No matter how many pics you post with circles drawn within circles to make it appear that there are more individual "similar" things going on, the only egg you have in your basket is a couple of pressure expulsions that appear AFTER the collapse is initiated.
But, you can clearly see it looks like the whole damn building is sucked underground.
The credibility of the members involved in the ImplosionWorld conversation have not been verified.
"Tell ya what. Keep the million. We at I-World promise to write a detailed rebuttal to this nonsense, and we'll post it prominently on this site. Furthermore, we promise that whatever we write won't appease most of the misguided chowderheads out there with too much free time. But even if our article only exists as a tiny bastion of reason in a sea of lunacy, we'll know we tried. We'll stick to the principles of building failures and explosives and demolition. We'll address the impossibilities and the contradictions. And most important, we'll stick with the facts."
Shortly following that statement, these questions were posed, and there has not been a response or never any answers, and no "detailed rebuttal to this nonsense"
* Can someone explain the rapid sequence of apparent shaped charges (noticeable squibs of smoke) going up the building of WTC 7? The answer they gave me was this was due to momentum from 'pancaking' but this wouldn't explain why they are going UP the building and not down in building 7. In the video, you can see this clearly in at least two different parts of the building.
* Trademark collapsing on its own footprint. Can anyone give a rational explanation as to why this happened in all three buildings? This has all the earmarks of a controlled demolition.
* Major ejection of shredded debris firing out of WTC 1 and 2 (not as noticeable in 7) several hundred feet. There are countless photos and video of this. Is the reason again that momentum is destroying the building into pieces of fine debris shooting them out like a catapult? Surely, some measley jet fuel fires couldn't have done this.
* Pulverized dust of the concrete. Isn't this a hallmark demolition characteristic? Only high-octane explosives could do such a thing.
* Scores of eyewitnesses, including firefighters, police, rescue workers, and other bystanders all report of several explosions, loud crackling noises, and fine dust. Why would the federal government place a gag order on the NYFD from giving their testimony? It wasn't until a court order under the Freedom of Information Act that these testimonies were released in August of 2005. I wonder why that would be.
* Public firefighter tapes, people standing in the wounds of the building, obvious weak fires, and a little common sense shows that these fires were feeble. Most of the jet fuel burned up on impact in a giant ball of flame. How is it that some piddly fires brought down these massive skyscrapers designed to withstand 10 x the amount of damage?
* Historical precedent. Not a single high-rise steel-framed building has collapsed due to fire in history. Buildings built much more inferior blazed for hours and hours with 3 x the intensity of heat and the buildings remained solidly intact.
* 47 massive, solid steel columns which constituted the core of the building should have been sticking up several hundred feet into the air. Why did they collapse with the rest of the building as opposed to just the floors?
* Incredible free-fall speed. How does "pancaking" cause a less than 10 second collapse in complete free-fall fashion?
* Evidence of molten steel found; debris shipped off expeditiously out of the country and sold for profit.
We would like a response from suppposed experts on this implosionworld website.
So the only difference you can pick out between them is that the WTC squibs emerged after the collapses initiated?
Well guess what? At least half of the squibs in the demolitions I showed you as an example also came out after the collapse had initiated.
And you know what else? The WTC Towers wouldn't have begun their demolitions with blatantly obvious demolition charges for reasons I shouldn't even have to go into. Thermite would allow initiation without visible charges.
What allows you to tell which of those are caused by supercompressed in a non-air tight building, and which are by controlled demolition charges?
The fact that the buildings are different? Is that the only real difference you can see? You don't want to believe the WTC Towers were demos, but you'll believe the Southwark Towers were? The only reason you've given so far for them being different was just as bogus, so why not.

No, I mean the frame and everything still attached to the building was going under ground level. Straight down, as if there was an empty space under the building of at least 40-50 foot. I'm telling ya, you could see an upright that was possible 30-40 foot tall go straight down without even leaning one way or the other.

No.
There was no evidence of thermite.
None resemble explosive charges to me.
What allows you to tell the difference? Just curious.
Let me use a CT tactic. Will you show me some examples of a non explosive induced collapse of a skyscraper or any tall building in which the pressure expulsions look DIFFERENT than explosive squibs?
What is the "bogus" reason I've given?

Haven't seen that.

You're joking.
Can their qualifications be verified?
Go ahead, question Prof Steven E. Jones's qualifications, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Brigham Young University. He's provided more than Brent or any others on that website. I really don't know if his paper has been debunked, but he claims there was evidence of thermite/thermate at the site. If its bunk, explain.
3. Feel threatened at such an idea, their beloved country doing such a thing! They didn't even approach the topic with an open mind, just immediately dismissed the idea. When presented more information than they liked, they promised us answers, and they LEFT! Months have gone by, if those questions were so easily answered by you (noooo expertise) certainly Brent (the unverified expert you're basing you're argument on) or some other presumeably qualified individual could easily enlighten us.

No.
Describe for me, then, how these things appear totally different from one another.
I'm not talking about the order in which they go off; that varies from demolition to demolition based on what needs to be done. Look through the web page I linked to for the real time vid and you'll see such differences.
There was no evidence of thermite.
There was molten metal glowing orange-yellow pouring out of the corner of WTC2 before it collapsed. There were thermal hot spots at Ground Zero for months after the collapses. There is another thread here that shows a big chunk of material glowing yellow. These things aren't achieved by the temperatures of hydrocarbon fires.
None resemble explosive charges to me.
What allows you to tell the difference? Just curious.
I don't think they are any different. That's the point. I'm asking what makes you think this puff of solid dust being ejected from a falling building is air, and what makes that puff of solid dust being ejected from a building an explosive. Because what I just showed you is a known demolition, posted on the website of a controlled demolition company.
Let me use a CT tactic. Will you show me some examples of a non explosive induced collapse of a skyscraper or any tall building in which the pressure expulsions look DIFFERENT than explosive squibs?
Impossible, because skyscrapers have never collapsed like that before 9/11. Or after.
But you're getting around at admitting they look the same, huh? Which would only be admitting the completely obvious, but you're getting there nonetheless.
What is the "bogus" reason I've given?
You suggested the WTC expulsions couldn't possibly have been explosives because they went off after the collapse started, while the building was still collapsing:
the only egg you have in your basket is a couple of pressure expulsions that appear AFTER the collapse is initiated.
And I responded that half of the explosives in the clips I provided went of after the collapse initiations as well. Doesn't mean they weren't explosives. It's an illogical line of reasoning.

You obviously haven't been to the Scholars for 9/11 Truth website. Aside from engineers and architects directly signed on with his group, he's also posted emails from a couple of structural engineers that not only agree with him but are amazed how little informed their colleagues are. And there's an MIT engineer who agrees, and reported testimony from a military demolition engineer friend of his that knew the collapses were demolitions from the insant he saw the squibs.
Browse the site. www.scholarsfor911truth.org...

"If they're working in the field their qualifcations are verified. Why do you doubt it?" The answer is still "No"
How do WE know we're communicating with Experts? I'm not doubting the information on ImplosionWorld, just the individuals on the forum that we are still presuming were Experts. What level of expert? What qualifications? How much experience do they have in the field?
And ATS's guest speaker this month Dr. James Fetzer and his peer panel believe Prof Steven Jones.
BYU could have disavowed his research because it goes against popular belief. Again, there's this reaction of distancing, cover-up, and scoffs at any hinkling of conspiracy. It's a knee-jerk reaction. It's alot easier to dismiss than explore with an open mind. Look at all the great Gov't cover-ups. Deny Deny Deny.
and the Scholars for 9/11 Truth are already being questioned for qualifications and such. Which they should.

The "ejected debris" one is laughable. It tries to impart the idea that all that was "ejected" prior to collapse by some mysterious force...Its a result of the collapse.
Got a link to the "gag orders"?
The example you give implies a individual department policy with "having to talk to "the chief" first. Got a link?
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y.—On the morning of Sept. 11, 2005, New York City auxiliary fire lieutenant Paul Isaac Jr. asserted, yet again, that 9-11 was an inside job. “I know 9-11 was an inside job. The police know it’s an inside job; and the firemen know it too,” said Isaac.
[...]
Also, Isaac directly addressed a gag order that has been placed on firemen and police officers in New York.
“It’s amazing how many people are afraid to talk for fear of retaliation or losing their jobs,” said Isaac, regarding the FBI gag order placed on law enforcement and fire department officials, preventing them from openly talking about any inside knowledge of 9-11. There is more information related to Isaac circulating in on-line and print reports, so here again we are hearing first-hand evidence from individuals who were on the scene, such as live witness William Rodriguez, saying that the World Trade Center towers were brought down not by the airliner’s impact or the resulting jet fuel fires, but instead by a deliberately executed controlled demolition.
Tragically, due to heavy-handed pressure from officials at the city, state and federal levels, we are still not hearing the entire story.
No one actually saw explosions or "bombs". Why might they jump to that conclusion?..oh, I don't know..maybe because the wtc WAS bombed before?
He must have been joking. The out of context, edited "quotes" of the firemen have been debunked so many times no one can possibly believe them anymore.

No thanks
They very name "Scholars" is an insult.
The label "scholars" implies a detached unbiased look at the infomation. That is the last thing those clowns are. The least evidence to this is the ejection of any voice they don't like.
How gullible are you.? unname "engineers" and "experts" who claim "as soon as I saw it I knew"?..the is not only laughable, its pitiful.
