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.


Storax Sedan 104 Kt shallow underground

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)

Steel pillars are turned into dust.

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.

Here I am trying to be helpful and am chastised for my effort. I believe NOTHING the government tells me but I did do rather well in physics. For instance, the law of gravity as discerned by Sir Isaac ruled at 9/11.

Videos??? Many.. Have listened to endless "experts" from all sides of the argument. When anyone finally drags some poor soul in front of the cameras and he says, "I did it", I will be eager to listen.

Is that not what the second picture from the top looks like?

You say - explosives did that? How did the wires and detonation initiating devices survive the fire to allow them to be set off? And if they did plant explosives they were damn good in placing the explosive charges just where the plane hit to make it seem the plane did it..

Let's just take the speed at which the buildings fell. Well documented from a variety of sources.

The speed at which the towers fell, the center core not still standing, the buildings falling within their own footprint, the squibs, Larry Silverstein's remark to "pull it", the odd activity reported by surviving tenants prior to 9/11, etc.

I did - you did not like the answer. In fact I proposed several theories - some very much implicating the govt - you on the other hand are a bot, robin. Americans on forums tend to be 'bots - some are pro bush-bots others are bots for other causes. The govt may very well be connected to 9/11 - but I discount the nutty notion of demolition charges in addition to plane strikes being the reason for the fall of the towers.

In your nutty mind that is not enough. In fact to your nutty mind I must be pro govt even when I say the govt may be responsible somehow for the events of 9/11!!

You strike me as a person who would be perfect for the inquisition - it is not enough you accept there is a god but that you view god like I view god.

You mention you do not agree that the towers fell top down - then you provide a photo showing the top o f the tower falling down first - and you posted lots of pictures showing the structure tear itself apart from the top down. If you won't accept that the picture we are both looking at shows a top to down fall then we can never come to an agreement - it seems you types try and shoe horn all evidence into your notion.

Gravity throws things downward - no surprise that the building would fall like a peeling banana - down with an arc. Not exactly a fall on the footprint.

But I understand - America does not produce the brightest of people these days - which is probably why they elected a president that speaks his mind on a grade school level.

I saw what others saw. Aircraft hit the towers, resulting in a breaching of structural integrity, the law of gravity took over and down they came.

One structural engineer posed the following question. "Considering that the buildings fell very nearly within their own footprints, why would anyone intent on destruction and slaughter be so careful, why not arrange to have the building topple so as to kill thousands more and cause widespread destruction"...

There was no rebuttal.

So now you are dishonest too.

No, you did not answer my questions.

You did not answer how the buildings fell at the rate of a free fall w/o demolitions.

You did not answer why the center core was not still standing if the buildings fell because they "pancaked" (there are no floors in the steel center core).

You did not answer to any satisfaction or credibility why Larry Silverstein said to "pull it" for WTC7. Nor why only his buildings fell that day. Nor how he made so much $$ on the whole deal. That was a 3 part question.

You heard the govt version and believed it. A govt structural engineer. Not one could explain, nor tried to explain why the center core was not still standing.

Furthermore, in a pancake theory, the floor beneath would not be removed BEFORE the floor above hit it, allowing for a rate of speed that is free fall.

This was a planned demolition. That is the only way buildings fall this way.

One structural engineer posed the following question. "Considering that the buildings fell very nearly within their own footprints, why would anyone intent on destruction and slaughter be so careful, why not arrange to have the building topple so as to kill thousands more and cause widespread destruction"...

Planned demolitions fall into their own footprints. The goal was "a new Pearl Harbor" per Dov Zakheim in the PNAC document written in the '90s.

They got it. They planned for it and they got it. Why didn't they set off a huge nuclear explosion for that matter? Why not blow up all of NYC? Why not blow up Tel-Aviv?

Anytime we have a "GRAND" conspiricy however, the number of people involved is very small and tightly controlled.

For 9/11 to have been one is believable, that goes without saying. However, for the mechanics of this scheme to be carried out would include untold numbers of "little" people with no interest in the plot. To date not one little person has come forward. Not one.

In one conversation I heard the term of "weight compression" being used. Being not too bright, I kept my mouth closed so as to not show my ignorance.

I did gather it had too do with weight of one floor being lowered to the one below and overstressing the structure.

That's the "pancake" theory. It doesn't work well with the speeds attained. WTC7 is really glaringly so.

Unfortunately, there was a steel core that had no flooring. Yet it all came down too. No one govt even tries to explain that.

And that Popular Science explanation written by the cousin of DHS Michael Chertoff, what a joke!

The best part is, he tried to deny any connection at first. These people are all idiots. I'm convinced of it. And their arrogance allows them to believe they are actually smarter than the rest of us. Nothing could be further from the truth. They are all devoid of any morals that's all.

Why didn't they hit several buildings throughout the city and really overwhelm the police, fire and rescue crews?

If they were incredibly brilliant psychopathic geniuses it should have been a cinch. Blast Wall Street, blast the IRS, hit the White House with three planes (don't forget the explosives planted in the White House)...the possibilities are endless!

Was it? Or just a big event, a "new Pearl Harbor" as PNAC wanted.

To bring down these buildings in this way accomplished that, gave Larry Silverstein an extremely handsome profit, also allowed him to avoid the expensive demolition required for buildings with asbestos. These buildings were operating at a loss according to the Port Authority.

Only Larry's buildings fell that day. Others were damaged. This was catastrophic enough. And so dramatic. All demolitions are.

The NeoSheviks have been robbing the US Treasury like there's no tomorrow.

While Dov Zakheim was Comptroller of the Pentagon upwards of $3 trillion went missing. On 9/10/01 the day before 9/11, Rumsfeld held a news conference about the missing trillions under Zakheim's watch.

The next morning the section of the Pentagon where the auditors work is demolished, along with a lot of important papers and computers and people.

But Sam Danner, a poster here said it was a drone not a piloted aircraft. He was a "witness".

How could a drone possibly pick out the right section?

Sam Danner was banned. He is not a well person.

And a drone, a missile or a piloted jet could easily have targeted the correct section, as you well know.

Well, that's where we come to greater Israel.

Don't forget the 5 dancing Israelis videotaping the fall of the towers.

I was raised in a steel mill town and understand steel a lot better then you do. Heat doesn't turn steel into wet noodles. It just weakens it.

I'll give you another hint as to what happened. Steel joints in buildings aren't welded; they're riveted. And those joints pop loose.

I've seen medium-sized tornadoes bend steel I-beams and pop the joints loose. Wind, not 20 tons of flying metal, going over 300 mph, loaded with over 10,000 gallons of jet fuel.

"Never before in history has a steel high rise building collapsed simply because of fire. On 9/11, by coincidence, three such buildings collapsed in ten to fifteen seconds, almost freefall speed. In other words, if you dropped a brick from the top of the World Trade Center it would have taken about that time to hit the ground."

Why are you two wasting your time with these posters?

The NIST/FEMA/SILVERSTEIN/ASCE/911 COMMISSION reports are mostly fiction with very little truth, research, and science.

These "reports" are cartoon comic books to provide a cover for the pre conceived conclusion paid by for by the feds.

NIST states that the "impacts" and "pancaking" didn't cause the collapse of 1, 2.

NIST doesn't explain how asymmetrical damage and asymmetrical fire caused 2 towers to fall exactly symmetrical.

NIST never explains how 480 degree girder heat exposure causes "probabable" collapse initiation".

NIST never explains how streams of molten iron occured from jet fuel.

NIST never explains how steel was evaporated.

NIST never explains how the fireproofing was "stripped" clean of all girders and trusses.

NIST never explains how 1,000's and 1,000's and 1,000's of girders, trusses and couplings all fail at once to have the towers fall at 1/7th of a second per floor.

NIST never explains what type of computer software was used to generate the theories it has came up with.

NIST never explains why it could never duplicate any of its claims when live scale floor loads and models were built.

Where is NISTS', independent of government employees, peer reviewed report?

NISTS' entire report is a criminal cover up.

According to one of the design engineers of the towers, their joints were both bolted AND welded together - those buildings were engineered to take two hits, simultaneously, from the largest civilian plane of the day, Boeing 707's.

All the reports involved in 911 contradict each other.

Thermate and nano thermite are the leading candidates because other explosives have chemical "tags" that can be traced to a single source.

I don't think it took as much as we imagine.

I also think 911 was going to happen no matter what. It was in the planning much before this current administration.

Your choice, I came late and reluctantly to my conclusions regarding this obvious demolition and conspiracy to do do this. I was long a skeptic of this line of thought, but anyone who conscientiously and thoroughly looks at the evidence knows better then to give the official story anything more then a disdainful brush of.

It fits in too well with the needs and wants of both the Bushies and the building's owners who had an expensive white elephant removed as well as the Bushies getting their Pearl Harbor effect.

You can posture anyway you want, but 9 11 was an inside job, and the buildings were blown up for political and economic reasons.

Rick Siegel, a NYC Jew recorded them on video from Hoboken and Sinatra piers. He was made to leave the first pier because he was told that wounded would be taken there. But there never really were any large #s of wounded.

His 9/11 Eyewitness video removes the time delay for the distance and there were several explosions before each tower fell. Also, the helicopters visible just before.

"Considering that the buildings fell very nearly within their own footprints, why would anyone intent on destruction and slaughter be so careful, why not arrange to have the building topple so as to kill thousands more and cause widespread destruction".

OK, that is a good point.

But that still doesn't explain how three towers collapsed in near free fall times due to such small fires. Yes they had damage from the planes, but they were designed to take such damage from planes comparable to the planes that struck them and WTC7 suffered no damage from any plane.

How do you know the CIA did not back the creation of such video exposes to throw people off track and off balance? to taint the truth movement?

They very well could have. There are some glaring errors of fact in that video even though for the most part it is very good. I could see the CIA or Mossad doing something like this. Mixing the truth with just enough absurd lies to discredit the whole thing. But you have to ask yourself why would they want to discredit the notion that the WTC towers were brought down with explosives? For what reason would they possibly do this? 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 analysis showing this was indeed an explosive take down of these building with strange and implausible things happening from the foundation on up put the three 'P's on the side of the notion that this was a take down for economic and political purposes.

These are people whose shadow government has done things in the past like kill Kennedy and felled governments and started wars toward a coherent end, and they are quite skilled in developing plausible denial that they did not take the towers down.

Even the incredulity regarding what they did is a factor they correctly feels works to there advantage.

There is no way those jets took those buildings down, no way they caused the explosions in the basement, no way they melted steel.

9 11 was an inside job, and Bush and company are going to go down for that they did in New York and Washington, D.C.

Gravity throws?

Ooo, you got me mistyping - the force of gravity throws the building debris off course causing the banana peel effect.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, or 32.2 ft/s^2.

Thermate and nano thermite are the leading candidates because other explosives have chemical "tags" that can be traced to a single source.

No real investigation was even allowed. People were arrested for only taking pictures of ground zero. By controlling the "investigation", they didn't really care that any evidence could ever lead back to them. No one would ever get a chance to see such evidence. Imagine, putting GPS transmitters on dump trucks hauling debris away from ground zero. They were protecting the evidence like it was gold and only letting choice individuals to have any access whatsoever to it in a very limited capacity. Since there was no real investigation, and they knew there wouldn’t be since they had key people in power in on the plan, they wouldn’t have been afraid to have used any explosive they deemed necessary to achieve the desired effect. It was a made for TV event for sure. They wanted everyone in America seeing this on their TV screens to gain the support for the takeover of the Middle East that they have long planned.

But you have to ask yourself why would they want to discredit the notion that the WTC towers were brought down with explosives?

You don't get it - the theory of demolition charges is a honey trap - so delicious a scenario people will waste their time and resources trying to prove that and ignore any real conspiracy.

Sort of how they used UFO's as a cover story to explain away secret X planes. People spent decades looking for little green men and ignored the black budget that finances the development of all these toys our military plays with.

Countless of people were injured and are available for MSM interview at any time. Of course you'll never see them save for the internet. These explosions were before the planes struck, btw.

I agree Rick to a point. The dust has traces of a plastic molecule that could be tied to a sol-gel compound.

In a airport warehouse is sitting girders and molten slag/meteorites that has been "saved". All that is needed is multiple independent tests on this evidence.

The thermate and nano thermite are perfect because of no tags, thermate is quiet, and can cut girders without the extra numerous cracks of high explosives, and is very powerful.

"Ooo, you got me mistyping - the force of gravity throws the building debris off course causing the banana peel effect."

I was planting trees to the southwest of Mt. Saint Helens when it blew. I saw what enormous amounts of energy are required to create pyroclastic flows such as we saw blasting down the canyons of NY streets after the blasts reduced concrete to sand and mixed it with superheated gases. Those debris laden clouds were not and cannot be explained by gravity alone. The were caused by the use of carefully placed ordinance taking the buildings down/

The shear size of the bloom of material from these explosions as well as the lack of remaining steel core which would have been left standing if the floors had pancaked taking the extra time resisting the effect of the debris falling on them which they didn't do.

No, this was a demolition of these buildings, done for political and economic gain, pure and simple.

Anyone who thinks gravity alone can melt steel, blast apart the foundation, create pyroclastic flows and atomize thing so profoundly only things like pieces of keyboards were found is either living in la la land, or has a vested interest in trying to keep the truth about 9 11 from coming out.

They also don't understand when implosion charges go off it's a low, dull roar, not "kerpow!" like a firecracker. It's a very distinctive sound; I've heard it several times.

And true, anyone in a building being imploded would never get out alive.

Au contraire, the obviousness of there having had been explosions at and below ground level bodes bad for your fairy tale.

There were plenty of rooms and other complex structure allowing some survivors.

This firemen who survived the collapse by being in the stair area they were in when the buildings fell prove that.

If they are in the basement how did they survive?

you don't even know rodriguez' story. Rodriguez heard and felt explosions in the basement a long time before the collapse. then he spent much time helping to get people out of the building. then shortly before the collapse he was up well above ground level and heard/saw evidence of a second explosion. then he got out of the building. then the building collapsed. then he dove under an SUV for cover as debris fell all around. Then he was the last survivor to be dug out. he was un-hurt under the SUV that was completely covered by rubble.

There were 15 or so people who were inside one of the buildings at the time of the collapse who did survive due to the fact that between approximately 10'th and 15'th floors a stairwell provided shelter and it did not fall in on them, the debris just fell all around, but did not kill them. one of those survivors was quoted in People magazine as saying she was on the 12'th floor and she saw a big explosion right in front of her. this occurred 10-15 seconds before the collapse began. She went immediately in the stair well after seeing the explosion and survived.

another woman was quoted in new york times as saying that a friend of hers inside the building told her via cell phone that he witnessed explosions before the collapse. there is in reality a mountain of evidence of explosions before the collapse. it was even broadcast right on tv - Fox, MSNBC, CNN, etc. their own journalists said they witnessed explosions up & down the building before the collapse.

I guess you're still working out your spiel. good luck.

There were other construction workers 3, 4, and 5 sub-basements down, Philip Morelli and others that reported walls blown out, walls exploding and caving in, parking garages blown, machine shops destroyed, 50 ton presses gone.

There are "newly discovered" clips of news reporters near the towers before their collapse, that have sharp cracks of explosions on the audio.

For a demolition to bring the building down on its footprints as you say - you need them placed in the basement - and no way is anyone getting out alive- especially the amount of explosive you will need - unlike normal demolitions - no gutting is taking place of the structure - you are overcompensating the explosives - plus how they could get by drilling all those hols to wrap a HUGE amount of explosives around beams/columns without anyone noticing is impossible. You guys are in the comic book world where they slap explosives on the wall and set some wires in it or something.

You guys are all over the place - explosives on every floor - explosives in the basement - but survivors in the basement - no knowledge on how much more explosives is needed to compensate for not gutting the building's structural strength before hand.

you just don't know the subject matter. Your efforts at thinking are undisciplined. you can't even discuss this stuff rationally. but you can believe whatever you're told on tv.

We told you the guy rodriguez was in the basement LONG BEFORE the collapse and saw/heard evidence of explosions in the basement at that time. Then later he got out of the building and survived.

the people inside the building who survived were in the 10'th-15'th floor range of 1 of the buildings and all in a stairwell that was mostly unharmed on those floors. this is well documented, I saw a special on PBS about it, and you deny it.

there are a ton of people who witnessed the explosions.

But in the basement there were chemical based devices set off to melt major columns at the very lowest level in the 10 seconds before the collapses began in both buildings. We know this because Syracuse University recorded earthquakes occurring at the locations of these buildings and in the 10 seconds before the collapses of both tall buildings. These earthquakes were 2-2.5 on Richter scale. That could only have been caused by the large steel columns bolted to bedrock being melted by very violent chemical action. then later pools of melted steel were found at the bottom of the rubble.

so demolitions were placed in the basement. and Syracuse University people gave absolute evidence of this when they spoke about the earthquakes they recorded.

Something tells me Destro(y) is a complete idiot who will say the earthquakes were caused by the collapses of the buildings. First, the earthquakes occurred in the 10 seconds BEFORE the collapses began. Second, the collapses of large buildings are known to only cause readings of less than 0.1 on richter scale. these readings were 2.0 - 2.5 on richter scale which are over 100 times larger than a 0.1.

the theory that these earthquakes were caused by building collapse is just foolish.

we know from reports that in the several days before this sept 11 events occurred there were unusual occurrences inside the building. The night before the lights on both buildings were completely off, first time in the 30 years that the buildings had been completed from construction.

and there were reports of a large number of workmen brought into the building in the nights before these events. the normal security and the normal maintenance people were changed up and unusual occurrences happened.

WTC& fell because a huge gash from falling debris destroyed its integrity from the 18th floor all t he way down the building was cut open - in addition the mayor had placed his command bunker at the top floor - crazy - but the basement was filed with a I think 16K Gallon diesel fuel tank designed already cited as a safety hazard - because fuel and fumes could spread throughout the building via the elevator shaft.

That combination was what brought down the building. They was no need to knock it down hours later for the insurance money as you intimate. The building was already at a total loss.

Its a shock to me that you guys reduce the complexities of 9/11 to a real estate insurance scam - complete with making Silverstein into some sort of commando team leader handing out covert ops instructions like Dr. Evil.

By the way was the 'pull it' comment intercepted by some Ham radio operator? No, He said it in a PBS interview as he reflected on the day's events - but you twist that to make it seem you found out his secret radio transmissions or something.

THE WORLD TRADE CENTER COLLAPSE

Questions & Answers

WHY DID THEY COLLAPSE?

Each 110-story tower contained a central steel core surrounded by open office space, with 18-inch steel tubes running vertically along the outside of the building. These structural elements provided the support for the building, and most experts agree that the planes impacting the buildings alone would not have caused them to collapse. The intense heat from the burning jet fuel, however, gradually softened the steel core and redistributed the weight to the outer tubes, which were slowly deformed by the added weight and the heat of the fire. Eventually, the integrity of these tubes was compromised to the point where they buckled under the weight of the higher floors, causing a gravitational chain reaction that continued until all of the floors were at ground level.

DID THE TERRORISTS PLANT ANY BOMBS IN THE BUILDINGS IN ADVANCE TO GUARANTEE THEIR DEMISE?

To our knowledge there is no evidence whatsoever to support this assertion. Analysis of video and photographs of both towers clearly shows that the initial structural failure occurred at or near the points where the planes impacted the buildings. Furthermore, there is no visible or audible indication that explosives or any other supplemental catalyst was used in the attack.

Even if the premise were true, this would have required perfectly even heat distribution in all 3 buildings. As I've posted before, with different damage and phyical variables in all 3 buildings, this explanation is impossible for a straight down collapse accompanied by "vaporization" to dust of the buildings. IOW, physically impossible, especially without the core being taken out. Multiply by 3 buildings with exactly the same collapse profiles and the absurdity of the government explanation is even more obvious. It sure "sounds" good though to the sheople who have an average intelligence level less than most high school kids.

and steel losing half its strength by 400 to 500 F temperatures are facts in your world but not in reality.

http://www.concretethinking.org/main.asp?page=827

The ability of structural steel to withstand major fires is under scrutiny. The latest findings of the US-based National Institute of Standards and Technology into the collapse of the World Trade Center couple with the recent collapse in fire of the perimeter steel columns of the Madrid Windsor Torre building question the performance of structural steel in fires in high rise buildings. And it is not just in high rise buildings. The avocation by the UK Chief Fire Officers' Association of a boycott of fire fighters entering burning steel framed superstores and warehouses is also raising questions about the use of steel for low rise buildings reports Anna Scothern, Head of Performance at The Concrete Centre.

http://www.emporis.com/en/bu/nc/ne/?id=101283

Madrid: A fire of an unknown source has affected one of Madrid's most famous skyscraper. The fire began at the 21st floor at about 22.30 GMT Saturday 12th of February and rapedly extended along the building. Torre Windsor had been under renovation works for the past year and fortunately the building remained empty.

Part of the facade has collapsed and firefighters had to abandoned the building due to the risk of collpasing of the structure.

The laws of Probability have been broken wide open if so. LOL

but the basement was filed with a I think 16K Gallon diesel fuel tank designed already cited as a safety hazard - because fuel and fumes could spread throughout the building via the elevator shaft.

I imagine a fire hot enough to melt steel and collapse a building would be quite large and hot. When did it start? As this fictional fire raged, was the immediate area evecuated of emergency workers? If yes, did Silverstein know this when he requested the building pulled? WHat did he mean by the term pull? Who was he communicatine with when he issued the "pull" order? Finally, Please show me any pictures of this building destroying blaze.

"Open space of thousands of acres vs a building - why the comparisons are dead on - OK, Sherlock."

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.

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.

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.

FYI

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.

Neither did they rise up for the Weavers or Waco. Does this mean by your logic that it isn't happening? Of course not.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Because they don't have an aircraft shear their support structures - the WTC and WTC7 were not your standard frame built skyscrapers - There were no internal beams for example - so you can get that open air office. See examples:

The ability of structural steel to withstand major fires is under scrutiny. The latest findings of the US-based National Institute of Standards and Technology into the collapse of the World Trade Center couple with the recent collapse in fire of the perimeter steel columns of the Madrid Windsor Torre building question the performance of structural steel in fires in high rise buildings. And it is not just in high rise buildings.

"Never before in history has a steel high rise building collapsed simply because of fire. On 9/11, by coincidence, three such buildings collapsed in ten to fifteen seconds, almost freefall speed. In other words, if you dropped a brick from the top of the World Trade Center it would have taken about that time to hit the ground."

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

If the aircraft did shear the support structures then the buildings would have toppled over when the planes hit them. Obviously that didn't happen, they didn't even sway any more than a windy day would have made them sway. On 9/11 there was no wind to speak of in NY City from what I have heard, so that additional normal horizontal stress on the building was not present that day.

It is a blatant lie to say there were no internal beams when there were 47 core columns in each tower.

When one has to resort to lying to defend a theory, it is a good sign the theory they support is wrong.

You chose a really bad example to make your point; Madrid's fire helps make the demolition of the WTC more clear.

First of all the facade of a building has a lot of non-structural stuff attached to it, like gargoyles (you're probably acquainted with a few) and other rather poorly attached doo-dads, as these columns must have been.

Maybe you'd have better luck arguing about the Pentagon crash.

The Madrid Skyscraper Fire
http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=4127075

Sunday 13 February 2005

Firefighters shot jets of water onto one of Madrid’s tallest office buildings this morning, fighting to control a blaze that burned all night and threatened to bring down the 32-story skyscraper.

“We are battling Madrid’s most important fire in its history,” said mayor Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon speaking from the scene at about 9am (0800GMT).

“The situation right now is still of high risk,” he added, 10 hours after fire engulfed the Windsor Building in the heart of Madrid’s business and banking district. “It will take hours until this fire is declared under control.”

With morning light, the damage from the spectacular blaze that lit up the night and attracted thousands of onlookers was evident. The top floors were little more than charred steel twisted into destroyed shapes. Everything else was burned away.

Amazingly, a construction crane remained perched on the roof.

Roads for two to three blocks in all directions were closed off to traffic, including the main north-south artery Castellana boulevard. Fire trucks, emergency and police vehicles blocked the intersections, while service was curtailed on three subway lines that ran below or near the building.

A filmy soot covered nearby sidewalks and buildings, and a smell of burnt metal hung in the air.

The dirty white smoke that poured upward from the building was visible from several kilometres (miles) away.

There were no reported injuries except for three firefighters who suffered smoke inhalation and exhaustion. At its peak, temperatures reached 800 degrees Celsius (1,472 F), said Javier Sanz, head of Madrid firefighters, on Sunday.

Against the night sky, bright orange flames shot out the sides and top of building, producing thick columns of black smoke. At about 3 am (0200GMT), at least six of the upper floors collapsed in a shower of flaming metal debris.

The building, reportedly the fourth largest in Madrid, was believed unoccupied when the fire broke out.

The cause was not immediately determined, though emergency services spokesman Javier Ayuso said firefighters think it may have been an electrical short circuit.

Police evacuated a nearby apartment building and hosed down neighbouring office buildings to keep the fire from spreading.

Most of the Windsor Building, about 106 metres (350 feet) high, housed offices of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, a multinational financial services company. The fire appeared to start about three-quarters of the way up the building.

As the fire burned into the night, all that was visible of the upper parts of the building was the flaming, gutted remains of steel-reinforced concrete floors.

Construction of the Windsor Building began in 1973 and was completed in 1979. The shiny gold building was a landmark structure in Madrid’s business district. The building had been surrounded with scaffolding due to recent repairs.

Madrid to dismantle fire-gutted skyscraper
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/050217/325/fcpak.html

Thursday February 17

MADRID (Reuters) - A 32-storey Madrid skyscraper gutted by the biggest blaze in the city's history will be taken apart piece by piece from the outside because it is too dangerous to enter, a townhall official says.

Madrid's eighth tallest building was reduced to a blackened concrete skeleton at the weekend when a fire that lit up the night sky like a huge torch devoured the 106-metre-high building from the top down.

"Given the seriousness and extent of the damage ... the adoption of any security measure to avoid new collapses would be totally useless," urban affairs councillor Pilar Martinez said on Thursday.

"As a result it will be declared a ruin and (we will proceed with) its complete demolition," she added.

A system of cranes will be set up to allow the charred remains, in the heart of the city's financial district, to be picked apart from outside.

"It can't be done from inside because of the state of the building, so the cranes will have to be outside and (workers) will cut it apart piece by piece and bring it down."

The Collapse of WTC 1:
Madrid Exposes a Fundamental Flaw

The Windsor Building was of a similar truss design to the twin towers, the fire started 11 storeys from the top of the building, and it burned at temperatures of 800ºC for more than 18 hours [AFP]. The core of the building did not fail.

The fire in WTC 1 is reported to have burned at 800ºC and was located roughly 17 storeys from the top of the building meaning the inner core supported only 6 additional floors of weight above the fire zone in comparison to the Windsor Building. WTC 1 collapsed after only 85 minutes, reportedly through core failure.

Don't you find this odd?

Let's take a look at the cores of the buildings.

Windsor Building Core:

WTC 1 Core:

It is obvious that the core of WTC 1 was far more robust than the Windsor Building's core - this is to be expected since the building was 110 storeys high.

The core was designed to support the entire weight of the buildings several times over. Far more than a mere "service core", it comprised of 47 steel box columns tied together at each floor by steel plates, similar to the 52" deep spandrel plates that tied the perimeter columns together. The largest of these core columns were 18"x36", with steel walls 4" thick near the base and tapering in thickness toward the top, and was anchored directly to the bedrock.

Okay, the core of WTC 1 was solid, but an airliner flew directly fly into it. Could this be the reason for the quick collapse?

The aluminum wings and the planes' fuselage would have been almost instantly shredded into pieces the size of an adult's fist, said Tomasz Wierzbicki, director of the impact and crashworthiness laboratory at M.I.T. Engines and other heavy parts continued to the core, but by working out the amount of energy involved, Dr. Wierzbicki and a student, Liang Xue, determined that at most half the inner columns could have been broken or severely mangled. [New York Times]

The above indicates that at least 50% of WTC 1's core was intact after Flight 11 hit the building, and the fact that the building remained standing proves the intact core columns could support the weight of floors above the impact level without problems.

This leaves a quandary because we are told that the 800ºC temperatures which the Windsor Building's core columns withstood for 18 hours wrecked the intact core columns of WTC 1 in only 85 minutes.

Okay, let's assume that some of WTC 1's remaining core columns of were damaged by the plane impact, maybe this could account for the quick collapse of the building. Well, this might be plausible if an 800ºC fire burned at the airliner impact level, but these temperatures did not exist inside WTC 1.

When you add to the above the mysterious demise of the building's core you have to conclude that either a fundamental flaw existed in WTC 1's inner core construction, or a fundamental flaw exists in the official explanation of the building's collapse.

Video of DeMartini's comments

"The building was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it, that was the largest plane at the time. I believe that the building could probably sustain multiple impacts of jet liners because this structure is like the mosquito netting on your screen door - this intense grid - and the plane is just a pencil puncturing that screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen netting."

FEMA!!!!

Funny, there's no mention of the Madrid fire.

But there is this interesting note you might have missed at the end:

This section added 14 January 2006

This website generates many queries from people in response to some of the other theories that are put forward relating to the collapse - namely that it was a controlled explosion.

The initial impact/further weakening by fire reasoning is based on uncontestable knowledge about the behaviour of structures in general, and the weakening of steel under fire conditions, plus video footage of the events and examination of the steel afterwards. The official FEMA report written by engineering experts came to this conclusion based on the evidence.

However, should additional evidence come to light that supports a different theory, the author is willing to reassess his views.

The fire wasn't hot enough to melt the steel
There has never been a claim that the steel melted in the fire before the buildings collapsed, however the fire would have been very hot. Even though the steel didnt melt, the type of temperatures in the fire would have roughly halved its strength.

There would have been variations in the distribution of the temperature both in place in time. There are photos that show people in the areas opened up by the impact, so it obviously wasnt too hot when those photos were taken, but this is not to say that other parts of the building, further inside were not hotter. In addition, to make a reasonable conclusion from these photos, it would be important to know when they were taken. It might be possible that just after the impact the area wasnt very hot, but as the fire took hold the area got hotter.

The way the building collapsed must have been caused by explosions
One demolition expert on the day of the collapse said it looked like implosion but this is not very strong evidence. Implosion firstly requires a lot of explosives placed in strategic areas all around the building. When and how was this explosive placed in the building without anyone knowing about it. Second, implosion required more than just explosives. Demolition experts spend weeks inside a derelict building planning an event. Many of the beams are cut through by about 90% so that the explosion only has to break a small bit of steel. In this state the building is highly dangerous, and there is no way such a prepared building could still be running day to day like WTC was.

Why did the building fall so quickly?
The buildings did fall quickly - almost (but not exactly) at the same speed as if there was no resistance. Shouldn't the floors below have slowed it down? The huge dynamic loads due to the very large momentum of the upper floors falling were so great that they smashed through the lower floors very quickly. The columns were not designed to carry these huge loads and they provided little resistance.

What about World Trade Center 7?
I have not studied WTC in any great detail and cannot offer any theories on its collapse mechanism. In the chaos of the day, little attention was paid to WTC7, so there is less evidence available on the damage it sustained before it collapsed. However, some questions that you may want to ponder ...
* While it did not receive any direct impact form the planes, how much debris hit at as the main towers collapsed and what damage did it cause?
* To what extent (if any) did the shock or vibrations caused by the collapse of WTC1 & 2 affect the integrity of WTC7?
* Did any unseen damage to the WTC7 foundations occur in the collapse of WTC 1 & 2?
* Did any of the fire suppression systems in WTC7 function?


The author respect people's right to question theories, but at the present time the author does not believe there is enough evidence for him to change his views on this incident.

There are photos that show people in the areas opened up by the impact, so it obviously wasnt too hot when those photos were taken, but this is not to say that other parts of the building, further inside were not hotter.

I can't believe FEMA said this. Steel is a very good conductor of heat, which would have made it very hard to heat up enough at any one point to lose half of its strength at that point. All of the steel supporting structures in that building were connected. If fire was heating one part of the building to the point of the steel losing half of its strength, then the rest of the steel on that floor would have been scorching hot, way too hot to touch as we see the woman in the photo clearly doing. Also the firemen reached the impact floor and reported only two small pockets of fire that they were sure they could knock out with only two hoses right before the South tower started to collapse.

When 'your side' can get people with the credentials in science and engineering like PM did and refute the PM article in a scientific peer reviewed manner then you guys graduate to the real world.

We've given you Dr. Steven Jones as a credentialed professor at BYU ( or was until he got canned ).

Not many people want to disagree with the Bush Crime Family and the NeoSheviks, so they post anonymously.

That doesn't mean their facts are not straight.

But you prefer to get your facts talking points and propaganda from the Chertoffs and FEMA.

Enough said. We know who you're playing for. You won't spend a moment considering all the evidence presented on more than one thread.

You just spew garbage from FEMA and the Chertoffs like all the other Rove minions.

no surprise that the building would fall like a peeling banana - down with an arc.

Some force, other than escaping air from the building collapse, propelled those huge sections of steel away from the building, in order to achieve an arching trajectory. What force is reponsible for that? Gravity pulls down, not sideways.

Force smashes down - inside floors get plasticized - resulting in the outer skin being pushed away from the tower - hence falling in an arc.

He think that the discipline to ignore the obvious in order the uphold the more comforting original official story is a good thing. To him, the worst thing is for the truth to get out and see the people become cynical and completely disenchanted with the government in such a way they never fully trust it again.

So he protects the power paradigm and it's original story as his goal is not the truth, but to maintain the people's confidence in the government.

He thinks the cure of knowing and acknowledging the truth is worse then the disease of toxic government, so he is trying to protect them from a fall.

"You work in the steel business?"

People in the steel business tested the steel, it did not melt at the very low burning temperatures of burning kerosene.

The people who blew up the building with thermite and high explosives knew this, and they made it a priority to destroy the steel evidence as they knew there would be questions. They were caught by surprise at how the Internet helped people network and focus research faster and in a more comprehensive fashion.

That is the only advantage we have had this time around, the next false flag operation, they will try to neutralize the Internet and minimize any viewing by the uncompromising eye of the camera that has done such damage to the official line.

Which is why it is deadly important to get them this time around, we may never get another chance.

"Do you think they fire proof steel beams for show?"

They build redundancies in any design. For example, the structure was extremely innovative and strong. Do you think they designed it to take two aircraft impacts this size for nothing?

You think that these buildings are going to be designed with structural redundancy and that will make no difference?

It is inconceivable two buildings this strong would be taken out by half the impact they were designed to withstand so exactly close in time line.

Looking at the differences of impact and impact point alone, there should have been a greater span of time between falls, or one should have remained standing.

They were designed to withstand a jet crash, and they should not have fallen. Even if one building fell, it should have left the extremely strong center core in place. This is too pat, to convenient to have both fall, to have so much heat and atomization of the very buildings themselves, to have melted steel months later under all that rubble.

What stinks is your ignoring of the properties of steel and the nature of the architectural design of the building. What stinks is your selective recognition of evidence picking and chosing only those facts help you excuse the criminality of these false flag operations.

Your willful blindness is your problem, we do not chose to stay blind to the criminal actions of the government and owners of these buildings.

Do you think they fire proof steel beams for show?

It's fire proofed because even small fires can compromise the integrity of the heat treating and the structure would have to be razed because it's not possible to replace or even shore up main beams in most locations.

So, one critical member that is ten pounds below the rated tensile strength could result in the demolition of a multi million dollar structure simply because the beam although still safe, no longer exceeds the minimum rating standards for structural steel.

Fire Proofing is to protect insurance company stock holders, not occupants of steel framed structures.

If there is a fire and the fire proofing is still intact, it tells the inspectors that NDT is not necessary and the building can be renovated.

Although steel can burn (fast oxidation as opposed to slow-rust) it requires blast furnace temperatures, and structural fires rarely approach the required heat or burn time for that.

Do you make stuff up by pulling them out of your arse because you don't want to be one upped without a comeback?

The planes slamming into the building scrapped the sprayed on fireproofing off the beams or the building would have stood up. That plus the unique design of using the outer skin as a load bearing wall also helped wealen the structure - if the WTC had been built in the classic design of internal steel girders then the building may have stood up at least below the impact zone.

http://www.nwcb.org/fire.php

The spray-on fireproofing to the steel structure (beams, columns and decking) prevented the collapse of this Los Angeles high-rise in 1988. A sprinkler system had recently been installed but was not yet activated. The spray-on fireproofing saved lives and property. The First Interstate Bank Building was back in use a few months after the incident.

http://www.concretethinking.org/main.asp?page=827

The ability of structural steel to withstand major fires is under scrutiny. The latest findings of the US-based National Institute of Standards and Technology into the collapse of the World Trade Center couple with the recent collapse in fire of the perimeter steel columns of the Madrid Windsor Torre building question the performance of structural steel in fires in high rise buildings. And it is not just in high rise buildings. The avocation by the UK Chief Fire Officers' Association of a boycott of fire fighters entering burning steel framed superstores and warehouses is also raising questions about the use of steel for low rise buildings reports Anna Scothern, Head of Performance at The Concrete Centre.

http://www.emporis.com/en/bu/nc/ne/?id=101283

Madrid: A fire of an unknown source has affected one of Madrid's most famous skyscraper. The fire began at the 21st floor at about 22.30 GMT Saturday 12th of February and rapedly extended along the building. Torre Windsor had been under renovation works for the past year and fortunately the building remained empty.

Part of the facade has collapsed and firefighters had to abandoned the building due to the risk of collpasing of the structure.

Your above re-posted citation is moot. It is about posturing AFTER the false flag operations and as cover to prop up the extremely weak official story. Naturally people are going to investigate or call for agencies to investigate the steel to try to fudge over the obvious fact that there was not enough fire damage or heat to bring those buildings down that way especially that quickly.

What do cases of raging fires in high rises around the world have to do with the smokey little camp fires that burned briefly in NY?

Hell, the buildings were down in an hour, and there no raging infernos according to the firefighter who calmly radioed that they could knock it down with two lines. (Actually one but he didn't want to be a hotdog)

You are getting so frantic that you're projecting raging infernos from other parts of the world to the WTC, and putting up a smoke screen of bad language to boot.

That ain't what happened.

And, there will be no costly changes to the building codes. They know it's bullshit and so do you. And, too many Jewish landlords that are presently envious would start to squeal if they had to pay to maintain the lie!

Even if there was no fireproofing, the heat sink effect of interconnected steel would never allow any of the skeleton to reach critical failure temperatures. The building would have been condemned, but that would have still left Silverstein with a cost prohibitive demolition. The estimated cost of the scaffolding alone was over two billion dollars!

Instead of relying on frightened govt licensed "experts" (who saw what happened to the first who spoke the truth) you need to ask mathematicians to calculate the odds. It's no accident that not one has calculated the odds of three steel framed high rises owned by the same man collapsing the same day, and each into their own footprints!

HAH! Can you say "Mathematically impossible"? And, then ask for the calculations on mysterious players betting that the airlines stocks would also freefall! And, since it's virtually impossible to buy untraceable stocks, why is it that those mystery "speculators" are yet to be identified?

And, here is the simplest way to prove that you're shilling for the murdering bastards. Why don't you explain what FEMA could not and tell us why WTC 7 collapsed into it's own footprint? You dare not admit that you don't know, even though FEMA apparently doesn't. And that will be ample proof of your desperation to safely dismiss you as the govt/Zionist tool that you are.

And NORAD does 100 intercepts a year without a miss, but that day they missed four, including a penetration into the most protected airspace in the world! What are the odds?

Save your frantic, frightened obscene fairie tales for the kiddies. In fact, they'll know that you're either lying or demented or both soon enough.

And then you won't be here to hurl insults anymore.

I know what you're going to say. "Shit, fuck, cunt, piss, doo doo caca wee wee BJ", right?

And, how many changes to the fire code have been passed so far?

Better yet, who is even investigating it?

HEADLINES YOU'LL NEVER SEE:

*CONGRESS AUTHORIZES A BILLION TO REWRITE NFPA CODE!*

I've installed massive transformers in buildings, and I know that if one of them catches fire and alters the structural steel above in any way, the building is totaled. It doesn't have to melt the steel, it only has to alter it's specs in any way and the insurance company is screwed. Fireproofing is cheap insurance against small fires, and it doesn't do much of anything against raging infernos which burn and blast it away like any other paper based product.

Fire proofing (which is paper mache-soaked in flame retardent chemicals sprayed on wet) is to protect the steel from the low end of the fire spectrum. My Bible, The National Electrical Code is a chapter of the National Fire Code.

I've worked with fire prevention for decades, so, I get a little weary when ignorance speaks the loudest.

Let's hear from the "expert" again about how a paper-based coating on steel is all that stood between the WTC standing and collapsing!

I came here by accident - Libertypost was turning into another version of Freerepublic - the posts regarding the Israeli war in Lebanon turned me off. The Freeper bots just migrated to Libertypost. So by accident I see Freedom4um - and to my shock - they are just bots of another stripe.

Sorry if that sounds harsh. It is a shame, really.

What you have stated is what Kevin Ryan former UL scientist has stated.

In NISTS own reports, NIST built live scale floor load models of the twin towers.

NIST conducted experiments with and without fireproofing. Each model was fired up at 2000 degrees for 2 hours.

Neither model collapsed, or had any damage what so ever.

Let's hear from the "expert" again about how a paper-based coating on steel is all that stood between the WTC standing and collapsing!

Here is another example of voodoo science.

NIST claims that the airplane impact, scraped clean and removed all the fireproofing from all the girders, trusses, couplings and the main core over multiple floors.

Then NIST gives no proof or examples or research how this could be done or where all the needed energy would come from to symmetrically remove this over all the floors.

well, well, funny how some are sticking to theories that even NIST has abandoned, isn't it?

I've seen the NIST videos and photos of the floor model tests.

It was really something to see. Giant open fire furnaces blowing right on the floor girders and trusses.

NIST didn't "like" the results, so they went to computer modeling.

"I thought I was a CIA disifno agent to you.

What is a shame is the open thinking atmosphere is gone even from here.

Instead of engaging in conversation you all here (that I have conversed with on this issue) are no better than Freeper bots.

Small minded - isolated - dogmatic, etc."

Actually Destro, other then finding your denial of the obvious, I took what everyone as saying to be more tongue in cheek then you take it.

For example when I saw the G.I Joe grade Bio I laughed until I cried, there is more tongue in cheek humor here then you are detecting.

Why don't you relax and keep on conversing? The atmosphere here can be sharp and derisive, as many here did cut their teeth on Café Paranoia (FR). But you have a right to your opinion - however wrong it is - if you can roll with the flow and not let anyone see you sweat, you are fine, I wouldn't worry about it.

The towers and wtc7 were demo'ed. BushCheneyInc et al are responsible. Inevitably, they will be made accountable. More and more Americans are understanding this fact. Your shilling to the contrary is pissing in the wind.

I am talking about the inability of people here to come to logical conclusions - sorry I take the accusation of mole to be this websites equivalent of Freeperbots using 'troll' and 'DUmmies'.

What I found even funnier is that that Kamala - named after fat black WWF wrestler from the 80s? - went looking for my profile and found my COBRA file and exposed this fact to world!

I wonder what the ballistic coefficient is for perimeter columns. Do you have any idea how fast they had to be moving to travel as far away from the building as they did? Compressed air didn't do that. lol

And they got them around the columns how??? You guys think they just stuck the explosives on the wall and set some wires and a remote detonator in like in the movies?

You guys think that fires that have almost burned themselves out caused two enormous towers to explode into dust just like in the moevies?

Who says they almost burned themselves out? A vee-dee-oo from the internet you saw?

Did you all forget that the that pile of rubble was smouldering days and days after?

Who says they didn't?

The firefighter's in the tower on the radio said they had two isolated pockets of fire. People standing in the openings created by the planes say that the fires are almost burned out.

In other words, the evidence suggests that the fires were almost out. Those who say otherwise are the believers of fairy tales.

The fact that the Ground Zero debris pile was a smoldeing mound is evidence enough don't you think?
