However, in no video I have ever seen, do we see/hear explosions leading up to the collapse.
You asked me a question, and I answered it.
I do not even know how to respond. I know where you stand, I am asking you a question. Why is it so hard to answer a question.
Let me try to break it down nice and simple for you.
Are you saying that the energy was dissipated as sound yet still caused the collapse?
Are you claiming that energy would not be transferred to sound during a collapse? You confuse the hell out of me dude.
Also, I did not state you are an expert but if you are going to play like one you should be prepared to back it up with more than a movie review and the newly coined "breaking wind" theory you have presented that shows how you believe the energy must have converted itself to sound...

One of the easiest things to do to a video is alter or mute the audio track. All it takes is some audio software which you can purchase off the shelf or probably even download for free. Regardless of who did or did not hear what, two massive skyscrapers which were designed to withstand airplane impacts, hurricanes, high winds, fires, earthquakes and other disasters should have never collapsed due to a couple of oxygen starved fires.
In fact, collapse isn't even the correct term. Both buildings were literally blown to bits, judging by the ridiculously small remaining rubble pile. For one to believe this is what a random collapse results in, well, let's just say you must have a very unorthodox sense of reality.
As for WTC 7, I am sure the BBC and "Pull It Guy" will be more than happy to tell you what "went down" there.

Why would they bring down the towers. To what gain or to what advantage did it give whoever to bring them down . ????

This is the age old Truther ploy:
We can't explain it, but we believe it, so the evidence is missing because of a) a cover up b) secret technology c) assassinations and death threats.
Never mind that without that missing evidence all they have is suspicions based on coincidence and distrust.
In other words, it's faith. Faith that their assumptions about people is correct. Faith that missing evidence is ... actually missing, not non-existent. Faith that a coincidences are meaningful. And on and on.
And in an echo chamber like ATS this faith looks like fact to the true believers... however, if you actually demand something like proof before you "believe" you;ll be out of luck; there is none in Trutherism.edit on 20-9-2011 by captainnotsoobvious because: (no reason given)

Why are you so hung up on the sound?
Do the visuals NOT tell you what happened to the buildings?
Both towers fell without resistance.
The OP'd video uses Science to come up with that.
Where did the reinforced steel go that resided within the center of both towers?
I just don't get ANYONE who could actually *think* this event could have been accomplished by a PLANE
and its jet fuel! Do you?

Because I have done research on this, and to the best of my ability, I have determined that the planes are the most likely reason that the towers collapsed. I can't find enough evidence to suggest another cause.
Originally posted by VaremiaYou can say it "looked" like a demolition until the cows come home, but until you prove that there were demolitions in the building, what's the point? I'm trying to find evidence FOR demolitions, but I cannot find any evidence. One of the signs of a demolition is the noise that the charges make. I went through every sound byte I could find and could not quantify explosive sounds.
Originally posted by VaremiaSo, instead of saying, "perhaps it is not explosives," you guys move the goalposts and say "oh, it must have been a silent explosive."
Originally posted by VaremiaRiiiiight. Well, I'll believe that when I see it. Show me a demolition that has silent charges, and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and there will be no cop-outs by saying it was "secret government technology." Evidence is nicer than conjecture.
To kill Americans, get the people upset at the enemy, and want to go to war and invade the Middle East.

I think Flight 93 was our military finally getting their act together after a day of confusion and actually wasn't the original plan. I also think that the Pentagon was struck by a commercial airliner because there's more evidence that supports it than contradicts it, although there is some of both. But the conclusion is the same, we would invade the Middle East as a result of the false-flag attack.
OK, so your thought process is that the US government created a scenario that would kill 3000 innocent people, coordinate the demolition of 3 buildings, shoot one down and hit the Pentagon with a cruise missile. This would then incite America to attack the enemy. Then, the conclusion is that we would invade the Middle East.
No, but we're well on our way.
Throw in the Patriot Act and we are all living 1984..right? Orwellian...
I think we have to agree to disagree on this subject, because I think the invasion of Afghanistan/Iraq would not have happened without 9/11, and you think otherwise.
9/11 had nothing to do with the invasion of Iraq. That was as UN resolution( A bogus one, who knows but it was not about 9/11). What we did do in the days after 9/11 was run ops in Afghanistan with no restraint. The US was already in that region you call the Middle East. So there was no need for 9/11 as it would have happened anyway.
I believe that the US government is in one way or another involved in the drug trade. This isn't a thread about that topic, but I plan to make one in the near future that describes that very subject.
If anything, it open the drug trade from Taliban control. Drug Dealers benefited more from 9/11 then the US government and how to control their minions.
Yes, but the lack of evidence tells me otherwise.
You may not have heard of any plots that were foiled by a cell/text but that does not mean it does not exist
Yes I agree with you here, however the Patriot Act expanded on this and gave them even more authority to spy on citizens.
Computer forensics is a huge field. It is safer to use Electronic communications than sending something in the 'mail' that would just not get there or be read/replaced and sent on. How do you think people communicate these days and in the last 10 years or so? Email....The government has always tapped or kept phone records.The PA just gave them more leverage to use it against someone I believe from how I interpret it. I mean, if you are doing nothing wrong, what are you worried about. However, if something is intercepted that could have stopped an attack, etc...then why not? We are all still on this site so I do not think 9/11 or Bush brought in martial law nor a new world order. Bottom line is NSA does what it wants and always has.
