Actually..Anok, I've noticed it's more of a common place thing now that you say is true with this board as an entirety now. I've been at several good messageboards that kept up good standing that "trolls" haven't found. But now this messageboard, with still good content is being infested with threads that seek to distort past truths, move out important topics out of the way, turn good threads into a completely different topic and other agendas.
I don't call myself paranoid either, it's more of an honest noticed thing that I've seen as I come to the board every few days.
But yeah.. it's especially with the 9/11 threads. I'm just fed up and don't even bother dealing with it anymore, or then again, I'm just too busy to post anymore.

Most of the trolls have never even read the NIST report from which they defend and furthermore with this statement, there are people who even try to defend the skeptical view just to skew it off subject, but this is like discussing the politics of Punk Rock. You're right though, just have to focus on what's there and what we can work with.

Im definately a beiliever in the notion of a staged disaster, but Im having a bit of difficulty wrapping my brain around this notion of a "self-distructable WTC". It just seems kind of out there to me. Could there be other ways the towers might have fallen like they did?
I am a New Yorker (and at that time I was a NYC resident) so Id been to the WTC many times and to Ground Zero many times as well. There was definately a lot of rebar everywhere and I can't see building a building that tall without a concrete core.
But if the WTC was a planned detonation, why wouldn't FEMA just have taken over right there? Wouldnt that be the purpose of such an action?
As I type out this post, I feel my head spinning...please help...explain this a little more for the layman please...

If coincidences were meaningful then numerology would be an actual science. Theres a reason it's called psuedoscience.

This is just me spit-balling, but is it possible that both sides of the WTC argument are inherently correct?
Could it be that the plane crashes did cause enough damage that there would be SOME kind of collapse and that collapse would not be a nice pristine pancake action, but a tree falling in the forest, taking out many other trees so to speak. And to avoid the WTC falling over sideways and wiping out entire blocks with fire and debris they had a "self destruct" built in that allowed the powers-that-be the option to take them down before they fell down. This would mean that a) there was no conspiracy for a staged attack on America, and b) there was indeed a cover up on the details of how the towers collapsed.
That seems to fit the evidence, but like I say, I'm just thinking out loud here.

Your definition of what a partial collapse would look like is correct, and of course a demoliton system could be used to prevent collateral damage as you describe. If we were to assume that tho, we'd have to show that the war games and air defense stand down were not a part, or that the missing video tapes from the pentagon were not to hide events there.

I agree. I guess what I'm getting at is that your arguments on this particular thread topic (re: concrete core) are relavent nomatter what one thinks of the "staged attack" conspiracy theory.

This is not some obscure structure we are talking about here, these were two very well known, studied and copied structural schemes.

Christopher, your entire argument is based around one, indeterminate picture and a “TV Show” you supposedly watched 15 years ago, which no one else but you has seen.
You have no concrete proof.
There is ample evidence available on the actual construction of the towers, and it simply does not agree with your claims.

There were no concrete walls in the core.
