"Oh all my YouTube videos were refuted? No problem, I can spam another."

You aren't an authority on which YouTube videos we should watch, as none of the ones you've picked so far were even remotely plausible.
No, nice attempt to try and somehow dismiss youtube videos altogether??? lol Watch whichever ones you want, but you have firefighters hearing explosions going off, they can't be discounted, no matter which video(s) you watch.

When your first several attempts were refuted you lost the YouTube debate and spamming more of them isn't going to help you.
According to your opinion, but in my opinion, they weren't debunked. I'm not spamming them, again, your opinion. Truth hurts bothers you maybe?
But it could also be an appeal to ignorance on your part.

Stuff blows up when a building is on fire, nobody is discounting what people heard. But also that "theory" doesn't make any sense either. Your claim is there was thermite on the 77th floor. No one would have heard shit at ground level. Whatever they heard wasn't 77 floors up! So whatever it was they heard, it's not your military grade container full of thermite.
I'm not passing any of my theories, I'm passing what people heard (firefighters = explosions), what people saw and found at the site (firefighters = molten lava, residual matter with thermite).
Again, appealing to some ignorance.



"The ground level fireballs make sense, however, when we consider what Mark Loizeaux--the president of Controlled Demolition Inc.--has said:
"If I were to bring the towers down, I would put explosives in the basement to get the weight of the building to help collapse the structure."
http://shoestring911.blogspot.com.co/2007/12/ground-level-fireballs-disprove.html

Hmmm, firefighters said they heard explosions as did your average citizen.

People hearing explosions, remember the guys at 3:58 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfxkcBmZfK0

As for WTC1 and WTC2 there's no reason whatsoever to think they should have collapsed so that's just a dumb argument. Lots of buildings don't collapse. Duh.
Yes, and none in the history of modern day have collapsed due to office fires?

I note that you keep trying to switch to criticizing NIST when you have not even established a credible theory of your own. You maybe think it's fun throwing random accusations but you can't do the heavy lifting: to have an argument you need an alternate theory that is better, and your theory just sucks.
I notice that a lot of your arguments are appealing to ignorance, "well NASA officials say they have never seen aliens nor have any aliens visited earth, therefore, aliens don't exist".
Right?


As for credible theory there's a NIST guy who denied ever seeing or hearing of any stories of molten lava found at the site, yet there are FIREFIGHTERS who said they saw it with their own eyes.

Already addressed. The exterior of the building carried much of the buildings load. They would have had to thermite the exterior and that would have been obvious to anyone looking at the windows or would have required ripping up the floors to install. The claims are that the thermite was ignited log after the planes impacted but the impact and fires would have ignited them early.
How many times have you driven by a construction site and seen them tearing things up, then stopping to ask them what they're doing?
Now if you have, like I have (to satiate my own curiosity), got your answer and walked away saying "interesting" or "oh ok".
Did you ever go in an inspect to see the work they're doing? Probably not, because you know for certain they'd tell you "what are you doing? get off the site/premises! etc. "

Or did you take them for face value, like what the majority of people do when they see a "crew" working on a site, walk by and go on with their lives.

What about the explosions heard near the ground floor? Would the planes have triggered some kind of explosion which was heard down below as well?

I posted a actual scientific study on tensile characteristics of structural steel at temperatures. At even a few hundred degrees structural steel loses a significant amount of strength. Considering the added loads that the damage from the planes shifted to the remaining structure there is no way the weakened steel could have even supported its own weight let alone the load from the floors above.
I'll go ahead with your "actual" scientific study and match you with Dr. Steven Jones - an expert in thermite who found "nano-thermitic" evidence at the site.
http://investigate911.org/
"After a rigorous peer-review process, their paper was published in the Bentham Chemical Physics Journal, which has been endorsed by Nobel Laureates and is respected within the scientific community."
I'm hoping this passes in your eyes as an "actual scientific study" as well.

Yep, none of the office workers would have noticed that.



This has to be one of the craziest and anti-science claims that the conspiracy theorists keep trying. Structural steel loses tensile strength as it heats. I even posted a study that shows that by the temperatures from a jet fuel fire, the steel would have had its strength reduced by over 90%. But sure, don't bother with actual science when youtube videos will do!
The conspiracy promoters point to other structural steel buildings that were lost in fires but did not collapse however, I point out that the construction of the WTC towers was different. They don't care to compare apples to oranges.

That did not happen.

As even pointed out by Basketcase's intuitive observation that the falling loose debris fell faster than the collapsing building, which proves that they did not fall at the rate of free fall.

Other's have measured the rate of descent based on the video, and it is not at the free fall rate.


{I'm not a disbeliever of conspiracies, but I doubt that the WTC catastrophe was a controlled demolition}.

Yes. I am dismissing your bullshit YouTube videos. You have had many of these videos refuted and there is no reason to believe that your source is credible. It's just a stream of bullshit from fake experts who don't have any fucking clue what they are talking about. Random videos on YouTube are NOT credible.

lol Watch whichever ones you want, but you have firefighters hearing explosions going off, they can't be discounted, no matter which video(s) you watch.
Stuff blows up in any building fire. So what?

According to your opinion, but in my opinion, they weren't debunked.
Yes they were. By multiple posters, and in some cases very thoroughly. Once the first few were totally discredited there's no reason to believe the next one.

What's your M.O. here? Each time one of your nonsense videos is disproven just go find another? Try to "win" by wearing everybody out with spam?

"If I were to bring the towers down, I would put explosives in the basement to get the weight of the building to help collapse the structure."
Up thread that theory was disproven. We know the building did NOT collapse from the basement. We know for an absolute fact that it collapsed from the impact floor. This guy you are quoting is a fucking idiot, as anybody with eyes can see in any video that the building collapsed from the impact floors, not the basement.

(Fuji, I noticed you didn't mention WTC 7 again, funny)
Your WYC7 theory was annihilated. People saw the building buckling, firefighters knew it was about to collapse, there's no mystery at all.

Now stop spamming us. Coming up with yet one more theory after all your others were disproved is childish.

You lost the debate above, your main points were refuted. Coming back with different points and alleging a different conspiracy is spamming.

Stick to one theory and when it's disproven go away.

Bingo.

"The ground level fireballs make sense, however, when we consider what Mark Loizeaux--the president of Controlled Demolition Inc.--has said:
"If I were to bring the towers down, I would put explosives in the basement to get the weight of the building to help collapse the structure."
http://shoestring911.blogspot.com.co...-disprove.html

Italian lawyer-turned physicist Alberto Miatello believes in a controlled demolition at the base because he figures that the debris pile would've been larger without one, although he measured the rate of descent and it is not free fall.

I disagree with him on his controlled-demolition point because the debris field was spread out over 16 acres. [Edit: I note Fuji's point that the collapse occurred at the point of impact - good one].

American Professional Engineer Tony Szambotti believes it was a controlled demolition. I disagree with him but haven't studied his reasoning at length. I respect him because he meticulously debunked the notion that JFK's backward movement was attributable to a so-called "Jet Effect" theory, which another investigator has proven also false. (IOW, JFK reacted to a shot from the front, ergo murder conspiracy and not a lone nut like Oswald).

How does a building that wasn't hit by anything at all, come down like a stack of cards? Can someone explain this to me?
We've discussed this at length before in another thread.

Building 7 was hit by falling sections of one of the WTC towers. It had a multi-floor gash in it's structure, not to mention raging fires which caused the building to buckle. The firefighters used a transit level to measure the bulge in the side of the building, and knew that it would collapse. That's how they decide whether to send in more firefighters or not.

That's correct.

Only the World Trade Centre had an external exoskeleton. Having done forming work myself, it was a major design flaw. Usually the exoskeleton is built around the elevator shafts out, this allows the building some give without compromising the structure. An external exoskeleton has less give but on paper should be stronger - if not collided into by a large object. When the jets hit, it compromised the exoskeleton. The blasts heated the supporting joist beyond their factor of safety. As they cooled the joists became brittle and inevitably gave way.

The structural plan was sound if the building is not collided into. What I don't know is, were the inner supporting columns filled with a fire retardant foam or where they left hollow to save money. And what type of metal were the angle clips made of? It was the angle clips giving out that caused the domino collapse. In a perfect world the angle clips should be an alloy of low carbon steel and nickel - obviously this is not what was used at the WTC. Again to cut cost.
There was a spray-on fire retardant on the support beams. An office fire on the floor would have encountered this insulation and under any 'perceivable' circumstances lasted long enough to allow firefighters to extinguish the fire. The initial explosion on impact of the plane blew off the insulation and the resulting prolonged inferno eventually took care of the rest.

Excellent guys. Just reading this thread now as I was vacationing in Italy during the anniversary.

Respectfully and not to be a smartass but nobody owes you an explanation or demonstration that you can understand or accept. Where would it stop?

Once someone goes down the path of conspiracy theories, it is almost impossible to get them off their initial feelings and beliefs. It becomes a personal matter. And people who rely on their feelings and are susceptible to conspiracy theories are not generally the type are swayed by logic or explanations. And certainly not science that they don't really understand.

The foregoing is not meant to be insulting, although I can see that it could easily be taken that way.

Belief or predispositions to things like conspiracy theories are actually natural in the process of evolution. Here is an excellent article that might help people understand why some people are so predisposed to conspiracy theories.

https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4264

Not all conspiracy theories are wacky.

Conspiracies do exist.

When it comes to the JFK Assassination, I'm a conspiracy realist. The weight of circumstantial evidence and the fallibility of the so-called Warren Commission conclusions easily points to a murder conspiracy and cover-up (the latter two can be independent acts and not a product of a massive, far-reaching conspiracy).

When it comes to 9/11, I do not believe in a controlled-demolition conspiracy.

Thanks for the link Surly Dane.

^There's your smoking gun. An external spray is not the best solution when dealing with a terrorist catastrophe. And I suspect that the support columns were never resprayed after construction, but I don't know this. The insulating foam would have desiccated over time if not resprayed. Since they were hollow, the expansion of the support columns and the buckling of the exoskeleton proves too much for the angle clips. All it took was one to give out and eventually the building was doomed.
I think the 9/11 report said that the explosive impact of the planes and the resultant jet-fuelled fires were too much for the spray on retardent.

The point is that melted iron is expected when a building like that comes down, and therefore isn't evidence of any conspiracy.

You can calculate how much energy was released by the that much mass falling that far and work out with highschool physics that the resulting heat would be enough to melt any metal known to man.

Video or pics of some molten hot metal also was found to be melting or combustible batteries in a battery or computer room, which have a lower melting point.

To me it sure looks like burning paper and debris being forced out of the building by air pressure.

If this was thermite:
1) How come nobody noticed it installed near the windows?
2) How would thermite on that one beam (out of hundreds of weight bearing exterior beams) cause a collapse?
Right.

http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a6384/debunking-911-myths-world-trade-center/

The Debunking site is offline for some reason, but it had a report that the molten metal you see dripping in your photo above was probably melting batteries in a computer room.

I would strongly caution people against the concept that peer reviewed journals means it is credible.

The peer may not be qualified to completely dissect the paper.

The peer maybe bribed.

The peer might not be rigorous.

The peer might have an agenda.

Scientists have published stuff claiming cigarettes and certain types of foods were safe. Sure that was a long time ago but let's not pretend that can't happen today.

True!

You seem to be forgetting Newton's 3rd law. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Regardless of how much time it took for the the top of the building to reach to ground, free fall is "9.8 seconds in a vacuum"
Free-fall with air resistance is damn close to the actual time of between 12-15 seconds.
19 stories of the North Tower went through the bottom 91 stories, "path of greatest resistance", like a hot knife through butter.

You should read the paper that Szamboti helped with, you can see his math for yourself.

But in order to do what you are saying, it would take demolition on the lower stories.

So, now were back to installing 30,000 lbs (15 imperial ton) of thermite - unnoticed - and then controlling the firing of it, assuming all the jet fuel and everything else going on in the building didn't affect the firing sequences or anything.

In addition to that, how many people are conspirators......how are they being kept quiet? I guess none of them have a moral code because they killed a lot of people.
