Watching the video now.
A few problems.
Valhall already covered their ten second fall mistake.
Why do they attempt to make the fires so weak? They say that the buildings were smokeing for an hour without flaming up. This is patently false. There are numerous pictures showing clearly visible flames.
Ionization smoke alarms respond first to fast flaming fires. A flaming fire devours combustibles extremely fast, spreads rapidly and generates considerable heat with little smoke.
Ionization alarms are best suited for rooms, which contain highly combustible material. These types of material include:
1. Cooking fat/grease 2. Flammable liquids 3. Newspaper 4. Paint 5. Cleaning solutions
A smoldering fire generates large amounts of thick, black smoke with little heat and may smolder for hours before bursting into flames.
Photo-electronic models are best suited for living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens. This is because these rooms often contain large pieces of furniture, such as sofas, chairs, mattresses, counter tops, etc. which will burn slowly and create more smoldering smoke than flames.
Instead of showing these, they show us pictures from shortly after the collapse with lots of smoke and then insinuate that the fires never got worse.
They even later compare it to the madrid fire, calling the fires "90 minutes of smoke".
And the two lines to control the fire was obviously talking about the lower levels and cannot be seriously attributed to the multi story fire at the time.
This is disingenous, and decietful.
Why do they contradict their own evidence?
They show Robertson talking about how the impact of a slow moving 707 running out of fuel was taken into consideration.
Then they quote the guy, Demartini?, who exagerates and claims that it was expressly designed to withstand multiple impacts from a 707.
I think that Robertson, who actually helped build the towers should be taken more seriously than the other guy, who probably was exagerating, as there is no evidence that they were designed to take multiple hits from airplanes.
Despite this, the video runs with the second guy's ideas as if they never showed Robertson talking.
Frank De Martini was sharing a cup of coffee with his wife, Nicole, on the 88th floor of the north tower when the first plane hit.
A Port Authority architect and manager of construction projects within the towers, DeMartini urged his wife to leave. She refused. He insisted. His wife made it out of the building safely. DeMartini, who stayed behind to help evacuate his colleagues, died in the collapse.
"That would be just like him," said his older sister, Nina De Martini-Day.
DeMartini, 49, always threw himself into everything he did, his sister said. On Sept. 11, despite the damage and the smoke, reports show that he succeeded in getting almost everyone on his floor to the stairwell. Later, he freed people in an elevator by prying the door open with a coat rack. "It wasn't in his nature to not try to help," his sister said.
Why would they do this if they are supposed to be objective?

The reports of things that sound like explosives are not proof of explosives.
The CBS woman being interviewed is obviously talking about one of the plane impacts since she saw a fireball, she was not talking about bombs.
There explosion before the collapse is clearly the beginning of the collapse in other clearer shots.
Makes you wonder why they didn't use that footage.
Twenty minutes in and so far this is the same misinformation presented elsewhere.
About the only new thing I see is that they attempt to make us believe that the official story says that fire, not collapses, caused the ejection of debris, and that the fires were "90 minutes of smoke".

yes there were flames, but yes it was weak. The towers did have fire in them for sure. I would say every floor hit by the plane had some mean fire in it. That doesn't change the fact that the jet fuel was burned up within the first 5 minutes, and the temperature of the fire went down, not up from the initial collapse.
And they are right about the fire. The fire smokes a great deal when its having a hard time staying alive. Fires that are burning while wet also create alot of smoke because of steam.
The Madrid fire is what an office fire in full force looks like. It is the true maximum office fire. You see the huge flames, thats an office fire in full force. The WTC building didn't have that. It had thick black smoke, which a smoldering fire gives off.
it didn't get worse, it actually died down. The initial impact and immediately after was the worst of the fire. Once that jet fuel was gone, the fire was dying quickly.
"And the two lines to control the fire was obviously talking about the lower levels and cannot be seriously attributed to the multi story fire at the time."
and you know this how? Assuming? Well lets not assume ok? All he says is there are two small pockets of fire we can knock out with two lines. It doesn't say where, or what he meant. All we know is there were to pockets of fire, and he thought they could take em out.

It seems Palmer did only see “two isolated pockets of fire” at this point, although whether there may have been fire elsewhere on the floor isn’t clear. So does this prove the fires were much weaker than claimed? Well, no. Not even close.
NIST do not claim that the 78th floor was a “raging inferno”, for instance. In fact the NIST fire reconstruction report says “there was only light fire activity observed on the 78th floor”, page 109). No surprise: pictures in the same document clearly show this floor was at the base of the fire-affected area..
where does it say running out of fuel? Why would they assume it was running out of fuel, assuming your claim right here is true? How stupid would they have to be to do that?
You obviously didn't even bother to look this guy up, because he probably has more knowledge of the construction of the WTC then robertson. Robertson just helped build it, this guy managed it.

If you would please show us, mathmatically how the collapse shot the debre as far as it did?

Really?
Then why do have the fires clearly grown when you compare the towers after impact to right before the collapse?
Then later.
Regardless of the temperatures the fires were burning at, the fires are clearly stronger and burning more area later on. It is not "90 minutes of smoke" as they would have us believe.
There was a lot of smoke, but there was also a lot of clearly visible flames on multiple floors, meaning over acreage of office space. It is clearly misleading to characterize this as "90 minutes of smoke".

Sorry for the triple post, this movie is ridiculous.
They seem to basing their demolition proof on the ten second time, making it that much more important that they do some basic research.
They did so little fact checking that they couldn't even correct this small mistake, what makes you think they did any better research for the rest?
Using their logic, since it took longer than 10 seconds, it obviously was not a controlled demolition, but a progressive collapse.
What I'd really like to see is a movie that actually takes an objective view and shows these claims along with the counter claims.
Why do these conspiracy videos rely so much on ignoring some evidence and presenting their reasoning as the only possible explanation for what we see.
I grant you that none of the "official" documentaries cover the CT's, so why hasn't anyone made an attempt to present both in a video?
Is it that conspiracy vids sell better?
Then they bring up the 9-11 eyewitness video. Why is it that we can hear the loud bangs in that video, but the next video they show, with the camera shaking, we don't hear the bang, yet we can hear people screaming?
I think it's because the bang is from somewhere around Seigel, or the wind, which would explain why no other footage records those sounds.
The smoke at the base was shown in a thread a while back to be a burning car next to the building.
And what really do explosions in the basement have to do with anything? The collapse clearly starts at the point of impact.
Edit again, further along in the video:
If you watch just the part about pyroclastic flows you will see that they clearly prove a new theory.
It wasn't explosives. There were volcanoes beneath the towers and the plane impacts caused the volcanoes to erupt making the towers collapse.
Easy to prove if you ignore evidence to the contrary, much like most of the things presented in this video.

If it only required them every ten floors, doesn't that ruin the "evidence" that collapse wave travelled near free fall? I always thought that one of the biggest problems people had was the speed of the collapse?
How does explosives every ten floors speed up the collapse like it has been claimed?
Wouldnt that make the collapse stagger?

And perhaps you missed the part where this thread is about a video that is using the speed and look of the collapse to imply that every floor was blown out with bombs.
If we aren't discussing the video, perhaps we should take it to another thread.
Fiverz,
Agreed, but then if most of the collapse is accomplished with gravity, then whats the point of planting explosives at all?
[edit on 23-9-2006 by LeftBehind]
After that sure I'll do that, as soon as someone can show me how the towers were rigged with explosives on every floor of both buildings without anyone noticeing.
Finding problems with official story doesnt' mean you can ignore the gaping holes in your own theories.

The building in madrid was not hit by airplanes, and it's fires were not started on acreage of floor space all at once. And sorry, there was more to burn than paper.
See above, the fire was clearly much worse before collapse than it was after impact.
No this has been talked about before.

Did you watch the video? They play an interview with Robertson when he says this. Why don't you watch the video so we can discuss this without having to clear up what is shown in the viedo.
You are kidding right?
Right?

Grim,
post something of substance about the video as opposed to ranting and we can discuss.
