(I am told he has some errors here and there)
...
In reality, this didn't happen. The columns weren't even part of the collapse as the debris from above fell around them, punched through floor slabs without ever loading the columns, and providing large lateral forces that pushed the columns outwards a force that they were not designed, nor able to resist in any large capacity.
Momentum is a fundamental quantity in mechanics that is conserved in the absence of external forces. Conservation of momentum follows from invariance under translation by Noether's symmetry theorem. Eric Weisstein's World of Math A similar quantity conserved in the absence of noncentral forces is called angular momentum.
So, the man that said it was going to blow up... KNEW the building was getting demolished?

McPadden has changed his story many times. I pointed this out several months ago. If I have time I will find them.
Originally posted by talismanSo now, considering the inconsistency I see in the damage, HOW THE BUILDING FELL which is highly suspect, the quotes from the CNN clip, with people being told "the building is about to blow up" and "keep your eye on that building it will be coming down soon"
You perseverate on the "blow up" quote. Why?
Why dont you get it? There were MANY specialist... Professionals there. They all suspected that with the damage and unfought fires...the building was in serious jeopardy.

Self evident, he is refering to loud explosions or noises.
or noises? Maybe Silverstein farted?
(kidding)
No one was an eyewitness to any explosions. Yes I agree that explosions were more than likely heard. Lets not beat a dead horse
Your quote are all the same. There was a collapse zone. DO you know why? yes...they FEARED the worse. Their fears were realized.

I don't see a problem with believing Cheif Nigro covering up something.
I think the evidence leads me to conclude Chief Nigro is not telling the truth, or hiding something.
So there we have it. Chief Nigro was in on it!
NOW ....you DO know that Chief Nigro was not in charge from the beginning? Chief of Department Peter Ganci died in the collapse of the north tower. He was in charge. So tell me. How would Chief Nigro know that Mr. Ganci would die, leaving Chief Nigro in charge? Was he that evil? Please explain HOW Chief Nigro would know this?

#3. False Analogy
Using your LOGIC
Your analogy about the heart attack is false again, because neither Craig Bartmer or Chief Nigro are bona-fide experts in controlled demolitions.
Der.. No they are not... I never implied that they did or didn't. But Chief Nigro was trained to know when a building is in jeopardy. It's what he did for a living. The police officers training in building structures can not compare to that of the Chief of a city fire department.
Now if there were a terrorist seen around NY. I would listen to a police officers advice over that of a fireman in that instance.
Ug....
All I know is that you are accusing an incredible hero (Chief Nigro) for covering up the destruction of at LEAST one skyscraper.
Who? The FDNY? So they ARE in on it?

*IF* you mean that some members of the FDNY were "IN ON IT" as in the sense they were told the building was going to collapse and for safety reasons, it was going to be brought down. "IN ON IT" in the sense they thought they were "IN ON" the right thing being done for safety...Then probably YES!!
Originally posted by talisman
No I don't mean "IN ON IT" like that. They were convinced by someone (MOST LIKELY CIA), since the CIA had some office in building 7 of the operation.
So, the Chief and whomever else from the FDNY thought they were "IN ON" saving lives.
Originally posted by talisman
False comparison, NO SKYSCRAPER were in jeopardy like this before, so he had ZERO experience in that regard. Furthermore, you contradict your own pattern of logic..
Originally posted by talisman
YOUR LOGIC:
MADRID BUILDING=DIFF BUILDING SO IT CAN'T BE COMPARED
Therefore, since WT7 was so unique, and skyscrapers haven't fallen in the past due to fires, and I can't compare other buildings,then the Chief had NO EXPERIENCE in this regard.
Originally posted by talisman
Hero? I am not saying he thought he did the wrong thing. He thought he did the right thing. He probably lied about it thinking it was a needed thing to do.
I don't think that means he is a bad person, or not a hero.

Please answer my first question. Dancing around by posting different threads won't cut it... unless you can direct me to a single post that gives me the answer I requested.
Thanks, I hope your feeling better tonight.
[edit on 13-3-2008 by CaptainObvious]
Please explain to me HOW you can CD a building that has been on fire for house? A building that has been hit by debris of a collapsing skyscraper. Zero planning.... demolished for safety. Do you know how long it takes to plan and execute a controlled demolition? This would have been the tallest building in history to be taken down via CD. And you are claiming it was done without any planning?
So, the CIA told Chief Nigro that they would be saving lives by imploding the building..... Dude... I don't get it?
His decision was to make sure not another life was lost. And it was the right one.
Your entire post has me baffled. How is it that a Chief of a Fire Department can order the destruction of a BURNING skyscraper. You tell me what Controlled Demolition expert would run into a burning skyscraper with TNT and detonation cord!

Simple really, they could have said the building was going to fall over. They could have also told him about the dangers of all those little secrets in those files getting into the "TERRORISTS" hands.

Umm WHAT ?? Are you serious??? BWahahhahaha!! The building had built in bombs?!!!
You realize how insane this is right? There were bombs planted in the building "just in case?" Kind of like Gene Hackman's place in the movie "Enemy of the State?" Or Mel Gibson in " Conspiracy Theory?"
And then you say this ????

Originally posted by talisman
Especially, when it involves random fires and damage doing what essentially a controlled demolition does.
Substance? like your post?
First of all...think. You went from saying the building was wired just in case...to it possibly been wired just prior.
They were a wall street investment bank that was founded in 1910. It wasn't until after the 1993 bombing that the bunker was built.
To suggest that the building was wired to be part of this conpisracy is just as absurd
To wire a building that is open for business 24-7 is improbable..if not impossible.
To who? You. And conspiracy theorists
As far as the news crews go, they were all told through out the afternoon that the building was in jeopardy.
What do you think happened? The NWO sent out the script too soon to the media? Come on dude... Think!!
What does this mean???
You offer zero evidence to support your theory Talisman. You respond with opinions and only opinions.
To suggest that someone can start random fires and do a little damage is pure BS. It doesnt work that way and you know it.
the Dutch CD expert that I first brought to your attention does not think the buildings were brought down by conventional controlled demolitions.

I don't know of to many collapses of such structures where people actually predict the collapse so close to collapse! That is self evident.
–FDNY Chief Frank Fellini
The major concern at that time was number Seven, building number Seven, which had taken a big hit from the north tower. When it fell, it ripped steel out from between the third and sixth floors across the facade on Vesey Street. We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing.
graphics8.nytimes.com...
At that time, other firefighters started showing up, Deputy Battalion Chief Paul Ferran of the 41 Battalion, and James Savastano of the First Division assigned to the Second Battalion showed up and we attempted to search and extinguish, at the time which was small pockets of fire in 7 World Trade Center. We were unaware of the damage in the front of 7, because we were entering from the northeast entrance. We weren't aware of the magnitude of the damage in the front of the building. – FDNY Captain Anthony Varriale
graphics8.nytimes.com...
A few minutes after that a police officer came up to me and told me that the façade in front of Seven World Trade Center was gone and they thought there was an imminent collapse of Seven World Trade Center. –FDNY Lieutenant William Melarango
/e7bzp
So we go there and on the north and east side of 7 it didn’t look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good. But they had a hose line operating. Like I said, it was hitting the sidewalk across the street, but eventually they pulled back too.
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.
So we gathered up rollups and most of us had masks at that time. We headed toward 7. And just around we were about a hundred yards away and Butch Brandeis came running up. He said forget it, nobody’s going into 7, there’s creaking, there are noises coming out of there, so we just stopped. And probably about 10 minutes after that, Visconti, he was on West Street, and I guess he had another report of further damage either in some basements and things like that, so Visconti said nobody goes into 7, so that was the final thing and that was abandoned.
Firehouse Magazine: When you looked at the south side, how close were you to the base of that side?
Boyle: I was standing right next to the building, probably right next to it.
Firehouse: When you had fire on the 20 floors, was it in one window or many?
Boyle: There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered through there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably a third of it, right in the middle of it. And so after Visconti came down and said nobody goes in 7, we said all right, we’ll head back to the command post. – Capt. Chris Boyle
–M.J., Employed at 45 Broadway
Anyway, I was looking at WTC7 and I noticed that it wasn’t looking like it was straight. It was really weird. The closest corner to me (the SE corner) was kind of out of whack with the SW corner. It was impossible to tell whether that corner (the SW) was leaning over more or even if it was leaning the other way. With all of the smoke and the debris pile, I couldn’t exactly tell what was going on, but I sure could see the building was leaning over in a way it certainly should not be. I asked another guy looking with me and he said “That building is going to come down, we better get out of here.” So we did.
graphics8.nytimes.com...
So we left 7 World Trade Center, back down to the street, where I ran into Chief Coloe from the 1st Division, Captain Varriale, Engine 24, and Captain Varriale told Chief Coloe and myself that 7 World Trade Center was badly damaged on the south side and definitely in danger of collapse. Chief Coloe said we were going to evacuate the collapse zone around 7 World Trade Center, which we did. – FDNY Lieutenant Rudolph Weindler
Chief Nigro directed me to continue monitoring conditions at the site. Specifically to monitor number 7 World Trade Center. We were very concerned with the collapse potential there, and to do whatever I could do to ensure site safety in that no additional people became injured. –FDNY Deputy Chief Harold Meyers
graphics8.nytimes.com...
We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing. So for the next five or six hours we kept firefighters from working anywhere near that building, which included the whole north side of the World Trade Center complex. –Chief Frank Fellini
