View of a Military Expert: Why the Towers of the World Trade Center collapsed The airplanes did not a have true effect on the destruction of towers; they were needed to give an excuse for odd Orwellian wars at the same time when the USA is turned into a police nation, like the German Third Reich, to some extent. The towers took the impacts of crushing Boeing 767's. The towers were originally built to take impacts of Boeing 707's, which are approximately of the same size and was widely used in the 1970's. Fires that kindled from the fuel in the planes were too shortlasting and weak to be able to severely damage the structure of the skyscrapers. Even in the extreme situation, the heat from a kerosene fire cannot threat the durability of a steel trunk. With the temperature of carbohydrate fires that reaches only 825 °C (approx. 1517 °F) steel weakens at 800 °C (approx. 1470 °F) and melts at 1585 °C (approx. 2890 °F). In the skyscrapers of the WTC the surroundings were not at all ideal as there were far too many steel columns and they led heat away from the burning area. WTC 1 burned for 102 minutes and WTC 2 for 56 minutes only. A fire burning much longer, from 10 to 20 hours, could slowly increase the burning temperature down to perhaps 1100 °C (approx. 2010 °F). Provided there is more substance to burn, such a fire will damage concrete and irons, but not severely heavy steel constructions. In mid-February in Madrid, the Windsor Tower (see above) burned for over 20 hours, which led to a fire stronger and hotter than that in the WTC, but even the collapses of the Windsor Tower caused by the very strong and long-enduring fire were minimal and limited to the upper floors. If either of the WTC tower had started to collapse because of fires the collapse would have been limited to only a few of the floors and then stopped. The impossibility of a gravitational collapse is closer seen in other documents. A collapse would produce large pieces, and does not explain reports of fine dust from concrete, huge amounts of dust and pieces of steel ejected outwards. Destruction of the towers by explosions is clear according to the photographs and reports of the eye witnesses. In the picture below, a range of cutting charges have just exploded in the down left sector and a typical white cloud is formed outwards from the wall. Down right, explosions are seen as well. Even a flame is seen. In video tapes taken of the so-called collapses of the WTC, more explosions of these cutting charges can be seen. The explosions advance quickly, with a gap of a couple of floors, cutting the strong steel pillars in the outer wall. The explosions are timed so that it appears that the tower collapses occur in the same timing as in a gravitational collapse. The explosions are not completely synchronized in timing, probably a few charges are triggered by radio, and other charges explode out of the impulses of one of these charges (infrared, pressure wave). More challenging problems to the demolition men, however, were the central cores of the buildings and the 47 steel pillars more robust than the ones on the outer rounds. The pillars of the central cores were made of steel even 100 + 100 mm thick, thicker than the side armours of a battle tank. Cutting those, even with explosives, is extremely difficult. One would need to surround the whole pillars, every single pillar on every floor intended to get blasted, with powerful cutting charges. These charges would have needed to be placed in such a way that the users of the skyscrapers could not notice these preparations. As seen in the following pictures, the cores of the towers were not distracted by thousands of powerful cutting charges but by a modern thermonuclear explosive, a small hydrogen bomb. In the picture below, a hydrogen bomb explosion, the bomb having been placed in the cellar and directed to the core, has reached the roof of the tower and the upper parts of the outer walls. On its way up the waves of fire pressure partially penetrated about 100 floors of concrete and steel. Over ten million degrees of heat caused by a hydrogen bomb sublimised all water within the concrete in a moment. Water exploded extremely quickly into 24-fold volume and totally pulverized the concrete. Even people and computers that were in the buildings disappeared turning into heat and light. That is why almost nothing of them was found in the ruins. Burning radiation is absorbed in steel so quickly that steel heats up immediately over its melting point 1585 °C (approx. 2890 °F) and above its boiling point around 3000 C (approx. 5430 °F). In the pictures down below, super hot groups of steel pillars and columns, torn from wall by pressure wave, are sublimized. They immediately turn into a vaporized form, binding heat as quickly as possible. Bursts upwards, even visible in the picture below, are not possible for a gravitational collapse or for cutting charges which are used horizontally. In the upper picture the explosion is in theory 100 times stronger than in the picture below, but in practice the difference is only four times due to the capability of direction of the small hydrogen bomb. In the picture at the right, the brown shades caused by a hydrogen bomb are seen, while the top of the tower that is already collapsing is breaking down and the posture straightens up as the hydrogen bomb pulverized the core and it lost all its resistance. The piles point the blasts of the cutting charges. (Gehue plate 12) Extremely hot, sublimating pieces are not created with many methods. For comparison, pictures of subterranean nuclear explosions where the explosion is blasting onto surface and into the air: Ess1.2 Kt WTC 2 Banberry 10 Kt underground Radioactivity in air creates shades of brown. (The subterranean nuke in the picture on the right is 10 times stronger than the small nuke on the left.) This is the reason why the FBI did not search the crime scene. Ground zeros of nuclear weapons are a health risk and belong to the FEMA.

That is why I BOZO the dipwad.
“The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity, since the tastes, knowledge, and principles of the majority form the tribunal of appeal.” James Fenimore Cooper
In fact they are. topography of the kill zone created pockets of area where people were able to survive if they were in the right spot at the right time. Also the kill zone ended quite abruptly and you can find the border of it or areas where the superheated gas missed because of the complexity of the landscape. If this happened in the valleys and canyons close to Mt. Saint Helens, you know that there were areas of the blast zone in the basement and other areas where people in the twin towers survived as well.
That is the catalyst. No wonder they're working overtime.
of course some people survived. that Destro(y) guy is only capable of thinking along the paradigm he's given in dramatic fashion by a tv. I saw that stupid movie 911 I think a few weeks ago. I saw it for cathartic reasons only, knowing full-well it would be propaganda. It showed some firemen caught in the underground walkway between the two buildings when one of the collapses occurred. Some debris rained on them, but two of these firemen actually survived even though there was lots of debris above them. of course some people survived, that's the way it always is in such things. At Hiroshima in Japan on Aug 6 1945 there was one woman who was less than 20 feet from the actual explosion and she survived. She was in her home made of corrugated sheet steel. when the explosion occurred she stood right next to a wall, the building was flattened. she was laid down on the building relatively gently by that corrugated steel sheet and the force of the explosion just passed right over her. and 20 seconds or so later after the force of the explosion stopped she could push that steel off of her and she lived. Destro(y) would tell us that this was evidence that no nuke was dropped at Hiroshima on aug 6 1945. the guy is unable to reason. an example of a person who believes that tv is reality. his mind's been turned over to a reprobate condition. he is deceived.
BushCheneyInc et al did 911. Gonna be no peace in Paraguay. Or in the bunkers in Wyoming.
Either that or he has never done any cooking in his life to say that steel loses half its strength between 400 and 500 degrees F. I seriously don't think he is really that dumb, I think he might just be playing the devil's advocate here.
God is always good! Right, Paraguay will offer him no real protection. He would have a better chance on deserted island, or Anartica if the sheeple ever wake up.
God is always good! The demolition of the towers and wtc7 is no honey trap...it's a fact. That's why you're so heavily invested in steering the discussion elsewhere.

Don't test my debate skills. What expertise do you have to discern whether the "expert" is on the level? Do you believe him based on his credentials alone? Are you aware that "experts" have differing opinions?
you just don't know the subject matter. Your efforts at thinking are undisciplined. you can't even discuss this stuff rationally.

I can think of only one logical reason: they want to discredit the notion that the WTC towers were brought down with explosives because that is exactly what happened.

The Towers were not "demo'ed" - all such discussion serves to deflect attention the American regimes implication in 9/11 and serves as a 'honey trap' to deflect resources from legit inquiries and discredit any notion of a conspiracy (and there is one). Where did these websites get their financing for their investigations? Pay for their webpages?

First of all it would be necessary to define what an expert is. Does many years experience qualify one as an expert? Or does popular opinion make one an expert? Your expert could be my idiot, while my expert could be your idiot. Throwing the word expert around really means nothing in this discussion given your obvious lack of education on basic matters.

Not a case of who you are - but where do you get the notion that you can say the heat of a fire at such and such degrees does not weaken steel? It is a fact that around 500degrees C steel loses a majority of its strength. This was denied. I call out the person - where is your cred to say such a thing?

#68. To: angle, lodwick (#66) It would not matter - just 400-500 degrees F would reduce the strength of steel by half.

A self-cleaning oven is an oven which uses high temperature (approximately 900 degrees Fahrenheit - 482 degrees Celsius) to burn off leftovers from baking, without the use of any chemical agents. A self cleaning oven is designed to stay locked until high temperature process is completed. Mechanical interlock (patented in 1982.) is used to keep the oven door locked and closed during and soon after the high-temperature cleaning cycle, which lasts approximately three hours. Oven doors stays locked to prevent possible burn injuries. Oven doors can be opened again after the temperature in oven cools to approximately 600 F (315 C).

Disinformation is part art and part science. The CIA has been perfecting it for years. I have no doubt many 9/11 sites are meant to keep people away from the real truth and discredit it among others. You have to have the intelligence to see through the crap and do your own independent investigations based on the only hard evidence that has survived since 9/11, the videos of the buildings collapsing. No amount of disinformation in the world will be able to cover up the fact they were brought down on cue by our government with explosives as long as those many original eyewitness pictures and videos remain available to the masses. Some day this will be common knowledge and people like you will either be known as idiots, or agents of the evil regime that carried out this atrocity upon the citizens of the USA.

You know what we will think? Why are the American people - well you poseurs that think the demolitions were planted in any case - not rising up in arms? Ambushing soldiers? Police? Targeting political officials and govt employees? In Hungry the people are rioting in the streets over the govt fudging the economic data and you saps sit around saying the govt dynamited buildings down. I don't know about you but if I accepted the govt was dynamiting buildings I wold arm myself get some guys and start killing the enemy. The fact that you types have not risen up in arms to end this evil to me indicates that this is an intellectual fantasy on your parts - a way to give form to your fears of Big Brother. The Black Helicopter - FEMA is the shadow govt - UN troops are hiding in American bases ready to take over the USA for the UN crowd from the 90s who found a new expression for their frights after 9/11.

Because the sheople don't give a damn just as they are not rising up at the destruction of the Constitution and their Freedom in the name of "safety." Neither did they rise up for the Weavers or Waco. Does this mean by your logic that it isn't happening? Of course not. People alone will end up incarcerated or dead and most have children they don't want to leave behind. It will only work if everyone does it. That doesn't say much for the backbone of the cowards in this country. Believe me, if I had no children [something to live for], I'd have made the front page already doing exactly as you suggest. Your argument in no way discounts the veracity of what is going on. 9-11 notwithstanding, why in your opinion have people not risen up against the theft of their Freedom..or do you not think that that has happened either?

I have? I am not relying on any, I repeat, any so-called “experts” or lay people for my conclusions of what happened on 9/11. I am relying on the evidence that is readily available and using own knowledge of physics and structures, in particular the WTC towers, to reach my determination that the towers did not come in the manner they did due to the planes hitting them and the resulting fires. If you must rely on "experts" to have an opinion on this matter then I would suggest physics researcher Dr. Stephen Jones.

You might even get some credibility Start here: The Yugoslav Caldron “The CIA recruited and trained the jihadists” Also here: From: A Half- Dozen Questions About 9/11 They Don't Want You to Ask More dispositive than these speculations, however, are the very real connections between Washington and Islamic jihadists in the Balkans throughout the 1990s. The report hints at this relationship by mentioning the presence of charity fronts of bin Laden's "network" in Zagreb and Sarajevo. In fact, the U.S. government engaged in a massive covert operation to infiltrate Islamic fighters, many of them veterans of the Afghan war, into the Balkans for the purpose of undermining the Milosevic government. The "arms embargo," enforced by the U.S. military, was a cover for this activity (i.e., using military force to keep prying eyes from seeing what was going on). A key Washington fixer for the Muslim government of Bosnia was the law firm of Feith and Zell. Yes, Douglas Feith, one of the principal conspirators involved in launching the Iraq war under the banner of opposing Islamic terrorism, was a proponent of introducing Islamic terrorists into South Eastern Europe. Do the "Islamofascists" of pseudo-conservative demonology accordingly seem less like satanic enemies and more like puppets dangling from an unseen hand? Or perhaps the analogy is incorrect: more like a Frankenstein's Monster that has slipped the control of its creator.

In the mid-1990s British Steel and the Building Research Establishment performed a series of six experiments at Cardington to investigate the behavior of steel frame buildings. These experiments were conducted in a simulated, eight-story building. Secondary steel beams were not protected. Despite the temperature of the steel beams reaching 800-900º C (1,500- 1,700º F) in three of the tests (well above the traditionally assumed critical temperature of 600º C (1,100º F), no collapse was observed in any of the six experiments). At temperatures above 800º C structural steel loses 90 percent of its strength. Yet even when steel structures are heated to those temperatures, they never disintegrate into piles of rubble, as did the Twin Towers and Building 7. Why couldn't such dramatic reductions in the strength of the steel precipitate such total collapse events? High-rise buildings are over-engineered to have strength many times greater than would needed to survive the most extreme conditions anticipated. It may take well over a ten-fold reduction in strength to cause a structural failure. If a steel structure does experience a collapse due to extreme temperatures, the collapse tends to remain localized to the area that experienced the high temperatures. The kind of low-carbon steel used in buildings and automobiles bends rather than shatters. If part of a structure is compromised by extreme temperatures, it may bend in that region, conceivably causing a large part of the structure to sag or even topple. However, there is no example of a steel structure crumbling into many pieces because of any combination of structural damage and heating, outside of the alleged cases of the Twin Towers and Building 7.
