BTW, in case you handn't noticed, there is not one point that you have raised that has not been shown to be bullshit,
You're great at projection war. That's about it though, other than your mastery of that character trait, you are nothing but a naive little kid who's all grown up and can't understand why those bad mooselums hate us for our freedom, yet swallows that tale as if it came from God Himself.
I don't have time to waste with someone who is either playing stupid, or IS stupid. If you want to believe in fairy tales that is your right, but don't condemn those who don't believe them, capeesh?
"The real deal is this: the royalty controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

O come on FL.
I mean Law Enforcement found the passports in the hundred million tons of flaming debris the next day and had photos of them the day after that in all the newspapers.
We are so fortunate to be protected by such a capable police authority.

Being told that I don't think things through with any objective sense by someone who doesn't think things through with any objective sense bothers me. I'm not exactly sure why it does or if it should or not but it does. Sometimes more than other times. It's hypocrisy. Like being told to stop fucking swearing. Or being screamed at to relax. It's everywhere. It's enough to drive a person nuts. Like everyone's talking about global warming but noone says anything about the chemtrails. Like there not there. But they are. I just don't get it.
LOL!
I know exactly what you are saying. Exactly.
Here's what works for me. Your mileage may vary.
1) First and foremost: I know I will not change anyones mind. I dont have that kind of power and if I could force them to see it, I wouldn't. There's wisdom in the saying about leading horses to water but you cant make them drink.
2) No one made me see anything. I saw it for myself. THEN and only then did I learn from other people.
They provided LATERAL stability/ Teh floor trusses ran from the core to the outer support once the trusses detached [as they had to the oputwer support at impact] from the core, there was virtually nothing holding the upper structuire to the bottom.
You know nothing of what you are speaking of regarding the structure of the WTC towers
Sure I do. Putting aide the fact that I did a college level paper on its construction which required a good deal of research, I've read most of the Moonbat stuff and cross referenced it to the investigation. That said, the most important fact that I knew all alopnog was that the buildings vertical support was in its outer walls [the WTC was a hollow tube or pipe that was then "filled in"] and its lateral support was in individual trusses strung between the core and the outer structure.
I've yet to see any of the Moonbat stuff hold up under "Cross examination".
or the impossibility of a near free fall collapse
It didn't...tehre was a 3-4 second difference in how the Towers collapsed versus Free Fall speed which, if you know anything about physics, is a HUGE time gap.
but that hardly makes you an expert on this in any way.
This Kerosene really is remarkable stuff! How chilling to realize that those Kerosene heaters we had in the house when I was a kid were deadly bombs, just waiting to go off. One false move and the entire street might have been vapourised. And never again will I take Kerosene lamps out camping. One moment you're there innocently holding the lamp - the next - kapow! Vapourised into nothing along with with the rest of the camp site, and still leaving enough of the deadly stuff to start a massive forest fire.
These whackos are actually claiming that the raging inferno allegedly created by the miraculously recycling, and impossibly hot burning Kerosene melted or at least softened the steel supports of the skyscraper. Oblivious to the fact that the black smoke coming from the WTC indicates an oxygen starved fire - therefore not particularly hot - they trumpet an alleged temperature in the building of 2000 degrees centigrade, without a shred of evidence to support this curious suspension of the laws of physics.

They fell in about 10-11 seconds where free fall through air would have been a little over 9 seconds. So you're wrong.
Wha...chuckle huh...your just posted that they fell at a time at odds with Free Fall speed...
Putting aside thatthey actually fell even slower than the times you provide, gravity works at 32 feet per second per second...those 2-3 seconds are HUGE in terms of resistence.
For one, the steel core bore the majority of the weight
Nope. The outer walls did. The core provided vertical stability.
Bullshit. Even if true, WTC7 was internally reinforced.
You think that a structure such as WTC7 would simply collapse like a deck of cards due to a relatively small internal fire a bit of damage to an exterior wall?
The collapse of 7 was directlyy attriibuted to one of three vertical support beams being compromised over 13 floors by the heat from the fires.
The individuals listed as the hijackers are not said to be using aliases
If they weren't who they said that then what else could they have been using?
That's about it though, other than your mastery of that character trait, you are nothing but a naive little kid who's all grown up and can't understand why those bad mooselums hate us for our freedom, yet swallows that tale as if it came from God Himself.
I don't believe that the Moslems hate us for our freedoms. I believe that they hate us because we are one in a series of western powers who have invaded their lands to exploit natural resources for profit and in so doing have taken one side or another in long standing blood fueds.

They had the passenger manifests of the flights which included the hijackers who were here on visas that required a file photo.

What I find dreadfully amusing is that after all of the mountains of evidence that have been dug up and presented that the shills keep trying to push the same discredited spin invented to keep people from concluding the deadly obvious:
911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB.
Always they use the same disinfo tactics - focus on one or two small elements that can be made to sound confusing, reference the government reports that have been repeatedly proven false or untenable (like paper and wood furniture burn hot enough to melt steel), and when again, for the gazillionth time shown to be false, the go through the "Fruit Loop" again.
It would be really funny except that you have to step back and look at the reality: 3,000 people were murdered in a massive government PsyOp for Political purposes and to cow people into surrendering their freedom for security. To surrender their freedom for protection from the people who committed the mass murder.
Anyone who would defend such actions and attempt to explain it away is despicable and a sadly repellant excuse for a supposedly sentient entity.

And, the architects/engineers admitted that the 767 hits were outside of the parameters of their "707 scenario".
And you can of course present evidence to support that lie?
I didn't think so.

The two towers were the first structures outside of the military and nuclear industries designed to resist the impact of a jet airliner, the Boeing 707. It was assumed that the jetliner would be lost in the fog, seeking to land at JFK or at Newark. To the best of our knowledge, little was known about the effects of a fire from such an aircraft, and no designs were prepared for that circumstance. Indeed, at that time, no fireproofing systems were available to control the effects of such fires.
Figure 3 shows the comparative energy of impact for the Mitchell bomber that hit the Empire State Building during World War II, a 707, and a 767. The energy contained in the fuel is shown in Figure 4. Considerations of larger aircraft are shown in Figures 5 and 6. The physical sizes of these aircraft are compared with the size of the floor plate of one of the towers in Figure 7. These charts demonstrate conclusively that we should not and cannot design buildings and structures to resist the impact of these aircraft. Instead, we must concentrate our efforts on keeping aircraft away from our tall buildings, sports stadiums, symbolic buildings, atomic plants, and other potential targets.

Another lie. The Flight Manifests were published and showed up on the Internet.
NONE OF THE SUPPOSED HIJACKERS NAMES SHOW UP ON ANY OF THE FLIGHT MANIFESTS.
NONE OF THE HIJACKERS WERE PHOTOGRAPHED BY SECURITY CAMERAS BORDING THE PLANES.
SEVERAL OF THE HIJACKER WERE TRAINED AT U.S. GOVERNMENT INTSTALLATIONS.
AT LAST COUNT 7 (if memory serves) WERE ALIVE AND ELSEWHERE THE DAY OF AND AFTER THE 911 PSYOP.
At this point all you are doing is regurgitating the same discredited lines of bullshit that have been planted all over the Web to try to discredit the obvious conclusion: 911 was committed with the full and knowing complicity of elements within the U.S. Feral Government.

WHAT EVIDENCE? EVery bit of evidence presented by you Moonbats doesn't withstand the most minimal amount of scrutiny.
James Doofenbog keeps trying to claim that the government concluded that kerosense "magic jet fuel" brought the towers down. He says this in full face of me posting the final government report which SPECIFICALLY states that the jet fule did not.
Tell me tha tthe government ignored warnings and was asleep at the swtich and I'll have an easier time believing you as I believe that ample evidence exists for that - Rice's perjury to the 9/11 Commission alone is compelliung. But, tell me that the government brought the Towers down without being able to ptovide even a minimal amount of evidence thereunto and I'll call you a Moonbat.
Anyone who would defend such actions and attempt to explain it away is despicable and a sadly repellant excuse for a supposedly sentient entity.
Yeah, all that yammering about just regular stuff you would find in any office burning and melting steel is pretty sad. Only mind addled, tv-addicted zombies would believe such stupid stuff.

The Globe said according to the manifest, Mohamed Atta, one of the suspected terrorists, was assigned seat 8D in business class on American Airlines Flight 11, directly across the aisle from Hollywood producer David Angell and his wife, Lynn, who were in seats 8A and 8B, respectively. Seated next to Atta in seat 8G was Abdul Alomari. FBI investigators have searched Alomari's home in Vero Beach.
The Globe reported the passenger list for United Air Lines Flight 175 shows that Marwan Alshehri got on the plane that left Boston and slammed into one of the Manhattan skyscrapers 15 minutes after Flight 11. An FAA pilot directory information spelled his name Marwan Alshehhi.
But, tell me that the government brought the Towers down without being able to ptovide even a minimal amount of evidence thereunto and I'll call you a Moonbat.
The evidence is overwhelming the government was involved in the destruction of the WTC towers. The fact you can't see it says a lot about your intelligence level.

SECTION: NATIONAL/FOREIGN; Pg. A1
Three men who were trained as pilots have emerged as the central figures in the hijacking of two Boston-to-Los Angeles flights that were deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center towers.
The trio are among a dozen men with Arabic surnames who were the focus yesterday of the massive investigation here trying to determine who commandeered the two Boeing 767s that formed half of the biggest terrorist attack ever against Americans.
Sources close to the investigation said that investigators had recovered from a car rented by a suspected hijacker a so-called "ramp pass," which gives the holder access to restricted areas at Logan Airport. Evidence also suggests the rental car was used to case the airport during the week leading up to the attack.
As investigators retraced the steps of the men, using an extensive list of Visa credit card receipts, evidence pointing to the plot having its roots in the Middle East was piling up.
The names of the 12 men with Arabic surnames were not on a passenger list made public yesterday by American Airlines and United Air Lines, whose planes were hijacked Tuesday morning. But The Boston Globe obtained the complete list, and law enforcement sources confirmed that they were focusing on up to a dozen of the Arabic men as they piece together how the two Boston flights were hijacked.
One of the suspects, Mohamed Atta, 33, is a Saudi national who trained as an airline pilot. The other two, Waleed Alshehri and Marwan Alshehri, are believed to be brothers from the United Arab Emirates, and are also trained to fly heavy commercial aircraft like the ones that were commandeered and flown into the World Trade Center towers in New York.
Both Atta, who attended a flight school in Florida last year, and Waleed Alshehri received training that would have made them capable of flying American Airlines Flight 11 into the first of the two towers that later collapsed, killing what officials assume will be thousands of office workers and hundreds of their would-be rescuers.
Marwan Alshehri, who attended flight school with Atta, was capable of flying United Air Lines Flight 175 into one of the towers, investigators believe.
Atta caught Flight 11 off a connecting flight from Portland, Maine. Two bags with Atta's name tags were on the Portland flight, but did not get transferred in time to be loaded on the Los Angeles-bound flight that left Logan Airport at 7:59 a.m., about 45 minutes before it smashed into the World Trade Center tower.
Acccording to the manifest, Atta was assigned seat 8D in business class on Flight 11, directly across the aisle from Hollywood producer David Angell and his wife, Lynn, who were in seats 8A and 8B respectively. Seated next to Atta in seat 8G was Abdul Alomari. The two remaining seats in Row 8, H and J, were unassigned.
The passenger list for Flight 175 shows that Marwan Alshehri got on the plane that left Boston and slammed into one of the Manhattan skyscrapers 15 minutes after Flight 11.
A Florida man, Charles Voss, yesterday said that Atta and a man whom he knew only as Marwan had stayed at his home last year while they obtained flight training at a Florida flight school. Voss, who used to work at Huffman Aviation in Venice, Fla., told the Associated Press that the FBI agents who interviewed him Tuesday told him that the two men who stayed at his home were involved in the hijackings. Azzan Ali, a student at Huffman Aviation, said that Marwan Alshehri had stayed with Voss.
Voss said the FBI told him that the two men who had stayed with him last year had been traced to a car found at Logan Airport. Law enforcement sources told the Globe that authorities had recovered from the car a a ramp pass issued by the Massachusetts Port Authority.
Waleed Alshehri also held a commercial pilot's license and was rated to fly large, multi-engine aircraft.
On Tuesday night, Massachusetts State Police detectives and the FBI seized a Mitsubishi sedan that a Hampden County law enforcement official said one of the suspected hijackers rented in Springfield and that was parked in a Logan Airport parking lot. When they reviewed videotape of the parking lot's surveillance camera, investigators found that the car had entered the lot up to five times between last Wednesday and Tuesday, according to sources. Those sources said the constant presence of the car over the last week suggested that the terrorists had scouted the airport, or performed dry runs for the daring attack.
Sources familiar with the investigation said the ramp pass, found in the Mitsubishi sedan, gives holders access to restricted parts of the airport.
Sources said at least five one-way tickets for the United flight and at least two similar tickets for the American flight were purchased at the last minute by suspected hijackers. The sources said at least four of the tickets were purchased with the same Visa card.
One state official who spoke on condition of anonymity expressed deep regret that airline officials did not react more cautiously regarding the ticket purchases.
"That is something that should jump out at you," said the state official. "One- way ticket, purchased by Arabic gentlemen; that should have been red-flagged."
One source said the car had been parked at least "four to five" times at Logan since Sept. 5.
Meanwhile, authorities in Florida were investigating the possibility that two suspected terrorists, including Waleed Alshehri, prepared for the attacks on New York and Washington while at Embry-Riddle Aeronautics University in Daytona Beach - one as a student and one while working as an instructor.
In a statement yesterday, university officials said they are cooperating with the FBI and other investigative agencies and would provide no further information.
But the Globe found Waleed Alshehri's name on a list of 1997 Embry graduates. The FBI Tuesday evening searched a Daytona Beach apartment where Alshehri lived during the time he is believed to have attended Embry.
The Globe reported yesterday that inside the suitcase belonging to Atta, investigators found a Saudi passport, an international driver's license, a videotape on how to fly a Boeing 757 and 747, and "some kind of religious cassette tape." Atta has previously held an Egyptian driver's license.
State Police and the FBI spent much of yesterday searching a unit of the Park Inn off Route 9 in Chestnut Hill, where at least two of the hijackers were believed to have stayed the night before the attack. At noon, more than a dozen law enforcement vehicles parked behind the hotel, and officers, some clad in bullet-proof vests and bearing shields, assembled on the third floor of the inn.
The unit of the inn, formerly the Susse Chalet, is under renovation and only a few rooms were occupied, according to one of its managers.
FBI investigators spent about 15 hours in Room 432 of the inn yesterday, painstakingly analyzing and removing evidence, including a recliner as well as several boxes and bags of material. The operation started at 6 a.m., according to other guests at the inn, who returned last night to find they were being moved to other buildings in the complex.
All the guests were moved out of the building except Michael Arnold, of Nantucket, who was staying in the room next to 432 and was allowed to go in and shave last evening.
Arnold had noticed the two men staying in the room next to his, where he said the FBI told him they found a flight schedule and a train schedule. But he said he had not noticed anything unusual about the men.
While authorities were busy retracing the steps of Atta and his suspected co- conspirators, the fluid nature of the investigation was made evident as police aggressively followed any potential lead, sometimes catching up in their dragnet people who simply appeared suspicious to a jumpy public.
In one case, three Arabs, including at least one with the same last name as one of the suspected hijackers, were taken into custody yesterday afternoon at the Westin Copley Place Hotel in a dramatic swoop by FBI agents, State Police detectives, and a heavily armored Boston police SWAT team. Several blocks surrounding the hotel were sealed off, and thousands of curious and nervous bystanders watched the police operation. But within a few hours, the three people who were taken in for questioning had been ruled out as being involved in the hijackings, sources said.
An employee at the Budget Car and Truck Rental office inside the Westin said several Arab guests at the hotel who attempted to rent a car yesterday morning were considered suspicious, prompting the call to police.
At about 3 p.m., Providence police stopped an Amtrak train heading from Boston to Washington, just outside the Providence train station. While police were looking for people wanted for questioning, Providence Police Colonel Richard T. Sullivan said a man taken from the train and arrested for carrying a large knife was not linked to the hijackings.
Within hours of the second plane hitting the twin towers on Tuesday, the FBI was on the phone to Boston police, asking for all their files on licensing of Boston cab drivers and saying they were looking for information on all drivers, past and present, of Arabic descent, according to sources familiar with the investigation. The department's computerized database with the names of about 7,000 people who have been licensed as Boston cab drivers since the mid-1990s was provided. According to one source, the names of "hundred and hundreds" of people of Arabic descent are in the database.
Boston police were told that authorities were not focusing on a particular individual or individuals for the terrorist acts, the officials said. However, the federal authorities said that since the names of several cab drivers with ties to Osama bin Laden had become known after the bombing of the USS Cole, they wanted to check to see if those whose names may come up in this investigation had any similar Boston ties, the officials said.
In Washington, meanwhile, US officials were trying to determine whether the hijackers were linked to the Saudi-born, anti-American terrorist bin Laden.
Asked if the hijackers could belong to other terror groups, one US official said, "Bin Laden's organization is a lot of different groups loosely aligned with him, so sure it's possible. But all the individuals are commonly linked to him."
US officials were sorting through "thousands" of leads yesterday at the FBI, State Department, Defense Department, and various intelligence agencies. A second US official, based in the State Department, said they were also receiving an unusually heavy number of threats against US targets.
"We're sorting out what may be real and what are just copycats," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "We're looking at literally thousands of pieces of information, trying to establish one line that more or less makes the most sense."
Search warrants have been executed in states other than Florida, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, but those warrants are sealed because they contain information investigators believe could hinder their pursuit of those responsible for Tuesday's attack, a Justice Department official said.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official would not say how many warrants have been issued or identify the other states.
Law enforcement officials have been slow to confirm information reported about the attacks.

No one said anything about "resisting" the impact.
The buildings were designed to withstand the impact of a 707 - which you can try to obfuscate but cannot refute.
The difference is size between a 707 and a 767 is relatively small and the 707 had a larger fuel capacity due to a less efficient, earlier, design.
The aircraft were not fully loaded with fuel, admitted in the FEMA report, as it is standard practice to load only enough fuel to make the scheduled flight plus 10% for a margin of safety. Thus the aircraft had about 10,000 gallons of fuel - less than their capacity.
JP 8 (Kerosene) does not burn hot enough even under ideal conditions in a forced air furnace (for example a Jet Engine) to melt steel. Witness the fact that airliners don't crash because the fuel melted the engines.
Paper and Wood are elements of a Class Alpha Fire and do not, even under ideal laboratory conditions, get hot enough to melt steel and there was insufficient quantities to even soften the steel as the steel girder framework acts like a heat sink dispersing the head throughout the structure and thus keeping the temperature down below the critical points.
A localized fire cannot cause a uniform symmetrical simultaneous collapse. The normal failure pattern in a catastrophic structural failure is for there to be a point of greatest weakness. The failure occurs at the weak point first which results in an ASYMMETRICAL failure with the structure moving toward the point of failure. It does not occur simultaneously in 360 degrees causing a uniform symmetrical failure. The uniform symmetrical failure is itself evidence of controlled demolition.
Further in true shill fashion once it was pointed out that the box column center of the building is the primary load bearing structure of the building design you simply followed the fruit loop pattern of avoiding it, denying it, and the trying to shift the debate away from that which you cannot dispute.
You are a liar, are shown to be a liar, and intentionally so. You are either a Shill or an Idiot and at this point Shill is most likely given your repeated use of disinformation tactics.

Let's see...am I to take the word of an internet Moonbat arguing with the words of the structural engineer or the word of the structural engineer, himself...hmmm...ah....uh...hmmm...what a ponderable...? [snicker]
too bad for you that the WTC fires were not localized...but...suspending disblief for the momenbt and stipulating that they were...they were localized to an area already catostrophically damaged and vital to the structure's support...
That's right, if you are killed by an Arab terrorist in New York, your DNA will be destroyed by such temperatures. But if you are killed by an Arab terrorist in Washington, your DNA will be so robust that it can survive temperatures which completely vapourise a sixty-five ton aircraft.
You see, these loonies have somehow concocted the idea that the missile which hit the pentagon was not a missile at all, but one of the hijacked planes. And to prove this unlikely premise, they point to a propaganda statement from the Bush regime, which rather stupidly claims that all but one of the people aboard the plane were identified from the site by DNA testing, even though nothing remains of the plane. The plane was vapourised by the fuel tank explosion, maintain these space loonies, but the people inside it were all but one identified by DNA testing.
So there we have it. The qualities of DNA are different, depending upon which city you're in, or perhaps depending upon which fairy story you're trying to sell at any particular time.

which rather stupidly claims that all but one of the people aboard the plane were identified from the site by DNA test
DNA extractions were done on every one of the 19,906 remains, and 4,735 of those have been identified. As many as 200 remains have been linked to a single person. Of the 1,401 people identified include 45 of those aboard the hijacked planes - 33 from Flight 11, which struck the north tower, and 12 from Flight 175, which hit the south tower....

Ground was broken on August 5th, 1966. The project began with excavation six stories down to bedrock where the towers footings would stand. Crews dug around the PATH train tubes within the site, removing one million cubic yards of earth that would eventually form Battery Park City.
Site preparations were vast and included an elaborate method of foundation work for which a bathtub had to be built 65 feet below grade. The bathtub was made of a bentonite (absorbent clay) slurry wall meant to keep out groundwater and the Hudson River. Tie-backs were inserted through the wall and anchored at an angle in the earth behind them.
The foundation construction was just a fraction of many innovations masterminded by Yamasaki and team. Among them were the Twin Towers high-speed elevators, sky lobbies, and a hollow tube building model that distributed weight from the inner core across floor trusses to the exteriors closely spaced steel columns. The load-bearing exterior also served as bracing against wind. Floor trusses and exterior-wall panels were prefabricated before being lifted and bolted into place, speeding construction.
The first tenants moved into 1 WTC, the north tower, in 1970, and two years later into 2 WTC. The Port Authoritys construction costs totaled more than $900 million.
To supply power to the 10048 zip codewhich was dedicated solely to the WTC siteCon Edison built an electrical substation across Vesey Street in 1967. Atop the substation developer Silverstein Properties built a 47-story, red masonry tower, known as Seven World Trade Center, in 1987.
The buildings were designed to withstand the impact of a 707 - which you can try to obfuscate but cannot refute.
Because the 767s were traveling at high speeds, were somewhat larger than 707s and each carried about 80 tons of jet fuel, Robertson said, the energy that was absorbed by the impact was not less than three-times, and probably as much as six-times greater than the impact we had considered.
once it was pointed out that the box column center of the building is the primary load bearing structure of the building design you simply followed the fruit loop pattern of avoiding it, denying it, and the trying to shift the debate away from that which you cannot dispute.
This revolutionary construction system was a major change from the conventional system that used steel i-beams throughout the structure with non-structural exterior curtain walls. Prior to this time, curtain walls were used primarily to keep the elements out and were non-load bearing. All wind loads were transferred through the floor membrane and supported by the core of the structure. This new hollow tube system design resulted in a light and economical structure using only half the amount of steel required in a conventional building. It also provided for the wind bracing to be placed in the exterior walls the most efficient place. The exterior wall in this system would be load bearing and used to support the structure itself.
