there is no way to make you see that it would not collapse from just one plane crash

IMHO - it is entirely possible that there was a safety net of sorts - possibly put in after the first world trade center bombing. A safety net that if the towers looked like they would topple over, that it would be brought down. Strategically stationed demolition explosives to bring it down on itself instead of allowing it to topple into the city.

"JUST" one plane crash? That was a pretty big plane crash .. with lots of damage and an out of control fire ...

The towers were structurally engineered in a manner that could allow 10 planes to crash into them and not fall...
1 - I don't believe that those structures could possibly stand 10 big planes full of fuel pounding into each of them at such an excessive rate of speed ... no freak'n way.
2 - What ever engineer(s) said that they could ... they are wrong. Plain and simple. Engineers are humans and they make mistakes and who ever said that, they made a whopper of a mistake. that's insane.
I agree on both accounts. One plane took out 15% of the outer columns. Just simple math tells us that 10 planes would do 150% damage. That's one and a half buildings.
Do you have a background in engineering that would make your claim credible?
Yes, BS civil engineering, 1996. P.E. pending. Not sure about credible. You yourself said that engineers are human and make mistakes.

Are you joking?
Did you see the female in the hole of the world trade center where there was the fire? She was not even burned.
Once again I will have to show what a real out of control fire looks like and ironically enough, this building did not even collapse. Funny huh?
And look here, no collapse...
Is it safe to say that this building was not as solid as the world trade center and yet it did not collapse from a far worst fire that lasted 24 hours.

It's also safe to say that these buildings you referenced had no structural damage caused by being impacted by large commercial aircraft.

If i had to put my life on the line and I had 2 choices that a building would stay up between the madrid fire and the world trade center plane crash.
I would choose the plane crash because i would feel safe that the WTC being hit by a plane would not collapse from structural failure.
The madrid fire was way more intense in a destruction stand point.
So this leaves me with the opinion that the world trade center was not brought down by simple plane crashes only.

There is no way that a bomb can be kept intact from a plane crash and then detonated 1 hour later....

The Madrid fire destroyed everything BUT the steel framing of the building. There doesn't seem to *be* any structural support damage.
Originally posted by nick7261
At the WTCs, there was both damage to the support beams and large fires. It was the combination of both the structural damage and the fires that most likely led to the collapse.

In any event, because there is a fundamental difference between the Madrid fire and the WTCs, it's really useless to trot out the Madrid fire as proof of CD at the WTCs. There may be other evidence of a CD at the WTCs, but the Madrid fire certainly isn't part of that evidence.

Yet pre-rigged explosives that were placed 1-2 weeks before hand remained intact?

Yeah, Nick the plane would explain why building 7 fell...
Oh, wait, it DIDN'T. Odd how 7 fell just like the twins when it wasn't hit by a plane, huh?

Yet pre-rigged explosives that were placed 1-2 weeks before hand remained intact? John Lear says he could not hit the buildings, I disagree. I think I could have and I admit that I do not have the fight time to give a proper preflight compaired to one done by Mr. Lear. Now flying into a specific area that would not set off bombs preset to do a clean CD that big? No way, no one is that good of a pilot.

The hindenburg wasn't hit by a plane either. Must be a conspiracy. London bridge wasn't hit by a plane when it came down either. That too must be a conspiracy.
So anything that collapses or is destroyed can only be accounted for by being hit by a plane right? Because surely hundreds of tons of falling debris crashing into the building and 7 hours of fires couldn't have had anything to do with it right?
remember, Challanger wasn't hit by a plane either.
