Whoever said the plane didn't penetrate the building is either lying or didn't see the videos of it going right through and then exploding,and went about half way out the other side before exploding.The nerve of some debunkers trying to pass that off as smoke.That's not smoke.How does the soft nose of a plane penetrate all that steel and concrete unscathed?It's impossible unless it was modified.
4.2 Exterior columns
The 64m (208 ft) wide façade is, in effect, a prefabricated steel lattice. The exterior columns are narrowly spaced and finished with a silver-colored aluminum cladding. The main building block of the outer structure was a prefabricated element, which was comprised of 3 floors, was
11 m high and 3.07m wide,
The prefabricated panel consisted of three columns connected by 3 transverse plates, called spandrels. The steel columns are of square cross-section ( b´b´t = 356mm´ 356mm´ 9.5mm). and they were spaced 570 mm apart from each other. The segments were staggered and bolted to their neighboring elements in every direction,
Each column was a box structure, almost square, with a assumed wall thickness of 9.5mm ext t = . In actuality, the exterior columns were variable in thickness of 12.5mm at the bottom of the buildings to 7mm at the top. The true columns thickness of that portion that was hit is not known to the authors. In the present analysis, the columns were assumed to be made of the medium grade A36, constructional steel characterized by:
4.5 Connections
Each prefabricated panel was bolted through spandrels to its horizontal neighbor with 2 rows of 18 bolts each. This is, again, an estimated value, but as you will see later on in this discussion, a bolted connection is so weak that the diameter of these bolts within plus and minus 5mm is really insignificant. It is easy to calculate the cross sectional shear strength of
the bolts, and is approximately half of the shear strength of the parent material, and possibly less because of stress concentrations. The photographic coverage of “Ground Zero” has proven that individual, prefabricated panels were almost all separated at these bolted seems, and it can further be said that it was actually the bolts which fractured rather than the material in the spaces in-between them. Concerning the connection between the staggered, prefabricated elements in the vertical direction, there were only four bolts adhering the interfaces of two
columns. The bolt cross sectional areas in these joints comprised approximately 2.3% of the column cross-section. Clearly there is a gross incompatibility between the strength of the connections (in shear and in tension) with the strength of the columns themselves. Elementary,
beam-bending theory calculations show that these bolts would have failed with only 1 mm transverse deflection of the columns (loaded as a beam). For all practical purposes they may be assumed to have negligible strength in bending, shear and tension. The strength of connection
between the exterior wall and floor trusses is discussed in Section 6.
Grasping at straws. In controlled demolitions, flashes go up the entire building. There were only 2 flashes in those videos, not enough to prove it was a controlled demolition. As for the other videos on explosions, there are far more explosives in that in controlled demolition, plus those popping sounds were most likely the debris falling down to the ground. Try looking at this from a rational point of view.

Let's watch that again shall we?

And whoever showed the f4 test crash video..that plane is a lot more stronger than a 757 because it's smaller and more compact.Not that it helped because it still blew up on contact,which is what would be expected.
Did someone say no flashes?You mean like these?

The best evidence of flashes right here...Smoking gun type stuff.

No sounds of explosions caught on video you say?
Then what are these?Are you sure you debunkers don't work for Nist?

You really can't argue credentials when there are many people with credentials who don't subscribe to your irrational claims, yet you refuse to believe out of mental illness/the need to be in a group/fear/gullibility/etc. Sure, there may be people with credentials in your movement, but it's a very small number of people, even minus of the people who haven't looked into 9/11. And the people who built said that it could withstand Boeing 707's (I decided to link to a site with a clear truther bias so you don't cry disinfo: www.911oz.com...), not Boeing 767s, not to mention ones that were being used as missles for that matter. As for the video, there were not enough flashes to prove it was a controlled demolition. It's really hard to argue against what a video you posted shows. You only say there are tons of flashes because you want to believe there is. Stop being a denialist and think rationally.

You act as though it was just a empty shell.They were built with planes in mind.You don't think they had the outer wall reinforced?
I believe the people who built the towers over some unknown debunker online with no credentials.So you can take your BS somewhere else.
There are tons of flashes in those videos and you lie and say there were 2??WOW!
Next!

I have read most of the pages on these 2 simultaneous 'magic ball' threads and I think that all of you need to do some research on 'Scalar Wave' technology.
There are many facets to the use of this technology, one of which is Scalar Weaponery'.
That 'magic ball' could well be explained as being 'Tesla Plasma Globes' which involve remotely targeted scalar beams used in various methods of destructive warfare.
This is not a new technology, however it is an intensely guarded secret kept by governments for their unconventional warfare needs against eachother. This technology was stolen by USGov from Nicola Tesla who, like Einstein, did not intend his scientific discovery to by used in this destructive fashion, rather for extracting free energy. Yes: FREE!...LoL...
I'm not going to get into detail on this theory, so I suggest that you decide for yourselves whether this info could apply here, rather than arguing about nose cones and building structures.
Keep in mind that the controlled demolitions were likely detonated upon impact, in a chain reaction from the initial Scalar impact.
Entire floors in those buildings had been totally off limits, due to the fact that they were fitted with the secondary bombs that struck their final blow by taking the buildings down into vertical free fall.

For once, I think I'm in agreement with you, ipsedixit....regarding these "weapons".
What ELSE might "flash"...on a bright sunny Fall morning....on on office building/skyscraper that has a whole bunch of windows on its exterior?
What could have been happening inside, as the fires raged, and internal structures were failing, falling...things that aren't visible from the exterior?
Just curious, what modifications do you think would be sufficient to the plane to allow it to do what you are claiming. It would be interesting to hear what an engineer thinks would be necessary to add to the airframe to make this a 'do-able' idea.
