yes quite so.
You have any idea how many people died because those towers fell down?
yes quite so.
There is also evidence that the planes did negligible damage to the structural integrity of the twin towers.
You know that big hole which cut many perimeter and core columns? Tore up floors, removed fire proofing and on top of this had extremely hot fires weakening the already damaged building?
There's your loss of structural integrity right there.
There have been several articles where the softened steel was discussed. I’m pretty sure there was photographic evidence as well. The articles are usually brought up by the conspiracy theorists because Abolhassan Astaneh describes them as ‘melted’ in one of them.Just because some idiot described the steel as licorice doesn't mean he had the slightest bit of evidence to support the statement.
Like explosives, missiles, thermite, nanothermite, superthemite, ray guns ect. Yeah ok.People who chose to believe that the planes could bring the buildings down that fast had to rationalize it after their destruction. They chose to refuse to consider the possibility that anything else was involved.

Accurate estimation of the tower’s motion during the airplane impact required detailed knowledge of the geometry, weight distribution, and impact velocity of the aircraft, as well as detailed knowledge of the geometry, weight distribution, and structural strength of the tower. At the time of this test series (fall 2003), much of this information was unknown, and the impact motion could only be roughly estimated. To allow this estimate to be made quickly, many simplifying assumptions were made regarding the nature of the impact.
Figure 2–15. Displacement of floor 70 of WTC 2 after impact based on video analysis (NIST NCSTAR 1-5A).
The impact of the aircraft into WTC 2 caused the tower to sway back and forth for almost four minutes. The estimated period of oscillation was found to be nearly equal to the calculated first mode period of the undamaged structure, indicating that the overall lateral stiffness of the tower was not affected appreciably by the impact damage. The maximum deflection at the top of the tower was estimated to be more than 1/3 of the drift resulting from the original design wind loads (about 65 in. in the N–S direction) as calculated from the baseline analysis (see Chapter 4). Since the lateral stiffness of the building before and after impact was essentially the same, it can be concluded that the additional stresses in the columns due to this oscillation were roughly 1/3 of the column stresses resulting from the original design wind loads, assuming linear behavior and assuming that the oscillation mode shape and the static deflected shape under design wind loads were identical. The building demonstrated an ability to carry this additional load and therefore, still had reserve capacity. This was confirmed by the structural analysis of the damaged
towers reported in NIST NCSTAR 1-6.
This is a dodge on your part. Astaneh was an engineer who presented his findings on the steel (with complaints) at the 9/11 commission. He mentions the extremely soft steel in more than one article. I can find them if you want? Are you going to accuse him of being wrong or lying? Will you consider the contents of the NIST report to be the only evidence worth looking at?So find the temperature data in the NCSTAR1 report. Why talk about articles when there is a 10,000 page government report?
Why would I? What are you rambling about?So explain why you don't have a table specifying the distribution of steel and concrete in the towers from an OFFICIAL SOURCE?
You have supposedly been through the NIST report. ….It has been SEVEN YEARS! It didn't take that long to design the buildings.
Ever heard of the conservation of momentum? How is it that the top portion broke the support below and accelerated the mass below for it to come down in less than 18 seconds
Again, what the hell are you talking about?and yet you can't even specify the distribution of the mass below?
Do they care about upper case? lol If you have a point to make could you please make it without rambling.Didn't the designers have to figure out how to make the building support itself? So why shouldn't that have been available within a few months.
The laws of physics don't change for the sake of what ANYBODY prefers to BELIEVE.
They don't care about sarcasm either.
No.Ok, after seeing their latest video, it seems that no one has actually said they saw the light poles being clipped by a plane,.
Yes but you thought a missile hit the pentagon. ….They took witness statements, which can clearly be seen in the video. The conclusions they drew up seem quite logical to me.
You aren’t listening. Over 100 people say they saw the plane hit the pentagon. They didn’t piece it together from the news the next day they saw a 767 hit the pentagon.They didn't ignore it. They simply stated that if people see a plane almost level with the pentagon, then they see an explosion soon after, then they hear the news reports stating that a plane hit the pentagon, it would be very easy for them to assume that the plane did, indeed, hit the pentagon.
What you don’t understand is (1) that they have taken their own interpretation of witness accounts to fit their beliefs, those accounts were not even clear (2) they took accounts much later on. Witness testimony isn’t perfect and there were contradictory points within the accounts they presented as their proof. If they actually interviewed a hundred or so people and a couple said the angle was a little different then it doesn’t outweigh the 98. It also doesn’t outweigh the testimony of 100+ people who saw it hit. You will never get this because you don’t want to.The other incredibly important point is that the plane -could not- have hit the pentagon from the angle they all describe. Do you understand how important that is?
I will repeat, if we are to believe Ryan Mackey there was no peer review.I prefer the alternate theory supporters who have links to people who have been published in peer reviewed journals myself:

:thumbsup: Good work Scott!Are you saying that the fact that the report makes no mention of evaporated steel means that it did not, in fact, reach those temperatures?
Dr. Biederman and his team reported temperatures of a maximum of 850C.If so, what evidence do you have that this is the case?
You have shown that you will believe nearly anything in regards to 9/11.The fact that you call him an 'idiot' doesn't make him so. I have found his comments to be most informative.
No that person was in the list of ‘Architecture and Engineering Professionals’.Yes, there are lots of people on the site who aren't architects or engineers. However, there are also more then 520 architects and engineers.
Yes I know you are mesmerized by credentials when they support the conspiracy but ignore them when in support of the official theory.Not if you're not an architect or engineer, no. However, if you -are- one of these, then yes there is. Take a look:
http://www.ae911truth.org/signnow.php
I also encourage you to look at the credentials and information of all the architects and engineers that have signed the petition:
http://www.ae911truth.org/signpetition.php (just scroll down a bit)
Only one? In a little known journal which allegedly had no actual peer review and required only a payment? All these supposedly qualified people behind the conspiracy and that’s all you have? That’s a little odd don’t you think? I submitted 20 something peer reviewed papers which supported the official story.I think that's more a scientist thing. Steven Jones, who has been published in the past in Nature and Scientific American for his work on muon catalyzed fusion, has certainly submitted papers to peer reviewed journals and has recently gotten one published as well.

I wish we could trust government reports to mention all the relevant data. But think for a moment; if that were true, we should conclude that WTC 7 didn't collapse, since it wasn't mentioned at all in the 9/11 Commission report
They did finally investigate what happened to WTC 7. I would argue they did so because people demanded that such an investigation be done. I believe people now need to demand an investigation into -why- there was no mention of the melted and evaporated steel.
As to the original FEMA investigation of WTC 7 they concluded, "The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time. Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation, and analyses are needed to resolve this issue."
Yes, I know that aftewards, NIST continued to 'resolve' these issues. Here's an excerpt of their 5 year effort in action:
***********************************
Molten metal? What molten metal?
NIST, in its final report on WTC 7, ignored all of the evidence relating to molten metal, even though numerous reliable witnesses spoke of the presence of molten metal at Ground Zero. These witnesses included Richard Garlock, a structural engineer at Leslie E. Robertson Associates, an engineering firm involved in the design of the towers and the clean up of the site, who said "Here WTC 6 is over my head. The debris past the columns was red-hot, molten, running."10
The witnesses to molten metal also included University of California, Berkeley engineering professor Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, who was the first scientist given access to the steel at ground zero. Dr. Astaneh-Asl referred to the WTC steel he found as "kind of melted."11 Years later, when asked again about his experience he clarified, "I saw melting of girders in World Trade Center."12
There are many other reports of molten metal at ground zero, including quite a few from those who support the Bush Administration's ever-changing fire-induced collapse theories. There are also photos supporting the reports of molten metal.13 But NIST continues to ignore all of this evidence in its new report.
***********************************
http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20080911073516447
It goes on, making it clear that NIST ignored a lot of evidence, including paper thin steel and sulfidation, the possibility of nano-thermite being used (it would handily account for the 'mysterious' sulfidation and extreme thinning of steel) and having ignored all this evidence, concludes "The reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery".
It is jet fuel not diesel fuel. Two totally different chemicals. Who wrote that article a 7th grader?
You mean "you are a complete moron" or alternatively"you're a complete moron".Once more scotch your a complete moron.

Ah, my apologies. In any case, many of the so called reports of witnesses to the downing of light poles have been discredited:
