I dont want to play the intellectual holier than thou game. Thats thier deal, thats the deal of the jackasses who pretend they are superior because of thier logic and reason. I like to call them a little cock-weasel and shove my dirty socks in thier mouths it bings them right back to highschool when they got beat up by the JV football team for being D&Ders. At least it makes them more honest, hiding behind a wall of "logic and intellect" is just oral masterbation. | |

So. Just because someone brings certain subjects into question they are being "high and mighty"?
I am having a hard time understanding why you are so hostile about this subject. If you think it is a ridiculous argument why is it so hard for you to just simply say, "Ridiculous!", and move on to another subject. Belittling the author because of an argument they have forwarded in no way makes thier argument invalid. It just makes you out to be hostile.

No, not the act itself. But the reasoning for the act. I doubt he really cares about who did it unless it happens to be someone the red states love, in which case he can bask in how morally superior he is to all us redneck hillbillies who used to beat him up in highschool. | |

Steel melts at 1370 Celsius. Jet Fuel burns at 550 Celsius. Logically you can deduce that the steel should withstand the burning jet fuel. What that argument does not take into consideration is IMPACT, STRESS, and THE WIEGHT OF SEVERAL STORIES OF STEEL AND CONCRETE. With those additional factors it makes sense that two jet airliners would indeed bring them down.
Hell, a truckload of fert brought down a building and that had NOTHING to do with burning jet fuel nor melting steel. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Oh. Steel, fireproofed or not, loses 50% of its strength at exactly 593 Celsius. To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. S.O.D.

I think it's the attitude more than the facts that puts us off. That and we're smart enough to see there's an underlying motivation behind posting the article in the first place. I don't understand why people are faulted for being blatant and insultingly obvious in their opinions, while other people are allowed to be shady and subversively insulting and that's okay.

I do not believe that's a reason to believe he had anything to do with this, except receiving a report and filing it away...you're right, some are trying to use this theory against him, but that's not a reason shoot everyone who does agree that a plan b could have been planned by those who were responsible for bringing down; the two towers and eight other buildings with two planes?

And something in this evidence has triggered you to question. And I admire that, despite the fact that I disagree with you. My issue is with those that hide behind unproven facts and theories in attempt to foist their personal political views on other people, then insinuate that these people are stupid or ignorant for not buying into the whole thing.

my politics are simple, i don't like bush or the state of america currently, but for me, politics are irrelevant in this conversation...bush doesn't apply.
it wouldn't be worth discussing if everyone agreed with me...some are just more pleasant when pointing that out.  To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. | |

So your common sense and snazzy sarchasm automatically trumps the scientific method and an essay that I'm guessing you didn't even bother to read?
The best way to call me on this would be to review the facts and give well thought out and informed reasons why it is bullshit. de vagorum ordine dico vobis iura

Hell, a truckload of fert brought down a building and that had NOTHING to do with burning jet fuel nor melting steel. | Then what about WTC 7? WTC 7 was not struck by a plane and damage from falling debris should have resulted in only a partial collapse at the very most. Quote:
As you observed (link above), WTC 7 collapsed rapidly and nearly-straight-down symmetrically -- even though fires were randomly scattered in the building. WTC 7 fell about seven hours after the Towers collapsed, even though no major persistent fires were visible. There were twenty-four huge steel support columns inside WTC 7 as well as huge trusses, arranged non-symmetrically, along with some fifty-seven perimeter columns, as indicated in the diagram below (FEMA, 2002, chapter 5; NIST, 2005).
Diagram showing steel-column arrangement in WTC 7, view looking down on the roof. Circled columns were possibly damaged due to debris from WTC 1 collapse, some 350 feet away (NIST, 2005) so the damage was clearly non-symmetrical, and evidently, none of the core columns was severed by falling debris. WTC 7 was never hit by a plane.
A near-symmetrical collapse, as observed, evidently requires the simultaneous “pulling” of many of the support columns (see below, particularly discussion of Bazant & Zhou paper). The likelihood of complete and nearly-symmetrical collapse due to random fires as in the “official” theory is small, since non-symmetrical failure is so much more likely. If one or a few columns had failed, one might expect a portion of the building to crumble while leaving much of the building standing. For example, major portions of WTC 5 remained standing on 9/11 despite very significant impact damage and severe fires.

It fell due to stresses put upon it which were absolutely abnormal. The siesmic shock from the buildings falling had people falling down blocks away.
