Anyone ever consider the stresses on a bolt? It's not like stresses on an I-beam. All of the stress is exerted on a set of bolts - which are smaller than the overall area of metal that would be welded (as per the engineers' design - the design that was supposed to withstand an incidental impact with a significantly smaller liner of the time)...... and start figuring in the effects of heat and the type of stress exerted on these bolts...... they'll give LONG before the steel I-beams will - and long before the welds that were part of the original design would have.

But we'll go with government conspiracy - makes much more sense. I mean - nothing better to do in the White House than plan how to blow up a couple of our own buildings.

I mean - if they have the absolute control to orchestrate this - then they might as well declare martial law and use the threat of cruise missiles being dropped on our heads to keep us quiet. Because - for something of that scale to have been kept "secret" (and I don't mean your whistleblowers saying "he raped me" for attention that you have running around EVERY time an incident happens) - you would need almost the complete and total compliance of every government agency and a significant number of the 'low guys on the totem pole' to support this.

And if ANY administration or agency has that kind of influence - then using tales of deception makes no sense. By that logic - I could be told to wire up a 747 to a laptop computer and use it as a form of UAV to fly it into a football stadium - and I'd do it without question and be in support of oppressing the people.

Mark my words - I'll have no part of such thing and will be the first to bring to bear the power of the M-107 anti-material rifle upon any forces complying with such orders. I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and protect it's people - my fellow Americans - my father, brothers (mother - if she were still alive), friends, and everyone I've come to love - and those I have only seen in the form of "Population of XCity, USA".

True - our government is after power, but too many people take it to the extremes - the unhealthy extremes. For our government to work it has to have some power - and that is why we must keep a close eye on our government and be sure we understand we are the ones loaning them our power to make decisions - not the other way around. Sort of that - keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Trust me - there is no greater threat to America than Congress - aside from complacency and stupidity. But, damn.... they DO have jobs in those offices - and a number of them actually work at those jobs. And if they don't - they sure as heck aren't going out of their way to make more work for themselves in the form of plotting a conspiracy to blow us all up.

Ultima1,

I have given up on people. No matter how much a person posts the truth, there are always those who want to argue. I have argued for the "truthers" and I have against them. So have you. Bringing sound reasoning to people. My opinion is that people just don't want to hear it and will argue with you about linguistics. etc. Your best bet is to just leave this arguement alone IMO. I have tried talking peaceably and in an adult manor with this poster. As far as I'm concerned it's not worth it anymore. Just my opinion and advice. Although, you've taken this thread more than I could have. Peace.

But tell me, isn't the lobby right above the basement? And the blast that took out the windows in the lobby was from the basement.

Didn't you see the French brothers video of the firemen going into the lobby and the people comming up from the basement were burned?

If you bother to do any research and watch the videos you will find that there was a blast in the basement before the plane hit the building. People in the basement and in the looby were burned by the blast in the basement.

Sorry no fireball, since there was little fuel to make it.

No we go with what facts and evidence we can find. It makes more sense then believeing what the media tells us.

Were there thermite reactions in the basement too?

I'm still waiting for your proof of thermite reactions on the IMPACT floors, prior to the collapse. Fireman on the 78th floor didnt notice a thermite reaction eating away the core beams? No dripping/melted aluminum reports on the radio?

(interesting how you shifted to talk about the basement when pressed about your thermite theory....why is that? No proof?)

We also go with facts, and evidence, and tests done by professionals, experts, and actual people that were there. Testimony by firemen, survivors, and documented evidence.

Are you saying the NIST, FEMA and 911commission reports are not viable answers? They seem to answer every single one of your questions in this post. And how odd that they dont mention thermite....why is that I wonder. Hmmm..

Funny how you keep on Ultima's tail about linguistics and such when I've posted more evidence refuting what you say than you've refuted what he says? And yet, you ignore me. Why? Because you can't make a strawman of my comments? Me thinks.

Funny how you keep shifting the subject when someone post facts to debate you.

What test ? NIST stated they did not test any steel for explosives or chemical componds. But FEMA did, do you need me to post those test agian? Also NIST did not recover any steel from Building 7 to test.

Maybe you can tell me so many first responders are speaking out aganist the official story.

I have posted several NIST, FEMA and 9/11 commission reports that prove you and the official story wrong.

PLEASE TRY TO DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE POSTING !!!!!!

I guess I didnt realize you were a practicing Wiccan. Here is a nice link showing you how to make a strawman for Samhain:

en.wikipedia.org...

A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw man argument" is to create a position that is easy to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent. Often, the straw man is set up to deliberately overstate the opponent's position.[1] A straw man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it is in fact a misleading fallacy, because the opponent's actual argument has not been refuted.[2]

Its name is derived from the practice of using straw men in combat training. In such training, a scarecrow is made in the image of the enemy with the single intent of attacking it.[3] It is occasionally called a straw dog fallacy, scarecrow argument, or wooden dummy argument.

Such a large quote, and not one shred of evidence to back your thermite on the impact floor theory. We cannot debate your thermite on the impact floor theory if you dont show us the evidence you have proving it. You obviously are very passionate about your crusade....I would think you would have SOME evidence of it. You arent basing it on one far off shot of a liquid metal pouring from a window (of only 1 building I might add). No witness to it on either building?

Actually Samhain is a great celebration. Maybe you should try it some time.

BTW, I actually HAVE built a strawman before for Samhein. Thanks for noticing.


Also, Samhein is not strickly wiccan. Again, I say, education is gold.

Gee, its so fun and easy to prove you wrong.

Lets show everyone on here how many ways i can prove you wrong, and how much facts and evidence i can post, shall we begin?

1. 911research.wtc7.net...

Findings reported in Appendix C of FEMA's World Trade Center Building Performance Study seem to fit the thermite theory remarkably well.

Evidence of a severe high temperature corrosion attack on the steel, including oxidation and sulfidation with subsequent intergranular melting, was readily visible in the near-surface microstructure. A liquid eutectic mixture containing primarily iron, oxygen, and sulfur formed during this hot corrosion attack on the steel.
...
The severe corrosion and subsequent erosion of Samples 1 and 2 are a very unusual event. No clear explanation for the source of the sulfur has been identified.


2. pubs.usgs.gov...

In response to requests from the EPA through the USGS, NASA flew AVIRIS on a De Havilland Twin Otter over lower Manhattan at mid-day on September 16 and 23, 2001. For these deployments, the Twin Otter was flown at altitudes of 6,500 and 12,500 feet. The spectral data for the maps shown here were measured at 6,500 feet and have a spatial resolution (pixel spacing) of approximately 6 feet (2 meters).

AVIRIS records the near-infrared signature of heat remotely. The accompanying maps are false color images that show the core affected area around the World Trade Center. Initial analysis of these data revealed a number of thermal hot spots on September 16 in the region where the buildings collapsed 5 days earlier. Analysis of the data indicates temperatures greater than 800oF.



3. wtc.nist.gov...

Because NIST recovered no steel from WTC 7, it is not possible to make any statements about its quality. The recommended values for the stress-strain behavior were estimated using the same methodology that was used for the WTC 1 and WTC 2 steels (NIST NCSTAR 1-3D). The static yield strengths were estimated from historical averages and corrected for testing rate effects.

Because, prior to collapse, WTC 7 did not suffer any high-strain rate events, NIST made no effort to estimate high-strain-rate or impact properties of the steel.

No metallography could be carried out because no steel was recovered from WTC 7.



4. 911research.wtc7.net...

Given that the vast majority of the volatile jet fuel was consumed inside five minutes of each crash, the fires subsequently dwindled, limited to the fuels of conventional office fires. The fires in both towers diminished steadily until the South Tower's collapse. Seconds before, the remaining pockets of fire were visible only to the firefighters and victims in the crash zone. A thin veil of black smoke enveloped the tower's top. In the wake of the South Tower's fall new areas of fire appeared in the North Tower.

This summary is supported by simple observations of the extent and brightness of the flames and the color and quantity of smoke, using the available photographic and video evidence.

Visible flames diminished greatly over time. Significant emergence of flames from the building is only seen in a region of the North Tower 10 stories above the impact zone.
South Tower: Virtually no flames were visible at the time of its collapse.
North Tower: Flames were visible in several areas at the time of its collapse. A region of flames on the 105th floor is seen after the South Tower collapse.
The smoke darkened over time. While the fires in both towers emitted light gray smoke during the first few minutes following the impacts, the color of the smoke became darker.
South Tower: Smoke from the fires was black by the time it collapsed. At that time it was only a small fraction of the volume of the smoke from the North Tower.
North Tower: Smoke from the fires had become much darker by the time the South Tower was struck, 17 minutes after the fires were ignited. The smoke was nearly black when the South Tower collapsed. Thereafter the smoke appears to have lightened and emerged from the building at an accelerated rate.


After the fall of the South Tower, the North Tower continued to produce prodigious quantities of smoke, and showed regions of active fires. See photographs.
Dark smoke implies the presence of soot, which is composed of uncombusted hydrocarbons. Soot is produced when a fire is oxygen-starved, or has just been extinguished. Soot also has a high thermal capacity and may act to rob a fire of heat by carrying it away.

There appears to be no evidence of fires within the buildings' cores. It can be assumed that most of the fires were near the perimeters of the towers where broken windows around the crash zone allowed them a supply of air. The cores were an average distance of about 70 feet from the nearest walls, and had much less flammable material than the surrounding offices. The impact gash in the North Tower provided a line of sight to the core. Available photographs and videos show the gash as consistently dark, showing no signs of fire in the building's core.


To be continued.

I would think if you wanted to debate this, you could come up with an answer to how an airplane sitting on sagging floors, melts and starts to pour out the facade (i.e uphill, anti-gravity etc.). Maybe actually think about that. How does molten aluminum disregard the force of gravity to flow over the lip of the bowl (for lack of wording)? Explain that.
