Statement #1 - Building collapse is the result of multiples and successive structural failures that occur at a certain period of time. The collapse (global or partial) occurs when the structure (or part of it) becomes no longer able to support the loads. Statement #2 - Fire can cause structural...

Haha. This should get funny: http://www.911blogger.com/news/2012-08-07/collapse-physics-huge-obvious-error-bazants-work :D So far only one other poster commented and asked a question: Let's see if any of the brainiacs there step in to actually defend Bazant and put this fool Duschvorhang...

Jeff Farrer said in an interview in late 2010 that, sometime around 2005/2006, he and Steven Jones studied some WTC steel. Quote starts at 3:24: Here: 23n0Vr_A1TQ Later on at 4:41: He then goes around poking a little about why he finds all this strange and suspicious and how the phases could...

Predictably, 9/11 Truthers are variously avoiding the results of Dr Millette's study by attacking him, Chris Mohr and Oystein; by misrepresenting what the paper says; by pretending that it doesn't make any difference to the 'Official Story' etc.... Once again confirming that they aren't really...

This is a pretty interesting video that was created for the collapse of the WTC. eh3qUmNxC6E

This sidetrack got moved to AAH. Yes, Bill, it's true. NIST NCSTAR 1-1C (I have the draft version) discusses pre-9/11 survey and repairs of WTC 1, 2 and 7 with numerous mentions of concrete and masonry, concrete encasement of beams and columns (any of those search terms would work) Bedunkers...

So I don't get very many chances to post on this site, and I went back about 5 or 6 pages looking for a poll but I didn't find one. So WAS 9/11 an inside job? I can honestly say without a reasonable doubt that yes, it was an inside job. They not only had knowledge of what was going to happen...

I see the "near freefall" collapses of the towers are still seen by some as indication for a Controlled demolition. i once believed the same. But Gregory Urichs short paper about it and me watching several collapses compared to CD's convinced me, it is no indication at all. most CD's do merely...

WHat kind of Glas was Used in the WTC 1 and 2 towers and do we know at what temperatures it gets fluid?

As I am reading through the threads catching up on the past few months of not lurking through the sub-forum, I see the argument that fire wasn't enough to destroy 3 buildings in one day rearing its ugly head still. First of all, I am not arguing that fire alone caused the collapse of the 3...

This question came up in another thread, where it is off-topic. I am opening a new one. I think it is best to keep this in a separate thread, if everyone could agree to not debating the Harrit-paper as such! So please do not repeat any of the discussions we had before about - why the red-grey...

http://letsrollforums.com/building-wtc-detonate-worth-t24622.html WTF is this crap! Most of this insanity fueled horsepoop is unfathomable but the main points (I think) are: *Some nutjob claims NYC buildings were constructed with demolition charges already in place. He might mean WTC only but...

Was in NYC this weekend doing a job for JP Morgan Chase moving computer equipment at Water St just south of WTC. Coming home at the entrance to the PATH station on Vesey St was a loon from WAC, with his posters calling Bush a criminal and all the usual truther crap He was expounding on...

In another thread, there were a few posts touching on the issue of what amount of explosives is required to bring down a highrise building. Dave Rogers referred to the tallest building demolished by explosives so far, the J. L. Hudson department store in Detroit. I replied, arguing that the...

Talking about the towers here. My post in this thread got me thinking about the towers' cores and the argument that explosive demolition will be easily recognizable by its sound. Bedunkers typically refer to videos of controlled demolitions with the signature loud bang-bang-bang sounds of the...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110307/us_yblog_thelookout/nypd-helicopter-video-of-9-11-attack-surfaces Guess this is new? I can't get it to play. Anyone else? As usual, the retards spew in the comments section.

Why are Truthers so committed to the 'controlled demolition' theory? It seems to me that they could still put forth their 'inside job' theory without the need for a controlled demolition. Why is controlled demolition so central to their conspiracy model? It seems to me that it would be a lot...

Been informed that our fire department will be escorting steel from WTC next weekend. Our apparatus will be part of convoy for the steel column as its transported by flat bed trailer from construction company to its destination as part of a memorial

The twoof tards have made extensive use of the now-famous clip of the "Harley Guy" talking to a Faux News reporter about what he witnessed on 9/11. They have even tried to claim that he was an actor named Humphries. "Real people don't talk like that," the twoofers whine. WRONG. His name is...

Much has been made of the few seconds of free fall in the WTC. So far as I can see, the onlt items falling at anything approaching free-fall were some of the debris from the collapsing zones of the towers and at least part of the shell of WTC 7. The speed of the collapses is used as evidence...

I have been trying to model the manner in which the floor slabs in the towers failed and in what attitude they descened to the next slab. It seems obvious to me that they would NOT fall flat, because one end or the other would become detached first, thus allowing that end to strike the next...

Why do twoofers think fireproofing is used to protect steel structural members in buildings if fire can't destroy a steel building? Seriously, what is the point? Is this some giant scam by contractors to get more money? Perhaps the NWO had been perpetrating the myth that steel buildings need...

I have secveral times posited that the cores of the towers were ultimately broken by mechanical resonance, as opposed to thermite, explosives or simple crushing down. This has been met with utter denial and occassionally psychotic ranting by twoofers. Engineers are sometimes skeptical. This...

This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe7Td_MrRlA seems to show some kind of audible and visible explosion of the face of the south tower as the molten metal falls from the NW corner. The visual aspect was already being discussed here...

Truthers, Consider these two statements: A - Fire can bring down steel structures buildings like Twin Towers. B - The Twin Towers collapse was a controlled demolition. It is quite possible to believe that both statements are true. If you believe that "B" is true you don't need to believe "A"...

I have found evidence for an explosion at the South Tower happening several seconds before the start of the collapse that I would like some feedback on. Quote from the official 9/11 Commission Report: "At 9:58:59, the South Tower collapsed in ten seconds". See Chapter 9.2 SEPTEMBER 11,2001...

102 Minutes That Changed America was shown again on the History Channel tonight. If you missed it you can watch the You Tube version on my blog (link below). http://911vids.blogspot.com/2010/09/102-minutes-that-changed-america.html The 9/11 Hotel about the Marriott World Trade Center that was...

The aim of this thread is to shed some light on a claim made by christopher7 (C7), formulate it as a hypothesis or theory, and make rough predictions from that theory. In particular, I want to formulate this as a Fermi problem to arrive at a rough guess (order of magnitude) for the amount of...
