She said DEBRIS fell on 6, not the TOWER fell on 6. There was a LOT of debris that fell that day, from the supports, the planes, the offices etc. It's entirely possible that some of the debris fell onto WTC 6 and caused that giant hole.

Read Elaine Chao's talk carefully. The first plane hit WTC 1 causing debris to fall onto WTC 6, but not causing the crater. The employees immediately began evacuating the building. When they were outside, WTC 2 was hit by the second plane. The employees did not wait outside from 9:03AM till 10:28AM watching WTC 1 collapse. The employees at OSHA witnessed the destruction of WTC 6 building seconds after the second plane hit WTC 2.

The trajectory looks wrong for the damage that was done to the building. From the angle that the "object" is leaving the building the damage to WTC 6 should have been angled into the ground from the top, but from the pics I saw it went straight down from top to bottom. At the time and location of those pics, if it was a missile then it should have already started to change its trajectory in the pics so that it was curving to dive straight into the building.

If it WAS an A2A missile that hit, then there would have had to have already been damage inside to cause a MUCH bigger secondary explosion. Most A2A missiles only have maybe 20 pounds of explosive in the warhead. 20 pounds of explosive isn't going to cause the giant hole that appeared in the building.

I agree the missile does not appear to be heading toward WTC 6. Instead, this missile may have hit the southwest corner of WTC 7. Two fighters were dispatched from Otis and presumably were on the scene.

Also the fighters may have been at an elevation considerably above the towers and shot downward toward the second hijacked plane. When the second plane hit WTC 2 the missile may have simply fell without any direction. I will leave it to experts to debate missile targeting and the type of explosive needed to create the crater in WTC 6.

For those who have Eric Hufschmid book "Painful Questions" available, look to page 93, Fig 8-7. In the photo you will see a US Customs official looking at the inside of WTC 6 into the center of the crater. Directly to his left is a steel beam twisted like a pretzel. Only a powerful blast from the inside would have caused the twisting of the steel beam, not falling debris.

"Hmmm actually I was referring to our friend Howard, you're just a Troll."

Uhmm....if you w'r standing in front of me, I bet you would not call me a "TROLL"....


"You have bought nothing to this discussion that even remotely explains what happened on 9-11, yet you spout off like you know everything. "

Uhmmm....again.....when did I say I know everything???????? I've always said that we need "STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS" at the table to discuss this topic...and only then....so you and I don't know the effects of planes and fire on building structures "SIMPLE"

Saying "I am in construction" and "Go Howard your da man" does not have a whole lot of credibility on this site, sorry. I have far more respect for Howard, at least he puts some effort in even if it is in vain.

OK....I was trying to stress that yes I have been designing mechanical systems for buildings (many, many high rises) for 20 years +....and I do think my views, have "some" input into this topic.....(and sir....what do you have ??? Hmmmm......oh y'a y'r views are LAW )

"Bring me a scientific explanation of the WTC collapse, that I can't find holes in, then maybe you'll get some respect."

(Dam...y'r so HIGH on YOURSELF...maybe you should re-word that man)

Why is it the only post I made that you answered to was this last one? (uhmm....maybe you just answered y'r own question...maybe what you brought up was so dumb and crazy)

I have asked you numerous questions about the WTC topic and you have ignored them. This tells me you have no idea what you're talking about, and cannot answer the questions. (as above....prob. just crazy things you w'r bringing up/and or already been discussed)

Agent, yeah sure...If you are an agent then damn this counties in a worse state than I thought... (y'a your Crazy leader is worse then you thougth)

Maybe if you spent some time studying government tactics you wouldn't be so quick to blindly support them. They poisoned thousands of their troops, using us as guinea pigs for testing vaccines. Many have died, and many including me are sick.
Don't trust the government, they'll stop at nothing to achieve their gaols of power and control.
(Def. agree with you on this point....just look at your CRAZY leader caused so much death and as per your own words even kills it's own troops)


Y'r Canadian friend,

isn't that along the flightpath of the engine that flew onto the streets ?

Hmm, after looking at the video footage again, something is indeed flying along that same path, but much slower however, indicating it's just a piece of debris.

What I meant by anomaly is, might as well be an insect flying there.
Especially because it's the only footage showing something that moves that fast. You might as well call it a ufo..

There's just too many questions involved with it so I'm not gonna touch it

What is the opinion of this I have seen it around for some time now but no one has really commented on it, except for the UFO people.
Is it a hoax, one hell of a fast mover, I have know idea.



slowed to one third speed

No, the streaking object was going east to west at a 90 degree angle to the flight path of the second plane. The engine that flew off the second plane came out of WTC 2 and landed in a north-eastern trajectory path.

This is significant footage. We are looking from the north-west and we see the second hijacked plane coming from the south and hitting WTC 2. I think the high speed image is a fighter. However, this fighter is coming west to east. This would have been a third fighter to have appeared on the scene since the two fighters from Otis would have been arriving from the east.

I think that's a bird ..

No fighter in the world can make that turn.

That is not a bird shroomery, it's too big to be a bird judging by the size of it. Plus even professional pilots have said that those two jets went beyond their software compatability. If the planes weren't flown by remote control, then why did the German flagship carrier take the FCSs off of their aircraft a few years before the attack?

Actually, I don't think you can really judge its size because it's hard to tell how far away it is from the camera. You can see, though, that it passes in front of the buildings, so its between the buildings and the camera, and therefore not necessarily proportionate to what's behind it.

I think it's clearly a bird.
It's infront of the buildings which places it in the foreground. That explains it's size and illusion of speed.
Watch it's movement, it runs along a corrugated path as birds do, raising it's body up when the wings down and dropping it's body down when the wings are up, this creates a corrugated flight pattern along it's straight path.
At the end it turns sharply. It's wings open out to catch the air so it can turn and you can see it's shape change from a side view to a back view with wings out.

That's a bird without question. I wish it was something else but it ain't.
There's so many avenues to prove 9/11 was meant to go down as it did without looking at blurry animated gifs. The conspiracy is in the business.

Roark considering the size and proportions of the WTC tower complex, yes, a footprint collapse. Nice try though, some pictures of leaning post-collapse rubble really shows the trivality of arguing with you on the WTC Demolition. Damn the explosions, full speed ahead.
