No, that's not what I'm talking about. People claimed there was an explosion then the towers fell. There were no explosions. Any brief flare up of the flames they saw is basic science. Put you hands up to your face and clap. What do you feel? Wind. Why?
What's the difference between a plane crashing into a building then exploding and an explosive device?
Would you people make up your mind...
When did these explosive explode? When the plane hit or when the building collapsed?
No one has yet to answer my question. After the planes hit, what happened?
Also, 9/11 happened less than 5 years ago Not 20.
Technology to call from cell phones has been around.....I'VE USED IT! (pre 9/11)
(there were also calls made from the plane phones btw, like on flight 93 with Todd Beamer)
n the investigations into the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks, it was reported that 9 of the 19 implicated terrorists were flagged for additional scrutiny by the CAPPS I system, but none of them were intercepted. Sources have blamed this failure on the notion that CAPPS I was intended and designed to intercept bombs in checked luggage, and supposedly only 2 of the implicated terrorists had checked luggage.
I have yet to see a building where a plane crashed into it and exploded and that building not collapse.
This is what happens when explosions occur on the outside of buildings:
What do you think happens when explosions happen on the inside?

So, you think wind is what pulverized over 40,000 cubic yards of concrete? Or are you talking about the squibs? If it is the squibs, then does your hand model force the wind at an extremely high velocity into a syringe like stream of air that doesn't depressurize all the way to your face? Didn't think so.
Have you ever seen a demolition? Did the explosions look like the explosions from the plane crashes? That's a big difference right there. How about an explosion from a plane crash is going to explode in a chaotic manner and not be pin pointed like an explosion from a demolition explosive.
Have you made a cell phone call from a plane? Show me proof that that is possible pre 9-11.
Firstly cell phones were banned in 1991 on FCC initiative in USA. The reason was a probable interference of cell phone with the aircraft's communication and navigation systems. But at that time there were no facts that can prove or disprove that statement. The ban could be considered as a private initiative of airlines and telecommunications companies, which didn't want to lose a revenue from the air-phones installed onboard. Look, a one-minute call in the air was much more expensive than a usual cell phone call and, naturally, people used a cheaper service when they had a choice. The situation was regulated in 1991. Ground carriers had no objections. But we should understand that cellular technologies were not widely spread at that time and revenue of carriers was quite sufficient. It wasn't necessary for them to find other sources to get benefit.
I believe this whole heartedly. What does this have to do with how the buildings fell anyway?
So, these guys were marked as terrorists and nothing was done about it? I mean if 9 suspected terrorists book flights on the same day, doesn't that put up a red flag? How many suspected terrorists fly on a normal day? I bet it's less than 9. Another non-scientific smoking gun?
Can you give some examples of all these buildings that have collapsed from plane damage.....thanks.
Hmm....the plane's explosions were on the outside (at least tower 2). But you believe that was enough to bring the buildings down? Am I getting this straight or am I way off in your thinking here?

I'm talking about the so called explosions people saw when the towers started to fall. They weren't explosions that was the fires exanding as a result of the collapse not the cause of it.
I was talking about strength wise though. If you believe explosives could do the job, why is it so hard to believe that an explosive (in this case the airplane) could do the job?
Now why would they ban it all the way in 1991 if they didn't have the technology until now?
You got to understand the U.S. pre 9/11 was nothing like it is now.
The CAPPS system then was nothing like it is now. They weren't marked as terrorists and if they were I doubt the airline security would have found out. They were selected because they did raise a flag. But raising a flag then just meant you had to go through another search.
How do you know what a plane exploding into a building will or will not do?
I believe there were several factors in bringing down the building. All of the videos and anti government websites only show what was going on on the outside of the building but don't focus on what was going on inside. Esdad recommended a book earilier in this thread called '102 minutes' which is excellent.

I don't wanna hear anything else about the planes causing the collapse. Please. Your own story spinners say it was FIRE, not the planes.

Yes, in take off and landing. Show me proof that a cell phone can get reception at altitude. And what is the threshold altitude at which a cell phone can still recieve signal and operate.
Myth #2: Onboard wireless is new. Hardly. People have been communicating wirelessly from the main cabin since there have been wireless devices (never mind those overpriced satellite phones). A few years ago, I reported that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was looking the other way while air travelers were firing up their personal digital assistants (PDAs) in-flight and checking e-mail. I have personally used a cell phone on a plane, and I have flown next to people who have used their cell phones, particularly when they are over a populated area or flying at a lower altitude. What is new is that the FAA appears ready to sanction equipment designed to send and receive wireless signals onboard.
That book is on my list. How big is the book? Maybe I'll just go ahead and order it.

For the 2nd time today, someone whose posts support the official turn around and say they don't support it when they're pressed. OK...
TJW, don't turn around and pretend like you didn't say the explosions from the planes played a huge role in the collapse. I'd quote you, but I don't feel like it right now; you know what you posted anyway.
I may be reading it wrong, but didn't your quote say that they were red flagged as terrorists?
it was reported that 9 of the 19 implicated terrorists were flagged for additional scrutiny by the CAPPS I system

Hey, truthseeka, I am still waiting on that evidence that explosives were involved in the WTC. Since you are so adamant that your view is correct, and since you started the thread, it is time for you to PROVE it or move on.
Investigators will be doing ballistics tests to see if any of the recovered handguns match up to a bullet that may have been recovered from the body Zebuhr. The 25-year-old Clemson graduate student, his mother, sister and a friend were returning to their car parked south of Calhoun Square after dinner on Saturday night, when two men approached and demanded the mother's purse. She handed it over but one of the robbers pulled a gun, and without provocation, shot Zebuhr in the head. He died on Monday, March 20.

Nice try billybob.
You know that Charlie Sheen and the 82% that agree with him are tin hat wearing loonies. You know that poll means nothing. All it says is that more and more people are going crazy and believing wild conspiracy theories.

Wait a minute...TJW, you're just baiting me and trying to throw me off. Yeah, that's what you're doing. You saw where I quoted NIST TWICE, but you still keep talking about the explosions from the plane.
Ridiculous, because 1) the story you agree with says the planes were not a big factor 2) common sense would tell you that if the explosions from the planes did have a huge role, the towers would have collapsed MUCH sooner than they did, and 3) your plane explosion theory says NOTHING about bldg 7.
The reason we are tearing down the official story is much bigger than a we're right, they're wrong thing here. We're trying to expose the group that's flushing this country down the toilet with us going along for the ride. Maybe you can dig the elites, maybe you think you're one of them, but I don't.

And we weren't discussing building 7 that's why I didn't talk about it.
I have posted many times about building 7 so please feel free to search.
Well good luck.
But...so far....you haven't provided one shred of credible evidence that
1. These people exsists and that
2. They planned and carried out 9/11 or
3. Any of their intentions
Who are these elites? Where did they come from? How do you become an elite? What was the purpose of 9/11? Why has there only been one 9/11? Where do these elites come from? When is their next move?

The sad fact is that we have been lied too, there is no NWO and there is no elite ruling class. Realistically, Old money will last a few more generations, and it will be gone. People are rich with options and credit, not with currency. New money is the internet boom and the selfish baby boomers who buy 200,000 cars and million dollar homes.
9/11 was an attack that put into motion the decline of the United States as the only superpower, and the biggest monkey in the jungle. Do any of you remember the first WTC bombing? This was just the second try, thats all.
Also, The documents that are now being revealed show that Iraq is linked to Al-qeada, so we would have been there anyways. It was not needed to go to war.
It occured because we were not watching our own backdoor the way we should have, and allowed ourselves through non-departmental cooperation the abilty to be struck on 9/11.
The rich would still be rich without 9/11, and the poor would still be poor. The only difference is I could still go to NYC and see them jsut like when I was a kid.
