View Full Version : News clips from 9-11-2001 **You can't debunk this** Ganymede 10-09-07, 09:49 AM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIgoXQWiSlM Checkmate! Ganymede 10-09-07, 06:23 PM Amazing that not one person on this board is fascinated about this footage. This isn't conspiracy theorists postulating about what occured. These are actual news reports from 9-11-2001. This is the best evidence short of a smoking gun. Count Sudoku 10-09-07, 06:34 PM That is interesting. I was going to post earlier but changed my mind. So, do you think 911 was an inside job? Orleander 10-09-07, 06:37 PM could the secondary explosions be the cars that are in the underground parking? spidergoat 10-09-07, 06:39 PM It sounds like you are postulating about what caused those sounds. iceaura 10-09-07, 06:46 PM Evidence of what? Loud bangs and explosions coming out of a burning, about to collapse skyscraper? Elevator doors blown open by a hot fire in an enclosed space? That was hardly news at the time, when no one knew what would happen next. It certainly isn't news now. btw: is the troofer's truth officially changing? It used to be controlled demolition via floor by floor sequentially coordinated thermite bombs cuttin the main support pillars on each floor. Now it's large planted explosions in the basement or somewhere near the bottom? I can't really tell by that video - seems to be something like that. Tiassa 10-09-07, 06:46 PM Actually, what I found most fascinating about that video is just how annoyed I got hearing an American news reader say "a nother". That phrase just grates on my ear. But seriously, dude. This one ain't it. Remember that much of the evidence in these arguments is based solely in the words of news readers who have absolutely no idea how to act in those moments. It's actually fascinating to watch the footage of Walter Cronkite discussing how he had to figure out just how to tell the nation that President Kennedy was dead. And I am, as a human being, deeply moved by the radio broadcast of the Hindenburg crash. The modern news media has neither the dignity nor the utter lack of pretense. We all know what it looked like. And of course there are unanswered questions. And yes, some of these conspiracy theories will, in the end, serve some utility in the pursuit of truth. But no silver nail is going to be found on YouTube. Seriously, maybe one of my British neighbors would be so kind as to speculate: If I had the proof that 9/11 was an inside job, would the tabloids pay me for the story? Ganymede 10-09-07, 06:55 PM Evidence of what? Loud bangs and explosions coming out of a burning, about to collapse skyscraper? Elevator doors blown open by a hot fire in an enclosed space?

By this un informed response I assume that you didn't watch the entire video. There's 3 different fire fighters who used the the word "BOMB IN THE BUILDING". But oh no, you want to believe what Dick Cheney is telling you to believe. How do they have more credibility then the first responders? Ganymede 10-09-07, 06:56 PM Count Soduku, you're on Ignore. With the rest of your racist bretheren on this forum. Please refrain from posting in my threads. spidergoat 10-09-07, 06:57 PM Like two airplanes crashing into two NYC skyscrapers isn't enough? Give me a break man. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:00 PM Actually, what I found most fascinating about that video is just how annoyed I got hearing an American news reader say "a nother".

What part of the video are you referring to. And youtube isn't the silver nail you're referring to. These are ACTUAL NEWS REPORTS. Please stick to the subject matter at hand. And I want you state at what part of the video you're disputing. John99 10-09-07, 07:04 PM Ganymede, never in a million years could there be an inside job that resulted in ove 300 firefighters getting killed. THEY WERE GOING UP, WHILE THE BUILDINGS WERE COMING DOWN. That takes balls and unbelievable courage AND an enormous desire to save lives. That beins said news reporters are not engineers and many thing could explode, and i dont know because that exploasion in the beginning sounds alot like a sound effect but it does not matter. Your fixation is troubling though. shichimenshyo 10-09-07, 07:04 PM They are all initial news reports done before any investigation. Come on our government could never keep something like this a secret, and if they could they would be doing alot more stuff to forward theior agendas, Iraq? we would have found a nuke, instead of nothing. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:05 PM Like two airplanes crashing into two NYC skyscrapers isn't enough? Give me a break man. Sorry Spider, Aluminum Planes don't qualify as battering rams. Capable of bringing down Steel Skyscrappers that out weight it by atleast a MILLION tons. Try again. You fail at physics. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:07 PM They are all initial news reports done before any investigation. Come on our government could never keep something like this a secret, and if they could they would be doing alot more stuff to forward theior agendas, Iraq? we would have found a nuke, instead of nothing. I have 2 questions for you. Because you're basing your opinion on innuendo. 1) How much money was spent on the 911 Investigation. 2) How much money was spent on the Monica Lewinsky Investigation. John99 10-09-07, 07:07 PM could have been truck bombs like the first time it was tried and failed. you should call the FBI abd let them know. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:09 PM Ganymede, never in a million years could there be an inside job that resulted in ove 300 firefighters getting killed. THEY WERE GOING UP, WHILE THE BUILDINGS WERE COMING DOWN. That takes balls and unbelievable courage AND an enormous desire to save lives. That beins said news reporters are not engineers and many thing could explode, and i dont know because that exploasion in the beginning sounds alot like a sound effect but it does not matter. Your fixation is troubling though. WRONG, the Fire fighters said the word "Bombs in the buildings". Try again. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:11 PM could have been truck bombs like the first time it was tried and failed. you should call the FBI abd let them know. Maybe you should hunt with Dick Cheney, and hopefully he shoots you in face too. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:12 PM Ganymede, never in a million years could there be an inside job that resulted in ove 300 firefighters getting killed. . Oh really, list the names of the Fire Fighters that testified before the 911 commision! You can't that's why your theory fails. shichimenshyo 10-09-07, 07:14 PM Have you ever seen what a plane is made of ? have you ever been inside the inner workings of a 737? I have adn I know that the max load weight of a 737 (including the plane itself is 171,000 lbs, thats one hell of a battering ram especially traveling at 400mph GeoffP 10-09-07, 07:15 PM WRONG, the Fire fighters said the word "Bombs in the buildings". Try again. A firefighter can tell the sound of a bomb? At that range, or any range? Give me a break. They fight fires. They're not demolitions experts. For that you'd need a guy from what is commonly termed a bomb squad. Maybe you should hunt with Dick Cheney, and hopefully he shoots you in face too. Typical Trooferism. GeoffP 10-09-07, 07:17 PM By this un informed response I assume that you didn't watch the entire video. There's 3 different fire fighters who used the the word "BOMB IN THE BUILDING". But oh no, you want to believe what Dick Cheney is telling you to believe. How do they have more credibility then the first responders? Because Cheney had something called "information", which was largely collected after the attack during something termed "analysis". You may want to look these things up. Surely you couldn't be so stupid as to actually think Cheney did it all himself? Debunked. GeoffP 10-09-07, 07:23 PM Oh yeah: a note on perception. One observer tells us at about 8:12 that the top of the building "the entire top of the building just blew up". Yet, it didn't, as camerawork from a distance shows. That's the value of close personal observation in a disaster. Done. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:23 PM Have you ever seen what a plane is made of Aluminum have you ever been inside the inner workings of a 737? That's not relevant. I have adn I know that the max load weight of a 737 (including the plane itself is 171,000 lbs, thats one hell of a battering ram especially traveling at 400mph The WTC weighs 1.8 millionlbs. That's not enough force to bring down the towers. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:27 PM A firefighter can tell the sound of a bomb? At that range, or any range? Give me a break. They fight fires. They're not demolitions experts. For that you'd need a guy from what is commonly termed a bomb squad. And neither are you. However, I'll take their word over yours any day. They were there. YOU WEREN'T. They're speaking from experience. You're only providing conjecture. Typical Trooferism. Typical Slave. GeoffP 10-09-07, 07:28 PM Aluminum Do you know how much a plane weighs? Or what critical part of the structural support the plane hit? Or what steel does when stripped of its insulation and heated past 500C? GeoffP 10-09-07, 07:29 PM Typical Slave. Of what, idiot? Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:34 PM Because Cheney had something called "information", which was largely collected after the attack during something termed "analysis". You may want to look these things up. Surely you couldn't be so stupid as to actually think Cheney did it all himself? Debunked. Oh, an Independent investigation was done? Please provide the link. I specifically want the investigation done on WTC 7. Provide me that link or STFU. Michael 10-09-07, 07:39 PM 1) The building STARTED to collapse from the top NOT the bottom. 2) Maybe there were explosions in the bottom. There could be many explains for this. for example the structure was giving way and things were breaking apart (exploding) at the base that sounded like bombs. I've seen a tow truck cord snap and bang into a car that sounded like a bomb. If it had hit some... shit, it would have cut them in half. Can you imagine what sort of stress was on the base in a tower THAT BIG? This was just a tow-truck. Imagine a HUGE MEGA structure and the stress involved in one that is compromised. Also, these New Reporters are picked for their ability to parrot information, NOT actually give an educated opinion. Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:40 PM Do you know how much a plane weighs?

You fail at science! Count Sudoku 10-09-07, 07:42 PM Ganymede, never in a million years could there be an inside job that resulted in over 300 firefighters getting killed. THEY WERE GOING UP, WHILE THE BUILDINGS WERE COMING DOWN. That takes balls and unbelievable courage AND an enormous desire to save lives. I don't get this. Are you saying that it couldn't be an inside job because there were 300 firefighters in the building but if there weren't then no problem? Oh, can a mod tell me if I am allowed to post in this thread even though go-bot doesn't want me to? What are the forum rules on this?

Ganymede 10-09-07, 07:45 PM Count, go back to burning crosses man. You have the intelligence of a reptile. Stay the fuck out of my threads. Count Sudoku 10-09-07, 07:46 PM They are all initial news reports done before any investigation. Come on our government could never keep something like this a secret, and if they could they would be doing alot more stuff to forward theior agendas, Iraq? we would have found a nuke, instead of nothing. Do you believe Kennedy was killed by a lone gunman? How do you explain the FED being a private business that pays no taxes, has never been audited and is owned by foreigners which is explicity against the Constitution? Count Sudoku 10-09-07, 07:47 PM Count, go back to burning crosses man. You have the intelligence of a reptile. Stay the fuck out of my threads. Mods!!! Mods!!! he insulted my intelligence! Give him demerit points! Edit: Why don't you go back to your kiddie cartoons Go bot? And don't go crying to the mods and hide behind their skirts. Count Sudoku 10-09-07, 07:51 PM This is funny. I'm actually on Go Bot's side for once and he hates it. nietzschefan 10-09-07, 07:53 PM I'm on board - inside job. I've had that opinion for a few years now... Should never have put your country in the hands of frat boys. TruthSeeker 10-09-07, 07:56 PM Ok. Wait a second. The firefighters in the video actually said they SAW a bomb. They SAW it. They didn't just HEAR an explosion, which could be from an elevator or some gas or something. They SAW a bomb. That's very different. It was at about 4:30 into the video.... :bugeye: nietzschefan 10-09-07, 08:02 PM Yes they saw it, or at least "someone" reported it over their channels. Probably couldn't stomach killing too many cops and firemen. John99 10-09-07, 08:23 PM TruthSeeker, do you think that possibly saw a bomb could mean saw an explosion? or do yopu think the fireman "SAW" a bomb and no one else did? Watching some of these conspiracy videos on youtube is embarrasing that people can be so simple. I try not to get angry on these forums, so i wont say what i really want to say to Ganey(whatever the fuck he calls himself)- but i dont know what i would do if someone said they want to see me shot in the face and they were standing right in front of me. I dont even like to think about it.

Carcano 10-09-07, 09:28 PM Another good documentary here Ganymede: http://divxlive.com/video-44-1220755 Buffalo Roam 10-09-07, 09:36 PM http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c6/cetawayo/MadridFire.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c6/cetawayo/China22.jpg I guess these buildings keep their fire proofing huh? You fail at science! But they weren't impacted with 4 trillion foot pounds of impact of energy, That is the amount of energy from a 767, that weighs 171,000 pounds, delivers at 550 miles per hour. Just a little bit of difference between the incidents you cite and the WTC collapse. That is the equivalent of 2000lb. of Military grade TNT, those other building had fires, but there was no impact damage, and large sections of the framing structure were not compromised. shichimenshyo 10-09-07, 09:58 PM Aluminum That's not relevant. The WTC weighs 1.8 millionlbs. That's not enough force to bring down the towers. It is relevant because you think a 767 is apparently a giant coke can with wings...untrue, 171,000 lbs of metal and thousands of gallons of burning jet fuel is enough to bring down a building, get over yourself. iceaura 10-09-07, 09:59 PM By this un informed response I assume that you didn't watch the entire video. There's 3 different fire fighters who used the the word "BOMB IN THE BUILDING". But oh no, you want to believe what Dick Cheney is telling you to believe. How do they have more credibility then the first responders? I watched the whole thing - damn if I will again, just to verify what I noted first time through, which was that no one in the video actually saw a bomb in the building themselves. And no bombs went off in the lower floors, as far as we can see in any of the video of the firefighting or the collapse. And the video was strangely edited - I would be leaning forward, realizing that the next few moments were key, and those few moments would be cut off. By the third or fourth time that happened, I couldn't help but get a bit suspicious of the editing. One problem with all the bomb stuff is that we saw the building collapse, right on camera, from the top down, starting just above the airplane impact level (jsut where the structure was msot damaged and the fire hottest) without involving anything at all on the lower floors. Another feature of this overwrought bomb stuff is that it doesn't change the essential story - nothing says AQ was incapable of planting a coordinated street bomb, maybe something designed to trap the firefighters with fires below them - on the assumption that they would be fighting fires above them. That would be recognizable AQ tactics. Even the actual presence of a bomb in one or more of the buildings would not support, in itself, a conclusion of US government instigation of 9/11. And so forth. One of the reasons we haven't been able to get a decent investigation of the US government's relationship to 9/11 is that any such inquiry gets sidetracked into this gaseous swamp of rumors and nonsense - most of it on video, where the contradictions and improbabilites can be slid past reason a bit more easily. The most likely conspiracy for which that video is evidence is that this distraction is deliberate - that there's some kind of dirty tricks department run out of the Whie House that arranges for this noise every time people settle down and start asking real questions. John99 10-09-07, 10:03 PM Cry more n00b, it was a joke. oh, it was a joke??? sociopaths have a sense of humor too. John99 10-09-07, 10:23 PM Stop spreading dis-information. Please name the Conspiracy Theorist on the Video link I provided. You can't, so please stick to the facts. This is a montague of clips from CNN, FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC. I said 'some of those youtube videos', that is part of your problem. Pay attention. John99 10-09-07, 10:44 PM What type of power source did the towers use? Gas Oil Do electrical supplies cause explosions?:scratchin: madanthonywayne 10-09-07, 11:05 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIgoXQWiSlM Checkmate! Wow. That video took me right back to that day. But it doesn't prove there was a conspiracy. It simply brings back the massive confusion and shock of that day. No one knew what the fuck was happening. GeoffP 10-10-07, 02:06 PM Oh, an Independent investigation was done? Please provide the link. I specifically want the investigation done on WTC 7. Provide me that link or STFU. Bitch, have you not heard of the damn 9/11 Commission? Give your head a shake, it's stuck. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c6/cetawayo/MadridFire.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c6/cetawayo/China22.jpg I guess these buildings keep their fire proofing huh? You fail at science! They weren't hit by 200 tons of airplane and gas. I feel dumber just by talking to you. I got 2 words for you. Building 7. So your extreme stress theory is in sufficient. I got five words for you: fire and massive gas reserves. Shut it, and go away. VitalOne 10-10-07, 04:06 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIgoXQWiSlM Checkmate!

MacGyver1968 10-10-07, 05:03 PM One thing I've never heard any of the 9/11 conspiracy theories explain is "why"? What purpose would be served by the government blowing up the WTC? madanthonywayne 10-10-07, 05:07 PM One thing I've never heard any of the 9/11 conspiracy theories explain is "why"? What purpose would be served by the government blowing up the WTC? That's easy. They say it was to justify the evil neocon's plan to take over the world via war in the middle east. Kind of a burning of the Reichstag redux. nietzschefan 10-10-07, 05:49 PM One thing I've never heard any of the 9/11 conspiracy theories explain is "why"? What purpose would be served by the government blowing up the WTC? If it was to take away some basic freedoms in the U.S, it was an outstanding success. MZ3Boy84 10-10-07, 05:58 PM I am with Ganymede on this. I saw the events in New York that day from the corner of Church and Duane Street and I trust what my ears and eyes witnessed. It was obvious that there were LARGE explosions going off in the lower areas of the towers. Not just cars exploding... but MUCH larger explosions. I've spent one year in Iraq serving my country, and I know the difference between a high powered explosive and a car exploding. And when cars DO explode, the shockwave is not nearly enough to knock a person on thier feet unless they are literally standing on or less than a foot away from the car. Furthermore, after witnessing the impact of the planes into the towers, there were several small explosions as well as many LARGE ones, large explosions that were powerful enough to throw people across the street at the base of the towers. Sorry bud, but no car exlposion is ever that powerful. Also, take a look at steel buildings that were TOTALLY engulfed in flames and had burned for WEEKS and did not collapse. Yet some how its feasable that the WTC towers collapse only within minutes of the impact??? Please... Now, Im no expert but I do have the advantage of being able of having first-hand knowledge of both the tragic events of 9/11 as well as experience with explosive devices due to my military career. Furthermore, if, infact, the explosions were caused by devices planted before hand, it would be impossible to know if it was placed by us or a terrorist organization, as I am sure that either one of them would have "covered thier tracks". superluminal 10-10-07, 06:13 PM Many of the secondary small explosions were due to interstage water tanks exploding (in tall buildings you need to stage the acsent of water to the top), and even emergency lighting batteries. Much larger explosions could easily be due to pockets of pressurized gas being driven by the impact to many different levels within cavities in the building such as elevator shafts, and either causing simple pressure explosions, or igniting when the fuel-air mixture was critical. And as we all have such extensive experience with high-energy, fuel-laden projectiles impacting structures, it must be obvious what all of the effects might be. Right? Idiots. Ganymede, you're an aggressive, ignorant asshat. And you FAIL at science. Ha! Carcano 10-10-07, 06:16 PM Yet some how its feasable that the WTC towers collapse only within minutes of the impact??? Actually it was more like an hour. The WTC buildings had a central core of huge steel beams that could not simply desintegrate in less than fifteen seconds. Remember that the top floors descended in 'free fall' time There had to be planted internal explosions involved. Again, this documentary is the most exhaustive explanation of the engineering problems involved you'll ever find on the net: http://divxlive.com/video-44-1220755 superluminal 10-10-07, 06:18 PM The WTC buildings had a central core of huge steel beams that could not simply desintegrate in less than fifteen seconds. Remember that the top floors descended in 'free fall' time No, they didn't. It's been measured to be significantly less. There had to be planted internal explosions involved. Umm... no. MZ3Boy84 10-10-07, 06:19 PM Nevertheless... that is an insanely short period of time. superluminal 10-10-07, 06:25 PM Nevertheless... that is an insanely short period of time. Not unless you have even a mild sense of the temperatures and forces involved in such an impact. It's way beyond what most people are used to thinking in terms of. Carcano 10-10-07, 06:36 PM Nevertheless... that is an insanely short period of time. Far less than any pancake theory could possibly explain. Even if such possibilities existed...which they dont. quadraphonics 10-10-07, 06:37 PM That's easy. They say it was to justify the evil neocon's plan to take over the world via war in the middle east. Kind of a burning of the Reichstag redux. Of course, this theory still doesn't explain why they'd plant bombs in the buildings. The suicide hijackings were provocative enough, whether or not the buildings collapsed, so there's no need to undertake the essentially impossible task of secretly wiring the towers for demolition. quadraphonics 10-10-07, 06:56 PM Now, Im no expert ... Then don't present your intuitions as if they represent reliable guides to the physics of skyscraper calamities. Unless you've got a PhD in structural engineering and at least a decade of experience in design/construction/demolition of skyscrapers, your expectations about what should and should not occur in a situation such as 9/11 are worth exactly dick. This gets to the root of the problem with the "Truth" movement (and the Loose Change video in particular): they use a crude form of populist rhetoric to subvert people's natural (and justified) faith in scientific and technical authorities. They'd have you believe that all it takes to understand the physics of an unprecedented structural catastrophe is a little common sense, a few minutes of selective video footage, and a handful of general facts about materials and physics. This, of course, is ridiculous. If there's ever been a issue that required more in the way of expertise to penetrate, I can't think of it. However, nobody likes to be told "you're not educated enough to figure this out on your own, just trust us," and so the "Truth" movement continues to appeal to a certain segment of the population that possesses both an unhealthy distrust of authority and an overdeveloped estimate of their own judgement.

Unless you've got a PhD in structural engineering and at least a decade of experience in design/construction/demolition of skyscrapers, your expectations about what should and should not occur in a situation such as 9/11 are worth exactly dick. Intuitions???? For one, I am a Civil Engineer, soon recieving my Master's at SLU. Secondly, I know EXACTLY how the WTC was constructed down to the last truss. I've done my research. And last but not least, thank you for making a complete fool of yourself. Ganymede 10-10-07, 07:30 PM It is relevant because you think a 767 is apparently a giant coke can with wings...untrue, 171,000 lbs of metal and thousands of gallons of burning jet fuel is enough to bring down a building, get over yourself. What about building 7? There goes your argument. Game over, TRY AGAIN! quadraphonics 10-10-07, 07:32 PM Here's the list of Scientists and retired Military personal who conclude that this was an inside job. None of those people are experienced, respected experts in the field of skyscraper design, construction or demolition. Unless you get paid actual money to engineer actual skyscrapers, your intuitions aren't worth squat. By the way, architects don't count. They decide what buildings look like, not how they stand. Structural engineers do that. I have a friend currently attending the same architecture school as David Heller lists, and he can't even do basic freshman calculus, let alone structural engineering. And they won't be teaching him any of that stuff before he graduates.

The suicide hijackings were provocative enough, whether or not the buildings collapsed, so there's no need to undertake the essentially impossible task of secretly wiring the towers for demolition. Oh, I agree. I was just giving the answer I've heard among conspiracy theorists (such as SAM). To me, the most obvious reason this could not be an "inside job" is that the Bush administration could not possibly keep that kind of conspiracy a secret. They can't even keep our wiretapping of terror suspects secret! MZ3Boy84 10-10-07, 07:38 PM In fact, show me ANY degree of yours in any related field of work.

Do you have any clue many beams, girders, or collumns the two towers contained? Do you know the how deep the footings were submerged? Do you have the blueprints of the towers? Do you know how much estimated weight the towers held at full occupancy? Do you even know the full occupancy of the towers???

Because it doesn't require a strong background in skyscraper design to see that you guys aren't nearly as qualified as the actual authorities who did the actual investigation. But your opinion does? I've never offered my opinion about the mechanism of collapse. I've offered my opinion on how little authority you possess on this subject. These are two different issue, and the fact that you and MZ3Boy84 seem to have so much trouble comprehending this simple point is not helping your case. That's like saying a Dentist can't diagnose a mediacl ailment that don't pertain to teeth. Yes, exactly. Dentists don't attend medical school and are not licensed to practice medicine. If you break a leg or come down with pneumonia, do you go to a dentist? Structural Engineers take alot of the same college courses that ordinary physicists do. Yes, but architects don't take any of those classes. Moreover, physicists don't take the relevant classes, which cover the design of steel buildings.

It was obvious that there were LARGE explosions going off in the lower areas of the towers. Which could as easily have been transformers in the building. See the documentary "Screw Loose Change". Also, take a look at steel buildings that were TOTALLY engulfed in flames and had burned for WEEKS and did not collapse. Yet some how its feasable that the WTC towers collapse only within minutes of the impact??? Please... Because those buildings hadn't been hit by planes. Far less than any pancake theory could possibly explain. A cursory examination of the tower collapse will reveal that there was no "pancaking"; i.e. no pause. Steven E.

The construction methods are particularly important. High-rise buildings from the 1930's era (and in particular the Empire State Building) were massively overbuilt.

Please stick to the subject matter at hand. And I want you state at what part of the video you're disputing. Okay, look, it's the whole thing. People have already made the point about the information exchange under such duress. To look at it in terms of my prior answer: • We all know what it looked like. And of course there are unanswered questions. And yes, some of these conspiracy theories will, in the end, serve some utility in the pursuit of truth. By the way, "a nother" is at 3:15. In the first place: We all know what it looked like. Okay? Number two: Yes, there are unanswered questions about exactly what happened. And yes, these conspiracy theories might well be looking at some symptom or evidence of a "real" truth. But no, these YouTube documentaries aren't it. Your title, for instance: "You can't debunk this". And that whole checkmate business. It characterizes everything that's wrong about the "9/11 Truth" movement. The penultimate segment, the bit from CNBC about a demolition: that's one of their studio presenters, right? Yeah, we know what it looked like. But the words of a CNBC presenter have better dramatic significance than anything else, except that the nature of this particular alleged documentary is such that it demands a different context, and that actually weakens the argument. The documentary you can't debunk: just think about what that asserts. Let's imagine that someday the Truth theorists are validated inasmuch as someone from the government finally spills a plausible tale of how the U.S. managed to pull it off, or look the other way, or whatever our government's necessary sin was. I promise you: that explanation will debunk this and any other conspiracy-theory film about 9/11. Take, for instance, Loose Change. I hadn't gotten around to it. And then I was going through some video files on another computer and ended up watching a BBC show called ... I think, Conspiracy Files. It was typical hyperdramatic pabulum, but the one thing I got from the episode was that Dylan Avery was such a prig I actually wanted to see his film. So much of the conspiracy discussion is set with a contemptuous tone that speaks poorly of its ambition. Loose Change isn't about 9/11. It's about Dylan Avery. This "Ultimate Con" is about Lucus. In their own right, they do important work, but the point isn't about debunking. The truth of the matter will do the debunking. This level of criticism almost precludes itself entirely from actually being right by nature of its outlook. Truth is stranger than fiction. There's a reason for this. It's because fiction is obliged, at some point, to start making sense. And that's how I know they're wrong. shichimenshyo 10-11-07, 04:58 PM http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4c/Abcnews-wtc7damage.jpg I would say wt7 suffered some pretty severe damage from the tower collapse.

I'm just debating the facts, something you lack. what facts? besides omg no other building has ever collapsed from fire, just because something has never happened before doesnt mean it never will happen. So far you have pointed to a bunch of youtube videos and the fact that something never had a full investigation done, Fema did invesigate it and said that it seemed unlikely that the building should collapse in this way but all current evidence shows thta it did. You dont have evidence just a belief in some bullshit that someone posts on you tube. way to be superluminal 10-11-07, 06:55 PM And what are you basing this assumption on? Since it's never f*cking happend before? First, read and understand this: http://www.debunking911.com/WTC7.htm Now, does anyone remember a building in Oklahoma City? A federal building? Remember? And do you remember what a little fertilizer parked across the street did? Took down the entire face of the building? Now here we have WTC7 with documented major damage to the south-facing base 10 or so stories and documented fires burning for hours. So, to what kind of moron is it incredibly, blatantly obvious that it MUST have been controlled demolition? Only the same kind of moron that becomes so fanatically religiously invested in the idea, that no amount of evidence or reason can ever sway them. Sound familiar, dipshit? GeoffP 10-11-07, 07:01 PM According to the new New York Times/CBS News poll, only 16% of Americans think the government is telling the truth about 9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks: Do you think members of the Bush Administration are telling the truth, are mostly telling the truth but hiding something, or are they mostly lying Telling the truth 16% Hiding something 53% Mostly lying 28% Not sure 3%" Argumentum ad populum. You lose. :D Also the "hiding something" makes no specification whatsoever as to what the US is "hiding". It certainly doesn't go as far as "False Flag Operation".

I want one, too. There's a lot about the whole scene that bears closer scrutiny than it got. And I'm convinced one of the most important factors keeping me and those who feel as I do from getting our inquiry, is the image that BS like this has hung on anyone who wants one. People who can't make up their minds whether the government set off bombs in the basements of all three buildings or rigged incredibly rugged and well-coordinated millesecond-timed demolition charges on forty floors of both towers and building 7 prior to crashing jumbo jets into them for some reason, people who think the US government set up an operation that makes Mission Impossible stunts look like high school football plays, ran it flawlessly in split second timing without rehearsal or trial, and kept several hundred people whose friends had been killed from talking about it afterwards, in full view of dozens of TV cameras and thousands of witnesses people who are willing to accept two or three mutually exclusive explanations for various aspects of one incident have torpedoed any possibility of a genuine inquiry into, say, the obvious and disturbing Saudi connections between the US government and the financiers of 9/11, the failure to uncover the US support team for the hijackers, the flying skills and false identities involved, the ineffectual response to what could very well have been a far more serious enemy attack (the Russians sounded a bit wistful in their commentary, according to observers), and so forth. GeoffP 10-12-07, 10:59 AM Haha, right on Geoff...love ya man. You remind me of this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm1u6qZyQ4w Anyways...keep fighting the good fight. LOL - WTC7 WTC7! Hehe. I'd be more concerned about the "controlled demolition" comparison if the other buildings had come down from the bottom, instead of cracking at the aircraft impact point. Did the evil Lizardoids plant bombs there. Can you perhaps give any reason for why WTC7 would have been blown? Why were there no explosions at the base? GeoffP 10-12-07, 11:18 AM Let's also investigate wiki: "In May 2002, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a report on the collapse based on a preliminary investigation conducted jointly with the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers under leadership of Dr. W. Gene Corley, P.E. FEMA made preliminary findings that the collapse was not primarily caused by actual impact damage from the collapse of 1 WTC and 2 WTC but by fires on multiple stories ignited by debris from the other two towers that continued unabated due to lack of water for sprinklers or manual firefighting. Structural elements were exposed to high temperatures for a sufficient period of time to reduce their strength to the point of collapse.[6]" Gilsanz, Ramon, Edward M. DePaola, Christopher Marrion, and Harold "Bud" Nelson (May 2002). "WTC7 (Chapter 5), pdf", World Trade Center Building Performance Study. FEMA. It's collapse time? 5:20 PM, after burning all bloody day, its fireproofing being good for 3 hours maximum. I don't know if, on examining the multitude of tapes of WTC7, you struck on the gigantic column of smoke coming out of the building. Generally where there's smoke, there's fire. Maybe the 24,000 gallons of diesel for the generators had something to do with it, or the 12 transformers on the fifth floor, which is where the collapse apparently was, had something to do with the fire and the bang. I'm given to understand that transformers make quite a bang when they go up. To use your colleague's vocabulary: Checkmate! moementum7 10-12-07, 01:42 PM LOL - WTC7 WTC7! Hehe. I'd be more concerned about the "controlled demolition" comparison if the other buildings had come down from the bottom, instead of cracking at the aircraft impact point. Did the evil Lizardoids plant bombs there. Can you perhaps give any reason for why WTC7 would have been blown? Why were there no explosions at the base? Lizardoids?!...wtf are you talking about? Sorry bro, your a little too crazy or jaded for me.:) But keep on keeping on brother! GeoffP 10-12-07, 01:56 PM Well then, I guess that wraps up the WTC7 investigation. No conspiracy, no demolition. Almost a hundred thousand litres of diesel fuel, massive electricity transformers and a column of smoke that was probably visible from space sort of sorts out the "why" in "Why did WTC7 fall down?" Thankyou for playing. I've been your host, Geoff P. Good night. Ganymede 10-12-07, 02:59 PM Well then, I guess that wraps up the WTC7 investigation. No conspiracy, no demolition. Almost a hundred thousand litres of diesel fuel, massive electricity transformers and a column of smoke that was probably visible from space sort of sorts out the "why" in "Why did WTC7 fall down?" Thankyou for playing. I've been your host, Geoff P. Good night. Here's what seperates me from you. 1) I can provide real life examples that prove fires don't bring down buildings. 2)You on the other hand, can only provide punditry from non independently verifiable sources. The Government doesn't qualify as a nuetral source. Their modus operandi is to provide a conclusion of the facts that best suits them. They have no interest in the truth(The Pat Tilman intentional lies are a good example). That's why WTC7 was left out of 911 commision report. So i'm going to provide you with real life examples to support my theory that fires can't bring down buildings. While you on the other hand, can not. Here's proof, that fires don't bring down buildings. Until you can show me another example outside of the WTC (That's my challenge to you, if you're man enough to take it) Then I win by default, because I have more evidence to support my theory then you do.

That's why I win by default. I use real examples, you provide punditry and conjecture. GeoffP 10-12-07, 03:38 PM Here's what seperates me from you. Ganymede, there are many things that separate us, and the points you illustrate least of all. 1) I can provide real life examples that prove fires don't bring down buildings. All of which - as you have, I believe, already stipulated to - constitute different cases. These buildings have not been hit by aircraft; nor have they apparently had 24,000 gallons of diesel fuel and a dozen transformers explode on the same floor. Good attempt, however. 2)You on the other hand, can only provide punditry from non independently verifiable sources. The Government doesn't qualify as a nuetral source. Actually, it's your opinion so far that doesn't count as independent or verifiable, since you've been consistently unable to locate a single parallel case to either WTC7 or the Twin Towers. Your conspiracy fetish is driving your entire argument. Here's proof, that fires don't bring down buildings. Until you can show me another example outside of the WTC (That's my challenge to you... Please show me another example involving a) an aircraft strike with attendant fire or b) a massive gas reserve and exploding transformers. That's my challenge to you, assuming you're man enough to take it. Geoff, your version of physics should apply to these buildings also (But, But, the Jet Fuel) :yawn: Correct. You appear at first glance to be learning. Yet, I suspect the truth is rather more complex. You perhaps forget that these buildings didn't burn all day, but rather were hit by aircraft and collapsed at or near the impact points? :rolleyes: Lets forget about the twin towers. And lets conentrate on building 7. That way you can't use the phantom Jet fuel crunch to mask the weakness of your theory. Okay, I'll just go with the massive diesel fuel reserves, half a day of fire (since water pressure failed, and because of the tiny distraction of two collapsed hundred-story buildings next door), the professional opinions of firefighters on imminent building collapse (a subject they know well, unlike bombs), 12 transformers (not the kind you play with) and the FEMA report. Thanks. Your narrowing down my response really helped. ...

"Have we, as building professionals, been hoodwinked? Who should better understand the collapse of the World Trade Towers than those in our profession, possibly with the consultation of demolition experts?

As the nation is confused on the reality of that day, have we been making bad decisions ever since?
