Kevin Ryan, formerly of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) (Edit by NAM: who was fired for asking questions about the steel he was involved in testing and certifying as it related to the twin towers), made a post back in January of 2008 at 9/11 Blogger showing that the floors of the WTC that had the fire-proofing upgraded, matched almost exactly to the floors that were impacted and failed in both towers:

The air traffic controllers who saw the pentagon "plane" on their radar assumed it was a military craft because of its extraordinary speed and maneuvering.

And did you bother to read their entire quote? They thought it was a military plane because you don't fly a commercial plane like that because it would make the passengers uncomfortable.

Just LOOK!
The buildings, the STEEL buildings..
Went down, from top to bottom, to within maybe three seconds of absolute free fall in nothing but air, alone..
Vd is 420 knots for the 767 as set by the manufacturer based on wind tunnel and flight testing.
Here are those limitations, from Boeing...

Does this implicate Boeing? not necessarily (but it probably does somewhere down the line).
But the actual speed of 510 knots at sea level is not even close to supersonic.

Sure, it may be, but then I wasn't arguing that. It would be more direct to show test results that the plane would break apart at or below the reported speed at sea level; that would make the argument clearer.
Another issue is that proving this plane couldn't have been Flight 175 in an ordinary 767 doesn't equate to proving controlled demolition of the towers, as the thread title says. It only invalidates one aspect of the official story. There are dozens of details that are fudged or concocted in their official version. And proving one point wrong won't convince official story supporters or so-called debunkers that the whole thing was setup. For these type arguments to ever get traction, we have to present them well, preferably in a way that each point stands on its own merit. Hopefully, that would keep future threads out of the Hoax bin, although lately I've begun to suspect ATS is not interested in the truth, so maybe not. Maybe it's like Jack said, they can't handle the truth.
"During the descent from 12,000 feet to 6,000 feet, the aircraft groundspeed remained between 500 - 520 knots. As the aircraft made it's descent to 1000 feet, it accelerated (there goes Zaphod58's hypothesis about the speed at level flight on final approach) and impacted World Trade Center tower #2 at approximately 510 knots groundspeed.

TextNot trying to be snarky at all, just very clear, and disciplined, given what's at stake here and what we're really looking at, so please don't take my long meticulous replies the wrong way, thanks.
"A honey pot, in intelligence jargon, is a tempting source of information or 'dangle' that is set out to lure intended victims into a trap. Ultimately the honey pot is violently and maliciously discredited so as to destroy the credibility of anything stuck to it, by association." (Michael Ruppert, "Crossing the Rubicon," p. 184)
NAM: The type of thing that Alex Jones does quite often in making it all a rather clownish affair, to be taken seriously on the one hand, but with fear and apathy on the other merely "raging against the machine" might also fall into this catagory, as a type of "controlled opposition."

For those readers who wish to know more about the real history of 9/11, you can find it here
www.historycommons.org...
Other than that all we'd be left with would be the 9/11 Commission Report and the NIST Report, and that's all she wrote as far as the official story or "official" history goes.
Never forget.
In loving memory of Kevin Cosgrove, who was not ready to die that day, and neither were the firemen who were setting out to put out the fire on the 79th floor..
Think twice debunkers about what you're defending or trying to defend, and guard. You may hate me for saying that, but the time always come where a choice needs to be made.
This is not fun and games.

Don't want a reply DON'T post anyone can reply to anything, Judy Wood just
wmd_2008
As for Judy Wood and her DEW weapon please explain HOW that would work what it would use to do
what you claimed happened and most importantly why the is NO evidence of it in use.
