I love my commenters. It let’s me know that people are reading. And that, among all things in life, is the greatest feeling in the world. I love it especially when commenters leave messages that attempt to disprove the 9/11 conspiracy theory. I’m not talking about those, “You’re a dumbass! what are you crazy of course 9/11 was terrorist! you hate america…” comments. I’m talking about the open-minded and respectful people who want to lean more and perhaps have a discussion. I got one yesterday,
Compare the collapse of WTC building 7 as shown in the video
http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/releases/wtc_videos/wtc_videos.html
with the collapse as modeled by NIST in their own document
http://wtc.nist.gov/media/NIST_NCSTAR_1-9A_for_public_comment.pdf
page 108, figure 4-62.
In the video the exterior vertical walls, except for the start of a single vertical wrinkle, remain connected to and supported by the large number of perimeter columns and retain their rectangular shape until late in the collapse. In NIST’s theoretical model the exterior columns almost immediately buckle inwards over the building.
Watch the video. I mean it. Watch the video. It had me doubting there for a second. The bomb statistic had me the most. But then I stopped, and read the link: NIST.gov. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is a government agency. At first I thought they were independent. Perhaps I was fooled by the opening lines. The narrator admits that no steel framed-building in history has fallen due to fire, which made me think automatically, that they were on our side. It was a tricky tactic, I’ll give them props on that one.
I watched the video several times, and the facts presented are inconsistent with anything even close to being somewhat fact. They contradict history. They tell us that some new way of building collapse occurred. I’m sorry to say, physics doesn’t just invent new ways of building collapse. Steel framed buildings all fall the same way when presented with fire: they don’t. The variable is unchanging.They tell us that the bombs would have been louder if it had been controlled demolition. Lots of bombs, especially in controlled demolition, are not that loud. I can’t hear them when witnessing a controlled demolition, and I can’t hear them on videos.
The point is, don’t believe everything you hear. Back up your information and research what you read.
