250+ Disturbing facts surrounding 9/11

[georgephillip]

I'm not question what happened to those victims, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL DEAD.....I'm not questioning why not one of the obvious thousands who would have had to have been in on a conspiracy of the scale you loops claim,have not come forward, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CONPIRACY, PERIOD!

If there is no conspiracy involving controlled demolition, Einstein, explain how WTC7 collapsed in its footprint while exhibiting free fall acceleration over eight stories and 2.5 seconds?

Easy, it didn't. The facade in one section reached freefall for 2.25 seconds. Why? Because there was nothing behind it to stop it. Trither videos almost always seem to start about 8 seconds after the east Penthouse collapses into the center of the building, why is that?

How many seconds elapsed before WTC7 collapsed into its own footprint?

It didnt collapse on its own footprint either.

 

[daws101]

you posted some of their spiritual affiliations and implied they showed some kind of agenda because of then without saying what that agenda is and yes among the three people i listed one is indeed trained in fire science..not that it would be a requirement for every member of a reinvestigation team

ah, yes it would...the agenda that would disqualify any one you name out of hand, would be the 911 for or somebodies for 911..that's the agenda.
as explained to you a million times before: a objective, nonbiased investigation could not have anyone associated with it that has a vested interested in the outcome.
you on the other hand are attempting to stack the deck.

so no one who has voiced the need for a investigation or signed a petition requesting one is qualified ???

guess you don't understand the term "vested interest" fucking typical.

I forget the complete timing now and there is so much truther BS in the way I'm not going to dig for the true timing again now, But as we all know it was about 8 seconds after the penthouse fell into the building before the facades roof line started to go.. And how does a building fall into its' own foot print by bouncing off other buildings?

Some people have said that a failure at one column should not have produced a symmetrical fall like this one. What's your answer to those assertions?

WTC 7's collapse, viewed from the exterior (most videos were taken from the north), did appear to fall almost uniformly as a single unit. This occurred because the interior failures that took place did not cause the exterior framing to fail until the final stages of the building collapse. The interior floor framing and columns collapsed downward and pulled away from the exterior frame. There were clues that internal damage was taking place, prior to the downward movement of the exterior frame, such as when the east penthouse fell downward into the building and windows broke out on the north face at the ends of the building core. The symmetric appearance of the downward fall of the WTC 7 was primarily due to the greater stiffness and strength of its exterior frame relative to the interior framing.

In a video, it appears that WTC 7 is descending in free fall, something that would not occur in the structural collapse that you describe. How can you ignore basic laws of physics?

In the draft WTC 7 report (released Aug. 21, 2008; available at WTC Disaster Study), NIST stated that the north face of the building descended 18 stories (the portion of the collapse visible in the video) in 5.4 seconds, based on video analysis of the building collapse. This time period is 40 percent longer than the 3.9 seconds this process would have taken if the north face of the building had descended solely under free fall conditions. During the public comment period on the draft report, NIST was asked to confirm this time difference and define the reasons for it in greater detail.

To further clarify the descent of the north face, NIST recorded the downward displacement of a point near the center of the roofline from first movement until the north face was no longer visible in the video. Numerical analyses were conducted to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the roofline point from the time-dependent displacement data. The instant at which vertical motion of the roofline first occurred was determined by tracking the numerical value of the brightness of a pixel (a single element in the video image) at the roofline. This pixel became brighter as the roofline began to descend because the color of the pixel started to change from that of the building façade to the lighter color of the sky.

The approach taken by NIST is summarized in Section 3.6 of the final summary report, NCSTAR 1A (released Nov. 20, 2008; available at WTC Disaster Study) and detailed in Section 12.5.3 of NIST NCSTAR 1-9 (available at WTC Disaster Study).

The analyses of the video (both the estimation of the instant the roofline began to descend and the calculated velocity and acceleration of a point on the roofline) revealed three distinct stages characterizing the 5.4 seconds of collapse:
•Stage 1 (0 to 1.75 seconds): acceleration less than that of gravity (i.e., slower than free fall).
•Stage 2 (1.75 to 4.0 seconds): gravitational acceleration (free fall)
•Stage 3 (4.0 to 5.4 seconds): decreased acceleration, again less than that of gravity


This analysis showed that the 40 percent longer descent time—compared to the 3.9 second free fall time—was due primarily to Stage 1, which corresponded to the buckling of the exterior columns in the lower stories of the north face. During Stage 2, the north face descended essentially in free fall, indicating negligible support from the structure below. This is consistent with the structural analysis model which showed the exterior columns buckling and losing their capacity to support the loads from the structure above. In Stage 3, the acceleration decreased as the upper portion of the north face encountered increased resistance from the collapsed structure and the debris pile below.

it's not that I don't make sense , it's "your" lack of intelligence that makes it seem so.
are you really this stupid?
a fair and objective investigation requires no bias from either side.
to my knowledge there is no one who is actively trying to stop an investigation.

what's not to believe as that basically what happened.it was not unnoticed
that another out right lie you're attempting to pass off as proof of your fantasy.

How did the fires cause WTC 7 to collapse?

The heat from the uncontrolled fires caused steel floor beams and girders to thermally expand, leading to a chain of events that caused a key structural column to fail. The failure of this structural column then initiated a fire-induced progressive collapse of the entire building.

According to the report's probable collapse sequence, heat from the uncontrolled fires caused thermal expansion of the steel beams on the lower floors of the east side of WTC 7, damaging the floor framing on multiple floors.

Eventually, a girder on Floor 13 lost its connection to a critical column, Column 79, that provided support for the long floor spans on the east side of the building (see Diagram 1). The displaced girder and other local fire-induced damage caused Floor 13 to collapse, beginning a cascade of floor failures down to the 5th floor. Many of these floors had already been at least partially weakened by the fires in the vicinity of Column 79. This collapse of floors left Column 79 insufficiently supported in the east-west direction over nine stories.

The unsupported Column 79 then buckled and triggered an upward progression of floor system failures that reached the building's east penthouse. What followed in rapid succession was a series of structural failures. Failure first occurred all the way to the roof line-involving all three interior columns on the easternmost side of the building (79, 80, 81). Then, progressing from east to west across WTC 7, all of the columns failed in the core of the building (58 through 78). Finally, the entire façade collapsed.

Seriously, SNORT, why would you think "thousands of people" would have been required to wire all three towers? And, btw, the only way to find an objective answer to your valid questions would be to join the call for a fully independent and public investigation into WTC7's collapse, right?

I'm not question what happened to those victims, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL DEAD.....I'm not questioning why not one of the obvious thousands who would have had to have been in on a conspiracy of the scale you loops claim,have not come forward, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CONPIRACY, PERIOD!

If there is no conspiracy involving controlled demolition, Einstein, explain how WTC7 collapsed in its footprint while exhibiting free fall acceleration over eight stories and 2.5 seconds?

Einstein jester here always closes his eyes and covers his ears anytime he hears an opposing view that doesnt go along with the governments version. No matter HOW MANY times you show him videos or links that shread to pieces the official version,he wont read them or watch them.

Einstein here obviously skipped junior high school science classes because I'll aks any junior high school student about the collapse of a tower,and they understand that the laws of physics were violated that day. Kids at that age are open minded and havent been programmed by the zionist CIA controlled media and are objective enough to understand there is something wrong with the governments version.they are not closed minded like he is and will take the time to watch videos.once they do and they see that witnesses said they heard explosions going off in the basements of the towers,they understand immediately explosives were planted in the towers unlike him.

Einstein here has no answers for the facts as well that zionist jew larry silverstein proffited in the millions at least from the attacks and that the twin towers and bld 7 ,the only buildings that collapsed that day,were alll owned by this zionist.and that there wrre other builings that had far more damage and worse fires that bld 7 yet they all remained standing.just a bizarre coincidence that those other builings that did not collapse,were NOT OWNED BY ZIONIST JEW Larry Silverstein and did not collapse but this coincidence theorist wicked jester,swallows it hook,line and sinker like the brainwashed coincidence theorist he is.
