Katie Bender's family commemorate 20 years since Royal Canberra Hospital implosion

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.

Ehh. I think the whole controlled demolition theory is bunk but it cant hurt to sit back and let them shake the tree and see if anything falls out. Probably wasn't controlled demolition but I'm still suspicious of 9/11. Just my gut.

At approximately 2:00 pm, firefighters noticed a bulge in the southwest corner of 7 World Trade Center between the 10th and 13th floors, a sign that the building was unstable and might cave to one side or "collapse".[32] During the afternoon, firefighters also heard creaking sounds coming from the building and issued uncertain reports about damage in the basement.[33] Around 3:30 pm FDNY Chief Daniel A. Nigro decided to halt rescue operations, surface removal, and searches along the surface of the debris near 7 World Trade Center and evacuate the area due to concerns for the safety of personnel.[34]

The lower portions of both buildings' cores (60 stories of WTC 1 and 40 stories of WTC 2) remained standing for up to 25 seconds after the start of the initial collapse before they too collapsed.[44]

You can watch the collapse of WTC 1, 2, and 7 from the video evidence. There is zero evidence of controlled demolitions.

Except, of course, all the evidence that it couldn't have been anything but...
Like basic physics.
I guess I'll go back to the WTC7 tower footage and watch carefully where the plane hit...

Can you form an actual example and argument.
Or do you mean impossible as it it would be impossible for controlled demolition systems to survive the jet impacts and fires to initiate the collapse of each twin tower at the sites of the jet impacts.
It's rather easy to give you an actual example.
As to how the demolition was accomplished. That is by taking out the outer core columns every third floor and the corners of the perimeter.
The molten metal found in the rubble was probably from use of thermite in the fire affected areas, used to initiate the collapses. After the collapses started explosives would have been used on the core columns to break the welds to ensure the collapse continued reliably and the sounds would be masked by the collapse itself. Most of the discharges would have been contained within the perimeter and those that weren't would be masked by the debris falling outside. However, it wasn't a perfect job and we do see some ejections.
The amount of explosive needed to provide a concussion powerful enough to break the welds on the core columns is significantly less than that needed to cut through them. These charges could have been tamped to cause most of the energy to go into the column and reduce the noise level.
The arguments made by debunkers like Mark Roberts, that the sound levels would be much higher if explosives were used, are simply bare assertions. Roberts and others like him do not consider methods like tamping and breaking the welds to accomplish the demolition. They don't do the calculations which show it is feasible to minimize the percussive noise to a level consistent with that of the collapsing material, while still generating more than enough force to remove the column by breaking the weld.
That's how you take down buildings that size to fall into their own footprint. You shear off the columns with thermite at regular intervals.
The base of the columns would look like this...

In your world an airplane caused that.

This photo from Oct 29, 2001 shows the angle cut column after it has been cut. It also shows the adjacent column as it falls to the ground, having just been cut.

My Final Word To The Skeptic's........ The ones that will not accept anyone's opinion on 9/11. The ones who unquestionably believe the government's official story. The official story was brought too you by the exact same people that told us beyond any doubt and there was proof to back it up that Saddam Hussein was harbouring weapons of mass destruction which was the basis of attacking Iraq and killing thousands of innocent people all based on another false flag I rest my case

It has nothing to do with the official narrative. It has everything to do with the truth movement uses right out lies of WTC planted Pyrotechnics. Its has everything to do with the video, audio, seismic, physical evidence does not support CD at the WTC.
Please cite the most credible evidence of WTC controlled demolitions.
The ones who unquestionably believe the government's official story.
The main reason you don't hear the explosions is because the news footage was taken a fair distance away using telephoto gear the microphones would not pick the sound from that distance also in amateur footage taken closer most of the sound is obscured by people yelling and screaming.
However listening to first responders whom I'm sure know what an explosion sounds like reported hearing boom boom boom boom as the towers collapsed .
Another anomalies that defies logic considering the initial explosion how did they find a paper passport down on the pavement
It is obvious to some people WTC7 came down by controlled demolition.
You can't find another building example in history and can compare to the collapse of WTC7 on 9/11.
WTC7 came down by random fires according to NIST

Who would have thought,
of coarse its obvious, whats not obvious to those that find it so obvious is why they believe what they do and how they believe what they do.

exactly
no other building has been damaged by another collapsing building to make the comparison.

No mention what so ever of any other damage, just a few random office fires?
