hey, your at the top of Adam Larsons list
anyway, why cant the outer walls be on top in a non controlled demo?
and why must they be in a controlled one?
also those are not the entire outer walls either, just significant chunks..

So, the outer walls, in your theory...should have remained in tact and stretched over city blocks in either direction if it was CD?

no of course not, my point was that those pieces could have wound up on top in EITHER scenario..

Using your logic then, not all of the buildings would have ended up with the sides on top....

YET..............

Yes hilarious isn't it?

Because the mass of the building would stop them, and the only place they have to go is empty space, path of least resistance, outwards. As the building comes down the debris falls down and out, pushing the outer walls down and out as the debris falls over the top of them. To get the outer walls to fall inwards you have to create a space and vacuum inside the building to give a space for the walls to fall inwards. This is what happens in an implosion demolition...

Another option is to detonate the columns at the center of the building before the other columns so that the building's sides fall inward.

and why must they be in a controlled one?


Because there is no way a natural collapse could have been timed perfectly in order to allow the building to collapse in it's footprint. The outer walls being on top of the debris pile is the definition of 'in it's own footprint' when it comes to implosion style demolition. It is the point of implosion demolition, and simply illogical to think a natural collapse could mimic that naturally.

This feat requires such skill that only a handful of demolition companies in the world will attempt it.

They're not lying you know.

also those are not the entire outer walls either, just significant chunks..


It doesn't matter. You can see all four walls from the bottom up to a significant height. As the walls fall inwards the top most sections are all going to be mixed in with the rubble pile. If it was a natural collapse the bottom of the walls would be the most covered, as they are right where all the rubble would pour out. The top of the building, and outer walls, would have been the furthest away from the footprint as the rubble would spread out.

But you know all this is irrelevant really as no one can yet show any evidence as to why the building started collapsing in the first place. Fire can not cause a steel building to fall symmetrically, let alone land mostly in its own footprint. Implosion demolition is the most logical answer, however much that bothers you and questions your beliefs.

Here comes the heckling from the peanut gallery....

No one is spinning anything other than you OSers. No one has mentioned those people you talk about.


Dude, you must think you're in another thread. THIS thread specifically asks, and I quote:

"Engineers Request Permission to Speak Freely Regarding World Trade Building 7"

So my asking why these engineers need to ask permission to speak freely and my asking why they need to ask permission when noone else...including you...seems to need to ask permission is a legitimate question. Your not liking me askign such an embarassing question by no means makes it any less of a legitimate question.

Why don't you actually contribute to the discussion at hand, instead of your constant running cometary on what you think of 'truthers'? It's not helping anything but your ego. Your opinions prove nothing.


You are absolutely correct. My opinions mean nothing. The lesson you truthers are refusing to learn is that your opinions likewise mean nothing. It's facts people want, not opinions sinister plots to take over the world, armies of secret gov't ninjas murdering thousands of innocent people, or what have you. If you can't getyour conspiracy claims past a nobody like me then what do you expect will happen in any independent investigation you might get in the future?

There are a lot of people out there who simply don't buy the OS. I wish they would stop putting so much energy into arguing the toss with those who do, especially about the collapse of WTC-7 and, instead, find new angles.

No one can deny the collapse of WTC-7 looks a little like a controlled demolition... even if they don't believe it was. In fact, if Silverstein had said that, because of who the tenants were and the sensitive nature of the information they held, the buidling had been primed to collapse in a controlled manner years ago as a contingency under certain situations, I don't believe anyone who currently believes the OS who would have doubted it.

But, he didn't say this and no one will ever be able to prove it was demolished from analysing YouTube videos or still photographs. The only way to prove it, forensically, would be to analyse the physical evidence and, 10 years on, I'm not sure there is enough of it left to conduct a thorough analysis anyway.

Then we have the OS theories which, whilst inconclusive to some, cannot be categorically disproven.

I believe the only way to discover whether any members of the US goverment or its agencies were actively involved in the planning and execution this attack is to find someone willing to talk on the record... someone who is not only willing to talk, but who can provide enough hard supporting evidence to give others the courage to do likewise.

Until then, you might all just as well cut 'n' paste comments from 10-year old ATS threads and save yourselves the effort of trying to come up with an original way of expressing old arguments.

There is a very, very logical question that NONE of the "conspiracy" theorists will pay attention to, RE: WTC 7:

Why, if this were a "controlled demolition", didn't this "planned" CD occur at, oh...11 AM? Or, 3 PM?


Instead, the building exhibited all the indications (as have been recorded, and these facts pointed out time and again) of a damaged structure, from collateral debris, and the ensuing raging fires that went un-fought. Eventually, after the period of time when it was observed to be under intense stress, and showing signs of imminent failure, it finally began, with a portion that let go, and the cascade that followed.

Furthermore, in the aftermath of the area clean-up, numerous other buildings that, due to their particular design, had withstood the collateral damage, and ensuing fires, still had to be torn down because they were too badly damaged to be repaired.

WTC 7, with only slightly different impact pattern, a different internal design arrangement (no huge open atrium, for example) and any number of differences, in the way the fires spread, etc....could very well NOT have collapsed, and undergone the demolition later, as did those other buildings.


Finally, it is beyond ridiculous to make the (unsupportable, with no evidence whatsoever) claim that just because of some tenants, it *needed* to be taken down, as occurred....to, what? "hide" something? What was "hidden", exactly?? Wouldn't it still be there, after the building collapsed??

No, the 'conspiracy' people flap their gums, and distract from logic and reason by making this something it isn't.....

I composed my reply to the OP, as best it seemed to me, the premise presented.

Not to any of your posts, which I actually do not recall, specifically.

(Of course, now...you've piqued my interest, so will have to go read it).

Well, for one thing, it was your fellow conspiracy theorists here who informed me that a countdown to the demolition was broadcasted over open Red Cross frequencies...and why the F the Red Cross would be involved in controlled demolitions is beyond me, but I digress...which necessarily means that there was a timed schedule when WTC would have come down. It's the whole reason why you see people synchronizing their watches in those war movies- everyone was ordered to kick off at some specific time so everyone needed to know exactly when that specific time was and that the specific time was the same for everyone else. These supposed conspirators are not going to count down to some arbitrary time out of the blue because all the conspirators need to know exactly when they're expected to, well, do whatever the conspirators need to do to pull off the most convoluted conspiracy in all of recorded human history. They counted down to the exact previously decided upon time that the WTC was planned to come down. You know that and so do I.

This is what happens when the conspiracy people throw accusations and hypothesis around willy nilly. Sooner or later their own words come back to haunt them. I'd like to see how these "engineers requestion permision to speak freely" about WTC 7 would have to say about that.

Many are waking up to the reality that 911 was an inside job; however scary many deem it to be, that the U.S Government and Israel(Mossad) May have been in collusion to commit such an atrocity on the United states and murder 3000 innocent people. So they could justify going to War in the Middle-East.

Its just sickening down with the Government!


Do you really think they needed to do that just to go to war? Don't you think if they had just dive bombed the Pentagon the US would have went to war? Don't you ever ask yourself why such a huge event? An event that captured the worlds attention. Don't you feel it was bigger than it needed to be? It's as if they wanted to plant a seed that people would not forget.


If just a portion of the pentagon was damage, a portion that was supposedly empty, a portion that was under current renovation at the time of the incident, the american people would not have banded together and offered the support that they did.

In other words.... the pulling of the towers and WTC7 was a psychological play to get the people of America wanting some kind of revenge or retribution.... which allows the governmental powers to easily enact a plan to go to war with nations under false pretense......

People forgot about the pentagon, the media still basically only refers to the Towers when talking about anything involving that incident.
