Some people just believe the mainstream and won't even listen to the opposing experts

Others have a heavy political alignment and refuse to believe they can do anything wrong.

But 3 things prove to me it was a demo job
1 - The physics tells us it was impossible for those buildings to free fall
2 - Molten metal in the wreckage
3 - Thermite in the wreckage
There is more evidence but those 3 are the main ones for me.
There is no excuse for them

AOG, I do not need to dig the hole that you want too burry yourself in. You are the only one digging your hole to fall into.

The physics does tell us that it was possible for the Twin Tower building, the videos of the towers collapsing shows us that the towers did free fall using the vertical columns as the guides for the collapsing towers.

The fact that you state that there was molten metal in the wreckage confirms that the temperature from the resulting fuel fire was hot enough to melt metal and that the resulting temperatures of the structural steel above the crashed plane in the building was hot enough for the initial plastic deformation of the steel bolted floors sections to fail and the floors above to begin falling down using the aligned steel columns as the guide vehicle for the rest of the building to collapse.

Now the weight of the tower above the plane fell, let us say to or three metres and the energy of the falling sections of the building had enough energy to simply just shear all of the bolted floor connections as the building collapsed. When designing the building reference to the Sharpe Notch test would have been made to

The Charpy notch test is a standardized destructive test that measures the amount of energy a material absorbs during fracture under a sudden impact load. [1, 2]

The importance of the Charpy Notch test is taught to student engineers as it forms an important integral test that is considered when designing metal structures.

You referenced Thermite: -

resultsThermiteWikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Thermite

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia › wiki › Thermite

Thermite (/ˈθɜːrmaɪt/) [1] is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. Fuels include aluminium, magnesium, titanium, zinc, silicon, and boron.

Because Aluminium powder is mixed with iron oxide to thermo-weld railway track rails together and because the planes were manufactured using Aluminium sheets and sections, the finding of thermite powder in the wreckage is not inconceivable.

The evidence you claim is true and the main basis for your understanding of how the towers collapsed supports the conclusion of the video that @Debp posted. Your objections to the facts presented of how the towers actually collapsed does not stand up to any close inspection.

Perhaps it would be best if you withdrew from this discussion even though you started it from memory.

Shalom

An open fire can NOT melt steel.
Not even with jet fuel.
That's a metallurgical fact.
Jet fuel burns at 1,000c
Structural steel melts at 1,500c
There should have been no molten steel in the wreckage but a lot of it was found


Thermite (/ˈθɜːrmaɪt/) [1] is a pyrotechnic composition of metal powder and metal oxide. Fuels include aluminium, magnesium, titanium, zinc, silicon, and boron.

The aluminium in the plane does not account for the amount of thermite found.
Especially at a nano scale
Besides, building 7 didn't have any plane go into it and thermite elements were still found


The physics does tell us that it was possible for the Twin Tower building, the videos of the towers collapsing shows us that the towers did free fall using the vertical columns as the guides for the collapsing towers.

The fact that you didn't answer my question says that you didn't actually do any mathematical calculations on the physics yourself.

When I was in university at the time we obtained the information for the towers. In physics class we did the calculations ourselves and we found that the mass of the building couldn't possibly cause a gravitational acceleration. The building would have to be much heavier and/or the columns would have to be much weaker. This was confirmed by our physics professor and countless other engineers since.

In addition to that columns would have to all give way simultaneously which is impossible given only one side of the building was damaged.

The theory about horizontal bolts shearing is just one of many contradicting theories I have heard. Colums are holding up the structure and it doesn't explain how those colums below, uneffected by heat, can just give way so easily before the excess mass reached them. Those colums would have to buckle first causing a considerable resistance and deceleration of the collapse.

So in the end you dug yourself a huge hole. All your points were easily refuted. They didn't come from any kind of physics or engineering of your own mind. They are just a repeat of the propaganda you have swallowed up my friend.

God bless

Appalling passive aggressiveness.


Shalom?! After being so aggressive, the gas lighting is like punching somebody in the face, then acting morally superior in "warning" them not to "start anything." The Appeal to Ad Hominem powerfully shows you've lost the argument.

We're you unhappy at my refutation of his arguments? Cos you gave it a sad face
