The facts that skyscrapers must hold themselves up against gravity and withstand the wind should have allowed EVERYONE to figure out that a single airliner could not TOTALLY DESTROY buildings that big within a matter of weeks.
Skyscraper designers must carefully determine how to distribute the steel.
But after NINE YEARS most of the experts on both sides of the issue are not going into any detail on that issue.
Look at pictures of the CN Tower in Toronto. How did they decide on that shape? The tower is not a building so it doesn't have lots of empty space inside and its structure is exposed. But gravity works the same way everywhere on the planet. The support steel in the WTC had to have a similar distribution. But because the WTC did not get narrower toward the top it had even more serious wind problem than the CN Tower.
So talking about an airliner destroying one of those buildings in less than two hours without accurate data on the distributions of steel and concrete is absurd.
We are being handed a colossal snow job.
The engineering schools have made themselves look silly by letting it drag on for more than a year.

911 was bad for many reasons. learn from it. Move on.
So you are basically saying you want to believe what you want to believe instead of what you see. Which means you can not be convinced with arguments and reason.
Trying to convince that kind of people is a mood point, for they will not aknowledge anything you present them. .
They cant be convnced because they do not want to be convinced. They wont aknowledge any arguments you make, but will jump on anything that turns out to be untrue
Sounds like you are describing a typical truther . Furthermore , you come across as the typical truther does . Saytan75 gave you his opinion and this is how you responded , Be honest , you weren't really looking for opinions that differ from your own , now were you ?
And , why must some of you people always bring the holocaust into a 9/11 thread ? Where is the relevance ?
Either a couple of cavesquatters highjacked airliners during the very same day Norad was conducting related wargames and therefore unaware that what they were seeing was not part of a wargame and caused 2 buildings to explode and one to collapse into its own footprint without a plane impacting, or there is more to it and explosives were involved.
Then the 2 airliners impacted both towers at exactly the same tilt angle, quite a feat for 2 amateurish pilots.
The official tale is of such a low probability to have unfolded as described it cant be taken into consideration. The notion that you can conduct a controlled demolition of a skyscraper by starting a couple of fires on the upper floors is ridiculous. The only way it can be achieved is to take out all supporting columns at the same time.
So far all you had was namedropping of supposedly smart engineers, but they did not even talk about tower 7 in the official report. And that nice animation of theirs, that showed one floor pancaking unto another and the steel core standing, did not explain either what caused the steelcore of the building to desintegrate.

Tell me you do not see and hear a sequence of explosions turning the building into fine dust floor by floor. I am curious how anybody is going to explain a plane impacting a building and fires doing THAT.
What do we need threads about "no planes theories" or other theories that cant be backed up for and will only be used by "debunkers" to make the claim that the official tale must be true, if it turns out one little thing the opposition said turns out to be false.
Again, the plane did not destroy the building, gravity did the work.

Ill trust the people the Americans trusted to send them to the moon on this one.
Yeah sure, so we end up with endless idiotic delusional physics analyses.
The designers had to figure out the distribution of steel so the buildings stood for 29 years but we can ignore that and say gravity did it. YEAH RIGHT!
The nation that put men on the Moon is the most idiotic on the planet.
Gravity alone can't overcome what was designed to resist gravity.
The paper loops were as weak as possible and the structure stood for 3 days. I did two drops and most of the loops were still intact. The top of the north tower could not possibly have crushed the rest of the building.
Let's see you build a physical model that can support its own weight and then have the top 15% crush the rest.
The house of cards tricks where the cards are not damaged doesn't count.

Its really simple. The planes hitting the buildings causing sufficient damage to cause the buildings to collapse.
If you live in that nation, like I do, then GET OUT!
Physics is incapable of giving a damn about NAZI morons.
Nationalism is irrelevant trash to physics.
So try building a physical model that can collapse.
Call it unAmerican if it will not collapse.

Well what do you expect? The truthers don't have even a microbe of any actual tangible evidence of any conspiracy...no insiders coming forward, no evidence of any steel destroyed by explosives, no suspicious electronics found in the rubble, not even a gum wrapper left behind by any of these secret agents... so they have no choice but to argue over every flipping nut, bolt, and door hinge to find proof of the conspiracy they're "so sure" is there somewhere. Go look at the "Shanksville witness Viola Sayer" thread and you'll see a guy arguing over the exact measurements of how high flight 93 was in feet as each witness along the flight path saw it in turn. I've even seen one guy here demanding to know the exact name of the photographer who took the photos of the wreckage at the Pentagon. Like it's going to mean anything to them even if they knew?
When it gets so ridiculous that the truthers are even arguing over the differences in the definitions of "aircraft" vs "airplane"...and if a certain truther is reading this, you'll know I'm referring to you...this ISN'T research, It's a sign of grasping at straws out of desperation from not wanting these conspiracy claims to be false. If you don't believe me, the next time you're at a bar and you try to convince someone of these conspiracies, go ahead and start arguing over the definitions of aircraft vs airplane, and see whether or not they'll think you're just a crackpot.
Accept or decline this at your own cost.
