as i already said, it's no use to argue with people who deny the nuclear attack.
how do you expect to accept that the spire of what was left of the north tower was the consequence of molecularly dissociation which turned both wtc 1 and wtc 2 into dust, lefting only residual structures, which collapsed seconds after the end of the main collapse.
that's stupid: you ask explanation for something about which, whatever i say, you will not believe it.
as if i asked you to explain how the earth was flat, but whatever you say i'll righfully keep believing that the earth planet is nothing else but a freakin' donuts! :-)
it's not the person who uploaded that video of dustification that 'tought' or 'spoon fed' me with the nuclear truth.
i understand that you use what you call, miscall an error, ie the video of dustification, as an excuse not to look at the hot spots. i understand, you feed your cognitive dissonance with whatever can be used! :-)

Yes, that the authorities invoked the term Ground Zero was a sort of Freudian Slip, dropping a clue to the clueless.
It shows how cocky the perps are.
ground zero
noun
noun: ground zero
1.
the point on the earth's surface directly above or below an exploding nuclear bomb.
the site of the World Trade Center in New York, destroyed by terrorists on 11 September 2001.
singular proper noun: Ground Zero; noun: Ground Zero; plural noun: Ground Zeros
a site of devastation, disaster, or violent attack.
"the pictures from Indonesia's ground zero are beyond description"

ALLBAUGH: Well, you have normal debris, you know, computers, paper, you have some areas that are hot pockets because of fuel. It’s just too hot for rescuers to get into those areas. So we do not know yet what’s in those areas, other than very hot, molten material.
The quote is they don’t yet know. Now the rubble is all cleaned up, would you like to give an update.
And again. If the decay of fission products was keeping the 1,000,000 tons of rubble at 1,000 F, people would have died within minutes of arraving at the pile.
Your ignorance, or willing to post blatant falsehoods is horrifying.
9/11 firefighters ARE getting cancer at a faster rate than others, chief medical officer reveals
Soviet nuclear intelligence officer Dimitri Khalezov
2,500 Ground Zero workers have cancer
Over 350 firefighters have now died from radiation poisoning
en.m.wikipedia.org...
Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is a collection of health effects that are present within 24 hours of exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation. It is also called radiation poisoning, radiation sickness and radiation toxicity.
Do you have any idea how long it took them to put out the molten pools in the sub levels.

Even the Zadroga Bill excluded cancers, suggesting a cover-up.
TPTB are doing their best to keep the cancer angle under the rug, but it is fairly well exposed. I saw NBC cover it a month ago, but they never try to play detective, they never ask "why" the young first responders have cancers like the survivors of Hiroshima and Chernobyl.
The cat is out of the bag.

Thyroid Cancer in Las Vegas Firefighters; Are We the Only Ones?
Sherri A. Wilcox
Las Vegas Fire and Rescue, Las Vegas, Nevada
Other tests have provided solid foundation evidence that there are certain chemical exposures which can increase the apparent risk of thyroid cancer (Lope, et al, 2009). Even the most widely accepted medical treatments for some other cancers have now been shown to increase the risk of developing thyroid cancer as a subsequent primary disease (Curtis, et al., 2006). For Las Vegas Fire and Rescue, this project highlighted the need for further study into the potential causes of thyroid cancer, both for itself and for other fire departments and citizens as well. As of this writing, LVFR has nine personnel who do not have a familial thyroid cancer history, have not been excessively exposed to any known source of ionizing radiation, were not previously treated with radiation therapies, have not been exposed to any of the other known chemicals which might increase their risk, and yet all present with the same papillary form of thyroid cancer. There is currently no documentation available which would indicate whether this cancer incidence is particular to Las Vegas’
Thyroid Cancer Rates Are Skyrocketing From Flame Retardants

New study links firefighters, increased risk for cancer

Captain Gadson was diagnosed with thyroid cancer earlier this year. A new, more expensive physical that included ultrasound caught it early.
"If [North Charleston Fire Chief Greg Bulanow] hadn't come in and done this, then my detection would have gone unnoticed unless I personally asked for an ultrasound to be done," said Captain Gadson.
It opened the department's eyes.
"We didn't know what to expect the first time we did such an in depth physical like that," said Chief Bulanow.
What they found was 25 of 230 firefighters tested -- nearly one-fifth -- had nodules on their thyroids. Not all were cancer, but the chief's was.
"Certainly I want to be here to take care of my family and also do my job, but I consider myself very fortunate to have found it early," said Chief Bulanow.
Both the Chief and Captain Gadson have been fighting fires for more than 20 years. They believe those fires are even more deadly now. They're fueled not just by wood, but by plastics.
"Now it's primarily synthetic materials that burn hotter and produce very toxic smoke," said Chief Bulanow.
"It used to be a badge of honor to always have that dirty gear, that tarred up helmet and that dirty mask," said Captain Gadson. "That's the way it was. Now I know better."
It's a strange sight in the department, but a huge, $7,000 washing machine now sits in the fire house off Dorchester Road. Firefighters are not only encouraged to shower, but their gear is cleaned. The chief is even working on getting two sets of gear for every firefighter.
"This is a significant investment in the health and welfare of our people," said Chief Bulanow.
It's an investment the chief and others hope will pay off for generations to come.

In 2012, Shaw had paramedics draw the blood of 12 firefighters after they responded to a fire. Their samples contained three times the level of flame retardants as the general population. Their blood levels of perfluorinated chemicals, which are used as non-stick coatings, were twice as high as those of the World Trade Center first responders.
obviously, the second entry has been added only after 9/11. quite the obvious here, isn't it?
how could the second meaning of 'ground zero' have existed before 9/11 false flag?
die with your false belief.

In terms of nuclear explosions and other large bombs, the term "ground zero" (also known as "surface zero"[1]) describes the point on the Earth's surface closest to a detonation.[2] In the case of an explosion above the ground, ground zero refers to the point on the ground directly below the nuclear detonation and is sometimes called the hypocenter (from Greek ὑπο- "under-" and center).
Generally, the term "ground zero" is also used in relation to earthquakes, epidemics, and other disasters to mark the point of the most severe damage or destruction.
The "Little Boy"that exploded in Hiroshima had a huge damaging effect. The temperature of this fission reaction was about 300,000 kelvin at the center and about 6000 kelvin on the ground below.
The detonation happened at an altitude of 1,968 ± 50 feet (600 ± 15 m)
