even if this wasnt true steel columns expand when heated, the bolts fixing the metal together would be sheared with a relatively small raise in temperature.

WTC7 collapsed without being hit by a plane. We're supposed to believe that fire alone brought it down, even though no other steel building in history has collapsed due to fire, even after 8+ hours (longer than WTC7 burned for)

>> No.3707201

The theories as a whole argument do not; they are incredibly stupid, based more on bad movie plots than anything that happened that day.

The silly disbelief that something as large as a plane, filled with fuel, and a massive fire would bring down a building;
it takes much less in every other circumstance to bring down a building,
but the conspiracy fools keep minimizing the damage ('just cause a plane hit it', etc.)
The disbelief that such an event could be accomplished is similarly silly; destruction is easy. In fact, that part is often overshadowed by press comments of how much it would take for a group to pull that off
(it's not really that much cleverness or work).

The conspiracy guys are comic: they should be laughed at.
They claim things like 'buildings don't fall straight down.'
Of course buildings fall straight down -- if they are tall and their tops collapse.
They would topple (fall to the side) only if their bases were the damaged part.
Their suggestions argue against their own invented claims!

Can someone please explain to me why so many of the public buy the official story of the collapse of these storage shelves?

The fork lift truck didnt move with enough force to displace all those items on the shelves and the structural damage to a single support would not have been enough to weaken all shelves to the point of collapse.

The way the shelving fell into its own footprint despite the fact we are told and "shown" it was struck from the side is clear evidence of foul play

The neighbouring storage shelves were not even hit by the fork lift truck but they also collapsed. If that does not prove to you this was a field test for optical stealth anti-shelving clean demolition missiles then you are a deluded sheep

annealing temperature of steel (temp at which microstructure change occurs, causing loss of tensile properties.) : over 700 C, increasing depending on carbon content by weight. burning jet fuel is not sufficient to weaken the steel.

2) I know who is to blame for bad things, and I have no responsibility for them
3) My life isn't how I want because another group of people are evil, not because I have personal failings

Not to mention all the identifiable airplane debris. I guess the smuggled an airplane into the Pentagon and THEN hit it with a missile, amirite?

Why do conspiratards pick the stupidest possible arguments? Using a plane to hit the pentagon doesn't directly negate the idea of a conspiracy, so why go fullretard and claim it was a missile?

I guess missiles sound more obviously evil.

Why didnt they scramble fighter jets when they realised the hijacked airplanes were heading for NY?

They did. See 8:46 and 10:39

Once again, counterfactual assumptions.

You'd think "skeptics" would get to be ashamed of not doing their own fact-checking.

the development of the Osprey started in the 1980's it was untill 2005, a full 25 years afterwards the pentagon formally approved full-rate production.

Why because Boeing masterminded 9/11 sending America into war.
A war where they need troop carrying aircraft to believe troops into and out of the combat zone, and to avoid IEDs by not travelling on the road.

With out the war on terror no Osprey would be needed.

Prove me wrong

Yeah, 'cause we totally don't have humvee patrols that get hit by IEDs now. Thanks Osprey and Boeing, you helped us dodge that bullet!

As for your justification? You might as well say god did it because he thinks it's funny. Just as much evidence and plausibility.

Why don't we have soldiers underground in case terrorists drill through the Earth to get at us.

What I'm saying is, this was before international terrorism was considered a serious danger to the USA, the perceived threats were attacks from other nations i.e. Russian invasion which would was not expected to be an attack from the air on civilian targets, therefore when cuts were made the amount of available planes to intercept a threat of this nature were decreased. There simply was no protocol for an event like this where multiple civilian airliners would be used as a threat to civilian targets. Jets were scrambled, but you have to appreciate that it's easy to look back on this event and say why didn't XYZ happen, but at the time this was not expected to happen.

There is the arguement that the information was out there, but again it's down to how the threats are perceived, and these were not considered high risk by an ignorant government. The lack of communication between governmental parties is the reason 9/11 happened.

But they Osprey was already in service before 9/11.

Besides, even if you establish motive (more money in government contracts), Boeing is so very, very fucking far from having opportunity. That's really the problem here.
