To be quite honest, the color content and vantage points are such that it seems obvious that those were two separate photographers. The guy would have had to have jogged to the left to get where the picture is taken on the later photo, and the quality difference is huge, so I can't see how you can claim both were by the same guy.

And thus you'd rather ignore numerous witness' testimonies based on your denial and ignorance? Just because they weren't caught on video makes the witness testimony moot? How many murderers have been convicted on witness testimony with no murder weapon produced?
Some of the huge booms were recorded in "9/11 Eyewitness" from 2 miles away with firefighter testimony corroborating the video:

There's nothing "unique" about a fire-induced collapse.

Either it will show signs of being a fire-induced collapse, or it won't.

And the evidence shows that WTC did not exhibit the characteristics of a fire-induced collapse.

I'm starting to question the claims of you even being a firefighter with your lack of knowledge of firefighting.

Was somebody pumping pure oxygen into the fires? Then the fires didn't come close to max temperature.

Is that so? Then tell everyone why controlled demolition companies don't use fire to bring steel-structured buildings down
Originally posted by _BoneZ_
.Or even call a controlled demolition company and ask them why they don't use fire and listen to them tell you how impossible it is.
Originally posted by _BoneZ_
Yes, there will be a localized, partial collapse in the fire zone. No, absolutely not will there be a full and complete collapse to the ground of any steel-structured highrise, ever.

Every trained firefighter will know this most basic information.

Unless certain firefighters are not properly trained and only volunteers on some small-town department.

It's not a problem. That boom that was heard in the basement destroyed a machine shop, parking garage, a 300-pound fire door, and heavily damaged the lobby. This sounds more like a problem you can't resolve as you have to admit explosives did the heavy damage seen in the basement levels and the lobby.

So, you are again calling these trained and experienced firefighters liars? Go tell them they don't know what they're talking about. I want to hear their response.

I distinctly remember from multipile documentaries that every once in a while falling debris and especially falling people would create enourmously loud bangs once they hit the pavement.
Yeah, but not recordable from 2 miles away.
Originally posted by Max1009
That the booms aren't documented on video makes it all very sceptical though, you have to admit,
Not true. Most of the cameras used likely could not record the frequency of the booms. Not to mention that almost every video from close-up has had the sound drowned out by loud city noise and the loud roar of the buildings collapsing.
Are you seriously willing to discount numerous first responders, by-standers, and survivors that heard the timed/synchronous booms, all because you can't hear it in the videos? Really?
There are a whole lot of people in prison for crimes that were based in good part by witness testimony, all without even needing a murder weapon or even in some cases, a body.

Also, planting controlled demolitions in the WTC sufficient to bring the entire building down, would have taken many months.
Yes, or more slowly over a several-year period.
Uhhh....BoneZ? You do realise that explosives have a finite useful life-span? A best-before date if you will? So how many years are you positing such a patient wire-up would take to do the entirety of both buildings?

Not just horizontally. The core columns were connected horizontally, vertically, and in some places diagonally. The cores were fortresses and nearly indestructible.

So, a bullet weighs just 1/8960th of a person, and it will kill you. I wonder, how could something so small kill us? I mean, we outweigh the bullet MANY times over. But yet, I don't think you wanna stand in front of one, do you?
Completely illogical statement.
Does a bullet, which weighs 1/8960th of a person cause all the bones in the body to break and basically cremate so the body falls down into a lard ball?
Or does a bullet cause extreme interior damage to organs, muscles, etc and cause blood loss which in turn creates death?
Or it hits the heart or brain and the failure of either one of those cause death?
Try again.
It's an analogy. Way to miss the point though!

Yep, now, do the math for the kinetic energy involved in the impact, and do the math for the heat energy released by the fuel, and then the heat energy for the resulting fires.
Hell, a bullet weighs about .25 ounces. Most people weigh about 140 lbs. Which translates to 2240 ounces.

Do you have any inkling as to why your 'analogy' is wildly off the mark? Are you actually suggesting that a human body and the WTCs bear any kind of structural or internal comparisons? You do realise that the WTCs were essentially hollow just as human bodies aren't? Is this as good as 'truther' arguments get?

FFS even when bolts fail they they make noise never mind structural steel sections!!!!!!!!
And FFS, you're not going to hear bolts fail or structural steel sections failing at 2 miles away. Laugh at that.

You tell us where it went then, that large chunk that has fallen so far to the side, it vanished into dust as it fell, as did the rest of the towers, incredibly just literally vaporized.

Excellent point. And it's measured with a clock, not a calender.
Also in response to international agreements, Semtex has a detection taggant added to produce a distinctive vapor signature to aid detection. First, ethylene glycol dinitrate was used, later switched to 2,3-dinitro-2,3-dimethylbutane (3,4-dinitrohexane, DMDNB) or p-mononitrotoluene, which is used currently. According to the manufacturer, the taggant agent was voluntarily being added by 1991, years before the protocol signed became compulsory.[4] Batches of Semtex made before 1990, however, are untagged, though it is not known whether there are still major stocks of such old batches of Semtex. The shelf life of Semtex was reduced from 10 years before the 1990s to five years now. Explosia states that there is no compulsory tagging allowing reliable post-detonation detection of a certain plastic explosive (such as incorporating a unique metallic code into the mass of the explosive), so Semtex is not tagged in this way.[7]

Another person with a lack of knowledge re photography lets see DO you have a link to the original pics?
Will be on later off to earn some money.
By the way WHAT yellow bin?

i think, by the colour similarities of clear sky, and the man with the white shirt and brown shorts, in both pictures, that it is very likely that both photographs were taken from the same camera. this would mean that the photographer would have had to have run 20-30? yards to his left (judging by the new relative positioning of the man with white shirt) in 1-3? seconds (judging by the distance the top of the spire has fallen and the dust dispersal and coverage). please explain why the man with the white shirt and brown shorts has a huge wedge missing from the side of his head (zoom required) and the building opposite is seen through this gap. also please explain the impossible positioning of the same mans right hand behind his head in picture1 (zoom required), with his thumb above his fingers, when it should and could only be below.
p.s. i mistook the yellow boat on the river for a large yellow trashbin.

The person taking the pictures, if it is the same one, wouldnt have had to run anywhere.
From the location of the guy in the picture to the lamp post, the yellow barge in the river and difference in cars...along with the vantage point of the buildings....it is clear that some of the objects in the picture were super imposed.
Why is it that no one can see this?
It sticks out like a bear in a church to me.

You trusters are the first to point out any analogy that isn't directly comparable.
This analogy fails in every way.
Shame on you..you know better, but still stoop to such levels.
I guess that happens when running out of arguments.

I don't see how any person in a sane state of mind could have starred that, but anyhow, what did you expect to happen to a large chunk of building falling and hitting the ground?
