False premises. What method of CD would not be known to engineers. And there still would be physical evidence. As in light distortion and visible signs of the building and material off gassing if being hit with a energy ray in the provided clip. And the claim is the resistance of every floor had to be removed for the witnessesed collapse speed to fit the CD model. You are still talking ten to twenty energy devices per floor? Chemical probably in nature.

That's a good one. 'All the engineers know every method of CD, being no method is unknown to engineers!'
The military has never developed anything at all, unknown to the public, right?
Yikes...
Those collapses happen because all supports were removed, milliseconds apart, throughout.
Show me any massive object, being supported atop some structure, drops from mid-air, onto the supporting structure, magically removes all of the supports, in precise sequential order.
No excuses.

He could have come back, and in the meantime to discover that Geiger counters, no matter how fancy cannot detect all forms of radiation.
Let's apply Occam and say that the reason WTC looked like a frigging nuclear bomb went off there, was because a nuclear bomb HAD gone off there. Occam Rules, BTW
That was fortunately not the case, Borri found, using a portable liquid scintillation counter, which measures radioactivity like a Geiger counter. The high-tech portable gadget he carried, one of the few available in the United States, is far more precise than its century-old cousin, the Geiger, counter with a much more refined ability to detect any kind of radioactivity.

"Precise sequential order" implicates gravity, doesn't it, unless you have evidence of the top secret "Harry Potter Device?"
Nutty 9-11 Physics
www.uwgb.edu...
So according to the seismic record, the first impacts are about ten seconds after the onset of collapse. That's the free-falling debris. Seismic signals continued for 15 more seconds. So it took at least about 25 seconds for the buildings to collapse. The seismic records are probably the best information because the last stages of collapse were obscured by dust, but a time indexed series of video frames on the 9-11 Research site shows the collapse of one tower still in progress after 19 seconds. So the collapse speed was less than half of free-fall speed. Also:
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.
And the people who like to take "ten seconds" and "essentially in free fall" literally don't seem to care much about paragraphs like this:
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.
9-11 troofers are a lot like some Biblical fundamentalists. Anything that they want to believe is to be taken with absolute literalness, and anything that contradicts what they want to believe, they just ignore.

So a silent nuclear bomb went off to cause a building to fall down in to itself in such a way the truth movement claims it looked like a classic building CD implosion. But now it looks like a nuclear bomb went off? Can you contradict yourself any further?

No, it's done with explosives in CD's.
Removing the supports in a precise, sequential order, ALLOWS gravity to bring everything straight down, into the building's footprint.
If the supports are removed randomly, going from an upper floor, to a lower floor, it will fail to collapse properly. The charges also have to detonate within milliseconds of each other, in the exact order. If not, the building will not collapse either.
Because the charges aren't yet detonated on the floor impacted by the upper structure, there will be resistance against the downward force of the upper structure. Even if the resistance slows the collapse down by a half-second, it will be enough time for charges to detonate on several lower floors, that ARE set correctly. Since the upper structure was delayed, it is now flying in mid-air, chasing the lower floors. Not a good thing, obviously.
This is why the 3 WTC buildings did not , COULD not, collapse on their own, nearly free-fall, in their own footprints.
If you removed only a couple of explosive charges at critical supports, a building would fail to collapse like that.
But apparently, three WTC buildings collapsed on the same day without removing ANY supports!
And nobody has to prove it, because you have 'experts' spewing about simulations!
How anyone can live in such a world of denial, is truly mind-boggling.

I never said they were silent. YOU said they were silent, and now you attempt to blame that false claim on me.
Yes, as Plato or Aristotle said, when the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

No, it or they were not silent. Why would you say that?
Good heavens man, Willy Rodriguez and his mates reported the first one, experienced the first one. Don't know about the others.
Silent? Are you serious?

Unless the supports were all removed, milliseconds apart, floor by floor, in exact sequence, such a collapse is impossible.

They?
Experienced the first one?
So not only did one nuclear device detonate but multiple nuclear devices?
What was it? 3? one for each building?
