The incompetency theory ends up having to cover a wide range of 'mistakes' made by NORAD, the Bush Administration, customs, the FBI
and yet to date no one has been punished for incompetence.
Does anyone ever?
that's ridiculous. They were tracking them. There are always thousands of blips.
Actually, it seems someone was tracking them...because Norad
didn't stand down.
Although the military first learned of the hijacking of Flight 11 from Boston Center at 8:40, just 6 minutes before its impact, it was able to scramble two F-15 fighter jets from the 102nd Fighter Wing from Otis Air National Guard Base just 12 minutes later at 8:52, six minutes after Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. However, the 33 minute flight time didn't allow them to reach Manhattan until 9:25, 22 minutes after the crash of Flight 175 into the South Tower.[43] One of the pilots later commented, "As we're climbing out, we go supersonic on the way, which is kind of nonstandard for us. And, and Nasty even called me on the, radio and said, Duff, you're super. I said yeah, I know. You know, don't worry about it. ... I just wanted to get there quickly."[44]
So...not enough coverage. No Combat Air Patrol.
Aluminum would not stay molten for weeks. Nothing should have stayed molten from a carbon based fire.
Proof? Why should anything have stayed molten from any fire? You know, if a large amount of stuff falls on a fire that size, no one should be surprised that
The plane that hit the second building exploded a large % of the fuel in the air because it hit near the corner of the building. It had less time to burn and people were standing in the burn holes when the building went down.
I'll have some proof for that claim, please. And it's relevance.
Yes, massive fires were burning. And?
Thick black smoke that does not fit with steel melting flames were pouring out of the holes in which humans - who were not melting or burning - were standing.
And yet, I am not saying that the melting occurred at or shortly after impact. My implication is that it occurred -
if it even occurred, for which you provide no proof - after the collapse, in the heap. Moreover, your posit is very, very simplified. The fire was occurring
right on the people, who were at the edge of the building, eh? This is my proposition? Yet, the
steel columns at in the centre of the building, not the edge. So this clearly is
not my proposition. The
fire is in the centre. The
people - assuming your statement is true - are at the edge.
Just so this is clear: let's assume for a moment that I somehow believe the steel melted in the immediate post-attack; within a few hours of impact. Wouldn't it be more effective to your point if the people were standing and waving at the centre of the building, where all the melting is purportedly going on?
Nothing indicates that a fire was present hot enough to melt steel
Quite likely correct. But at what temperature does steel lose 50% of its supportive strength?
or why that building went down so fast.
Actually, not correct. It fell pretty normally.
In fact it looked like the fires were going out in assessment made by fire personell both inside and outside the building.
Proof?
Of course he had to explain his slip. He clearly says 'pull it'.
Which he explained afterwards. You are trying to imply that I'm saying he didn't say that. He did. Troofers just like to take it out of context.
Also weird to pull the firefighters out when there were just two small fires in the building.
Oh?
After the North Tower collapsed, some firefighters entered 7 World Trade Center to search the building. They attempted to extinguish small pockets of fire, but low water pressure hindered their efforts.[29] A massive fire burned into the afternoon on the 11th and 12th floors of 7 World Trade Center, the flames visible on the east side of the building.[30][31] During the afternoon, fire was also seen on floors 6–10, 13–14, 19–22, and 29–30.[3] At approximately 2:00 p.m., firefighters noticed a bulge in the southwest corner of 7 World Trade Center between the 10th and 13th floors, a sign that the building was unstable and might collapse.[32] During the afternoon, firefighters also heard creaking sounds coming from the building.[33] Around 3:30 pm FDNY Chief Daniel Nigro decided to halt rescue operations, surface removal, and searches along the surface of the debris near 7 World Trade Center and evacuate the area due to concerns for the safety of personnel.[34][32] At 5:20 p.m. EDT on September 11, 2001, 7 World Trade Center collapsed. There were no casualties associated with the collapse.
"Two small fires", indeed.
Odd that it collapsed inward, first showing a center crack precisely like those in demolished buildings. Odd, further that Guilani said the building was going to come down.
These are entirely new claims. Provide proof, or desist. And:
Guiliani is in on the conspiracy then, eh? The Mayor of New York. Who just had 3000 of his citizens killed.
Giuliani. Indeed.
It was burned to a skelaton, for a much longer time then either WTC tower.
Was it hit by a plane?
No one even the masses adn masses of engineers you think have good explanation for the towers falling has made a case that either plane impact had significant effect on building.
That is the most absurd, disingenuous bit of tripe I have ever read. There is abundant support for the rationalist version of 9/11 and you know it full well. You should be ashamed, but I will hazard a guess that you aren't.
Oh, good you can take on a layperson working from memory.
Same here. Am
I an engineer?
You did not respond to some of my points
Which ones? Illustrate. I got them all.
and your 'there were thousands of blips' is infantile.
Hardly.
There are problems with many more portions of the official theory nor do I consider your rebutalls having demolished anything.
Then you're wrong. I'm sorry, but it's not my fault.
There are a number of books extremely critical of the official conspiracy theory that are written by rational professionals not known before this incident to ascribe to any other 'conspiracy' theories. I reccomend that people read these books rather than simply going by an interchange between myself and Geoff. They present a better defence of the official version than he does and they show why it does not hold.
No - this sort of silly passing the buck to other sources when the Troofer nonsense is comprehensively stopped is
unacceptable. If you're tapped into the prophetic reality of 9/11, then scootch over and breathily ask Dylan Avery for the keys to the kingdom. Otherwise, refrain from the propaganda, for there are far more articles and as much commentary from qualified engineers (not disgraced profs from Bring 'Em Young U) and architects. This propagandrist dismissal is absurd.
