Hiding behind words like 'truth" "troll" "physics" "mentally challenged" without actually refuting my specific points isn't helping you and nh_ee's cases much. This is funny lol

I AM SO AMAZED! Good work! You just came out with the EXACT same baloney the establishment used to fuel the War on Terror from day one!
One big sarcastic "Bravo!"
So now, irony aside, could you please explain us why one of the strongly-structured high-altitude skyscrapers on the planet could just collapse, at near-freefall speed, just because of the falling weight of approx. 1/10th of its structure, after less than an hour of fires? You're not good enough in physics to answer this, I suppose...
If the WTC would have been made entirely of wood, it still would have taken hours for the same result to happen! So here we had a strucre made of (1) a complex grid of huge, fire-treated steel beam as the external frame, and (2) an internal core consisting of a column of the same metal all crossed and reinforced with armed concrete. These buildings were able to support something like 2-3 times their entire weight!
The only thing that could bring'em down, is a substantial damage inside and especially at the BASE of the structure, so it would be "pulled" from below, in the same tested-and-true principle of implosion.
When the core support gets broken, what happens? The weight gets to be violently transferred to the support walls, and you only need the help of high-powered explosives spread all across the structure, at the right increments, to trigger the final collapse. A collapse of the upper section of the buildings will also help, making a "banana split" effect..
According to all interviews and videos from witnesses (including the fireworkers) this is exactly what happened! A big boom form the basement was heard a few minutes prior to the collapse, and then a series of booms were heard all-across the building.
SkepticAndbeliever, you're good for the "Tin-Foil Hat" section of ATS! Please come back when you have more constructive things than INSULTS to intelligence, like this one, for us.
But I'm afraid I might have lost my energy and time writing a reply to a troll.

What, you think the elite who constructed the most elaborate conspiracy in the history of humanity let some fire fighters in on it? OF COURSE THEY KNEW the building was going to fall, all the witnesses knew because of the damage done to the building. Jesus some things never get through to to people.

Take it for what it's worth.....or take a course in elementary Physics...that will only tell you the exact same thing as I had condensed into a few paragraphs ...
It's Your choice to Deny Ignorance or not.
Physics are a proven science and explain the world around us.
It's called the Truth.
All you are doing is hiding behind words like "truth" and "physics" without actually tackling any of my points head on. You talk about ignorance, but at least most people who disagree with me take the time to have an intelligent debate on the subjects at hand.
What would you consider evidence of explosives being used that day? Explosive sounds? Squibs? Tremors felt from explosives? How about eyewitness reports of explosive sounds squibs and tremors? Or perhaps video and audio of same?
because there was no evidence of explosives being used that day
This is pure speculation on your part. The fact is that explosive demolitions do fail and otherwise have problems even when properly planed. As far as 14 seconds not being ANYWHERE near close to free fall speeds I think you're wrong. 9.3 seconds is the amount of time it takes an object to fall the distance of the height of the towers without resistance. Air is resistance which contributes to terminal velocity. Steel and concrete are also resistance. The time it took these two towers to fall is so close to free fall speeds that it is scary in my opinion.
The towers didn't fall ANYWHERE near close to free fall speed, the the core is still left standing in the South Tower , backing up a pancake collapse (explosives would have taken the core completely out)

I am not hiding at all. But will only waste so much time holding a so called "intelligent debate" with someone who obviously hasn't any real understanding of the physical science as to why structures stand upright in the first place.
It's like yelling at someone foreign to make them understand better but to whom doesn't understand english in the first place.
Go back to school and gain some knowledge on the subject as to why buildings stand upright ....and then we can then hold an "intelligent" debate.
But at the moment "your points" are baseless and are at best based upon conjecture and not upon any proven science.
Without any proof it's simply heresay and more talk than much of anything else of substance.
How much are they paying you 911 anti-Truther guys anyway ?

As I said there is something fishy is going on in the ATS lately. This natural fall theory(nonsense) is kept alive while the very valid, alarming and interesting threads are deleted (404ed, disappeared into the thin air).
Folks, ATS has become a disinfo forum. It has become the Conspiracy propaganda site against the conspiracy theories.
One of the MODs has already admitted that he/she is paid by the government, without his/her bosses knowing about it.
Pretty sickening chain of event, considering the faith people have on ATS so far. Stay away from it. Do not post.
Just watch what it is doing, like this kind of crap post by the OP.
Remember all the dust (pulverized concrete) and debris that obscured the view of the collapsing buildings? This stuff was falling at free fall speeds with the resistance from air slowing it down yet it is still in the way of viewing the building. I simply do not see how a progressive collapse can happen at this rate. It defies logic in my opinion.
however you are wrong about 4.6 seconds not being that much time when we are discussing free fall, because the dust/debri (actually falling at free fall) hit the ground 4.6 seconds before the rest of the tower collapsed, showing at least some resistance

Explain Bldg 7. That is the start, middle and end of the debate. If that ONE building can be explained by natural forces and occurrence through the events of that morning, then all the theories fall apart. If however, it cannot be explained as a cause/effect of two planes hitting Bldg 1 and 2, then it's all a load of crap. It's really that simple and that cut and dry.
So..... Explain Bldg 7.

The towers fell at around 64% of free fall acceleration. 64% is a lot closer to 50% than it is to 100%. So if you want put it near something you should say: the buildings collapsed at nearly one half free fall speed.

The metal frame is able to hole 3 times its weight. The top of the building being removed from the support wouldn't be enough weight to collapse the rest of the structure that wasn't effected by the heat from the fires.
