All you need to do is find a photo after the collapse that shows the UNCUT ibeams.
If you can do that, I will forget all the other inconsistencies with " a plane or fire caused vertical collapse" and never speak of an inside job again.
Deal?

neutronflux You post so much nonsense. When a 110-floor building collapses you not going to hear explosions on the way down, that noise would be undetectable as these explosions are occurring inside the building. People reported hearing explosions inside the building, basement floor, near the elevators and on different floors untouched by fires. Did you hear this noise personally on TV no that sound is undetectable if you not in or near or close to o the building when it collapsed.
Why would you not hear detonations that would be louder and at higher frequencies than the rumble of building collapse?
Any detonation capable of cutting steel would be 130 to 140 DB, and be heard from the outside.
The collapse of the towers were initiated by buckling outer columns as attested to by video evidence. No cut columns. The core was not cut and dropped, or a shockwave would have traveled up the tower before collapse.
Something initiated the collapse when it was relatively quiet, and it was not detonations with the force to cut steel.
There is no seismic evidence of detonations with the force to cut steel.
There is no visible shockwaves, flashes, evidence of ejected splintered steel in buildings where tarps, traps, nor water barrels were set up to catch shrapnel. Items commonly used in implosions to protect nearby property and persons.
Example of a building not properly set up to trap shrapnel from an implosion.
Katie Bender's family commemorate 20 years since Royal Canberra Hospital implosion
www.canberratimes.com.au...
The public's attendance was encouraged by the then ACT Liberal Government. Katie was standing more than 400m away from the explosion but killed instantly when she was hit by a piece of flying steel.
Break
Seconds after the explosion on that Sunday afternoon, Katie was was killed instantly by a steel fragment sent flying from 430 metres across the lake. It was thought to be travelling at 140km/h.
Any evidence splintered steel was ejected out of buildings mostly built out of steel columns at 140 km/h?

I think it’s sad people are suckered by the charlatans of the truth movement with false pictures of thermite cuts, fraudulent thermite research, and pseudoscience. People that enable the exploitation of 9/11, and ignore the real incompetence of the government.
Then provide evidence something other than inward bowing leading to vertical column buckling resulting in collapse for the WTC Towers? As seen in the video in the linked to thread below.

I find it odd I want to talk about the evidence in the actual video and audio of the Towers’ collapse. The actual moment the collapse was caught on video. From different angles. And the lack of evidence for planted explosives.
You want to change the subject to Shanksville and passports to prove planted explosives at the WTC?
Don’t worry, typical conspiracist’s behavior.....
Why is the thermite research fraudulent? Professor Harrit is a professor who did teach at a University? Are you just unhappy with the results? The Skeptics have failed to debunk his findings so not sure why you keep saying its fraudulent? The Skeptics claimed the red/grey chips were just primer paint but when they tried to ignite the primer paint at the temperatures Harrit observed nothing happened.
I don’t know? Something about a journal caught in play to pay publishing. The papers’s peer reviewed skipped the appointed peer review referee. The person that was bypassed over as referee quit the journal over the fraudulent action of the journal. A person that helped with the paper’s writing was a peer reviewer. Another breach of ethics. The research into thermite never completed the discovery process. The samples were never independently verified by other labs. And other samples of WTC dust analyzed revealed no thermite.

Here is Jim Millette's latest reply to the new 9/11 Truth chant that "he didn't do DSC so his testing is invalid":
Chris,
My assessment of the situation is that researchers performed DSC on some WTC chips and found what they thought was an exothermic reaction. They then formed a hypothesis that this might be caused by thermite materials in the dust. As is required in scientific inquires their hypothesis was testable. They set out to confirm their hypothesis by testing the chips. Their microscopical analysis showed some results that they concluded were consistent with thermite or nano-thermite. I was asked to analyze the materials to see if I could confirm or not confirm their conclusion. My initial tests showed similar findings in terms of the characteristics of the chips. However, additional testing following analytical forensic methods showed that the chips were not thermite or nano-thermite. We repeated the tests on 4 different samples from different locations and found the same result – not thermite. It seems to me that the ball is now in their court. The DSC testing can suggest a type of material based on thermal properties but cannot be used to prove the existence of thermite. If they believe that the DSC results clearly show an exothermic reaction they need to come up with another testable hypothesis as to what the chips are as they are not thermite.
Jim
Here is another link on another study that was going to prove thermite? And after something like 50 months, people are still waiting on the results. Sort of like AE’s WTC 7 evolution’s finished report, and opening the report to public review?
Any Updates on Mark Basile's Study?

And if my understanding of the Harrit’s paper is correct, quote from the paper thermite was found? Or does the paper claim a thermite like reaction occurred?

Professor Harrit samples seem unique I will agree with you on that, but you have ignored what he said. The red/grey chips they saw are unreacted thermite and they can only be seen by microscope. If unreacted that means for some reason the chips did not ignite. Thermite of this size would be nano-thermite ( nano just means tiny or small)
So this person admits the characteristics are consistent Professor Harrit was not lying. He just doubts their conclusion what they saw was thermite? So what does he think the red/grey chips are then if not thermite?

I found the attitude concerning the Passport odd. It is a fact personal items are expected to survive crashes. The passport was not needed as evidence, or used as a key piece of evidence. So why plant it? Why the risk? If it was planted, it could have been anyone? Like a co-conspirator wanting to make sure the individual hijacker was made known?
Where there are any passports belonging to passengers found? There were two planes that crashed in New York. It just not believable a passport would escape the plane and travel in the air for a mile before landing. Sep 11 was a Sunny day the wind to carry it would not be there. And we know this terrorist was not shown on any STV video at any airport on 9/11.
The passport was found a few blocks away on Vesey street among jet wreckage. Please cite the source claiming it was found 1 mile away.
And it’s expected personal items will survive a jet crash. Even jets knocked out of the sky by missiles.

No, nanoparticles are between 1 and 100nm (ie smaller than bacteria) not just tiny or small
And the red/grey chips are quite likely flakes of primer paint used to coat the girders before construction. The thermal output certainly doesn't match thermite
First reports where the passport was found blocks away from the crash site. Then the report was updated narrowing the distance down and was reported it was found on Vesey Street. Who knows if the update to where the passport was found is legitimate?
I think it's unbelievable a passport would escape a jet-fueled explosion unscathed.
The plane was going over 400 to 500mph an hour when it crashed and got devoured by the building. Even a block away what momentum forced the passport to fly over there, you think the passport would land somewhere near the building on the ground?
The 130b- is the noise of a power drill or security alarm. Twin Towers falling would have sounded like a 2.5 to 3.5 earthquake .

Noise Sources and Their Effects
Actually, truly nobody knows where the collapse event initiated. All you see is the severe crushing and then a ball of fire, then you see building parts starting flying everywhere as the buildings are coming down floor by floor.
www.nist.gov...
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.

Yes, the size of red/grey chips is 100nm that only can be seen with an electron microscope.
The primer paint has been debunked for a number of years now. NIST listed in their report the primer paint used, and the manufacturer. Harrit had gotten samples of the primer paint used. He discovered the samples did not match. The chemical composition of the primer paint is not the same as the red/grey chips. So we know the primer paint explantaion does not work.
Harrit tested the Red/Grey chips at 430c and they ignited and Iron Microspheres were produced, nothing happened when he carried out the exact same experiment on the WTC towers primer paint.
InhaleExhale A few blocks in New York is a good distance, the streets are long. Maybe not a mile, either way, half a mile or less it still unbelievable a passport escaped from a plane, escaped the jet-fueled fire, started flying in the sky ( no wind, by the way, was a nice Sunny day) and then landed blocks away maybe?
Humans don't take off over buildings and end up on another street?
I not arguing items survive plane crashes, it just not believable a passport would be found when you see what happened to the plane and the resulting fireball.

neutronflux I never read any reports the passport was found with Jet Wreckage. When the towers came down jet wreckage would probably reach to Vesey street as it only a block away.
Did any of the 9/11 passengers passports survive?
