American Airlines Flight 11 “impact” time:
8:46:30 UTC, per LDEO seismic data (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2005)
8:46:40 UTC, per FAA last primary radar contact (9/11 Commission Final Report, 2004)
[SIZE=3]SO per this report, FAA lost radar contact 10 seconds AFTER the seismic data.... Let me say this again.... and AGAIN... My GUESS is that POSSIBLY it took the ten seconds for the transponder to get to the point that it was destroyed.[/SIZE]
I looked into seismic data for Flight 93 and there was a 5 second lapse from the time of seismic activity and the time the FAA reported. Why only 5 seconds? Heck i dont know...I can Guess that if the transponder is in the front of the plane, it was reported that the plane took a vertical dive, maybe, MAYBE it was destroyed faster?
EYEWITNESSES.... SAW an explosion??? NO! The janitor "heard an explosion" Show me please where an eyewitness SAW an explosion in the sub basement....
Love,
Mr. Shill

Maybe you can explain the people in the sub basement and first floor being burned and on fire as the firemen arrived when most of the jet fuel was burned up in the intial explosion and what was left would have burned off quickly.
Sure thing.
All of that happened in the initial explosion. Remember the huge fireballs outside the buildings?
Now imagine what happened when those same fireballs were forced down the many elevator shafts.
It was the initial explosion that did those things.

To be honest, I've sickened myself of it. Mainly because I can't really come down on one side or the other - looking at it scientifically that is. However, I choose to look at it from a distance, forgetting all the explanations involving physics, maths, engineering, etc. The fact is.....I think it stinks. For one of the towers to collapse like it did - sure. For both towers to collapse in pretty much the same way (let's not split hairs, they did...) is very suspicious. For WTC7 to then collapse as well....we're into realms where words like "unprecedented" and "ludicrous" spring to mind. The problem is that every piece of evidence can be debunked. So I'm left with my gut feeling. It stinks.
Does that mean I definitely think it was a controlled demolition? Nope. I just think that for those buildings to come down as they did is every bit as far-fetched as the controlled demolition theory. For me, both side of the argument cancel each other out and I'm left with just that gut feeling to go on...

This topic will never get settled.
As others have said, the odds of both towers falling in the exact same manner are damn near mathmatically impossible.
Both had different forms of damage. One tower hit basically in the center of the buildings wall of impact. The other on a outside corner.
One would have received a much larger amount of jet fuel into the building, the other much less, as it was witnessed with the large fireball that was seen outside the building..
Building 7 had no reason to collapse, unless there was some other plane that caused similar damage to the twin towers.(Which were not identical in their impact points), that no one knows about.
Over and Over the same argument arises from the Offical Story Believers, that the C.D. people and any that even have doubts to the Offical Story, are just ignorent or not capable of reading the Offical Story and understanding the science.
There are not coincidences, what happened with the towers and Building 7 had something other than planes to cause them. We can argue about what caused this and who did it, but the Offical Story is definately not the answer.

The first explosions happened before the plane hit.
I know you've seen my post with the paper because I've put it up on other threads in response to your errors regarding the facts.
YOU NEVER ANSWERED ME BACK THEN. DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO ANSWER NOW?
"There is no scientific basis for the conclusion that explosions brought down the towers," Lerner-Lam tells PM. "That representation of our work is categorically incorrect and not in context."

In fact, other than this single discrepency which you spam the board continually with, there is no evidence of explosions before the planes hit. There is no reason to respond to it, since your spam proves nothing.

Seriously Val, if there was anything to this it would be common knowledge.
How can something as obvious as explosives going off not be commented on by anyone but some guy in the basement?
Sir, in response to your request for my actions during the WTC terrorist attack on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, in which I was the Patrol Sergeant; the following is the most accurate account I can give from my memory and tapes of the radio transmissions. Please note that the given times on this chrono log, were not taken from a Dictaphone machine, but instead timed as the tapes ran simultaneously with a clock. Therefore, the times may vary slightly as compared to the Dictaphone machine.
0853 4-1 radios WTC Police Desk reporting an explosion on the lower level.
0853 WTC Police Desk replies there was an explosion on the upper floors.
0853 WTC Police Desk radios Sgt. DeVona and requests permission to release previous arrestee, permission granted by Sgt. DeVona.
0856 PO Davis reports that PATH trains are still coming into WTC.
0857 WTC Police Desk reports to PO Davis that PATH trains have been suspended into the WTC. PO Houston and PO Wholey start to evacuate PATH station.
0857 WTC requests an available unit to check Turner Construction, 1 WTC B-4 Level, report of broken water pipes.
0901 PO Houston, PO Davis and PO Wholey start to evacuate the B-4 Level, 1 WTC.
0904 PO Lim/K-9 radios to WTC Police Desk that he is en route to 1 WTC where there is a report of people trapped on the 13th floor.
0911 PO Houston, PO Davis and PO Wholey are clear of the B-4 level. PO Houston asks, "Where do you need us?" WTC Police Desk responds the 90th and the 22nd floors.
0912 PO Lim/K-9 reports jet fuel burning on the 51st floor, 1 WTC.
0912 WTC Police Desk radios PO Lim/K-9 asking if that is the smell of jet fuel. PO Lim/K-9 replies, "That's burning jet fuel." WTC Police Desk radios to Ladder 10, did you copy last. No response given.
0912 PO Houston, PO Davis and PO Wholey advise Police Desk of trapped ABM workers on the B-4 level, as per a report from an ABM worker. The desk acknowledges.
0919 PO Houston, PO Davis and PO Wholey report that all of PATH station is clear and (4) four PATH - ESU Officers remain there.
0933 PO Keane reporting from Stairway-C on the 66th floor, 1 WTC states that she heard another explosiion.

0943 PO Keane reports that the stage on the Plaza is on fire.

. This data still needs to be corroborated, and both authors and the Scholars for 9/11 Truth are involved in this; however, it is worth presenting at this time. This was found inside a movie compendium, "9/11 Controlled Demolitions of September 11, 2001". To repeat, this needs further corroboration.

In fact, for several moments of transmissions, the focus was on the basement level.

Now unless you have something that proves that the two reports were seperate incidents, maybe we can get back on topic.
There were no bombs going off before the impact.
Originally posted by Valhallthe basement explosion was indeed reported first, wasn't it?
I'm not sure it wasn't commented on by any one other than some guy in the basement. See, to me it's odd that the first call into the PAPD that morning was not of an explosion on the top floors, where the plane hit, but of an explosion on the bottom floors. In fact, for several moments of transmissions, the focus was on the basement level.

Does any of your numerous sources explain how WTC7 collapsed inside 7 seconds with it's penthouse sinking in first (just like a typical controlled demolition)?
Do any of your sources explain how WTC7 with only some damage to one side collapsed completely vertically without the help of any bombs into a neat little pile without eriously damaging any of the adjacent buildings?
It's not sufficient to provide a ton of links and claim that's the answer. You have to show me which one explains the collapse of WTC7, can you do that?
