The denial of a real truther but,but, but . Lesson to be had here everyone you cannot confront people with evidence that deal in speculation as fact.

You proved it how? You made a ridiculous claim with no links or no evidence to present except yeah but.
Unless you can link me to a source for the structural analysis on that building proving how it was built you're just taking another guess.
And before you take the next truther tactic and asked me for the link the burden of proof is on your claims.

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.
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.

Actually you corrected someone else and you've called me ignorant twice.
So if you don't buy the official story what do you believe? You purposely remain vague and then get all pissed if you're misunderstood. So clarifying up a bit would you?
Would you please quit throwing all of your opinions responses and threads at me. Come out in one line in plain English so I can research the building you're talking about that was demolished from the top instead of the bottom. Please name the structure.
The official story is that the North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed due to gravity. This has been critiqued in an analysis by Graeme MacQueen and Tony Szamboti, and in a related analysis by David Chandler (both in the Journal of 9/11 Studies). The Balzac-Vitry demolition was a true gravity-driven collapse. The same analysis that was applied to the World Trade Center is here applied to this known demolition, with contrasting results. This analysis supports the conclusions of both papers referred to above: the North Tower of the World Trade Center was NOT a natural, gravity-driven collapse.
•Verinage demolition technique •All columns on the collapse floor were broken in unison to control debris field •Concrete structure with relatively heavy and strong floor systems •Upper portion falls distance of two floors without any significant contact •Drop was followed by a square, uniform impact between portions, with no visible tilt

The bottom line is there is absolutely no evidence anywhere. All theories on 911 on both sides deal in speculation. Nobody has proof of anything under.
You do realize that Dr. McQueen has also claimed to have figured out the anthrax attacks? To me he is nothing more than the David Wilcox of truther's.
Dr Graeme McQueen, a professor in Scotland and he teaches engineering at a university in Edinburgh, if I remember it right.
He has published some well written papers regarding his critique on the NIST report its engineering parts.
"If I remember it right." How about proof?
"Edinburgh, if I remember it right." Could be Aberdeen instead.
There's a post of mine explaining in detail about the huge misrepresentation of the WTC 7 blueprints by NIST. A famous US lawyer representing A&E filed a lawsuit based on this.
By the way, NIST's whole ridiculous theory of thermal expansion is based on this misrepresentation of the seats of the crossbeams holding column 79 up on each floor of WTC 7.
That whole NIST theory is now toast. On top of the real blueprint, a photo has also been found of the real dimensions of that seat, showing column 79 and that seat while the crossbeam rests on it. From just after completion of WTC 7.
I'll try to find that post for you. The ATS Search engine keeps mixing my screen name up with the word "laptop", which makes it impossible to click on the next ATS search-page in every query I do. It's utterly ANNOYING.
