Where do you get the 10 seconds from, did you have some special camera that saw through the massive debris cloud?

Why was there a massive debris cloud? Pancake collapses don't create massive debris clouds. The pyroclastic flows illustrate that the towers were blown up. A gravity collapse doesn't hurl 20 ton sections of steel far out from the footprint.

No.

So you're saying no aircraft were involved in 9-11?

 

What I am saying is,

It is completely impossible that the alleged 911 hijackers caused the collapse of WTC towers 1, 2 and 7. 

Proof one: The existence of molten metals; steel, molybdenum, iron at WTC the existence of vaporized steel at WTC, the existence of nanothermite at WTC all attest to the fact that the alleged hijackers did not cause the collapse of WTC towers 1, 2 and 7.

Some messages are not so much offensive as simply nuisance value. An example would be a person who persistently creates conflict without contributing anything useful. In newsgroup circles, such a person is known as a "troll". We define "trolling" as a message that serves no constructive purpose and is likely to cause offence or arguments. We define "annoying" as any message that results in a complaint from a registered user -- we will then decide whether to take action.

[Rue]

To start with in response to Hot, in fact the report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology explains how high-temperature fires started by jet fuel caused the buildings' outer columns to bow in, leading to the buildings' collapse NOT melt.

The report in fact  concluded that the fireproofing on the Twin Towers' steel infrastructures was blown off by the initial impact of the planes and that if this had not occurred the WTC would likely have remained standing. The fires weakened the trusses supporting the floors making the floors sag. The sagging floors pulled on the exterior steel columns to the point where exterior columns bowed inward. With the damage to the core columns the buckling exterior columns could no longer support the buildings so they collapsed.

Now let's re-examine the issues I referred to in a previous article Hot will not respond to using alternative sources to again speak directly to h is allegations and offer alternative explanations.

My information I will now refer to is a synopsis of article that can be found at http://skepdic.com/911conspiracy.html.  I

have summarized it in direct response to the allegations of Hot.

1-Free fall

As Impact and others have tried to explain the towers did not fall 'at free fall speed'. The videos clearly show debris from the towers fell faster than the towers themselves proving the towers didn’t free fall.

2-Planned Explosion(s)/Demolitions,  Bombs

In regards to the allegation the buildings were brought down by explosives, photographs show the walls around the impact sites in fact bended before the collapse and other photographs and videos showed that  that the tops of the towers were tilting several degrees before they fell. That is fact. What is also fact is that even more videos and photos showed without any doubt that the actual collapse commenced around the impact point. Furthermore controlled demolitions will collapse from the bottom not from the top. The evidence clearly shows the towers collapsed from above the points of impact and then went on to pancake down onto the floors below them. Further the projector which has been proven shows the South tower didn’t collapse straight down it was only the North Tower that did.

The conspirators have assumed that evidence of fire in an elevator shaft or on the ground floor necessarily meant bombs were set off there. This assumes explosions had to have occurred there but evidence of fire is not and has never been by itself proof of bombs. Assuming bombs then caused the fire is a leap without evidence and this is what conspirators do. They leap to conclusions without evidence of cause and effect that there has been. What makes the controlled demolition theory unlikely is that we now the bottom floors did not collapse first. We also know from other demolition projects that have taken down buildings in controlled explosions that it takes weeks to place the explosives. When a building is prepped for explosives it is fact that any of the beams will be cut through by about 90% because the explosion itself once the beams are pre-cut only have break a small bit of steel and in so doing guarantee the path and pace of the fall. That well known knowledge of how controlled demos work would tell anyone you could not keep a building full and prep it like that without anyone noticing.

Well according to the conspirators they claim with the Towers filled with their people, no one, not one person noticed government agents preparing the demolition. They believe this which is another leap to conclusion not based on  fact but assumption that the agents were invisible because the CIA, the Department of Defense, and the Office of Emergency Management had offices in Building 7 and because photos of Building 7 show the three sides not damaged by the collapse of the North Tower. How ever there are photographs of the south side of the building, which crucially faced the North Tower, and show that this whole side was damaged and engulfed in smoke.

The fire departments and firemen at the scene and arson investigators are also all in on the conspiracy because they claim fire brought down the buildings. This is the problem with conspiracy theories. First they see CIA agents working invisibly, then the cast of people in on the deception grows until it covers firemen, police officers, victims of the actual tragedy. Imagine the thousands of firemen and policeman who died and the others now permanently injured or scarred for life or dying of lung cancer from the exposure all these years later-according to conspirators they are all either dupes and idiots or lying.

Now even if you were to suspend all logic and make a leap to decide bombs went off and the explosions as they call them were controlled, ask these conspirators what proof they have the bombs set off in the North Tower as they claim were NOT set off by al-Qaeda operatives. Why must it be the Bush regime? Read back the response to me. The thread starter on this thread lectures people who the real conspirator is-George Bush and his cronies with zero proof. But hey why start now and get any.

How about this fact- we know as a fact that with controlled demolitions, detonating devices will weaken the major support points in the  building being taken do wn at the SAME time. This necessarily means once the denotations go off and collapse begins, EVERY part of the building simultaneously in the same motion then free-falling to the ground. As I stated earlier in response to the freefall claim the footage of the collapses, clearly shows that the parts of the buildings above the plane impact points begin falling first, while the lower parts of the buildings remained at the initial stages  initially stationary.  As was also proven by the footage and I mentioned earlier the collapse of the South Tower, or Building 2 clearly shows that the tower never fell straight down and instead, this tower tilted toward the direction of the impact point, and then began to pancake downward with the top part of the building tilted at an angle. So this means not only was their no free fall but no possible way the demolition was controlled.

None-the-less the conspirators ignore these basic rules of how controlled demolition and physics work. Most importantly as the conspiracy theorist did is deny there were any aircraft that crashed into the buildings. He leaps to the conclusion again with no evidence that all the aircraft pictures are fake.

Well of course If they were not, if in fact aircraft did fly into the towers as so many reported and so much video and photographs show this would then explain why there was at difference in how the two  towers collapsed and that difference could be explained not by the nonsensical assumption of demolition because conspirators can’t tell the difference between top-down and bottom-up movement, but also because if different craft hit each tower this could explain that the different way each airplane struck the buildings led to the differences in how each collapsed.

What we now know is that the first plane flew in the North Tower  between the 94th to 98th floors, head on, making its way in almost  to the core of the building while the second jet collided into the South Tower between the 78th and 84th floors, but came in in at an angle, so it didn’t burrow or drill or dig in like the first craft but made a jagged angular motion that caused severe  structural damage to all of the entire northeast corner of the building.

Of course the conspirators would have you believe not only the fire departments that responded and investigated are in on the conspiracy with the Federal Aviation Authority and the hundreds of architects and reconstruction engineers who also examined the path and angles of each craft.

3. Melting Steel

The thread starter and 9-1l conspirators claim the steel would have needed to melt in order for the structure to collapse at the speed of a free-fall. Well some of us have explained there was no free fall or controlled demolition. There is also proof to indicate the temperature could not have become hot enough to melt steel. At best I t got hot enough to compromise the strength of the steel but certainly not melt it. .

Better still and if you want to ignore Impact who has tried to explain the fundamental properties of steel, just go to Journal of the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society, M.I.T.. There you will find Dr. Thomas Eager happy to explain that steel will lose 50 percent of its strength at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. As well if you had 90,000 liters of jet fuel  that after penetrating the tower(s) then ignited other combustible materials, i.e.,  rugs, curtains, furniture, and paper, which would then continue to  burn after the jet fuel was exhausted- this would  raise temperatures above 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit and spread the fire throughout the building it would not melt the steel.

There would however be temperature differentials of hundreds of degrees across single steel horizontal trusses which would cause them to sag, strain and leading to the splintering or fracturing of the angle clips that would have otherwise held them to the vertical columns. This would then explain that when one truss failed, there was then a domino effect with other trusses failing, the floor would collapse on the one below it and as each floor collapsed with the weight of the ones above it a pancaking effect  of collapse would have ensued.

There is zero proof of fire to prove het so hot it would melt steel. The conspirators claim  fused steel beams were not found because they were whisked away for recycling so quickly that they couldn't be examined properly. No one person would have noticed before they were taken away that they were fused. Not one because either they were all in on the conspiracy or all idiots. Clearly they say the removal as because of the need to cover up. Like most conspiracy theorists another obvious explanation can not be possible, i.e., there was no friggin evidence room big enough to hold the steel from two 1,300 foot-high buildings and a 47-story structure!

4. Nanothermites Were Used To Control the Demolitions

The written explaination, “ 9/11 and the Science of Controlled Demolitions “ by Chris Mohr explains in detail how nonsensical the controlled demolition theory is as is the assumption nanothermites were used:

He raised these issues that debunk this theory:

·         If 4500 degree nanothermites were used to pulverize almost every inch of every concrete floor, then how could there have been millions of sheets of paper with an ignition temperature of only 451° raining down on the sidewalks?

·         If 4500 degree nanothermites were used extensively even at the top to cause a supposed upward explosion, then why were first responders able to walk over the wreckage less than an hour after the Tower collapses?

·         If there were 2800 degree rivers of molten steel in the debris, then why do NASA thermal images show maximum temperatures in the rubble of only 1400°?

·         If the debris pile had 2800 degree temperatures, then why were firefighters able to pour millions of gallons of water all over it and not trigger the deadly thermal explosions that are caused when water comes in contact with molten steel or iron?

·         If nanothermites pulverized everything, then why did the debris pile include a 13-story high facade?

·         If classic controlled demolitions create minimal damage to adjacent structures, then why did the Verizon Building suffer $1.4 billion in damages?

·         If the lateral ejection of beams were caused by explosive nanothermites, then there would have been deafening 140 db sounds that can’t be muffled by more than a few db or you lose the explosive force of the shock wave itself.

·         If the South Tower tilted 22° at first, then controlled demolition experts could not have righted it mid-collapse.

·         If nanothermites were used, then they would have spontaneously detonated at well under 1000° F. and would not have been controllable; no signal receiving device could have survived the fires and continued to receive the destruct command.

·         If there had been large explosions prior to the collapse, then they would have been a part of the seismic record, and they were not.

Well some of us have explained there was no free fall or controlled demolition. There is also proof to indicate the temperature could not have become hot enough to melt steel.

Not a one of the scientists, architects, engineers, ... and me, who find great fault with the US official conspiracy theory and the notions its anti-truther supporters believes or "claim the steel would have needed to melt in order for the structure to collapse ... .

Rue: "There is also proof to indicate the temperature could not have become hot enough to melt steel".

That's precisely the point. Temperatures can never, ever become hot enough to melt steel, or molybdenum, or to vaporize steel and vaporize lead or create molten iron. 

But these molten metals were all there at WTC;  molten metals that never should or could have been at WTC. The alleged hijackers ONLY fuel, jet fuel, cannot reach temperatures close to the temperatures need to have melted these metals.

The following link shows pictures of vaporized steel. 

https://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/fema403_apc.pdf

The following link, below, describes the FEMA report in more detail.

I. Physical Evidence

I-A. The 2002 FEMA Report
 

New York Times journalist James Glanz, writing near the end of 2001 about the collapse of WTC 7, reported that some engineers said that a “combination of an uncontrolled fire and the structural damage might have been able to bring the building down,” but that this “would not explain,” according to Dr. Barnett, “steel members in the debris pile that appear to have been partly evaporated in extraordinarily high temperatures.” [13]
 

Glanz was referring to Jonathan Barnett, a professor of fire protection engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). Early in 2002, Barnett and two WPI colleagues published an analysis of a section of steel from one of the Twin Towers, along with sections from WTC 7, as an appendix to FEMA’s 2002 World Trade Center Building Performance Study. [14] Their discoveries were also reported in a WPI article entitled “The ‘Deep Mystery’ of Melted Steel,” which said:

“teel – which has a melting point of 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit [1538°C] – may weaken and bend, but does not melt during an ordinary office fire. Yet metallurgical studies on WTC steel brought back to WPI reveal that a novel phenomenon – called a eutectic reaction – occurred at the surface, causing intergranular melting capable of turning a solid steel girder into Swiss cheese.”

Stating that the New York Times called these findings “perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation,” the article added:

“A one-inch column has been reduced to half-inch thickness. Its edges – which are curled like a paper scroll – have been thinned to almost razor sharpness. Gaping holes – some larger than a silver dollar – let light shine through a formerly solid steel flange. This Swiss cheese appearance shocked all of the fire-wise professors, who expected to see distortion and bending – but not holes.” [15]

In discussing “the deepest mystery,” the New York Times story said: “The steel apparently melted away, but no fire in any of the buildings was believed to be hot enough to melt steel outright.” [16] That was an understatement, because a building fire, even with a perfect mixture of air and fuel, could at most reach 1,000°C (1,832°F). [17] In fact, Professor Thomas Eagar of MIT estimated that the fires were “probably only about 1,200 or 1,300°F [648 or 704°C].” [18]

There is currently a two year study of WTC7 being conducted at University of Alaska, Fairbanks. It is scheduled for total completion in May 2017. The study is essentially finished and in preliminary reports, the lead professor/engineer said, when asked by a lawyer, and I paraphrase,

Professor: Zero.

Yes, Richard Gage's truther organization has funded a couple of grad students to do some finite element analysis of WTC 7. We will see what they conclude when they actually write their reports. So far the only thing I have seen is the data model for their analysis, and I am not about to download a multi-gigabyte dataset for some software I don't have nor the computer resources to run it on. At least this is a step forward for the truthers, it wasn't long ago that one of Gage's prominent "researchers" (Stephen Jones) was making statements like Building 7 was not even mentioned in the 9/11 Commission's reports.  Gage liked to repeat that claim, until it was pointed out to him that if he indeed had read the reports he was criticizing he would find that WTC 7 was in fact discussed.

"heat", yes indeed, heat that reached thousands of degrees above the melting point of steel, a heat that had no legal/legitimate reason for being there. A heat that was provided by nanothermite, which the alleged hijackers had no access to, it being a US developed [Lawrence Livermore Lab] in the 1990s, US patented, non-commercially available, high grade US military explosive.

• The Report contains no mention of the interview in which the owner of Building 7 states that he and the Fire Department decided to "pull" Building 7 -- an apparent admission of a conspiracy to destroy the building and its contents.
• The Report fails to mention the rapid removal and recycling of the structural steel from the collapsed World Trade Center buildings, even to make excuses for it.
• The Report makes no mention of a statement by then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to Peter Jennings indicating he had foreknowledge of the collapses: "We were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse, and it did collapse before we could get out of the building."
• The Report contains no mentions of eyewitness accounts of explosions preceding the collapse of South Towers.
• The Report fails to mention that George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, and his cousin, Wirt Walker III, were principals in the company that had the contract to provide security for the World Trade Center, Stratesec, nor does it mention the company.
• The Report makes no mention of the fact that a new lessor took control of the World Trade Center complex just six weeks before the attack, obtained an insurance policy covering terrorist attacks, and successfully sued the insurance companies to obtain twice the multi-billion-dollar value of the policy.
• The Report repeats the list of 19 suspects identified by the FBI within days of the attack, while failing to mention that six of them reported themselves alive after the attack.
• The Report fails to mention any of the reports of behavior by the alleged hijackers before the attack that belie the official story that they were devout Muslims on a suicide mission for Allah.
• The Report fails to mention that the published passenger lists contained no Arab names -- a fact publicized by skeptics of the official story.
• The Report fails to ask why the plane that crashed into the Pentagon was not stopped by anti-aircraft missile batteries that presumably ring the building.
• The Report fails to mention that no credible footage of the Pentagon attack has been made public, despite public knowledge that the FBI seized footage of the attack from nearby businesses.
• The Report does not ask why the Secret Service did not obtain air cover for the President's motorcade from the Sarasota school to the airport, nor for Air Force One, which took off at about 9:54, until about 11:10.
• The Report avoids mentioning several reports that government officials and business leaders received warnings and avoided targets of the attacks, including:
  • A warning by the FBI advising Attorney General John Ashcroft to avoid flying on commercial airlines.
  • The report that Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans the evening before the attack.
  • A warning to San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown to avoid flying.
  • The grounding of Salman Rushdie by Scotland Yard.
• The Report avoids mentioning a warning received by employees of Odigo hours before the attack.
• The Report does not mention that letters with weaponized anthrax were sent to the two most powerful senators attempting to slow the passage of the 9/11/01 attack-predicated USA PATRIOT Act.
• The Report states that the Commission was "chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks," but fails to mention that it makes no attempt to meet its charter.

• The Report states that the Commission was "chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks," but fails to mention that it makes no attempt to meet its charter.
