Prominent Structural Engineers Say Official Version of 9/11 "Impossible" "Defies Common Logic" "Violates the Law of Physics”

Diary Entry by George Washington

Prominent Structural Engineers Say Official Version of 9/11 "Impossible" "Defies Common Logic" "Violates the Law of Physics"

::::::::

Numerous structural engineers now publicly challenge the government's account of the destruction of the Trade Centers on 9/11, including:

A prominent engineer with 55 years experience, in charge of the design of hundreds of major building projects including high rise offices, former member of the California Seismic Safety Commission and former member of the National Institute of Sciences Building Safety Council (Marx Ayres) believes that the World Trade Centers were brought down by controlled demolition (see also this)

Two professors of structural engineering at a prestigious Swiss university (Dr. Joerg Schneider and Dr. Hugo Bachmann) said that, on 9/11, World Trade Center 7 was brought down by controlled demolition (translation here)

Kamal S. Obeid, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Berkeley, of Fremont, California, says:

"Photos of the steel, evidence about how the buildings collapsed, the unexplainable collapse of WTC 7, evidence of thermite in the debris as well as several other red flags, are quite troubling indications of well planned and controlled demolition"

Ronald H. Brookman, structural engineer, with a masters degree in Engineering from UC Davis, of Novato California, writes:

"Why would all 110 stories drop straight down to the ground in about 10 seconds, pulverizing the contents into dust and ash - twice. Why would all 47 stories of WTC 7 fall straight down to the ground in about seven seconds the same day? It was not struck by any aircraft or engulfed in any fire. An independent investigation is justified for all three collapses including the surviving steel samples and the composition of the dust."

Graham John Inman, structural engineer, of London, England, points out:

"WTC 7 Building could not have collapsed as a result of internal fire and external debris. NO plane hit this building. This is the only case of a steel frame building collapsing through fire in the world. The fire on this building was small & localized therefore what is the cause?"

Paul W. Mason, structural engineer, of Melbourne, Australia, argues:

"In my view, the chances of the three buildings collapsing symmetrically into their own footprint, at freefall speed, by any other means than by controlled demolition, are so remote that there is no other plausible explanation!"

Mills M. Kay Mackey, structural engineer, of Denver, Colorado, points out:

"The force from the jets and the burning fuel could not have been sufficient to make the building collapse. Why doesn't the media mention that the 11th floor was completely immolated on February 13th, 1975? It had the weight of nearly 100 stories on top of it but it did not collapse?"

David Scott, Structural Engineer, of Scotland, argues:

"Near-freefall collapse violates laws of physics. Fire induced collapse is not consistent with observed collapse mode . . . ."

Nathan Lomba, Structural Engineer, of Eureka, California, states

"I began having doubts about, so called, official explanations for the collapse of the WTC towers soon after the explanations surfaced. The gnawing question that lingers in my mind is: How did the structures collapse in near symmetrical fashion when the apparent precipitating causes were asymmetrical loading? The collapses defies common logic from an elementary structural engineering perspective. “If” you accept the argument that fire protection covering was damaged to such an extent that structural members in the vicinity of the aircraft impacts were exposed to abnormally high temperatures, and “if” you accept the argument that the temperatures were high enough to weaken the structural framing, that still does not explain the relatively concentric nature of the failures.

Neither of the official precipitating sources for the collapses, namely the burning aircraft, were centered within the floor plan of either tower; both aircraft were off-center when they finally came to rest within the respective buildings. This means that, given the foregoing assumptions, heating and weakening of the structural framing would have been constrained to the immediate vicinity of the burning aircraft. Heat transmission (diffusion) through the steel members would have been irregular owing to differing sizes of the individual members; and, the temperature in the members would have dropped off precipitously the further away the steel was from the flames—just as the handle on a frying pan doesn't get hot at the same rate as the pan on the burner of the stove. These factors would have resulted in the structural framing furthest from the flames remaining intact and possessing its full structural integrity, i.e., strength and stiffness.

Structural steel is highly ductile, when subjected to compression and bending it buckles and bends long before reaching its tensile or shear capacity. Under the given assumptions, “if” the structure in the vicinity of either burning aircraft started to weaken, the superstructure above would begin to lean in the direction of the burning side. The opposite, intact, side of the building would resist toppling until the ultimate capacity of the structure was reached, at which point, a weak-link failure would undoubtedly occur. Nevertheless, the ultimate failure mode would have been a toppling of the upper floors to one side—much like the topping of a tall redwood tree—not a concentric, vertical collapse.

For this reason alone, I rejected the official explanation for the collapse of the WTC towers out of hand. Subsequent evidence supporting controlled, explosive demolition of the two buildings are more in keeping with the observed collapse modalities and only serve to validate my initial misgivings as to the causes for the structural failures."

Edward E. Knesl, civil and structural engineer, of Phoenix, Arizona, writes:

"We design and analyze buildings for the overturning stability to resist the lateral loads with the combination of the gravity loads. Any tall structure failure mode would be a fall over to its side. It is impossible that heavy steel columns could collapse at the fraction of the second within each story and subsequently at each floor below.

We do not know the phenomenon of the high rise building to disintegrate internally faster than the free fall of the debris coming down from the top.

The engineering science and the law of physics simply doesn't know such possibility. Only very sophisticated controlled demolition can achieve such result, eliminating the natural dampening effect of the structural framing huge mass that should normally stop the partial collapse. The pancake theory is a fallacy, telling us that more and more energy would be generated to accelerate the collapse. Where would such energy would be coming from ?"

Do you guys hear a buzzing sound?

These guys are the pain in the ass I knew I'd find doing the gang-up gatekeeping here, like every demonstration has its gang of plants, and I'm now convinced they've figured out a way to give everyone else a different version of this thread than the one I'm seeing. There's no other explanation for why they think it's not obvious to many people what they're up to.

I think people should note two things:

1. The speed with which the next post following mine came.

2. That the poster insists on attacking people personally and has never in the thread posted anything which supports its alleged point.

Twenty Five Ways to Suppress The Truth: The Rules of Disinformation

4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist by H. Michael Sweeney


8) BONUS TRAIT: Time Constant. Recently discovered, with respect to News Groups, is the response time factor. There are three ways this can be seen to work, especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation: 1) ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response. The government and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for an opportunity to do some damage. SINCE DISINFO IN A NG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR, or the visitor may be swayed towards truth. 2) When dealing in more direct ways with a disinformationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect, and even enough time to 'get permission' or instruction from a formal chain of command. 3) In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious truth sayer will be attacked twice for the same sin.

These clowns apparently are actually now practically bragging that they have a way of knowing when I'm looking at the site and they often put a post near the top of the front page when I check here, is the thought I had. Needless to say, they suggest I'm checking the site too frequently for their taste while they banter about with various atttacks on me.

Heaven forfend that we might mistake your caustic innuendoes for criticism.

This is where you started getting personal and inverting the facts with me. Right off the bat. Before that it was you guys attacking the people quoted in the article, me questioning you on it and suggesting the appearance of what you were all doing was not good, and me correcly pointing out where one quote literally made no sense as written. From there you never backed down and merely compounded your lies. It must be your job. I feel obliged to point out your capacity for inverting facts with spectacular efficiency. Again you appear confident that others here have a different version of the thread from mine. Now you're trying to keep me occupied and waste my time.

I simply commented then, as now, about where were these guys several years ago and they were nowhere in evidence.

You challenged that comment, with ill grace, but as of yet have presented nothing to support your Argumentum Ad Hominem attacks.

When a person asserts something while they're attacking someone's motives and another person questions the assertion, it is up to the asserter to support the assertion as best as possible. You apparently attempted that when you weren't busy lying about me and I've informed you, though not in so many words, that your explanation is full of incongruities. In the meantime you've continued your efficient cut-paste aggressively-inversional lying campaign as if you've got quite the playbook for this approach, and you've avoided the incongruities. That's about where we stand, minus my complaints about the downright nastiness of it all interjected here and there. I'm done with you for at least few hours now, I hope.

It occurred to me that one of the few remaining tactics they have is to simply show up and throw their puff ball attacks to try to intimidate us by letting us know that we are under constant surveillance - like we didn't already know it. You are quite right in that they are mentally deformed, twisted, and debilitated shrills, but they do serve one useful purpose - as ineffectual foils to illustrate both their presence and what that implies. They do fear us because we are much more effective than they are, are much brighter (not to give myself "airs" but it is simply a factual statement - intelligent people do not generally become criminals), and have a weapon which their lies cannot neutralize - the truth.

Worth repeating.

The good news is, if we bozo him and his bait remains untouched then he'll soon realize that the virtual world is a cold, lonely, desolate place for a man without a country.

I only have to read your replies to picture his ugly troll ass, and if you stop replying he ceases to exist for me.

Those who are eligible to immigrate under the Law of Return are immediately granted citizenship. Controversy has arisen as to whether all those claiming citizenship rights under the Law of Return should be registered as "Jewish" citizens for census purposes. Jewish status is traditionally granted according to the halakhic definition of being Jewish-- if your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish as well or if you convert to Judaism (though conversions to Reform and Conservative Judaism streams are generally not recognized by many people in Israel). However, any Jew regardless of affiliation may return and claim citizenship in Israel.

Interesting that you claim converts can't use 'the law of return,' as it states otherwise.

I did not assert that converts could not use "the law of return" what I asserted is that some Jews, per recent discussions in Israel - particularly among the more Orthodox, do not and will not recognize converts as true Jews. Search on it, there has been some degree of controversy, some of it from senior Israeli Rabbis, militating toward not recognizing converts and some discussion of no longer accepting converts, or at least some converts, under "the law of return".

Could it be that they are not as witty or intelligent as they think they are? Someone who comes in swinging and talking trash is, on any forum, going to find that the reception is less than cordial. Besides you don't have to use profanity to pin someone's ears back - I'm not impressed, just the opposite really, by someone who as to rely on gutter terms and personal insults to assert their questionable manhood. It just tells me that they have no class and likely no brains.

It is called posting a reference. I long ago ceased wasting time doing a point by point refutation for people who insist upon using fallacious reasoning.

I stated an opinion and observation and got a snide attack upon it. I responded by disecting the attack. Nothing unusual in that. My intolerance of your apparent friend extends prior to this thread and thus my short fuse.

If my stated opinion is incorrect then correct it with sound logic and support of your reasoning. Otherwise I will treat it as an unsupported assertion, a logical fallacy, and if couched in insulting or uncivil language such as an implied attack and/or accusation will treat it as an attack and respond appropriately to the originator.

Your comment #5 which you began with " I don't want to be critical here" and then proceeded to be critical. If you have a difference state it forthrightly in a civil manner - citing your complete thought. You might then find that even if someone disagrees they will not mistake what you are saying for sniping.

They were certainly nowhere to be found when Dr. Stephen Jones was forced out of his Professorship and pushed out the door at BYU and that was less than 2 years ago.

How do you supposedly know this? Many are building engineers, they may have learned what they know about thermite from Jones. They are supposed to weigh in on a BYU personel issue involving a WTC chemical analysis/thermate hypothesis? How? How do they even know that the question of whether Jones is right or not was truly at issue there? Maybe he was dismissed entirely for accusing the 'wrong' people of doing something those people actually did, in which case these people would be wasting their time.

You are free to disagree with my opinion. That is certainly your right, but when you make an assertion implying malice when it was simply pique that more people have not had the guts to state the obvious i.e., that the Official 911 Fairy Tale is so full of holes and inconsistencies that anyone who is intellectually honest, and looks at the data, cannot but conclude that the Official Fairy Tale is wildly inconsistent with the observed data.

Too many people follow the herd and will acquiesce to evil rather than be seen to be out of step with the herd. My comment was intended as much praise for those who had the courage to stand up despite personal risk and state that "the emperor has no clothes" in the face of withering assaults and attacks upon their lives, their fortune, and their sacred honor (ring any bells).

And I still stand by my comment that the flood of new converts is a relatively recent phenomenon because I was arguing the case against the Bushbots and other sundry shills two years ago (and several years before) and it was very hard to find much in the way of professionals who were willing to be courageous enough to stand up and be counted - something the shills took great delight in pointing out over and over. It is a result of the trail blazed by those courageous few that these "Johnny-come-latelies" now, at this late date, have found the intestinal fortitude to stand up and state the obvious "the emperor has no clothes" and 911 WAS an INSIDE JOB. What the evidence supports is controlled demolition, and has since very early on, not "19ARABSWHOHATEUSCUZWE'REFREE" crashing airplanes into buildings. The Aircraft were the diversion for the the slight of hand i.e., the apparent cause that was not the cause of the building collapses.

Look, have I been notably unfair with you here, especially considering the context I'm having to operate within?

You're better off ignoring me as opposed to trying the skunk-blast routine.

...What the evidence supports is controlled demolition, and has since very early on...

There is NO doubt that it WAS controlled demolition.

The "official story" is a joke.

How do you supposedly know this? Many are building engineers, they may have learned what they know about thermite from Jones. They are supposed to weigh in on a BYU personel issue involving a WTC chemical analysis/thermate hypothesis? How?

The evidence was in the public domain before it was made acceptable by Dr. Jones. He simply took it to a higher level of rigor. There were multiple excellent analyses on the Web already - one that stands out was the Stochiometric analysis done by the poster "Mad Max" which went through point by point and established with mathematical rigor that there was insufficient fuel on the aircraft to generate enough heat to weaken the structures. The same poster did several other analyses but that one in particular was ironclad and has never been refuted by any of the varied shills and bots I've debated. It was available online at least by 2003 if not before (I don't recall when I first ran into it but it was posted very widely).

No, the evidence accumulated by Dr. Jones was noted and commented on before Dr. Jones published his monograph. Others could have just as easily done the same work, but did not. Dr. Jones lost his Professorship as a result, but stands vindicated as NO ONE has been able to refute his work. However, and again, he was not the first just the most prominent to speak up.

If my stated opinion is incorrect then correct it with sound logic and support of your reasoning. Otherwise I will treat it as an unsupported assertion, a logical fallacy, and if couched in insulting or uncivil language such as an implied attack and/or accusation will treat it as an attack and respond appropriately to the originator.

Gee, I wish I had said that!

I do not believe that the accuracy of Jones' scientific analysis was even at issue there, nor was the question of whether there was or wasn't (as the cliche goes) a 'controlled demolition.' Someone encouraged Jones to make an accusation and it was videotaped, IIRC. I believe it was something such as that which got the ball rolling at BYU. That's when the two-faced corporate-mind political heat had an excuse to make itself felt, AFAICT. FWIW, he made a highly logical inference in assigning blame, however it was viewed in a politically-savvy (regrettable euphemism) manner as lacking proof beyond a reasonable doubt, at least that is my best guess of the ultimate issue.

You're grasping.

Agreed.

911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB.

This is why they have to attack the messenger.
