9/11 Conspiracy

...and unlike your preferred conspiracy theory, Sayit, no matter how wildly my vivid imagination had to run amok in order to spell-out the covert demo scenario, no long-established laws of physics had to be violated in the process.

false no laws of physics were changed violated or fucked with on 911.
no matter how much you wish it to be so.
 
...no laws of physics were changed violated or fucked with on 911. ...

Wholeheartedly agreed!

Now go tell it to the government's science lackeys at NIST.

...no matter how much you wish it to be so.

There you go again claiming to know my desires. :rolleyes:

As I've told you in the past, generally speaking, I want nothing more than to believe something other than I presently do about the events of 9/11/01, but my beliefs have never been the fruition of personal preference, no matter how many more times you try to imply otherwise.

sorry only part of my post is on screen .
the other part was in this instance I agree with capstone .
AS TO NIST they followed all the protocols.

GAITHERSBURG, Maryland -- Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report, responded directly to many conspiracy claims here this morning at his press conference in NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md., which was attended by mainstream media and a handful of conspiracy theorist media, including a representative from InfoWars.com, a Web site that puts forward9/11 conspiracy theories. Sunder specifically addressed conspiracy claims linked to WTC 7. "Before I tell you what we found, I'd like to tell you what we did not find," Sunder told reporters. "We did not find any evidence that explosives were used to bring the building down. The collapse was also not due to fires from the substantial amount of diesel fuel stored in the buildings."

Here is a summary of some common 9/11 conspiracy theory claims regarding WTC 7, along with NIST's response:

Claim: "No combination of debris damage, fuel-tank explosions and fires could inflict the kind of simultaneous damage to all the building's columns required to make the building implode," says WTC7.net, a Web site dedicated to conspiracy theories. "The precision of such damage required to bring Building 7 down into its footprint was especially great, given the ratio of its height to its width and depth."
NIST report and press conference: Fire did indeed inflict enough column damage to destroy the building through a previously undocumented collapse sequence of thermal expansion. "Anyone who has run a tight jar lid under water to help loosen it knows that the metal expands when it gets hot," Sunder said. "Heat also causes steel to lose strength and stiffness. Thermal expansion occurs at temperatures much lower than those required to reduce steel strength and stiffness." The report found that as WTC 7's steel beams expanded in the heat, numerous structural connections throughout the building failed. That weakened the structure even before the collapse of any vertical columns.

Claim: The shape of the building's tidy pile of wreckage is consistent with a demolition, conspiracy theorists say.
NIST report and press conference: Sunder agrees that the wreckage was tidy and explained why. "If you look at columns 79, 80 and 81 [three of the building's central columns], the floor area that they're carrying is very large--particularly column 79, which was carrying about 2000 sq. ft. of floor area." Column 79 was the first column to fail. "It was an interior column that failed, followed by two more interior columns [80 and 81], then east to west. So what you're seeing is an interior collapse, then to the outside. What you're getting is an impression of a controlled demolition, but it's not."

Claim: The way the building fell was caused by demolition or thermate. (Thermate is thermite mixed with sulfur and sometimes other chemicals, which produces brief but intense and highly localized incendiary effects.)
NIST report and press conference: Sunder said that his team investigated these hypothetical causes and ruled them out. "We asked ourselves what is the minimum amount of charge we could use to bring the building down," he said. "And we found that even the smallest charge would release an extremely loud sound heard half a mile away." There were no reports of such a sound; numerous observers and video recordings found the collapse to be relatively quiet.

Prominent conspiracy theorist Steven Jones and others have suggested that thermate could have been inserted into a column, exploding the column without the loud boom of a demolition. Sunder said his team considered that theory. "In order for the thermate reaction to melt steel to take place, there has to be materials. If you look at the amount needed--at least 100 pounds for one column--you need someone to get that amount in the building, and place it, and for the reaction to take place. It is unlikely."

Claim: At the press conference, theorists questioned why NIST had just now found a previously undocumented cause of building collapse.
NIST report and press conference: The particulars of WTC 7's design contributed to the thermal expansion. WTC 7 had floor spans up to 54 ft. long. "Longer beams can be subject to proportionally greater expansion effects," Sunder noted. "Other tall buildings have burned for as long or longer in similar fires without collapsing--when sprinklers either did not exist or were not functional. So we knew from the beginning of our study that understanding what happened to Building 7 on 9/11 would be difficult. It did not fit any textbook description that you could readily point to and say, yes, that's why the building failed." The issue, Sunder said, was that buildings are not typically tested for their structural response to fire.

Claim: The minimal wreckage available for later investigation has generated speculation. Some conspirators point to the fast removal of debris as evidence of a government coverup.
NIST report and press conference: Compared to WTC 1 and 2, NIST had very little WTC 7 wreckage to study. The site was cleared quickly in a search-an- rescue effort, and much of the debris was transported to salvage yards. "There was no loss of life," Sunder noted. "In hindsight, we knew that the building was evacuated. But we didn't know that on that day." Hundreds of investigators at the salvage yards later found that the Twin Towers' steel columns were labeled and numbered, while the columns from Towers 5, 6 and 7 were not. "I am not surprised that there wasn't a lot of identifiable debris," Sunder said. "But at the time, we were concerned about terrorists who attacked our country and search and rescue. I think the fact that they [invesigators] didn't collect [wreckage] was the least important activity that happened that day."

Claim: Many theorists have suggested that the long delay in an explanatory report is further proof of a government coverup.
NIST and press conference: NIST first had to complete the investigation on the collapse of the Twin Towers and publish its report before turning to WTC 7. The Twin Towers report was released in September 2005. "We thought we might be able to do things much quicker and faster because of our tower experience," Sunder said. "I think we underestimated the amount of effort that would be required to answer the questions that we raised." In addition, new computer models of the collapse had to be created. "A typical fire simulation for a single floor of the building took up to two days with a state-of-the-art cluster of Linux computers. We had computer programs that took six to eight months to get a correct run, and we wanted to make sure we got this right. And three years is not an unusual length of time." Sunder emphasized that previous reports were preliminary and provisional. "We didn't have the insight that thermal expansion could have happened until early last year," Sunder said. "After that it was smooth sailing." Until last year, NIST was still investigating other hypotheses, including whether the building's location on top of an electric substation played a critical role and whether 6000 gal. of diesel fuel used to power backup generators in the building directly weakened the columns. Both hypotheses were abandoned.

Sunder classified the report's conclusions as "simple, straightforward, elegant and going along with what was observed. I would say that the findings we have are incredibly conclusive that fire is why WTC 7 collapsed."

Here are some examples, of burning skyscrapers from around the world, that did not collapse, despite the fact that they suffered fires that burned longer, and engulfed more square footage of the structure.

How many of them were slammed by large passenger jets at hundreds of mph?
 
The Popular Mechanics report is a whitewash and has more holes in it than WTC7 did.

Sooo ... you're saying the peeps at Pop Mechs were in on some 9/11 whitewash?Consider for a moment just how many would have to have been part of your CT from planning to execution to investigation to cover-up. Then consider that NO ONE has whispered a word. Remarkable, eh?

People have talked, and wound up dead. Barry Jennings is one of many examples.

WTC7 didn't get hit by a plane.

Sorry ... I didn't realize 7 was the subject. So how many of your skyscrapers were hit by large chunks of other buildings from hundreds of feet in the air?
 
I am not saying Pop Mech was in on the conspiracy, but that article was a propaganda piece. The press does what the press does. Doesn't take much to push an agenda. But much of that article is factually incorrect, or simply doesn't address relevant material. I could give some examples I suppose.

NIST says fire brought down the building, not debris damage. But they have no data to back up their position anyway. Many buildings suffered far worse damage. Take a look at the pics in the article I linked.

Jennings offered no proof of a conspiracy. People die and Barry Jennings PASSED AWAY in 2008, seven years after 9/11 without providing any compelling evidence on the events of 9/11.

He died just before he was about to testify under oath about what he saw. His account was corroborated by the other man in the building with him. Jennings death has never been explained. Someone claiming to be his son came onto a message board and said he died of cancer, but we have no way of authenticating that claim. His account contradicts official accounts and shows that there were explosions in the building before the towers collapsed. He also saw bodies, which officially no one died in 7.

But you can't give any proof of a controlled CT on any of the WTC buildings which is where the "Truther" Movement runs into a wall. So what was Pop Mech's agenda?

Not their agenda really. They were just paid or instructed to put that story out there thats all.

You don't have to prove a conspiracy to know that we were lied to.

If you are claiming 9/11 was something other than the official findings, you will indeed need to post your proof. For instance, you just claimed Pop Mech was "just paid or instructed to put that story out" but you forgot to post your evidence for such an outrageous charge.
