The only logical explanation is a static charge.

In none of the videos have I been able to tell that it came from the fuselage, and not closer to the nose. It's hard to tell in that shot, just as it was hard to tell on the day it happened.
It happened in such a fraction of a split second that I don't think anyone would have been able to tell on the day it happened..
It appears to be emanating from the lower right fuselage area, to the right of and back from the nose itself, surely you can see that.
Here it is again in another slomo vid, but it's probably the same camera shot, can't be sure.
The other vid is a little clearer I think
The CNN photo is I think a still photo that just happened to get lucky and not a frame from a vid
It's not coming from the nose, anyone can see that, but from a location well back from the nose and to the lower right, which certainly doesn't correspond with the location of the crew oxygen cylinder.

That is the crew oxygen bottle igniting:

If you watch any video from that angle, you'll see the flash come from the exact location as the oxygen bottle.

I'm not saying that it isn't a static discharge, but if not, what else could it possibly be?
"... if the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center had succeeded, the resulting horror and chaos would have exceeded our ability to describe it. Such an act of catastrophic terrorism would be a watershed even in American history. It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented in peacetime and undermine America's fundamental sense of security within their own borders in a manner akin to the 1949 Soviet atomic bomb test, or perhaps even worse. ..Like Pearl Harbor, the event would divide our past and future into a before and after. The United States might respond with..
Constitutional liberties would be challenged as the United States sought to protect itself from further attacks by pressing against allowable limits in surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects, and the use of deadly force. More violence would follow, either as other terrorists seek to imitate this great "success" or as the United States strikes out at those considered responsible.
Like Pearl Harbor, such an event would divide our past and future into a "before" and "after."
The effort and resources we devote to averting or containing this threat now, in the "before" period, will seem woeful, even pathetic, when compared to what will happen "after."

So then… using long accepted methods for scientific analysis is intellectually dishonest. Got it.

Sure approx 96,000 tons of steel and about 80-90,000 tons of concrete for the floor slabs in each tower add in services ie pipework, cables, h&v, glazing and cladding it works out at about 220-235,000 tons in each tower.
Didn't see much of any of that from the rubble photographs
or subsequent testimonies. Where did it all go?

Me I just cannot bring myself to be discovered protecting and standing guard for the official story public myth about what happened there.

Real conspiracies there. But, sadly, too mundane for "truthers." No explosions.

12 Years after the event you can see clearly that 911 was a false flag event because of the systematic Nazification of the USA. The Gestapo has risen once again to control the masses for a Military Superpower, the scary bit is why ? the answer lies in the years ahead with WW3 being the clue.

An act of catastrophic terrorism that killed thousands or tens of thousands of people and/or disrupted the necessities of life for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, would be a watershed event in America's history.
Constitutional liberties would be challenged as the United States sought to protect itself from further attacks by pressing against allowable limits in surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects, and the use of deadly force. More violence would follow, either as other terrorists seek to imitate this great "success" or as the United States strikes out at those considered responsible.

The idea of 'public presumption'," he explained, "is akin to [the] notion of 'public myth' but without the negative implication sometimes invoked by the word 'myth.'
Such presumptions are beliefs (1) thought to be true (although not necessarily known to be true with certainty), and (2) shared in common within the relevant political community."

You may note how his language found it's way into the following think tank policy report led by Dick Cheney.
Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century
A Report of the Project for the New American Century
September 2000
www.newamericancentury.org...
"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."
On September 11, 2001, George W. Bush wrote in his journal: "The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today." He was echoing the summary of a September, 2000 report titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses" published by a neoconservative think tank called the Project for a New American Century (PNAC).
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

Thanks for your reply. This link says 1,500,000 is the weight (of the two?) towers. Others say 500,000 tons each. Morgan Reynolds says 1,000,000.

Most of the 1,000,000 plus guesstimates are based on info regarding the cubic mtrs of concrete delivered to the site BUT that included things like the BATHTUB which is not part of the buildings also the floorslabs had a less dense mix of concrete than say would be used for a structural mix so the 220-235,000 ton estimates will be more accurate.
