Oh btw, its all very conclusive - you just have to forget the made up parts of the official story, and accept the truth for a change.
The problem inherent is that the Controlled Demolition theorists here do not know how to convince my mind. Using "It's obvious" and "anyone can see that this is etc." and "it looks similar to this..." will not cut it. I need proof of demolition such as residue or opportunity for the planting of it, an explanation of how the fire and damage could have done nothing (my brain refuses to think that large holes and lengthy fire are harmless to steel).
You should check the OP, it has 7 posts worth of evidence.
Never assume that you are absolutely correct. Always leave room for error and accept a possibility for reversal of your view. This is how I get along, and it has worked fairly well so far. With regard to 9/11, I have personally found the evidence to lean in favor of the official story (in terms of mechanics) rather than the conspiracy with explosives. I like to think I'm open to new evidence, but so far it has not shown itself.
Convince your mind?

Uh....check the OP of the thread you're posting in dude.

:shk:....Just read the OP dude, you clearly didn't read it.
We have plenty of burning buildings, some with partial collapses, yet we have no damaged burning buildings of the variety of 9/11. It is simply something which never happened before.)

Deeper in the building? Probably hotter, where the fire was not as exposed to the outside air. Obviously the volume of the smoke was evidence of something burning inside, right? It didn't seem like a tiny fire. Same with WTC 7. That was a LOT of smoke! Are you trying to imply that the fires were burning cold?

Stay away from that Judy Wood stuff, it makes the truth movement look bad.
Excellent post, my compliments, however I'm still going with Dr. Judy Wood.
The is a video at Utube which shows a steel "spire" falling down vertically, however when you look at the top section you can "clearly see" the steel turning to dust, and thermite doesn't do that.
The video you're referring to doesn't show the spire turning to "dust", it just looks that way because as it falls down it leaves some dust behind. Here, watch it and see what I mean:
I gotta say you made some pretty good points. I believe it's most likely an illusion caused by the spire falling, and the dust is really just slower to fall than the steel giving it the appearance of disintegrating. However when I watch this video....it seriously looks like it turns to dust:
The 35 second video you refer us to shows the spire turning to dust. Further, the spire was more than 50 stories in height. The scant remains of the towers, consisting in a virtually flat ground zero, show no evidence of a 50+ story spire.
Those who claim the spire fell, rather than disintegrate, have an obligation not merely to suggest to others what is or is not shown in a video. Rather, there is an additional obligation to show some evidence of a structure that large on the ground. It was nowhere to be found at gz.

1. Formulate a question.
2. Perform research and record observations.
3. Construct hypothesis and make predictions.
4. Test with experiments.
5. Analyze results, draw conclusions.
6. Determine whether or not hypothesis is corrobrated, then either try again or report results.
Yeah I feel ya, watching it with the preconceived notion that it will turn to dust....well makes you expect to see it turn to dust.
It's dropping and leaving a dust trail. I remember the first time I saw this video and read the evaporation theory. To be honest, at the time, I saw what I wanted to see. You have to be careful not to let others plant a mental impression in your mind to cloud what you are actually seeing.
When the attacks initially happened I didn't even consider such a thing. But you know how the word eventually gets around, so I heard of it and decided to look into it. All it takes is a couple hours of research to really give you something to think about, but IMO the vast majority of Americans don't even look into it. They just accept what they were told, and constantly hear the MSM attacking crazy conspiracy theorists and laughing at them, so it's gotta be a bunch of nonsense.
I watched this all unfold on television while at home nursing a broken ankle. Before there was a "911 truth movement." It was just common sense to me as I watched the twin towers fall that it was a controlled demolition. In fact, I was a little beside myself when I watched the second tower fall. And when I watched tower 7 fall later that day ... it clenched it for me ... and I have had no reservations otherwise since that day.
Yeah like I said earlier in the thread, the whole space lasers and holographic planes have seemed to me like dis-info to make people who question the official story seem like insane idiots who believe anything they hear on the internet.
It is unfortunate that the "truth movement" has been infiltrated with the loons (psyops?) who claim such things as holographic planes and such. I believe that planes did hit the twin towers, but I am not entirely convinced that they were common passenger jets, nor am I entirely convince that a passenger jet hit the pentacon. It is absolutely BS that showing ALL the videos confiscated would be detrimental to "national security".
The Windsor Tower or Torre Windsor (officially known as Edificio Windsor) was a 32-storey concrete building with a reinforced concrete central core. A typical floor was two-way spanning 280mm deep waffle slab supported by the concrete core, internal RC columns with additional 360mm deep steel I-beams and steel perimeter columns.
The total burnout of four and a half floors did not cause damage to the main structural members due to a good application of spayed fire protection on all steelwork
Without the effective fire fighting on the 16th floor by the fire brigade, the fire could have spread to all floors above.
It was also shown that if fire protection to structural members is adequately designed and applied with quality control, fire damage to fire exposed members will be minimised and structural collapse can be prevented

It didn't turn to DUST it was covered with DUST!!!! So your LOW RES youtubed video makes it look like it crumbles to dust.
Can you please explain how you think it would turn to dust?.

Sorry Verm...the fires in the interior of the building would be cooler than the fires outside the building...in almost ALL situations....do you know why....OXYGEN.....fires become starved for oxygen in the interior...and they will always burn towrds the oxygen...why do you think it is drummed into peoples head from a very young age...NEVER open a door if fire is suspected....feel the handle for heat....because if you open the door the fire will race towards the oxygen....and i know it will literally race to it.....if your in a room and a fire is in another room...you close your door before opening the window to escape...why...because again the fire will race towards the open window.......fires need two
things...FUEL AND OXYGEN.....as anyone will tell you...it is the fuel to air mixture.edit on 023030p://f44Tuesday by plube because: (no reason given)

Lol OSrs talking about BS... Love the ignorance huh. Why do you mention the windsor? I saw that pile of concrete and steel burning for hours, it almost looked like the twin towers, ah no nevermind, the twin towers collapsed because of less than 2 hours of fire, my bad. Ah yes a plane hit them, but they were designed with that in mind (not for some here, ignorance=bliss). Now whatwere you going to say about the windsor? Because it did what we all expected it to do, keep the concrete-steel structure, and drop the extra external floors that were built afterwards, and that is the very reason they use steel in buildings, you cant burn it.
Will say that again, because it seems you OSrs have a hard time reading, or the IQ is far below the 50 score I gave you a few pages back: uneven scattered fires do not bring buildings down in a controlled demilition manner, not even close to it. Oh btw, too bad the video on the OP is using the scientific method, and that is what we discuss here. Ad hominem is getting old really, you should get new ideas.
