WTF I've never said that the government faked phone calls, and I haven't seen a single person ever say that on this website. That's a pretty big generalization, assuming that all "truthers" subscribe to that theory.
It is really amazing that in all the calls made to the loved ones and 911 calls, they acknowledge that planes hit the towers. But then again "Truthers" say the government made those calls. It is really incredible that government people who did not personally know the families of the victims could sound like the person.
That is incredible disrespect for "Truthers" against the families. And another "Truther" conspiracy is that no Jewish people were in the towers, however many Jewish families lost loved ones in the towers. Shimmy Biegeleisen was just one....so I suppose he did not get that memo.....
Your non-stop generalizations make me want to vomit.
The "Truthers" have shown little regard to the victim's families, the victims and the integrity of the messages they made when they called their loved ones at home.
Sure, why wouldn't it be? Has anybody here said anything to the contrary? Has a single post in this thread revolved around the phone calls to the families of victims?
To hear 911 calls from someone in the building say "We were hit by a plane, I love you" is extremely emotional and profound.
So does everybody else including myself.....so why did you waste your time typing up this emotional rant?
They knew it was planes.
Another huge generalization on your part. You assume that everybody believes the craziest theory that you can think of, when in reality I don't believe that and I also haven't seen anybody suggest that on this website.
So I want to know, did they see the "hologram images"? Did they watch tv while the building was burning around them? People jumping from the floors above, were they watching the "fake digital images"?
There are many firemen testimonies that go against the official story too. But sure, go ahead and pull they "gave their lives" card to try and guilt trip us into believing what you're saying.
But of course, it is easier to diminish a human life when you don't care to hear to hear the messages of these people. You don't want to accept the testimony of firemen who gave their lives.
Saw what happen, the videos of the planes hitting? Because I'm sure every single person on this website has seen those dozens of times. I'm not denying that planes hit, I don't know where you are getting these wild assumptions from but keep up the good work.
You don't want to accept the many witnesses who saw it happen.
WOW are you serious dude? This emotional appeal isn't going to gain you any ground, everybody knows that it was a terrible tragedy, 3,000 people died. Just because some people looked at the facts and evidence and came to a different opinion than you doesn't mean that we hate their families. We don't get together and egg their families while cussing at them, protest funerals or whatever. You need to chill out with that attitude of yours.
You don't want to accept the simple little words "I love you" spoken by the victims as they tell their loved ones that their building was hit by a plane and they are trapped and about to die.
How is it any of those things? Disrespectful how, because we're not blindly accepting everything our government tells us? Shame on us for not taking the word of politicians and people who gained so much from 9/11! We need to man up, and show some respect to the group of government officials who investigated the 9/11 attacks, because if there's anybody to trust when it comes to erasing any doubts that our government was involved, it's our own government. We are so disrespectful because we don't have the exact same opinions as you, jeez.
The "Truther" movement is disrespectful, hateful, and not at all truthful.
I'm saying they're all providing data, graphs, calculations, and evidence to back up what they're saying, and a lot of it is some really complex stuff that I don't understand. It's not a matter of reckognizing truth as much as not understanding the engineering and mathematical jargin and concepts that they're casually tossing around in 40 pages of discussion for each thread.
So what you're saying is that you have no idea how to determine who is correct?
You're saying that you don't understand the arguments about how the sampling rate/graph provided is unsuitable to provide accurate answers to whether or not jolts are actually in the raw data?
Ok then, if you're not able to make this determination, then you are unable to recognize when you read any truth. You will only agree with what is written when it agrees with your delusion of CD.
Yeah I'm heading over to drywall college in the fall so I'll get back to you on that.
Yep, there was a lot of drywall in the towers. You should educate yourself about it.
...Or maybe I didn't see that?
From that same forum: "What is causing the ejections of the debris" Once again, truthers that don't want to make a mockery of their online persona realize some truth of the matter.
You should have quoted that, we don't want people thinking you're a lot smarter than you are now do we? You also should have posted some of the other 5 pages of that ongoing discussion in which many people disagree with him and explain why.
What else do you think is causing the dust and debris ejecta ?
Please don't say floor-by-floor explosives all the way down the tower, it's just silly.
The ejecta is not fast enough. Simple as that. Forget audio. Forget installation. Forget all the AE911T gibberish. The pulverised concrete ejecta is not going fast enough.
If you want to simplify your viewpoint, consider one floor impacting the one below...
The nominal progression rate is around 27m/s, so one floor takes about 0.15s to go from static, through a 12ft drop and impact the one below.
During that 0.15s, ~206*206*10=424360 cubic feet of air is displaced.
If we use a rough estimate of the window apertures as being 103*4*8=3296 square feet, then we're looking at a flow rate in the region of...
424360/3296/0.15 = 858 cubic feet of air escaping per second, per square foot.
Any fairly small scale debris is going to be ejected pretty easily with anything even roughly near that kind of flow rate.
I was referring to the bottom section of the towers. Why would I mention the difference in the top section of the towers to illustrate how the top section falls differently for each tower?
By this bit of self debunking lunacy:
The top section of the south tower fell at a different angle than the north tower.
A rational person would recognize that pointing out the south tower tilting during the collapse as being different from the north tower's collapse...... as proof that they weren't identical collapses.

How about this, I agree that accounting only floor connections failing is an over idealized model if you agree that a force larger than provided by the lower structure pre-collapse was required.
How do you know this is suspect?
Did you have an education in structural engineering?
I don't find that very interesting, you can easily explain that by the tilting.
As for 7, clear signs of internal collapse were visible.
It's not representative at all.
Therefore your analogy fails and is suitable only for laughing at.
My analogy was not trying to represent the collapse, merely explaining the difference between freefall acceleration, less than freefall acceleration, and decelerration.
So in my analogy, my reference brake pressure is zero.
Now... if YOU want to create an analogy that recreates the collapse, feel free. I could use a good laugh.
An increasing mass at a constant velocity gains momentum.

I've asked this question so many times over the years, whenever it gets brought up... and I never get a definitive answer. For some reason, it's an easy claim that some people make, but they fail to provide any accurate information about it.
How much jet fuel was flooding which particular elevator shafts?
You made the claim, so be specific now, WarminIndy. No handwaving or sidestepping - just answer the question.

in Tower 2, it was elevator shaft B. all the way down to the 40th floor.
The entire amount that was not initially lost in the first explosion. Would you like the link again for the video of the firemen stating there was jet fuel in the elevator shafts? And if you crashed your car tonight and it burst into flames, would witnesses be able to say how many gallons of gas was in your car? Let's see, it was filled with fuel before take-off at an airport only 8 miles away...gee, perhaps 15,000 plus gallons?

I am addressing the "Truther" aspect from every juncture they claim is false.
When you asked for physics, you were given physics. When you asked for architecture, you were given architecture. When you asked for an understanding of forces on the building, you discounted it by saying "That is impossible, because the way I think is....".
So to prove my point again...this time without linking to the evidence already shown to you....
Big plane flying 200 mph
15,000 plus gallons of fuel
Building collapses because the force of gravity pulls it down.
What more is there to understand?

We understand that you are really good at demonstrating that you don't know what you are talking about.
The plane that hit the north tower was doing 440 mph.
The plane that hit the south tower was doing 550 mph.
Where did you get 200 mph from?
It was about 10,000 gallons of fuel in each plane weighing 34 tons? Where did you get 15,000 gallons.
What does BIG PLANE mean? Compared to lots of other planes they were big. Compared to the towers, not so much. Buildings don't have to fly so they have the edge in DENSITY.
The planes were about 150 tons total, including fuel. The buildings were over 400,000+ tons. That should be just the structural steel and concrete but there is still argument about the concrete. Since we don't know the tons of steel and tons of concrete on every level arguing about the physics is problematic. Anybody claiming the physics is solved is either STUPID or a LIAR.
Considering that you cannot even get the speed of the planes in the ballpark your credibility is questionable.

Speak for yourself buddy, I have never heard that before, so no, we haven't "all heard" that claim. Please find a quote from this thread where somebody mentions the lack of Jews in the towers. Better yet, find a quote from this entire website where somebody makes that claim. Stop generalizing too, it makes you look stupid.
We have all heard the "truthers" claim that no Jews were in the building
Again, just like I said in my previous response, nobody in this thread has said that. In fact, I have never seen a single person mention FBI making personal phone calls imitating victims until you brought it up in this thread.
we have heard that the FBI made the personal phone calls imitating victims.
"Yes, I'd like some Physics please", "One Physics coming right up"
When you asked for physics, you were given physics.
"Could I please get some architecture to go with that?" "Sure, we've got an order of Physics with a side of architecture, will that be all?"
When you asked for architecture, you were given architecture.
If you want to talk about human testimony, I would be more than happy to provide you with human testimony that contradicts the official story and backs up us crazy truthers perspective.
When you ascribe to the "Truther" philosophy by ignoring evidence that is not only scientific, but human testimony, the first thing you do is jump back on the thought "The government did it, because....." When you have immersed yourself into the "Truther" movement, then you accept every part of the theories tossed out there.
If that's the case, here's a buttload of people that you can trust: Patriots Question 9/11:
For those of us who have seen the truth, heard the truth and accept the truth, it is black and white for us. We trust physics, construction, and architecture.
My next thread will contain that as well as many other things, once it's finished I'll be more than happy to "put up or shut up".
You keep ascribing to the theory of bombs. Well put up or shut up is all I can say. Prove there were bombs.
Where are you getting these insane ideas from? I have never seen a singe person mention the theory that the plane parts were indeed bomb casings.
Prove the plane parts around the buildings were just bomb casings. You are the one saying it, so prove it.
But you didn't give us a chance to respond.
That's right, you can't because it is not true.
Um........no, but good try.
Just accept the planes hit the buildings and exploded, compromising the steel framework that held the buildings up.
That's where you're wrong. I base my opinion off of the facts, evidence, and experimentation, most of which is provided by people who are much more experienced and knowledgeable in those fields than me. Many professionals have reached different conclusions than what the official story pushes.
The same can be said of every issue regarding the events of 9/11 - including the physics questions bandied about. And not just for you. Every truther is in the same boat. And yet they make declarations about this and that as if they understand things better than the professionals that investigated the collapses, and thise that did their own independent studies.
I may also have opinions too, don't forget that opinions aren't limited to controlled demolitions experts, architects, engineers, and so on.
Now you're beginning to see that you're not as well versed as you need to be to make proclamations about how the towers were CD'ed.
You may have questions, and that's fine. But truthers also need to recognize that they're out of their depth when answers are provided that disagree with their position on 9/11.
.....OK, so I guess I will post this again since you either didn't understand what I was saying or didn't read it:
Ah, then you've already had the answer, from someone else - cuz they were of virtually identical construction.

So what you're saying is....even though I underestimated the speed...a faster plane would cause more damage?
And the amount of fuel came from the design specs of Boeing 767, which is almost 16,000 gallons. I posted that link last night. The plane took off after fueling at Newark, only 8 miles away from Manhattan. It was bound for San Francisco.
So I will accept 400 miles per hour. That seems right.

In fact, I have worked with people who have produced documentaries, Disney Films, the Family Channel and movies produced in Europe.
"Truthers" with no video experience at all suddenly started saying the videos were digitally altered so it made it "look" like planes hit, while "bombs" were exploding. What I will say now is that is bull crap.
