We already got hit by Japanese bomber planes. The black eye from that really got our attention. Do you really think we'd make that same mistake twice? That we'd fall for that trick a second time? We have enough firepower to pass "God" in line and deliver Armageddon ourselves without breaking a sweat. We don't even have to wait until 12/21 to end the world, literally. But we were helpless to stop this?
I find that very difficult to believe. If we managed to tighten security this much after 9/11, surely we would have done it after Pearl Harbor...and kept it that way. We make so many enemies, it's foolhardy to consider doing otherwise. From that viewpoint, 9/11 should NEVER have happened. And I'm not the only one who looks at it that way, I think.edit on 13-9-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

Hmm, well, true, but it's not strictly a case of Architect's avoiding it so much as Architects are not legally qualified to prepare structural calculations at an institutional level. Legitimate Structural Engineering Consultancies, especially those involve in designing habitable structures are bound by practices under the regulatory bodies of their respective institutions (IStructE as it is here in the UK). Architect's have a good understanding of the design principles and even from a structural analysis view point, but their remit 99/100 times is far removed from these elements. You'll never hear an architect getting involved with sub-structure or super-structure design unless the conceptual design cannot be achieved through feasible solutions, or such designs require the assumptions being made through the Architect's consult. Ultimately, if their design can be achieved structurally without alterations to their concept, they pretty much have zero involvement (unless you tell we need a deep slender section across that opening, it's going to ruin your light array!)

1700 Architects and Engineers in 11 years so how many HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS world wide have yet to sign up!!!!
OR is that FACT just ignored works both ways you know!!!!
This is the most retarded post I've ever personally seen in any 9/11 thread.
There are many, many, many, many that don't wish to associate with the truth because the vast majority doesn't wish to hear it, that they are afraid to sully their name.
There are many, many, many, that aren't even really good enough to honestly hold qualification. There are also, many, many, many, many that did not even bother to investigate.
References concerning damage to WTC 7 - knock yourself out........ sites.google.com...

Look at the DIAGRAM on the video, look at the picture, do you want a link for the steelwork drawings just in case you haven't seen them
What he shows/ claims is not there it's that simple.
Want to explain how these guys got out of a lift stuck BETWEEN floors of your concrete shaft!!!!!!
Eventually, someone got through the wall. We now had a hole about the diameter of a finger and fresh air was coming through. The elevator shaft wall turned out to be 3 inches thick. It consisted of 3 ply of one inch sheetrock held together by the steel frame I mentioned.
Well what do you know it WASN'Tedit on 14-9-2012 by wmd_2008 because: (no reason given)

So how does a hole in one corner make for a symmetrical collapse?
Fire? No - they move through the building eating up fuel (paper, furniture etc) so burn very unevenly. So you have uneven damage, uneven fires, symmetrical collapse? Hmmmmm.

I guess by your repeated use of the word "symmetrical" it's now a fact that the collapse was "symmetrical"? Didn't look very symmetrical to me, in fact it was pretty caotic. If by "symmetrical" you mean "down", then yes the building did collapse down. Gravity.
No sideways movement, no twisting, just down. Just like every other controlled demolition I have ever seen

That's because they hate the idea of thinking that every single source of official information is untrustworthy. Who, then, are they supposed to trust? Unofficial sources?
The worst thing you can do to someone is rip that which is most familiar right our from under their feet. They will claw and scratch and bite before they let that go...

Watch this video from the 3 minute mark.
Why did none of the vehicles on the brige the plane flew over get blown away like this? If it was low enough to it the light poles (Which apparently didn't damage the wings, somehow?) Why were the cars we see in the pictures not tossed about like this car?
