far more obviously speculative.
    Frankly, that kind of conspiracy would just be above the heads of the majority of the target audience the conspiracy mongers are aiming for.

    They are clever enough to keep their theories open so that they can pretend to be on the same side even when they have completely incompatible theories.

    This thread has gone the way of the others really hasn't it.
    Gish galloping, deliberate evasion of already debunked points, efforts to spam, dismissing scientific reports, whilst accepting single points that are directly contradictory, ignoring questions and responding with whataboutery, even a quite measured and deliberate attempt at martyrdom (again).

    Nonsensical arguments need to be called out and placed in the light.
    I do hope that anyone who stumbles across these threads, reads the entirety of those on here related to 9/11.

    That they see the quicksand foundations of a particular viewpoint, the mercurial nature of particular responses, the complete lack of honesty, the lack of scientific comprehension and where that leads.

    The efforts made by a small number of posters to counter and address the nonsense that is rinsed, slightly altered, then self-contraticted, then repeated.
    Should be appreciated for the effort it is.

    Letting this shíte stand in unchallenged is dangerous.
    The thing is, if actual compelling or indeed even contradictory real evidence was introduced, many of us on the skeptic side of this argument would do what skeptics do.

    Assess the evidence and reassess our positions.
    The rational and scientific method.

    Meh, you don't even need to be an expert. You just need rudimentary knowledge.
    Things like cheerful being unable to tell the difference between velocity and acceleration or Weisses claiming that the acceleration needed to "ramp up" to free fall come to mind.

    Nanothermites love fires:) You have not coped on to the fact too.
    There 84 columns in building seven- explosive on each column is still 84- not hundreds.

    Structural building Engineer would notice immediately this is not free fall, please go ahead show them this image on any site, and claim this is freefall caused by a fire. I bet the response is, they laugh at you.

    Image from the video i posted.
    514422.png

    At this time during the collapse the floors and columns are no longer there to provide resistance across the entire width of the building.

    In the NIST computer model the floors are crumbling and buckling and no freefall can occur in that scenario. Of course most people have never looked at their modelling to notice how flawed their building seven study really is.

    And the only way to do this, is to use high explosives. We know that there were no explosives. You don't believe there were explosives.

    Thermite can't do this. We also know that there was no thermite.

    So, we're left to find another explanation because it can't be controlled demolition.

    I think that explanation is that you, and other conspiracy theorists are just misunderstanding and misrepresenting things.

    The work is not flawless and they are limited by what they can do via computer simulation.

    As in the thread I showed, a collapse model was built for a controlled demolition with known variables. It still cut corners, made virtual assumptions, and had to bridge gaps between numerical methods and real world physics. The simulation took 29 days to compute. That was in 2011. NIST was working with less advanced computing several years removed and a fraction of the power. Subsequently the NIST simulation doesn’t look like a 1:1 recreation of the total collapse. But then, that fact is not surprising given the realities of simulation analysis.

    Problem is though they based their whole finding on a simulation not even close to resembling the actual event

    Yes the facade fell without impedance for about 2 and a quarter seconds. This is because the interior of the structure had already fallen apart.

    Well the interior is still inside providing resistance and then there is that inconvenient part that there are dozens of beams not affected by the hypothesis of complete interior collapse

    And the WTC did have fireproofing

    Which was rated for 2~3 hours depending on which fire proofing feature you want to call attention to.

    But the fires raged for about 7+ hours. And no firefighting happened. And the sprinkler systems were disabled.

    Plasco fire was 3.5 hours between outbreak and collapse. And they had firefighters actively trying to put it out. As you say, no fire proofing.

    That hypothesis would allow for a progressive partial collapse

    In wtc 7 fires were out on several floors before the collapse

    "After about 2.5 seconds of free fall, the slope deviates from a straight line, indicating resistance as the falling part of the building engages with the bottom section. 2.5 seconds of free fall corresponds to a distance of 30.6 m, or about 100 ft. At 12.5 ft per floor, that divides out to 8 stories of free fall."

    In other threads you argued this was not the case? Even got into some dizzying and error-filled semantics about acceleration and velocity and speed.

    If you look into that 10 minute video I provided you can see fort yourself how NIST was very creative with their timeline ..Chandler has a continues fall

    Again, the only way to have the building drop at free fall for those 8 floors is to instantaneously remove the supports on all 8 of those floors all at once.

    The only way to do that is to use high explosives on every support on all of those floors. Thermite, nano- or otherwise, is not able to do the same kinda of instant cutting.

    That's 81 supports for 8 floors.
    So in all that's at least 648 explosive charges for the vertical components.

    We don't hear any of these 648 explosions on any video.

    So we know there was no high explosive demolition charges. And since those demolition charges were the only way a controlled demolition leading to free fall could happen, we can exclude that as a possibility.

    So there must be another explanation.

    There are no debunkers in the equation.

    From their testimony many firefighters witnessed and described how serious the fires were in building 7 were and how close it was to collapse in the end. However since that threatens your conspiracy beliefs, you're attempting to discredit all that testimony by drawing attention to the fact that a handful of firefighters were mistaken in identifying hot/molten metals

    Why stoop to such a level when you are trying to portray yourself as objective?

    You have no interest in knowing the real truth. Accepted the Bush/ Neocon base proclamations for 19 years and totally ignore this base never told a truth when they held power for eight years. You think it impossible it could be anything else and ignore this same leadership there on 9/11 lied about the Iraq war, supported torture, and secretly kidnapped people, from their homes at night and brought them to secret prisons in Europe to be tortured and some were murdered there. You have accepted the Bush war on terror nonsense and believe it impossible 9/11 was a false flag.

    Further no imperialist agenda in the middle east occurred?. Even though 5 years before the neocons wrote a white paper saying they needed a new Pearl harbour event to achieve their military aims in the Middle East. You ignore the NIST study was funded by the Bush administration and they were politically pressured to avoid finding anything that would cripple them and bring the whole house of cards down. With 9/11 people seem to have amnesia and forget multiple drills took place that day effectively shut down its ability to response to hijackings. This is another thing private rogue group would do so nobody would stop the planes from hitting the buildings on 9/11.

You think it impossible it could be anything else and ignore this same leadership there on 9/11 lied about the Iraq war, supported torture, and secretly kidnapped people, from their homes at night and brought them to secret prisons in Europe to be tortured and some were murdered there. You have accepted the Bush war on terror nonsense and believe it impossible 9/11 was a false flag.

    So because we don't believe that there was magic nanothermite in the towers and it wasn't a silly, elaborate inside job, we all must therefore be Bush supporters?

    Lol, Ok...


    None of the rest of your rant has much to do with freefall or any of the points raised.
    I guess that's another aspect of the conspiracy theory you can't actually support.

    I do

    However if by "real truth" you mean a conspiracy, then yes, I would also like to know, which is why I created a thread asking for it (I remain deeply skeptical since nothing remotely plausible has so far been suggested)

    Not brainwashed. Bush war on terror scared the media and everyone to look further into the crimes committed that day. The left even jumped on board to support this fake war. Even came out before the Iraq War that Bush proposed a false flag to Blair involved painting a US plane with UN colors to be shoot at over Iraq. Most sane people would look at this evidence of an administration out of control. Bush administration is the fourth reich dressed in business suits.

    What you mean how? The set up was not stopping the hijackers from boarding the planes on 9/11.

    No hijackings and planes taken and hitting buildings, no demolition can be used. It look mighty strange if buildings just collapsed down with no terrorist event :)

    This rogue private network was almost exposed under Obama Watch.
    Farouk was so indiscreet that his father reported him to the U.S. Embassy as a potential terrorist in November. A month later, he managed to get on a jumbo jet headed for Detroit to complete a terror mission. Despite his training in engineering at the prestigious London School of Economics, Farouk failed in his mission. He couldn't mix his explosives to achieve the desired effect.

    On January 4, 2010, Keith Olbermann ran a segment on Countdown that featured our curious terrorist and the apparatus that somehow missed him despite his concerned father's pleadings. After the setup, current insider in chief and apparent White House spokesman, Richard Wolffe emerged. He provided some remarkable information from inside the White House deliberations.

    "It's clear the president is still deeply concerned and troubled and even angry at the intelligence lapses. They see this more as an intelligence lapse more than a situation of airport security faults. Why didn't the centralized system of intelligence after 911, why didn't it work." Richard Wolffe, January 4

    Wolffe then asked and answered this question:

    "Is this conspiracy or cock up?"

    "It seems that the president is leaning very much toward this as a systemic failure by individuals who maybe had an alternative agenda." Wolffe

    "An alternative agenda"-- what could that mean?

    Olbermann was like a dog on point with this question.

    "... you suggested in there that the administration is looking into perhaps mixed motives or misplaced priorities. ... Are people thought to have been deliberately withholding information so the dots cant' be connected?" Keith Olbermann

    Of course the coverup later was it was a cock up, then a conspiracy. We could have rolled up the entire network in the shadows who were involved in allowing terrorists to get through and continue the war on terror.

    Excellent Journalism again, absent on other medias sites.

    News articles pre 9/11 in the link. You see the Bush administration had plenty of info the attacks were coming and did nothing. The CIA knew two years before high ranking Al Qaeda/ Saudi and Pakistan terrorists had arrived in the United States. Why was the CIA silent about what they knew? The official media weak to explore this.

    We have potential plotters and the names and faces should have been on every news channel, the month before 9/11.

    Why you skeptical Robver outlined why it not possible to have freefall during a natural collapse.

    Do you not understand his post?

    Stick to this and outline your objections. Robver post.
    Sir,
    You claim "I have never seen a explain how the presence of free fall indicates a conspiracy or a controlled demolition."
    OK, one's not a "conspiracy theorist" or a "truther", but one doesn't like lies, and in one's discipline of superintending the forensic reporting of marine structural failures, one has always preferred to follow the evidence.
    So here is your explanation, and in layman's terms for someone self-evidently quite unburdened by any real understanding of even basic physics, or structures. Please feel free to ask questions at the end.
    Pure gravitational acceleration (PGA or free-fall) can only occur when a falling body is imparting none whatsoever of its kinetic energy to any other body. When that occurs in the collapse of a structure, even for a second or so, it is positively irrefutable evidence that the falling element of the structure was unaffected by any upward resistance for that entire period of time.
    Today, as far as one knows, the only known technique of instantaneously removing all, or even part of the upward resistance in any syndetic static steel structure involves the pre-planned application of explosive cutting charges.
    Therefore, when the upper element of any honestly syndetic structure ( ie. one with all structural components connected appropriately.) attains pure gravitational acceleration, even for a short period ( and, by the way, over 2 seconds is NOT considered a short period in the way of these things!) that event alone effectively 'proves' that the supporting structure must have been entirely absent for the full period of the PGA and, therefore, one must presume that some technique was employed to instantaneously remove that entire substructure. As the only technique known to most of us is the use of H.E cutting charges, then the irrefutable evidence of PGA would seem to point very strongly indeed to demolition as the most likely scenario.
    Q.E.D.
    One thing is self-evidently certain, and that is that the WTC7 collapse could not simply have been 'natural', as it is quite impossible for any "natural vertical collapse", however initiated, to attain PGA due to the energy that is required to expend in overcoming the upward resistance of the remaining lower structural elements.
    Newton's 3 laws have, so far, proven quite irrefutable, and would seem to be an increasingly pesky nuisance to all those non-engineers so naively trying to explain free-fall in the collapse of WTC7.

    And all this was almost immediately leaked and known. The warnings they received, lying about WMDs, Iraq, kidnappings, torture etc. All happened. We knew about it very quickly. Whistleblowers all over the place. Same as Vietnam, Iran Contra affair etc. Washington is the leakiest city on earth.

    Yet a huge conspiracy with x amount of people involved (hundreds or thousands) across x amount of industries and state bodies and countries and...19 years later, not one single leak or credible piece of information.

    Also notice how he's throwing out more and more tangents rather than actually stick to the topic of the thread...

    There a political influence that everyone listened to at the time because the country got attacked. All opposition voices were unheard. I don't believe it required thousands to pull off the demolition job. About 20 to 30 or less people could have done it and kept it classified and hidden even today.

    90 percent of the event happened as you saw on TV- there just 10 percent of the background stuff that's hidden from the public and sealed.

    Do you understand the difference between you rationalising something in your head, and something happening in reality?

    Do you understand they are completely separate..

    But his theory contradicts yours.
    He is saying that it wasn't nanothermite. You believe he is wrong.

    Likewise, he probably thinks you are wrong as nanothermite cannot do what he says is necessary to produce a free fall collapse of any length.

    Thermite of any kind cannot instantly cut anything. That's not how it works.

    We also know than neither explanation is true.
    Nanothermite has been shown to be impossible in a previous thread.
    High explosives aren't possible because we simply don't hear the 650+ charges going off right before the collapse of the building.

    So again, the explanation must be something else.

    Freefall is observable evidence

    It not made up theory there is a controlled demolition, the engineering findings support that conclusion.

    A major attempt to hide the freefall implications we have already shown you. It went from being a myth in Aug 2008 to something real and possible in the space of three months
    When you look at their models there no freefall in the final stages of the collapse, this is hard physical evidence, NIST covered up later.
