>>3197790

Why would there be? Obviously the building took the initial impact of the plane, the horizontal force if you will. After that it's just gravity pulling the building down. No forces horizontally involved to cause a lopsided collapse. (I'm assuming by that you mean that the top half should've just tipped over)

Presuming that planes hijacked by terrorists with boxcutters (who kept an entire plane full of americans at bay with said boxcutters) actually toppled the buildings, why were training exercises set up for that day to keep all possible interception jets out of range, and even when assistance was offered were told to keep away from the city as it was part of a "training exercise"?

Because shooting passenger jets down is such a popular method of dealing with shit. Especially over a very crowded city. Now, what could the fighter jets have done?

The planes were hijacked and smashed into the buildings shortly after take off and the passengers had no reason at the time to assume that the plane would be smashed into buildings and therefore, if they just listened to the crazy people, they had a better chance of being OK. If you notice, once people were told the planes were being used as missiles and there wasn't much hope for survival, they did fight back. Or are you selectively forgetting that one?

anyone who believes that a skyscraper would crumble into dust as it collapsed because of anything other than a directed scaling energy weapon directed at is a complete fool.

it wasn't destroyed by controlled demolition or as a result of the burning jet fuel (which mostly burned up within the first 3-5 minutes of the explosion at the very most).

the buildings don't merely fall at free fall speed: they are pushed towards the ground into their own foot print and dissolving into powder (both steel and concrete) on the way down.

it is a shame how low the quality of the dialogue is about this particular subject on either side of the fence: the main reason being that in order to understand the true magnitude of the effects that were observably in play on that date require a fairly advanced understanding of material science and theoretical physics well beyond that of even a typical university education.

i am no longer convinced that it is important that we truly understand the mechanism at play on that particular date, and its relationship to many more recent contemporary "disasters". i see this as a decisive evolutionary marker for each and every individual on the planet. how you see reality specifically informs which direction you are growing towards, and whether you get caught up in the unofficial "conspiracies" or the official doctrine one is enslaved to their particular viewpoint.

it is clear to me that the world is a much stranger place than most of us are willing to admit, and i for one am well aware of my ignorance. i am here to observe and learn, not to make definitive assertions about reality. as it stands now, i am not sure than many of us are truly ready for the ramifications of the true nature of human existence.

IIRC, one plane left from either newark or jfk, and the other came in from boston. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. There was almost a 20 minute gap between crashes. Had there been any interceptor jets in the area, is it not feasible that one could have taken the plane down over an unpopulated area between boston and new york?

word to the wise: research the seismic data gathered from new york that day. look at how little the impact of the material from the buildings shook the ground, compared to the mathematical estimates of how much mass the buildings consisted of.

also look at how relatively short the pile of rubble was: some estimates place actual height of the rubble to downwards of less than a third of what should have been there.

manhattan was covered in a thick layer of dust, both concrete and steel. no bombs were used to pulverise the building and there is no significant evidence to prove the nanothermite hypothesis (as thermite will not pulverise anything).

i sometimes joke that we shouldn't call this place the "universe", because that's a bit of a misnomer.
i think it should be called "too much information". it's really such a goddamned shame that we upright primates have such a small buffer and an even smaller on board cache, and that we are so prone intellectual (possibly brain) damage due to tremendous emotional attachement to particular viewpoints.

honestly, i am just sort of tired of pretending that we are running at full capacity, given what i personally know about the nature of reality in general. maybe it's supposed to be this way, like if you really want to free yourself then you really have to work for it.

i don't see anyone in this situation as being inherently positive or negative. everyone is just doing what they are supposed to do, or what they feel they should do given limiting circumstances and the overall weakness of the human mind in general.

World Trade Center 1 and 2 were constructed as two giant tubes with the floors attached to the outside and the center utility tubes. The construction of the building in the picture is clearly different. Also the building is smaller.

My intuition is that all it would take is one floor to collapse to due to impact damge to bring the entire structure down.

quick question: have you ever heard that there was considerably less material in solid form hitting the pavement in downtown manhattan that day than you would expect from a falling building?

everyone accepts that there is dust everywhere but no one has a reasonable explanation for how several THOUSAND TONNES of steel and concrete can just dustify into micron sized particles.

it obviously wasn't explosives, but it also obviously isn't typical for a building to powderise itself under its own mass as it falls towards the earth.

why does everyone ignore this point, no matter what side of the issue they are on?

>> No.3201517

there is honest to god seismic evidence from they event that a significant amount of the material simply didn't hit the ground as large chunks.

Have any of you actually seen what they do to implode a building? They weaken it and they place a lot of individual charges.

Nobody has ever presented a reasonable explanation of how the explosives could have been placed with nobody knowing.

They must have been built into the building back in the 60s when it was constructed.

there were no explosives. the buildings were more or less "shaken" into microsized granules by the interference of two or more standing waves which were directed at the site and ramped up to the mean resonant frequency of the masses of the buildings at the site.

it was not an inside job. the simple truth is that no one really knows what happened.

>> No.3201534

>>3201530
Standing waves generated by what? Wouldn't such a signal show up on seismographs for thousands of miles? Wouldn't energy required to generate such a wave be massive? Like enough energy to power Manhattan itself? How is that less far fetched than 15,000 gallons of kerosene weakening a structure that would fail quickly once it started to fall.

>>3201534
think about the way a cell phone works.

everything solid has a frequency at which it resonates: like how ANYONE can break a glass with their own voice (not just opera singers, try it out!).

i don't know where the waves came from, but there are also meteorological effects around the site which are difficult to explain by anything other than some sort of directed waves.

hypothetically, it could be done from anywhere on the planet, or more chillingly: off planet, such as one or more microwave satellites.

and yes!!! there is tonnes of seismographic evidence that is highly abnormal! that is by far the most intriguing part of the whole event.

i used to be a 9/11 truther because it seemed like there was no other explanation, because obviously the standard story is ridiculous to anyone who can see a larger picture... HOWEVER it became obvious after a few years of looking at this that there is something VERY strange about the existence of all of that nano sized material (ie. the dust).

it's really quite fascinating, to be honest. the moment i realised that something truly strange was afoot, i actually got a little giddy haha

The amplitude of the input wave would have to be significant to start with to be able to bring down a building. Just because you hit resonance doesn't mean you're going to rattle apart. It needs a specific intensity to be able to do something. tl;dr it'd have to be earthquake strength to take down those buildings, even at resonance.

You're right in that all you have to do is match the frequency to hit resonance. That's what resonance is. But it needs a certain intensity to do damage to a building. Everything in this world is bombarded by a wide variety of frequencies everyday, but the waves generally don't have enough amplitude to show significant resonance in objects.

I've done a few resonances experiments myself, and have played around with that in rooms, too. But so long as it's not intense enough, nothing will happen. You can hit buildings with sound waves that match the buildings natural frequency. Nothing will happen; sound waves have small amplitudes and power. But if the ground is to shake at that frequency, it has the power to cause damage.

of course, i agree with you entirely.
as i said, i have no answers. all i know is that there are thousands of tonnes of powdered steel and concrete, very abnormal seismological readings from the site (especially concerning the collapses of the buildings, being rather UNDERWHELMING), strange weather behaviour, and a whole host of other physical anomalies that are entirely ignored by both 9/11 truthers (who are primarily promoting an anti-elitist agenda which, whether or not it is justifiable, is very caustic to the idea that this is not some sort of internal conspiracy) and those who "believe" the conventional hypothesis (which has to ignore an incredible amount of information in order to cover itself from revealing the fact that those authoritative bodies have employed their official doctrine as a means of pushing their own hegemonic intentions both domestically and abroad, as chomsky said "every single authoritarian power on the planet benefited from 9/11").

i propose that no one has a goddamned clue what happened because the reality of this entire situation is so bizarre and improbable that it forces an undeniable immediately polarising reaction in the hearts of every single person who encounters it.

i am merely arguing that the event is STRANGE, much stranger than anyone has thus far been willing to acknowledge. i think it is very important to examine this event apolitically, and agnostically because frankly: no one can wrap it up in a neat little explanation without reducing the reality by displacing massive swaths of n-dimensional information clusters!

i imagine that you will argue with anything: where did the dust come from? i am not sold on directed energy, but what else can cause steel to break down into nanomicron sized particles other than something that causes the loosening of electromagnetic bonds between molecules? to my knowledge, it is quite easy to do with high frequency oscillation, but then again my whole point is that something very strange is afoot and i don't expect us to uncover it in an internet forum tonight.

I know that is what you are saying. However, a punching bag is an oscillating system with very little friction. If you hit an arbitrary object repeatedly at its natural vibration frequency, the oscillations will in general not build up to a really strong oscillation because energy is lost to friction.

honestly, everyone has this whole thing wrong.

people want to make this whole issue into black vs white, regardless of what side they are on. my only point is that no one knows the truth at all.

while the energy weapon hypothesis seems strange at first, there is a large amount of compiled evidence and measured phenomena to support this.

anyone who wants to know about this extremely thoroughly compiled evidence should visit

Well given the implications of this disaster you might have to assume any information on the regards might be tampered with (an assumption many /sci/ fags aren't willing to toy with) but just going off of what is actually visible from various live footage it doesn't seem odd to you that literally the ENTIRE building of concrete and steel is reduced to dust. Not chunks and hunks of metal and rock. Dust. I have never seen metal do that in my life before and while I can understand a large amount of it we are talking about practically an entire building here.

this is going to be my last message.
i don't know you so it doesn't matter to me that you would rather discuss my individual posts than look into the information that has been provided. obviously, it is not anyone else's responsibility to make up your mind but you and no matter what, whether you ignore the evidence or you are simply overwhelmed by it (this is where i am at!) the simple fact is that a clear objective case must be built which does not depend upon any specific opinion in order to assert realworld rational truth.
i ask only that the whole body of evidence be considered. this will not work for a lot of people, namely the 9/11 truthers and the architects and engineers for 9/11 truth who have arrogantly declared that they know the answer to the mysterious events that took place on that day. there is no evidence to support a controlled demolition aside from the appearance of the building collapses and some extremely bizarre seismic data (large spikes right before the planes hit, very bizarre indeed!) which are not easily explained by them. they rely upon chemical means as the primary vehicle for the destruction of the buildings, as do the mainstream believes (although they of course believe that the energy present in the jet fuel is all the chemistry required).

there is real physical evidence such as unburned papers, and such that simply does not account for fires being the primary cause of the destruction.

if it was not fire, and it was not bombs, then what caused the buildings to turn to dust? here we enter murky territory and unfortunately as yet, even in 2011 the quality of the dialogue is still far too low to sustain the kind of freewheeling intellectual play that will be necessary to truly understand the events of that fateful day.

So my counter argument to /sci/ is what evidence do you have that any of these events would cause concrete and steel to turn to dust. Seeing as this is such a clear cut case for you all I want to see you back up your argument with evidence. Has there ever been documentation stating that under temperatures such as the flashpoint of airline fuel concrete or steel have a tendency to collapse into powder? Because given the extreme ridiculousness of a steel building having never collapsed before I say the burden of proof rest upon you. Under EVERY demolition I have ever witnessed involving steel based buildings the girders always survive. Under every building burning down I have ever witnessed the girders are the last thing to go. But you are saying there is nothing strange about a historical first of concrete and steel giving way and both powderizing at the same time. I think you all are the ones with absurd claims here

dont be silly, it would only be a lobsided collapse if the top had fallen during the horizontal impact. When beams fail or buckle normally the stuff they support just falls down, dragging anything it hits down with it.

The effect on the subsequent lower beams failing is due to something called shock-loading, where the force produced by the impact of moving masses is greater than the stationary load of the mass

This is all pretty basic engineering/physics

It's extremely unlikely that WTC 7 collapsed due to fire.

It's also extremely unlikely that WTC 1 and 2 collapsed solely due to 1 jet liner crashing into each of them, since this was specifically accounted for in their design by the engineers in charge.

(Pic related, BTW this article is from 1993 so it's not an "after the fact" claim, it's the head structural engineer stating outright that jet liners crashing into the WTC 1 and 2 were specifically accounted for and that this could not cause them to collapse. He also explicitly states that demolitions could bring the tower down, though.

People in this thread have said "ask a civil engineer."

The word of the head engineer of the WTC buildings back in 1993 after the first bombing happened and failed to cause a collapse was that:

1. Basement bomb can't cause collapse.
2. Jet liner impact + fire (he explicitly talks about the fire that would follow).
3. That top demolitions experts, on the other hand, could bring the towers down.

This is the head structural engineer for the WTC buildings, he is more qualified than any random civil engineer on the street with regards to the design and capabilities of the twin tower structures.

8 years before this happened he stated that he specifically designed them to withstand exactly what happened on September 11. This implies the strong possibility of an additional agent on top of impact and the resulting fire contributing to the collapse of the towers, such as demolitions.

you're joking right?

Are you trying to imply that the structural supports were removed or atomised? It would be pretty difficult to remove the supports and anything approaching atomisation would require the use of shaped explosive charges for the entire height of the building surrounding the supports (producing a series of explosions more than visible from the outside)

Or are you under the impression that the seperate beams would still be a couple of floors long after the weight of the entire building falls on them?

qualificatiosn dont mean shit when we are talking science im afraid. He states it is impossible, the structural physics and engineering community disagree

The weakening of the structure and shock loading of high floors collapsing into lower floor more than explains the failure of the supports throughout the building

But if you have an alternate more plausible theory on how the collision of the planes coincided with the falling of the towers then im sure all here would love to here it.

Ive seen the collapse many times, including live. Im not convinced its all dust (there was a lot of smoke that got pulled down when the building fell), we don't know how much actual "dust" dust was in that building to begin with, and the floors had a lot of concrete in them which would have been pulverized just by the force of the fall.

just promise me that you will sincerely look into the seismic readings from the moments of collapse. honestly, the readings were very low compared to even convention controlled demolitions. it appears as though less of the buildings struck the earth than should have, not to mention the level of dust created is unacceptably large in any senario.

i don't think it is necessarily important that there is a tightly wrapped explanation that can be bought and sold. i accept that our society mostly trades in these sorts of things, but honestly there are very few true tautologies, and you and i both know that a halfway explanation is no substitute for reality.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they did stand for quite a while. It was the structural damage, combined with the fact that the fire-resistant coating was blown off of the columns in the explosion, combined with the initial jet fuel blaze causing the later blaze of office materials, that weakened the supports enough to cause the top part of the towers to begin collapsing, which started the chain reaction that brought the towers down entirely.

The lead engineer specifically states that the building could withstand a fire. Its alot more complicated than " Well a plane hit a building, the building collapsing just makes sense".

For the following, I used the height of WTC1 as 1368 feet and considered each floor to be a height of 12.44 feet.
(1368/110 =12.44 ft/floor). I assumed gravity = 32.2 ft/sec2 or 9.81 m/sec2.

If the WTC had 425,000 cubic yards of lightweight concrete (72% the weight of normal concrete), then there were 631,000 (?) tons of concrete in the complex. This is a crude cross-check on the weight of the towers and the WTC and suggests that 500,000 tons is not an exaggeration.
Note: 425,000 yd3 x 33 (ft3/yd3)x (110)lb/ft3 x (ton/2,000 lbs)= 631,125 tons

He designed it for a speed that as higher than what hit the towers, and the corresponding increase in kinetic energy, if I remember correctly, was about 20% more with the 707.

That's because a world renowned engineer didn't go:

"Herp derp I'm designing the tallest skyscraper in the world, I better design it to withstand exactly the size of plane of a 707 because no larger plane will ever exist!"

No, he designed it to withstand a significantly larger impact than the largest plane at the time could provide, which is why he was confident enough to talk about how they could survive impacts from jet liners in 1993, over 20 years after 747s started flying commercially.

No one who knew what they were talking about ever claimed that the steel was at any point liquified by the fires.

Add heat to metal, however, and it softens. If there's tons of structural damage, and the metal is softened, well...

Let's put it this way. Even if your assumptions are right, and even if it's true that the temperatures COULDN'T POSSIBLY have been high enough to weaken the metal AT ALL, you can't get a perfect answer by "crunching the numbers." The twin towers cannot be perfectly modeled by whatever equations you're using. Every calculation you could possibly do is an approximation, and I bet you didn't even bother to estimate what the errors/uncertainties might be.

to a store (10 miles away), then
to the bank (5 more miles), then
to the dog track (7 more miles), then

To disprove your story, I could present to you a simple case. I would present to you that the world's record for running just one mile is 3:43.13, or just under four minutes. So, it does not seem possible that I could have run over 40 miles in 2 minutes. i.e. It does not seem possible for me to have run 43 miles in half the time it would take the holder of the world's record to run just one mile. Even if you gave me the benefit of having run all 43 miles at world-record pace, it would not have been possible for me to have covered that distance in two minutes.

Remember, the proof need not be complicated. You don't need to prove exactly how long it should have taken me to run that distance. Nor do you need to prove how much longer it would have taken if I stopped to place a bet at the dog track. To disprove my story, you only need to show that the story I gave you is not physically possible.

Page 305 of the 9/11 Commission Report states, "At 9:58:59, the South Tower collapsed in ten seconds, .... The building collapsed into itself, causing a ferocious windstorm and creating a massive debris cloud."

So, for the building to be collapsed in about 10 seconds, the lower floors would have to start moving before the upper floors could reach them by gravity alone.

Did we see this? I believe it's pretty clear in some of the videos. The "wave" of collapse, progressing down the building, is moving faster than free-fall speed. This would require something like a detonation or destruction sequence.

Realizing that, for example, the 40th floor needs to start moving before any of the upper floors have "free-fallen" to that point, why would it start moving? There was no fire there. And, if anything, there is less load on that floor as the upper floors turn to dust.

In the picture (at right), notice that WTC2 is less than half of its original height, yet has no debris that has fallen ahead of the demolition wave.

So, how could the ground rumble for only 8 seconds while WTC1 "disappeared?"

This part of the building surely took a lot longer to hit the ground as dust than it would have if it came down as larger pieces of material. We know that sheets of paper have a very high surface-area-to-mass ratio and will stay aloft for long periods of time, which is why paper is an excellent material for making toy airplanes. The alert observer will notice that much of the paper is covered with dust, indicating that this dust reached the ground after the paper did. In the above picture, there are a few tire tracks through the dust, but not many, so it was probably taken shortly after one (or both) of the towers were down. Also, the people in the picture look like they've just come out of hiding, curious to see what just happened and to take pictures. If there had been a strong wind blowing the dust around, it would blow the paper away before it would have blown the dust onto the paper. So, the fact that much of the randomly-oriented paper is covered with dust indicates the relative aerodynamic properties of this dust.

In a conventional controlled-demolition, a building's supports are knocked out and the building is broken up as it slams to the ground. In a conventional controlled-demolition, gravity is used to break up the building. Here, it seems that the only use of gravity was to get the dust out of the air.

In conclusion, the explanations of the collapse that have been given by the 9/11 Commission Report and NIST are not physically possible. A new investigation is needed to determine the true cause of what happened to these buildings on September 11, 2001. The destruction of all seven WTC buildings and especially WTC1 and WTC2 may be considered the greatest engineering disaster in the history of the world and deserves a thorough investigation.

"Bomb" isn't the right way to describe this demolitions technology:

" “The sol-gel process is very amenable to dip-, spin-, and spray-coating technologies to coat surfaces. We have utilized this property to dip-coat various substrates to make sol-gel Fe,O,/ Al / Viton coatings. The energetic coating dries to give a nice adherent film. Preliminary experiments indicate that films of the hybrid material are self-propagating when ignited by thermal stimulus”

(Gash et al 2002)."

Before september 11 construction was done to encase asbestos coating. If they encased nano thermite instead of asbestos coating you would get a controlled demoltion without "explosives" in the common sense of the word, but instead "cutting" and "disintegration."

This is an advanced form of thermite, and not "explosive" other than that it will self propagate given thermal stimulation.

No, listen to me for a sec. The top of the building is collapsing into the part of the building that is still standing. So yes, the top is falling faster then the bottom, because the bottom hasn't started falling yet. In many of the videos you can see dust coming out of the windows, while the outer shell still remains intact, which means the core of the building is falling inside of the structure.

Appendix A: For those concerned about momentum.
Conservation of Momentum and Conservation of Energy

Conservation of Momentum:

The amount of momentum (p) that an object has depends on two physical quantities: the mass and the velocity of the moving object.
p = mv

where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v the velocity.
If momentum is conserved it can be used to calculate unknown velocities following a collision.
(m1 * v1)i + (m2 * v2)i = (m1 * v1)f + (m2 * v2)f

where the subscript i signifies initial, before the collision, and f signifies final, after the collision.
If (m1)i = 0, and (v2)i = 0, then (v2)f must =0.
So, for conservation of momentum, there cannot be pulverization.

____________________________________

If we assume the second mass is initially at rest [(v2)i = 0], the equation reduces to

(m1 * v1)i = (m1 * v1)f + (m2 * v2)f

As you can see, if mass m1 = m2 and they "stick" together after impact, the equation reduces to ,

(m1 * v1)i = (2m1 * vnew)f

or vnew = (1/2) * v1

If two identical masses colliding and sticking together, they will travel at half the speed as the original single mass.

3202644

Conservation of Energy:

In elastic collisions, the sum of kinetic energy before a collision must equal the sum of kinetic energy after the collision. Conservation of kinetic energy is given by the following formula:

(1/2)(m1 * v21)i + (1/2)(m2 * v22)i = (1/2)(m1 * v21)f + (1/2)(m2 * v22)f + (Pulverize) + (Fail Floor Supports)
where (Pulverize) is the energy required to pulverize a floor and (Fail Floor Supports) is the energy required to fail the next floor.

If (1/2)(m1 * v21)i + (1/2)(m2 * v22)i = (Pulverize) + (Fail Floor Supports), there well be no momentum transfer.
In reality, (1/2)(m1 * v21)i + (1/2)(m2 * v22)i < (Pulverize) + (Fail Floor Supports),

So, for conservation of energy, we must assume there is some additional energy such that,

(1/2)(m1 * v21)i + (1/2)(m2 * v22)i + (Additional Energy) = (Pulverize) + (Fail Floor Supports),

where (Additional Energy) is the additional amount of energy needed to have the outcome we observed on 9/11/01.

Top

Appendix B: Assuming elastic collisions:

Assume that the top floor stays intact as a solid block weight, Block-A. Start the collapse timer when the 109th floor fails. At that instant, assume floor 108 miraculously turns to dust and disappears. So, Block-A can drop at free-fall speed until it reaches the 108th floor. After Block-A travels one floor, it now has momentum. If all of the momentum is transferred from Block-A to Block-B, the next floor, Block-A will stop moving momentarily, even if there is no resistance for the next block to start moving.

(m1 * v1)i = (m2 * v2)f

If Block-A stops moving, after triggering the next sequence, the mass of Block-A will not arrive in time to transfer momentum to the next "pancaking" between Block-B and Block-C. In other words, the momentum will not be increased as the "collapse" progresses.

However, as we can observe, the building disintegrated from the top down and there was no block of material.

So, if motion must be restarted at every floor, the total collapse time must be more than 10 seconds. Given that the building disintegrated from the top down, it is difficult to believe there could be much momentum to transfer, if any. Also, consider the energy required to pulverize the floor between each "pancake." After being pulverized, the surface-area/mass is greatly increased and the air resistance becomes significant. I don't believe this pulverized material can contribute any momentum as it "hangs" in the air and floats down at a much-much slower rate than the "collapsing" floors.

This is a view from West Street, looking east across the remains of WTC1. FEMA entered this photo on 9/13/01, which is the earliest date for any posts for the 9/11 event. Other photos they have for 9/13/01 show much more people and equipment present. So, it is believed that this photo was taken on 9/11/01, but entered into their files on 9/13. Where did the building go?
