The buildings could not collapse into thier own footprints
through all that resistance at free fall speed
without explosives
It defies the law of physics
and cannot be explained any other way
proving the buildings were purposely demoed.

i have two questions that seriously puzzle me, and i do not usually touch this subject, because i find it to be a mixture of repeated errors, and just believers and non believers battling it out and trying to win an argument regardless of the facts or truth.
but my two questions that make me think hmmm...
1) just how the hell did that bandana that was inside the plane that crashed in shanksville survive intact and with no marks on it but the plane was destroyed into little pieces? and how did they link it to a terrorist to use it as evidence?
and my second question is.
2) why did nobody fight before they hijacked the plane if all they had were box cutters? we may never know, but it does puzzle me, humans are able to work out which is a greater danger, attacking somebody with a knife or letting terrorist take you hostage, and gain control of the plane. i just do not understand why no fight was put up before they took control of any plane, are there really no weapons on a plane that can be used in self defense?
no fire axe? no fire extinguishers? nothing at all?edit on 7-12-2010 by lifeform11 because: (no reason given)
I don't know about you, but the majority of people are not like action movie heroes. When someone gets killed in front of them (as I remember reading from a transcript of one of the calls out from one of the planes on 9/11), people panic and cower in fear, hoping someone else will step up and risk their life. Over time, no one steps up to fight, or if someone does and dies, then more fear is struck into the passengers to do nothing. A box-cutter is still a deadly weapon, like many other things. When threatening with it, it can be very frightening.

And again, the plane (flight 93) was already in the hands of the hijackers when the passengers got the news about what all was happening that day. It was at that point they started planning to take on the hijackers.
As for the bandanna, why do you find it so hard to believe that a bandanna could survive? I mean, after all, we recovered NOTEBOOKS from space shuttle Columbia when it broke apart re-entering the atmosphere....hell, they found an experiment using earthworms in which the worms were still alive. Items can and do survive accidents that kill everyone on board aircraft, its not a new occurance.

You are wrong on all counts the buildings collapsed into thier footprint
and have been proven to have fallen at free fall even the Nist admitted it
have all kinds of questions, from the incinerated cars to the cell phones calls.
But right now my main question is...
Why did Obama say, "Don't question 9/11."

Why do thruthers persist with this lie? Just look at the damage done to WTC 7, WTC 6 etc - in fact the debris from the WTC buildings severely damaged or destroyed more than a dozen other adjacent and nearby structures This would not happen if they fell in their own footprint - but why do truthers keep ignoring that fact?
and have been proven to have fallen at free fall even the Nist admitted it
Still telling lies - with WTC 1 & 2 it is obvious the debris coming from the buildings is falling faster than the biuldings collapse, so they were not falling at free fall speed, and all that NIST admitted that for a short time WTC 7 fell at free fall speed. But truthers ignore this fact also - why?
This is why the "truth movement" is getting nowhere - they keep making things up!

No, you have to understand. For a truther/believer, footprint means debris falling ANYWHERE within the entire Trade Center Complex, and is apparently evidence for controlled demolition. You see, a building struck on the upper floors should collapse and fall over like a tree being cut down by a lumberjack. The idea that anything can collapse in on itself and hit other buildings is absolutely preposterous! [/sarcasm]

Because it's not a solid block landing on another solid block. The steel was connected by bolts and spaced with concrete and stuff. Truthers always use the term almost or near to describe their free-fall, because that way they can say anything means demolition. You see, there was resistance, and that's why it wasn't truly free-fall speed. It was several seconds slower, which is something that controlled demolitions do not exhibit, nearly always falling with no resistance. The towers looked like they tore themselves apart to me, save building 7. That one collapsed differently, considering that part of the inside collapsed thoroughly before the rest of the building fell. That adds a lot of unpredictable factors that controlled demolition does not cover, because in a controlled demo, one would have to predict every amount of debris damage as it collapsed. Really, a demolition should have everything happen at once so that nothing can hinder the collapse or cause other problems.
