Tom, your on ignore after your last pathetic attempt to explain away the "collapses" due to structural failure. Its already been established that fire could NOT have caused the "collapses".

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.

Its already been established that fire alone could not have caused the collapses. You only need look to WTC 7 to realise the obviousness of the truth.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonI don't want a discussion with Tom, because he evidently has nothing to offer me.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonAll he has done is simply belitted everything i've said,
Originally posted by shrunkensimonwhilst giving such pathetic answers to my questions.. why should i waste my energy on him when there are others in this thread who are more willing to discuss the theory.

Also aren't these actually two different substances or versions of each other? Aren't there debates over whether it's thermite or thermate? I find either a better explanation than nukes.

Listen pal, you just jumped into this thread trying to claim that all that "dust" was merely drywall, so don't try and lecture me about not wanting a discussion when you came in here claiming such an absurd statement yourself!
You evidently have no intention either, just like Tom, of actually discussing this theory. Instead, you joined the thread in order to spout your own opinion when there are plenty of other threads for people with your level of intelligence, of lack of.
Go back to the front line moron.

FFS The evidence has shown that 99% of the concrete was pulverized to dust, and has been stated by numerous people who visited ground zero shortly after 9/11. Goto youtube and search around, there are numerous videos of these witnessess, firefighters, steelworkers etc.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonYOUR claim that it was drywall IS absurd, for reasons stated above.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonYou have done nothing but bitch your opinion onto everyone in this thread, like Tom has, ever since you joined the thread. You have done NOTHING constructive to help the thread, and you know it.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonI don't want to drag this out, but just leave already.
Originally posted by shrunkensimonI know you don't want to argue, and neither do i. I want to get back to actually discussing the nuke hypothesis in a sensible way, instead of trying to convince you and Tom that it is possible.
If you want to debate how the towers collapsed, goto the correct thread for #s sake.

What's at issue is the mode of pulverisation. This thread's hypothesis is ridiculous that way. You just don't happen to like any suggestions to the contrary.

So would you mind listing these irrefutable facts, which apparently 'prove' the case? A nice clean list of the different aspects which still support the nuke theory is what I'm looking for.
IIB Welcome to the thread.
Go back a page or two and you'll find exactly what you're asking for.

That's a lot of mass falling a long way - there's a lot of energy there ready for grinding stuff to giblets, which you've seen happens even on much shorter buildings. If you look at the rubble pile from any large building collapse, it all looks about the same.
And I'll spit your statement back at you - a nuke is not capable of producing the observed effects. If you think it is, name the top one or two effects you think it produced, and how, and we can discuss it logically. But you can't invoke mystery - no argument by hand-waving "it just did".
So list out your top one or two claims, every one of you is different. Just the first and mainmost one or two - if you think a nuke magically turned the entire contents of the building to dust, say it, and how you think that happens, otherwise I have no clue where you're coming from.

I said it (repeatedly, I might add) that claiming it's all concrete is ridiculous. When I came in, the claim was that the dust was sublimating steel. That claim was off the wall. Now it's all concrete and nothing but concrete. That too is off the wall.

TB,
Two important points here.
First, you say without any grounding in reality, that the collapse of the building itself is responsible--not for the pulverization but the micronization--of the concrete, a portion of the steel and most of the building's contents.
Essentially, the force of gravity crushed all that to itty-itty-bitty little particles. Sorry. Just. Not. Serious.
First, how did it already happen on the way down? It wasn't when all that stuff hit the ground that it became micronized, but in the air. Amazing physics there.
So then, by your reasoning, why didn't the jumpers also micronize when they hit the ground? They fell as far and as fast as the buildings, but they didn't turn to dust, did they?
Secondly, you can't pick and chose which one or two observed effects fit your
agenda, or only deal with them. This is not a box of chocolates; the whole list must be accounted for. And it is a very weird and disturbing one.
I made such a list a few pages ago, and SS signed on to it, adding only localized emp effects.
Let's work from that, shall we?

Look, it’s impossible for us to prove a negative. Sort of like Saddam Hussein couldn’t prove he didn’t have any WMD -- because he had none. We cannot definitively show that there weren’t any chunky monkey pieces of concrete from the 220 floor slabs at the twin tower sites — because there were none. However it is possible to show physical object — provided that they exist. So, please, why don’t YOU produce the pictures of concrete rubble piles at the WTC’s.

That is very unusual stuff by anyone's standards.
Please explain it rationally, without flames. --Or jet fuel, for that matter.

The reason why it makes no sense, and why Tom and Fitz are obviously trolling is because they overlook one simple observational fact;
At 1-2 seconds after the start of the collapse, using the laws of physics/laws of motion, only 2-3 floors MAXIMUM (really only 1) would have smashed together, yet we see HUGE volumes of pulverized dust exiting all 4 sides of the building..
That is simply NOT possible without the use of some kind of explosive force. Even a 12yr old could make the point i've just made, it is simple physics and a matter of the TIME.
So again, Tom and Fitz, if your going to claim a gravity collapse, GOTO THE RIGHT THREAD! This thread is not for either of you, as you evidently don't have the mental capacity to understand the SIMPLE observational facts i've just pointed out..either that or you both wilfully ignorant, in which case ATS is not for you either.
I have contacted a moderator who will hopefully ask you both to leave. We have wasted several pages debating with you two idiots, and i did not join this thread to waste my energy arguing with two morons. I joined this thread to discuss the details of this hypothesis.
More over, i have been contacted by someone who is making a proper documentary on the nuke hypothesis, and you are both wasting my time when i could be gathering information/discussing with the members here, which i could then pass on to the guy making the film.

What exactly is ridiculous here? That neutrons superheated the water in the concrete, turning it into high-pressure steam causing it to explode into anhydrate Portland cement whilst vaporizing the silica content?
Some patents, now owned by Raytheon, describe how to make "nuclear sized explosions without radiation" and describe power beam systems, electromagnetic pulses and over-the-horizon detection systems.

I came across this while reading another thread on ATS. I dont know if its true or not but Im sure a patent check could be done on it. If these are real could they have been around prior to 9-11?
