This page kinda turned me away from the demolition theory. Check it out. I would normally ask people to have an open mind, and that actually should be the NORM, unfortunately, the internet creates a bunch of egos that refuse to ever change their mind, because for some reason that indicates the person is wrong...but whatever. Pretty childish in my opinion. Check it out: www.tms.org...

Load is evenly distributed, essentually, to minimise ... achilles' heels... in a building's integrity.
You drop that much weight on bolts and they WILL break. No bolts are designed to withstand that kind of pressure... same with welds... the mass (plus it's acceleration) was EASILY enough to break steel bolts and welds.
It's so obvious, based on the accelation of the collapse, that this wasn't a demo... in other words, the time it took to collapse each floor gradually, but consistantly decreased... that's essentially impossible to mimic with a demo... uniform acceleration across dozens of floors... it's not in any way something faesible with thermite burns or hundreds of invisible inauble timed explosions... it's a fantasy...
Nah dude if I just posted the 2 hour video, at least 50% of people wouldn't even watch the whole thing before commenting.
You could have just posted the video, instead of replicating all of the information in the video...most of it verbatim.
That's fine man. It's just really hard for me to look at the 10 characteristics of a CD that matche up with the collapses of WTC7 and the Twin Towers and say "Those weren't brought down by explosives".
I believed they were brought down by demolition for a LONG time. However, I've seen a few websites and read a few things that changed my mind about them. But then again, I consider myself having a VERY open mind. There are lots of thing that don't add up about the events of 9/11, but the buildings collapsing (except 7) aren't an issue for me.

I would like to know, however, what industry created the "10 characteristics of a CD." How can an analysis which actively ignores factors influencing the building come to the assumption that demotions had to be used? What kind of demolition was it? Was there any trace left of the explosives, if they were there? Seriously, where is the proof?

I don't know how top secret military operations happen either
How can anyone in civvy street explain how secret military services use modern technology ?
I have no idea how advanced these organisations are regarding anything whatsoever
Government, military, secrets, technology..........Who knows???edit on 14-9-2011 by zerozero00 because: (no reason given)

You can't prove it because the secret baddies used secret technology.
This is the equivalent of religious faith. And it's certainly not rational.
The absence of evidence for demolition is NOT evidence of secret technology. It is evidence that the buildings were NOT destroyed through a controlled demolition.edit on 14-9-2011 by captainnotsoobvious because: (no reason given)

It accounts for it perfectly well... you still haven't done the googling suggested.. I can tell because you're still making VERY uninformed comments about how the building was engineered... C'mon man... either dson't believe things you don't have proof of, or at least don't argue positions you don't understand... OR... when you get called on something, go research it to make sure you have the correct information...

Finally, just a word about holograms. The technology exists. The explanation helps to resolve the conflict among eyewitnesses. Most who were verifiably present and who had an obligation to be alert, almost invariably report seeing a fireball and hearing an explosion. They do not report seeing a jetliner. One can ask, how could they have missed seeing a jetliner 1000ft(+/-) above their heads; and, how could they not be certain they heard the characteristic sound of a jet, especially one zooming in at 500+mph? However, to account for the minority of known eyewitnesses who claim they saw some sort of plane (small, large, missile, etc.), the hologram postulate has merit.
As you have dismissed the falling spire and asked others to provide evidence, I would ask you to support your statement that the technology exists for such a hologram. There is currently nothing that can be proved to exists that is capable of projecting a 3D object into an open air space, especially on the scale and distance as would be required and visible during broad daylight. All current forms of 3D projection are either clever tricks (projecting a 2D image on a half reflective glass, projecting a 2D rendering of a 3D object onto a contoured surface, etc), require a voumetric medium (fog, smoke, etc) or a use specially crafted reflective base and is only applicable on very small scales (like the size of a post stamp, and cannot move outside of the projection surface).
It seems to me you do not believe in the holograph theory, but would still like to keep it available to be able to counter eyewitness reports of a plane. If it is so ridiculous to assume that eyewitnesses wouldn't have seen a jetliner 1000ft above their heads if it was there, wouldn't it be equally ridiculous to assume they somehow missed seeing a jetliner hologram 1000ft above their heads? "This eyewitness didn't see a plane because there was no plane, but this eyewitness saw a plane because there was a hologram."
It doesn't work like that, you can't have it both ways and only use it when it is convenient to support your theory whilst ignoring it otherwise.

The proof we do have consists in no fewer than 5 factors as follows (and there are more):
1--Military exercises simulating the hijacking of aircraft and the crashing of them into buildings are acknowledged to have been taking place on 9/11. Even Maj.Gen.Larry Arnold, the person in charge of the exercises, did not know the full extent of what was taking place, as per Lynn Spencer, "Touching History."
2--Most validated eyewitnesses report seeing a fireball and hearing an explosion. Next to none of the validated eyewitnesses report seeing and hearing a jetliner.
3--The image of 1 jetliner projected on national tv was shadowy no matter what angle it was photographed from and did not look authentic.
4--The shadow thingy crashed through steel perimeter beams without slowing or degrading or leaving any identified pieces of wreckage.
5--Some videos have been shown to have been fake, while others haven't been authenticated. Further, there are some videos where no jetliner image is seen at all.
Here are two authentic videos that have authentic witnesses who were present when the North Tower explosion occurred. The witnesses are consistent in seeing and hearing an explosion:
