"THE TOWER IS LEANING" declares the New York City policeman, ordering everyone to leave the area. This was the word passed down to all police officers in the area.
This ABC News clip broadcast on 9/11, PROVES ABSOLUTELY there was NO controlled demolition of the World Trade Center Twin Towers.
The North Tower started to buckle several minutes before it collapsed.
Controlled demolition is instantaneous. Explosives would cause the building to fall imemdiately. In fact, the speed of collapse is claimed as evidence of controlled demolition.
"The Tower is LEANING" the police see, several minutes before collapse.
The police could see that the tower was coming down before it started moving.
Then a bystander says he saw the tower buckling before collapse. Explosives did NOT bring down the WTC Twin Towers.
The North Tower was leaning and buckling for SEVERAL MINUTES before it gave way.
This (and every other detail) is totally unlike any controlled demolition.
....and I might add need to be brought up on sedition charges.
The towers were specifically built to collapse straight down in case of catastrophe so that they wouldn’t fall over and destroy surrounding buildings. They acted just as they were supposed to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is absolutely correct, although with some clarification. I asked my architect friend Karl C about this, and he spent most of his time spitting nails about how the 9/11 Truthers are evil and I should have nothing to do with them.
But when I got him to focus, he expalined that ALL modern office buildings are designed with “LOAD-SHIFTING’ features that distribute the load around the buiding horizontally.
THe purpose however is to resist collapse and to hope that either the occupants will have more time to escape or the buiding might not fall. But a side effet of this design is that WHEN the building collapses, the weight is focused down the centerline.
Example: When one side of the buiding was damaged, the twin towers did not collapse. EVERYONE was able to evacuate the twin towers except those trapped above the fires and the firefighters trying to help them.
The “load shifting” design bought the 50,000 people who worked there the time to escape.
The damaged side of the building is held up by the undamaged sides (they were damaged by fire, but I mean initially). The load is shifted horizontally around the building. That is how the damaged side was able to stand up from 9:03 to 9:58 AM in one tower and 8:45 to 10:28 AM in the other tower.
Traditionally, an older design for a building would have simply collapsed on the damaged side immediately, and the rest of the building would have followed.
The goal is the hope that the building will stay up. But a consequence of this load-shifting is that WHEN the building is overwhelmed, the building fails EVERYWHERE across the horizontal cross-section. If not, it would still stay up. It resits as long as it can.
So the design of EVERY floor, each floor considered independenty, focuses the collapse down the centerline like a lens or a funnel. Each floor is TRYING to resist the collapse by shifting the load and bearing up the load across the horizontal cross-section.
So, as my architect friend sputtered in frustration, the collapse that we saw on 9/11 is INEVITABLE and unavoidable.
Furthermore, it is a MYTH that the collapses were as neat as claimed.
The fact is that 95% of the debris fell outside the footprint. The collapse was actually very messy. The building did fall down the centerline. But it was incredibly sloppy and nothing at all like any controlled demolition.
more evidence that ABC News is part of the vast right-wing conspiracy.
Good post, thanks for the info.
The mass of the upper portions of the towers was too great for this to happen. The upper portion mostly stayed intact but the momentum it gained in the fall was much too great for the lower portion of the building to handle. The entire top fell down as a unit and crushed straight through the lower portion of the buildings, like the world’s largest sledgehammer. The top of the bottom portion couldn’t support something that enormous crashing down all at once, so it didn’t fall over, but instead rotated somewhat on its way down, though not a lot as the rotational momentum was slowed by the presence of the lower portion of the building, which could not support a falling body of such mass and was obliterated.
His dad is a nut, too. Apple-tree...etc.
We’re supposed to believe that Bush and Cheney are incompetent. Unable to even read a childrens book.
And yet they engineered 9/11 and kept anyone involved from talking.
oh and created the first instance in history where fire melted steel.
a dvd i saw called, i think, Witness Hoboken, has some interesting footage in it, showing with very good audio and vid synchronization, several loud explosions near the bottom of the tower, seconds before the collapse starts...
it is fascinating as it has never been shown on any other broadcast ive seen....
i think it stuff such as this that allows folks to think the worst....
the dvd covers the beginning to the end...including a running live broadcast of a ny radio station, basically blow by blow with the tv coverage, disturbing, frightening, enraging...etc...
good quality too....i would recommend it just to see what you are up against...
I was home, recovering from a work injury. I had got in the habit of doing internet while watching Fox and Friends, though I hadn’t found FR yet.
I was watching when E.D. Hill said that there was news of a small plane hitting the WTC, and the reportage of this “accident” continued until the second plane went in. I knew, then, and I think so did everyone else. I called my mother, who lives elsewhere in the state, after the second plane to get her to turn on the TV, and we called back and forth a couple of times during the morning.
My sister, who lived in Finland at the time, was visiting our mother; they had just been to visit me, and my sister had brought one of her Finnish friends to try to match up with me (it didn’t take, and she and I are happily wed to others today), and they were back at Mom’s, getting ready to fly back to Finland on the 12th (which obviously didn’t happen...they got out 3 or 4 days later).
This friend was a structural engineer by trade. During either the first or second call, before it happened, she said “those buildings will fall; they cannot stand.” We asked “how will they fall?” Fearing for those caught under them falling like trees. “Probably straight down,” she said. So when it happened we were not terribly surprised, and I was immunized against all of the “deliberate demolition” conspiracy theories before they appeared.
An explosion is really nothing more than an instantaneous release of energy. Most people (including me) can’t fully comprehend the amount of energy stored in a structure as large as the WTC. But, a good way to think of it is by comparing it to a giant sheet of ice. If you have ever heard and felt a 2 foot thick layer of ice you are standing on crack (It’ll make you pucker), you have a microscopic understanding of what was happening inside the WTC before the collapse. So, were there secondary “explosions”. No doubt, but not the kind made my bombs. They were the kind made by the building cracking apart from the inside.
LMAO!!!
Maybe next, ABC can report about how they can “prove” the earth is not flat after all.
Better yet, maybe they’ll sic one of their crack journalists on the Ubama birth story.
Nothing could be more idiotic than the controlled demolition theory here.
why are all the smart people here in Freeperville?
Charlie Sheen never graduated from high school. He was expelled for poor grades and attendance. ‘Nuff said.
There’s nowhere else left to go. ;^)
