We all lnow by now that the towers should never have fallen at freefall speed (they would have pancaked therefore slowing down the speed of collapse floor by floor) but I spotted this video from a BBC documentary that certainly sounds a bit odd. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5860825099435530591&sourceid=docidfeed&hl=en
First of all, it wasn't a perfect pancake - the towers were falling to the sides as they collapsed. Also, those how can you think that those "explosions" are detonated? They sound a lot like the first few floors collapsing the slowest, to me. I don't see why everybody has to think this is a conspiracy... ya'll that believe it are just ignorant. Besides, last time I checked, none of us have credentials to be deciding what the first few "booms" sound like. I'm sure you ALL have studied the difference with personal, live experience that has determined that those "booms" are really detonation bombs.
Who are "we?" Aid and comfort to terrorists. If Southpark gets it, I'd say the delusion is pretty much over.
I disagree, as each floor collapses it adds more mass to the collapsing debris resulting in the next floor collapsing faster as it is being hit by more weight.
Do you have any idea about basic physics? The resistance will slow each subsequent floor down in the collapse.
AGS, perhaps I am misunderstanding your thread. But are you trying to say terrorist didn't blow up the twin towers, but America did?
Yes Rebecca that is what I am saying. But not America (the American people) that were responsible, it was the people that control George Bush that were responsible. It certainly wasn't 19 Arabs that couldn't even fly little Cessnas and armed with box cutters doing it that's for sure.
"The people that control George Bush" is America. You would much rather hold the terrorists innocent and say that we killed our own people. Even though the terrorist have admitted to doing it and there is overwhelming evidence that they did, instead you would rather blame America. Even though so much time has gone by, I cannot hardly think about 911 without crying. I think your statements are very hurtful and I don't understand them. I really don't think your all bad AGS but I am going to have to put you on my ignore list. Take care...
I guess those 1000's of gallons of jet fuel burning inside the towers had nothing to do with them coming down.
Well, when you see the 2nd tower that was hit the majority of fuel exploded on the outside of the building, hence the immense fireball.
Ah, but you're missing the rest of the conaspiracy, it goes something like this. The US government arranged for the dissappearance of 4 passenger planes and the people on board. It then managed to silence any and all people that knew where the planes were taken to including the air traffic controllers as well as those with the task of disposing of the planes and passengers. The planes were then replaced by drones and/or missiles, but just in case the missiles didn't do their job the 2 towers as well as WTC were stuffed with explosives, which no-one working ther noticed, to bring the buildings down. All this to give Bush an excuse to invade and make a killing in oil.
So Bin laden, Moussaoui and every other terrorist whom admitted to the hijackings were all covering up for Bush??
Now you're starting to understand Not to mention the 1,000 or tens of thousands of other people that had to be involved if it was a conspiracy, that have somehow managed to cover it up for so long.
You know AGS, you rely on too much fluff conspiracy stuff. It's not an insult to your person (I'm sure you intend to find the truth), but come-on.... Steel does not need to obtain melting temperatures to fail. If it's significantly weakened, it will give-in. I read into the conspiracy theory a lot, and did almost lean in your direction once...coming short of an assertion...but as time went by, it was nearly impossible to hold that ground solidly. There was just too many things dissolving my 'fear'. The scale of such a scheme would be tremendous. These guys can't even keep stupid programs a secret, muchless this. I to this day have questions surrounding the events, but I in no way would endorse the conspiracy theories. Please, I would love if you could fill-in the blanks of what occured. Be detailed, please.
