I bought the book also. Where DID the towers go? The concrete turned to dust and did not hit the ground in large portions. I don’t know what happened, but 3 modern constructed high rises fell because of ?”fire”? The first instances in the world, and on the same day. Call me nutz, but it takes a bigger leap of faith to believe the official story than we are being lied to on a massive scale.

The fire softened the steel in the areas it was burning due to the Jet Fuel being on fire and the temperature it burns at.

It did not need to collapse the beams, what collapsed the beams on lower floors to collapse was the immense amount of weight from the upper floors dropping on them. All the beams did not collapse simultaneously, the beams collapsed as the building failed on the floor above them fell.

How much weight would 10-15 floors of the WTC center weight and what speed of descent would it take, as the floors collapsed the weight increased as more and more floors stacked up on each other and fell.

If you noticed the 2nd building hit was the first to collapse, that’s because the 2nd plane hit lower in the building and much more weight was pushing down on the weakened beams.

You might as well tell me that Muslims are peaceful, except when justifiably enraged by Jews.

So why do Muslims war against Jews, Christians, atheists, and Hindus? Who did I miss?

To me, buildings 1 and 2 collapsing like that is plausible, although over 1000 architects disagree with that.

But building 7 collapsing the way it did is preposterous.

We should know now after what FBI had been doing that our government is filled with bad bad bad people that would gladly do all this.

Back to the Future movies and 9/11.

That is rather ludicrous.   Libyan terrorists were in the news back then.

The Libyans are a group of terrorists who decide to create a nuclear weapon and solicit Dr. Emmett Brown in this project. However, Brown stole plutonium from them to operate his time machine and gave them a box full of pinball pieces in exchange. This theft is reported on TV, as seen in Emmett Brown's house.
Billy Carter Escorts Libyan Visitors
President Carter's brother Billy escorted a high-level delegation from Libya through the gold-domed capitol of Georgia today despite a snub from the mayor and a cool, arm's-length handshake from the governor.

For the Libyans, the trip to Georgia and eight other states was the beginning of a drive to erase the regime's reputation as a bankroller of international terrorism.

Libya and its president, Col. Muammar Qaddafi, is best known to Americans as a supporter of terrorists ranging from the Japanese Red Army to the Palestine Liberation Organization. Qaddafi is also a leader of Arab opposition to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's efforts to make peace with Israel.

As for the twin pines mall the film clearly states that the mall was built on land that had been a farm with a pine forest.

WTC 7 basically collapsed the same way WTC 1 and 2 collapsed, as I mentioned earlier, the NYPD emergency operations center was located in the basement of WTC 7, besides generators there was diesel fuel stored there.

The collapse of WTC 1 and 2 threw debris with force into WTC 7 which resulted in fires, those fires got hot enough causing the diesel fuel in the basement to explode upwards thru the elevator shafts.

Jet Fuel and Diesel burn at higher temperatures than regular gasoline, that fire weakened the basement and lower floors of WTC 7, with all that weight pushing down, it caused the pancaking of the building similar to WTC 1 and 2.

Look at how destructive a relatively small amount of fertilizer and diesel fuel was in Oklahoma City, it’s a miracle, that building did not collapse, it would have if the damaged had been caused by a fully loaded 757 jet plane traveling at 500 mph hit it, causing the explosion.

Now before 9/11 did elements of the government know something was going to happen, I would say absolutely they did and did nothing to stop it.

What happened afterwards was certainly used to take away the freedoms of Americans and spawned two wars that not only were unnecessary but extremely expensive in terms of money and lives.

How the buildings fell is pretty straight forward and easy to understand if you can get past how much the government was involved before and after 9/11 in hiding the truth from the public. Even if the buildings didn’t collapse it would have been a horrific terrorist attack that killed a lot of Americans, and the end result would have likely been the same.

Two giant 110 story buildings came crashing down after being hit by jets and sending flaming fuel and debris everywhere.
The impact would have wrecked the foundations from the shockwaves. Bldg 7 was on fire. The steel does not have to melt but soften to till it does not have the strength anymore as designed to hold up the load.

Nearly 3,000 dead and 11,000 wounded by the jets and the building debris.

PBS's Nova had a very good show explaining why the two main towers collapsed, and how it probably could have been prevented if they were built a couple of years later, when building codes were updated to require heat insulation on the steel hangers that supported each floor.

If I remember it correctly, the main towers had "hooks" which locked in to slots running vertically along the outer edges.

Due to the intense heat of jet fuel, the hooks were softened, lost their shape, and a whole floor collapsed on to the lower one.

Then because of the excess load from the weight of the collapsed floor, more hangars bent and floors collapsed until the building's framework failed.

Are we now allowed to discuss on Free Republic the possibility that the government lied to us about 9-11 or have the viking kitties been unavoidably delayed?

“put controlled demo charges in during construction”

Is that standard?

So, some dead guys daughter is talking about something from 40 years ago.

Sure. I would believe that. But I wonder why the thousands of people involved in the construction of the towers wouldn’t have left some testimony or evidence of this?

Handling that much explosive requires a bit of care. Where are the folks that did all that?

I know nothing more about it. I don’t even know if it’s true but it would make sense. Common sense. I’m in the medical field so I don’t know

Actually that’s a terrible idea. For one thing any system that can be accessed legitimately can be accessed illegitimately, so wiring a building to explode while constructing is just waiting for somebody to “hack” it. And then when you think about how often office buildings have internal space demoed and remodeled you’re now just asking for accidents. Then of course you’ve got the way technology changes, just by the 1980s controlled demolition was vastly different than when WTC was built. Leaving yourself “trapped” with old technology for an eventual possible demo 30, 40, 50 years in the future would just be dumb. Plus of course rats, you’d have to revisit all your wiring anyway, so there’d be no time savings.

Charles; WTC7 Everyone can do their own evaluation, but I am going with the engineers in the NIST report and say A local fire (not camp fire) can do this.

Structural steel loses strength the longer it is heated which in this case was 7 hours. This was NOT enough to cause failure in the columns, but it WAS enough to cause expansion and deformation of the floor supports on the lower level which did. (These were fabricated Truss supports NOT solid I beams.)

Excepts from the NIST report on the collapse of WTC 7. I am going with these structural engineers and their report.

NIST Final report on the Building 7 Collapse

From page 100:

"The structural design did not explicitly evaluate fire effects, which was typical for engineering practice at that time and continues to remain so today. Many of the shear connections in WTC 7 were not capable of resisting lateral loads resulting from thermal expansion effects in the steel floor framing when the floor beams were heated."

"The ASTM E119 test does not capture critical behavior of structural systems, e.g., the effect of thermal expansion or sagging of floor beams on girders, connections, and/or columns. The thermal expansion of the WTC 7 floor beams that initiated the probable collapse sequence occurred primarily at temperatures below approximately 400 °C (750 ºF). Thus, to the extent that thermal expansion, rather than loss of structural strength, precipitates an unsafe condition, thermal expansion effects need to be evaluated. The current fire resistance rating system, which does not include thermal expansion effects, is not conservative"

"The primary water supply for fire protection for the low zone, floors 1 through 20, was a direct connection to the city water mains. The secondary supply was from an automatic fire pump, which was connected to the city water main as well. • Since the city water main had been compromised as a result of the collapses of the two towers, there was no water supply to control the fires on the 7th through 13 th floors. By contrast, the early fires on the 22nd , 29th , and 30th floors may have been limited by the sprinkler system on the upper floors, whose primary water supply was from the storage tanks on the 46 th floor."

"Due to the focus on rescuing people trapped in the debris field, providing aid to the injured, and the loss of water in the hydrant system, FDNY was not able to consider the possibility of fighting the fires in WTC 7 until approximately 1:00 p.m. At approximately 2:30 p.m., FDNY gave the order to forego firefighting activity and for personnel to withdraw to a safe distance from the building"


Additional information. (Don't like his use of "conspiracy theory" term!)

Discussion of Building 7 "conspiracy theory"


Gif of trusses for WTC 1,2, and 7.

WTC 7 ; The Roof structure (containing the AC cooling and sprinkler water tanks) collapses first, but the lower levels collapse is at the bottom and and progressively to the top. (WTC 1 and 2 pancaked down...fires at top.)

GIF WTC2 showing the inward lean as the floor supports pull and collapse the exterior frame towards the center of the building. This also happened in WTC7, but in the lower levels.

Note that the additional information report discusses the contention of explosions in the building .

Note that it takes a long time to set up and initiate a controlled collapse. The wires that send the signals to the detonation charges in the explosive are running all over the place. There were fires in all three buildings but somehow the wires running to the explosive charges in 3 buildings were NOT destroyed in the heat and the explosives supposedly used were not burned or destroyed. (C4 burns...not sure about PETN or RDX). This discusses some of the explosives used to take down a CONCRETE building.

If there was a conspiracy it was in bringing and training the people who hi jacked the planes. (Oily Islamic people, The Saudis yes, Bush and the CIA...Hum...maybe.)
