This guy, Danny Jowenko R.I.P. was adamant about WTC7 being a controlled explosion demolition, and he was an expert, and no, contrary to some disinfo individuals output, he never changed his mind,

MAYBE, just maybe, these delicate towers really did fall by themselves unassisted:
Unsure of date, but this beautiful photograph was taken when the towers were still being worked on.

Ah, I was waiting for him to be mentioned! Thanks
Once again, there's a lot of convenient editing and manipulation going on here.
In actual fact, he says that he's guessing about the cause of the collapse, and he was shown the footage from the point AFTER the penthouse had collapsed - which is a common tactic of the "truther", because to show that footage of the penthouse collapsing into the building (with no explosions) destroys their argument that the building collapsed free fall.
Ultimately, it looks as though he was presented with a bs video, manipulated to give a certain narrative, and came to a conclusion based on what he saw, just as you all have done.
He is not committed at all to this belief when he's told it happened on the same day, but he's one of those figures the truthers like to cling to for some validation by a professional.

So you now claim that because the FBI faced criticism for not being able to stop a bombing, this means you have reason to suspect that they murdered 3,000 people using a new silent form of explosive which leaves no trace, after flying two passenger jets into the towers, and then demolishing a building they didn't need to demolish (again using a new form of silent explosives which leave no trace)...
And all because they wanted to create a pretext for war in Iraq and Afghanistan?
The FBI, wanting an excuse to go to war...
So basically, when all of your supposed "evidence" is debunked, you then resort to saying "yeah, well why should we trust them!?"
And that's supposed to convince us all that these people murdered 3,000 innocent people in the most elaborate and implausible false flag attack the world has ever witnessed...

You show me ANY evidence that a plane crashed in Shanksville, PA on that day.. A wing, a seat, a piece of luggage, even just ONE body, a leg, an arm, or any other piece that couldn't be easily confused with, I dunno, a small part from a missile.. You show me evidence other than what the Israeli owned American media fed us...

EVERY ground based plane crash leaves OBVIOUS, common sense based observable evidence.. Go take a look, do a little research, please. Find me a case of a disintegrated commercial airliner crash in a field.. Then question why we'd be lied to about it?
originally posted by: johnofsecrets
Building 7... Well, you could drop a commercial airliner directly on top of it from 1,000 feet and it still not going to collapse. Much less, ENTIRELY. Much less, IN ITS OWN FOOTPRINT.. Much less, in less than 10 seconds..

America is definitely screwed, and if this is the amount of collective common sense we have left as a populace, than we may just deserve what is coming to us, for believing what our corrupt government and compromised media masters feed us. I don't truly mean that, I always hope for the best for all of humanity, but my gosh..

I don't understand how you can think the OS is even worth defending. You just expect people to believe what they're told is the truth,

even tho it has never in history looked more like lie? In fact if it were the truth? No way would it look so much like BS to so many.

These people, it turns out, are operating from what I called The Gullible Mind. It is a psychological processing malfunction that filters out information based on its source rather than its integrity. People who operate from The Gullible Mind tend to have misplaced trust in governments, institutions, mainstream news networks, doctors, scientists or anyone who wears the garb of apparent authority.
But how does this work inside their heads? It's an interesting process. Gullible Mind people do believe it is possible for a government (or institution) to lie; but they believe that governments, institutions and doctors choose NOT to lie even when it would serve their own self interests to do so. Follow this carefully, because this is the fascinating part. These Gullible Mind people effectively believe that even though a government official could lie about something, they would never actually do so.

Yes, this was def FINALLY resolved... back in 2001.
The MASSIVE amount of fire debris that crushed the side of the building caused it to collapse.
WHY (or who) would have planted explosives in WTC7? lol.

Rocker. re read my post about th e"pull it" comment. i SAID they meant PULL OUT THE FIREFIGHTERS. youre not understanding what ive been saying it seems. ALso A demo charge would explain th eexplosive that was heard right? It dont have to be a big blow out the windows explosion to blow up a already damaged support beam.

NIST have said that the building came down at freefall speed for 2 seconds - and admit that this does not add up, that this is an anomally.
Freefall will only happen in a planned demolition.
Many anomalies (miracles) happened that day.

11. How could the WTC towers collapse in only 11 seconds (WTC 1) and 9 seconds (WTC 2)—speeds that approximate that of a ball dropped from similar height in a vacuum (with no air resistance)? NIST estimated the elapsed times for the first exterior panels to strike the ground after the collapse initiated in each of the towers to be approximately 11 seconds for WTC 1 and approximately 9 seconds for WTC 2. These elapsed times were based on: (1) precise timing of the initiation of collapse from video evidence, and (2) ground motion (seismic) signals recorded at Palisades, N.Y., that also were precisely time-calibrated for wave transmission times from lower Manhattan (see NIST NCSTAR 1-5A). As documented in Section 6.14.4 of NIST NCSTAR 1, these collapse times show that: “The structure below the level of collapse initiation offered minimal resistance to the falling building mass at and above the impact zone. The potential energy released by the downward movement of the large building mass far exceeded the capacity of the intact structure below to absorb that energy through energy of deformation. Since the stories below the level of collapse initiation provided little resistance to the tremendous energy released by the falling building mass, the building section above came down essentially in free fall, as seen in videos. As the stories below sequentially failed, the falling mass increased, further increasing the demand on the floors below, which were unable to arrest the moving mass.” In other words, the momentum (which equals mass times velocity) of the 12 to 28 stories (WTC 1 and WTC 2, respectively) falling on the supporting structure below (which was designed to support only the static weight of the floors above and not any dynamic effects due to the downward momentum) so greatly exceeded the strength capacity of the structure below that it (the structure below) was unable to stop or even to slow the falling mass. The downward momentum felt by each successive lower floor was even larger due to the increasing mass. From video evidence, significant portions of the cores of both buildings (roughly 60 stories of WTC 1 and 40 stories of WTC 2) are known to have stood 15 to 25 seconds after collapse initiation before they, too, began to collapse. Neither the duration of the seismic records nor video evidence (due to obstruction of view caused by debris clouds) are reliable indicators of the total time it took for each building to collapse completely.
