Most Americans have watched dozens of slow motion building demolitions on TV.
To my eye, the close up slow motion films of the two WTC’s going down looked exactly like every other planned implosion I ever watched.
For weeks after 9-11, I assumed the terrorists had used explosives to trigger the collapse of both buildings.
Only after I learned that the intense heat from the jet fuel fire could soften and weaken uninsulated steel did I completely change my mind.
One thing does still mystify me about the implosion theory.
If it really did happen that way, why do so many people think the USA government did it, and not the terrorists?
Wow, I like those videos, too, but I never compared them to a planned implosion and still dont. In one shot, you can see the first tower tilt before the smoke pushes out from the collapsing floors above
I am just surpsised at how many idiots dont know that hot steel is not as strong as cold steel regardless of whether it is melted or not.
To me it didn't look anything like a controlled demolition. Controlled demolitions are usually from the bottom up, and you can clearly see it happening before the mass of the structure falls on it's own footprint. That was not evident with towers at all. In fact, it was pretty obvious that it was a top down collapse.
I'm not an engineer, so I don't know what words to use to describe the effects, but to me, it doesn't look anything like the controlled demolitions I've seen...
Effects were similar, but instead of needing any explosives, the fire would have been enough to weaken the steel supporting the massive weight of building above it, thus the pancake effect.
WTC 7 seemed strange to me, though, with neither aircraft impact nor fire to weaken structural elements.
Maybe someone can explain that one to me.
I;m no 'troofer', but I am curious.
Because it happened under Bush and not Gore.
Those same people would have fully accepted 9/11 had Gore been president.
Likewise, an entirely different group would have believed it to be staged if Gore was president.
Remember all the black helicopter stuff during Clinton?
Both sides have conspiracy nuts and they need to be marginalized or the entire movement gets painted with their drool.
Here is the definitive report by engineers who were there. Concise, no-nonsense report on why the towers collapsed.

It was a demolition and the government used top secret stealth explosives.
I thought the jets brought down the towers, too, but the noted metallurgical expert Rosie O'Donnell pointed out that this was the first time in history that fire had melted steel, so I'm back to being a 9/11 truther.
