They also had documented evidence from the people who designed the towers and quote "the towers were designed to take (2) plane impacts"

how do you explain the 8.4 second collapse time? basically freefall colapse? asif the rest of the building wasnt even in the path of the upper debris collapse.
how do you explain the dubious jets of smoke coming from the sides of the building moments before the building started to collapse etc. etc.
Why did building 7 collapse aswell, with the twin towers.
Why did the owner of those towers take out platinum insurance days before the impact?
Again, why did building 7 collapse? it wasnt damaged.
Why is it so curious that the owner only owned building 7 and the twins.. weird
On April 26 of 2001 the Board of Commissioners for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey awarded Silverstein Properties and mall-owner Westfield America a 99-year-lease on the following assets: The Twin Towers, World Trade Center Buildings 4 and 5, two 9-story office buildings, and 400,000 square feet of retail space.

Engineers from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation investigated oil contamination in the debris of WTC 7. Their principal interest was directed to the various oils involved in the Con Ed equipment. However, they reported the following findings on fuel oil: "In addition to Con Ed's oil, there was a maximum loss of 12,000 gallons of diesel from two underground storage tanks registered as 7WTC." To date, the NY State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and DEC have recovered approximately 20,000 gallons from the other two intact 11,600-gallon underground fuel oil storage tanks at WTC 7.
5.3.3 Compartmentalization
Concrete floor slabs provided vertical compartmentalization to limit fire and smoke spread between floors (see Figure 5-11). Architectural drawings indicate that the space between the edge of the concrete floor slab and curtain wall, which ranged from 2 to 10 inches, was to be filled with fire-stopping material.

That video is soo bull# and misleading...
For example, they compare Madrid fires with WTC fires, although WTC towers were hit by enormous airplane, and had completely different structure.
I suppose, that at Cardington fire test they didn't have an airplane to crash in to those floors...
Evidence about explosives is very questionable.
They wonder why that tower didn't topple over, though it wasn't even possible, due to tower's construction. Other tower tried to topple, but when structures bent enough, they collapsed.
About that pentagon video... they make the plane to be too long, and don't notice video's crappy quality.
They wonder, why there isn't much parts of airplane visible. They wonder, why airplane's wings didn't go trough the wall.
Argh..

Does this look like a freefall?

The WTC buildings, all 3, fell at NEAR free fall, in the real world that would be impossible without the lower undamaged floors being compromised in some way.
There's a thing called resistance, the buildings had none from undamaged lower floors.
Most of the jet fuel, as you can see in the vids, was burned up in the initial impact, that's what created the big fireballs you see.
Fuel also burns and evaporates very quickly, if this had been the cause of the collapse it would not have taken an hour.
You can see from the black smoke the fires were cooling down, how does that initiate global collapse?
Show me a pic that shows enough fire to equaly compromise all the collumns and trusses to initiate a global collapse.
Not enough of the fire proofing would have been 'knocked off' to cause failure of a 110 story building.
What about the plane that hit the pentagon and the path it took?
And the fact that it even reached the pentagon?
And the fact that our defense failed 4 times on 9/11?
What about wtc 7? (no way in hell it was "heavely" damaged" and if it was it wouldnt have fallen like that)
From there, we looked out at 7 World Trade Center again. You could see smoke, but no visible fire, and some damage to the south face. You couldn’t really see from where we were on the west face of the building, but at the edge of the south face you could see that it was very heavily damaged.
WHY THE HELL WOULD THE FBI TAKE AWAY TAPES THAT SHOWED A PLANE HITTING THE PENTAGON?
Why did people remove evidence from a crime secene?
Why was so little money spent on the investagation?
Why dont they have a offical reason for wtc 7 falling?
That isn't freefall no. However you have circled the part of the building which was sent flying upwards by explosives.
The core of the building itself feel within a couple seconds off freefall.

No it isn't... the falling tower had such a huge mass, that it was able to crunch lower structures easily.
If there wasn't resistance, how come it took for towers so long to collapse? As you see, objects at freefall fall faster than that tower collapsed..
An(d) how you know how much fuel was left inside the towers?
Fuel just made fires to spread fast over the floors.
How does black smoke mean that fires are cooling down? Does this look like it's cooling down?
Airplane itself caused massive damage to some floors, and fires finished it. All it's needed, is that one floor falls to other. Foors weren't strong enough to stop that.
You mean, that why it made those turns? Well, maybe that's the easiest way to find pentagon from airplane.
What huge mass? The mass under the upper damaged floors was much more massive. Also the structures were turning to concrete dust as they collapsed, there was no mass to impact lower floors.
The resistance from lower floors should have slowed the collapse down as more resistance was created by lower floors stacking up on top of each other.
Also no other steel building in history has fallen from fire.
Yes to some floors. Do you realize how big the WTC towers were? About 6 floors were damaged out of 110. Think about that...
