...not so quick.
There are lots of idiots pointing to the systematic collapsing of the floors as if they had been imploded with explosives. To me this is one of their key cornerstone and basis for their arguments. I think it is entirely possible simply for the reason we have been employing them as janitors for years. It is VERY conceivable that they loaded up the buildings to coincide with the greater attack thereby insuring the trade centers did come down with huge loss of life.
The muslim conspiracists want to blame the CIA. They want more self doubt in place. It’s a beautiful propaganda tool.
ME? I’ll blame the muslim janitors who had carte blanch access to the towers.
and
I’ll blame each and every one of obama’s supporters.
What you had were several thousand degree fires causing the girders to give way. It’s my understanding that these towers had been built to sustain a 727 hit. They weren’t built to sustain a 747 hit fully loaded with fuel.
The construction of two towers was unusual. The exterior of the building actually tied into the structure allowing them to avoid using other types of support. Once one floor went, other pancaked.
You have to realize the weight of those structures above where the 747s impacted the buildings. Once those began to pancake, the weight couldn’t be stopped crashing down floor by floor.
Part of the reason why those floors looked like charges had been set is because as each floor collapsed, there was a massive rush of air out of the structure on each floor due to compression. This resembled explosions at each level. It wasn’t.
Close a book in your home. Note the air escaping as you close it. Same thing, bigger scale.
I would urge you to go slow with this.
The reason the buildings looked like they were collapsing is because the buildings were collapsing. That’s what buildings look like when they collapse. There’s nothing “systematic” about it as far any other contributing forces. The collapses of both buildings clearly start from the point of impact from the planes, from them burning at thousands of degrees for a period of time, and from no other point in either of the buildings. Indeed, the building that had been burning the longest actually started collapsing second because the point of impact was higher, so there was considerably less weight above the point of impact.
You have no idea how hard it is to set explosives to bring a building down do you.
Ask any big city firefighter about truss construction and fires.... To a man they’ll say something along the lines of “No trust in truss”.
The twin towers’ fate was sealed during their construction due to hyperventilating econuts and the epa who demanded that the fire retardant be changed to a ecologically “safer” (IE less effective) one.
Another point, at the time the WTC was first designed, the largest plane in common use was the 707, and the design parameters was for a 707 hitting at slow speeds.
Third, the terrorists used west bound flights for a reason. That reason is because they’re loaded with thousands of pounds of additional fuel due to the fact that they’ll be flying against the jet stream (prevailing winds at cruise altitude). More fuel = bigger bang.
I could go on and on but cold hard facts are beyond the grasp of the mentally challenged who make up the conspiracy wing nuts.
