Even with evidence right in front of them the debunkers still deny it.That's why people think they're working for the government.

There is a strong line between having doubt and having evidence. What you and the truthers have is a strong sense of DOUBT in the situation, not evidence. If you think you are 100% sure about your position, then you are taking it on faith, not on evidence.

No you got it backwards. There is NO evidence that any of those buildings collapsed from fire.
Physics tells us this is impossible. The final outcome of all 3 collapses contradicts the OS. WTC7 landed in its own footprint, as evidenced by the outer walls being in top of the debris pile post collapse.
You can disagree with those claims but its not the point, why should YOUR opinion of the collapses be the deciding factor for a new investigation.
If there is doubt to an explanation then an alternative explanation should be researched, nothing at all wrong with that unless you have some personal reason to not want a new investigation.
If the police used your logic the jails would be full of innocent people.edit on 1/30/2011 by ANOK because: typo

I hear FOOTPRINT FOOTPRINT all day long on these forums, but what you fail to realize is that you are saying literally "If a collapsing building falls anywhere near itself then it was demolitions." I point this out because EVERY ONE OF THE BUILDINGS landed outside their respective footprints, damaging other buildings. Yes, even WTC 7. But when I point this out, guess what I hear: "But even planned demolitions wouldn't protect the surrounding buildings completely. Debris has to fall outside the footprint."
THEN HOW IS THAT FALLING IN THE FOOTPRINT IF IT FELL OUTSIDE THE FOOTPRINT!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes, though, a building is surrounded by structures that must be preserved. In this case, the blasters proceed with a true implosion, demolishing the building so that it collapses straight down into its own footprint (the total area at the base of the building). This feat requires such skill that only a handful of demolition companies in the world will attempt it.
Blasters approach each project a little differently, but the basic idea is to think of the building as a collection of separate towers. The blasters set the explosives so that each "tower" falls toward the center of the building, in roughly the same way that they would set the explosives to topple a single structure to the side. When the explosives are detonated in the right order, the toppling towers crash against each other, and all of the rubble collects at the center of the building. Another option is to detonate the columns at the center of the building before the other columns so that the building's sides fall inward.
It really fills me with notions that humans cannot think logically whenever I visit these forums.

What your photo fails to show is that the building was 47 stories tall and fell into the debris pile that you see just on the upper-left edge of the picture. This is significant if you consider the way the building collapsed. The un-damaged side of the building collected in the footprint while a large portion of the building fell South.

"You still need an ignition source, whether it is a detonator or a chemical catalyst. So, again, for the WTC to have been demolished by your super-duper thermite, you would either need a detonator OR a few dozen people willing to die hanging out in the inner core of the WTC to use a catalyst.Wait.....scratch that....a few hundred or so people for three buildings."
You know, I see your point.
Mr. Newton . So the apple hit you in the head and you tell me it was gravity. Tell me, what was the trigger for gravity? If you can't explain that, I guess that lump on your head didn't happen.

No it didn't, that is a complete fallacy.
You can see ALL four outer walls on top of the debris pile. If what you say is true then AT LEAST the west facing wall would be under the debris pile, and outside of the footprint.
The video that sparked this claim is actually showing the outer east wall falling inwards after the buildings center has collapsed. It does NOT show the WHOLE building, let alone the building leaning to the west.
Pay attention to details, that pic shows everything, pics don't lie people do.

I guess it's a damn good thing that READING COMPREHENSION skills are not a prerequisite for posting on this site
As for the firemen , not one single one of them obtained a sample of the alleged "molten steel"
I NEVER , NOT ONCE , said , or implied , that it was the firefighters responsibilities to gather samples . NEVER

You are in denial and remind me of a guy fascinated by crop circles, the Abominable Snowman, and ET's among us.
Advanced military grade nano thermite in the 911 dust is unimpeachable.
End of story, the jig is up.
YOU DID, IN FACT, SAY OR IMPLY that it was the firefighters responsibility.
You know as well as I do that you were saying exactly what I said you were.
