What about the experts that say it was a CD I mentioned earlier?
This is one of the major problems with 9/11-for every theory or hypothesis, there is an equal and opposite theory or hypothesis
I think(as do many, many others) the only way around those problems are to have a new(and independent from Federal Government) investigation conducted into all of the events of 9/11.

On second thought, I won't read them because I don't need to.
I'd like to draw your attention back to the NBC footage of the South Tower collapse. As I've pointed out many times already, there are hundreds of flashes from the explosives.
This one video is all the proof needed to prove CD in these towers as there are way too many of them to be something other than explosives.

No that is not true. The official story has not changed.
I doubt you are going to see that as it takes alot of taxpayers money and time.
Also I would like to add that the investigation into WTC7 will be published soon.
So expert opinion on the matter is meaningless? If you wanted to know if it was a CD or not, would you listen to the people who do it for a living?
Why do they all happen after the collapse?
In that video I see no flashes no explosions to initiate the collapse. The only thing I see is the floors that were damaged by the planes failing and the top of the bulding act as piledriver.
One thing I would love for you to do is watch this movie from beginning to end and then come back to me and tell me what you think has been presented falsely.

Maybe you can find an excerpt of that part of the video...?
I'd still like to hear your explanation of why any flashes occur during the collapses, not to mention hundreds.

Here it is. It's pretty disturbing.
After a three-year legal battle with the city's fire department, snippets of about 130 taped conversations between emergency operators and those inside the Twin Towers were released by the city's Law Department Friday. In CDs made available to the public, the voices of the callers have been edited out. But the families of those identified have been allowed to hear both sides.
Think of how many fires were in that building. When you have something that compresses the space that fire is going to blown outwards. Even if large debris fell or a floor partial gives way, the air pressure will blow them outwards.
And please post the video that has the best evidence and I can give you a further opinion.

If you notice, near the end, there is extra disturbance on the line, and the operator says, "hello?" as if she cannot hear Mr. Cosgrove. There's even more disturbance before the tower starts collapsing.

Emphasis added.

In late March, the city released 130 phone calls to 911 from people inside the towers. The New York Times and families of Sept. 11 victims had sued the city for those and other records under the Freedom of Information Act, and the New York State Court of Appeals ordered their release with some portions removed
[snip]
The recordings released today were edited to remove the voices of civilians calling the 911 system, as the court ordered on privacy grounds. As a result, those calls contain only the operators’ responses. Calls made by government employees — including firefighters — contain both sides of the conversation.
There is one exception: a call made by Melissa Doi, who was trapped in the south tower. It includes four minutes of her voice because it was introduced as evidence during the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui. In the call, Ms. Doi tells the operator she believes she is dying, and asks the operator to call her mother. Although the call lasted some 24 minutes, only 4 minutes were put into evidence; the remaining 20 released today contain the 911 operator’s voice as she tries to console Ms. Doi, who apparently died while on the phone.
By your explanation, that could account(although unlikely) for the floors above the initial impact, but NOT for the lower floors. Find me some reports of fires in the 50-80th floors and I'll believe those flashes are simply fires being forced out by pressure.
Like the Concourse Level, elevator lobbies throughout the building were particularly affected,38 likely by excess jet fuel ignited by the crash pouring down the elevator shafts.39 While only 3 percent (n=11) of the survivors reported seeing fireballs in their immediate area at the time of the airplane impact, the observations from the face-to-face interviews show the extreme nature of these events:
A survivor from a floor in the 80s: “The entire corridor became an inferno outside our front door. Smoke began to enter our office. There was also debris falling. ... The fire on the corridor was at least 10 ft high, and it ran the … good length of the corridor. Then I saw a fireball come down the elevator shaft and blew the elevator doors. The fireball came right at me; it was a really bright color.”
Interview 1000055 (NIST 2004)
A survivor from a floor in the 40s: “I saw the elevator in front me had flames coming out from it. The elevator was closed but the flames came from the front where the doors meet and on the sides. They reached about a foot and a half, with the flames standing from the floor to the ceiling. I saw a chandelier shaking; it was really moving. The corridor was dim. I also heard people screaming from the [nearby] floor. I felt the
heat on my face and I thought that my eyebrows were going to get burned. Black smoke starting filling the corridor, it got really dense really fast.”
Interview 1000109 (NIST 2004)
A survivor in the basement: “I saw a big bright orange color coming through the basement with the smoke ... A fire ball came shooting out of the basement door

And yes it is speculation that they would edit out explosions.
I already showed you many quotes of people in the buildings seeing and smelling jet fuel in the many of the lower floors.
Lets not also forget the transformers in the building and the stress of having millions of pounds forcing their way down buckling the metal in the further down floors and the debris that follows.
Again why do these flashes happen after the building starts collapsing? In a controlled demolition, the charges are set off before the building starts falling.
But we should still be able to hear them, which we do not.
Originally posted by Niobis
Yes, it does.
It's also speculation they didn't edit the tapes. Like I said, either way they are not conclusive evidence that explosives were or were not used.
There is no definite proof that a plane impacted the buildings, so any account of odor of jet fuel is not technically valid and could be falsified accounts.
I have yet to see any conclusive evidence that Flight 11 or 175 impacted either building, and until I do, I personally cannot believe those reports.
Government reports say that the planes were only carrying about 10,000 of their 24,000-gallon capacity. FEMA even admits most of the fuel burned off after a few minutes.
Here's one of many:

White smoke can be seen coming from where those 3 flashes occurred. There was no smoke coming from locations before the flashes.
Again why do these flashes happen after the building starts collapsing? In a controlled demolition, the charges are set off before the building starts falling.
Aside from the above mentioned puffs of smoke and flashes, what about the "rooftop explosions" on the North Tower right before it starts to collapse? I posted the video earlier, but you never commented. They obviously had something to do with the collapse.
Hundreds and hundreds of witnesses heard explosions from the time the buildings were attacked until they collapsed. Secondary explosions can be heard in many videos.
I have shown you so much evidence of explosives in the Twin Towers, from flashes to expert corroboration to molten steel over the past 4-5 days and you just seem to be ignoring the obviousness of CD.
We are no further from where we started.
We was not lucky enough for someone to take a camera inside one of the buildings and take a picture or video of one of the explosives close up.

So I guess thousands of eyewitnesses, hundreds of videos, the shape of the damage done to the building, phone calls from the planes are not evidence of planes hitting the buildings???
What evidence exactly would you be satisfied with?
Originally posted by Cool Hand Luke
I guess you wouldn't call people calling from the plane identifying it as evidence because those phone calls are fabricated.
The video evidence that matches the planes before they hit the towers I guess is fabricated too.
And the engine that was found that matched the plane I guess was just dropped off right?
And the radar data and the fact that the planes never landed at another airport again isn't good enough to deduce which planes hit the towers that day.
You are not looking for evidence, you are looking for an excuse to live in fantasy land where the gov is omnipresent and all powerful and everyone but you and a handful of others is in on the conspiracy.
Come back to reality please

Falsified accounts? So now these people are liars?

Are you claiming that this is an insignificant amount?
A plane coming in at 500+ mph crashing into a building is not going to leave the surrounding it undisturbed. Why does the smoke out right where the fires are?
Why would they set off an explosive right at that moment and not bring the first tower down?
Again why do you keep showing videos with planes in them? I thought they didn't exist
What it looks like to me is electrical in nature. Remember the building did have electricity.
why would they set off such small explosives and why then? Why there?
The reason I didn't comment on them was because it was a non issue. Lets say they were explosives in that rooftop, did they do anything to dissociate the top 30 stories of the building? No it stayed together as one piece for a good portion of the collapse.

What does molten metal have anything to do with a CD? Find me one other CD where there has been molten metal found 6 weeks later.
Even if somehow they did manage to plant tens of thousands of pounds of thermite into the building...
how would tens of thousands of pounds of thermite result in molten metal 6 weeks later?
why didn't the bomb sniffing dogs ever pick up on any of the explosives in the building? And I know what your answer will be, they were pulled out.
Yep you guys are sure doing a great job helping out the survivors of 9/11.
And you are right this is going nowhere so I'm done with this thread. Good luck, I hope you come back to reality someday.

Cool Hand Luke, none of that alleged wreckage you showed me has been confirmed as belonging to the alleged flights AA11 or UA175.
Again, you fail to show me hard evidence. Unidentifiable scrap metal does not positively identify those planes.
I guess you can continue missing the point, you've been ignoring it so far.
