Thank you for the informing video.
I agree with the narratives "opinions" and he does asked very good questions.
He is correct, fires and jet fuel would not be enough to weaken the entire WTC structure to cause the collapse, something else was in the WTC that shouldn't have been there.
The question is what was it, and how did it get in all three WTC?
The video narratives proves beyond doubt, that all the other high-rises that caught fire, and some burnt the entire high-rise are still standing today, how is it the two WTC, one fell, after only burning for an hour?
No one needs to be an Engineer, or an Architect to see something is wrong with the government OS of the WTC.
Fact is NIST had a preconceived notion that there was no explosives used, yet NIST admits to "never" testing for any explosive residue or evidence of demolition, how ironic is that?
Sorry, but from my experience, jet fuel or any sort of 'fuel' mixed with a strong gust of wind rich in oxygen will bring a high rise down.

Grenfell tower was a concrete building, not a steel frame, and it was not hit with a directed energy weapon. I wish you guys would at least look at what Judy Wood has to say instead of dismissing her and buying into the OS like a bunch of sheep. Judy Wood might sound weird on the surface but dig deeper people, the facts and truths are in there. She is the only one to sue the government.

Yet we just watched Grendel tower burn for hours and hours...yet it didn't collapse in on itself either.
Something odd here.

Did you ever look at the connection to hurricane sandy? Judy woods has the answers and they are the truth.

I, Jose L. Torero, declare:
1. I am the Director of the BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. I was previously an Associate Professor, Fire Protection Engineering at the University of Maryland. I have authored 20 book chapters and more than 300 technical publications in a broad ,may of subjects associated with fire safety engineering. I was awarded the Arthur B. Guise Medal by the Society of Fire Protection Engineers in 2008 in recognition of eminent achievement in advancing the Science of Fire Protection. I am Chair of the Fire & Safety Working Group at the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and Vice Chair of the International Association for Fire Safety Science. My curriculum vitae is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2. I hold three academic degrees: (1) BEng. Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (1989); (2) M.S. University ofCalifornia at Berkeley (1991); and (3) PhD. University of California at Berkeley (1992).
3. In 2003 I was retained by counsel for plaintiffs in this litigation to serve as consulting fire protection engineer. [make this aftidavit based upon the work that 1 have done in studying the factors that contributed to the total collapse of 7 World Trade Center (WrC7).
4. I have reviewed thousands of documents, drawings, and photographs, and actively pmticipated in and reviewed the computer modeling performed on behalf of the plaintiffs in this case.
5. The opinions that follow are based on that review and activity, and are made to a reasonable degree of scientific probability. These opinions and the data and materials relied upon in forming these opinions are more fully set forth in my report dated February 12, 2010, attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof.
6. Based on my work to date, including computer modeling performed by me and my staff at the University of Edinburgh in which many columns were removed in the model to ascertain the effect on the structure of the building, it is my opinion that any structural dmnage caused by debris trom the collapse of WTCI or WTC2 played no pm1 in the collapse ofWTC7.
7. Based on my work 10 date, including computer modeling performed by me and my staff at the University of Edinburgh, it is my opinion that a diesel fuel fire occurred on September 11, 2001 on the fifth floor of WTC7 in the area of the transfer trusses. Such fires. fueled by between 7,350 mId 9,300 gallons of diesel fuel from a leak in the Salomon Brothers' Standby Generator System, would have been of such high temperatures and lasted for such duration that they would have compromised the strength o f the transfer trusses, caused their failure, mld ultimately caused the failures o f Columns 79 andlor 80 leading to a global collapse of WTC7.
8. Specifically, a diesel fuel fire in the fifth floor mechmlical rool11 would heat: (1) the members of Truss 2 that are fully immersed in the mechanical room, including Columns 77, 80, and the eastern diagonal of Truss 2; and (2) the members of Truss 1 immersed in the north wall of the mechanical room, though to a somewhat lesser degree.
9. The diesel fuel fire would have generated sufficiently high structural temperatures in the members afTruss 2 to cause them to lose strength and fail.
10. This failure of the eastern side of Truss 2 would have caused load redistribution towards Truss I and Column 79, which would overload these members. The east diagonal of Truss 1, which had the lowest factor of safety, would have likely failed first and resulted in the subsequent failure ofColull1ll 79. This was manifested viSibly as the sinking of the East Penthouse.
11. The combined effect oflhe failure oflhe eastern side ofTru" 2, Column 79 and the east diagonal of Truss 1, would have resulted in significant load transfer to Columns 73 and 74, as weI! as the core. This was manifested visibly as tlle "kink", As Columns 73 and 74 were not immersed in the mechanical room, and therefore not significantly heated, a delay was observed between the sinking ofthc penthouse and the subsequent "kink",
12. As described in the Second Declaration ofOuy Nordenson, loss of the eastern region of
the building'S interior created a large area of laterally unbraced perimeter frame and activated the fracturing of the floor slabs at the western trench headers leading to global co!apse.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing statements made by me are true, I am aware that ifany ofthe foregoing statements made by me are wilJfully faIse,l may be subject to punishment.

So hilarious. Just another video of nothing but innuendo and fantasy. A call for those not able to discern from the cons of the truth movement.
And none of you can talk at length about a lawsuit that went into great detail about the short comings of the WTC 7 design, the events that lead to collapse, and the court testimony why WTC 7 collapsed.

Guilty as charged. But please do elaborate on this lawsuit and the findings.
I take it you have read the report and can point out where we can find the important bits.
You know, the ones where it contradicts with what we have seen in the video.
A summary would be nice too.

Isn't this the explanation that is negated in the video? Including the computer model?
Even if it is not, does it matter?
I mean, there are experts on both sides, how do you know which of these we should believe?
From what I've seen in the video, the experts at NIST are not to be trusted with their story.
You can see they are under a lot of pressure to convince the public that their b.s. statement is the truth. Can't prove it, just reading body language.

You believe a video because it tells you what you want to hear..
Aegis lawsuit and sworn given testimony.
So your belief is based on faith, not arguments?
Jones did a debunked test where he falsified thermite in the paper, it's been debunked. It's about as credible as the Judy Woods energy weapons.
Did Aegis test any of the steel for any chemical particle, residue, for any kind of use of demolition? Of course not.
