I think he is saying that an explosion capable of cutting through the supports would register on local seismic scales..
Not just make a popping sound.

Bringing the GWOT was not the ONLY reason for the attacks at WTC. There were many goals accomplished that day.
Perhaps the most critical goal was destroying the records at the pentagon. Read the work of E.P. Heidner.

Well genius, how did the building fall down then? No debris hit it from 1 or 2, no plane hit it. If it wasn't a controlled demolition how did the building come down. Buildings are kinda made to stay up.

You do realize that building 7 had 24 core column that would've all had to collapse in complete synchronicity to achieve the collapse that building 7 had, right?
The odds of fire being able to do that are zilch. I'm sure you'll ask me for sources on that. The only sources I have are common sense and logic.

plural synchronicities
1 : the quality or fact of being synchronous
2 : the coincidental occurrence of events and especially psychic events (such as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality —used especially in the psychology of C. G. Jung

The final report describes how debris from the collapse of WTC 1 ignited fires on at least 10 floors of WTC 7 at the western half of the south face. Fires on Floors 7 through 9 and 11 through 13 burned out of control, because the water supply to the automatic sprinkler system had failed.

triggering a rapid succession of structural failures that moved from east to west. All 23 central columns, followed by the exterior columns, failed in what's known as a "progressive collapse"--that is, local damage that spreads from one structural element to another, eventually resulting in the collapse of the entire structure.

Do you have proof of CD other than you don’t understand fire, structural steel expands and weakens when heated, thermal stress, and structural steel buckling?
State what principal states columns had to fail in complete synchronicity. What does that even mean? Like a row of dominoes falling?

Do you mean something like WTC 7 steel being exposed to fires over a long duration to cause buckling and bowing.
As the building showed signs it was undergoing structural failure as quoted from fire fighter.
Then once a structural item totally failed, the failure started a cascade of failures in columns already damaged and bowed by fire and thermal stress. A cascade of dynamic loading that was beyond the design limits of the remaining health steel columns to stop?

So they could orcastrate 911 but couldn’t use a paper shredder??
They could orcastrate 911 but they couldn’t fake a power failure that wiped the system?!?!
The thing is for a group with the authority and resources to perpetrate 911. Insurance scams, court cases and pentagon records are small potato’s...
Any group who could orcastrate 911 wouldn’t need tax scams. They would have access to the money printing machines..
There is no motivation I can think of where 911 wouldn’t be bringing a nuke to a knife fight..
It’s too expensive and risky to ever be the most logical course of action..
