One problem the receiver needs batteries. Batteries don't like fires.

It is not only batteries that don't like fires but WTC 1 and 2 did not burn down, it collapsed so your point is has no bearing.

You are really not making any sense! Its like you have no freaking idea about anything on 9/11.

LOOK at how the buildings come down, are you blind or just plain ignorant?
IF it wouldve even been possible for the towers to come down with the relatively miner damage they recieved, they would've topled over, not crumble into it's own footprint.
But can't have damage to the surrounding buildings now, can we?
You are right, they were cut for demolition: AFTER 9/11/01
Oh I am well aware of how they fell. For starters, if the column was cut at the base, then why did the collapse start at the top of the structure at the impact point? Also, why did people survive in the stairwells in the core? Third, why did the core remain standing after initial collapse if the core columns were cut at the base?
You have a lot of catching up to do. Arguments from personal incredulity are worthless here.
Keep shooting yourself in the foot. You're stretching buddy.
Where exactly am I doing that? I have yet to see you post anything substantive.

1. Its called BUILDING CODE kiddo. There have been plenty of fires in steel towers. And what happened to those?..... But knowing you so well ,your rebuttal would be the other towers didn't have a plane causing some kinetic havoc impact ,,bla ,,bla jargon... Your story is a constant cycle only to make us dizzy and frustrated. Give up Gdeck or ask for a pay raise.
2.Fuel wasn't available for the flying debris . Try counting how much fuel was in those jetliners and continue counting the time the debris started flying in thin air; doesn't pan out Gdeck. And you talk about desks, Furniture? You're stating that a desk with fire on it flew into some window in building 7 and started a fire?
Oh that's right,, building 7 didn't have a ConEd so that's why fire commenced in building 7... My mistake.. Very weak Gdeck..
And you say some 20 acres of supposed furniture(even though ,you are assuming... You love doing that) is what caused the detrimental fire in one specific building ,but when you see any of the WTC videos(any of the videos), there is a vacuum of sort that suffocates the fire in WTC's impacted zones. In fact ,the weight of the above floors compressing the floors on fire should do the trick of putting out any fire...ask any firefighter and see what they tells you.
3.As for head hunting for your past ATS research I don't have that much time. But I know you're talented enough to copy 'n paste everything. Surely you could do it one more time, old friend.
And the core did not survive,,, nothing survived in all three buildings. Unless you consider rubble as structural. Again for your FTP theory to fully stand ,the core would have to be blown to bits. If your not going to talk about demolition & code/safety as a priority then ,,NO, there is not a standard in demolishing a structure. Again if jetliners can do this much damage then we should be using these planes as weapons of war. Don't see why you don't get that part.

Dude when ever have you seen a building collapse at free fall speed?
If indeed the cores survived (which they didnt) it would cause friction, slowing down the collapse.
Same goes for the pancake theory, if the floors pancaked onto eachother they would slow down the collapse and not go at full speed.
No, what happened here, is that as one story was falling, the story below got demolished, exactly like they would do in a controlled demo, so that the building collapses onto itself and doesn't damage surrounding buildings (much).
Your avatar says you are a "critical thinker" though you think critically wrong.
Since the trusses were the main thing failing, and the core was bypassed by the collapsing floors, I think it's safe to say that the core was not really offering the resistance. The floors were the only resistance, and they were being overcome by the weight and acceleration of the other floors.

That's not smoke!
It's the dust flying because of the earth trembling when the demolition charges were let loose in WTC1 and WTC2.
Reading this thread I think it is about time you had a new amendment to your precious constitution:
It is the right of every man and woman (even gay) to ignore facts and use bogus science and lack of knowledge of physics to explain anything they choose.
Doing this also entitles them to insult people trying to bring to their attention, facts established by real scientists.
Most Truthers are laughed at in the rest of the world. Some of the truthers in this thread (likke funnyhead) is particularly entertaining.
It is my hope that the mods stay off this thread - as they apparently have till now - and allow a few to read this post before I get banned for telling the truth.
If you will note the row of blackened window surrounds, they are four on top of four windows towards the corner. The glazing is blown out and there is no fire.
I pose this explanation; the billowing dust clouds was drawn up WTC 7 because of wind shear and it smothered the localised fires within the building.
If the fires were so great and they caused the trusses to slump because of the fires, why is there no fire licking out of the broken windows?edit on 24-5-2012 by MI5edtoDeath because: (no reason given)
Could it be that the fires were further in than the windows you see?
Why does the flames absolutely have to lick out of the windows?
And regarding explosions. Have you ever heard the noise a concrete slab makes when it cracks because of heat? Would you at least acknowledge the possibility that the strain the trusses and what-have-you makes a significant noise when they give way?
Have you heard the noise from a flash over? Would you even consider that the explosions that some firemen refer to could be their "technical" term for smoke gasses igniting?
And the most important - for Truthers - have you asked MythBusters their opinion?
And how can the top-section of a building, with no sufficient velocity, can knock or pulverize the tubed steel/concrete core?? Boy, you love to assume physics.
4. We lost only 3 USS carriers to Kamikaze. And 2 out 3 continued its tenure. Those three carriers had bombs and the Jap planes had bombs. No bombs were used in WTC, according to you and NIST..The Kamikaze damages were not caused by the fuel or the impact of the aluminum Jap planes. Seems You are in denial of your own history. And please don't give me a list of fighters and artillery ship that sank do to Kamikazes. Let's compare the sheer size of carrier to the sheer size of a skyscraper.

Also, steel is capable of withstanding the temperatures of jet fuel, even without fire proofing. Come back once you've done some more reading.
OK - you read this then:
Have you ever heard anything about how superheated steel behaves? Did you know that it expands? Did you know that the expansion caused it to NOT fit in the brackets where it was supposed to rest?
Did you know that steel becomes softer when it is superheated? Do you think that the inherrent strength stays the same? Have you wondered if the weight of the floors above would be enough for the softened steel to bend and be torn out of the brackets?
What ever would a few heavy gauge bolts sound like when they suddenly snap because of the severe strain?
But of course. It is easier to disregard things like that. After all it is written by someone who doesn't believe in the "inside job" - hence its invalidity.

But do you have any evidence of cut steel pre-clean-up ? And why do the cuts show typical characteristics of cutting by thermic lance ?
Considering that you broached the subject and I merely raised a point of logic, do you believe there is no evidence that cutting charges were used?
If there was that evidence, it would be known and you would have presented it.
You didn't, therefore it isan admission that it does not exist.

So why didn't it collapse then? Apparently OS'ers believe the debris from WTC 1 brought down WTC 7, therefore, the Fiterman Hall building should have suffered the same fate.
Seriously, what is wrong with you? Most of the buildings surrounding the WTC complex didn't collapse. They sustained damage, but the varying designs led to varying results. Are you trying to say that it's a conspiracy that the buildings were considered unsafe and had to be deconstructed one floor at a time due to damage?
So what you are saying is that many buildings suffered damage and the only one that collapsed without an airplane striking it was WTC7?
No, Building 3 also collapsed, and many other buildings suffered partial collapses. The firefighters were watching Building 7 ALL DAY because they knew it was damaged too far and would collapse. How do you consistently forget that?

You will also see that the majority of windows are intact and there is little evidence of wide spread fires.
That's a really funny statement. Stupid - but funny.
Please tell me how you can see behind the smoke and see that all those windows are intact.
Doesn't it make sense that the smoke exits the broken windows?
edit on 25-5-2012 by HolgerTheDane2 because: (no reason given)
STAIR-SHAFT NEGATIVE PRESSURES CAUSED THROUGH STACK EFFECTS MAY LEAD TO
LODD!
An event that will most certainly take firefighters by surprise is the negative pressure that often exists
BEHIND them as they advance into a fire involved floor of a high-rise structure causing the fire to be 'sucked'
out of the apartment or floor to head directly into the stair-shaft. This negative pressure may be substantial
and is a by-product of natural stack effects in the stairway itself. On occasions this effect can cause a
negative pressure in the fire area itself to cause outside windows to break inwards, allowing exterior winds to
intensify fire conditions.
