Firefighters "...made the decision fairly early on not to attempt to fight the
fires (FEMA)," so why would the fire commissioner tell Silverstein, much later in the day, "it looks like we are not going to be able to control the fires," if there was never an attempt to control them?
The question is, why were the firefighters pulled away from the building? How did they know the building would collapse when there was no scientific reason for it to collapse? Somehow they knew it would collapse, how? They warned others in the area that the building was getting ready to fall. Witnesses heard explosions and a countdown. Here is a picture of WTC 7 at around 3 p.m. with sporadic fires on 8 floors:
Firehouse.com's 9-11 Coverage: News 9/9/02 - WTC: This Is Their Storybut also we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to collapse. You actually could see there was a visible bulge, it ran up about three floors. It came down about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, but by about 2 o’clock in the afternoon we realized this thing was going to collapse.
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/20050812_WTC_GRAPHIC/Banaciski_Richard.txtYou could just see the whole bottom corner of the building was gone.
WTC 7 is the smoking gun evidence of controlled demolition.
Buildings do not fall symetrically at near free fall speed
into their own footprints for any reason other than controlled demolition.
Controlled demolition expert Danny Jowenko said it was "absolutely" a controlled demolition, and "these guys knew what they were doing."
Building 5 and 6 were closer to the WTC towers and both sustained more damage than WTC 7. Building 6 was a raging inferno, but did not collapse implosion style:
The collapse of the north tower scraped the side WTC 5, but it didn't collapse:
The leaders of the truth movement are physicists, architects, and other professionals.
According to a 2006 poll, 36% of Americans believe that some individuals in the government were involved--not exactly a lunatic fringe.
And you based your opinion on that? Do you know bin Laden isn't wanted by the FBI for 9/11, because there is no evidence linking him to it?
You think the government would have documented its involvement in 9/11? :doh
lmfao no scientific reason for the collapse? You mean like the 10 story huge hole that was ripped out of the side of the building or the raging unfought fires that had been burning for hours?
And what are you suggesting, that the FDNY was somehow in on this conspiracy to murder hundreds of their brothers?
The NIST explanation is almost done on WTC7 and guess what that means?
This is a raging fire (building 6 which did not collapse implosion style):
This is not a raging fire (WTC7 at 3:00 P.M.):
Scientifically, a building would not collapse straight down from damage on the side of it. It would topple over toward the damaged section. Ask any scientist or even a woodcutter, for that matter.
Absolutely not. The firefighters are just as puzzled about the explosions they heard as anyone:
"There was just an explosion [in the south tower]. It seemed like on television [when] they blow up these buildings. It seemed like it was going all the way around like a belt, all these explosions."--Firefighter Richard Banaciski
"I saw a flash flash flash [at] the lower level of the building. You know like when they demolish a building?"--Assistant Fire Commissioner Stephen Gregory
A conflicted firefighter describes his feelings of living every day with his WTC 7 observations in this video at 19:57-21:12:

Test Observations
Table 5–1 presents observations that were recorded during the conduct of the tests. All dimensions given are approximate since they were estimated by making observations through furnace viewports. Times were generally recorded to the nearest minute. The term “report” is used to describe a loud sound, which might be described as a “bang” or a “pop.” Because these loud reports were often accompanied by observed movement of the metal deck and the dislodging of fireproofing material, it is presumed that the reports signaled explosive spalling of the concrete. The exact location and extent of any spalling was not possible to ascertain.

10 E A buckle in the steel deck was observed. The buckle was located 1 ft west of
the center deck support angle and ran in a north–south direction. The length
of the buckle spanned from the north truss to the south truss.
12 E The steel deck was bowing downward between the bridging trusses and the

15 E & U A faint report was heard.
16 E & U A faint report was heard.
18 E & U Reports became slightly louder. There were three reports in a row, approx. 5

22 E & U Reports continued and became slightly louder.
22 E There was minor fall off of the SFRM on the top angle of the east bridging
truss. The fall off was partial and did not result in bare steel being exposed.
23 E & U Reports continued.
30 E & U Reports continued.
34 E Visual deformation of the top angles of bridging trusses was observed.
36 E There was no visual buckling of the bridging truss web members.
NIST NCSTAR 1-6B (Draft) Federal Building and Fire Safety Investigation of the WTC Disaster Fire Resistance Tests of Floor Truss Systems (Draft)
After 5 years of investigation, the chief NIST investigator for WTC7 admitted they still didn't have a handle on it.
NIST also admitted it couldn't explain the total collapse of the towers, either.
It's time for an independent investigation.
A) Yes I deny that.
B) It was not the neo-cons intent to terrorize U.S. citizens that was the intent of the terrorists.
C) Again you still have not given any true examples of privacy rights which have been taken away since 9-11 as phone records are not protected and haven't been since the SCOTUS ruling in the 1979 case of Smith V. Maryland and bank records are not protected by the 4th amendment and haven't been since the SCOTUS decision in the U.S. V. Miller case of 1976.
Yes these are raging inferno's:

And they had gone unfought from 9:30 to when the building collapsed.
Scientifically they would if the building in question was a tube in tube design and had a hole in it that extended 1/3 across the south facade and 1/4 into the interior in a building which was designed in such a way that each outer structural column was responsible for supporting 2,000 square feet (186 square meters) of floor space.
Funny then that not a single one of the thousands upon thousands of movies from that day record the sounds of explosions which one would hear in a controlled demolition that would have echoed throughout the whole ****ing city.
Now in context:
I know I was with an officer from Ladder 146, a Lieutenant Evangelista, who ultimately called me up a couple of days later just to find out how I was. We both for whatever reason -- again, I don't know how valid this is with everything that was going on at that particular point in time, but for some reason I thought that when I looked in the direction of the Trade Center before it came down, before No. 2 came down, that I saw low-leve] flashes. In my conversation with Lieutenant Evangelista, never mentioning this to him, he questioned me and asked me if I saw low-level flashes in front of the building, and I agreed with him because I thought -- at that time I didn't know what it was. I mean, it could have been as a result of the building collapsing, things exploding, but I saw a flash flash flash and then it looked like the building came down.
Q.: Was that on the lower level of the building or up where the fire was?
A: No, the lower level of the building. You know like when they demolish a building, how when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That's what I thought I saw. And I didn't broach the topic to him, but he asked me. He said I don't know if I'm crazy, but I just wanted to ask you because you were standing right next to me. He said did you see anything by the building? And I said what do you mean by see anything? He said did you see any flashes? I said, yes, well, I thought it was just me. He said no, I saw them, too.
I don't know if that means anything. I mean, I equate it to the building cowing down and pushing things down, it could have been electrical explosions, it could have been whatever.

There was an experiment conducted by the NIST in which they took replicas of the steel trusses from the WTC and heated them up and there was an unexpected result once they reached a certain temperature there was a loud bang resulting from the shattering of the concrete:
They have a preliminary finding, and a working hypothesis, and they were not investigating WTC7 for 5 years they were focused on WTC's 1&2.
That's an out and out lie.
Ya because the independent advisers who worked on the NIST report aren't enough right? How about this? Why don't you twoofers fund this independent investigation from reputable people not your group think pseudo-scholars.
Protected by What?
Maybe not the constitution, bus Federal laws regulate banking, and could provide more privacy.
Ther is no system of checks and balances to guratee your piracy of phone converfsations.
Send a Privacy Act request with you pnone numbers, see what comes back.
"Except for national securrity, which we did not search, we have no records of recording your conversations."
Where is the assurance of your privacy on your phone?
Why didn't the US Army bring in water tankers to fight the fires, like in Venezuela, where the Parke Central Tower is stil standing, becuase Venzualn Army fought the fire.
Why was the US Army out to Lunch on 9-11?
No conspiracy occured9/11 being an inside job : http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/pentagon.swf
What r yr views after seeing this video? Do u think 9/11 is an inside job? What about the views brought up by Michael Moore in his movie Fahrenheit 9/11? How many agree that 9/11 is an inside job based on his movie? Many also speculate (even architectural and civil engineers who agree it is not possible for 2 planes to bring down 3 towers, and that they were bombed from within. What do u think of this allegation? Any truth in it? How many would trust the US government after all this? How many think there is a massive cover-up in 9/11? What would be the agenda if this is true that 9/11 is an inside job by the US government? Was it all to facilitate the Iraq war for Bush's purposes?
(Not sure if this topic was posted b4, let me know if it was, I am pretty new here.)
Fahrenheit 9/11 Link : Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
Healthy skepticism, it seems, has curdled into paranoia. Wild conspiracy tales are peddled daily on the Internet, talk radio and in other media. Blurry photos, quotes taken out of context and sketchy eyewitness accounts have inspired a slew of elaborate theories: The Pentagon was struck by a missile; the World Trade Center was razed by demolition-style bombs; Flight 93 was shot down by a mysterious white jet. As outlandish as these claims may sound, they are increasingly accepted abroad and among extremists here in the United States.
It's called posse comitatus by the time we would have had permission to engage the U.S. army or the national guard from the state governor the tower would have already have fallen. That is what our fire departments are for, but IIRC they were a bit busy that day, they were fighting fires in buildings 5&6.
Furthermore; do you even have any evidence that the airforce had water tankers in range that day or that they were ordered to stand down or that anyone requested them but did not receive them?
Phone conversations are protected under the 4th amendment, the numbers that you dial are not protected by the 4th amendment.
From what I know, US Military and Forest Fire Fighers had all thier water tanker aircraft on the ground. No One even tried to get water to WTC 1, 2, 7. Everyone was just letting the buildings burn with no water to fight the fire. Ask Homeland Security Chief Chertoff, I am certain he has a scary answer for you.
The only way your phone conversations are protected is by Whistle Blowers, and they are few, and far between. The Phone Compaines just got Immunity. What mechanisms are in place to safeguard the privacy of your phone conversations? The Fisa courts are secret, and W Bush keeps them in the dark anyway.
What mechanisms are in place to prevent the POTUS from sending a squadron of black helicopters to fire hellfire missiles at your house? Look do you have any evidence at all that domestic phones are being tapped or just more conjecture and speculation?
"Do you even have any evidence that the airforce had water tankers in range that day or that they were ordered to stand down or that anyone requested them but did not receive them?"
Furthermore; what was standard procedure in this situation? Who was supposed to order them? Was there even such a procedure in place?
you need to exchange your tinfoil hat for one that protects you from being terrified by delusional fantasiesObviously since Venezuela could pour water from helicopter tankers, the US COUILD have poured water on at least Bulding 7. The US Government, under Bush and his Neocon Administrators were trying to scare Americans into War with Iraq, so a burned down building was more scary than just putting out the fire.
W Bush was successful in scaring the Americans into War with Iraq, by not even thinking of ordering water dropped from Forest Service, or military helicoptor tankers. I have never even heard a reporter, or Congressman, ask either Bush or any of his Neocon administrators, "Why didn't you order Helcoptors to drop water on WT7?"
you need to exchange your tinfoil hat for one that protects you from being terrified by delusional fantasies
if the plot failed, why are we there?You mean Congress is upoholding individual freedoms and the US is not at war in Iraq? The Neocon plot to sell War in Iraq failed? Or was nonexistant?

Watch it esp the part on 9/11 and see if it changes yr mind. Ppl heard explosions from the buildings b4 they collapsed (after the planes hit them) and ppl heard explosions in the basement of Building 7 b4 the planes hit. And I feel like getting a plane to crash into a to-be-destructed building to show that it won't fall in a pancake-style at free-fall like the way WTC towers and Building 7 did (which showed the work of explosives, not to mention the hot areas where thermamite, an explosive chemical that melts thru buildings like butter, was found under WTC towers and Building 7.) But I don't want to derail this thread. If u want to argue more of it, go to this thread to argue on 9/11 : http://www.debatepolitics.com/conspiracy-theories/33010-9-11-being-inside-job.html

what a bunch of ****ing losers
why don't u try to refute the allegations raised in the movie Zeitgeist in the vid on Post #118 on Page 12 of this thread?
dont need to see a movieAs an American, u must see this movie and find out what really happened on 9/11.
maybe because none was involvedGladiator said:Neocon Publication. No mention of Thermite.
dont need to see a movie
watched it happen live
also have an trusted expert opinion of a friend
also have a trusted expert opinion in Popular Mechanics
maybe because none was involved
