You can if people don't understand what they see in the picture the OP is a prime example none of those building were the same construction as the towers or the same height they were not struck by high speed aircraft or falling debris and most of them had concrete cores.
It's an apples WITH apples game I will use this example yet again using the logic of the OP it's like saying this could win NASCAR
After all it's a car it has an engine so it could win , do you see what I mean.edit on 9-5-2013 by wmd_2008 because: (no reason given)

Just wondering, have you ever read the NIST report? It is stuffed with models and calculations, it touches about any critique anyone has ever come up with, without most people even realizing that NIST already considered their idea.
I am not saying their report is perfect, but it is by far the best analysis on the WTC collapse initiation. I am not saying it is the holy truth, but their analysis makes sense, as it matches the video and photographic evidence. Explosives don't. Made up secret weapons, well, sure, they match anything, as nobody knows what they should look like.
I am all open to reasonable critique on the NIST report. But most critique only shows that the person expressing it has no clue about the contents of the report. Just take the direct denial that ANOK shows about the inward bowing. It has been observed on litteraly all video or photographic evidence available. We know for sure that something had been pulling those columns inward. We know explosives can not do that. Why invent all kind of crazy ideas while sagging trussen can explain it too? If you understand that concept that is.

let me know after reading it how you feel about photographic/ video footage now and what lengths the people in power will go to.
Actually you are the one who should read it, just what are they being charged with? It actually points out how silly the claim:
Have any of you noticed the Police/Government are doing all they can to ban or make it a crime to take a photograph of anything happening.
Is, as they are being charged with destroying video evidence....

Yes and MY points and previous posts on this thread cover the towers and WTC 7, I mention struck by aircraft (the towers) or by falling debris (wtc 7)
None of those buildings had the same construction as the WTC buildings is that SIMPLE enough for you to understand!!!edit on 9-5-2013 by wmd_2008 because: (no reason given)

My point is basically that the truth you see in a photograph/video depends on the interpretation of the observer. Sure you can reach a consensus, but especially on vague photos/videos this can still be wrong. It also depends a lot on the knowledge of the observer. A group of rocket scientists will have no clue when they look at an MRI scan of a brain.
So it is not as black and white as you portray it.

You will never see me claim that it is basic physics. That is one of the one liners from other people on this forum. My position actually is that it is such a complex subject that without very good training you can't say anything sensible about it.
If you want to talk about the collapse itself, there are several model out there. I never seen anyone come with prove it is not possible (just the one-liners "its basic physics"). There are even videos out there that show demolitions using just initiation event and gravity only.
but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good.
we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to collapse.

Of course I fail, just look at my sig. You have a conviction. It is not based on any science, else you would be slapping my head with paper and mathematical models. Instead you try to slap me with petty talk. Sorry, that won't work.

Do you also know that engineers didn't have to take into consideration thermal loading on structural members because of fire that's only just changing now
Or that many countries had a look at construction codes for fire after 9/11.
WTC 7 Structural damage due to falling debris, fires on various floors an unfortunate steel design due to the open plan foyer 7 hours of fires and the rest is history.

This is exactly what I am talking about. What is your and your wives experience with building collapses due to fires? What is your and your wives experience with structural engineering?
My guess is none. You do not possess any divine knowledge. So if you see anything that is not right according to you, we have a method to prove this. Though it requires years of study on the subject. And with study I do not mean browsing the internet, but I mean solving physics problems, and working with mathematical models. That is the way we really progress. It’s not looking at a picture or video and saying “I don’t believe this”
