An analysis of the World Trade Center collapse has challenged a conspiracy theory surrounding the 9/11 attacks.

The study by a Cambridge University engineer demonstrates that once the collapse of the twin towers began, it was destined to be rapid and total.

One of many conspiracy theories proposes that the buildings came down in a manner consistent with a "controlled demolition".

The study suggests a different explanation for how the towers fell.

Over 2,800 people were killed in the devastating attacks on New York.

After reviewing television footage of the Trade Center's destruction, engineers had proposed the idea of "progressive collapse" to explain the way the twin towers disintegrated on 11 September 2001.

This mode of structural failure describes the way the building fell straight down rather than toppling, with each successive floor crushing the one beneath (an effect called "pancaking").

Resistance to collapse

Dr Keith Seffen set out to test mathematically whether this chain reaction really could explain what happened in Lower Manhattan six years ago. The findings are to be published in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics.

Previous studies have tended to focus on the initial stages of collapse, showing that there was an initial, localised failure around the aircraft impact zones, and that this probably led to the progressive collapse of both structures.

Man stands amid rubble of the World Trade Center, AFP/Getty Once the collapse began, it was destined to be "rapid and total" In other words, the damaged parts of the tower were bound to fall down, but it was not clear why the undamaged building should have offered little resistance to these falling parts.

"The initiation part has been quantified by many people; but no one had put numbers on the progressive collapse," Dr Seffen told the BBC News website.

Dr Seffen was able to calculate the "residual capacity" of the undamaged building: that is, simply speaking, the ability of the undamaged structure to resist or comply with collapse.

His calculations suggest the residual capacity of the north and south towers was limited, and that once the collapse was set in motion, it would take only nine seconds for the building to go down.

This is just a little longer than a free-falling coin, dropped from the top of either tower, would take to reach the ground.

'Fair assumption'

The University of Cambridge engineer said his results therefore suggested progressive collapse was "a fair assumption in terms of how the building fell".

"One thing that confounded engineers was how falling parts of the structure ploughed through undamaged building beneath and brought the towers down so quickly," said Dr Seffen.

The south tower of the World Trade Center collapses, AP Conspiracy theorists see evidence of a "controlled detonation" He added that his calculations showed this was a "very ordinary thing to happen" and that no other intervention, such as explosive charges laid inside the building, was needed to explain the behaviour of the buildings.

The controlled detonation idea, espoused on several internet websites, asserts that the manner of collapse is consistent with synchronised rows of explosives going off inside the World Trade Center.

This would have generated a demolition wave that explained the speed, uniformity and similarity between the collapses of both towers.

Conspiracy theorists assert that these explosive "squibs" can actually be seen going off in photos and video footage of the collapse. These appear as ejections of gas and debris from the sides of the building, well below the descending rubble.

Other observers say this could be explained by debris falling down lift shafts and impacting on lower floors during the collapse.

Dr Seffen's research could help inform future building design. Subscribe to *4um PSY-OP Club*

Bullshit, it simply lists the FLT DECK DOOR parameter as unconfirmed.

That means there is no valid data, so claims of events not happening or happening are lies.

One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis.

So if it took 9.23 seconds, there's no demolition, but if it took 9.22, well then there is.

It took anywhere from 1.5 to 2.2 times what CT controlled demolition theory says it should have taken and did, shyster.

You've Half Truthers have been hosted on your own petard. Eat your lies.

And you are tap dancing away from, and have not addressed, the interview with Mark Loizeaux, President of Controlled Demolition I posted.

Loizeaux explicity says it took "months" to prepare buildings far smaller than WTC for CD, that this prep work was totally necessary, that it's absolutely impossible for people spending time doing this much prep work not to be noticed, and that people not familar with what explosions sound like think that any "sharp loud bang" is an explosion even though it isn't.

Once again you get your a$$ handed to you, and once again you will try to divert the discussion into quibbling over minutiae and definitions instead of resolving the basic question.

We're talking about SIX SECONDS DIFFERENCE MORON, not minutes or hours.

As far as HOW the explosives were planted, it could have been done over years time, but the perfect opportunity for the finishing touches would have been weeks before 9/11 where the elevators were being serviced, and the weekend before 9/11 where the power was shutdown in order to "run new cables" throughout the building.

Now go high five yourself in the mirror for being such a genius, even though you couldn't figure any of that on your own.

We are some 800+ posts into this thread. For four different events, not one shred of government or for that matter, anyone, planting bombs, falsifying records, covering-up, witnesses, hard fact or anything BUT ... "someone" said this and "someone" said that. These vague and nebulous expressions offered as proof shows the level of conspiracy theory addiction our fellow posters possess.

It is a wonder they can get through the day without hiding from the government out to murder them too.

Write to American Airlines and ask for their maintenance info on Flight 77. It's not publically available. And that's the only way to find out if those sensors were actually wired, and if the data was actually being collected.

The maintenance manual for the aircraft indicates those parameters were in fact valid parameters, but it's uncertain if the manual covers all 757's or not.

Now go find Hanjour's FAA Commericial License and get back to me when you do.

Idiot.

I already showed that his certification records have been witnessed and in the testimony in Congress about 9/11...... why should do your research.... by the way in that same document, it discloses who trained Hanjour and helped him through the testing processes.

Why don't you read the document that I already provided.

At any rate, it means nothing. He crashed FLT77 into the Pentagon. End of story other than the tremendous tragedy these hijackers performed on 9/11.

Wtong. You lie as fast as you can type.

In his video, Mark Loizeaux explicitly says the explosives used have a shelf life of 3 years, and beyond 3 years there's no assurance they will go off.

Not only is there a 3 year window to use the explosives, they would need to be set up in 3 separate buildings, each of which is multiple times larger than the largest building ever imploded - done by Controlled Demolitions - in New York City and listed in the Guiness Book of World Records.

So making your whoppers to avoid one issue, just gets you in deeper and deeper.

Just because an instructor claims to have seen it isn't evidence that it exists, it's simply hearsay evidence.

You'd think if there WERE a real certificate, it'd be included as an exhibit in the 9/11 Commission report.

Again, where's the info on which commercial flight school he attended in order to train for his commercial license? More than likely there ISN'T ANY, because more than likely he NEVER RECEIVED THAT LICENSE.

The FAA should have a record of it if he DID have one. They would ALSO know what flight school he attended, where the exam was taken, when it was taken, and which FAA examiner performed the exam.

Where is THAT information buckie?

Wow, besides lying through your teeth, you type badly when you get owned.

Is Mark Loizeaux admitting that he planted the explosives in the WTC? How would HE know what type was used?

You first say he said it could take months to wire a building and place the explosives, which is more than likely a real stretch, but ok, I simply responded that they had YEARS to plant it ahead of time.

Now you say I'm lying, because I simply stated the obvious, where YOU are lying by accusing ME of lying.

There are industry standard explosives used to blast cleanly through steel columns.

Military explosives are used to blow the $hit out of stuff with little or no regard to where the debris ends up.

Controlled demolition explosives are used to make sure that things they're used on end up where they're intended to be put.

LIAR. I asked for any image or PDF which contained a COPY of the FAA Commericial License.

All you have is hearday evidence, and not a shred of any REAL evidence.

The "22 second" collapse time is debatable, but the way you worded your original statement, you implied it could be up over twice as much for EITHER tower.

And I said we are talking about 6 seconds between your alleged collapse time and MINIMUM FREE FALL TIME where you said it's somewhere up to over TWICE as much time, where it's less than that for one, and we are NOT talking about minutes or hours, but seconds, SIX SECONDS to destroy an entire 110 story skyscraper made of steel and cement.

You said earlier, that Hanjour's pilot certification wasn't in the 911 Commission Report. Either you made that SHIT up or you never read the report.

So you're saying there's an actual image of his FAA Commerical License in that report, right?

LOL!!!!

I really like this comment: Or what happened to the pentagon videos?

Probably the same the same thing that happened to the high quality videos of the moon landings. They got taped over to save money. -- RickyJ @post#848.

Who the fuck said anything about "military grade explosives," other than yourself, pinhead?

(tons of bullshit omitted)

One whopper after another debunked. You're pathetic, Half Truther.

So if an intelligence agency or some other covert group funded and supplied by a consortium of governments wished to bring down the WTC towers, they'd use commercial off the shelf junk, eh?

What an idiot.

Ok, so where is the examiner's name? Where was the exam taken?

have him produce the slightest fragment of explosive residue, igniters, det cord, or timing devices.

Kind of hard to do since the nice people you work for knocked him off. Of course you know that already. So like I said before, enjoy your short time on Earth, it is all you got, hell awaits. You will see Barry in Heaven then.

and still nothing but silence WRT all those videos seized from around the pentagon.

Probably afraid we will find out who Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny's henchman is.

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

Sounds like a plan. LOL!

One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis. That is, I suspect, why the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work....Noam Chomsky

I've been debunking your Half Truther lies one after the other for the last month plus.

You will get there and I won't.
