What if a new investigation reveals the same as the first?

Incorrect. The cores woulnd't have been visible to the TENANTS. They definitely would be visible to the engineers, inspectors, custodians, etc whose job it was to maintain the building, check for corrosion, water damage, metal fatigue, etc etc etc.

Even with your logic, it still doesn't explain away the plumes that have only ever been seen in controlled demolitions.

The plumes were clouds of air and dust being pushed out of the building like a bellows as the structure was collapsing. Skyscrapers have their own circulatory air conditioning system, so when the towers collapsed the air necessarily had to go somewhere.

I actually got THAT from the Dutch guy who believes WTC 7 was brought down by CD, that everyone is quoting.

Your logic doesn't explain away the explosions heard in "9/11 Eyewitness" that are also corroborated by first responders. Your logic doesn't explain away the first responders' testimony to seeing flashes and explosions going up, down and around the towers in the lower levels and middle levels, mimicking what we normally see in controlled demolitions.

Likewise untrue. Controlled demolitions are TIMED IN SEQUENCE, specifically to knock out all the supporting structure in one fell swoop. The explosions heard during 9/11 were RANDOM, going off in no perceivable order. It's the whole reason I can definitively say these weren't controlled demos.

We know there were flammable objects in the buildings (emergency fuel tanks for the backup generators, electrical transformers, pressurized pipes, etc) that would necessarily go BOOM when on fire, and we know there were fires in the towers. These explosions almost certainly had to be these flammable objects going BOOM in random order, as the fires reached them in turn.

Your logic also doesn't explain away the survivors and by-standers that heard the "boom, boom, boom" detonations as both towers were being brought down.

A rather odd statement. The entire buildings were not only going BOOM BOOM BOOM as they were falling, the wreckage was going BOOM BOOM BOOM as it hit the ground and/or nearby buildings. Are you trying to say the buildings should have fallen silently?

Please?
Can we? Just a few...
No? Why not?
Oh, I see. They were hauled away and sold.
We'll just 'believe' that they all failed. then. Because that's what we were told. And they were reportedly examined by scientists too. Not just any scientists, either. A very select group. Hand picked. Peerless, apparently.

Sorry to doubt. My mistake.
Born with a questioning mind, that's all.

Yes, they exert a force of their mass * g on the ground, which exerts an identical force upwards, leading to a total acceleration of 0.

First of all, the acceleration of the building standing on the ground has the "total acceleration of 0" does not mean they are experiencing 0g. It's two totally different things. They are still experiencing 1g with an acceleration of 0. Remember that, 1g.

No, it simply means that they were exerting a force of mg on the structures below them, which were resisting with forces of 1/3g and 1/4g respectively [edit - this should be better phrased, they were exerting a force of 1/3mg upwards, where m is the mass of the upper section. I have explained this poorly], leading to an acceleration of 2/3 or 3/4g, 6.5m/s/s and 7.4m/s/s respectively.

These figures come from observations of the actual rate of descent, from the PhysOrg forum. I don't have the link to hand but it should be easily searchable.

Now this, is why i think you're an bumbling misinforming idiot. My question had nothing to do with what the acceleration for the building actually was. That's totally irrelevant to me as we can all watch the video of the "collapses" and come up with those numbers easily without the help of a fake scientist such as yourself. We merely need to use time intervals with the video to determine velocities to determine acceleration. Why you are using g to answer my question, beats the hell out of me. You're saying 2/3 or 3/4 the force of 1g was the reason it brought the buildings down, as well as all the floors beneath the impact zone that WERE NOT DAMAGED BY FIRE?? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? You've done nothing to answer my question of what did cause this building to fall to the ground at that speed, all you did was provide further confusion to anyone reading this thread. Therefore I'll ask my question for the FIFTH 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 CAUSED THE FLOORS that weren't damaged by fires at all to fall at those speeds? STOP IGNORING THE QUESTION. You not being able to answer it further illustrates the need for an ACTUAL UNBIASED INVESTIGATION.

GoodOlDave, it's nice to see you're still hanging around while ignoring my posts that were directed at you, your credibility, and your illogical reasoning. Don't forget, the posts you made yesterday might have been made yesterday, but they're still here for the world to see today.

"pulverized" is not a state of matter. It is the mass that is the most important, and breaking up concrete does not reduce its mass.

So, what everyone supporting the OS is saying is that this pulverized material maintained and GAINED momentum to also pulverize the undamaged floors below. Okay, I see now. Thanks for opening my eyes finally! *dripping heavily with sarcasm*

Yes, it gained momentum through the accretion of mass and acceleration due to gravity. If you drop anything it gains momentum, the only difference is that the WTC towers resisted the collapse with about 1/4 to 1/3rd the force applied.

Sure, they didn't fail from kerosene fire though. NIST has 236 pieces of steel from the towers. It's true that the majority was destroyed, and some of it very quickly, but my question to you was what evidence was there that it was intentionally "scrubbed" rather than done through negligence?

I want to be extra careful with my answer here, I think that you are asking how, after the collapse started, it progressed downwards.

The simple answer is that the amount of force exerted by the upper section of either tower falling even a single floor massively exceeds the load carrying capacity of the next floor down. In reality of course the tops of both towers rotated, resulting in most columns being misaligned and the floors being the primary structural element. The floors were very thin, 4" of concrete, and designed to handle only local live loads, with very little dead load.

What caused the floors below to fall at those speeds? Momentum, caused by the upper section being accelerated due to gravity, and converting potential energy into kinetic energy.

Now, if you are asking what started the collapses, please post and let me know, but the answer to that in depth is in the NIST report.

Is it just me or is it that every time someone asks a valid question that you cannot prove with your pseudo-science, you rip the question to shreds and stray from the direction of the original question so as to confuse and dilute the substance within the actual question?

Please, you're more than welcome to post your calculations on how you came up with this magical number. Otherwise, don't bother to post it as fact And even if the magical number wasn't imagined, it STILL has no relevance to my question. Which was again:

To be continued in next post:

Now, if you are asking what started the collapses, please post and let me know, but the answer to that in depth is in the NIST report.

Let me just point out the statements you make which you would have us believe is fact but of which none you have made any attempt to prove:

1. The simple answer is that the amount of force exerted by the upper section of either tower falling even a single floor massively exceeds the load carrying capacity of the next floor down
Massively exceeds? How stupid can you really be? I mean COME ON. I state that the standing structure uses 10-15% of the total load bearing capacity. You rebutted that with your assumption (with no proof that it's actually true, shows all the signs of being completely false) that the building uses "50%" of it's load bearing capacity. If that really were the case, that would mean the structure would be able to support a little less than A WHOLE 'NOTHER WTC TOWER on top of it! Even with your bogus 50% claim! For the building to fall (at near free fall speeds mind you) after all this time (30years+) because an upper section floor that lost integrity due to fire is just flat out implausible. Not to mention that skyscrapers are built with extreme redundancy, a concept that is not made up like your statements but have an actual basis and foundation in PHYSICS and SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. For you to say they'd build a 110 story skyscraper using 50% of its load bearing capacity is an outrageous lie.

2. In reality of course the tops of both towers rotated, resulting in most columns being misaligned and the floors being the primary structural element
Any research or scientific evidence to back any of these wild claims up?

3. designed to handle only local live loads, with very little dead load.
I would like to see your degree in architecture for you to make a wild claim such as this, with the obviously tiny mental faculties you possess.

Don't point me to the very NIST report that we know to be bogus, as evidence. Since the NIST report ignores the laws of physics as much as you do. The very NIST report that has us demanding a real investigation.

To date, you still haven't answered my question.

Likewise untrue. Controlled demolitions are TIMED IN SEQUENCE, specifically to knock out all the supporting structure in one fell swoop. The explosions heard during 9/11 were RANDOM, going off in no perceivable order. It's the whole reason I can definitively say these weren't controlled demos.

You're right, its not like there were bombs in the basement first and then explosions higher up in the building getting lower as it came down.
Its not like I saw all that happen live on the internet in real time on msnbc.com
its not like you can look it up on news archives and see it for yourself.
Its not like you can google it.
its not like you can youtube it.

It's just you, I make the best effort I can to answer any question put to me, but often these questions are unclear.

Please, you're more than welcome to post your calculations on how you came up with this magical number.

No calculation needed, it is the observed value determined by a panel of truthers and non truthers from the PhysOrg forums.

Massively exceeds? How stupid can you really be? I mean COME ON. I state that the standing structure uses 10-15% of the total load bearing capacity. You rebutted that with your assumption (with no proof that it's actually true, shows all the signs of being completely false) that the building uses "50%" of it's load bearing capacity.

NIST calculated the demand to capacity ratios of the core columns in the WTC before impact, and found values ranging from between 30% to 60%. Given these values, 40-45% would be more accurate than the 50% I said before. I believe the combined required factors of the NY building code came to between 2-2.5x, and 30-50% would satisfy this.


[edit - fixed image, i hope]

There is not a huge amount of information on the total weight of the structures as occupied, and so don't expect these to be completely accurate, but it certainly was nowhere near 10-15% and I would challenge you to support these figures.

For the building to fall (at near free fall speeds mind you) after all this time (30years+) because an upper section floor that lost integrity due to fire is just flat out implausible.

Implausible, perhaps. Impossible, no. As soon as the upper section starts moving it gains a gigantic amount of kinetic energy, far more than its static dead load. You can work out a simple 1d model easily enough, but Bazant and others have already done this, the paper was submitted, reviewed, corrected, reviewed, and eventually published in a very reputable journal. It calculates the forces involved in collapse, the time taken, the amount of air forced out of the structure etc.

Not to mention that skyscrapers are built with extreme redundancy, a concept that is not made up like your statements but have an actual basis and foundation in PHYSICS and SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. For you to say they'd build a 110 story skyscraper using 50% of its load bearing capacity is an outrageous lie.

There was redundancy in the WTC, but it was provided by hat truss connections, and a moment frame exterior design. Neither of these would help to prevent the collapse we saw, because it occured via a mechanism that was not envisioned. Design in future will take account of this, and so no building should ever fail again like the WTC towers did.

2. In reality of course the tops of both towers rotated, resulting in most columns being misaligned and the floors being the primary structural element
Any research or scientific evidence to back any of these wild claims up?

A basic knowledge of geometry should do. Please show me how two squares, one inclined in two axes, can impact each other axially.

3. designed to handle only local live loads, with very little dead load.
I would like to see your degree in architecture for you to make a wild claim such as this, with the obviously tiny mental faculties you possess.

Insulting people is against the rules here, and given that you were unable to understand a simple acceleration term means I should insult you back. Luckily I don't really care what you think of me, I don't need a degree in architecture to know what loads the floor was designed to handle, because it is completely obvious. They were attached by means of angle clips to interior and perimeter columns, and literally only supported the local floor loads. I challenge you to prove me wrong.

Don't point me to the very NIST report that we know to be bogus, as evidence. Since the NIST report ignores the laws of physics as much as you do. The very NIST report that has us demanding a real investigation.

The NIST report ignores no laws of physics, you are clearly just trying to deny any evidence which could prove you wrong.

I challenge you to find an official citation of 10-15% standard load, or of the floors in the WTC supporting more than the local floor load.

No, you DIDN'T see this happen this way in real time, nor can you can youtube it or even google it to see it happen this way. Every video in existence specifically shows the initial structural failure was at the point of impact of the aircraft, which then cascaded down sequentually floor by floor. This is how the towers collapsed according to every piece of evidence available and this cannot be refuted.

My impersonation of you: "Guess what guys, the panel of truthers and non truthers just told me yesterday it was a airbus a320 that hit the pentagon. Its fact, cuz the panel said so themself."

Haha, that image you linked clearly states in the caption MAXIMUM demand-to-capacity ratio for axial force which means in this case, absolutely nothing. I don't know what your boss told u but, MAXIMUM DEMAND-TO-CAPACITY is NOT THE SAME THING AS ACTUAL DEMAND-TO-CAPACITY RATIO. Its absolutely backed through engineering and science that even if the demand-to-capacity ratio did hit their safe 'maximums' the building would not have failed the way they did. Which is why we keep saying, open a new and unbiased investigation and if you don't agree with it, i guess you should sit there and be happy by yourself and not meddle with our complaints about the lies that are the NIST and 9/11 Commission report. I mean, seriously, why can't you just be happy? There are no signs of a new investigation happening, so why do you take it upon yourself to attack my private investigation? Are you just a psychopath that likes to deny people their right to think freely? (see fascism)

If you're going to refute my questions or my beliefs, do it with proven facts and science, not with absurd/illogical statements, bias, attacks (see chicanery) and if you can't do that, just shut up, log my ip, and put me on your watchlist; because you're only making yourself look more irreasonable and.......... dumb.

If this be the conclusion of the thread, then it is fairly obvious that we need another investigation.

I'm pretty sure custodians didn't crawl around in the elevator shafts cleaning the cables. I'm also pretty sure that there weren't inspectors and engineers crawling around in the core and elevator shafts every day. And since the core was mostly what needed to be destroyed to bring the towers down, the work could've been done in the weeks leading up to 9/11, just as some survivors have testified to.

Originally posted by GoodOlDave

Make sure you say "in my opinion the plumes were clouds of air" because you have zero proof of a building ever collapsing and showing plumes. However, we do have abundant proof that plumes are shown during most every controlled demolition:

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/82681924bc62.jpg[/atsimg]


And then there's the witness testimony to the flashes and explosions going off, and the way the buildings fell, all suggesting controlled demolition on top of the plumes that already suggest controlled demolition. All you're attempting to do is theorize on what the plumes might possibly be with zero proof to back up your theories. I've proven plumes are shown in controlled demolitions. Please show proof that plumes are seen in building collapses that are not controlled demolitions. If you cannot provide proof, you will have to concede.

Please forgive the perps for not setting the explosives off in a timed order to make it look more like a controlled demolition than what it did. You do realize that whoever is in control of the explosives can detonate them at any time in any sequence? If you were the perp, you know damn well you would want the buildings to sound and fall as little like a CD as possible. Just because they detonated it in a random order, doesn't make all the evidence go away or mean that it wasn't CD. Again, that's logic from your denial talking and not letting you see the bigger picture.

Originally posted by GoodOlDave
These explosions almost certainly had to be these flammable objects going BOOM in random order, as the fires reached them in turn.

Yeah, the fires were up top. The fires up top didn't cause flashes to go up, down and around the building at the lower and middle levels (40-60 floors below) while the building was collapsing up top. The fires up top didn't destroy the lobby, destroy the basement levels, destroy the parking garage, and seriously injure or kill people in the basement levels. Sorry, but your denial still makes you say things that can't be backed up with fact. You're going against the available evidence to support your fantasy.

Yeah, too bad your failed logic doesn't apply to "9/11 Eyewitness" because that video was recorded from 2 miles away and you won't hear the building crashing through itself or crashing on the ground at that distance. You can only hear the explosions and detonations which are corroborated by first responder testimony, I might add.

Yes, because it is a report by experts, with more information about the building than anyone else. Unless you have some evidence you're wrong I could just dismiss all conspiracy theories with the same method.

Can you name a single "complete" alternate theory? Becuase if so then they're all incomplete and therefore all inadmissible apparently.

Are you implying that since they are a "panel of truthers and non-truthers" and thus, we should believe what you say? Example #2398 of your illogical thought patterns.

No, I'm saying very explicitly that since they are a panel of truthers and non-truthers, there's no real obvious bias in the figures, and they represent reality. They're not my figures, I haven't personally measured them.

Haha, that image you linked clearly states in the caption MAXIMUM demand-to-capacity ratio for axial force which means in this case, absolutely nothing.

No it isn't. I took this from the NIST report which I happen to have read, clearly you have not. These are the maximum as occupied loads, so this is the lowest demand to capacity we should see.

I see you have completely failed to provide any proof whatsoever of any of your claims in this post.

Which is why we keep saying, open a new and unbiased investigation and if you don't agree with it, i guess you should sit there and be happy by yourself and not meddle with our complaints about the lies that are the NIST and 9/11 Commission report.

What exactly am I attacking here? You called me an idiot for actually knowing the facts about the building, and are now calling me a fascist for trying to correct you on those facts.
