The NIST version about WTC7 is impossible. Therefore, all the towers were loaded.

There you go. And in a couple of sentences too. That is why this thread is pointless and your arguments ridiculous.

bgamall4 says

No, it is impossible for a steel reinforced building to be taken down by fire. You cannot find one example because it never happens. That is why the owner said they pulled it. Are you guys for real? Grigsby, you are stuck in a muck.

Blah, blah, blah. Because it hadn't happened before until the WTC's particular circumstances doesn't make it impossible. It's an idiotic argument. Early human civilization built houses. For a few years no houses burnt down. Then a house burnt down. According to you, that's impossible because it had never happened before. Can you not see how stupid your argument is?

bgamall4 says

And only Ronald Reagan can say there you go. You have not earned the right with your feeble attempts to even say that.

Are you purposefully being moronic or does it just come naturally to you?

bgamall4 says

Homeboy says

Did you forget to show the part where 767s full of fuel hit the buildings and took out vital structural elements as well as immediately destroying the fireproofing?

Looks like that China fire took out everything. Including all fireproofing.

"Looks like"? What on earth are you talking about? That's really cool that you have X-ray vision so you can see fireproofing INSIDE a building by looking at the outside. The fire "took out everything"? It took out steel structural supports just like the planes did to the twin towers? I thought you said fire couldn't destroy steel. I don't think the voices in your head are agreeing with each other. You are just babbling nonsense now.

And I am arguing about WTC7, a classical steel building just like those examples. But if you accept that WTC7 was pulled, you have to accept that they all were pulled.

It was not "just like those examples". WTC7 had unusually long floor spans - up to 54 ft. long. Different design - you are comparing apples and oranges.

What's more, you are claiming that WTC7 was brought down by explosions, yet there is footage of the event, with audio, where no explosions can be heard. Therefore, what you are claiming did not happen.

You seem to believe that if EVERY tall building that catches fire doesn't fall down, then it can never happen. This is specious reasoning. It's tantamount to saying if anyone can survive a gunshot wound, then it's impossible to die from a gunshot wound, which is obviously false. You showed 3 buildings that had fires (under completely different circumstances) and didn't fall down. The 3 WTC buildings did fall down. You seem to believe this is impossible, but you are unable to provide any reason for it being impossible.

That sends chills down your spine, Homeboy.

No, but your creepy conspiracy mentality kind of does.

Homeboy says

Don't be silly Homeboy. It was a new type of explosive. Silent.

Bigsby says

Don't be silly Homeboy. It was a new type of explosive. Silent.

It's all here in this detailed proof of the conspiracy:

Squatting in East CoCo says

First you must understand that there is a semi-secret super elite group of people that run our incompetent government; that run all of the worlds governments

That's just not true. It's the same time traveling aliens that planted the stories of Obama's birth that run our incompetent government. I saw a video that proves it.

Bigsby says

You aren't interested in a discussion. You simply want to post up banal Youtube videos and pretend that they are proof of your conspiracy theory

You're just catching on to this after 578 comments? For shame, you seemed so much brighter than that.

That's fair. I do it while waiting for everyone else in the family to wake up.

bgamall4 says

No, he said they were going to pull the BUILDING. You are deceived aren't you? Are you NIST Grigsby?

Why would he admit that on film? I've asked at least 4 times, and you can't answer this simple question.

bgamall4 says

No, he said they were going to pull the BUILDING. You are deceived aren't you? Are you NIST Grigsby?

Strange then that he never actually said that. And here is the full quote:

"I remember getting a call from the Fire Department commander, telling me they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, you know, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is just pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse."

The background to that quote is a discussion about the state of the fire and avoiding further loss of life. In no way, shape or form, except in a conspirator's warped perception, does that translate as an order to blow up the building. Perhaps you could explain why you think he would give that order to the fire department commander rather than one of the people who supposedly planted the explosives. Or are you now saying that it was the fire department commander who was in charge of the demolition? Utterly ridiculous. Rather like your arguments.
And you STILL haven't answered the questions you were asked.

He sounds like a good wife.
Will he be replacing the dog in your avatar??

robertoaribas says

and he looks great. But he can't think. I work out with him

bgamall4 says

Homeboy says

Why would he admit that on film?

What difference does it make why he said it. It fits perfectly with what actually happened to the building. The NIST waited months to put out the report, and ignored the squibs. They are liars.

"What difference does it make?" That's your answer? Seriously?

It makes ALL the difference. If Silverstein were part of a secret conspiracy to detonate 3 buildings and make it look like a terrorist attack, he would not admit this on camera and then later say it wasn't true. That doesn't make any sense.

I'm almost at a loss for words here. Do you not realize that "secret" and "admitted on camera" are mutually exclusive things? You seem to be perfectly happy to dismiss this obvious fact when doing so "fits" with your conspiracy theory.

If they were going to admit they blew up the buildings, then there would be no reason to pretend that terrorists did it, therefore no reason to fly planes into the buildings. Your scenario doesn't make any sense; therefore it could not have happened. This is called logic.

Please, try to use your brain just a tiny bit. You believe in nonsensical things, and the fact that they are nonsensical doesn't seem to faze you in the least. This is troublesome.

bgamall4 says

Homeboy says

WTC7 had unusually long floor spans - up to 54 ft. long. Different design - you are comparing apples and oranges.

So you are saying that three of the worst structured engineered buildings in the history of mankind were built all in the same place. The odds of that are near zero.

I said no such thing, and your proclamation of the "odds" of events are wholly without foundation. Do you understand that calculating odds is a mathematical process, not just something that you make up?

They were not the "worst" engineered buildings. Instead of having tightly spaced steel girders in a grid, necessitating small rooms, they were designed to be able to have larger rooms. The engineers obviously didn't anticipate the exact series of events that would happen on 9/11. I did see an interview with the WTC designer, and he seemed quite genuinely distraught that his building had failed in the way that it did.

But clearly the WTC was a different type of design from earlier high-rises, and to pretend this is not true is to be in denial.

Here is a picture of the Empire State Building being constructed. Do you see the tightly spaced steel columns throughout the building?

Now here is the WTC being constructed. Do you see the central core, and then the relatively large expanse without any vertical support that extends to the perimeter facade?

♫ One of these things is not like the other.... ♫

I don't know why I'm bothering. You obviously aren't about to listen to reason.

bgamall4 says

That is bogus science. I am talking about WTC7 which was a normal steel constructed building. If it had explosives, and it did, the others had explosives too, regardless of your arguments. Squibs were observed in them. If WTC7 was pulled, and it was, you can argue until the cows come home and know that if the NIST lied about that building the whole thing is a lie.

You like videos. Where's the video that shows the necessary controlled explosions to bring down a very large building and the accompanying loud noises that said explosions make? And no, a video of a couple of puffs of smoke does not show a controlled explosion.

And guess what? I think you might know what's coming.. you STILL haven't answered those earlier, very relevant, questions.

bgamall4 says

Homeboy says

He would say it wasn't true if he was trying to cover up the truth. You think backwards.

You are dense as molasses.

Yes, he would say it wasn't true if he were trying to cover up the truth, but...

HE WOULDN'T ADMIT ON CAMERA THAT HE WAS PART OF A SECRET CONSPIRACY, DUMBASS!!!!!

That is bogus science.

Well you're certainly the expert on that, LOL. It's a picture. Are you saying you do not see the difference in construction between the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center? And I thought you liked looking at pictures.

I am talking about WTC7 which was a normal steel constructed building. If it had explosives, and it did, the others had explosives too, regardless of your arguments. Squibs were observed in them. If WTC7 was pulled, and it was, you can argue until the cows come home and know that if the NIST lied about that building the whole thing is a lie.

WTC7 also had unusually long floor spans, which is part of why it failed. I told you that already. Try to keep up, o.k.?

There were no squibs. The squibs are only in your mind.

Are those videos supposed to be a joke bgamal? How does that show a controlled demolition? They're proof of the exact opposite. That first video shows a couple of very small explosions on different levels (one of which appears to happen twice at about the same spot). How on God's green Earth is that supposed to be like a controlled demolition? Are you saying that things don't explode when a building is on fire? Really? You must be on a wind up posting this stuff.

That was amazing. Washington's blog is the most confused thinking I've ever seen from someone who wasn't committed to a mental institution. Talk about going around in circles. I can see why a conspiracy believer is so enchanted. I believe it to be true, I believe it to be true, I believe it to be true. I think I will click my heels three times and return to kansas now.

bgamall4 says

This shows the sounds of the explosions:

Oh my god. That video is the funniest thing I've ever seen. You seriously have to be delusional if you think that sounds like a controlled demolition. This moron on the voiceover is pointing out a low rumble, as though that is the sound of explosive charges being detonated. The low rumble is the fucking building falling down. Oh, and he claims the microphone was "set to pick up human voices". Yes, everyone knows mics have a special button on them that blocks out the sound of deafeningly loud explosions. ROFL. I knew these truthers were reaching, but this one takes the cake. Thanks for providing such great entertainment for us.

And of course the video is full of the usual truther lies. At the beginning, he says the lack of sufficiently loud sounds is the "sole rationale" for NIST rejecting the controlled demo hypothesis. That's just a blatant falsehood. The NIST Q&A gives many reasons why a controlled demo could not have taken place. Did this guy even read it? It seems unlikely.

Keep up the good work, truthers! You just make yourselves look more and more ridiculous.

bgamall4 says

Homeboy says

He would if he is as dense as you are, Dumbass

Ah, right. The perpetrators of 9/11 were at the same time both the smartest people in the world, to pull off this unbelievably complex scheme, and the dumbest people in the world, to give away their plan to the world. That's quite a trick, to be unbelievably brilliant and stupid as hell at the same time.

Oooh, you sure got me with that zinger. I'm crying.

Great job from squatting in east coco. You finally discovered the 911truth website everyone has been talking about. Even better you have learned how copy and paste works. Kudo's for keeping up with the discussion and technology.

So 1700 alleged architects and engineers have signed a petition saying the wtc was destroyed by controlled demolition. That's at least .1% (probably more like .01%). The other 99.9% either don't believe it or don't care. Curiosity overwhelms me, by what system of logic do the truthers arrive at the conclusion that the .1% must be correct and everyone else is wrong? I could probably find .1% of any large group of people willing to sign a petition that says the moon is made of blue cheese.

I am still not convinced that there are time traveling aliens, but I am willing to be persuaded if you could provide better evidence.

But I posted a video about aliens, that should be all the evidence anyone would need. You mean the content of the video has to be relevant? When did that rule start on this post?

Don't worry Squatting, I understand just fine. And your students have my sympathy. Oh, and by the way, you need to reread your initial contradiction post. There is no contradiction.

Gary Anderson strategicdefaultbooks.com

Care to answer the questions now or do you just want to stick to relying on a few fellow kooks to make you feel better about your outlandish views?

Squatting in East CoCo says

Can you see the contradiction between:

"The heat from the uncontrolled fires caused steel floor beams and girders to thermally expand, leading to a chain of events that caused a key structural column to fail. The failure of this structural column then initiated a fire-induced progressive collapse of the entire building."
and
"Intentional demolition usually requires applying explosive charges to most, if not all, interior columns, not just one or a limited set of columns in a building."

Can you see the contradiction in NIST's 2 statements

No, not at all, Simple logic dictates this isn't a contradiction. It doesn't say that you can't get the buildings to come down by blasting a few key columns (depending on the construction). You CAN. just that no one WOULD, because the entire point of a controlled demolition is the DEMOLITION part. People demolishing buildings are paid very well to make absolutely sure buildings come down completely and cleanly on the first try. Demolishing a substantial sized building is a big enterprise. Large area's need to be clear of people, Traffic has to be stopped. Security has to be hired. Utilities must be shut off. All very expensive. So no one that intends to continue their career in demolition is going to say hey let's knock out a few columns and see if it falls or not. Plus if it doesn't go on the first try then it would be very dangerous to go back in and set more explosives. So setting enough explosives to be absolutely sure the building goes down completely is the normal way of doing business. Nothing to see here, move along.

Bigsby says

I'd say he's making a very salient point.

I bet you've been waiting years to use salient in a sentence. Very good, the level of debate here has taken a jump up.

Squatting in East CoCo says

I have been teaching for more than 20 years and I have a lot of patience for helping students understand concepts.

You are a teacher? God help us.

bgamall4 says

The underpinning of the supports to allow falling into the footprint must come by demolition. There is no other way.

You have no scientific backing for this claim. The fact that you typed something on a message board does not render it true.

Squatting in East CoCo says

bob2356 says

So setting enough explosives to be absolutely sure the building goes down completely is the normal way of doing business. Nothing to see here, move along.

WRONG! Now that you recognize the conspiracy you can't just move along.

I agree with you that they did set enough explosives to make sure the building came down.

Of course "they" did. The time traveling aliens are very clever. Sneaking tons of explosives in the buildings, ripping apart lots of walls to place explosives, running miles of wire to connect them, getting the explosives to stand up to hours of fire, leaving no trace of explosives except what would occur in the building anyway, getting the explosives to explode with almost no noise. All while thousands of people went in and out of the buildings every day. Very, very clever. Good thing marvin bush was there to turn off the camera's at critical times. I worked at a clients office in 3 wtc (aka Marriott World Trade Center) in 94 and I didn't see a single alien go in or out the whole time. Very clever.
