REFUTE THAT.

I too was old enough to see and understand the JFK lie and have studied and read much on it over the decades from those who were there. Even the MSM prints that over 80% of Americans believe that the job was "a conspiracy" (even Lyndon Johnson):
www.youtube.com...
but the point that the debunkers of all these events are paid for is to drag out the disclosure and eventual acceptance by the general public over a long enough period of time to a point where they don't really give a damn when it becomes common knowledge. Debunkers love to state that if it was a conspiracy someone would come out and spill the beans, and then convenient forget that many DO come out and have spoken what really happened. How many were murdered over the JFK assassination and how many were silenced or ignored on the 911 job? The shills will convince NO ONE that cares and knows, but they WILL stall those who don't care or who are easily distracted and that is what they are paid to do.

It is apparent that you have never served in the military because "crackpot" theory is what we specialized in and still do today. Most people do not believe ANY official story that comes out because every American everywhere understands that the government lies for a living and cannot be trusted to ever be honest with us. What the majority of Americans feel about such issues is simply apathy, they don't give a damn. They are more concerned with opening day at Shea, or choosing their next vacation destination, if in fact they can even afford one. People do not believe, they just don't care, and THAT is the ace in the hole that you have in your hand sir.

I am more of a Non nobis Domine, non nobis Domine, sed nomine tuo da gloriam kind of guy. I spent many decades as a Green Bay Packer fan but am still protesting the treatment they gave Brett Favre and only watch occasionally. But you are correct I do not have television service any longer because there was simply nothing I cared to view. I do civic service through a local church, though I am not a member and serve the Township Committee and am currently on the ballot to get back onto it. We all have our own ways of entertaining ourselves and to each his own, but not to the point of distraction I would say.
If you are a regular person that chooses to believe what you will about the events we are discussing here, by all means you are entitled to you own opinion. If you are paid to debunk that is fine too because after all, we all have to pay the bills. I am in the unfortunate position of having been schooled in the design of steel structures for many years and while neither you or most others have ever had reason to crack open the AISC Steel Construction Manual to find out the modulus of elasticity of steel is 29,000 kips per square in, I made my living doing such work. In school we even had the good fortune to operate instrumentation that caused failure in steel structures so that we could study the fractures and analyze the ways in which the force vectors imparted loads throughout the structure which caused such failures. Having experienced what I have been fortunate enough to have seen, including managing the maintenance department in a steel forging and fabrication plant, I can say with conviction and even with professional authority that what I saw on 11 Sep 01 was simply impossible and will leave it at that. I understand that most people will have NO comprehension of the whys and how, nor should they and that believing the "story" is really the best way for them to get to sleep every night. In fact, they probably should not even question why. But when you come to a site like this where things like this are the order of the day, well you get what you get.

Well.....after watching all of the footage.....i gotta say they ask some really good questions
Some of the main points they give are hard to refute......especially about the Towers collapsing
I see that this topic never fails to bring out the professional debunkers....Jaffo...dude you are funny
A good job a trying to distract and give doubt ....
have you actually watched the footage....you and the others?
I feel sorry for those who don't question the OS.....shame on you

Everyone, well mostly, else in this thread are trying to have a discussion. You're trying to push your side of the event as truth using buzzwords like "fact" and "science" as well as a litany of fallacious tactics to disengage curious members. It's an odd behavior to say the least. It's like the Official Story is your favorite baseball team and it can do no wrong. I bet you like the Yankees too

The source would not allow me to copy so I took a screen grab.
That describes it as a unusual circumstance. For load values are you making the claim that that building didn't have any steel or the World Trade Center's didn't have any concrete? Lol
Because splitting hairs on that statement is ridiculous.
Here let's just cut to the chase.
One of the arguments that have been raised over the years by members of the 9/11 Truth Movement in regards to the collapse of the three WTC buildings is that they were the first steel-framed high-rise skyscrapers in history to collapse because of fire. Indeed, in all of the history of structural engineering, not a single steel-framed skyscraper has ever totally collapsed due to fire [1]. However, in an attempt to invalidate this argument, numerous defenders of the official story of 9/11 have pointed out that there are several smaller steel structures that have collapsed due to fire. Journalist Chris Mohr, for example, cited numerous steel structures in his recent debate with architect Richard Gage [2]. Here are the most often cited steel structures that have collapsed due to fire (Chris Mohr referenced the first six in his debate with Richard Gage):
• Site and Sound Theater
• McCormick Place
• Kader Toy Factory
• Mumbai High North Platform
• Interstate 580
• World Trade Center 5
• Dogwood Elementary School
• Windsor Tower
• Faculty of Architecture Building
Here I will show why these structures cannot be justifiably used as comparisons to the WTC buildings, based on the estimated damage parameters and fire severity for these structures.

A collapse is one thing but something disintegrating into ashes is something else
You know that big skyscraper that fell down and they decided not to even mention in the 911 official report.

Building 7 was purposely brought down. Whether that plays into the conspiracy theories or not, nothing whatsoever can change the fact that it was purposely brought down in a professional demolition manner. ~$heopleNation

One of the most curious happenings was the (supposed) phone calls from the planes. You cannot get a cell signal at altitude,
It was not a cell phone.
It was the seat back phones used in airliners.
Huge difference.
