Dear Tom Bedlam:
Why would you expect the steel to melt? Come again. 2,800 deg Fahrenheit? Anywhere? Let alone across all 110 floors? How?

Tom Bedlam,
Why don't you show us these buildings that pan caked onto them selves from structural failure you speak of instead of just telling us it happened before?
I would really like to see them, I'm sure many of us would like to see the buildings you speak of.
Where are those so called buildings that rendered steel columns into dust? Can you please link us to these impossible anomalies you speak of.
Thanks.

I am tired of these flame wars i will not enter into one with you.
Please stop avoiding my request by flaming.

Oh, come now. In what way is it feeble? You had a 110 story building crunch down on a bunch of Ikea office furniture. Did you expect to see whole desks or something? Not only that, it was buried for weeks and BURNING.

Face it, the only way NOT to appear like a troll to you would be to agree with you, you've already said you won't discuss anything with "someone you don't know". Meaning, as is pretty obvious, anyone who doesn't agree with your furni-tron radiation theory.

Go look at other photos of the rubble from collapsed high-rises. The crap in front of Murrah is an example. Rebar, concrete, dusty crap. I don't see desks in the heap. I don't see computers. I don't see baskets of flowers. What I see is construction materials in a big pile. And that was only 7 or 8 stories.

Here's some photos of other building collapses, some with rubble piles. See all the furniture? No? Just piles of ground up junk? That's what I thought. And none of it 110 stories up.
Really, furniture comes to little pieces in the collapse of even a short building. 110 stories provides a lot of force to destroy contents, especially when it covers them and burns them for weeks.

Tom bedlam,
You have avoided the request for the second time now.
I will ask a third and final time and if you can't provide me with what i request then i will have to assume that you are not in possession of what i ask for.
A known case where a building fell onto it's footprint ''pancake'' and melted the steel columns and turned the whole building into dust particles.
All this caused from structural failure, i would really like to see that.
I am not trying to pick on you Tom, I am genuinely looking for what i requested and i have never been able to find it and i continue to look for it.
I thought maybe you were in possession of what i ask for since you are so sure that a building can collapse in that fashion from structural failure.
I on the other hand, have never seen that in my life and was not aware that it was physically possible with out explosions.
Now, i hope i was polite enough for you to link me with what i asked for or admit that you don't know where to find it or that it simply does not exist.
Thank you.

Its feeble because i know you don't honestly believe that, the fires should not even be in the equation anyway! Any fire from that "inferno" would have been put out by all the dust, and there should certainly have been no molten steel.
But you have discounted away so much evidence, what makes me want to believe you actually give a damn about the truth. You can't pick and mix. You must take all evidence in consideration at once, and a nuke device is the ONLY theory that fits it ALL.
Originally posted by Tom Bedlam
You pick an example for which evidence suggest the use of similar device to what im saying was used on 9/11... nice. The truck bomb could not have damaged the pillar, fact. I hope you agree on that, otherwise there is no hope for you really..
Yes i see junk in most of the photos.. i see everything i would expect to see. You are trying to prove a point out of nothing.

You are being very insulting and arrogant.
I won't hold it against you though, i admit that i read like 8 pages of this thread and then i stopped reading because of your arrogant and insulting posts, the thread seemed lost and i didn't see the point in reading anymore.
Since you don't think nuke is a possibility that's fine, i rather stay open minded to all possibilities.
Originally posted by Tom Bedlam
Again, for the purposes of argument, I'm not proposing structural failure. Really. So there's no point to keep asking for it, because I'm not saying that. It's like using the Chewbacca defense. Yes, I know wookies come from Kashyyk, not Endor.
I'm saying it's not a nuke, because there are way too many missing pieces. Especially if you try to bring in "dustification" as a side effect.

As ive already shown, and others, tell my WHY;
-There were pools of molten metal in the basements for MONTHS
-What could cause the pulverization of the entire buildings except for paper and some steel beams
-How the towers collapsed in FREEFALL speeds/no resistance
The towers literally disintegrated, which is NOT possible without something special. Normal explosives and thermite/ate are not capable of producing the observed effects.
Tell me why there are explosions at all, and how only 3/4 can result in the entire towers disappearing.
STOP DODGING THE QUESTIONS AND GIVE SOME PROPER ANSWERS.
If this were my board you would have been kicked from this thread, because you evidently have NO intention of debating, only trying to sabotage/derail this theory.
Normal people seeking the truth do NOT do this.

Drive by shooting by thread troll.
Wow, you've heard of Occam's razor. Well it doesn't cut it here. Facts are nasty things, and Occam's razor isn't used to cut them out of the question, my friend.
Bother to read anything here before posting?

Someone says that nukes are the only possible answer and doesn't want to address that simple forces like gravity and steel strength being reduced by exposure to fire are enough to explain the observed pancaking post-crash, I guess that's his privilege. But watching Simon in action, it's clear that he doesn't want a discussion as evidenced by his 'discussion' with Tom Bedlam.
