Here's a good example of your trustworthy, honest, do-no-harm media: In fact they're so trustworthy that they can accurately predict the future! Astounding! It's not like they were being handed scripts because media is controlled and BBC played their part on 9/11, nah, they got lucky!
Then why is it reasonable for a truther to demand the same? Why is the hypocrisy so heavy in the truth movement... Truthers question EVERY SINGLE word the MSM says.. Except if they slip and make an error, that fits the truthers delusion.. THEN and only then are the MSM really telling the truth.. Its pathetic at this point..
Dude why are you even posting things like this? "No amount of proof"....what proof? What proof have you contributed to this thread? Exactly which of the 13 points in the OP have you debunked? Can you provide me with this "proof" that I must have missed when I wasn't reading your anti-truth posts close enough?
I just realized I am arguing a losing argument.. NO amount of proof could change your mind.. And to date all I have seen from the truth movement... is just that a big pile of "movement"
I won't miss you, you didn't address the OP in any of your posts so I encourage you to stop posting your off-topic anti-truth garbage without actually bringing any of this proof to the table that you claim I'm ignoring.
I quit.. It is not worth it.. I am going to ignore all delusions from this point on.. have a nice day, and thanks for the realization.
Do you agree that the collapse of those buildings, especially WTC 7, have many characteristics that match up with a controlled demolition?
Please stay on topic, because 9/11 threads always go in another direction, and sure enough 2 pages into the discussion people are talking about Lloyd England or something that's not even addressed the OP.
Yep, maybe they didn't test them because they didn't have enough money, or didn't see that as important. Or who knows, maybe they did in fact test them but the results showed that fire cannot make them fail so they omitted that test. Maybe they even knew that the core failed because of thermite rather than steel and chose to not investigate it.
So the answer is "no," they did not test the hat trusses. That means that the falling antenna could have been failure of the trusses and not the core.
As to your rhetorical questions and mini-rant; I don't know why they did not test the hat trusses. Maybe it is a hat truss coverup conspiracy or maybe the engineers thought that testing the trusses was not important.

Here are some polls that will refresh your inaccurate view of how many people doubt the official story:
blah blah blah
[color=limegreen]Important--everyone read this: When I said "stay on topic" in the OP, I didn't mean on the topic of 9/11 in general, I meant on the topic of the 13 points explained in the OP. Don't take the discussion in a completely different direction that isn't even mentioned in the OP. Quoted from the OP:

maybe i ll start a serious thread over some weeks, when i hopefully have more time for investigation and re-membering, so, i keep it short:
1- misinformation/communication around the exercises in the morning: most military were convinced the hijacks were part of the exercises...even a lack of movement after the WTC attacks
2- no scramble fighters launched, and if, they went in a wrong direction, or left from an airfield not close by
3- several versions of the flight manifests, final version took years
4- no real video proof of Pentagon impact: frames cut out, tapes of security cameras in Pentagon area taken by FBI....the released tape of the gas station contains also weird anomalies
5- all the people involved in the cleanup of WTC, after : the air is safe to breath, no danger
6- it was very long denied the black boxes were found
7- flight 93: shot down, yes or no?
8- fake phone calls from flight (? dunno the right number)
9- 19 hijackers: 7 were alive and kickin'....corrected meanwhile?
10- other intelligence agencies knew of the attacks, weeks and longer in advance
11- no footage of Pentagon cams of impact
12- it seems Pentagon has also a defense system: why didn't it react?
13- firefighters weren't allowed to enter WTC 7 to fight the fires
just of top of my head without looking online
edit on 3/8/11 by bing0 because: typo
The FAA and other air traffic control centers alerted NEADS (the Northeast Air Defense Sector, a part of NORAD) of the four hijackings, though with little or no advance notice for NEADS or NORAD to mount a response.
After that NORAD still does not scramble the planes. Here is a quote by Major General Larry Arnold during his 9/11 Commission Testimony, explaining what happens next.
...hijacking is a law enforcement issue as is everything that takes off from within the United States. And only law enforcement can request assistance from the military, which they did, in this particular case. The route, if you follow the book, is that they go to the duty officer of the national military command center, who in turn makes an inquiry to NORAD for the availability of fighters, who then gets permission from someone representing the Sec. of Defense. Once that's approved, then we scramble aircraft.
They had a maximum 9 minutes advanced notice of the first jacking of American Airlines Flight 11
They were notified about United Airlines Flight 175 at 9:03 AM, the same time that it crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center
They had four minutes advance notice of American Airlines Flight 77
They were notified about United Airlines Flight 93 at 10:07 AM, after it had already crashed.
Truthers, while NOT trusting the Govt. seem to believe that our military and Norad are some kind of super human agency that has the US airspace on "lock down"
Even after 9/11 things are still slow, in January 2002 Charles Bishop took off in a Cessna without his instructor, flying dangerously low over a military airbase, and the time intercept would have been about 55 minutes if the plane wouldn't have crashed[12]. Even with beefed up intercept procedures after 9/11, planes only 10 minutes from Washington, the time to scramble was 18 minutes, and the intercept several minutes later.
On September 23, 2001 the BBC and the Daily Telegraph reported that some of the hijackers were actually alive and well. They reported they had found Waleed al-Shehri, who reportedly was living in Casablanca, Morocco. Reported also was that Abdulaziz al-Omari, Saeed Al-Ghamdi, and Khalid al-Midhar, three other hijackers, were still also living in the middle east.
All of the reports have since been acknowledged as cases of mistaken identity by the publications involved. The problem may have arisen because the FBI names were common Arabic and Islamic names. Another possible way confusion could have arise is because many of the hijackers varied the spelling of their names, for example Hani Saleh Hanjour, also used "Hani Hanjoor", "Hani Saleh", "Hami Hanjoor"

But one last thing, you forgot to answer this question that was in the post you responded to:

Building 7 is the smoking gun, it wasn't hit by a plane but it fell, blah blah blah
Boyle: There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered throughout there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably about a third of it, right in the middle of it. And so after Visconti came down and said nobody goes in 7, we said all right, we’ll head back to the command post. We lost touch with him. I never saw him again that day.

Their ego's could not handle the blow that realization would cause.
The time invested, the fury they put into their posts... They would have to change friends, apologize to friends and relatives, change their ATS names... You see, they have far to much invested at this point..
It would be tantamount to trying to climb back up the water of a waterfall, after the decent.

YOWZA, an official story believer actually addressing the OP in an on-topic manner? Is there some kind of mistake here? I must be dreaming....
You made this statement in your OP.. Can you please clarify for me:
This backs up a controlled demolition because if it were a gravity driven collapse, chunks of steel weighing thousands of pounds would not be ejected horizontally hundreds of feet at up to 70mph. Very powerful explosives on the other hand could do this.
"The horizontal ejection of extremely massive steel beams, and the completely pulverization of concrete further backs up a controlled demolition: "
Can you explain in detail how a controlled demolition would explain the pulverized concrete. Better yet, can you explain how a controlled demolition would have ANY affect of the concrete.
So while the famed nanothermite is incapable of turning concrete into dust, a more powerful explosive such as RDX (detonation velocity of 8750 m/s) or HDX (detonation velocity of 9100m/s) could have done the destruction.
Dwain Deets, the former Chief of Research Engineering and Director for Aeronautical Projects at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, wrote to Mark and told him that he had listened to our interview on “The Real Deal” and said: “Excellent interview. A step toward trimming back claims that overshoot the evidence.” He also sent a diagram illustrating certain detonation velocities as well as the sonic (speed of sound) velocities in various materials. [color=limegreen]Thus, for a high explosive to significantly fragment a material, its detonation velocity has to be greater than the speed of sound in that material, which requires a detonation velocity of at least 3,200 m/s to fragment concrete and 6,100 m/s to fragment steel–far beyond 895 m/s for nanothermite.
Funny, but a transvestite is a grossly (figuratively and literally) inaccurate comparison. Sure, a tranny may have implants and a wig, but the tranny doesn't have every single characteristic that a woman does.
A tranny has a lot of the same characteristics as a woman, but isn't. What do you think your question will accomplish?
It's not nearly as oversimplified as you make it out to be: "Oh, it fell down. Controlled demolitions make buildings fall down. Big deal."
Buildings falling - yes they share that trait.
No, I don't expect you to imagine crazy scenarios, I expect you to look at the characteristics that the collapse of WTC 7 and controlled demolitions share, and consider the damage that the building sustained and use your mushy thinking thing inside of your skull.
Did you expect me to use my imagination and just start assuming things?
OK, the building was damaged, can you point out where I said it wasn't damaged? I'm not saying there wasn't any falling debris/fire damage. What I am saying is the damage that the building sustained is incapable of producing a symmetrical free-fall implosion, however explosives can produce those things.
From a firefighter that was on his way to building 7 when he was instructed to fall back
Boyle: There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered throughout there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably about a third of it, right in the middle of it. And so after Visconti came down and said nobody goes in 7, we said all right, we’ll head back to the command post. We lost touch with him. I never saw him again that day
At the heart of the structure was a vertical steel and concrete core, housing lift shafts and stairwells. Steel beams radiate outwards and connect with steel uprights, forming the building's outer wall.
Yes the Oxford quote is wrong NO CONCRETE no drawing shows it and NO PHOTOGRAPH during construction shows it.
Provided links to the gypsum plank details and the story of the people in the lift sheetrock round the steel as fire protection.
The sheetrock was blown of section round the core into the stairwells if you check links on net!
Also a little tip Your SORRY Jims video fakery thread had be closed ( and rightly so) because of his WACKO no plane ideas!!
