Controlled demolition?
Claim
Steven E. Jones and other so-called "Scholars for 9/11 Truth" have purported that the impact of aircraft hitting the World Trade Center and the resulting fires were insufficient to cause the collapse of the World Trade Center. They argue that pre-planted explosives must have been used to cause controlled demoltion and collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers.
Fact
* The collapse of the World Trade Center twin towers initiated where the planes hit the buildings. Controlled demolitions always are initiated at the bottom of a building, to take advantage of maximum gravity forces.
* If the World Trade Center collapsed due to controlled demolition, as the theory goes, the explosive charges would have had to survive the crash of airplanes into the buildings. (at ~500 miles per hour)
* When a controlled demolition occurs, you hear the very loud and very distinct sound of the charges going off. These will repeatedly go off, in a quick, regular pattern, for 10+ seconds prior to the structure collapsing. While some people heard what "sounded like an explosion" at the World Trade Center, this is not what they heard or described. Nor is any such sound of demolition charges going off heard in any videos of the collapse.
* The detonations in a controlled demolition go off in a very regular pattern, not at all like the random squibs seen on 9/11. Those squibs are the result of pockets of air (the building is ~70% air in volume) being collapsed, with pulverized gypsum (drywall) and other material being forced out.
* Blasting caps, detonating cord, and other such evidence were not found in the World Trade Center debris.
The only problem with the idea of 'molten aluminum' is the color... you can melt aluminum and still have it with a 'silvery' colour.
The PROOF is in the PHYSICS of the collapse.
Do this yourself so you don't have to take my word for it:
1 - Search 'controlled demolition' video
2 - Find the stats on that particular building (most important heigh / number of floors
3 - Count the time from the initiation of collapse (the second that the building begins to fall inward) and stiop counting once the rumbling stops (since dust will prevent you from seeing this moment)
4 - Do the same with either WTC building
5 - Now calculate the rate of collapse (distance / seconds or floors / second)
6 - Compare the results from a KNOWN controlled demolition vs a 9-11 demolition
This result is PROOF that the WTC REQUIRED explosives to collapse ... WHy?
Conservation of energy : All the energy used in a 'system' is constant. In the example of 9-11 the energy = Gravity - energy pushin outwar - friction from pushing THROUGH the solid untouched structure found in at least 80 stories of the building. Whereas a controlled demolition would have Energy = Gravity + explosives - friction (which would have been reduced through the use of explosives)
So, if the 2 rates of collapse are the same (Or comparable even) then you have proven through the use of physics that there is no real way the WTC buildings COULD have collapsed withuot wither a hidden force pushind down on the wtc buildins, or a hidden force pushing debris outward.
Since the dream pool tends to ignore this point repeatedly I don't expect a rebuttal for this, buit still.... here it is AGAIN for you to ignore.
Kevin Ryan who represented the "Underwriters Union" which is the company that certifies the steel components in the Twin Towers flat out told Frank Gayle head of the NIST Report that "the report is WRONG and the TOWERS SHOULD HAVE EASILY STOOD"!
Kevin Ryan lost his job and is now part of the 9/11 Truth Movement...

I never said 'fell at free fall speeds' I said Speed compared to speed because even controlled demolitions do NOT fall at free-fall speeds because of the minuses in the equation.
You should probably read the thread or at least the OP instead of just the thread title.
Yeah I should have not used Kevin Ryans name because there are many more credible people who say 9/11 was a made up scheme.
I knew you would only focus on discrediting him instead of seeing the contents of the countless witnesses that heard, felt, saw, and survived other bombs going off.
These tons of witnesses are only one point I am making to show that there should have been a thorough investigation at the crime scene.
Of all crimes why would they have illegally cleaned up one of the most significantly important ever and quickly ship to China.
I never said 'fell at free fall speeds' I said Speed compared to speed because even controlled demolitions do NOT fall at free-fall speeds because of the minuses in the equation.
This point is irrelevent since the physics of the collapse states in no uncertain terms that either some hidden force was pushing towards the earth, or pushing outward, or that there were explosives in the building to do that.... so, if you'd rather believe in magic, that's you're prerogative. I prefer to live in the world of reality... and the reality of the matter is that a building collapsing @ 0.05 seconds per floor THROUGH the steel structure is the rate of collapse you would expect if the only resistance pushing through a destroyed structure.
Ya... I posted in that thread throughout the discussion.... the numbers the OP in that thread provided was 15 and 22 seconds (or 6 and 11 seconds of resistance / friction / slowing the collapse down compared to free-fall without friction)
Which means in 110 stories between 0.05 and 0.1 seconds of resistance per floor... when I calculated the rate of collapse and figured out those numbers in a known controlled demolition guess what I came up with ?? the result was 0.08 seconds per floor of resistance (after explosives took out the structural elements).
So, yes... I catch your point... but it proves NOTHING.
So given this, are you saying that every floor was rigged with explosives? I always thought that the theory was that the core was rigged and the weight of the floors without the structural integrity caused the collapse and brought down the structure. What you are saying is that the resistance of the floors wasn't equal to what they would have been had explosives not been used
Is this correct? I am not trying to use a strawman argument, just seeing if I understand you.
Now I remember why I stopped posting about this; because you dismiss irrefutable evidence when presented, and are unable to construct coherent posts.:doh
Because proving that the collapse took longer than free-fall speed without even attempting to consider friction in any form is fallacy and/or strawman in itself.
I'm sorry that in dumbing down what I'm saying is still somewhat complicated... or attempting to reiterate the point that you're missing. Especially when I USED your 'irrefutable evidence' to prove my point... what more do you want??
Ya... sorry that talking about 'science' and 'physics' makes things sound 'incoherent' but I've tried 20 different ways to explain the same point that you keep adding 'irrefutable evidence' that is irrelevent to the point at hand. I'm done with speculating on the how it happened... when the point of the matter is that it happened, and the official version of events doesn't even make sense on a level that even a high school student could figure out.
That's even to go without mention that Cheney was involved in the creation of the document that called for these attacks to take place, that other similar government documents describe a similar means to a similar end, without getting into any 'theory' of how this was achieved...
Am I the only one that missed the "Proof"?
You have to be smart enough to understand it. I don't qualify either.
I must be severely limited then, not only did I not understand it, I didn't even see it. :shock:
yeah, that means you're dumber than a box full of hair. Oh well, we always have our twilight years to look forward to, watching reruns of Gilligan's Island and drooling on ourselves.
problem is that you have never proven anything regarding your case, you take a ton of circumstantial stuff and toss around some numbers and say "THERE!"
The PROOF is in the PHYSICS of the collapse.
Do this yourself so you don't have to take my word for it:
1 - Search 'controlled demolition' video
2 - Find the stats on that particular building (most important heigh / number of floors
3 - Count the time from the initiation of collapse (the second that the building begins to fall inward) and stiop counting once the rumbling stops (since dust will prevent you from seeing this moment)
