So, you're ACTUALLY going to try and float the argument that the photographer was standing right there from the time the WTC came down until he took that picture DAYS LATER?

I never said anything about thermite on this beam.. drop it.. stop using your fog tactics.
All the way across?? Are you sure about that?
No.. they were not at the Verizon building.
Our first assignment for the morning was to begin to cut some of the steel beams that fell on Vesey Street, between Building 6 and the Verizon building.
The fact that you are debating with nothing more than opinion, doesn't prove JACK SHIAT.

The person that took the pictures worked for Verizon. They were in the frikken building during the frikken collapse.. These are Verizon's photos.

Got it?

So, wait, wait. Your argument is now that a LSC would produce a nice square cut-off beam like that in the picture.

Baloney. You've supported the thermite theory in numerous threads. Are you now switching theories to explosives?

Yes. I can't see the back side, but the front sides of both columns are cut all the way across with a cutting torch.

They would NOT have cut them all the way across like that if they were just going to plant explosives on them. It wouldn't have been safe.

They were cutting steel beams on one side of the Verizon building.

But apparently, to you, it's incredulous that they might have to cut beams on the other side of that building for some reason. Yup, makes perfect sense.

Nope, sorry. They might do some ornamental work with 1" thick bricks, but they would never build an entire building with one.
Not only would the bricks not have the same compression strength as a normal brick, but it would take FOREVER to mortar in 1" bricks.
Those bricks are not 1". I don't even know where you got that.

Oh please, there's no way that photographer was able to watch that building from the time the WTC came down until he took that picture. .

How many frikken times do I have to repeat myself??? They used both a cutting torch AND lsc's to prep the building.. If i have to say it again, I'm going to put you on ignore.
THERMITE WAS USED ON WTC 1 AND 2 NOT WTC 7. Jesus......
You answered YES when your answer should be know. I asked if you can see all the way around and you say "i cant see the back side", but you also answer "yes".
Do you understand how stupid you sound?
You are basing this statement above and your OPINION, since you can not see the back side of the beam. All your arguemnts are opinion, and it makes me sick. No wonder you believe in the most idiotic theory called the official report.
No they were cutting steel beams that fell from WTC 1 and 2 that landed on Vesey Street. The only cross referances on Vesey street to their location was WTC 6 and Verizon. They were NOT at or in the Verizon building.
DUDE I AGREE THAT IT IS PARTIALY CUT BY A TORCH, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TOO. THESE WERE CUT BEFORE THE COLLAPSE.
Does that mean that every steel beam that I give you evidence of being cut, you will automaticaly dismiss it because firefighters were cutting in some other location at the time??
Give me a break, you are pathetic.

The point of that link was to prove to you these pictures are FROM VERIZON AND THE SAME PEOPLE THAT TOOK THE PICTURES WERE IN THE BUILDING DURING 911 WHICH YOU SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE.

1. See the front of the beam how it's cut from one end to the other? They wouldn't have done that if that was prep work for an LSC. That would've made them unstable.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
2. An LSC wouldn't make a nice squared-off beam like that. It would be mangled.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
3. Ignore me. It just shows you can't defend your argument.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
Yeah... How could I confuse something so obvious. *eye-roll*
Originally posted by whiterabbit
You didn't ask if I could see if they were cut all the way around. You asked if I could see if they were cut all the way across.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
They ARE cut all the way across.
You're the only person who would assume they're not cut on the back side as well, but whatever.

Here come the personal attacks again.

Why in the WORLD would you think the other side of the beam is any different?

ALL these pictures were taken at the same time:

Still going to tell me they weren't doing any debris removal?
Originally posted by whiterabbit
Really? I'm looking at the official site these pictures came from, and it says nothing about that.
So where did you get this information from?
Originally posted by whiterabbit
If they are OBVIOUSLY TORCH-CUT like this one, then yes.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
Then you just shot yourself in the foot again, because NONE of those pictures were taken on 9/11. It even says that on their site.
Again, did you even read it?

And here's a press release Verizon put out on September 12, 2001, where they talk about being allowed to re-enter the building to start working on getting phone service restored:
newscenter.verizon.com...
But I suppose it's completely impossible that they cut those beams because they wanted to keep that debris from crushing in that side of the building, which from the pictures appears to be full of telecommunications equipment.
Yup, that doesn't make any sense at all. It must've been thermite bombs!
Originally posted by whiterabbit
Dude... You have no argument here. You're just arguing because you can't stand to be wrong about ANYTHING.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
Those beams were cut with a cutting torch. No, I can't see all of the way around them, but I can see the front and the entire front is done with a cutting torch--which would not have been done if they were planting explosives.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
However, we know for a fact that people were cutting beams around the Verizon building as early as September 12th.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
But no, it must be thermite bombs! Somehow you just KNOW there's evidence of those magical thermite bombs on the other side of those columns!
Originally posted by whiterabbit
There is no logic in your argument at all. None.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
Someone cut the columns AFTER the collapse. Accept it. Let it go.
Originally posted by Connected
Prove to me that it was cut all the way around with a torch. There is only evidence of torch on one side, that evidence is discoloration of the rusty metal. Please, show me evidence of your OPINION.
No there were NOT "around the Verizon building", you are lying. They were on "Vesey Street, in front of the Verizon building and the WTC 6 building". You do not have proof they were on West Street between WTC 7 and the Verizon building.. you only have OPINION.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
They were cutting beams next to the Verizon building on September 12, 2001 on Vesey Street. That's an undisputable fact.
Originally posted by whiterabbit
Only someone who wants to believe in a crazy conspiracy theory would conclude that the other side MUST show evidence of magical explosives that don't mangle steel columns.
commercially available conical shape charge on a steel plate
a shape charge made from a wine bottle (the concave bottom works nicely to focus the blast) on another steel plate
..and now.. the damage that was done.
