You are being a disingenuous idiot, stop it!
You are making yourself appear the bigoted fool you are.
You are as Pussy is, dumb and dumber.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how old are you?
You are rather slow aren't you?
Don't you read much?
you clearly either are totally ignorant
you will be far too stupid to read or comprehend anything.
As usual you simply ignore anything relevant in your lame attempts to convince anyone you have a point.
For the mentally challenged among us here, of course I did. :weird:
I'm over this thread. The few moronic conspiracy theorists who continue to spout absolute crap on here
Yup! You idiots are beyond help... :doh:
Logic and facts are wasted on these idiots
You dumbo's
Well of course you are far more highly qualified to judge, aren't you... :rolleyes:
You are so thick
How dumb does one have to be
That's why I have given up, those with a brain cell or two understand clearly and have shown so, the idiots never will.
Now wait for the idiots
As I said several times, I have seen virtually every video and interview including that one and it is crap. But as I also said, you keep on proving me right about you every day...
of course you have to have at least one brain cell to see that.
There are enough gullible idiots like you
your stupidity and mischievous agenda
I cannot believe how stupid the conspiracy theorists are.
Their opinions, no matter how farcical, over-ride any facts presented. Sadly I agree that the time has come to consign this thread to PD as truly the idiots now posting are spouting total crap that fits the description of POINTLESS DRIVEL to a 'T'
their dogged ignorance.
Comments like that simply prove how dumb you are, sorry.
Katman, I couldn't actually find any of yours. How do you do it? You've taken a lot of insults from an adult who professes to have an imaginary friend, with retaliating... good effort.
Yes, I'm going with the theory that explosives were used in Building 7.Why only there?

Well I've certainly seen no evidence to support explosives, other than the rate of fall. I am not a demolition expert, and I don't know any. I'm not going to take the word of a bunch of people professing to be experts in the field, but can't get themselves in the mainstream media to get their message out.
As I've said, there are millions of rising reporters itching to break a huge story. Surely some of them think as you do. Surely if there really was irrefutable evidence they'd be presenting it.

So show me where NIST "tried to hide" anything.
Almost seven years after the collapse of Building 7 NIST released a draft report in which they used a blatantly flawed method to determine the buildings rate of fall.
They concluded that it fell at 40% slower than the speed of freefall.
After being given a lesson in Applied Physics and Mathematics by a high school physics teacher they conceded that the building did actually fall at almost exactly freefall speed.
Are NIST just not very good at their job?

I'd imagine that by the time WTC 7 came down the area would have been extensively evacuated anyway.

The truth of the Myth is taken on faith.
If some people have the bad taste to question the truth, the keepers of the faith do not enter the debate rather they ignore them or denounce them.

And there's no conflict there whatsoever.
In fact both of your summary statements say exactly the same thing: The building fell down without explosives being used.
Which, far from posing some irrefutable counter argument simply suggests that you're horribly confused about it all.
Outside of which, even your presumably intended contention that it couldn't have been a fire if it wasn't an explosion simply isn't true.

If the statement is true that it would need tens of thousands of tons of high explosive to demolish the building then clearly even if the entiremass of the plane was Kerosene then it would not have been sufficient to bring the building down. Remember the South tower with the huge fireball coming out the side. There's where most of that went.
The woman standing in the hole of the major impacted tower - obviously not very hot there.
The guys walking down the stairs past the fire - they didn't think it was very hot.
The firefighters who got to the damaged floors and reported they could deal with the fire with a couple of hoses.
This is the fire you are claiming has the destructive ability of tens of thousands of tonnes of high explosive.
You have got to be kidding.
The links you posted were interesting.
I assume you now accept what I had previously stated that there were pools of molten steel in the rubble 2 months after the collapse.
The latter link was a bit difficult to follow but I persevered. His conclusions are, in my opinion, not supported by the 'evidence' he presented.
The first poster resorts to the inane name calling that is typical of those I referred to above.

Plenty of people think the destruction of the Larry's buildings - the Twin Towers and WTC7 - was a means to get the general populace to approve them going to war. That only his buildings fell down and not those between the towers and WTC7 did seem odd.
Those that reject that point of view argue that the govt. would not go and kill three thousand of its own citizens.
I would suggest that there would have been very little loss of life had the calls not been made telling people there was nothing to worry about and to go back to work.
Others say the Govt. is so inept they couldn't organise such a thing. "Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery"!
The tragic events of Sept. 11 2001 raised questions that should not be left unanswered as they have been. And not left to 'God Botherers' to explain by quoting the Bible - for God's sake!
The families deserve answers. The world deserves answers. The Govt. has a moral duty to explain and if wrong is been found to have been done the perpetrators must be brought to justice.
Successive administrations have blocked access to items which could very simply put to rest a lot of speculation and conjecture.- for example confiscated video footage of the Pentagon. Calls for information under the Freedom of information act are ignored or rejected.
Instead they continue to obfuscate, reject and deny.
These actions alone, in my book, say they have something to hide.
Too many coincidences for them to be plausible; to any but the ardent 'believers' for whom no amount of proof would suffice.
Too many changes of story when parts of the story; become unravelled they merely alter the story. In the same manner the reasons for going to Invade Iraq.
Too little official action or information from the 'Authorities'. - although there does seem to be anonymous action from 'Authorities'. - Some have speculated on the source of financing of some of the 'information' that is disseminated over the web and through the media.
Maybe if Dick Cheney was waterboarded we might get some answers.
I pretty sure it would not take the 147 near death experiences that Khalid Sheik Mohammed endured before he confessed: "I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z."
He also confessed to
Organizing the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_bombing),
The Bali nightclub bombings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bali_nightclub_bombings),
Richard Reid's attempted shoe bombing,
Planning the attacks on Heathrow Airport (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathrow_Airport) and Big Ben clock tower (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_Tower,_Palace_of_Westminster) in London,
Daniel Pearl's murder in 2002,
Planned assassination (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination) attempts on Pope John Paul II (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II), Pervez Musharraf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervez_Musharraf) and Bill Clinton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton)
Was he a busy boy or just tired of the torture?
What might Cheney reveal?

How many explosions? because from the controlled demoliton I watched in real life on a building a fraction of the size of WTC there's a whole lot of banging going on plus you can see the flashes inside the building as they blow
Some interesting stuff about temparatures and burning
If you are referring to the destruction of 'the Grand Chancellor' building then you must surely have noticed the similarity in the way that building and WTC7 came down.
Was the 'interesting stuff' about temperatures and burning the 1000 degree heat he quoted for steel to burn or the 2,800 degree temperature he quoted three lines later?

But that wasn't your objection to his logic.
You said:
And there's no conflict there whatsoever.
In fact both of your summary statements say exactly the same thing: The building fell down without explosives being used.
Which, far from posing some irrefutable counter argument simply suggests that you're horribly confused about it all.
Outside of which, even your presumably intended contention that it couldn't have been a fire if it wasn't an explosion simply isn't true.
So, your logic might be simple, but correct it certainly isn't.
Time to re-read I suggest.
Your assertion is patently incorrect.

Ed's debunking theory proof:
1/ The towers could not have been blown up as it would have taken tens of thousands of tonnes of explosives to do it.
Ed's reason for the towers coming down:
2/ An aeroplane flew into the building and the kerosene caught on fire causing global collapse.
If the towers came down because of a kerosene fire, does that not then put a lie to the first statement?
ie. If the second statement is true then the first cannot be true.
Equally, if the towers needed tens of thousands of tonnes of high explosive to demolish them then the second statement must be false.
You can't have it both ways.
Simple logic.
Makes perfect sense to me. In fact I think you'd have to be a bit thick (as pig shit) not to grasp the point you've made there.

The building would have needed tens of thousands of tons of high explosives to bring it down.
Clearly if statement one is correct then statement two cannot be correct.
The confusion may lie in me not elucidating the fact that the explosives were assumed to be used in conjunction with the aeroplane crash.

No.
Assume, for a moment, (and I understand this might be difficult) that something other than an explosive device caused the building to fall down. A spontaneous existence failure of several steel columns, say.

When anyone refuses to acknowledge proven and verifiable facts and proceeds to oversimplify their argument ignoring the actual sequence of events they are of questionable mental capacity.
It has been clearly proven that explosives were not used, that commercial aircraft were used in all four incidents.
These proven facts are consistently denied by conspiracy theorists.

It certainly didn't have the guts knocked out of it and the fires were certainly not consuming the building.
The reality is that very little of the official story has been conclusively proven.
The 911 Commission offered no proof of anything (and interestingly, totally ignored the collapse of Building 7) while NIST (a government agency) have been repeatedly shown to have displayed highly questionable methods of investigation.
What is needed is an entirely independent investigation.
Trouble is, that would cost a fortune to carry out - and you can bet that the government won't be offering up any funding.

Another notable symptom of conspiracy illness is the refusal to look at all the evidence and focus on one thing in a belief that one relatively minor inonsistency renders everything questionable. Consistently accusing those of sounder mind of being brainwashed by the Govt.
And as I have pointed out before, only conspiracy websites will tell the truth no matter how often they and their so-called experts are proved wrong. Remember how insistent was the expert opinion that claimed a specific type of missile was used against the Pentagon and definitely was not an aircraft? Claiming the video evidence as proof?

That pics post earlier show the guts knocked out of it and the fires consuming the building but because they came from a site that debunked the conspiracy they have to be wrong according to your dogma, don't they? Even though the conspiracy can't refute them by putting up pics of that side of the building without the 10 floors missing.
The Conspiracy theory mentions the fire service not actively fighting the fires and then extends this to mean there were no fire personal to be pulled out of the building therefore the fire chief's comment about pulling it must mean demolition :facepalm: not actively fighting the fires because there is no water due to building 1 & 2 taking out the supply doesn't mean fire people weren't there trying to rescue people etc.

It has been pointed out that black smoke is indicative of an oxygen starved fire - i.e. one that's not burning particularly hotly.
I also pointed out that black smoke could just as easily be from the burning of plastic items - i.e. lots of smoke from very little fire.
No-one's denying that the building suffered impact damage from the collapse of the tower. It is extremely unlikely though that it suffered sufficient damage to cause it to collapse.

Of course it had a part to play. It was a significant event on the day of 9/11.

If there was serious doubt but there isn't and even if there was it could have been just limited to Building 7 but your point is an example of type conspiracy speak. You star t with an "if" and end with a factual type statement instead of the conditional style, now a good conspiracy would then have a second factual statement based on the premise the statement in the first sentence is a fact instead of a conditional if. IF there is serious doubt it COULD call into question.
Why do you say it is extremely unlikely WTC 7 suffer significant damage from WTC 1's collapse? Because it hasn't happened before? because a couple Govt servants that never expected to be involved in investigating what could have been an act of war were caught out by a hastily prepared draft of a report? Because of some video showing 1.25 seconds of freefall in a 5.9 second collapse from behind the backside of a wall? or because it isn't as much fun to say the govt story is more likely than the conspiracy?

Nope If & could. If there was doubt over 7 it still doesn't necessarily follow that no planes crashed into 1 & 2 however it could mean there was something in 7 that someone wanted to hide or for some reason wanted 7 gone so it is still a could.

You are drawing too long a bow. It took several hours for 7 to collapse after 1 and 2 were hit and then they had to rely on 1 collapsing towards 7 to act as cover. It would be easier to sent in someone dressed as a fireman to plant the explosives once 7 had been compromised, after all their secret wouldn't be at risk until after 7 was damaged. Given how badly TPTB are at covering up anything significant, Contra-Iran for example, it seems like fantasy.

Since we can't get anywhere with agreeing there was a lot of fishy stuff that happened that day and the decision to go to war was questionable.
At least the UN was able to decide that was the case when Colon Powell went off to present his case with a big smile on his face and good luck wishes from the media personnel covering the story.
Let us debate the latest bullshit emanating from the U.S.A., and its puppet master Israel, concerning Iran.
Widely branded as a Rogue state - a Nuclear threat etc.
The anti-Muslim propaganda program being waged seems pretty intense.
Is Iran deserving of this condemnation?
Is it a threat to the security of the world?
Would John Key send troops off to support a Anglo/American/Israeli plan to topple the govt. of Iran?
Would Julia Gillard send troops off to support a Anglo/American/Israeli plan to topple the govt. of Iran?

We are on top of the world because of the way most people visualize the direction the Earth orbits the Sun. The majority of the people asked: If you are looking down on the sun from above, which way goes the Earth go? say it orbits clockwise (this is the orbit around the sun, not the spin around the axis) ..
If that is the case then when you look down on the sun and see the Earth, the pole facing you is the South Pole. If you say looking down on the sun and the Earth orbits anti-clockwise then North is the Top pole. So by popular conception South is the pole at the top.

Stalin studied to become a priest. That makes him a God botherer in my book.
Bush and Blair were responsible for the deaths of an estimated four million people. That makes them Mass murderers in my book.
Both of them are known God Botherers.

Do we have freedom of speech on the internet now?
Two long posts I wrote would not upload.
These contained speech which may have been construed as attacks on the US and the criminals behind the throne of power.
I also pointed out the criminal behaviour of John Key. I pointed out that by giving financial aid and moral support to the rebels who overthrew the govt. of Libya he became a war criminal.
Internet access became difficult to impossible despite rebooting the modem and the computer several times.
A paranoid person may have concluded I was being censored.
How could one determine if that was in fact happening?
What would one have to write to trigger the algorithm that would lead to blocking of access?
Is our access totally free of monitoring and censorship?
Would this control be undertaken by the GCSB? - previously illegally and in the future legally.
Are reports of access denial and censorship just drivel from conspiracy theorists?

The only thing that is correct is that the DoD couldn't account for that figure and their accounting problems had been public knowledge since 1996.

Pentagon's finances in disarray
By JOHN M. DONNELLY The Associated Press 03/03/00 5:44 PM Eastern
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The military's money managers last year made almost $7 trillion in adjustments to their financial ledgers in an attempt to make them add up, the Pentagon's inspector general said in a report released Friday.
The Pentagon could not show receipts for $2.3 trillion of those changes, and half a trillion dollars of it was just corrections of mistakes made in earlier adjustments.
As for the cover-up, the DoD was putting out press releases after 9/11:
Zakheim Seeks To Corral, Reconcile 'Lost' Spending
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 2002 -- As part of military transformation efforts, DoD Comptroller Dov S. Zakheim and his posse of accountants are riding the Pentagon's financial paper trail, seeking to corral billions of dollars in so-called "lost" expenditures.
For years, DoD and congressional officials have sought to reconcile defense financial documents to determine where billions in expenditures have gone. That money didn't fall down a hole, but is simply waiting to be accounted for, Zakheim said in a Feb. 14 interview with the American Forces Information Service. Complicating matters, he said, is that DoD has 674 different computerized accounting, logistics and personnel systems.
Most of the 674 systems "don't talk to one another unless somebody 'translates,'" he remarked. This situation, he added, makes it hard to reconcile financial data.
Billions of dollars of DoD taxpayer-provided money haven't disappeared, Zakheim said. "Missing" expenditures are often reconciled a bit later in the same way people balance their checkbooks every month. The bank closes out a month and sends its bank statement, he said. In the meanwhile, people write more checks, and so they have to reconcile their checkbook register and the statement.
DoD financial experts, Zakheim said, are making good progress reconciling the department's "lost" expenditures, trimming them from a prior estimated total of $2.3 trillion to $700 billion. And, he added, the amount continues to drop.

Not really.
The FDR contained data not only for flight 77, but also for the 11 previous flights.
In 41 hours of data, the parameter never changed from '0'. It seems unlikely, although not impossible, that the cockpit door wasn't opened once during any of this time.

You can deduce nothing.
However, if you're willing give me a sensible alternative story, I'll listen.
Bear in mind though, none of the alternatives I've seen are in any way sensible.
For example:
Flight 77 never took off. So what made the big hole in the ground?
The cockpit door was never opened. So how do you account for the voices on the cockpit voice recorder? The cellphone calls by passengers?
The WTC was blown up. So why did I see a plane hit it? Why would "they" go to the trouble of having a plane hit it, when a massive explosion blamed on a bomb in the car park would have been simpler and more believable?

Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor from William of Ockham, and in Latin lex parsimoniae) is a principle of parsimony, economy, or succinctness used in logic and problem-solving.

A potentially explosive claim made by one conspiracy site is that the cockpit door on American 77, the flight that hit the Pentagon, was monitored on the flight data recorder and that this data showed the door was never opened. The site claims that the FDR data was obtained from the NTSB under the Freedom of Information Act and that the cockpit door parameter shows that the door did not open in flight. The site claims that this information was discovered eight years after the fact by an Australian researcher.
This claim cannot be closely examined because the link on the site’s page that purports to allow a download of the FDR data is a dead link. As a professional pilot, I can say that it is unlikely that the cockpit door was monitored on the FDR. Prior to 9/11, cockpit doors were not hardened as they are today and it is unlikely that they were monitored.

there's enough evidence to cast doubt over the official story.
Doubt isn't the same as proof
There are plenty of Engineers, Architects, Scientists etc who have placed their names in support of the refuting of the official story.
So are there no Engineers, Architects, Scientists etc who support the official story?

I apologise, it was not usable (I'm new to 911 conspiracy) I was referring to the Flight 93 CVR.
You lack of knowledge demonstrates clearly that you are new to the whole questioning of the official story.
Posting links to justify your assertions of facts, eg 'FDR parameter not installed', with the unequivocal truth as contained in the statement 'as a professional pilot it is unlikely the doors were monitored', is just being silly.
The events that took place on Sept 11 2001 and the subsequent moves by Govts around the world were and remain extremely important.
The behaviour of the US Govt. is probably the biggest reason to suspect official involvement. Guilty behaviour implying guilt.
Just as George Bush 1 was caught out lying by new technology (Peter Arnett broadcasting directly from the field) his son and cohorts have been also.
The greatly increased ability to communicate has enabled the dissection and examination of the official story in minutiae by experts and their findings have been disseminated to the world.
Your 'professional pilot' saying it was unlikely the cockpit door was monitored or later it was unlikely although not impossible the door would not have been opened during flight throughout the 11 previous flights prior is hardly sufficient to satisfy even the most rudimentary standards of proof.
What is of great importance is the realisation that we live in a connected world now and we should not simply accept the stories Govts. feed us without questioning.
The truth is out there and the truth will set you free. With the 911 story it seems the truth is getting closer and closer to being discovered and govts. are working harder and harder to prevent that happening. There actions speak volumes.
'Understanding the mechanics, motives and politics of what really happened before, during and after 9-11 is crucial to the prevention of the total destruction of the American Constitution and the traditional American way of life.
History is clear that whatever calamity happens to America, happens to the remainder of the globe. Hence, the American version of “globalization” is to be feared with serious and grievous trepidation'. http://physics911.net/omholt/ Part One of An Online Journal of 9-11 by Ralph Omholt
How are we to react to the next 'atrocity'.
The new 'New Pearl Harbour'. Simply go along with the official story and send our ANZAC fighting forces off to participate in another of their adventures?
John Key certainly seems raring and ready to go - committing our troops to support an invasion of North Korea.
I bet he believes the official story of 911.

So what ARE you saying?
You aren't biased?
I see all these claims about WTC7 and Flight 77 etc, but not one, single, irrefutable piece of evidence that contradicts the conclusion that AQ planned and executed the whole thing.
The conspiracy theorists are just that - theorists.
Sure there's interesting shit like the way WTC7 fell down, and the confusing testimony that came out, etc.
But in an operation that would have needed to have involved hundreds of people over the whole of the continental USA, we still have no one, 12 years after the fact that has come forward and said - "I was involved".
Why is that?
This is a Govt. that is bleeding intelligence at the moment.
Why no mention in wiki-leaks?
Nothing from the Russian spy's operating in DC?
Nothing from the British MI6 whistle-blowers mentioned earlier?
You know my reasons for siding with the conspiracy theorists. There are too many inconsistencies for 1 side to be believed over another, BUT, given that there are experts who honestly believe that the FACTS that back up the official story are questionable, I'm going with them as I wouldn't put it past a govt to allow these sorts of things to happen. Anything I say after this point will be "conspiracy", but I'm not foolish enough to believe that there aren't people in this world that would allow these sorts of things to happen and then do nothing about them other than to start planning for the fallout.
I fought my own fights, DIckhead.

Conspiracy theories are easy to concoct, and generally impossible to disprove - in the exact same way that it's impossible to actually prove anything.
I have recently learned that a significant number of Jews sold their homes in Christchurch, in the weeks and months before the big shake. So was there a Jewish conspiracy involved? My evidence says so - unless you can prove otherwise. You can't? Then the conspiracy stands.

There were failures in other areas before the "single" column collapsed
Eventually, a girder on Floor 13 lost its connection to a critical column, Column 79, that provided support for the long floor spans on the east side of the building (see Diagram 1). The displaced girder and other local fire-induced damage caused Floor 13 to collapse, beginning a cascade of floor failures down to the 5th floor. Many of these floors had already been at least partially weakened by the fires in the vicinity of Column 79. This collapse of floors left Column 79 insufficiently supported in the east-west direction over nine stories.

It is easy to see how US actions will be creating more 'terrorists' than eliminating them.

It is ingrained into our psyche to exact revenge, through the modern media, and I suspect more so in many of the countries currently under attack from the US and its allies.
As for Churchill his stint in the trenches should hardly have been sufficient to right the wrongs. Falling on his sword would have been the honourable thing to do.
His behaviour it appears didn't get any better later on.
We now see the current US and UK govts. following his lead by ignoring the 'rules of war' - the Treaties and Conventions that are supposed to govern their behaviour.
To me that is as inexcusable as the modern penchant for kicking people when they are down in fights which appears to have led to the recent death of a young lad in Ak.
The age old 'Queensbury Rules' understanding that governed getting or giving a bit of biff when I was young has gone out the window.

Plenty of questions have certainly been asked about the phone calls from passengers since cell phones didn't work from aeroplanes then and the seat phones had been taken out.
A debunker said the calls weren't from cell phones they were from seat phones and offered a photo of seat phones in an aircraft of the same airline he flew in a year later that had seat phones as proof they could have been made from seat phones. I've flown in many aircraft with seat phones back in the days before 911. None of them worked. Does that prove none of the passenger phone calls were real? Similar standard of proof to the debunker I would have thought.

Engineers said the fires caused the steel trusses to pull the columns inward in the twin towers.
They said fires caused the trusses to push the columns outward in the WTC7.
This one was interesting as it caused a larger column, buttressed by the rest of the building, to collapse rather than a perimeter column that had no support from the outside.
Is that logical? That it should work against the area of most resistance.

No, but a plane is a fairly flimsy structure, watch a few crash videos where they flew planes into solid objcts and there's fuck all left of them, but I'm sure all those bits of plane they found were planted,probably at the same time they wired the buidings for explosives

The huge unsupported floor span with that column gone, would have colapsed. That seems to have started a cave in of floors, and then once things were dropping pretty quickly, the exterior walls came down with reletive lack of impedence.

Mind control is probably more easily achieved in times of high stress. This may be what has happened.
The man with the big gun has a licence to kill - anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Don't need no stupid laws to tell him what he can and can't do. He's got Bebe for that.
With respect to England I guess you'd say that they are paying for their history, in many ways.
