If you watch the Dimitri Khalezov material, he maintains that because the WTC were so overwhelmingly large compared to the rest of the buildings in Manhattan, they were required to submit demolition plans before they were allowed to be built. The answer for this, very secretively for obvious reasons, was to have small tactical nukes stored in the basements of all the buildings on site in case some utter disaster occurred and they were needed to be taken down. Conventional CD would not have worked safely on such tall buildings!

That's a complete load of pigeon holing crap, and you know it. The only ones that heard explosions are 'truthers'... lol. First off, what the hell is a truther? No seriously...
Second off, there's a massive compendium of testimony and statements collected from various emergency personnel describing secondary explosions, none of which seemed to interest the 9-11 commission despite their objections, there's hours of footage and the crackling explosions are clearly heard and seen, particularly in WTC seven and there's a wealth of reports from witnesses and survivors of explosions in the basements, yet you've got the bollocks to call these people 'truthers' and still assumably sleep at night?

maybe you should look at your last statement you say you dont go to conspiracy websites whats this site then . you spend a lot of time on 9-11 sites for somebody who does not think it was planned . dont kid a kidder . try ebay instead im sure you will find something there you agree with lol

I have to say I have a soft spot for basement nukes. There's just something so zany about the idea of keeping nuclear bombs in the basement of office buildings "as a safety feature", "in case some utter disaster occurred"

My "logic" view.
The planes hit the towers, i think we can all agree on that, my judgement is from the videos showing the planes hit.

It was once counted out. He lost a lot of money. He still had to pay for the hole in the ground, every month. $10 million a month.

After Sept. 11, 2001, Silverstein continued paying rent without interruption of $120 million a year, or $10 million a month (over $300,000 a day).
Sure does suck paying rent with no income from a giant hole in the ground for years. Yea thats a GREAT way to make money. Remind me to never have a truther be my financial adviser.edit on 4/13/2012 by GenRadek because: (no reason given)

I think its my first post on this 9/11 forum, but I had to write this, by coincidence I met a firefighter who was in the WTC, I cant say who he is, but lets say he was a TOP person in the fire department and police department, and has experience on controlled demolitions, he rescued a few people that day and also got stuck and had to be rescued, that's all I can say about him.
Suuurrrreeee you did. There's no such thing as someone who'd be "the top person" of the NYFD *and* the NYPD except the mayor becuase they're two completely separate municipal departments. The TOP top leader of the NYFD on 9/11 was former fire commissioner Thomas Von Essen, and he has no experience in controlled demolitions since the NYFD was his only career and he although he was on site (he was almost killed by a falling jumper) he was never stuck. The truthers are accusimg HIM of being involved in the coverup too (he was a Gulliani appointee) so it's obvious he ain't your ally.
This is almost certainly a case of scenario B I suggested earlier, after the "con artist looking to make a fast buck" scenario A of why people are spreading fake conspiracy information- some troller is intentionally posting nonsense as a practical joke so he can laugh his [censored] off at the mischief it might stir up.

If you want to create a controlled demolition, and at the same time make it look like the planes damage to the building is the cause of the collapse, you would have to plan this in such a precision that, nothing viewed from outside(witneses or news cameras) would suspect anything else, plus the explosives would have to be absolutly placed right, to not get damaged and fail when the planes hit.
You're right it sounds illogical. But what is more illogical is two planes collapsing three buildings to the ground.
One of which landed in its own footprint.
Imposible IMO, i dont think there where any explosives placed in the building, it would be to risky to fail if you want to do it flawless.
But what if they failed? I'm pretty sure they had that possibility covered. We're not talking about a bunch of amateur criminals here after all.
When it comes down to it, the NIST version of the collapse initiation of the towers is bunk, and they didn't even attempt to explain how the collapses continued until complete failure.
If sagging trusses pulled in and broke massive box columns, 4" thick steel walls, then how come the 5/8", and 1", bolts didn't fail first? NIST didn't cover that. If the bolts were stronger than the core columns, why didn't they simply resist the weight falling on them? IF the trusses sagged from heat why didn't they push the columns out first? NIST didn't explain how steel expands when heated, and would push out if they could, and they sag because they couldn't. If they can't push the columns out they wouldn't be able to pull them in either. I guess NIST didn't expect people to question so deeply? The trusses were attached at each end to different size columns, why did they pull in equally? I guess NIST didn't think details mattered?
So we have lightweight floor trusses, sagging from heat expansion, held by weak-point bolts pulling in columns much larger than both?
That is what they're are trying to claim, and we are the nutty ones.

In it's own footprint? The debris destroyed the BMCC's Fiterman Hall that had to be rebuilt for 325 million dollars. It also caused extensive damage to the Verizon Building. It's restoration cost over a billion dollars.

the "pearl harbor" theory, has legs in my opinion. for some reason reasonable and plausible theories get no attention

I wonder what they mean...
These fireman are very clearly talking about secondary explosions.
Does anyone have a link to an old thread where this video was debunked?
I did a search but can't find anything specific to this video.
