The seeming impossibility of rigging 3 building ala controlled demo without being noticed has always been a major flaw in the inside job theory. When asking this question in other threads, the topic always gets changed so I thought a thread dedicated to it would force a bit of focus.

So here's the question.
Knowing what is known about CDs and the process and steps that MUST be taken in order for a CD to take place, how was it done without raising suspicion?

For clarity and focus, I don't mean was there opportunity..or was there motivation..or were there plans in the past that suggested deception.

I mean HOW was it done?..the physical steps involved in doing it. After all..this is the beating heart of the theory..if the buildings could not have been rigged, the whole theory is shot in the azz.

For all you true believers, please enlighten me..I'm curious as to how you think it was done.

I believe it could have quite easily have been done over a period of time.
It didn't have to be done all at once. Government operations are usualy planned well ahead of the operation.

With a bush on the board of the company supplying security and a building owner, silverstein, in on the plan it wouldn't be that difficult to by-pass security.

Power down the week before 9-11, doing the finishing touches?

I'm just guessing because to me how it was done is not that important, the physics of the collapse is enough to convince me it was done.

HA HA HA!Bush left in June 2000,and Stein only got the LEASE rescent.BOoohh!!
Bush also was on "the board"did not contrll anything.TeeHeeHee!Also not only security on the two buildings!As far as being done at once,It was two planes at diff times!!!!!Who has substantiated this power down ,besides" the mystery of Scott Forbes"??????????????????????

Well..sure didn't take long to get off topic.

ANOK..whether you want to believe it or not how it was done is absolutely critical to having the theory even approach believability.

Yes, In a nonlinear way,.... off topic.Still think it is in the paradigm,however.The statements are about these folks ability to do this BS in the thread!I refute that!I hope!This is an exponential nite mare of Con's!The thermite/mate!HA! The explosives,"BOMBS", eye witness acconts are ,simili,out of context ,nonsense! Called explosions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what Duhh? Like I said who knows when the explosives were set?
Could have been in 2000....And could have been finished when silverstein took over ownership.

And great reply btw, you really know how to bring mature discusion to ATS
And pleeease could you learn to use the space bar, trying to read your posts is a pain.

And Vushta, no I don't believe knowing how it was done is that relevant. You have to admit it could have been done right?
It's not an impossiblity...

Again as far as I'm concerned the physics is more important than all the why's and how's. This is just a distraction imo. You know we can only guess, the only ppl who know how it was done was those that did it.

You do believe there are pyramids in Egypt right? Do you know how they got there?
See my point?

Well no. I don't admit it could have been done. Not at all. I'm claiming it to be an impossibility.

Yes the pyraminds are there. Do I know how they got there? Yes. They were built and I'm sure hundreds of thousands of people saw it being done.

Are you admitting that you can't even imagine how it was done..but you're convinced it was?

On what grounds is it impossible? You have not convinced me it would be immpossible at all. You just don't want to believe it was done.

No you don't know how they got there, no one does, there are only theories and none of them have been proved. Of course they were built, not the point I was trying to make.

Are you admitting that you can't even imagine how it was done..but you're convinced it was?

Did I say that? No, I offered a plausable explanation, my guess. It's just like I already said I don't think it matters right now, pls learn to read so I don't have to keep repeating myself.

This thread is pointless...You don't have to prove how something was done to know it was.

wasnt the power down in one tower?

and not the whole tower?

i just wonder how one being partially down accounts for the other...

Blatant....it doesnt.

Anok, you dont wire a building with explosives and then let it set for MONTHS. For crying out loud, the building inspectors had been through the towers not that long before 9/11. They would have noticed. Oh yeah.....more conspirators right?

This may be slightly off topic but building seven was pulled(controlled demolition) because of a few fires. To bring down a building by controlled demolition takes usually takes days of planning and so forth and building seven was "pulled" a couple hours after the attacks so....logic dictates that the explosives used to "pull" building 7 were planted before the attacks took place. That hurt to type because I would like to believe our leaders are good people but if I were asked if I thought they would go to heaven should they die right now I guess I would say no. I'm not passing judgement, just saying that if certain individuals within the government had a hand in 9/11 it would not surprise me because "I" don't consider them good people, e.g. Rumsfeld. or Herbert. I hope I'm wrong though. nice thread BTW

You are making the false assumption that pulling referred to controlled demolition, it does not. What they were speaking of was the fire company that was making preliminary steps into WTC 7. Pull it, meant pull the fire company out of the building. Nothing more, nothing less.

You have proof of this? Because if you do you are the only one who has.
It's not nothing more, nothing less, it's just your opinion.

I know it's only my, and many others, opinion but "pull it' and the context it was said in makes more sense to mean demo the building.

Theres were no fire fighters in the building for hours before the collapse, so who did they 'pull'?
There was an FBI agent in the building when it fell, did he miss the order to 'pull it', or was that what he was doing at the time, making him miss the order?
Since when does the owner of a building make decisions for the fire department?
Since when does the fire dept get referred to as 'it'?
To 'pull' is industry jargon for taking down a building.
The word 'pull' was used in the PBS documentary referring to the taking down of WTC 6. "Hello? Oh, we're getting ready to pull building six." A construction worker.

Take all that into consideration, along with the obvious squibs seen, the perfect symmetrical collapse into it's own footprint at near free-fall speed, and to me it's seems pretty obvious 'pull it' meant the building, not the fire fighters.

Also do you have proof of this 20 story hole in the building? Another one no has been able to prove. The fires were not as big as claimed either, where are the pics of these huge fires?
Building 6 had more damage than 7, it didn't fall.

ANOK, if you had read Swampfox's post you would see that he posted links to his proof (being the eyewitness accounts of the firefighters at the scene). But wait, I forgot, so called firefighters are paid employees of a government agency (albeit a New York City government agency with NY state accreditation) and are therefore probably in on the conspiracy, right? Sorry, for getting off topic Vushta. That last post kinda just stuck in my craw in a bad way. ANOK, I haven't seen you link to any evidence yet, but I will in the interest of being fair I will be willing to be objective to evidence of your side. Sorry, for taking out my frustrations on you. Please, in the words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"

So if I understand it correctly, it's not important whether the rigging of the buildings with explosives for a CD was possible? Or to know how it would be possible? I understand, it could ruin a good CT, isn't it?

So during a power off in ONE tower (and not even in the entire tower) they've managed to rig BOTH towers and a WTC7?

As usual you're just being silly. The rigging of the building was possible, it's just your opinion that it wasn't.

We only have a report of one power down, see gooses' post above, I'm sure there were more. A building as big as the WTC are filled with thousands of ppl who don't know each other from Adam.
They are often filled with repair men etc...Who would pay attention to someone who was doing 'electrical' repairs or using other such cover to plant the explosives?
Especially if thermate was used...

I can't find the pics, but they're on ATS somewhere, of thermate sticks (not sure the correct name) but no one would know what they were. They look like electric cables or something. Your average office worker wouldn't even pay attention to them.

I'm not a bomb expert, but it can be possible that the bombs could be place inside objects like trash cans, one of those big plant pots etc... with a receiver or someting along certain points of the building....
