those pesky fires!

Why don't you answer the question? Do you think because there are no flames shooting out the windows there is no fire? Well?



What i see and is clearly pointed out is the almost 'symmetrical' explosions blasting out the windows, immediately prior to the 'symmetrical' collapse.

There is no sign of a raging fire, there were fires in the buildings and conveniently in the sections where inportant documents such as the enron case and other debarcles were held.

It fell in 4.5 seconds and straight down, the core fell before the outer core, and there is not a fire to be seen from that angle just before the collapse.

If fire was the reason, would there not be at least some traces of a inferno? at least, or do core columns simutainously give way due to random fires often?

:D

Ted Olsen was (at the time) a 61 year old man (9/11 is actually his birthday) with a law degree who hadn't been in school for 30 years. The finer points of wireless communication eluding him does not arouse my suspicion. I guess once the footage from the Citgo Station and the Doubletree hotel was made publicly available, something you folks were ravenous for, I guess you had to move on to something else.

But, speaking of doing research, if you're going to post things like this you might want to check and see if the person you're promoting has recanted his story.

My favorite quote on that page is the following...

Quote

Does this evidence, that Flight 77 did have seat-back phones, mean that we must infer that Barbara Olson’s alleged call to Ted Olson really occurred? Of course not. All the reasons that had previously been given for doubting it still hold.



...except the one about... well, you know... the phones not being there.

How asinine do these arguments have to get for you to give up on them? That's a serious question. And what is he even arguing anymore? That we don't know for sure whether they used knives or box cutters?

Neither. I am posting to amuse myself. I have no desire to "contribute" to something you feel devoted to as strongly as others feel devoted to their god.

No, I'm not. Neither are you. And what that means is that, at the end of the day, our respective opinions (as expressed on a skydiving website) mean exactly the same - nothing.

>wake up!

If posting conspiracy theories here amuses you, then by all means, continue to do so. If you feel that you are fighting for some sort of cause, that posting conspiracy theories, insults and putdowns on a skydiving site that almost no one reads is going to accomplish something, I'd suggest that _you_ wake up - and perhaps spend your time doing something useful instead.

Want to actually accomplish something for your cause? Get an advanced degree in mechanical engineering and do some studies on steel strength in fires. Determine how a simple gasoline fire can bring down a steel bridge. Figure out how hot such fires can get with various fuels, and do some experiments to validate your hypotheses. Do all that, and you might actually influence someone's opinion on the topic.

Or just post and have fun.

O.k. here is there answer;

http://911debunkers.blogspot.com/2009/04/steven-jones-tells-911-debunkers-to-put.html

UNLESS AN OBJECTOR ACTUALLY PUBLISHES HIS OR HER OBJECTION IN A PEER-REVIEWED ESTABLISHED JOURNAL (yes that would include Bentham Scientific journals), THEN THE OBJECTION IS NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS IN THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY. YOU SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT NON-PUBLISHED OBJECTIONS EITHER.



Your debunkings are simply conjured up and have no scientific value.

First the scientific method should be used and then conclusion drawn.

Conclusions come at the end of a scientific experiement, not the beginning.

I will invite you one more time. The FDNY hockey team will be in SoCal in February. Many of them were there on 9/11. Come on down and say hi.



I am in Australia, are you buying the plane tickets?

Or how about you simply contribute their beliefs here for us all to discuss, are they suffering from respartory illness yet?

If so are they getting compensation?

Many are dead, dying or sick and your government ignores their needs, they are heros too, are they not?

I would be interested to know what your FDNY 'hockey team' think of that?

I Play centre and left wing, I'd be keen for a game though!;) and I prefer Emirates if you are buying me plane tickets! Should I bring my gear bag?:D

Sorry to disappoint you, but I did not produce, edit, post or otherwise involve myself with those videos.

Are you EVER going to answer the question as to whether you think lack of fire shooting out the windows means no fire?
If you, or any of your idiot friends, knew anything at all about the use of explosives to bring down a building you would know that there is a substantial delay from when the charges go off until the structure noticeably starts to collapse. The puffs of dust/smoke coming from the windows as the structure was failing were caused by air pressure from the collapse, not any charges or detonations. People who work with these products and services for a living have stated that over and over, yet you and the rest of the uneducated self-professed "experts" believe the laws of physics were broken that day and claim sabotage.

As far as experiments first, conclusion last....you are absolutely correct! :) So why don't you practice what you preach? You want there to have been a conspiarcy by the US government and so you twist fact, ignore facts and simple laws of physics, and proclaim what you want to believe is the truth. Problem for you is this: 99.9% of the world is smart enough not to believe you.

:D:D

I cannot beleve you re an engineer!!

Did you watch the recently released video that I posted earlier in this thread, if air pressure broke those windows that blow out.

Don't confuse regular controlled demolition wuth 9/11, as much a 9/11 was controlled demolition, no building 'on record' has been imploded in the wa\y the twin towers were.

eeeeeeeeh, wrong!:D

These experiemnts and conclusions and hypothesies have already been done, and published, it is your neglect to acknowledge or understand them that results in your ignorant opinion.

Where is your logic engineer guy.

You agree with the scientific method but don't think it os applicable here?

As you wish. People here have tried to help you understand but you choose ignorance over facts.

BTW, I asked you a question a long, long time ago that you never acknowledged. I'll ask again.
Do you know what happens to steel at app. 700 degrees C? If you don't you can't possibly pose an intellgent argument against those who do when the collapse of the towers and #7 are concerned.

oh oH Oh OH what happens to steel at 700C/1250f?

We heated up some structural steel at work to try and stress relieve it and straighten it..... wanna guess how hot it got?
wanna know what happened???
I would love to here your theory because it sure didnt do what our imagineer thought it would do

Of course us welders who actually apply these theories know different:P

Let's see...it got to whatever temperature you heated it to. Tell me what the steel was, sizes, weld procedure, joint design, etc. plus the temp you heated it to and I'll tell you what happened.
I know what happens to steel at 700C. I imagine Bill does and I know Kallend does. Probably several others here as well. Are you one of them?

depending on the carbon content of the steel at 700c the steel will change to an austnite crystal makking it much more likely to fail. Failure is mostly likely to happen in a heat affected zone(somewhere that has already been welded)

Close enough on the change to austenite. However, if failure occures near a welded region it is not because of the HAZ since in most cases all regions of the HAZ will have been nearly all austenized. Failure in the weld area would be caused by discontinuities in the cross section of the weld, i.e. undercutting. Excessive weld bead can also lead to stress concentration at the toe of the weld.
911 conspiricy theorists ignore the fact that steel only needs to get to a few hundred degrees C to lose a major portion of it's strength.

So yes steel is more likely to fail above 700c. But how do you explain what happened to the steel in this picure?

Where it is very obvious that the steel has been cut by something.

http://911nwo.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/thermate-wtc.jpg



Yes, it appears to have been cut with either an oxy-fuel torch or a carbon arc torch. There was a lot of that going on after the buildings came down to facilitate recovery attempts and cleanup.

If I was able to see a close up of the cut I could tell you exactly what was or wasn't used to cut this steel. But by the amount of slag still left pn the steel im willing to bet it wasn't cut using oxy-fuel or carbon arc. These processes tend to blow the slag away from the cut, not let it run down the side of the steel being cut.

undercutting. Excessive weld bead can also lead to stress concentration at the toe of the weld.


Both of which would be a substandard weldment and would not pass QC



Some undercutting is usually allowed. AWS, ASME, etc. all specify how much. Also, depending on the design, a weld fillet can be specified as concave, flat, or convex. How concave or convex is called out in the weld specifications.
