    And you received your engineering degree from where?  And you examined the site when?  And since when did you become an expert on what happens to a concrete building when a 757 hits it at at cruising speed?

    The video is all the research you need.

    I've done more research on this than you and it's not even close. That is a fact.  I've even had a phone conversation with one of the makers "Loose Change."  

    And people say smoking pot doesn't make you paranoid.

    How was research conducted on the collapse of building 7? Personal accts of damage to the outside of the building? Still means nothing.

    See.  This is the typical conspiracy nut response.  Just avoid the question or just switch the subject to my cat (where have we seen that before?).  I asked him why the video has a bunch of people talking about red hot and molten metal, but yet they don't show any pictures of it in the video.  Just steam. Reasonable question to ask to see pictures of red hot metal if you're using the video to prove that their may have been thermite involved.  Yet no pictures of molten metal....or red hot metal for that matter.

    But does that matter to the pot smoker?  Nope.  You'd think it would matter to someone seeking the truth.

    And the personal accounts. re. damage DO mean something because there are a lot of nuts out there just like you who say that WTC 7 barely had any damage at all.  

    I love it how the personal accounts of the firefighters who saw molten and red hot metal DO matter to you (in fact, you take their accounts at face value when there is no video of this molten metal). But when it comes to first hand account of firefighters re. WTC 7, they mean nothing.  

    Even my cat can see through you bullshit.

    Oh, the simpletons.  


    are you suggesting the media or the fireman is lying?

    you're a smart cat....i know somewhere in your mind you have to be objective...same goes for anyone else...as long as people aren't quick to believe whatever is being fed to us by the media, it's all gravy baby.

    Did you not post the following to instigate such a post?

    it is not possible to keep secrets

    In his book, Loving God, former presidential assistant Charles Colson, in writing about Watergate, said, "With the most powerful office in the world at stake, a small band of hand-picked loyalists [of President Richard Nixon] ... could not hold a conspiracy together for more than two weeks.”

    In his book, Loving God, former presidential assistant Charles Colson, in writing about Watergate, said, "With the most powerful office in the world at stake, a small band of hand-picked loyalists [of President Richard Nixon] ... could not hold a conspiracy together for more than two weeks.”

    another reason there can be no conspiracy


    Note that peripheral figures in any conspiracy would be more likely to come forward because their limited role would not result in serious punishment-in fact, most likely no punishment at all because of a plea bargain in which they'd have to name higher-ups. And their inducement would be considerable financial rewards (books, TV movies based on their disclosures, etc.). And mere informants, who wouldn't be exposed to any legally adverse consequences, would only have financial rewards for coming forward.

    Again,  you started the name calling buddy. So your research of WTC 7 is comprised of firsthand accounts of damage to the OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING by fire fighters? How'd that center column pop first then?

    How did the collapse of WTC 7 differ from the collapses of WTC 1 and WTC 2?

    WTC 7 was unlike the WTC towers in many respects. WTC 7 was a more typical tall building in the design of its structural system. It was not struck by an aircraft. The collapse of WTC 7 was caused by a single initiating event-the failure of a northeast building column brought on by fire-induced damage to the adjacent flooring system and connections-which stands in contrast to the WTC 1 and WTC 2 failures, which were brought on by multiple factors, including structural damage caused by the aircraft impact, extensive dislodgement of the sprayed fire-resistive materials or fireproofing in the impacted region, and a weakening of the steel structures created by the fires.
    The fires in WTC 7 were quite different from the fires in the WTC towers. Since WTC 7 was not doused with thousands of gallons of jet fuel, large areas of any floor were not ignited simultaneously as they were in the WTC towers. Instead, separate fires in WTC 7 broke out on different floors, most notably on Floors 7 to 9 and 11 to 13. The WTC 7 fires were similar to building contents fires that have occurred in several tall buildings where the automatic sprinklers did not function or were not present.

    What is progressive collapse?

    Progressive collapse is defined as the spread of local damage from a single initiating event, from structural element to element, eventually resulting in the collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it. The failure of WTC 7 was an example of a fire-induced progressive collapse.
    Progressive collapse did NOT occur in the WTC towers, for two reasons. First, the collapse of each tower was not triggered by a local damage or a single initiating event. Second, the structures were able to redistribute loads from the impact and fire-damaged structural components and subsystems to undamaged components and to keep the building standing until a sudden, global collapse occurred. Had a hat truss that connected the core columns to the exterior frame not been installed to support a TV antenna atop each WTC tower after the structure had been fully designed, it is likely that the core of the WTC towers would have collapsed sooner, triggering a global collapse. Such a collapse would have some features similar to that of a progressive collapse.

    The 13 experts of the NIST Investigation would if there had been a conspiracy produced a fraudulant report


    Apparently, then, such distinguished Americans as these experts got together in some smoky back room and all of them agreed, for some ungodly reason, to do the most dishonourable deed imaginable-give organized crime, the CIA, the military-industrial complex, or whoever was behind the 9/11, a free pass in the murder of citizens of United States.



    And in the process, not only risk destroying everything they had worked for-their reputation and legacy to their families-but expose themselves to prosecution for the crime of accessory after the fact to murder. Ask yourself this: would any of these investigators, for instance, risk being remembered as an accessory after the fact to the murder of this nation's citizens, one who disgraced himself his country.




    The mere asking of the question demonstrates the absurdity of the thought.


    Indeed, why would any of the members of the NIST and their staff stake their good reputation on a report they prepared which they knew to be fraudulent

    Did investigators consider the possibility that an explosion caused or contributed to the collapse of WTC 7?

    Yes, this possibility was investigated carefully. NIST concluded that blast events inside the building did not occur and found no evidence supporting the existence of a blast event.
    In addition, no blast sounds were heard on the audio tracks of video recordings during the collapse of WTC 7 or reported by witnesses. According to calculations by the investigation team, the smallest blast capable of failing the building's critical column would have resulted in a sound level of 130 decibels (dB) to 140 dB at a distance of at least half a mile, if unobstructed by surrounding buildings. This sound level is consistent with a gunshot blast, standing next to a jet plane engine, and more than 10 times louder than being in front of the speakers at a rock concert.
    For the building to have been prepared for intentional demolition, walls and/or column enclosures and fireproofing would have to be removed and replaced without being detected. Preparing a column includes steps such as cutting sections with torches, which produces noxious and odorous fumes. Intentional demolition usually requires applying explosive charges to most, if not all, interior columns, not just one or a limited set of columns in a building.

    Is it possible that thermite or thermate contributed to the collapse of WTC 7?

    NIST has looked at the application and use of thermite and has determined that its use to sever columns in WTC 7 on 9/11/01 was unlikely.
    Thermite is a combination of aluminum powder and a metal oxide that releases a tremendous amount of heat when ignited. It is typically used to weld railroad rails together by melting a small quantity of steel and pouring the melted steel into a form between the two rails.
    To apply thermite to a large steel column, approximately 0.13 lb of thermite would be needed to heat and melt each pound of steel. For a steel column that weighs approximately 1,000 lbs. per foot, at least 100 lbs. of thermite would need to be placed around the column, ignited, and remain in contact with the vertical steel surface as the thermite reaction took place. This is for one column . presumably, more than one column would have been prepared with thermite, if this approach were to be used.
    It is unlikely that 100 lbs. of thermite, or more, could have been carried into WTC 7 and placed around columns without being detected, either prior to Sept. 11 or during that day.
    Given the fires that were observed that day, and the demonstrated structural response to the fires, NIST does not believe that thermite was used to fail any columns in WTC 7.
    Analysis of the WTC steel for the elements in thermite/thermate would not necessarily have been conclusive. The metal compounds also would have been present in the construction materials making up the WTC buildings, and sulfur is present in the gypsum wallboard used for interior partitions.

    Some people have said that a failure at one column should not have produced a symmetrical fall like this one. What's your answer to those assertions?

    WTC 7's collapse, viewed from the exterior (most videos were taken from the north), did appear to fall almost uniformly as a single unit. This occurred because the interior failures that took place did not cause the exterior framing to fail until the final stages of the building collapse. The interior floor framing and columns collapsed downward and pulled away from the exterior frame. There were clues that internal damage was taking place, prior to the downward movement of the exterior frame, such as when the east penthouse fell downward into the building and windows broke out on the north face at the ends of the building core. The symmetric appearance of the downward fall of the WTC 7 was primarily due to the greater stiffness and strength of its exterior frame relative to the interior framing.
    In a video, it appears that WTC 7 is descending in free fall, something that would not occur in the structural collapse that you describe. How can you ignore basic laws of physics?

    In the draft WTC 7 report (released Aug. 21, 2008; available at https://wtc.nist.gov/media/NIST_NCSTA...ic_comment.pdf), NIST stated that the north face of the building descended 18 stories (the portion of the collapse visible in the video) in 5.4 seconds, based on video analysis of the building collapse. This time period is 40 percent longer than the 3.9 seconds this process would have taken if the north face of the building had descended solely under free fall conditions. During the public comment period on the draft report, NIST was asked to confirm this time difference and define the reasons for it in greater detail.
    To further clarify the descent of the north face, NIST recorded the downward displacement of a point near the center of the roofline from first movement until the north face was no longer visible in the video. Numerical analyses were conducted to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the roofline point from the time-dependent displacement data. The instant at which vertical motion of the roofline first occurred was determined by tracking the numerical value of the brightness of a pixel (a single element in the video image) at the roofline. This pixel became brighter as the roofline began to descend because the color of the pixel started to change from that of the building façade to the lighter color of the sky.
    The approach taken by NIST is summarized in Section 3.6 of the final summary report, NCSTAR 1A (released Nov. 20, 2008; available at https://wtc.nist.gov/NCSTAR1/PDF/NCSTAR%201A.pdf) and detailed in Section 12.5.3 of NIST NCSTAR 1-9 (available at https://wtc.nist.gov/NCSTAR1/PDF/NCST...%20Vol%202.pdf).
    The analyses of the video (both the estimation of the instant the roofline began to descend and the calculated velocity and acceleration of a point on the roofline) revealed three distinct stages characterizing the 5.4 seconds of collapse:
    • Stage 1 (0 to 1.75 seconds): acceleration less than that of gravity (i.e., slower than free fall).
    • Stage 2 (1.75 to 4.0 seconds): gravitational acceleration (free fall)
    • Stage 3 (4.0 to 5.4 seconds): decreased acceleration, again less than that of gravity

    This analysis showed that the 40 percent longer descent time—compared to the 3.9 second free fall time—was due primarily to Stage 1, which corresponded to the buckling of the exterior columns in the lower stories of the north face. During Stage 2, the north face descended essentially in free fall, indicating negligible support from the structure below. This is consistent with the structural analysis model which showed the exterior columns buckling and losing their capacity to support the loads from the structure above.

    another point, it is amazing, that no other country intelligence gathered any intelligence about a 9/11 conspiracy, Russia and China would have had a field day with any conspiracy that USA had killed its own citizens. All conversations are monitored, other countries listen, the UK is one of the best at tracking and listening and you dont think MI5,MI6 CHQ would have picked up something, then you say UK was in on it as well.

    Unique view: Frank Culbertson took this picture of the 9/11 attacks from the International Space Station. He was the only American off-planet at the time


    On the morning of September 11 2001 there was only one American off-planet – Expedition 3 Commander Frank Culbertson.

    While 220 miles above the Earth aboard the International Space Station, Culbertson took incredible pictures of the Twin Towers after they were struck by the hijacked jets.

    The station was passing over New York at the time of the attacks and it had a profound effect on the astronaut.

    As Richard White, professor of history at the University of Washington, and speaking in a generic sense, says,


    "You can't trust the government to do anything right--- except of course, to conspire and cover up.


    Then it becomes diabolically efficient.


    The very people who are wildest for government conspiracies are often the same people who believe the government is incapable of delivering the mail efficiently."


     In other words conspiracists believe that Murphy's law (whatever can go wrong will go wrong) doesn't apply to the alleged conspiracy in 9/11 and cover-up.
