If this were the case then the govenment is waisting money building bunker buster missles when they can just use old air linners.
Airliners aren't exactly built to hit a solid wall of steel, and the Twin Towers weren't exactly a solid block of steel (not to mention that there is hard proof both pics and videos that the plane didn't exactly bounced off). If you seen what the building looks like, its hollow as well.
As mentioned before that if you can make water cut through steel, why doubt aluminum cutting through steel?

its long but read this

p.s i wouldnt have wanted to be the poor soul taking this photo... lol

and yet, as per the official line, with no explosives, only the mass of ten floors was capable of crushing the whole building.
if it can fall with no explosives, then it wouldn't take many to get it started.
this is the strangest argument coming from the official theory supporters. (not singling you out, damocles, you're a neutral in my book).
the towers fell under gravity alone, because you would need THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF EXPLOSIVES to demo the towers, and it would be impossible to rig them.

my offer to those of you working on a CD theory still stands, if you have questions about explosives ask, if i can answer you i will and ill do it honestly and in such a way you can verify it for yourself (i wouldnt trust me outright either hehe (no i wont tell you how to make bombs, dont ask)) maybe someone can come up with something ive missed.

also what makes me think it may have been a cd, iis that there were a few employees working at the towers, that claim several weeks before the incedent happened that they had gotten off at the wrong floors and that the floors was under some construction type thing, and they said the odd thing was that there was nothing... i mean nothing, no walls, carpets, drop ceilings, no wireing. they say they could only see big power tools and some suport beams, untill someone kicked them out. there wasnt any report of contruction bieng done at the towers at that time.
theres some video interviews on youtube. if they havnt been deleted yet.
I'll see if i can find them.

First of all.... SEVERAL people got off on the wrong floors? ok...I'll give you that...we can pretend that yeah they forgot what floor they worked on.
Now...fact.. When a floor is getting completly renovated for a new tennant, the tennant may in fact ask the floor to be gutted. That would explain no wall and wiring... etc.. Often you start from scratch.
A couple things I see wrong with this.
Why wasnt the elevators to that floor locked off so that people can't just wander onto that floor? ( this is typically what is done)
The most important... IF and a HUGE IF.... if someone is planting explosives in a building... WHY WHY WHY would they make it so obvious as to do it in a WIDE OPEN area??!!!!
Come on now!!

Also remember there was no construction schedualed for that time, just some security upgrading and suposedly new iternet cables bieng installed.... but thats all the work that was reporeted to have been going on.(no need to rip out the walls for that)
Another employee said that the weekend of 911 the power was out of both towers for the entire weekend, this has never happened in the history of the towers.(maibe they were worried somone might acsidently set the explosive of with a cell phone or something)
Bomb sniffing dogs were removed from the toweres security 3 weeks before 911.
Oh... and guess who was in charge of securit of the towers? the prez's little brother, and the renter of the towere invested $15,000,000 and got $17,000,000,000 not bad huh? wth did he possible get so much from the insurance company? maibe cause he was bought and told to shut up!
I'm still trying to find the witness video's.

There was always construction going on at the WTC. People are constantly doing upgrades, moving offices etc.
There is not ONE shred of evidence that there was a powere down at BOTH towers. NONE! There was a report from ONE person (Scott Forbes) who has made this claim. It has yet to be confirmed by anyother tennant.
For the towers to close down on a weekend would cost MILLIONS of dollars of lost productivity.
Bomb sniffing dogs? Yes the EXTRA ones were removed. EXTRA ONES...becasue of some calls of a bomb scare.
All the other FULL TIME bomb sniffing dogs were there. (one died during the collapse)
And no .. Marvin Bush was not in charge of security at the WTC at the time of the attacks. Do a Search on Wikipedia to get a better time line and what his function at his company was.

only extream power(explosions) can eject these iron beams like there were wood. an entire steel stuckture doesnt just fall apart to the ground due to fire, and i dont care even if 3 planes hit the same building them toweres would "never come down like the way they did" ask anyone who knows even just a litte about metal, and they will tell you that an uncontroled fire can not harm metal, and it definetly doesnt through iron beams arround like they were toothpic.

as for other witness's to the black out... well i'm sure many ppl are scared to come forword.
I mean if i witnessed all these strange or even just some and got my suspision up, and though maibe it's an inside job... where the hell do you expect me to go to file a complaint? who do you trust? most will just stay quite, mostly because they like there life style and everything is good for them, and they might feel intemedated if they were to report what they saw. (by intemedated, i mean worried for there life)
As you said it was only the one withness that said anything bout the black out, and yet none of his letters were replied when he claims he sent the authorities letteres explaining the wierd black out.
The World Trade Center was destroyed just days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the landmark 110-story towers, security personnel said yesterday.
Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday, bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed.
"Today was the first day there was not the extra security," Coard said. "We were protecting below. We had the ground covered. We didn't figure they would do it with planes. There is no way anyone could have stopped that."
SF: All systems were shutdown on Saturday morning and the power down condition was in effect from approximately 12 noon on Saturday September 8, 2001.
GW: When did it end?
SF: Approximately 2PM on Sunday 9/9.
GW: How do you know that there was no electricity from floor 50 up, if Fiduciary Trust was on much higher floors -- starting at the 90th floor?
SF: I can't absolutely verify that there was no power on lower floors ... all I can validate is that we were informed of the power down condition, that we had to take down all systems and then the following day had to bring back up all systems ...

Your last part of your paragraph is pathetic at best. To claim that fire can not melt metal.... um..well... what can? Nothing?
No one claimed fires caused beams to be ejected out of a building!
Where do you get this stuff?? Please back up your claims with some links and or sources to your jibber jabber.

William Rodrigues also said the power was out for that weekend too.
A controlled fire can melt metal not an uncontroled fire
then how did the iron beams that may be 1000's of pounds stick into buildings accross the street?
I have 25 years in welding, metal shaping, and metal cuting, i guess you could say i'm a bit of an expert on metal, and since i worked in body shops for the past 25 years i also witness tones of accsidents.
like 2 cars heading head to head, both travel at about 100mph each when they hit each other. metal does not go flying everywhere it compacts then stops. the same thing whould have happend to the towers. Instead the tower fall at a free fall speed and they fall taking the path with the most resistance. had these towers toppled over as they should have, then i would have nothing to argue, because that its how a steal struckture should fall, it takes the path of leat resistance then topples over. steel doenst implode on itself. nor will it creat enough energy to eject heavy beams into buildings accross the street.
if you really belive the towers fell the way they did just by an alluminum plane then i think you need to see a doctor!
If you belive an uncotrolled fire can melt or even bring down a steel building then i... well.. i dono what to say m8, it goes againt the laws of phisics and i think that mabe you should go back to grade 9 school and retake science, because even i remember learning about how metals react to heat in a grade 9 science class. it's basic science ppl.

I have not heard he said this. If so, it is because of the information that is being fed to him. (please offer a link to this)
If you are such an expert, please provide NIST with a detailed explanation as to why you think the towers fell. You say your an EXPERT with metal because you fix cars and claim cars just compact and stop after an accident. Well cars are made with crumple zones (sic) to protect the occupants of the vehicles.
Sorry, but you claim to know about basic physics and you are an "expert" with metal...yet you can't even spell "physics" or "steel", I highly doubt anyone should take the advice from your posts. I'm not picking on your spelling abilities, God knows I can't spell to save my life. But darn, your posts are almost illegible.
Also, please tell me why according to the NIST report, why the towers collapsed.
