Why do you keep reposting fairy tales about 9/11? There is zero evidence for mini nukes, even most truthers consider the theories silly!

You're right, that was a crazy thought! Have a dose of reality concerning Agent Bennette.
www.ny1.com...
A Secret Service agent was arraigned Tuesday on charges he stole five of the agency's cars recovered from the World Trade Center site. According to a complaint unsealed in Brooklyn Federal Court, William Bennette, 52, has admitted to the theft. He surrendered to federal authorities Tuesday morning and was later released on $$75,000 bond. Bennette, a retired police officer who has worked for the Secret Service since 1999, was ordered to make an inventory of what was left of the agency's fleet of 179 vehicles assigned to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Instead, according to investigators, he combed an auto graveyard in Brooklyn for unscathed cars. Bennette allegedly used forged government documents and receipts to make it look like the cars were sold to an auto repair shop in Brooklyn. He kept one for himself and gave cars to his mother and sister, and an employee of the auto shop got the last two, authorities say. His lawyer said trauma from the World Trade Center attack may have played a factor in Bennette’s actions.
When called in to the Brooklyn field office for questioning on April 2, Mr. Bennette, who joined the Secret Service in 1999 after retiring from the New York Police Department, said he had forged signatures of agency managers to transfer the titles of the cars, the complaint says. At his arraignment yesterday in front of federal Magistrate Steven M. Gold, Mr. Bennette, wearing a black raincoat and a glum expression, said little other than ''Yes, sir'' and ''That is correct, sir.'' He was released after his wife signed a $75,000 bond. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. Outside the courthouse, Mr. Lieberman said that while his client was not trying to minimize the charges, ''There is a personal side to this story that will come out as the case proceeds.'' He did not go into detail but said that Mr. Bennette had spent much of Sept. 11 helping rescue people at 7 World Trade Center before it collapsed at 5:30 p.m. He said that it would be up to mental health professionals to determine what effect the experience had had on Mr. Bennette.

Dude
Are you suggesting that the molten iron for 3 months is the result of burning office furnishings? Are you saying that the damage observed was the result of office fires and a natural gravitational collapse?

Are you saying all the footage supports progressive collapse? You must have seen different footage because ALL of the witness testimony from that morning as well as the footage of the collapse supports explosives. And there are many engineers to have spoken out, check out all the threads on here.
You clearly haven't watched much footage.
Watch a video of any controlled demolition and then watch the close-up videos of the towers collapsing.
In a controlled demolition, the building seems to consume itself from the bottom up. This is done on purpose so the top floors stay intact as they come down, creating a smaller footprint.
The WTC towers collapsed from the top down, starting with the upper most sections above the damaged area coming down onto the floors beneath.
I am not falling for that one. I never stated "controlled demolition" I said explosives. Just because explosives were used does not automatically mean CD. It just means the building was blown up in away we may not have seen before. Stop trying to fit it in a CD models. In fact stop with your models all together. This is real life son.
So your evidence that explosives were used is the fireball being pushed out of the building by the rushing air of the collapse? You're gonna have to come up with something better than that... son (I really wish there was an eye roll smiley for idiotic remarks like yours). In the closeups of the damaged portion, you can see the structure give way just before the fireball is expelled from the building.
This is real life, boy. The theory that explosives were used to collapse the buildings is fantasy and there isn't a single shred of evidence that suggests otherwise. All the truthers have is opinion, speculation, and photos that are easily debunked. Fantastic claims require fantastic evidence.
I will just go with eye-ball witnesses and leave the rest out. Firefighters, police EMT's news anchors... everyone on the morning of 9/11 reported hearing explosions. How does progressive collapse answer to that inconvenient truth.
Hmmm. There were two towers collapsing. They have mass. The movement of said mass may have caused materials to destruct. Have you ever crushed a concrete cube in a lab? Sometimes quiet, usually very noise. Ever tested the tensile strength or compressive strength of steel? Usually noisy. To say everyone heard explosions is wrong. You have hundreds of people experiencing an unprecedented event and you expect them to understand fully what happens. Unlikely.
Then you go tell all the first responders and everyone that survived that what they heard was wrong. They are not going off memory since the testimony I am referring is from the footage on the ground on 9/11.
One quote I can remember from a senior fire fighter "It's like they planned to bring down the building, boom, boom, boom" I'm busy right now but the footage is easy to find if you care.

It's all about context.
This is just some BS blog. What evidence did it put forth? Observations and opinions. No different than anyone else. That blog wouldn't last a minute of scrutiny on this site. Nice try.

Okay Kiddies, for the umpteenth time, I'm going to post the Jeff Prager NUKED material for your edification; maybe the OS supporters will actually read it this time, I remain ever hopeful...
Prager NUKED pt 1
Prager NUKED pt 2
You'll see photos you've never seen before, many of them uber-zoomable. You'll have to learn a bit about nuclear physics but he walks you through it. You'll actually know what you're talking about regarding what we saw that day, what the aftermath was like, what the evidence unequivocally showed, and a whole lot more!
Cheerio!

Amazing footage...I couldn't help from noticing how the second tower's lower floors were not in the least compromised. The footage really puts into question how these towers could have collapsed symmetrically into their own foot print. There was more than enough structure intact on those lower floors to create enough resistance to the amount of kinetic energy being caused by the collapse of those upper floors. The public took the OS of the collapse hook line and sinker. Let's hope the truth of these 3 towers collapsing will come to light some day.
Exactly. The building below the impact was not compromised at all. IF the heat from the fires DID weaken the structure at the impacted floors, it does not explain the failure of the floors blow the impact.
The force of the weight from the top section would come apart at the impacted floors because the beams were too weak to hold up the top. How could they be intact enough to transfer the energy in a perfect downward force?
The top section would have been ripped apart floor by floor as it was forced down onto the structurally sound bottom section. Once there were only a few floors left on top, there would not be enough weight to rip apart the beams and it would either park or fall off the side.
And again in another thread you fail to understand dynamic impact loading and the resulting progressive collapse. There is some real bad physics being spouted in this thread.
I understand that the bottom section was a complete structure up to the impacted floors and the top section was partially compromised. Your "dynamic impact load" did not have a connection to the bottom section since it collapsed and allowed the top section to fall so the energy would be forced outward where there wasn't a 100% sound structure under it.
Since there is no example of this ever happening, everything you say is theory.
I spend 8 hrs every day arguing with architects and engineers. They all seem to have a problem understanding the real world away from their theories and computer simulations. They don't even know what IFC stands for, I certainly would not take their word for anything.
Sigh. Progressive collapse. The issue with all of this, ALL OF IT, is that this occurred 13 years ago. All the videos, all the reports, all the pictures. 13 years of this evidence in the public domain. Yet for some reason 99.9999% of civils and structural engineers, the insurance investigators, the materials scientists they all just nodded and smiled and said that sounds right. It's a tiny fraction of these areas that disagree. So either they are on the wrong side, or the 99.9999% have been suckered. I dunno. Seems massively incredibly fantastically unlikely.
Are you saying all the footage supports progressive collapse? You must have seen different footage because ALL of the witness testimony from that morning as well as the footage of the collapse supports explosives. And there are many engineers to have spoken out, check out all the threads on here.

I am not arguing if what you say is possible but what you say didn't really happen as far as I can tell. For one those towers were blowing black smoke, and people were seen standing near the impacted sections trying to get air. Unless the heat your are talking about was somehow localized to the perimeter angle iron and core columns, the fires did not seem to be burning hot at all. But maybe it was somehow hot enough up there since there was molten metal found deep in the debris surviving with very little oxygen. That's weird unless it was a chemical reaction or something.
That picture you have of the building that pancaked... is there a video of that we can all see? I would love pull out my stop-watch on that golden egg.

If prager speaks the truth, why is it just an ebook and not on the cover of every newspaper around the world? Why aren't the Russians and Chinese printing it, shouting how the Americans killed Americans so they could make money?
Clue: The US and other governments have had small tactical nukes in their arsenals FOR DECADES NOW. How is their use during 9-11 'silly' when evidence of fission is in the dust?
