You are referring to a statement that Skilling made on a paper that was published in 1964, a three page white paper with no research, documentation or analysis that can be proven. There is NO supporting documentation. So, your one statement that says that cannot come down is an assumption and nothing more. Did you think I do not know the paper you are referring to or bring up?

Their worry, which Skilling then goes on to discuss but you left out, is the ensuing fires and jet fuel which is exactly what happened.

again, only local damage during the striking of the building was expected but they do not discuss if there would be ensuing fires or damage what would occur.

Robertson has also said that it was designed to withstand a strike but that does not mean that would continue to remain standing. Again, it means it would survive the impact. Which it did so this is a moot point.

Now, atfet said incident, it was stated that

The WTC Buildings were designed to withstand Boeing 707 impacts but were "never designed for the massive explosion nor the intense [Jet Fuel jet fuel] fires that came next - a key design omission" - [September 2005 NIST Report Eduardo Kausel . All of you continue ti refer to NIST's initial findings because you know in the final report all those are answered.Pure denial.

It is so nice to know that Newtonian Physics depends on what Skilling and Robertson said.

What if it is physically IMPOSSIBLE for any skyscraper that big to collapse that fast? So isn't what matters is having accurate data on the distribution of mass and not what who said about what, when and where? Why do you talk about documentation if you don't want documentation on the building?

Get accurate data and THINK FOR YOURSELF!

And this is the crux of the whole issue. No building can fall through itself at or near free-fall speeds without the assistance of explosives.

It has been shown time and time again that every sign of controlled demolition was displayed at the WTC in the form of explosive ejections, flashes, and timed/synchronous "booms". All are seen in controlled demolitions and none are seen in fire-induced or any other type of building collapse.

Did you read what John Skilling said? He said "our research indicated". The three-page white paper of 1964 was a Port Authority analysis. Skilling was referring to his firm's 1200-page analysis. Hence why he said "our research indicated".

Have to remember the context that Skilling was working in

Concern was raised about plane flying into building . It had happened twice before in NYC - 1945 B 25 hitting
Empire State Building which many people knew about

Was second incident in 1946 at 40 Wall St


On the evening of May 20, 1946, a United States Army Air Forces C-45 Beechcraft airplane crashed into the north side of the building. The twin-engined plane was heading for Newark Airport on a flight originating at Lake Charles Army Air Field in Louisiana. It struck the 58th floor of the building at approximately 8:10 PM, creating a 20 by 10-foot (3.0 m) hole in the masonry, and killing all five aboard the plane, including a WAC officer. Fog and low visibility were identified as the main causes of the crash. At the time of the accident, LaGuardia Field reported a heavy fog that reduced the ceiling to 500 feet (150 m), obscuring the view of the ground for the pilot at the building's 58th story level. Upon impact, several parts of the aircraft, along with pieces of brick and mortar from the building, fell into the street below. However, there were no reported injuries of any of the estimated 2,000 workers in the building, nor anyone on the street


Based on that many have raised issue of what would happened if a plane struck building

Skilling and Port Authority realized needed to knock down issue

The research paper was a whitewash "Yeah we looked into it. Made some calulations, Nothing will happned to
building So now STFU and let us get on building the WTC"

No supporting evidence was included , no tests were performed. It was a whitewash to avoid the issue

Consider how "truthers" like to accuse everyone else of lying - Why not Skilling and his group

Witness testimonies are not reliable. We have a large video and audio record. All these videos and audio tracks should corroborate those explosions at exactly the same time. They don't. That either means all other videos are doctored, or in that one video it is not explosives we hear. What do you think is more likely?

There are alternative explanations, being deceitful editing and wind. Excluding those explanations shows bias. I am willing to consider explosions as cause, but that theory needs to be corroborated with other audio tracks. It hasn't been, so it is an extremely unlikely theory.

This is a baseless claim. You do not know what has been observed in history. Maybe is was never documented but even that claim is baseless. Buildings usually do not collapse without explosives, so the event on itself is pretty rare (note that buildings usually also do not suffer from plane impacts and uncontrolled fires). You don't have much material to compare with, and your argument is a fallacy called hasty generalization.

What you and many others fail to realize is the noise-pollution factor. Some microphones can handle more noise pollution than others. Most of the cameras near the WTC had noise pollution from city noise, loud sirens, sound blocked or distorted by buildings, etc. The camera in Hoboken had none of the city or siren noise pollution, and had an unobstructed view of the WTC.

Gotta love it when someone pulls the "wind" disinformation card when it comes to that video. Your magical wind blew 10 times before the south tower collapsed. Why would the wind blow that many times just to corroborate firefighter testimony that there were 10 explosions before the collapse of the south tower?

How did your magical wind know to blow only during the collapses of all three WTC buildings and only for the duration of those collapses? Sorry, but the wind disinformation doesn't work and it's hilarious that there are still people that pull that card. Talk about denial and ignorance.

Those sounds, some to the exact number, are corroborated by witness testimony. That's corroboration enough unless one intends to remain in denial and ignorance to the facts. Once you do a little research on audio editing and sound pollution, maybe you won't be so hasty to demand every single video at the WTC to have similar sounds. That will never happen.

There was an explosion that caused the penthouse to collapse through the roof, then additional explosions that caused the building to collapse.

When a building is wired for explosives, they can make that building come down any way they want. Including making the penthouse collapse first, then the rest of the building.

Don't forget, it is impossible for any building to collapse through itself at or near free-fall without assistance. Anything else you say is made-up strawmen based on denial and ignorance.




Flashes, ejections, pre-collapse and during-collapse explosions, timed booms, the speed that the buildings collapsed........ all indicative of controlled demolitions and none have ever been associated with fire-induced collapses. There is no getting around these facts, no matter what excuses you make up.

We're not debating this yet again. Those ejections have only ever been seen in controlled demolitions and no amount of peoples' opinions are going to make this point any less factual.

Either show a building collapse that exhibits these isolated ejections that is not a controlled demolition, or stop trying to debate this fact with someone's opinions.

My first thought, the first time a Truther asked me to look at the "squibs" was, that doesn't look like an explosion. That looks more like someone pointed a jet engine at the window and cranked it up. The exhaust just keeps going and going and going until it disappears. Explosives just don't do that in the real world.

Your argument is that because it looks like controlled demolition, it must be controlled demolition. So I point out it doesn't look like it because of the penthouse collapse. Then your argument becomes that they can make controlled demolition look like anything they want. According to your logic, any building collapse can be controlled demolition. It is pretty much useless arguing this with you when you hold such a position. Nothing on earth can convince you.

All your "evidence" has rational explanations that do not require demolition charges. Like I say, real evidence is missing, there is just some circumstantial evidence. You will have to do way better than that. For example, find at least one video that corroborates at least one explosion.

This is the problem with 9/11 that has become more important than 9/11 itself.

This pretense that grade school physics is so complicated that it cannot be comprehended without advanced degrees. And our EXPERTS have created this problem for themselves by having supported this lie but if it is easy to understand they would have to explain why they did not expose it in 2002.

A simple simulation would be to remove the simulated levels 91, 92, 93, 94 and 95. That would leave a 60 foot gap with 15 stories floating in the air and 90 intact simulated stories below. Let simulated gravity take its course. The bottom of the falling 15 stories would impact the top of the 90 in just under 2 seconds at 44 mph. This eliminates all discussion of how much damage the airliner impact and fire did.

The levels get stronger and heavier going down and lighter and weaker going up. Even at a 3 to 1 ratio of destruction, which I regard as extremely unlikely, that would leave 45 stories standing. That destruction would require energy. The only source is the kinetic energy of the falling 15 stories. They would slow down. Completely eliminating 5 stories is more destruction than the airliner impact and fires could have accomplished. So if that simulation comes nowhere near complete collapse then what is with this nonsense that has been going on for approaching TEN YEARS?

Doing that simulation correctly would require the mass of steel and concrete on every level. And the amount of energy required to collapse each level. So where are the physicists who have been asking about that for more than nine years?

So where is the engineering school that has said they would build a model that could collapse much less done it?

It's only nonsense to the uneducated. If you've never been in an audio studio, or know how to operate an audio mixer, then you don't know that very loud sounds can overwhelm a microphone and cause those sounds to get distorted and not to pick up any more sounds because it is overwhelmed.

And then to add on top of that, the ejections seen as both towers collapsed are also claimed to have been seen for the first time in history in two building collapses that are not controlled demolitions (according to official story supporters); on one day and one day only.

So we have astronomically high and astronomically high which = infinitely high odds that two events happen on one day and one day only. Never seen before or after. Sorry, but that just doesn't cut it in the real world.

Once is acceptable. Twice is coincidence. Three times is sabotage.

Your argument is that because it looks like controlled demolition, it must be controlled demolition.

You're leaving key parts out which can be construed as deliberate deception on your part. The building collapses didn't just look like controlled demolition.

  • Several first responders, who all corroborate each other, reported flashes in both towers, which are seen only in controlled demolitions.

  • Numerous witnesses reported timed "booms" as both towers collapsed, which is only heard in controlled demolitions.

  • The towers exhibited ejections of dust/debris, which have only ever been seen in controlled demolitions.

  • The speed at which all three WTC buildings fell at or near free-fall, has only ever been achieved in controlled demolitions.


    Every single aspect of the collapses of all three WTC buildings exhibited every sign of controlled demolition and no signs of fire-induced collapse. Many of us have begged for years for one of you to show a fire-induced collapse that exhibits the above.

    That request still remains unanswered to this day.

    The only "real" evidence you'll accept is the physical evidence and that has all been destroyed. Courts have proven time and time again that you don't need the physical evidence to prove something. So, while you sit in denial and ignorance and push aside all available evidence just because of the lack of physical evidence, the rest of us will press on with getting to the truth.

    Thank you for your opinions.

    No doubt there were explosions, that is to be expected in an office fire. But that is not the point here. You are claiming controlled demolition charges that are audible miles away.


    It's only nonsense to the uneducated. If you've never been in an audio studio, or know how to operate an audio mixer, then you don't know that very loud sounds can overwhelm a microphone and cause those sounds to get distorted and not to pick up any more sounds because it is overwhelmed.

    I know that. So show that all those microphones from other sources are clipping, distorting or attenuating that the same moment as in that video of yours. You are funny though. You go from the explosion not being loud enough and being obscured by other sounds to it was so loud that no microphone could handle the sound pressure level.

    You really do not know a thing about this subject, and you should read more than just audio 101 on Google.

    This is not mathematics, it is statistics. Your reasoning here is flawed again, you don't understand statistics (which is not strange when you think it is the same as math). The buildings did not fall from chance, they fell as direct result of planes hitting them and burning uncontrolled for hours. You have to understand that rare does not mean low chance. Something can be extremely rare but have a 100% probability of happening.

    Just for the record, please share your calculations on which you base your position.


    And then to add on top of that, the ejections seen as both towers collapsed are also claimed to have been seen for the first time in history in two building collapses that are not controlled demolitions (according to official story supporters); on one day and one day only.


    Claimed by truthers yes. I don't even have comparable material to make that assessment. Again your reasoning is very flawed. It is like saying that the chance of men going to the moon is astronomically low, and the chance of men going form the moon to earth is even smaller. So both events can never have happened in a short time after each other, even several times over a couple of years, according to you. You are wrong. The one rare event is a consequence of the other rare event. Just like those squibs are a consequence of a certain type of skyscraper collapsing as result of plane impact and fires, something that has never ever happened before in history.


    So we have astronomically high and astronomically high which = infinitely high odds that two events happen on one day and one day only. Never seen before or after. Sorry, but that just doesn't cut it in the real world.

    You don't really get it. It didn't look like controlled demolition because of the penthouse collapse. Sure you can have other reasons why it was a controlled demolition, but claiming it looked like one isn't really one of them. And now your are switching to the scattergun tactic.


    Several first responders, who all corroborate each other, reported flashes in both towers, which are seen only in controlled demolitions.


    Fallacy. Flashes can have other causes.


  • Numerous witnesses reported timed "booms" as both towers collapsed, which is only heard in controlled demolitions.


  • Fallacy. Booms also occur from mass hitting mass.


  • The towers exhibited ejections of dust/debris, which have only ever been seen in controlled demolitions.


  • Fallacy. You can't know everything that has been seen in history.


  • The speed at which all three WTC buildings fell at or near free-fall, has only ever been achieved in controlled demolitions.


  • And yes, another fallacy. You can't possibly know this either.

    Your "evidence" would be worthless if this were a court case. Your main argument is ignorance. You can't think of a better explanation, or you don't know of it happening before.



    Every single aspect of the collapses of all three WTC buildings exhibited every sign of controlled demolition and no signs of fire-induced collapse. Many of us have begged for years for one of you to show a fire-induced collapse that exhibits the above.

    That request still remains unanswered to this day.


    Except from the missing distinctive loud bangs and squibs just before collapse, columns showing signs of being damaged by charges or any residue from charges in the debris. Or in other words, the real signs of controlled demolition are missing.



    If that's all you can come back with, we're doing pretty good.


    I didn't mean to give you the impression you are doing good. My opinion is that your are doing terrible in providing any real evidence so far.



    No. All the evidence has made-up, fairy tale explanations to help people sleep at night because they don't want to accept the consequences of what the evidence really means: that 9/11 was an inside job.


    I do agree on the first part, but would say that the reason for it is that conspiracy theorists do it to enhance their believes.


    The only "real" evidence you'll accept is the physical evidence and that has all been destroyed. Courts have proven time and time again that you don't need the physical evidence to prove something. So, while you sit in denial and ignorance and push aside all available evidence just because of the lack of physical evidence, the rest of us will press on with getting to the truth.


    No, I don't only accept physical evidence. I already wrote what evidence I accept. But by all means, take it to court.

    My first thought, the first time a Truther asked me to look at the "squibs" was, that doesn't look like an explosion. That looks more like someone pointed a jet engine at the window and cranked it up. The exhaust just keeps going and going and going until it disappears. Explosives just don't do that in the real world.


    Hell I have been saying that for years, and it still doesnt sink in. I have yet to have one, ONE truther explain how explosives can create a jet of dust and debris that keeps going and going and accelerating after detonation. Never heard one satisfactory answer. Just ignore, and run. Ignore and change the topic. Move the goalpost.

    So I guess I can ask the truthers again:
    What kind of explosives create a pressure was that behaves like an accelerating jet after detonation? Next, I want them to tell me, how does an explosive behave upon detonation.

    We're not debating this yet again. Those ejections have only ever been seen in controlled demolitions and no amount of peoples' opinions are going to make this point any less factual.

    Either show a building collapse that exhibits these isolated ejections that is not a controlled demolition, or stop trying to debate this fact with someone's opinions.



    I can tell the difference by watching other real demolitions! In fact, I came to that conclusion before I discovered those websites that do a great job of debunking this garbage.

    Every other "demo" video I watched, I saw the puff come out, and then stop. It just went "poof!' and spread out. the WTC starts as a puff and gets bigger and bigger and bigger, and then MORE stuff gets ejected out, and its gets darker. I mean damn, that is nothing like I have seen in real demolition squibs. The author(s) of the debunking website also see that and just reinforced my original observation. That aint from a "explosive".

    Its up to YOU to show ME a demolition that shows the "squib" behave EXACTLY the same way as the jets did in the WTC. Specifically, an explosion and then acceleration of debris and dust over time. I want YOU to find me that and any sort of explosive that behaves like that. Just one video that shows C4, TNT, PETN, C2, gunpowder, exploding, and then having the pressure wave accelerate at a constant speed away from the detonation point.

    10 years later...wounds not healed...tears still shed...lives till broken. For one day, please try to put yourself in the shoes of the sons and daughters. husbands and wives, brothers, sisters, moms and dads...and do not post selfish comments to attempt to derail the memorial that today is.
