was deliberate demolition or accidental. So unless there is a strong lateral
force acting on it the building will fall in pile centered on its footprint.

interesting!?!? So you think that the plane that "went down" in Shanksville was supposed to fly into WTC? I never even thought of that but yet it makes a lot of sense! They state that the plane was supposed to fly into the capitol....

yeah I can see all that. Its just hard sifting through all the disinfo that is everywhere. I watched something on the history channel yesterday called Inside 9-11, or something. Everything on there reeks of disinfo. Stuff that is blatantly obvious to people like you or me.

Are there pictures of this global collapse? I'm interested to see what the columns look like. Thanks.

So why do you fly halfway across the country to hit something you
can see? Flight 93 was south east of Pittsburg heading SOUTH!, away
from NYC and WTC complex, but in line to Washington. Intended target
was Capitol or as Bin Laden termed it "the tower of laws".

3 days with heavy equipment (cranes) to clear wreckage to recover
body of fireman.
Many of the people present that day were sent to
WTC in early afternoon to assist FDNY. The captain in charge of the
crew who lost the man was also in command at WTC (as a battalion chief)
They were in World Financial Center across street from WTC 7 putting out fire in WFC 3.
Unlike others here who seem to rely on lunatic
fringe web sites, heard it from people (police,firemen, FDNY) who were at
the scene that day.

Wish I had the real construction documentation of the WTC to actually make an informed opinion based on real materials. My calcs were just arbitrary steel members that have no bearing on the WTC.

Are those anywhere available to the public, or have they been put away so nobody can get them? If you cannot get them, why have they been removed from public viewing?

Amazing how they couldn't fight the small fires in WTC 7 (small at least by the time they were told not to fight them and the fire was able to spread) because of no water, but we hear of firefighters fighting fire across the street from it? I'm not saying I don't believe you, just that I don't believe "them" when they say that there was no water to fight 7.
Then we received an order from Fellini, we’re going to make a move on 7. That was the first time really my stomach tightened up because the building didn’t look good. I was figuring probably the standpipe systems were shot. There was no hydrant pressure. I wasn’t really keen on the idea. Then this other officer I’m standing next to said, that building doesn’t look straight. So I’m standing there. I’m looking at the building. It didn’t look right, but, well, we’ll go in, we’ll see.
We assisted some FDNY personnel who were beginning to attempt to fight the fire at 7 WTC. We assisted in dragging hose they needed to bring water into the building. –Kenneth Kohlmann PAPD P.O.
Greenwich and Park was covered with debris, there were burning autos and all debris. It was starting to extend into the buildings on both sides of the block. We went to hydrants in that area. We had off duty guys in our cells, but the hydrants had no water. We did whatever we could. The rigs actually were starting to become in danger of lighting up themselves
The 7 World Trade Center was roaring. All we could think is we were an Engine Company, we have got to get them some water. We need some water you know. With that, we positioned the rig, I don't know, 3 quarters of a block away maybe. A fire boat was going to relay water to us. I don't know if I have things in the right order, whatever, if we were getting water out of a hydrant first. Jesus Christ --
