Read the thread.
The story stays the same.

He is also just one of many. But you know that.
Like I've said before, just once I'd like to see one of you weak OSers answer a couple of the dozen questions I've laid on you.
All you gus do is post tripe in an obvious effort to put as much fluff on the thread as possible so the readers will miss the important posts. You can't prove a lie...the more you try, the more you help my case.

Also, again, the plane didn't hit quite dead center. Sure, it hit perpendicular (and now I am on the same page. I do apologize about not knowing which tower you were talking about), but it was not level with the ground. It was tilted. That means that since parts of the floors would have the trusses and the concrete, those parts would offer a 'bit' more resistance, wouldn't you imagine? I mean, I haven't fully analyzed the picture, but it would not surprise me if the floors were where the least damage to the exterior was.
-----Stop this BS and show me on the NIST damage report how that corner was damaged when their own report shows no damage there, and no damage to the North side at all. Will someone please admit this? Anyone with any courage out there?-----
Like I said, I actually haven't read the NIST report. That kind of time is the time I feel like I don't have to waste between my job, my schooling, and my attempts to get a girlfriend. Yes, according to the picture you have there, NIST did not include damage to the North side. I would imagine that perhaps they were focusing on the damage caused just by the structural impact of the plane. I'm not certain on that point though. Don't go crazy.
Oxford University in 1992 published this on the WTC concrete coresMore reasons to believe there were concrete cores. Anyone curious about the concrete cores of the WTC will like this site. It contains after destruction photos and much more. algoxy.com...
Modern Skyscrapers such as the World Trade Center, New York, have steel and concrete hull-and-core structures. The central core, a reinforced concrete tower, contains lift shafts, staircases, and vertical ducts. From this core the concrete and steel composite floors span on to a steel perimeter structures: a lightweight aluminum and glass curtain wall encloses the building.algoxy.com...
Still, Robertson, whose firm is responsible for three of the six tallest buildings in the world, feels a sense of pride that the massive towers, supported by a steel-tube exoskeleton and a reinforced concrete core, held up as well as they did—managing to stand for over an hour despite direct hits from two massive commercial jetliners.www.ncsea.com...
It was designed as a tube building that included a perimeter moment-resisting frame consisting of steel columns spaced on 39-inch centers. The load carrying system was designed so that the steel facade would resist lateral and gravity forces and the interior concrete core would carry only gravity loads.Blythe Reasons to doubt a plane: The damage does not support a wing slicing from the center-out. It shows damage to the columns on the left side, not the right; this indicates an outside-in damage pattern. A missile can explain the damage much better than a plane as the pictures show.

You have not attempted to explain how a jet can cause this damage. You prefer to make me explain my theory again. I have done this ad nausea and I for one would like some reciprocity. [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/badcb96f8e3e.jpg[/atsimg] So-called scientific papers have been given by the OS faithful in an attempt to prove that an aluminum wing tip can slice through laterally reinforced structural steel columns. I have shown how these papers are simply propaganda wrapped in trigonometry, but you chose to avoid that discussion. You avoid the simplest of questions: www.abovetopsecret.com...
At the heart of the structure was a vertical steel and concrete core, housing lift shafts and stairwells. Steel beams radiate outwards and connect with steel uprights, forming the building's outer wall.
The main structural part of the wing is the spar – a continuous beam that extends from one tip of the wing to the other. For modeling purposes, we assumed that the mass of the wings (excluding engine) was approximately 21300kg wing M . This mass does not include the mass of the fuel in the wing tanks. Assuming that this mass is now uniformly distributed over the whole wing span and the wing is modeled as a thin-walled square section cross section ...the equivalent thickness becomes 34.5mm.Faked video and photographs. When given the opportunity to prove your case using the photographs themselves, so the readers can see for themselves, you resort to a weak blanket dismissal and offer no explanation using your own words seasoned with your "thirty years' photography experience. It appears a team of photographers was deployed to document the event, and over the years the Intelligence services release their photos to the public as propaganda. Here is a link which breaks down the perspective of each known photographer: the last 12 seconds Here are examples of Tina Cart, Wolfgang Staehl and Robert Clark's work: [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/b943cb957974.jpg[/atsimg] killtown.blogspot.com... Here is a thorough discussion of the video manipulation and how it was implemented on live TV (it's not that hard): letsrollforums.com... Since you resorted to mocking my sources instead of showing how their information was wrong, I provided my own work to expose how the Naudet film released in 2002, contained Courchesne footage released in 2004 (as far as we know): Naudet from 2002: [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/e95727ff4c99.jpg[/atsimg] Courchesne from 2004: [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/5b2566aa6c27.jpg[/atsimg] www.abovetopsecret.com... This leaves the "Planers" with what? Faked video and false eyewitnesses like FDNY343. In light of the fact that to believe a jet existed you need to ignore all the above, why haven't you reconsidered your position?
So the wing mass, most of which is between the engine and the fuselage has now been equally distributed to the whole wing. All of the material used for support is now used to create a 34.5 mm thick wing-shaped box of aluminum for the sake of their model. Is this an accurate and fair representation to begin this test with?edit on 26-3-2011 by Yankee451 because: (no reason given)

Do you seriously believe that anyone would murder the best part of 3000 people for an insurance payout ?

I think the fire department in Charleston SC might disagree with you. And every other fire department in the world for that matter.

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 *[they must be lying, just set fire to 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 *[Penthouse kink].

Clutching at straws with that then are you not its the vapour that ignites not the liquid and the plane has seperate tanks or DID you not know that.

Yes. I do.
Do we want to research the history of the tenants of WTC 7? Because I am prepared...do we also want to assume that people won't rationalize each other for money (hint-history is filled with it)...
Sorry...I call shenanigans and I have looked all over...find me a way that WTC 7 collapsed in the same way as the twin towers without being hit by a plant...they all fell the same way with different circumstances...

There was no fire on WTC 7 that rivaled the twin towers...yet they all fell the same...screw the fire department's opinion in this case...though hail the sacrifice of their brothers...

You should know by now it's not necessarily that the building collapsed but the way it collapsed, even though no it should not have collapsed from several hours of fire.
Originally posted by ANOK
The only way you can make a building fall mostly in its own footprint is implosion demolition.
Originally posted by ANOK
No building, no matter how long it is on fire, can fall into its own footprint from fire alone.
Originally posted by ANOK
The outer walls can not end up on top of the rest of the collapsed building from a natural collapse. It takes a special process known as implosion demolition.
Originally posted by ANOK
Why do you keep ignoring the facts to wallow in fantasy? How can you keep ignoring the facts that the collapse of WTC 7 fell exactly as an implosion demolition is designed to do?
Originally posted by ANOK
Please think about what the chances are of that happening from fire alone, seriously.

Cut and paste from conspiracy sites like
algoxy.com...
And some whack job environmental letter
Are not PROOF !!
I don't know where the other guy got his information, but is clearly wrong. Must have assumed something
Suggest try reading "CITY IN THE SKY: The Raise and Fall of the World Trade Center" by two New York Times
writers who reference the actual plans for the building . Chapter 5 . Has illustrations showing design details
so dont have to read....
Not some poorly informed conspiracy fruit cakes with an agenda....
Then try to tell me again how building had concrete core......
