He gave the order to the board, the board gave the order to their subsidiary's managament, the subsidiary's management gave orders to the supervisors, the supervisors gave orders to the security guards, the security guards allowed the evil gov't ninjas into the building, etc etc etc, involving hundeds of people in this supposedly "secret" conspiracy of yours.
No, actually, I believe in conspiracy fact.

This is an excellent point, how could so many people be involved? It might not have taken 100's to know exactly what was going on when wiring the building, but a lot of people would have been involved and some would have at least had some questions about it. Then again 1000's may have been in on it for the overall project. So how could so many be in on it? This is one part that many people have a problem with in trying to understand.

there's all these NIST studies, FEMA studies, MIT studies, Purdue studies, etc. IN ADDITION to etc etc there the fact that we showed our evidence proving it was a terrorist attack to our NATO allies, and after comparing it with what their own intelligence services were reporting, they found it legitimate enough to invoke article 5 for the first time in it's existence. And so on and so forth.
There'd have to be a HECK of a lot more than thousands to pull off this crazy sounding conspiracy.

So why can't you find a diagram of the layout of the horizontal beams in the core of either tower? Why don't we have a good explanation of how the top of the north tower could destroy everything below? That cannot be done without the distribution of steel and concrete.

So what are you saying, that because we don't know what happened to every nut, bolt, and door hinge during the physical progression of the collapse it necessarily must mean there's a conspiracy? I shouldn't need to point out that the conspiracy mongors are every bit as equally negligent in explaining how these controlled demolitions would have brought down the towers.
How about doing some computer modelling to show proof of concept? If NIST could do it then you can do it.

If you put fear into people you can get them to do anything you want.
That's a load of crap. In fact, a fear and panic infected population is a study in the unpredictable and the least likely to follow direction.

There had to be around 1500 feet of horizontal steel beams on every level which we don't have data on and you want to compare that to bolts and door hinges. That is why this crap drags on and on and on. People talking bullsh#.

Well then something certainly stinks in the state of ATS because I was specifically told by one of your fellow conspiracy mongors here that each floor had the capability of supporting four times its own weight, and I have no reason to refute it. Take four floors, pile them on top of each other, and that's how much weight each floor could hold, and because every floor was held in air by horizontal support braces running from the internal core to the outer perimeter, it means every floor has the exact same load bearing capacity as every other floor. The first floor beneath the impact area was hit with the weight of some FIFTEEN floors (the section of building above the impact area) which is beyond its load bearing capacity regardless of how you look at it.
Your needing to know whether each floor happened to be 20 tons, fifteen tons, or whatever, isn't research- it's grasping at straws in desperation becuase you know you can't find even a microbe of tangible evidence of any conspiracy so you have to resort to calculating out trivial details like what the precise tonnage of each floor is to find this conspiracy you're "so sure" has to be there somewhere. When I say that you people WANT these conspiracy stories of yours to be true, how are you showing me to be incorrect, exactly?

Then there is the CORE with vertical columns connected by horizontal beams. When I say LEVEL I mean the everything within a 12 foot height including one floor assembly and the perimeter columns. When I say FLOOR I am talking about the 206 foot square floor slab outside the core and the pans and trusses.
I do not know or CARE how you associate me with people you call conspiracy mongers or how much you confuse or exaggerate what we say.
Every LEVEL of every skyscraper must support all of the weight of all of the LEVELS above it. What a FLOOR can hold is a separate issue. That is the LIVE LOAD but the LEVELS below must hold the live load also.
If you don't distinguish FLOOR and LEVELS either accidentally or deliberately that is your problem. But for the north tower 15 LEVELS came down and the core came down on the core. I have no reason to think that the 15 FLOORS became separated from the core. So you explain how the core was destroyed.

Because when that first floor collapsed, it hit the floor below it. That floor was supported by a horizontal brace attached to a vertical column, so when the horizontal brace was pushed down from the impact, the vertical column it was connected to was yanked sideways by its connection point. The vertical column bent, lost its structural integrity, and the upper section of the building it was formally holding up collapsed and did the rest. Like this example they preserved and stored in that hanger at JFK:

You can call me dishonest, you can call me stupid, or you can even accuse me of kicking pregnant dogs, as I really don't care in the least. The only thing I want to hear from you is how the [censored] these imaginary "secret thermite bombs" of yours caused this type of damage, 'cause I can definitely tell you how this type of damage was caused by the immense force from gigantic amounts of wreckage crashing down onto it.

You have no evidence whatsoever about what the columns in the core did. You are just talking. That picture does not tell us where that steel came from in the building whether it was a column or a horizontal beam from the core. You keep saying "floor" but I don't know if you are talking about the slab outside of the core or not. There were slabs in the core outside of the elevators but they were not supported by trusses like the outer core. So since I cannot tell what you are talking about there is no point in my responding to you.
I have never said anything about thermite any bombs so you are just associating me with you delusion of "conspiracy mongers".

You're waffling. I never mentioned anything about anything made of concrete. I'm talking about the vertical columns like you asked me to, and I specifically showed you a section of vertical support column preserved from the WTC so it's idiotic to claim "I have no evidence whatsoever".
This is about resolving a grade school physics problem. The longer it takes to get resolved the more stupid the people that can't figure it out will look.
DUH, do skyscrapers have to hold themselves up? So how did the steel have to be distributed? So where is accurate data from official sources on the distributions of steel and concrete.

No wait, you said you already solved the problem and reached your conclusions so what do you need the data for? The issue, as far as you are concerned, is closed. No more data required. Closed subject.
