I'd like to comment on the subject of the implausibility/impossibility of the buildings being primed beforehand and going undetected. I think this is actually the weakest argument against the controlled demolition theory and one that can be easily overcome.
I used to work as an ICT systems architect and network provider, we used to design and setup fibre/cable networks for different companies. This would often involve a team of people entering a large building housing multiple offices and getting access to some of the most forgotten parts of the building. Under floors, Over Ceilings, basements, crawl spaces, behind walls, false partitions etc..you name it we laid cables there! This would often happen at weekends or evenings when people weren't working, even though some other offices and different companies in the same building might still be getting on with their own business.
Very rarely were we bothered by anyone or asked any questions. It was scheduled work, we came in, did it and went home. We could have been doing anything, including setting explosives!
My point is that I can see no reason why this couldn't have been achieved or setup under the cover of any number of remodelling/cabling/maintenance tasks. I can't think of a single multi purpose building we've ever worked on that didn't have outside contractors in to do some form of behind the scenes work.
If you haven't already seen the latest evidence provided by Architectsand Engineers for 911 Truth it really is worth watching:

I can state that we were able to do our work unhindered, with very few, if any, people taking any notice of us or asking for explanations of what we were doing.
My only point is that a team of people turning up at a building with vans, tools and trolley loads of equipment, removing walls, floors, ceilings, drilling and hammering etc.. was a regular occurrence that didn't raise suspicions of other workers or security.
I believe we could have been carrying out any (insert chosen conspiracy here: bomb priming, structure identification etc..) type of work and been successful .
Sometimes in the case of larger projects, we would revisit a building several times and be in and out over a period of weeks or months.

Well, invariably we were brought in by one particular company to do a specific job for example, install network infrastructure and cabling for 350 staff. We'd work with that company to design it and then enter the building to carry it out. We'd turn up in a team with our vans, cable reels, tools etc.., generally out of hours, be let in by security, taken to the basement or wherever it was we needed to start and we'd be given an access card to get wherever we needed. We'd finish up, hand the card back, and that was that. I can't remember us ever being questioned about what we were doing and we were certainly never shadowed or followed by building security.
We never specifically dealt with the building owners, only the individual businesses so the assumption is that they cleared the planned work with the building owner's before paying us to continue.
I'm not for one minute suggesting any of this is evidence of a controlled demolition or any other alternative theory.

Here you go; plenty of dust from this cd :-

Unlike the Towers this is a real cd as is obvious from the patterned detonation of charges and flashes.
Btw the Towers didn't fall at free-fall speed, check it out.

So you think. But like you said - someone involved in the building, be it a tennant or owner - invited you. They knew you were coming before you got there. Have you ever started working in the wrong building? I doubt it, but it would be roughly similar.
Absolutely correct. This would need to be done covertly but by a legitimate (or at least appearing to be outwardly legitimate) business with a legitimate reason for being there, an IT Company laying cabling, Safety inspectors checking asbestos etc..

Believe? You're betting your life on it. Also, don't forget that two of the buildings in question, the Towers, were the subject of a terrorist bombing attack just 8 years before. I don't think people fooled around in that building without anyone noticing.
Getting into that position and being allowed access to the building, or specific areas within it, are the only barriers. Once you're in and working you're effectively free to do your job whatever that may be. Like I said earlier, I've done hundreds of jobs in numerous buildings and never had anybody (security or otherwise) monitor our work or what we were doing. Whether that would be the case in WTC or not is another question, but I've done structural work and cabling in important buildings such as the Gherkin building in London without interference or monitoring. I stand by the fact that if you're invited to do work in a building and abide by whatever security protocol the building has you will be allowed to work unmonitored.

You say you didn't raise suspicions, but you can't know that. People may have asked questions, just not directly to you.
Very true, people may well have been suspicious without alerting us. However our progress or finished work has never been investigated or tampered with. This leads me to believe that if we were doing anything other than just laying miles of Cat5 (perhaps setting in place bio agents, detonation charges etc..) that would also have not been investigated or tampered with and will remain in place until it was needed.
I am very familiar with construction and demolition. There are too many things that can go wrong very, very easily with this kind of mission, and since we're talking about murder here the risk and potential exposure would be way too high.
I have no doubt there are untold things that can go wrong but getting into a building legitimately and having a genuine reason for tampering with the fabric of the building are, to my eyes at least, the largest of the obstacles.

a) Your own examples actually show that the WTC collapses were *not* controlled demolitions. The examples of legitimate CD you provide show that the collapse begins at the base of the building, while every video of the collapse of WTC 1 and 2 show the collapse began at the upper areas, at the precise location where the planes impacted the structures. Logically, we need to conclude the plane impacts caused a chain reaction that started the collapse in some way. If there are those who want to debate the precise reason they caused the collapse, fine, but at the end of the day it was still the impacts that caused the collapse in some way. Claiming that controlled demolitions were secretly planted in a heavily occupied building at such a weird place without anyone noticing and faked hijacked planes were crashed into the precise location where the controlled demolitions were planted is just Rube Goldberg logic of adding layers of unnecessary convolusion for convolusion's sake
b) It isn't your gut that's telling you there was a controlled demolitions. It's those damned fool conspiracy web sites deliberately instigating abject paranoia that telling you it was a controlled demolitions. Case in point- Take a look at your video again showing the collapse of WTC 7, and then look at the raw video of the collapse as it looked before they got their hands on it:
NIST video of the collapse of WTC 7
Notice any difference? The Penthouse collapsed into the interior of WTC 7 six seconds before the rest of the building collapsed, and you can see from the broken windows how far down it fell. Those damned fool conspiracy web sites can't explain how controlled demolitions would blow up a building from the inside out with a six second delay so they simply snip that part of the video off to artificially get you to believe the sexy sounding explanations they want you to believe. Changing the evidence around to suit their purpose is LYING, regardless of whatever pretty word they want to use to describe this behavior.
I don't know about you, but to me, when someone needs to resort to lying to convince people of something, it's a de facto admission they know what they're saying is false.edit on 14-6-2011 by GoodOlDave because: (no reason given)
