"Incontrovertible fact (WTC) buildings were brought down."

the reason being that there have NEVER been any steel framed buildings such as these which fell due to fire....
Funny how you ignore the fact that every very tall building that has been hit by a high speed jet airliner has collapsed.... so it looks like a high speed jet airliner hitting a building will cause it to collapse!

But where is the resistance from the rest of the undamaged tower? It goes down like a hot knife thru butter.
Why does 30 floors not just take out 30 more floors, why does it never seem like nothing gets in its way?
The core of the building is still intact in majority of the building but yet it is falling right along with the tower.
Every one always talks about the trusses, and the outside, what about the core??? What is damaging that?
And how does the free fall get explained in 7?
What caused there to be absolutely no resistance in the collapse of 7 for 2.3 seconds??
Fire?? Fire severed the supports to allow that?

Include yourself in the masses that really do have no logic, no separation of lies from reality...
No logic, no separation of lies from reality?
Have you even read what you posted?
Do you mind telling me where my logic is flawed?
Or are you going to continue on posting illegible posts that contradict themselves.

Again, I'm speaking as an outsider who has thought about 9/11, maybe twice in the last 10 years.
On one side, there is the government story. Apparently, people know pretty much what it is and the story has some supporters.
On the other side, we have "It was caused by nukes." It was caused by thermite." "It was caused by planes flown by remote control." "It was caused by the Jews." "It was caused by the United States under Bush to start a war for oil." "The planning went on for a long time, it was started under Clinton."
Before I try to figure out whether the government story is true, or the conspiracy story is true, would someone tell me, finally, what the conspiracy story actually is? In the meantime, I'll just go down to the beach and find a pile of sand I can stick my head into while I wait for you to sort this out a little better.

So after all this talk about your creds and your passion, grades and what not, what did happen to those towers?
As far as building number 7. It was not a small building. It was subjected to stresses also, such as massive skyscrapers collapsing right next to it, massive fires raging for hours uncontrollably. It also has design specifications which if the are exceeded, will cause the structural integrity to fail.

Here's my two cents. No matter how you want to argue about the distribution of energy, nothing breaks evenly. There are always unpredictable weaknesses in construction and in the material used for the construction. The idea that a single weight at the top of the tower, would lead to an almost implosive reaction, is preposterous. The weight would not be evenly distributed across the entire floor. One side is heavier and therefore that side is going to be the weakest and fall the soonest, creating a chain reaction which would cripple the side bearing the most load, faster. I'm not even going to go into the unpredictable nature of the fire (should be obvious). Human engineering isn't precise enough to balance load to the nth degree, to accommodate unforeseen factors in the potential energy of an impact. Don't get me wrong, we do an adequate job, but we're far from perfection.
Case and point, build a miniature wood house and ram a heavy object into it from different angles and see how it breaks apart. I guarantee it will never EVER, fall perfectly, straight, down into itself without outside interference. This is just simple common sense in my opinion, as there are no absolute variables.
My conclusion is, either the attack was a pre-planned false flag or we all witnessed a miracle that day.

Yes it's amazing that after all this time and even on this first page people seem to forget about the aircraft it WASN'T just fire that brought them down it was a combination of things !!!!
I don't believe what this man is saying is true. There have been many books out that have debunked these conspiracy theories on 9/11
They were obviously holographic nuclear weapons! With patented hushaboom noise cancelling covering to muffler the noise!
NCSTAR 1A 3.6] "This free fall drop continues for approximately 8 stories, the distance traveled between t=1.75s and t=4.0s...constant, downward acceleration during this time interval. This acceleration was *9.8m/s^2*, equivalent to the acceleration of gravity."
NICSTAR 1A 4.3.4] Global Collapse..."The entire building above the buckled column region moved downward in a single unit, as observed, completing the global collapse"
NCSTAR1A p.39/130
"the damage from the debris from WTC 1 had little effect on initiating the collapse of WTC 7."
The NIST WTC7 report has a Fig 3-15 that shows the graph with the regression line yielding acceleration of 32.196ft/s^2. SEE the time interval between 1.75 and 4 is 2.25 sec. the interval where WTC7 does achieve a period of free-fall ACCELERATION.
NCSTAR1A-3.2]"It is likely that much of the burning took place beyond the views of the windows"
"No conclusive evidence was found to indicate that pre-collapse fires were sever enough to have a significant effect on the microstructure that would have resulted in weakening of the steel structure." NIST NCSTAR 1-3C, p. 235
no evidence the type of joining methods, materials, or welding procedures used was improper NIST 1-3 p.99
recovered bolts were stronger than typical. NIST 1-2 p.133
"no core column examined showed temp. above 250C" NIST 1-3 6.6.2
NCSTAR1-3 7.7.2 "because no steel was recovered from WTC7,it is not possable to make any statements about it's quality"
"NIST did not test for the residue from explosives or accelerants" wtc. nist. gov/pubs/factsheets/faqs_8_2006. htm
"the phenomenon that we saw on 9/11 that brought this particular building down was really thermal expansion, which occurs at lower temperatures."
