That aside. I think we disagree on one main point.
You think those buildings fell down because of fire and the damage caused by airlplanes. I believe they were controlled demolitions. I also believe any careful study leads to that conclusion. Thus my mystification by your opinion.
The problem is that your supposed "careful studies" aren't careful studies- they're hack jobs with an agenda to specifically "prove" conspiracy regardless of what the facts actually show. Take a look at this- it's a section of WTC structural steel recovered from ground zero-

First off, it shows the claim that "all steel was immediately shipped overseas without examination" is a lie right there becuase this is one of the pieces being stored at the hanger at JFK (the one that Jesse Ventura tried to get into in his show, "Conspiracy Theory") specifically becuase it's evidence on how the towers collapsed. Second, I can easily explain to you how this steel was bent like a coat hanger from the massive overwhelming forces from the collapsing wreckage crushing down upon it. Can you explain how your controlled demolitons would have remotely caused this girder to have bent like a coat hanger? No you can not.
So, if this one single photo can cast the "careful studies" showing there were controlled demolitions into doubt, then just how "careful" a study was it to begin with? The reason why I don't find your claims of controlled demolitions credible should be obvious- Why on EARTH should I take a bunch of con artists who put out blatant "all the steel was shipped off oversears" falsehoods seriously?
edit on 16-10-2010 by GoodOlDave because: (no reason given)
All right then, I stand to be convinced. Explain to me how controlled demolitions would have bent one end of this steel like a coat hanger without leaving any blast marks, and would have cut the other end with the same perfect flush surface that the beam had when it left the mill.
I'm not holding my breath that you'll be able to provide a suitable answer

I do not believe controlled demolition bent the steel as you put it. I believe that particular piece of steel “may” have been bent as the WTC top was leaning over and from the excessive top weight, however I can only guess as you have done.
Dave, can you tell us to what exact part does that particular beam belong to at the WTC?
Who is suggesting as proof the other end may have been cut from the Mill? Or is that your opinion? Perhaps supper Na-nothermite may have been used to cut through the steel, couldn’t that be a possibility since science proved na-nothermite was found in the WTC dust samples, a compound particle that had no business to being there in the first place.

Would you care to explain how a kerosene and office furniture fire destroyed HUGE STEEL BEAMS? Something people do not seem to understand is that a [color=#FF9900]JET ENGINE ONLY BURNS HOT BECAUSE THE COMPRESSOR AT THE FRONT END IS SPINNING AT AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF RPM'S TO COMPRESS THE AIR/FUEL MIXTURE. WITHOUT THAT COMPRESSOR SPINNING YOU JUST HAVE A KEROSENE FIRE. The compressors were disintegrated when the plane hit the building. So from that point on you just have a kerosene fire.
I spent ten years of my life running the annealing furnaces for one of the major tool manufacturers in the world. That means that I SOFTENED STEEL FOR A LIVING. So I know what it takes to soften steel. Incidentally the steel I was softening was plier handles, chisels and other small hand tools. In order to soften these small tool parts you have to bring the temperature up to about 2200 degrees F and hold it there for about [color=#33FF33]TEN HOURS. Then you bring the temperature down to about 1100 degrees F over a period of about [color=#33FF33]EIGHT HOURS. These were just small hand tools remember. The bigger the steel, the longer you will have to leave it at temperature in order to soften it. [color=#FF6600]So a paltry kerosene fire burning for a couple hours is NOT going to be able to soften the HUGE STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAMS.
I challenge anyone to go to a junkyard and acquire a piece of structural steel. Then get a ROCKWELL TESTER to scientifically test the hardness of that steel. After that throw some kerosene soaked office furniture on it and let it burn for a few hours. Then come back and use the Rockwell tester to scientifically test your sample and see how many points of hardness it has lost.edit on 10-16-2010 by groingrinder because: Edited to try and get the font colors to come out right.

Bollings justifications for "Knowing 911" are simply hilarious. His reasoning, 911 wasnt perpetrated by our govt because a) he saw it happen b) he consoled friends who lost people and c) he raised money for firefighters. This is what he considers "studying" the incident. And its also funny that his first response to Ventura's questioning of 911 has to do with seeing the planes hit the buildings. As if any person questioning 911 is implying that no planes hit the buildings. Few deny that planes hit the buildings, they only question who allowed or arranged it to happen.

Good ol Dave, Still waiting for your response to this post on previous page by 'Groingrinder'

There are cracks and breaks in the beam. Look at the far end and you can see where the box column broke when it curled in. The broken edge is sitting directly on the wooden block.
What i see is same thing in a Process of Angle Roll Bending
Then that would necessarily mean this was fabricate din this position. What section in the building would even remotely need a weird shaped column like this?

No, actually, I suggest that YOU don't forget Edna Cintron. She jumped from the WTC to get away from the fires, and since her only choice was to jump, it says right there what kind of hellish fires were burning in the interior.. This isn't her, but this IS what happened to her:

Hers was a hard core, real life tragedy. Using her tragedy in some kind of game to keep your conspiracy stories alive is pretty sleazy, dude.
