Back on topic.
It is unfortunate that we can no longer see 911eyewitness (Rick Speigel)'s posts. However it's offensive nature and his constant linking to other sites and his product made it necessary.
For those who saw his posts, I think he showed his true colors (if it was indeed Rick) by saying that he wasn't qualified to speak about the physics of the collapses. If I were to "star" in a video making scientific claims, for integrity's sake I would make sure that the science was correct. He was driven enough to make the video, but uninterested in researching what it says. To me, that points to Rick being interested in one thing, the payoff.
Why else would he claim revalations only available in his next video for $19.95?
Out of all the bunkum claims made in his video, are any of them correct?
The smoke from the base was shown to be cars and debris burning.
His cannonball illustration was misleading at best.
The seismic energy to KE link is nonexistent.
And what exactly do the flashes of sunlight off helicopters prove?
IMHO the sounds his video highlights, sounds more like wind hitting the camera edited to sound louder.
Is it really believable that one guy recorded those sounds out of the hundreds of cameras and microphones on the scene at that point?

I saw how Agent Smith tried to misrepresent the cannonball video for the benefit of those who haven't seen it. He said it tried to show the origin of the debris but it didn't. The projectile motion experiment was showing that the ARC of the projectile is NON-HORIZONTAL.
Agent Smith also avoided the demolition squibs. Hmmm. and he avoided the frames that show the top debris hitting close to the side of the tower where it logically would. Not 600 feet away in the top of the Winter Garden.

I thought he was the cameraman. Does that mean he has to do everything in a project? Let me try to help you understand the physics.
Cars burning...
That may fool someone who hasn't seen the video. But if you heard 9 explosions and see 9 corresponding dust clouds going close to the top of the WTC7 at 600 feet, the ol' car burning is a joke.
Seismic energy to KE link nonexistent...
Ever heard of the Richter magnitude seismic scale? How many grades were you 'left behind' anyway?
If you had actually checked you would have also found that seismic energy can be represented in tons of TNT explosive.
The fact that two identical towers recorded 100% different seismic energies could only be ignored by FEMA and NIST because they are part of the coverup team.
Sunlight reflecting off helicopter...
Ha ha, yeh deep from within the dark smoke clouds seconds before the south tower made history as the first steel frame structure to turn into dust at the speed of gravity. The Tripod 2 FEMA cleanup crew forgot about Hoboken?
Bombs are just wind noise...
Amazing how the wind noise didn't affect the radio report.
The bomb signatures have already been given the CSI stamp of authenticity on other boards using spectrograph analysis of underground explosions. The signatures match and anyone who listens to the DVD can tell immediately that the wind noise claim is just lame disinfo.

The "CSI stamp of authenticity?"
CSI is authentic?

Links? Or should we just take your word for it?

While you can represent seismic energy that way, why don't you show us the direct correlation to KE that you claim. Being able to represent seismic energy in TNT does not mean you can just assign that as KE. There is no direct link, and all the petty insults in the world won't make it true.

There are direct connections between matter and energy (E=mc², anyone?), let alone two different kinds of energy. It's just a matter of figuring out how it was calculated. I guess you can doubt them all you want, but I would say that it could certainly be done with someone with the right knowledge.

While it is true there is some link between the two, that does not mean you can take the value for seismic energy and simply plug it in anywhere. I'm sure it can be figured out, but that's not the same as what they do in the video. They just take the seismic figure and tell us that it equals the KE of the caps without showing why that makes any sense.
But hey, if you really want to accept those figures then we can say that each cap hit with the energy of roughly 2.5 tons of TNT. More than enough energy to bring the whole thing crashing down.
Also we can say that since each figure is different, that accounts for the different height of the floors above the crashes, and points to a gravity driven collapse.
If they were both the same figure it would point to the same explosives being used in both buildings.

Take a poll on how many ATS members believe the official pancake fantasy and you'll see that you're just talking to yourselves.

FEMA quoted Lamont-Doherty's seismic measurements in its report.
Isn't that good enough for you?
2.3 for the north tower and 2.1 for the south tower.
The interesting thing is that since the Richter magnitude scale is logarithmic this equates to almost double the reading for the north tower when compared to the south tower.
Have you really watched the DVD or just some doctored torrent?
Since both towers are virtually identical how can the north tower debris hit the ground with twice as much energy as the south?
Doesn't matter what floor the collapse started on, double the energy from two identical buildings means there must have been some additional energy source involved with the north that was not present with the south. Bombs would explain it but of course you disinfo guys are here to come up with ridiculous excuses to cover up the obvious.
The seismic shaking associated with the impacts and the main collapses probably was small compared to those other energetic processes. The following order-of-magnitude estimates of energies involved corroborate this interpretation.
The gravitational potential energy associated with the collapse of each tower is at least 10^11 J. The energy propagated as seismic waves for ML 2.3 is about 10^6 to 10^7 J. Hence, only a very small portion of the potential energy was converted into seismic waves. Most of the energy went into deformation of buildings and the formation of rubble and dust.

To start with, the difference between log 2.1 and 2.3 is about 158% not double. A minor point, but let’s try to avoid hyperbole and exaggeration.
In other words the difference between the seismic energy of the collapse of the north tower compared to the collapse of the south towers is a very, very small fraction of the total potential energy of the tower.
To try to imply ant sort of meaningful significance to this difference is akin to counting the number of angels dancing on the head of a pin.
