911 The facts and the proof only.

reply to post by -PLB-

I don't mind it either way, I don't have an agenda. I just asked you for proof because that is what this thread is about. But it turns out you only have assumptions. The reason by the way I don't think they went all the way up is because of videos I have seen and because the fact the structure got weaker higher up. But my opinion isn't really relevant either. You are making the claims in a thread about "facts and proof". Not me.

My accusation as ironworker is the proof.

If you ever experience CPS ? It's the same principle.

Well 'weaker' is not a good way of looking at it, lighter and smaller because it wasn't needed, and necessary for the structure to be able to hold itself up and not collapse from gravity, is more accurate. 'Weakness' is a relative term. Every level had to hold the weight of the levels above it, so the higher you go the less steel was needed to hold the mass above it. The structure was as strong as it needed to be in every section of it. Your use of the term 'weaker' indicates a deficiency of some kind, which is of course not the case at all.

This is why the core columns tapered in size, and why the collapse would have had to overcome the resistance of an increasing mass to collapse in a 'pancake' fashion. Think of a pyramid for an extreme example, they can not collapse straight down as the mass increases in the downwards direction, just as the towers core structure did.

So my old question stands, how did the towers core columns collapse down through in increasing mass, an increasing path of most resistance?

Wait.....maybe I can add this tidbit, My lifelong best friend of 40 years plus had this to say.
His immediate family owned one of the biggest welding shops here in this part of Ontario.
They did a lot of truss welding and yes they did a lot of small stuff too.
Anyways I showed him the videos of the buildings coming down and he did not comment on it one
way or the other.
At least not right away, I gave him links to many sites and ATS included, and then after about a month I got a email from him.
He told me that was impossible to happen like it did, I believe him and you can't tell me otherwise.
He is still welding and at this time he welds high pressure propane tanks for semis.
But like I said earlier that he has welded I-beams for the heavy industry here in Sarnia Ontario.

If that is true and accurate, then you'll have no problem showing me an example of some kind of collapse, be it from an earthquake, or fire induced, that exhibits isolated ejections like these:

See, we know that those isolated ejections are part of controlled demolitions because I included a controlled demolition in the collage. Now, it's your turn to provide a building collapse that is not a controlled demolition (or the WTC), that exhibits these isolated ejections.

I've repeatedly asked you to back up your claims, and you as of this post, have done nothing but type text onto your screen. If these isolated ejections are "to be expected", then it stands to reason they can be commonly found in other collapse videos that are not controlled demolition.

I await your proof. If you cannot provide proof, then your credibility will be lowered to zero, and the discussion on this particular point will end here.

So basically your proof is an argument from authority. It is fact because you say so. For me that does not count as proof or fact. If this is the type of proof or facts your are looking for you will find loads of proof and facts, many contradicting with each other.

The fallacy you are making is called a hasty generalization. It is not proof, and hardly evidence. I have yet to state any fact so I don't need to come with any evidence or proof. Why don't you prove that those jets can't possibly happen without the use of explosives?

So my old question stands, how did the towers collapse down through in increasing mass, an increasing path of most resistance?

And the answer is ding ding ding :

The columns that were built, for absolute resistance, of the "near' freefall pancake collapse that is clearly seen.
Were compromised to give way to the semetrics of the fall of all three buildings that we see on Sept 11th.

I have to many friends that are also ironworkers, infact I know of no ironworker from apprentice to journeymen
who hasn't said the same thing. Getting them to say it, on a forum as I have done here, is another thing altogether. It scares the hell out of a lot them. By my consensus of this profession, there isn't an ironworker alive who belives the OS. And they all believe what I have stated as my proof.

PLB
For those who don't want to accept what I say by myself as an ironworker. How about what they all say ?
Would that be good enough ? Nope. because nothing ever will be.

So, you agree that the OS is full of holes?

Unfortunately we are left to try and fill those holes and sometimes theories can be a little off kilter.

However, I would like a proper examination of what actually went down that day. When I say proper I mean totally indepedent of Government influence, but hey what would happen to the Western world if it does transpire that the U.S Government were complicit?

All those wars, all those deaths, all that money. It isn't going to happen and I know it, you know it, geez, we all know it.

I was talking in second person so I was not agreeing to anything. I agree that some part are still not fully known. I would not describe that as full of holes. But I don't think much more can be found out. At least not with enormous budgets.

As for that investigation you want, there is no secret government agency stopping truthers from getting that done. The only thing I can think of that is stopping truthers from getting their investigation going is lack of organization, incompetence and complete dependence on others (probably the government) to get anything done.

Ok, but did you also consider that the columns were not required to fail? In fact, there is a lot of evidence of columns that did not fail as result of exceeding load. Many simply broke off as result of the lateral support structure failing at the point they were connected to the next column. If this was the case, you would even expect part of the core still standing after all the floors have already collapsed. And this is exactly what evidence is showing us.

Got to admit you certainly nailed that down. I think that is mostly true.

This is where you show you have no idea. You 'd be better off if you didn't even go there . NEG>

edit on 15-8-2011 by randyvs because: (no reason given)

Maybe I have no idea, its just that what I am saying is backed up by actual evidence. So me having no idea about it or not is not really relevant. The evidence shows us that many columns did not exceed their load capacity, but failed because of lateral forces. I can show you evidence of it, it is not hard to find though.

Unless the concrete wasn't there to begin with. Why is it easier to believe in mythical weapons?

reply to post by -PLB-


The evidence you write about is arguable at best and that is stretching it. Surely with all the tonage coming down in force the is bending and tearing of steel. As in every single demolition there ever has been.

Show it.

Bring it.

I bet I can Identify it as having to do with the matter we speak of.

As for those moulten pools? I don't even know for sure that they did exist.

reply to post by randyvs


The most obvious piece of evidence is a large part of the core still standing after the floors have collapsed:

911research.wtc7.net...

Meaning those columns did not require to fail for all floors to collapse. It also means those columns were not rigged, else they would have collapsed with the rest.

The definition:

an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence.

Is not in the least an accurate assumption. There is more than sufficient evidence that the isolated ejections have only ever been seen in controlled demolitions. That's easily provable if one does the most minimalistic of research.

You claimed that those isolated ejections "are to be expected". You have declined at least twice to post any sort of evidence that they "are to be expected" in any other situation than a controlled demolition. And have continued to post nothing but text onto your screen instead of backing up your claims.

Therefore, this discussion is over. You can't be debated with. You don't care what is presented because you have your mind made up, regardless of how inaccurate and impossible your conclusions are. It's your fantasy world you have to live in.

K did a real lousy job of marking t6his as i am pressed fpr time. But you can see the cut on the only main support colum in the pic.

Zoom in and have a look.
