9/11 and the Science
of Controlled Demolitions
www.skeptic.com...
3WHAT ABOUT THE ALMOST FREE-FALL COLLAPSE OF THE TWIN TOWERS? The key is the “almost” modifier. If I told you I was making almost $100,000 and you found out I was making only $67,000, you’d say I was exaggerating. So stop exaggerating the collapse speed of the WTC Towers! The 80,000 tons of structural steel slowed down the collapses of the Twin Towers to about ⅔ (two-thirds) of free-fall.3 And the core collapsed at about 40% of free-fall speed, coming down last.4 According to Richard Gage: “To bring a building symmetrically down, what we have to do is remove the core columns.” But on 9/11 the stronger core columns came down last, which violates this supposed most fundamental rule of controlled demolition.

Failure of Welded Floor Truss Connections from the Exterior Wall during Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers
Failure of connections, as a result of overloading, occurred within the heat-affected zone of the base metals
app.aws.org...
Summary
Analysis of the connections supporting the composite floor system of the WTC towers showed that at and below the im- pact floors, the greater majority (above 90%) of the floor truss connections were either bent downward or completely re- moved from the exterior column. This was probably related to the overloading of the floors below the impact region after col- lapse initiation. Depending upon weld joint geometry, detachment of the main load-bearing seats was a result of either fracture in the heat affected zone of the base material (standoff plate detached from spandrel) or through the weld metal (seat angle detached from standoff plate). Failure in both cases was assumed to be a result of a shear mechanism as a result of overloading from floors above impacting those below. There did not appear to be a significant change in distribution of failure modes of the floor truss connections when comparing those connections inside vs. outside of the impact region or those ex- posed to pre-collapse fires and those that were not.

does the " 9/11 truth bomb " even exist ?
For the sake of this thread, lets say it does. From what I have seen, an inside job where all three WTC buildings where brought down by controlled demolition is the most reasonable explanation to account for the damage that was done.
They why is there no evidence of CD in the video, audio, seismic, metallurgical evidence. Because there was no planted pyrotechnics. There was no CD.
The evidence of a controlled demolition is incontrovertible, maybe you missed the memo or are simply suffering a serious case of cognitive dissonance but steel framed high rises don't glide through otherwise intact understructure at near freefall speed without a universal loss of structural support from the central columns, which is only possible in a controlled demolition or a fairy tale.

Did you miss the central columns still standing after the collapse?
Of course you did.

I guess I am bad about this too........
You expect a person to read through a thread before stating debunked claims!
The conspiracists way is to state every argument as if it is new and fresh every time it is posted. No matter how much video is provided, or how many credible sources citing actual evidence is cited. While ignoring the DNA testing, the metallurgy of the twin towers, coroner’s reports, physical evidence, the steel columns on display around the world, the ticket purchases, the money trails, the evidence from the terrorist’s personal life........

And there is video evidence of the twin tower columns buckling. Post a video of the columns being cut during collapse?

A few seconds after the impact of the second tower, there was a huge explosion in the area between the North Tower, WTC 1, and WTC 6.

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

How about posting some evidence of a steel framed high rise suffering a universal footprint collapse due to fire prior to 9/11.

I trust you are familiar with the term 'slag'? Notice the angular cut column, as well as RESCUE personnel. You're not one of those is going to try to claim they were cutting those columns during the initial rescue operations are you?

The clincher is that the column was still there earlier that day, with no cut. On October 29th.

How about you giving examples of a building with a similar design that suffered similar damage and DIDN'T collapse? Then you might have a point
Good luck

Good point.
3 buildings did this in the same place on the same day... September 11th 2001.
Now find an example where this has happened before or after that date.
