they most certainly belived that 2 was in serious danger of doing so///

Really. So that explains why they "called spot on" for a building to fall an hour prior to it falling....while calling for no other buildings to do so that were closer to and/or less-well shielded from WTC 1 and 2, this despite the fact that it was HQ for CIA ops, Guilliani, who had enforced it for his own protection (who, for some "strange" reason, left a few hours prior to the strike)....and no other buildings fell onto their own footprints...oh, except the other WTC 1 and 2.

Amazing!!

Pulling people out of a building, "because they were afraid it was going to collapse", does also not negate .gov's complicity with causing that very building to become structurally unsound to begin with.

Come on, war personally inspected every structural member of all three of the collapsed and maybe more buildings. Nothing to see here. Who knows... they might have been designed to fall into their own footprint as a cost saving feature. /s

By your "logic," if bank robbers, who plan their deeds well ahead of time (complete with explosive devices which they have others plant for them), set off the bombs at the appropriate timing, "announce" the building is going to collapse, the fact that they "suspected" the building was going to collapse exonerates them from being suspects themselves with either prior knowledge of or involved with the planting of explosive devices in a building (which they had intent to rob).

And new and radical are your words.

I am paraphrasing the words of the artchitects.

But feel free to continue to display yoiur Zero KNowledge Base...

A list of the innovations incorporated into the World Trade Center would be very long. In the following pages, I describe just a few of the ideas and innovations conceived and developed by our team. Most, if not all, of this technology is now a part of the standard vocabulary of structural engineers.

The tubular framing system for the perimeter walls resisted all of the lateral forces imposed by wind and earthquake, as well as the impact loads imposed on September 11. Although we had used closely spaced columns in an earlier building, it was Minoru Yamasaki who proposed that we use narrow windows in the WTC towers to give people a sense of security as they looked down from on high. Our contribution was to make the closely spaced columns the fundamental lateral- force-resisting system for the two towers. The tubular framing system also precluded the need for the customary 30-foot column spacing in interior areas, making column-free, rentable space structurally desirable.

In support of Yamasaki’s design, during the construction, before the windows were installed, I noticed that people felt comfortable walking up to the outside wall, placing their hands on the columns to either side, and enjoying the wonderful view. If the wind was blowing toward them, they would walk right up to the outside wall; however, if they felt even a trace of pressure from a breeze from behind, they would at least hesitate before walking to within five feet of the wall . . . and many would not approach the wall at all.

Another structural innovation was the outrigger space frame, which structurally linked the outside wall to the services core. This system performed several functions. First, gravity-induced vertical deformations between the columns of the services core and the columns of the outside wall were made equal at the top of the building; at other levels, the differential deformations were ameliorated. Second, wind-induced overturning moments were resisted in part by the columns of the services core, thus providing additional lateral stiffness. Finally, the weight of, and the wind-induced overturning moment from the rooftop antenna (440 feet tall) was distributed to all columns in the building . . . adding additional redundancy and toughness to the design.

A viscoelastic damping system was invented and patented to ameliorate the wind- induced dynamic component of building motion by dissipating much of the energy of that motion . . . acting more or less like shock absorbers in an automobile. With these dampers, we could control the swaying motion without having to use large quantities of structural steel. This was the first time engineered dampers were used to resist the wind-induced swaying motion of a building.

A theory was developed for integrating the statistical strength of glass with the dynamic forces of the wind to predict the breakage rate of the glass of the exterior wall. Coupled with a testing program of actual glass samples, we were able to determine rationally the necessary thickness and grade of the glass. Another theory was developed to predict stack action and temperature-induced and wind-induced airflow within a high-rise building; an understanding of these airflows is crucial to controlling fire-generated smoke and reducing the energy consumption of the building. A theory to predict appropriate “parking floors” for elevators was developed to minimize the oscillation of elevator cables, which oscillation is stimulated by the wind-induced, swaying motion of a building. Figure 2 is a comparison of the wind-induced dynamic components of the structure response of the two towers and of the Empire State Building.

The two towers were the first structures outside of the military and nuclear industries designed to resist the impact of a jet airliner, the Boeing 707. It was assumed that the jetliner would be lost in the fog, seeking to land at JFK or at Newark. To the best of our knowledge, little was known about the effects of a fire from such an aircraft, and no designs were prepared for that circumstance. Indeed, at that time, no fireproofing systems were available to control the effects of such fires.

All design flaws. If the pictures of these buildings collapsing were shown to the building commission or whatever you have in NYC, prior to their construction, do you think they would have been still allowed to build them without reengineering? I doubt it.

They did not expecty an airliner to impact it with 10000 gallons of fuel @ speeds in excess of 400 and 500 MPH nor did they anticipate that the fires would NOT be contained.

Is it your claim that when planes take off in a heavy fog that they are routinely vectored directly toward a city full of skyscrapers?

That asked, the 707 scenario was based upon the fact of a B-25 crashing into the Empire State Building...

If you guys want to make your theories believable you got to make them more realistic and less testable.

Instead of saying the US shot a cruise missile at the pentagon, and flew two airplanes into the towers and then used explosive to knock them down, then inexplicably blew up tower 7.

You should say, the Bush admin intentionally stopped the FBI from finding the terrorists, allowed them to take flying lessons, allowed them to pass through security, and purposely messed up the response to the hijackings.

That way you can use the natural incompetence of the government as false evidence of malevolence.

Well there isn't much that can be done except better fire suppression systems, since the fuel burns so hot. The steel becomes tens time as weak. So you'd basically have to build the towers to be able to hold 12 times its minimum weight.

Well like all designs that aren't up to standard it got "pulled" by it's designers own lack of foresight and it's own obsolescence. Too bad the cowardly owners didn't have the moxy to close it and do it right, before lots of people got killed. It's not like it was NOT a previous target.

I still will use my common sense and not venture into tall US buildings that appear to be able to collapse in such a total fashion. Especially when, for all the tax money I pay, the gov couldn't even take out planes being piloted by amateurs. Afterall how many others are built similiarly and as a result are ticking time bombs waiting for the right circumstances.

I guess the overseas architects must be better at designing buildings that can withstand some stress, since non appeared to have collapsed in the same manner.

Oh, you should be safe to go in them now. Apparently all the Magickal Jet Fuel™ was used up on 9/11. Several big high rises have caught fire since then and burned much longer but none of them fell. And none before 9/11 either.

Are you just making this stuff up as you go? Check the NIST report, it states that the jet fuel burned up in the first few minutes. Kerosene doesn't burn that hot to begin with, and there was NOWHERE near enough of it to even warm the steel, never mind weaken it.

The fires that everyone saw were standard OFFICE fires, whereas the WTC had ALREADY survived one that lasted over three hours and was much more intense than those that occured on 9/11/2001.
