Also, security on 9/11 was not run by Bush's relative. Another farce. It was years previous he was involved but people still want to throw it around as fact..

If a 4 story building made of steel can collapse then it shows that if the lower part of a structure was weakened as in the WTC that is would not be able to support the top part of the structure and collapse as it did.

Umm I believe there was a report that stated that weeks prior to 9/11 the buildings where being swept by security teams, which was considered unusual. I however at this time have no evidence to back this up, nor do I have the time at this current moment to look it up. Sleep time for me.
KT: Why were you working the weekend before 9/11?
SF: Because of a "power down" notified by the Port Authority. Power was being switched off for a 36hr period in the top half of tower and as I work for a Financial Institution and Bank in the Technology Group I was working on the shutdown and eventually the startup of all our systems.
KT: Was it unusual for you to be working on the weekend?
SF: I suppose at that time I would have been working one weekend in every 6 or 8 weeks, so it was not unheard of. Working in Technology you get used to working 'out of business hours.' I guess what was odd about this weekend was that as all power was going down then all of our systems were being shutdown. This was extreme and unprecedented.
KT: During all this time, how many times did the WTC have a "power down"?
SF: None in Tower 2 that I was aware of. We had a backup Generator for our Data Center on floor 97 in the event of an unplanned power outage but it had not been used during my time in the company. You have to understand how unprecedented the power down was. To shutdown all of our financial systems, all inter-related and with connections and feeds to may outside vendors and suppliers was a major piece of work. Additionally, the power outage meant that many of the 'ordinary' building features were not operating, such as security locks on doors, cameras, lighting, etc.

Remember, the commission investigation you are asking for is not to find out why the towers fell but who did it.
A punk? Nice. I am sure if we were sitting at a bar you would not dare say that but behind a keyboard you are a man. .Kind of like the guy that 'tells' you he is going to kick your butt... you people are a riot....
I am not comparing buildings but I am comparing steel structures weakend by fire that led to a collapse. The WTC 1 and 2 were tube within tube design. Find 3 other buildings built like that. The WTC 7 was a building that was built upon another structure and the foundation was smaller than the width of the building so they used a truss design to support the upper floors.

Marvin P. Bush, the president’s younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. The company, Burns noted, was backed by KuwAm, a Kuwaiti-American investment firm on whose board Marvin Burns also served.
According to its present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center "up to the day the buildings fell down."
The company lists as government clients "the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S Air force, and the Department of Justice," in projects that "often require state-of-the-art security solutions for classified or high-risk government sites."
Stratesec (Securacom) differs from other security companies which separate the function of consultant from that of service provider. The company defines itself as a "single-source" provider of "end-to-end" security services, including everything from diagnosis of existing systems to hiring subcontractors to installing video and electronic equipment. It also provides armored vehicles and security guards.
However, your attempts to derail the thread are back so I ask the "King of all Punks"....what would you do if there was another investigation that returned the same results?
Stay on target...Stay on target...

OK, so let there be a new investigation. I am not afraid of a new investigation, I am concerned with a lot of money spent and resources wasted to come to the same conclusion in this day and age since the government is now a trillion dollars in debt.

You can keep claiming it all you want, but fires have never brought down steel-structured highrises to this day. Nor have fires ever been able to accomplish what well-placed explosives have in all the years past:
Never in human history has anyone ever been able to successfully plant hidden controlled demolitions in an *occupied* building without any of the occupants noticing what was going on, either. Thus, your own standard of logic dismisses any possibility of explosives as well.
You are conveniently overlooking that small detail, I notice.

I'll gladly say it to your face....If the shoe fits wear it kid. But hey, you tell me, because the way I was raised, when someone sprays his "dodo" around they should be called on it.
You see, you never even looked at those steel structured buildings, you just posted it as fact...you posted it as a perfect comparison without even taking the time to look at it. When in fact those steel structures bare no meaningful comparison to WTC 7. If that's not punkish, I don't know what is.
Look, you're either doing this for Sh$#ts and giggles or you're trying to protect some kind of agenda.

See here you go again....you base an argument completely founded on an NIST report that is bogus, contrived, and poorly explained.
I have no desire to argue points from a proven to be false hypothesis. All you do is play ring around the rosies, this has been beaten to death, so I will not waste my time with a rebuttal.

Ok, are you trying to be obtuse intentionally, or are you so twisted in your own confusion that you just made a complete contridiciton to your own statement.
So which is it.....he was involved, but it's a farce, but yet you admit what people throw around as fact.

Now this is where you really start to fall off the deep end:
However, your attempts to derail the thread are back so I ask the "King of all Punks"....what would you do if there was another investigation that returned the same results?
Stay on target...Stay on target...
You were the one who brought up WTC 7, in fact, I actually ran to research them in hopes that you had come up with some meaningful information.
However, not to my surprise, it ended up being the same ole same ole.
So, esdad71, stick to the things i replied to you with, not the one's you conveniently select. Its in bold, so please don't ignore it this time:
110 stories fell to the ground in 10 seconds? 110stories/10sec = 11 stories per second!!!!
110stories/15sec = 7.3333 stories per second!!!
110stories/20sec = 5.5 stories persecond!!!! Even if it was a little over 10 seconds far from free fall speed, it still fell too fast to be anything other than controlled demolitions!
The "official" story is that the building "pancaked". Even in the best case, 110 stories pancaked in 20 seconds (which is not the case, it's actually more like 10-15 seconds, but LETS JUST SAY, for the sake of argument), we're supposed to believe that EACH story 'pancaked' onto itself in 0.18181818 seconds? What happened to the lower floors that weren't damaged by fires at all? How does your 4 story concrete factory explain that???
