(FEDERALJACK) This video is of major importance considering the south tower fell first even though it was struck second. The reporter is confirming that the FDNY was doing what they do best…..putting the pockets of fire out. So this begs the question, how do we go from this to total structural collapse at almost free fall speed??? EXPLOSIVES.

Black smoke also equals copper wiring , plastics , materials found in furniture , styrofoam , carpet , computer equipment , laminated surfaces , etc.,
The black smoke is not evidence that the fires were starving for oxygen . If you don't believe me , go out and burn some of the materials I mentioned , and come back and tell me if there was any black smoke resulting from it .
you arent an expert are you? credentials?
I don't need to be an expert to know that any number of those materials , or a combination thereof , can and will , produce black smoke .
I never said oxygen-starved fires do not produce black smoke .

Key word for the day : comprehension .
Glad to see that you are now open to allowing opinions in the 9/11 threads nowadays . You're making great progress .
You claimed everything “but oxygen starved fire,” nice game of deflection you play.

The timeline for the collapse of WTC 2 according to FEMA 403 and NIST NCSTAR 1 (Draft) is summarised as follows:
Time Damage and Fire
09:02:59 EDT
(GMT +4 hours)
A hijacked Boeing 767-200ER airplane crashed into the east side of the south face of WTC 2 between the 78th and 84th floors, directly causing
Entry slash on the perimeter columns from the 77th to 85th floor
Most damage to the 80th and 81st floors
33 perimeter columns cut off, 1 seriously damaged
10 core columns cut off, 1 seriously damaged
39 core columns stripped of insulation on one or more floors
Insulation stripped from trusses covering 7,432 m2 (80,000 ft2) of floor area
09:03 ~ 09:30
Jet fuel erupted into fireballs and ejected from the 79th, 81st and 82nd floors
Fireballs burned for 10 sec, extending almost 61 m (200 ft) out from the north, east and south faces
Vigorous fires on the east side of the 80th to 83rd floors
Within 18 min of the crash, the east perimeter columns between the 79th to 83rd floors had bowed inward due to floors sagging
09:30 ~ 09:58
Fires continued to burn in the east half of the tower
09:58:59
The top of the tower tilted to the east and south, and WTC 2 collapse
Opinions are fine, however they are not proven facts.
Now who would you believe, a trained reporter like Oliver, or ...
