9/11 third tower mystery 'solved'

Phttt! I can’t believe this is still being treated as though “REALLY IMPORTANT”.

[goldstategop]

No mystery. The fire just ate through the support columns at the floors until they weakened enough to begin a process of "pancake" collapse. The rest is explained by gravity. No conspiracy theory needed.

Structural steel, in a fire, softens, weakens, and even twists.

Anyone saying otherwise doesn’t know what they are saying.

[Dumpster Baby]

AND ........ controlled demolitions make a lot of explosion-like noises and explosion-like flashes, which no one saw or heard. The Bush Derangement Syndrome conspiracies turn my stomach.

Yep. Its a matter of applying Occam's Razor. People who look for overly complicated explanations are stupid and they should be disqualified from talking about the 9/11 Towers' demise.

....cue the conspiracy nuts now...

[Robert A Cook PE]

I would be interested in just WHO are (and what country their allegiance is to) that are members of this “Architects for Truth” group. What are their qualifications, what is their experience and how many building they've designed.

[goldstategop]

I notice even the moonbats haven't yet accused Bush of murdering the people in the buildings... if that was all part of some vast government conspiracy. A conspiracy by definition, requires a lot of people to keep the details secret and sooner than later, someone talks. We haven't heard anything, even from the Truthers, to indicate the existence of such a conspiracy.

No explanation, however well reasoned, will ever satisfy the 9/11 conspiracy nuts.

[lilylangtree]

Ah, shoot. Since the “third tower was occupied by the Secret Service, the CIA, the Department of Defence and the Office of Emergency Management, which would co-ordinate any response to a disaster or a terrorist attack”, all the occupants figured they wanted a new more secure office building and helped collapse the building.

There will always be people who think the truth is not good enough for them.

[goldstategop]

Right on! So Truther friends, if they are behind it, where are they? (sound of crickets chirping)

Dennis Leary says his NYC firefighter buddies who were there claim 1/4 to 1/3 of the lower floors of Tower 7 were decimated by debris from WTC 1 and 2.

[Dumpster Baby]

My favorite is the second massive explosion in Oklahoma City, the planted charges to take down the Murrah Building when the truck bomb failed to do that, that was never seen or heard by 100,000+ people looking in that direction, and wasn't recorded on any of the dozens of cameras aimed in that direction.

[Coffee200am]

My theory is that the 9/11 truthers knew all about the attack and planed it....

[driftdiver]

The bush haters would have us believe Bush is incompetent and has screwed up the war, the economy, the climate and so on. And yet he was able to engineer this attack/cover up without a single leak.

[goldstategop]

In both cases, how were they brought into the buildings and how could they be set off without detection? In a conspiracy, you should have witnesses to such an event. The Truthers haven't been able to come up with one person who claimed to see explosives brought into the vicinity of the target buildings.

[goldstategop]

They think Bush was the stupidest person ever to be President yet he somehow managed to co-ordinate everything that happened on 9/11. As usual, the Left doesn't notice the contradiction in its own position.
