Well I´m quite sure redhot melting steel in the bottom of the building doesn´t fit if the fires were higher and not hot enough to melt steel. But of course I might be wrong, better stick to the official story as always. LIES Also I love how all those who buy the official story are more expert on how huge ass burning buildings should properly topple down | ||

I'd say who, how and what for exactly, but i don't want to talk about that, it's all very obvious and pretty widely known and it isn't really a conspiracy, but your tv, newspapers and internet news won't give you clues, and it's for a reason. And it will probably be better to tag my post as dumb and move on, as most will do. lol | ||

The world trade center was designed to take hits from Boeing 707 which is similar to Boeing 767 in mass which was the plane that crashed into the building. If you understand anything about structural engineering, you would be amazed at how much novel safeguards and design elements were put in place to strengthen and to protect the building. World trade center was among the first to use the steel structure, with rigid steel beams, also it used rigid hollow tube of closely packed steel columns with floor trusses around the core (centre) of the building. In plain English, it's like a mosquito net and the planes being struck in the building is like a pen you poke through the net. Steel structures like bridges and buildings are typically designed to withstand five times anticipated static loads and 3 times anticipated dynamic loads. By anticipates loads, we are talking worst case scenarios, like earthquakes and hurricanes. It is also designed to withstand fire. When it comes to the design of WTC, far more greater measure was taken. If the claim that it was destroyed by fire were true, then it would probable be the only steel framed skyscraper ever to have collapsed exclusively due to fire. You can examine other similar cases for modern sky scrappers and you would not find a precedent. Moreover the free-fall of the building and the Squibs that appear at regular intervals about 10 floors below demolition waves are all signs of controlled demolition. It is not really possible for a "gravitational collapse" to proceed so destructively through a path of such great resistance. P.S Operation Northwood has indeed taken place in 1962's and while JFK has opposed the plan, JFK was assassinated in 1963. I would not know as to if there was any linkage between the two, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was. | ||

And the whole conspiracy theory is insane, people believing that it was a missile that hit the pentagon etc. ridiculous lol. | ||

The US government supported the mujahideen that were indigenous to Afghanistan in the war with the USSR. Even if weapons had gone to foreign mujahideen in Afghanistan, it would be disingenuous to claim that they worked for the US. | ||

And the whole conspiracy theory is insane, people believing that it was a missile that hit the pentagon etc. ridiculous lol. I advise you to read this. Excepting the three 9-11 collapses, no fire, however severe, has ever caused a steel-framed high-rise building to collapse. Following are examples of high-rise fires that were far more severe than those in WTC 1 and 2, and Building 7. http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/compare/fires.html | ||

Are you trolling? They're actually debating verifiable facts. If one side was saying that you get HIV by having sex with an infected person and the other side was saying that you get HIV by, say, overexposure to mercury, would you just go "hmm well these both sound about equally plausible, I'm just gonna randomly decide which one is right"? Of course, you would not. You would compare both sides' arguments and counterarguments and then decide what makes the most sense. If you actually did your research, you would find that the counter-conspiracists are to refute pretty much every conspiracist argument. If the conspiracists say that the explosion and fires wouldn't have caused a high enough temperature to cause the steel girders to melt in order to allow a collapse, and then you have the counter-conspiracists stating that, while the temperature indeed was not high enough to cause steel to melt, it was high enough to cause loss of structural integrity to a sufficient degree to allow for the girders to collapse (which is a simple, physical fact), then there's simply nothing more to say. Argument destroyed, counter-conspiracists win, GG. On November 26 2009 22:01 ktp wrote: I think this is true on both sides, people are going to read what they want to hear anyway. I use to be believe in the official story, but then I read a lot of conspiracy websites and it changed my perspective on things. I don't think anyone can deny that governments in the past have exploited tragedy for their personal gains. It's been documented but never really talked about. Thats the thing that really struck out at me. I've always trusted my intuition, and when I put the pieces together, I always get the feeling that something doesn't make sense. I completely understand why people would laugh at the idea that there would bombs in the buildings, it does sound a little ridiculous and over the top. But I don't think those details are important in a debate like this. I think what is more important is the fact that our government exploited a tragic event in order to go to war. This is what disturbs me the most. What I don't understand is how many, many people fail to follow a path of reason when it comes to 9/11. This is how it should go: OK, so 9/11 happened. We're told that it was a terrorist act. Oh, now people are saying it might have been a conspiracy. Well, let's check out their arguments. *reads* Wow, pretty compelling. I guess it could possibly have been an inside job. This merits further attention. Let's see if there are any counterarguments. Oh, there are. *reads* Hm, those actually did a fantastic job of rebutting the conspiracy arguments. Let's see what the conspiracists have to say to that. Oh, nothing at all. Case closed then, the counter-conspiracists are right. This is how it actually goes: OK, so 9/11 happened. We're told that it was a terrorist act. Oh, now people are saying it might have been a conspiracy. Well, let's check out their arguments. *reads* Wow, pretty compelling. Must have been an inside job. Case closed then, the conspiracists are right. Then, they like to think that they're open-minded and Not Afraid To Ask The Tough Questions, when really they're close-minded for skipping the last few crucial steps. Also, you're right in stating that what's really worrying about the whole situation is how, once 9/11 happened, the Bush administration simply tried to figure out a completely immoral way of turning it into economic and political gain.

Yeah, see how it easy it is to find convincing counterarguments? Would you still think that the collapse of building 7 was due to a controlled explosion? I never even understood that argument in the first place. It wouldn't make sense even if there was a conspiracy. Why would they bring down a building that wasn't hit by one of the planes? Apart from looking completely suspicious, there's simply no further gain in bringing down an additional building. It's not like the public is going to be even more shocked that WTC 7 went down along with the twin towers. Scenario A: "Oh my God, did you hear? Terrorists took down the twin towers!" - "Hm, that's pretty bad, I guess." *shrug* Scenario B: "Oh my God, did you hear? Terrorists took down the twin towers AND building seven!" - "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. LETS BOMB THE SHIT OUT OF IRAQ ASAP." | ||

I'm no expert though of course so I can't say with 100% certainty | ||

No it isn´t insane, if they say one of the planes turned into a rabbit midair, that would be insane. If you think you have the ability to tell what is true and real feel free to enlighten others too, the world would be a much happier place and you would be made into a world leader, might even score a lotta chicks too. Please people try use words like maybe, possibly and probably more than words like is, true and definitely. Also we are talking about people who believe their presidents know some invisible mans (=Gods) will, that´s quite insane too. And that jetfuel probably didn´t have that much effect on anything. E. ![[image loading]](http://aaronhollman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Empirestate540.jpg) I´m still waiting this one to come down neatly, god damn it´s 40 years older design too...

He was actually Brazilian and he knew what he was talking about, he didn't just say "it should have collapsed" he went through the entire thing showing his working and explaining every detail of it. And I imagine the Empire State Building didn't go down when it got hit by a plane because that plane was much smaller and travelling much slower. | ||

You're bringing in semantics and the fact that President Obama believes in god as your arguments? Very convincing. + Show Spoiler + Obama believes in God! You know who else believes in God? Muslims. You know what a lot of Muslims are? Terrorists. Thus, Obama = Terrorist. QED Also, you are correct. The 90000L of jet fuel burning at 700 degrees celsius probably didn't do anything. | ||
