    But I did answer the question, quite directly.
    Then pointed out the issue I still have with the point.

    But then on the other hand you've just totally ignored a whole post of questions...

    So how about you actually address the points I've been trying to get you to address for the last 3 pages before I go digging up stuff on a totally different topic?

    Different topic ?? Was it not in the op movie ??

    You know my view on the matter regarding wtc7 i do not accept the nist report ... Do i need to be an expert to dismiss that ?

    I will try to post wtc7 related things in the proper thread

    Now ..point out to me wich parts of OP movie you think are a lie
    And still there are those secret parts in the nist report .. so instead of being an expert on burning overpasses this would be something to investigate further ... agree ?

    I try to stay away from the ct against nist bashing just because i'm trying to get my own head around the whole thing ... not with much succes i must say

    Yes, and we've been discussing several points stemming from that.
    Several points which you are now ignoring.
    So if you want me to address this new point, at least do me basic courtesy and address the points I've already brought up.

    But your view is based entirely on misunderstandings of the evidence, incomplete evidence and the opinion of "experts" who I've shown are telling you untrue things.
    And then when I've asked you three times specifically to point out were the NIST reports simulation is wrong, you've ignored the question.

    So yea, if your not looking to start questioning your beliefs, I'd stay away from that topic too....

    I did try anwser the questions i had an anwser too i think

    Soo your stance is now you didn't look into my questions the way i want them anwsered so now i just ignore a difficult question myself ?

    The evidence has nothing to do with my view because i don't see it as evidence

    About the simulation i said that it was a nice one but simulations are not evidence imo because its fabricated

    My only problem is whith the way wtc 7 fell ... Im very openminded about everything but not impressed by the way you try to ram your evidence down my throat

    No it's more like I'm not going to go on a tangent until you actually address the points I put forward.

    That's still not answering my point. I've explained this several times.
    I'm not using it as evidence. It's an example of how the building could have collapse. (this example being the one actually supported by the facts and observations)
    And I'm asking you to point out which bits of the simulation are wrong, impossible or inconsistant with the facts.
    And I'm am also asking you whether or not you understand how it is showing that the building can collapse without all of the supports failing at once.

    These are not hard questions.

    Since you are open minded, what evidence would you accept that could convince you that the building did fall due to fires?

    Please point out the ones i didn't

    You must be curious as well that that holy NIST report is not complete (maybe) and your basing all your believes on the wrong evidence, I will even try to help you out with that because it will anwser my question at the same time

    Are these the nist facts in the simulation if so ...i already said that the whole nist report means nothing to me

    evidence theories bring em on but not the office furniture thing again please

    But your reasoning doesn't really hold up and kinda shows that you've no issue using sources that aren't being fully honest.
    The reason I'm asking you is I'm asking for your opinion.
    Why do you think he left out the footage from a "compilation of collapse footage?"
    Do you think that it was honest to do so?

    Do you really buy that nonsense for a second?

    And these are just the separate ones form the last page or so. It doesn't include the points I've repeated.
    Several of them you simply ignored entirely.

    Well I'm not especially curious because given the lies and distortions already present in the film, I very much doubt there's much to this point.
    I'm far more interested in the points I've already brought up and have been trying to get you to actually think about for the last few pages.

    If you really want me to tackle this new tangent, stop ignoring the the questions you've already left dangling.

    Again you didn't address the question. Whether or not you trust the NIST is irrelevant to the question. It's repeated above so please this time actually read what I have posted and answer the point I am actually making.

    And we can add another unanswered question to the list.

    I'm asking you for specific evidence or arguments you'd accept, which shouldn't be an issue if you're really open minded.
    Cause I've already provided you with solid, well supported theories, which you simply ignore for no good reason.

    No its a nice simulation well made cant see anything wrong with the way they wanted to go couldn't have done it better myself

    Are you still not over the building collapsing thing .. explaint to you what was relevant to me in that clip a couple of times the rest is for the maker of that clip

    The penthouse collapsing was part of the colapse it says it in the word penthouse collapse

    And Im not ignoring you just to piss you off some points i cant anwser and you know that but somehow you find joy in putting people in the corner with your line of questions

    And you are always asking questions but refuse to debate things outside the nist report ohh yeah space lasers sorry

    So since it's consistent with the observed facts and physics and can't show where it's wrong or fabricated, why do you reject it?
    Simply not like were it comes from or not liking it's conclusion are not valid reasons.

    I just find it funny that when it's in support of the conspiracy theory, it's ok to leave out stuff like half of the building collapse. But for the official side the suggestion that they are holding back some documents (regardless of which ones and what they say) is a grave concern for you.

    The reason I'm trying to get you in a corner is because then it's the only way to get you to question what you're being fed by conspiracy theorists.
    The reason you are being cornered is because your position is not well reasoned or based on solid facts.

    I'm not refusing to debating anything. I'm trying to keep the debate focused.
    You are the one dodging and ignoring questions because they are too hard to answer.

    Im trying to make up my own mind as much as i can

    But you have the ct guys on 1 side

    And the likes of you on the other

    every theory is labelled ct stuff the moment it hits the web

    every person trying to work against the goverment spin is labelled a ct nut

    Do you really think the government would come out and say ohh yeah we have a load of other points in the report that we are not publishing for public safety?

    So its pointed out by a group that makes a video and you reject it because its made public by CT fanatics or whatever you call them

    Nice way to avoid tricky questions ..you learn fast from the CT side

    Now hold up a second, where are you getting the idea that the documents being withheld contain points they wish to cover up?
    I've asked you you explain what was being withheld, but that got lost in the flurry of other questions and points your are still ignoring.

    Yea, you do learn how to avoid uncomfortable questions from the CT side.
    Unfortunately it's not an honest way to argue a point.
    Now could you at least explain why you're avoiding the points from my last post. It's clear now that you aren't going to answer the very simple questions.

    I am making up my own mind im not believing everything the CT side says ..stop assuming i do

    So your not on the opposite side of the CT group ? thats new to me

    I am not saying you do but it is the general trend .. it happens both ways

    I am not saying they cover it up they just didn't release them is what is said in the video true or false i don't know

    You asked me what was beying witheld... how would i know I asked you about that part but you still refuses to anwser it and come back with a question that again i can't anwser

    i will try to adress the other questions when I'm home

    Just to point out from a structural point of view:

    Let's say a Column needs to carry 100kN Dead Load (weight of the building) and 100kN Imposed Load (weight of stuff in the building), and is fixed at the top in 4 directions (eg. a beam is fixed to all 4 sides of the column).

    In the design of the column (by todays standards anyway), it will be designed to carry 140kN Dead Load and 160kN Imposed Load (Factors of Safety). Now, if one column fails/collapses, the load it is designed to take is then transferred to other nearby steel members. Not only that, but the beams and columns nearby are then being pulled in another direction which they weren't designed to be (eg a beam fixed on all 4 sides to a column. If one is removed or being pulled away, the column is then being pushed in one direction, thereby losing some of its strength)

    Once one column goes, its loading is passed to nearby members. If they fail, their load is transferred to nearby members etc. Eventually, they just can't carry that loading or resist those directional forces, which means they'll fail almost instantly.

    So it isn't a case of all the columns failing at the same time. Some internal ones failed (not visible from outside) and as their loading was passed on and on, by the time it reached the outer columns and structure, they couldn't carry the loading/forces and so would have failed instantly.

    Well put barrington, a progressive collapse is essentially what brought the building down. In the Nist report it also mentions that thermal expansion of the floor beams was also a critical factor in the collapse of the building.

    And now watching later segments they make lots of appeals to authority and

    Which is both misleading and factually wrong.

    They keep showing photos that supposedly show the fires not being as bad as claimed.
    So how come they didn't show this photo?:
    WTC7_Smoke.jpg

    And the biggie: Gage claims the building fell in 7 seconds.
    This is totally false.

    And all these "experts" keeping making claims that simply aren't true.

    And now referring to the long debunked, thoroughly dishonest "paper" that claims to have found thermite.

    This video is a hodge podge of lies, half-truths, distortions, misrepresentions, logical fallacies and plain old nonsense.
    I gave up after 10 minutes the dishonesty was coming too fast and thick for me to stomach.


    Those darn lying architects and engineers, they are known for lying and they have so much to gain. Sneakies !! I'll never either of the said again !!!! AGAIN I TELLS YA !!!

    quote
    NIST advances a theory that the entire "collapse" was caused by a beam disconnecting itself from its column supports through thermal expansion -- a behavior that is the opposite of that exhibited by actual building fires and building fire simulations, in which severely heated beams sag downward and stay connected, rather than remaining rigid and breaking their connections.

    does that make any sense ?

    If you really were making up your own mind, I;m sure you could point out a few things claimed in the film which you think aren't true and can explain why you think so.

    A cheap trick which you fell for hook, line and sinker.

    And then at the same time ignore the fact they themselves are withholding half of the collapse they are basing their claim on.

    Surely you can see your double standards at play here?

    Sources for any of this?
    Who says this is the opposite behaviour?
    Who says this cannot lead to a collapse?
    What is their information they are using to base these claims on?

    I know you don't believe it because you already admitted that fire can bring down the building.

    If architects and engineers don't lie, why does Richard Gage in the video claim WTC7 falls in 7 seconds when it clearly does not?

    I know you don't believe it because you already admitted that fire can bring down the building.

    1: Yes you are assuming ...(do you actually read what i post or do you only pick stuff out to corner me with?)
    I asked you the question to point out in the video which parts you did believe .... seems i am not the only one with difficulty in answering a question

    2: So instead of me labelling you actually are on the other side ... just would have been easier if you said that straight away

    3:My point ? is that you cant be in the middle in this discussion (open minded

    4:I don't know what they didn't release because they didn't release it ( sighh)
    Again assumptions
    I asked YOU the question what you thought of it and still (surprise surprise) no answer besides the ct bashing

    5:Maybe ...just maybe they did and were refused (public safety reason) so again your assuming things and labeling people without knowing the facts (wasn't that what you hated yourself when dealing with all that ct stuff)

    So lets get this straight ... Me asking you a question ... you cannot or will not answer and then in the blink of an eye i fell hook line and sinker for the question i asked you ... your good KM
    I never said that i support all that what is in that video (please point out were i do that) again assumptions
    And you blame me for not seeing the Irony ... ohh the irony

    6:Again assumptions and arrogance added now
    We were talking on two threads about the same thing so yes maybe i missed a few questions but also some of the questions i simply cannot answer because i don't have the knowledge to do that
    Do you really think that when i had the proof that would take down a 10000 pages 200000 man hour NIST report i would be discussing it with you on this forum ?

    I have questions and I'm not buying the whole NIST version and I'm not Buying the whole CT spin

    7:It was on a CT site i cant find now (its on the laptop)
    Again see my open approach to this

    I find something that maybe is true maybe it isn't i don't have that knowledge hence my question "DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE

    Instead of an answer i get .wait for it......... 4 questions back

    See KM that is the way you try to get rid of people .. Why are you on this forum anyway because all you seem to do is spit assumptions from behind your 10000 pages NIST report and everything that is not "truth" or "evidence" you just sweep aside and when people have a difficult question you just ask a couple of questions back to them ..maybe they get confused ... maybe they give the wrong answer so you can ask 3 more questions on that wrong answer ..

    Ohh and yes i believe fire could have destroyed wtc7 but not in the way it burnt that day.

    I would say that the two things aren't mutually exclusive. The only way the beam can sag is if it is being weakened by the fire. But to sag, it also needs to be thermally expanding.

    In my opinion, a lot of it has to do with where the fire was acting. If the beam was thermally expanding, it would probably just sag. If the column was thermally expanding, it would probably effect the connections to the beams more as the column would be a much more rigid member (held in place at more points and carrying a greater load)

    so the part 0:35 is not really Representative with the way things went inside wtc7?

    and the part starting at 2:34 would that be representing what happened inside wtc7?

    Good question. It all depends on the loading to be honest. I suppose I was thinking of it purely just in terms of the actual steel frame itself. If the beam were to sag, the loading could essentially then start to pull the beam down and put more stress on the (already thermally affected) connection because the fire has created a weak point in the steel. Rather than the loading acting across the beam (Universally Distributed Load) it would begin to act towards where the sag is (Point Load), causing greater stress.

    Either that, or if the beam sagged in the middle and the floor construction remained rigid and in place, the loading would have been sitting on the ends of the beams where the connection is, causing two Point Loads beside the connections. I don't know enough about the floor construction to properly give an opinion one way or another though.

    There are no parts I agree with in the videos.
    They are filled with lies, and what aren't lies are twisted and distorted.

    I would have thought this was clear.

    I asked YOU the question what you thought of it and still (surprise surprise) no answer besides the ct bashing

    5:Maybe ...just maybe they did and were refused (public safety reason) so again your assuming things and labeling people without knowing the facts (wasn't that what you hated yourself when dealing with all that ct stuff)
    And I explained why the point doesn't bug me (and why I wasn't addressing it yet.)
    If you actually know what files were being held back and why they are important, why not just tell me?
    But you can't because the video doesn't tell you. They just use the fact that the NIST held files back to make it sound like they were withholding important evidence.
    If these files were important the video would have explained what they were and why they proved the NIST report was a fraud.
    But it doesn't.

    So if you want to actually discuss this point either address the standing points first or point out what files were being withheld and explain why they were important.
    Otherwise it look exactly like you're using this point to distract form ones you don't want to address.

    We were talking on two threads about the same thing so yes maybe i missed a few questions but also some of the questions i simply cannot answer because i don't have the knowledge to do that
    Do you really think that when i had the proof that would take down a 10000 pages 200000 man hour NIST report i would be discussing it with you on this forum ?
    Now you see, I'm not asking you for proof. I'm asking you for the eevidence or basis you are building your conclusions on.
    If you can't answer questions like that, say so.
    And if you can't answer questions like that, maybe you should wonder why you have conclusions with no foundation.

    Instead of an answer i get .wait for it......... 4 questions back
    It's called the Socratic method. I ask you the questions so you would ask them yourself and realise by yourself why the point or claim is wrong, rather than me simply stating that.
    And sometimes I need more information before I can address a point.

    Ohh and yes i believe fire could have destroyed wtc7 but not in the way it burnt that day.
    Great so please explain why it could not have collapsed in the way it burnt and (this is the important bit) explain how you know the way it burnt.

    This isn't a trick question and if you can't answer it, say so.

    1:Point taken

    2: you think that whole video is lies ...fine no point in discussing the so called witheld files

    3:Im not hiding behind that report ..Im here in the open questioning things forming opinions changing my mind maybe .... and there is you

    4:the simulation .... look up why ...i anwsered that
    The overpass clip the melting beam clip in the context of that video
    Discussing that with barrington also maybe a reply there would be nice

    5:allright .... one more time
    that video showing the building engulfed in flames for 20 hours and the next day it still was standing up .... maybe if wtc 7 was burning like that completely engulfed in fire (like a torch) i would believe the theory that burning office fire was the cause for the collapse ...maybe

    And I never said that the video was lying about the files, just distorting the facts to make them sound more sinister than they are.

    The fact you can't even say what those files are, who asked for them and when should tell you that you are missing the context. And the fact that the video is leaving that stuff out should tell you they are being dishonest.

    I don't know why you are falling for such an obvious and cheap trick.

    But the building you are referring to is not the same construction as WTC7 and was not subject to the same circumstances.
    Just like you are arguing with the overpass.

    You can't have it both ways I'm afraid. Either you can use examples of different construction to show how WTC7 should have collapse, in which case you'd have to accept the overpass collapsing, or you can't use such examples and your point is moot.
    so which is it?

    Its that video with that magnificant simulation you are using to make your point remember

    You seem to have misunderstood my point.
    I'll try to explain without asking you hard questions.

    You can either believe:
    1) Buildings and structures of different designs to WTC7 can be used to judge how it would behave.
    Which is what you seem to believe as you are using an example for a building with a different design to show that WTC7 could not have collapsed.
    (despite agreeing that it could and the official story is plausible and consistent with the facts.)
    However this runs into the problem that there are other buildings and structures that are different to WTC7 which have collapsed to fire, an example of which is the overpass which you are determined to ignore.

    2) On the other hand you have the idea that buildings and structures that are different to WTC7 cannot be used to determine how it would fall. Which you are using to explain away the overpass.
    But then this runs into the problem that you cannot then use your example to show that the building would not have collapsed.

    So you are holding conflicting beliefs.
    So you can either come up with some silly mental gymnastics to explain this, or you can admit that you have no solid basis for your objection to the NIST report.
    I look forward to which you pick.

    Well that's cute and all, but fails to address to point I was making.

    If architects and engineers don't lie, why does Richard Gage in the video claim WTC7 falls in 7 seconds when it clearly does not?

    You know I've been asking this off and on for several years. Literally half and hour on the internet will show the claims Gage and his ilk are making to be false. When you watch the full collapse of WTC7 you can clearly see the internal structure falling before the outside facade of the building follows.

    I can't figure out if he's a liar or deluded... maybe he's making money from this. Either way you don't need to be an architect or engineer to see he's wrong.

    So you are saying that the video of that engulfed building

    and the 2 points in this
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFJa9WUy5QI

    0:35 and 2:35 are not usuable in the wtc 7 discussion ?

    simple yes or no will do

    we take it from there then

    And you're avoiding the question again.

    Yes, I do think they are usable in this discussion as they make the point that steel structures can fail due to fire. However those examples cannot be used to show that all steel structures always will fail.
    (No one here or the maker of the video is claiming that.)

    Now do you believe those examples can be used?
    If not, why not?
    If so, then why do you use your example as if there's no examples that show the opposite?

    And in all the years of looking into conspiracy theories I've never had a believer even acknowledge this plainly obvious fact. Especially the fact he gets the time of the collapse totally wrong.
    The nearest I've gotten was making someone quit in a strop rather than address it.
    Normally it's just ignored entirely.

    And of course when I do point this out and it's far to obvious to deny, people become oddly reserved and can't seem to form any opinion as to why he might be wrong.
