However, I am not really sure what the "truthers" intend to achieve. If those who defend the "official story" understand basic physics they already know it is impossible. If not, why should they trust some random physicist over NIST? Since those who understand physics already know that the collapse was impossible exclusively from the causes listed, it is obvious the scientists at NIST were deliberately lying. All those who could actually be trusted by the public to be experts and express the impossibility of the events have refused to do so. What makes you think the integrity of the "debunkers" is any higher than the experts at NIST?
Even if the "truth" movement succeeded in persuading the majority American public about the impossibility of the official version of the events, what difference does it make to what they can do? Can all the "truthers" agree on an exact sequence of events, individuals involved with evidence to back it up that can be proven beyond all reasonable doubt in a court of law, that you can actually convince some public officials to take action the against accused? No , they cannot. So all the "truth" movement can achieve is what version of events people believe. It is actually very convenient for Americans to believe the official version of events, because it gives them a license to go around murdering and plundering Muslims to gain what all Americans know they are desperately dependent on, oil. So why would Americans to choose to believe a version that has no practical implications for what they do over one which is beneficial to them?edit on 23-7-2011 by Observor because: Filled a missing word

you (and a few others) like to ignore what you can't debunk, right?

Pardon? Even, if "we, truthers" can talk louder, helping others to open their eyes and mind, so they would finally start to think for themself and stop being a sheep in the overcrowded mass, we won't archieve something?
Imagine that foreign governments dare to speak loud about the misleading official version, i would applaud the pressure against the US and whoever behind this scheme.
Facts are facts, what happened can't be undone, but does that mean we should let it go?
Who are you, ffs? Crawl back in your cave!
What I don't understand about half-brain debunkers, is where does there logic come from when reasoning how all the steel beams(all) snapped? And how all the concrete was pulverized.
You think fire and weight did all that? And please don't say, " you forgot the plane impact". How does a plane, any plane, affect the structure. The plane weights 116 tons. The tower is about 400,000 tons. How could you believe your own crap.
Seriously where does your logic/physics come from?

5 inch mild steel beams are impossible to bend.
I called you a troll for other reasons which I expained in several posts, not because I struggle to answer some questions.
Odd that you call me a troll. It happens a lot here when people struggle to answer questions posed, I notice.
I don't know and I don't care, it's not about what you think, it's about what you know. Where are these interviews of the firefighters that explain signs of an imminent collapse? Because I'm having a hard time finding any. Here's an interview with a New York Fire Department Lieutenant:
Obviously I'm sure you consider your expertise more advanced than theirs. But leaving that aside for a moment, do you think it plausible that they would lie?
That's far from verifying signs of imminent collapse.
We had heard reports that the building was unstable, and that eventually it would need to come down on it's own or would be taken down. I would imagine it came down on it's own.
Your novice math is for NOVICES ...You sir are a complete moron. Let's use your number 315,000 pounds which equals 150 tons. Do you how much one WTC tower weights? 500,000 tons.
Plane(one):315 tons(with 11,500 gallons of jet fuel)
Tower(one):500,000 tons(of mild steel and concrete)
No math here bird brain just look at those numbers. Look at them real good and tell me how the f*** the plane/with fuel can cause total destruction on a massive tower.

Yes, I agree, compartmentalization of information is generally used on covert operations
Proof please. Just how many covert operations have you been a part of?
Yes, and as demonstrated in the video I posted, WTC7 fell in less than free fall time in air due to the implosion creating a vacuum.
Uhhh explosives creating a vacuum? That’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one. Besides gravity doesn’t care about the air in that circumstance.
You have no knowledge of physics or covert anything.
The term building implosion can be misleading to laymen: the technique is not a true implosion phenomenon. A true implosion usually involves a difference between internal (lower) and external (higher) pressure, or inward and outward forces, that is so large that the structure collapses inward into itself.

Mild steel melts at 2730 degrees F.... Fire from jet fuel and all the other crap that can burn in an office , will never get to even 2000 degrees. It just can't. There is no video either to prove that. So don't send me some video of a guy trying to burn a single beam of steel.
Why would even think of rhetorically asking such a stupid question about the SUN melting mild steel. Your not very smart are you.
Believe what the government tells. Its your life . Enjoy your fantasy.
In the popular imagination, the jet fuel was the biggest factor in bringing down the towers. News reports emphasized that the transcontinental flights were fully loaded with fuel, while later government reports stated that the 767s were carrying about 10,000 of their 24,000-gallon capacity, and that most of the jet fuel likely burned off within five minutes. Thus, the jet fuel primarily served to ignite the post-crash fires rather than sustain them.
