And you knew that as early as 9/12/2001?
Nobody at the time thought that a fire could take the whole building down.
It looked like a perfectly planned and executed demolition job. Vertical drop of both buildings all the way to the ground.
Truther garbage.
From what I read even here on FR afterwards, it seemed that the construction of the towers hit some Eco-Whackjobs’ building code limits where they couldn’t coat the supporting inside walls/shafts with Asbestos or other non-environment-frieldly-cancer-causing-but-fireproofing substances and thus weakened the structure to any type of intense fire heat.
Someone have a link to that effect?
Don't start that crap here bro, that has been argued ad nauseum in years past.
For what it's worth, the Hudson building in downtown Detroit was demolished in 1998.
CDI’s 12 person loading crew took twenty four days to place 4,118 separate charges in 1,100 locations on columns on nine levels of the complex. Over 36,000 ft of detonating cord and 4,512 non-electric delay elements were installed in CDI’s implosion initiation system, some to create the 36 primary implosion sequence and another 216 micro-delays to keep down the detonation overpressure from the 2,728 lb of explosives which would be detonated during the demolition.
Given the size of the two towers, please tell us how the demolition experts were able to roam free throughout both towers, laying their explosives here and there and measure out the exact locations where she explosives should be placed without at least the janitor noticing their activity?
Heat is exactly what bought the buildings down. The moment you apply heat to steel you’re changing it.
