Haha Yup, NIST is government funded! If the government can lie so can its affiliates. I wouldnt put to much into what the government sais, mostly when they talk you need to read between the lines or look for there hidden agenda(s).
And no, I'm not saing the gov is involved in the WTC incedent. And yes, I claim they lie, mosltly because they were cought on tape doing so.
As for NIST, well they could make that building look like a little spider took it the down.

Anyways you wanna prove it to yourself that metal dont work that way? rent an acytalene cutting torch for the weekend(about $50), then get a bunch of diffrent steel pieces(even if they come from the scrap yard). Then try and weld some metal toghether, heat up metals to see how long it takes to melt or deform the metal. try whatever you like... you will see that trying to break your own weld is pretty hard to do. Warping or melting steel, you will see the amount of heat it takes to even juts beable to bend metal, let alone melt metal.
You will also have to remember that you are useing "controled fire" to melt or warp metal. Now try and redo what you did with the torch on an open fire, you can even use gas(s) in your "uncontroled fire" if you wish, but you will not warp metal or melt it with an open fire.

Sorry space bits...your wrong.
Try to think of a tornado that take a piece of wood and sends it through a concrete wall! I posted this before and you didn't pay much attention to it. A tornado can send a 2x4 through a cement wall goingaround 110 miles per hour. The two planes that hit the towers were going roughly 4-5 times that fast.
Originally posted by SpaceBits
Ok, well for one, the 2x4 is a solid piece and is quite small kinda like an arrow or bullet. In comparison to the nose of the plane, there is a difrence of about 20 feet or more? also, wood is stronger than alluminum in most case's.
747 are reported to have speed of up to 580mph, but it was reported that the plane wasnt flying at top speed(the speed of the plane cant be proven.)
also a tornado is quite diffrent, considering it can pick up a cow and throw it a mile away. tornados are odd events and the currents are still under scientific reviews. the eye of a tornado could have a speed of 100mph while the top could be spinning alot faster.

A 2x4 is stronger than an multi engined jet?
A tornado is an odd event?
Tornadoes have "eyes?"

video.google.com...
This is the same corner that collapses in the first post of this thread, it so happens to have thermite falling out of the side of it....

Based on this comprehensive investigation, NIST concluded that the WTC towers collapsed because: (1) the impact of the planes severed and damaged support columns, dislodged fireproofing insulation coating the steel floor trusses and steel columns, and widely dispersed jet fuel over multiple floors; and (2)the subsequent unusually large jet-fuel ignited multi-floor fires (which reached temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius) significantly weakened the floors and columns with dislodged fireproofing to the point where floors sagged and pulled inward on the perimeter columns. This led to the inward bowing of the perimeter columns and failure of the south face of WTC 1 and the east face of WTC 2, initiating the collapse of each of the towers. Both photographic and video evidence—as well as accounts from the New York Police Department aviation unit during a half-hour period prior to collapse—support this sequence for each tower.

Because you cant say it's thermite/mate untill you can absolutly prove it with out a resonable dout, and guess what... that will never be allowed.
You cant just go down there and ask for some metal samples to examine, they'll just laugh at you, and say, we did our test allready no more needs done. Thats why the investigation is allready done/complete and we have no choice but to accsept there findings, even though many claim they missed a tone of evidence.
Were suposed to be good little ppl and just listen to authority, not question it. Even though GZ was hotter that the actual fire itself after 1 month, kinda makes you wonder how thats even possible, doesnt it?

CaptainObvious, I'm going to finally prove to you that NIST is a pile of garbage. It is nothing more than speculation and wild guesses. If you would have actually read the NIST reports, you would know that they clearly tell you that all of their research is based on photographs and video. They do not have any real evidence what-so-ever to support their bogus claims. The pure fact that they based their wild guesses on photos and videos tells you that they have no more evidence than any other person in the world with an internet connection.
From NIST:

CaptianObvious, read the bold words above. This is the weakest part of their entire wild guess. Using photos and videos only, they guessed that the fireproofing was actually knocked off of the steel in the buildings. Can YOU or NIST please explain with PROOF or EVIDENCE of fireproofing being knocked off? Can YOU or NIST explain what could possibly have caused this massive fireball in the following image, if all the jet fuel was supposedly "widely dispersed over multiple floors"?
The truth is, all of the jet fuel was burned up on impact. The above image is proof. So, even if the so called fireproofing was magically knocked off (even though its designed to withstand explosions/fire), there is only simple office fires left to blame. I have proof with photos and video (just like NIST) that these office fires were not hot enough to weaken the steel, simply by looking at the color and density of the smoke coming from the fire.
So, not only did I just prove that NIST is wrong, and just wildly guessing, but I proved that something other than structural failure and fire made the building collapse.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Also, I never claimed thermite was used to take down the towers, but the evidence shows thermite was at ground zero on 911, so I have to acknowledge it.
This corner of the WTC in the O.P.'s video is irrelivant anyway. The WTC's did not rely on the outer structure for it to remain standing. The inner core is what supports the weight of the building, much like a tree trunk supports the tree's branches and leaves. You can break all the branches you want, but the trunk will remain.
