CONCLUSION
Several seismic stations recorded seismic signals originating from two events which occurred at the WTC site, immediately prior to both aircraft impacts. Because these signals preceded the impacts there can be no doubt that the seismic signals recorded were not those associated with the aircraft impacts on the Towers.
I read these articles very, very. carefully, so I could understand the information. From what I'm seeing, the seismic data reported from Columbia University (and corroborated by Pallisaides) show two small blips, then two gigantic blips, which one would normally think were the initial impact, and the final collapse, of each tower.
If my understanding is correct, becuase the 9/11 commission report recorded the initial impact strike at a different time, the author is concluding that the small blip is actually some mysterious seismic activity and the gigantic blip is in fact the plane impact? If that was the case then there would have to be a THIRD seismic activity for the actual collapse of each structure, and the chart shows no such thing. Moreover, are the authors really claiming it's de fact proof the attack was an inside job entirely becuase there's a 17 second discrepency between the 9/11 report and the seismic charts...? Do I understand this material correctly?
Due to the lack of a third seismic activity to account for the actual collapse, I would conclude the 9/11 commission report made a simple mistake in when the aircraft struck the towers, and the first seismic activity really IS the plane impact, and the second, the collapse. Likewise, claiming it's de facto proof of it being an inside job simply over a 17 second discrepency is stretching things a tad. The Palisaides report itself says the actual times reported for the aircraft impacts by the media are all over the place.
By all means, please explain to me why anything I said here is wrong.
ALSO the Plane Cabin was roughly the size of two and a half stories. Big enough to put a HUGE hole into the building.

Nowhere in the commission report did it discuss the mechanics of the collapse, so it's blatantly obvious you're makign this claim up off the top of your he

And what do you call this?
On pg 308, the report says "...the North Tower began its pancake collapse..."

Honestly, you official story guys should refrain from arguing about what happened at the Pentagon at all, I mean really. The pictorial evidence of the Pentagon before the wall collapsed is so damning to the "official story", it's unbelieveable! I mean, at what point do you realize your argument is impossible in the face of overwhelming, contradictory visual evidence? And don't be mad at me, I didn't hang you out to dry.
The more you argue such ridiculousness, the deeper the holes you dig for yourselves (and for the overall official story) become.
Peace

For comparison, they dragged over 95% of TWA800 out of the water and rebuilt it.

Do you realize how foolish you look right now?
TWA 800's center fuel tank ignited and exploded in mid air, breaking off the forward section of the aircraft. All pieces ended up hitting the water at terminal velocity, roughly 130-150 mph, with terminal velocity being ultimately dependent on the size of the piece of aircraft falling and any residual imparted speed.
Read that again. The pieces that made up TWA 800 hit the water at 130-150 mph.
AA77 hit the Pentagon, with its outer wall being made of concrete, marble slabs, cinderblock and steel reinforcement at approximately 500 mph.
It is no wonder at all to anyone who understands aeronautical issues that TWA 800 could be rebuilt in that hangar at Calverton.
Also, how many "Pentagon walls" did the plane have to go through?
Also You can not show us a 757 size hole in the pentagon. Swampfox could not do it, GoodOlDave cant do it and you cant do it.
If you can show us the Photo of a 757 SIZE HOLE in the first wall OR skid marks where plane engines dragged across the lawn please do so. So far your other propaganda mates have been unsuccessful.

It`s not so much the twisting of time that FEMA done, it`s wether the actual impact from the planes would have managed to register on a seismic graph, one of those who made the report emphasised this, the readings are done via the ground and he estimated that the buildings would soak up the impact so whatever was recorded just prior to the impacts wether incorrectly timed or not could have not been the jets hitting,

In other words, the author has the hypothesis that the technicians at Columbia and Pallisaides are wrong when they declare the primary spikes were the plane impacts becuase his hypothesis is that the plane impacts couldn't be seen by them. He then uses that hypothesis to support the followup hypothesis that becuase they couldn't be plane impacts, the primary spikes had to be unaccountable explosions unrelated to the plane impacts...? Then, he uses THAT hypothesis to arrive at another hypothesis that it was really an inside job...?
I want to make sure I fully understand, before I say anythign further.
SUMMARY
On September 11, 2001, the seismic stations grouped around New York City recorded seismic events from the WTC site, two of which occurred immediately prior to the aircraft impacts upon the Twin Towers. Because these seismic events preceded the collisions, it is clear they were not associated with the impacts and must therefore be associated with some other occurrence. None of the authorities charged with the responsibility for the investigation of the events of 9/11 have proposed a source for these seismic events, nor have they given a valid reason for the difference in times between the seismic events and the aircraft impacts. Only by consideration of the evidence of basement explosions before the aircraft impacts, as experienced by William Rodriquez and 36 others, can an explanation be found for the fact that the seismic stations recorded seismic events originating from the WTC sites prior to the aircraft impacts. It seems unlikely that Middle Eastern terrorists could have overcome the WTC security and managed this kind of high-level, technological coordination. Do the facts presented here, simple and few, raise the possibility of inside involvement in 9/11/01, both before and after the attack?
OVERVIEW
This paper is primarily concerned with the factual data surrounding the exact impact times of the two aircraft that hit WTC1 and WTC2. This is neither theory nor hypothesis, but a statement of publicized facts regarding the timing of the aircraft impacts. There exist two separate precision data time sets that address when the aircraft crashed into the Towers. Both data time sets are based on UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, the world’s atomic clock system) and the sources that determined these times were prestigious, reliable and credible. There is no question regarding the precision and accuracy of the instruments used to record both data time sets, since their entire function depends and relies upon temporal accuracy, and therefore there can be no doubt that both data time sets are correct. The time data sets represent objective scientific data recorded by two separate, independent entities.The problem is the data sets have different impact times. These times were given out years ago but at different times. Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University (LDEO) gave its findings around the time of the event with what it thought were impact times based upon the seismic data recorded, while the 9/11 Commission published its impact times, based upon FAA radar data and air traffic control software logic, years later in its Final Report.
The Commission no longer exists.
