First off they don't use 87 octane in semi's they use diesel. Second there is nothing underneath the bridge to make it stop falling so yeah i can believe that. But when there is a whole 70 story building that is undamaged structurally, underneath a 40 storiy one.....where is that 40 storys going to go?? Not through solid matter, and not at free fall speed.edit on 25-6-2011 by godfather420 because: (no reason given)

Truthers claim to do their own research, but then post Youtube clips and cut and paste jobs. Do some research into the overpass collapses, they're very easy to find using Google.
So many claims in this thread that have been debunked to death.
1 Pyroclastic clouds, clearly there was no volcanic activity, so stop using the term, it makes you look dense.
2 Pull it being a demolition term, again, not a term used in the industry.
3 No pieces of wreckage bigger than a phonebook, when there clearly were.
4 Building collapsed on it's own footprint, again, this is not true, for any of the buildings.
I'm all for the truth, but when something is debunked you need to stop using it. Loose Change proves nothing, it only asks questions, and poor examples of questions at that. It's why it on like it's fourth cut, it gives you a fuzzy scenario then implies evildoing.
To be honest it's genious filmmaking, it makes the viewer think he/she is somehow smart for asking a question that has been already answered by the largest single investigation into a criminal act in mans history.
I work in medicine and have a very strong science background. And one of the first things you learn is that things are not always what they seem. And just because one thing seems odd to you it doesn't mean it impossible. They found all kinds of wreckage that defied common sense, like the passport. But just because it's unlikely it isn't automatically faked.
Just for kicks I took my old passport just now and tried to burn it with my lighter. The inner pages that get stamped will light, but not easily, and the outer cover and photo page are damn near indestructable.

They were tanker trucks full of pump gas and diesel, and the overpasses were designed to hold a lot more weight than an office building, even though the construction of the supports is similar with both structures.
But if burning pump gas can bring down a huge section of overpass, burning Jet fuel can bring down a building.
And there are plenty of support structures that keep the overpasses from falling, that;'s why they rarely do.
Is that seriously your arguement?

Hehe, good point!
They found some passports, you're right they sure did. Hey, by the way, What about those black boxes, I believe they're larger than a passport and just a tad more difficult to burn. Were those recovered? Nope!
Remember your brain is a parachute, in order for it to work you must open it!

Dude shut up, planes don't bring down buildings. It's as clear as that. You could have flown 50 planes into them and they still wouldn't have come down like they did. explosives were definitely needed.
His argument is sound, your rebuttal defies physics. So if you're that intelligent. Don't bother talking.

Pull it is a term used by demolition crews and means to demolish the building using explosives.
And the buildings (plural) both collapsed on it's footprint just like building 7. surrounding dust and debris doesn't mean it didn't. I'm sure you can clearly see the building drops exactly vertical at free fall speeds. Unless you were watching something else that day.

Again, I challenge you to show me even one controlled demolition specialist who uses that term. Not some out of work plumber who knows a guy.
They have conventions you know, every year. 3 years ago it was in Vegas, and this "pull it" topic came up, when they stopped laughing they continued the meeting.
And your definition of footprint is obviously different from a professionals, because the after math looks nothing like a controlled demolition, it looks like a mess.

Your false disinfo isn't going to work with me. That's why I am telling you how it is.
As you asked for how do I know. Well my uncle is in demolition, his son as well which is my cousin. I'm sure I know what I am talking about. That's why it's about me telling you.
Also there are more specialists around that back me up. they would eat you up on your argument and would love to have a chat to you.
ae911truth.org
But hey I bet you would be able to debate against 1000s of specialists right?
Also my mate Kevin....
Kevin
We all know what happened that day, you don't, but claim you do.
You're not even an expert.
I don't need you to tell me false information. I am so confident in my position on this. You're the one clutching at straws.
I'll do that just as soon as you show me an example of jet fuel which burns at 287.5 °C melting steel which has a melting point of 1510 °C.
Just show me an example where a demo was over a thousand degrees. hell, how about one where it stayed that temperature for days after?
Interesting, because using a stopwatch I got right at 10 seconds.
To which I watched, timed, and discovered it did indeed take longer.
To which pictures show it was not perfectly symmetrical. And to which temperatures of 1000+ degrees have yet to be proven.
Which one? The temperatures? That I don't even believe, not until I see some real raw data.
Well if you read the OP you would understand the significance. From the OP:
I've yet to be told what the presence of these debris, or their lack there of, matters. The debris are pretty consistent with accidents like Colombia. The two involve a fast-going plane hitting a sudden change in density. The recovered artifacts and wreckage are similar in consistency.
Despite the discussions about military assistance, no-one from FAA headquarters requested military assistance regarding Flight 93, nor did any manager at FAA headquarters pass any of the information it had on Flight 93 to the military
We received a report from the FAA that Flight 93 had turned off it's transponder, had turned, and now was heading towards Washington DC. The decision was made to try to go in and intercept Flight 93...It was about 10:03 that the fighters reported that Flight 93 had crashed.
The words that I remember as clear as day was 'We will take lives in the air to preserve lives on the ground'...United Airlines Flight 93 will not be allowed to reach Washington DC
I am astounded that your common sense tells you that two different media outlets predicting WTC7s collapse several minutes before the collapse with no indication other than a few fires and an evacuation is a simple mix up.
Won't deny its possible, but it is not common sense to think that. Common sense cannot derive an answer. There are to many variables. Silverstein's claims, the news claims, and the firefighter claims could also, equally possible, allow for the news to have simply picked up the report a fire chief told Silverstien. There is no data to go either way. Claiming it is evidence of a conspiracy is subjective, just as much as claiming it evidence of a technical mix up with a fire chief. It's speculation, and therefore not proof. Common sense can only tell that there was a mix up, but there is no way to factually derive it as definite proof of a conspiracy or a mix up. Considering the number of technical failures of the day, it is more logical to conclude it was a mix up, however, this is just an educated guess.
No. Not quite high, there is absolutely no chance that two media outlets independent of each other seperately predicted the collapse of WTC7 before it actually collapsed with only an evacuation and some fires as clues. The "technical difficulties" which conveniently cut off the interview over WTC7s collapse that had WTC7 in the background is a dead giveaway of prior knowledge.
Quite high if their source was a fire chief reporting that they were abandoning the building.
You and your straws dude...
Actually many buildings suffered dramatic damage, and many were demoed in the weeks and years after the incident. There were not only 3 buildings lost. The 3 buildings with the most damage collapsed, which is perfectly understandable. The other buildings, ranging from high to low damage, each met their end fate according to their condition. Those with unrecoverable damage were torn down, those with high damage were slowly taken down over a number of years, those with mild damage were repaired, and those with little damage were cleaned up. This is a perfectly logical account of the total damages. You are playing straws by making it look like only 3 buildings were destroyed by the incident, which is not true.
You are wrong, 6 out of the 47 floors were on fire. Since you clearly didn't watch the video in the OP or read the summary either out of laziness or refusal to consider an alternative perspective, I'll find the video for you:
I am talking about WTC7, which was entirely in flames. WTC towers we've already been through. Architecture deals with joints. The design style, much like a mosquito net, dealt with minimalism. One floor cannot hold the mass of 6 floors.
What I can extract from such data is this. I don't know if they prepared the towers to resist the impact, or the fires. I don't know if they prepared the building for the fuel at take off, or less for some time at flight. What I do know is this. People can be wrong, and the statements of the designers is not enough for me to believe it was fit to resist that. I cannot judge therefore. And therefore don't have an opinion.
99% undeniable conclusive evidence....
txs for that, had a good laugh
I'll do that just as soon as you show me an example of jet fuel which burns at 287.5 °C melting steel which has a melting point of 1510 °C.
Interesting, because using a stopwatch I got right at 10 seconds.
I was referring to the passport which supposedly fell out of one of the hi-jackers pockets amidts the fiery explosion in the main towers and managed to be picked up by a pedestrian on the ground. But the molten metal down there was real and denying its existence despite the many witness testimonies and thermal images is beyond ignorant.
Debris from the Shanksville site was found 3-4 miles away from the impact site. The hundreds of investigators there found no debris larger than a phonebook.
Although there was no debris larger than a phonebook at the site...
the FBI provided a myriad of evidence during the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui which survived that catastrophic plane crash in good condition: A red bandana, a kingdom of Saudi Arabia drivers lisence, John Talignani's drivers lisence, and flight attendant CeeCee Lyles driver's lisence and Mariot hotel card. So a 757 obliterated itself upon impact leaving no body parts, but paper and fabric survived the crash intact.
--The FBI and state police closed off a second area 6-8 miles away from the crash site, which was another debris site from this plane.
The 9/11 commission...
states that the military was not informed of Flight 93 until 10:07, which was a few minutes after it crashed. However US Navy vet Barry Lichty believes otherwise, because his power went out and he says that it sounded like a missile went by his house, and he claims that it was coming from the direction of the crash, and it was not the aircraft that crashed. Despite the government and military's previous claims that they were unaware of United Flight 93 until afterit crashed and received no information from the FAA pertaining to Flight 93, a year later their story changed and they claimed that Flight 93 was indeed being tracked and that they were aware of it, which is a complete contradition of their earlier statements.

You and your straws dude... "3 buildings with the most damage collapsed" -- You could not be any more wrong: WTC 3
You are wrong, 6 out of the 47 floors were on fire. Since you clearly didn't watch the video in the OP or read the summary either out of laziness or refusal to consider an alternative perspective, I'll find the video for you: 2:13 - 2:45
Then we just need to and agree to disagree at this point.

There have been 2 in the last 10 years, one in Michigan and one in California.
In both cases tankers full of pump gas burned hot enough to collapse overpasses.
No wood furniture, no plastic, no paper, no carpet, no chemicals, just 87 octane pump gas, an no jet fuel.
It got hot enough in the towers to weaken steel, period.
