Melted steel evidence and 45 degree angle cut.
Debunked: The WTC 9/11 Angle Cut Column. [Not Thermite, Cut Later]

Kausel also reported that he had made estimates of the amount of energy generated during the collapse of each tower. "The gravitational energy of a building is like water backed up behind a dam," he explained. When released, the accumulated potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. With a mass of about 500,000 tons (5 x 108 kilograms), a height of about 1,350 ft. (411 meters), and the acceleration of gravity at 9.8 meters per second 2, he came up with a potential energy total of 1019 ergs (1012 Joules or 278 Megawatt-hours). "That's about 1 percent of the energy released by a small atomic bomb," he noted.
The M.I.T. professor added that about 30 percent of the collapse energy was expended rupturing the materials of the building, while the rest was converted into the kinetic energy of the falling mass. The huge gray dust clouds that covered lower Manhattan after the collapse were probably formed when the concrete floors were pulverized in the fall and then jetted into the surrounding neighborhood. "Of the kinetic energy impacting the ground, only 0.1 percent was converted to seismic energy," he stated. "Each event created a (modest-sized) magnitude 2 earthquake, as monitored at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Observatory, which is located about 30 kilometers away from New York City." Kausel concluded that the "the largest share of the kinetic energy was converted to heat, material rupture and deformation of the ground below."

It's one example. Like i stated earlier i wouldnt want to spend a great deal of time arguing and trying to convince a closed minded fool that it was a false flag. Im not an engineer, instead I'm a critical investigstive researcher but these guys are engineers.

Unfortunately your NIST backed evidence is bias and paid off. Stop focusing on thermite and focus maybe on all the other non engineering related points I made that are just too concidental.
Good luck!

You
Melted steel evidence and 45 degree angle cut.
Sad. The 45 degree cut steel? Your using something debunked and soundly debunked. It’s pitiful the truth movement lies hangs on from people buying into a fantasy.

So? Your world view of the WTC is based off a column proven cut during cleanup. And a lie pushed by AE and Richard Gauge?

Something to consider in response to your three points.

sarcasm or what? if it is lol, if it's not.... i can see that maybe that the way i wrote the first sentence could confuse some. but the rest of the post is pretty clear i think.

"Twin Tower architect, Paul Laffoley tells of the Bin Laden Construction Co. asking him where to put the demolition charges" Paul describes a meeting with Yamasaki and Bin Laden Construction Company reps: And they would go around to different desks, and one of them came over to me. You know, he was wearing a turban and all this kind of stuff....And he says, 'Where shall we put the demolition devices?' And I said, 'What the hell are you talking about? This is a piece of paper; there's nothing up there yet.' They put in demolition devices to facilitate removal of the and easy re-development.
This is the interview with WTC architect Paul Laffoley.
The interview starts about 30 min into the radio show. About 1/2 inch along the play line.

Dropping the WTC Towers only required the core matrix to be blown, and that was not difficult to put together in the weeks before the attacks. Simple magnetically attached C-4 blasting packs and thermate cutting charges at pre-determined points within the center core, placed by teams using the freight elevators during weekend engineering shifts (there were many of those during the summer of 2001), and all of these triggered with IED type RF receiving triggers, and the whole sequence programmed into a laptop with a transmitter in a building with line-of-sight proximity.
The secondary conclusion of our study is that the collapse of WTC 7 was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building.

Looks like the 9/11, in-house government A.I. machine hasn't been updated, it's still using the same database as last year

That means it was a controlled demolition. Why don't they just say that? Unless they feel it was massive termites striking all at once.

_Hand drawn_ evidence from WTC5 floor connections, how many of these do we have from WTC7? Do you have any factual, material evidence on WTC7 floor connections?
