Yeah that along with the non-symmetrical position of the jets lead me to believe they're not a part of a controlled demolition.
But notice, with explosives, its just a puff, and thats it. Its not a constant stream of air blowing out with more and more speed.

I was too thinking that it looked suspicious long long long time ago, but after further review and study, those "squibs" are nothing more than just jets of pressurized air directly from the collapse.
That is air escaping. Air will take the path of least resistance, it will not go down, and through doors, and elevator shafts looking for a window to pop out of. For pressure build up you need an air tight space. The air pressure would simply blow out the sides along with the floors and the outer mesh you see being ejected, not go down past other floors. Clap your hands together, where does the air go? Through your hands, or out the sides where the path of least resistance is?

Really? Air takes paths? Do you think the air that was being moved from the upper levels tried to cut a path through the air on the lower levels? Pressurize a system and it will find the weakest point in the envelope.

Also we know that floors were not staying as solid slabs when they impacted, they were being crushed and ejected, evidenced by the lack of floors in the footprint post collapse.
It's time you dropped this nonsense because it just proves you know nothing about physics. Damn, you don't even have to know physics to know you're wrong, just common sense.

Two weeks after 9/11, engineers Pablo Lopez and Andrew Pontecorvo are walking in the B2 basement level at the ruins of the World Trade Center, towards where the North Tower stood. They discover a “solid, rocklike mass where the basement levels of the tower had been,” and see “the recognizable traces of twenty floors, very much like geologic strata revealed by a road cut, compressed into a ten-foot vertical span. In one place, the steel decks of half a dozen floors protruded like tattered wallpaper, so close together that they were almost touching where they were bent downward at the edge. Nothing between the decks was recognizable except as a rocky, rusty mishmash. In a few places what might have been carbonized, compressed stacks of paper stuck out edgewise like graphite deposits.” As New York Times reporters James Glanz and Eric Lipton describe, Lopez and Pontecorvo have found “where the vanished floors [of the tower] had gone. They had not just fallen straight down. The forces had been so great and the floors so light that they had simply folded up like deflated balloons.”

At some later time, ironworker Danny Doyle, who is also working at Ground Zero, finds that floors of the South Tower have been compressed into a formation like what happened with the North Tower’s. He discovers “a distinct mound of debris set into the pile, about six feet high, with strands of wire and pieces of rebar sticking out. It looked like layers of sediment that had turned into rock and been lifted up on some mountainside.… Here were ten stories of the South Tower, compacted into an area of about six feet.”

Look, I'm not about to get into a long debate over a stupid claim.
If the sides of the building are falling away, then it is opening the floors to open air. If there is dust pouring out of the building as it collapses that is air escaping.
The air has no reason to search a more indirect path. It would not choose one window to escape from.
Give it up, no one is buying this crap.
This is 5 or 6 floors bellow the collapse wave, how did the air get compressed that far down the building?

Besides the fact that is all nonsense as usual, the same "arguments" count if the jet was from an explosive, its not like an explosive blast is going to blow up just one window. A simple explanation by the way is that a solid object hit the window, breaking it. Once it was broken the pressure decreased and other windows did not break.
Or maybe the conspirators placed a huge fan behind one of the windows in order to confuse us all.

What I said was, you are lying if you claim that floors did not pancake, as there is ample proof of it happening by numerous workers on site as well as during the collapse.
And despite being shown countless times that you are wrong, you insist on claiming otherwise. So again, either you are woefully misinformed of the events, or you are lying. Which is it? Floors collapsed, floors landed on top of each other. They were not ejected outside the footprint.
Also I dont recall anyone, including you, asking me why I claim you are lying. I asked you if the workers on site cleaning up the mess are lying about the compressed stacks of floors they discovered.

What evidence? There is NO evidence for pancake collapse, you are the liar. Why do you think NIST rejected the pancake collapse hypothesis? No, it was not a pancake collapse initiation, because there is no such thing.
You, or anyone else, has not shown anything that contradicts my claims. Have you not noticed your claims get ripped to shreds every time? Talk about delusional.
Then you must have missed these posts (just like you seem to miss the posts ripping your claims to shreds)...

I think we all know who the real liars are...
So I am to assume you have no explanation for the jets of air? Just what I thought.

Gee, I dont know, the video I posted of the workers that cut into the pile and discovered that there were up to 14 floors compressed into a stack of 8 feet? Or the accounts of workers cutting in and finding 10 floors in a stack only 6 feet high? What do you call that ANOK? Talk about ignorance. You are shown plenty of evidence and ignore it. What the hell do you call stacks of floors compressed together in the basement?
Once again you fail to understand what FEMA said about pancake collapse initiation, and what NIST said about collapse initiation.
NIST’s findings do not support the “pancake theory” of collapse, which is premised on a progressive failure of the floor systems in the WTC towers (the composite floor system—that connected the core columns and the perimeter columns—consisted of a grid of steel “trusses” integrated with a concrete slab; see diagram below). Instead, the NIST investigation showed conclusively that the failure of the inwardly bowed perimeter columns initiated collapse and that the occurrence of this inward bowing required the sagging floors to remain connected to the columns and pull the columns inwards. Thus, the floors did not fail progressively to cause a pancaking phenomenon.
Why dont I see floor trusses being ejected ANOK?
Already been said. Many times. I'm not going to retype everything that was said for the past week just because you are too lazy to do it yourself. Its been explained. Just because you can't seem to comprehend or understand it, it is not my problem. I just find it sad you ignore everything that does not fit your fantasy.

And the problem is you think a pancake collapse can have the energy to do that. You are still ignoring that the majority of the mass was ejected out of the footprint. So what crushed those 14 floors?
Did you even watch your own video? They said the pile was not as big as they expected. So I'm not the only one saying this, the people that were there said this. Again this is you try to spin something to support your argument when it doesn't.
No, you are twisting and spinning what NIST said, I understand it perfectly. You have to read and understand what they are saying here, the wording makes it easy to be confused as the meaning of pancake collapse, and their initiation hypothesis.

Pancake collapse is not a collapse initiation, something has to fail for a pancake collapse to ensue, so no they are not rejecting it as the collapse initiation. Using clever wording they are trying to hide the fact that they didn't cover the actual collapse, only the initiation, without actually admitting it.
Of course their collapse initiation hypothesis is extremely flawed also. Common sense should tell you that when a steel beam is sagging it can not also pull on something. The steel sags because it is soft, if it could pull in the columns it wouldn't sag in the first place, it would have just pulled in the columns.
Why don't you see them in the footprint of the building then? Why did FEMA release a graphic of the 360d arc of the rubble pile? The rubble in the footprint of the towers was no higher than the lobby level, that means the majority of the mass was ejected outwards during the collapse, regardless of what you can, or can not see.
Maybe it was all turned to dust, and pieces too small to even recognize? All that concrete and steel had to have been destroyed during the collapse after all.
LOL I rebutted you claims, you're supposed to explain the holes I pointed out in your hypotheses, and you come back with a rant. That is typical of you when you know you're losing the debate. Don't lose yer rag man.
Oh, and yes I guess I confused you with Joey, my mistake, but lets be honest, you all say the same thing anyway, and if you haven't said it you have insinuated it.
In a head-on collision the forces on the two vehicles are constrained to be the same by Newton's third law. But from both Newton's second law and the work-energy principle it becomes evident that it is safer to be in the bigger truck.

No matter what it displays an obvious lack of scientific curiosity. For whatever reason. The most amazing thing about 9/11 is how the top of the south tower tilted 22+ degrees in a couple of second 50 minutes after the building stopped vibrating from the plane impact. That required the bottom of the upper broken portion to move horizontally 20 feet and yet the plane impact only moved the building 15 inches.
