No, virtually the whole thing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLShZOvxVe4
42 seconds into this video, you see it is virtually completely intact.
Actually LOOK at the picture. You see debris on the roof tops of nearby buildings. You see damage to the face of the buildings facing the WTC. You see a glass roof to the left of the image has been smashed even though it is more than 500 feet away from the footprint of the nearest tower. Fall into it's own footprint it certainly did not, my friend.
NIST was still able to establish a collapse without explosives. I should think they know what they are talking about.
As for the seismic data...Well there you go, the wave did peak before the collapse was complete. I'm not sure why this should be surprising?
Can I ask a question here? What does an explosion in the basement have to do with your hypothesis of controlled demolition? The WTC collapsed from top to bottom, meaning that any explosives in the basement were completely pointless to the eventual demolition of the WTC.
The fact it happened at the same time as the plane crash would suggest to me that something rushed down the elevator shaft... perhaps ignited jet fuel, perhaps compressed air? Oh I know, that's just pundity... OK It was a bomb!
Right back at ya. You have no facts to establish explosions were due to bombs.
No, but from videos I've seen of thermate reactions, there is no loud noise and although very damaging, not instantaneos. As the tower fell very rapidly, I can not understand how thermate could account for the quickness. You could say it was explosive bombs instead, but then where was the noise?
With thermate, you have to account for the lack of a visible chemical reaction being visible to all the cameras
With bombs you have to account for why the towers fell without explosions being heard for miles around.
For both you have to account for the lack of evidence in the debris by the recovery teams.
The 767s that hit the WTC weighed about 280,000 lbs and held over 10,000 gallons of fuel each. They hit the World Trade Center with over 200 times the kinetic energy of the B-25 that hit the ESB.
I hope even you can see why this is no comparison.
Are you trying to say that the plane should have bounced off the building? Just what the fuck is it you are saying? What do you think should have happened?
No, it is a clear indicator that conspiracy nuts are not to be trusted. Their "evidence" can and does get debunked by experts and this is why they can not get any scientific consensus on their theories.
This is why the only people who think they have any facts are people like you, who think it's valid to compare a B-25 with a 767. People like you who can't tell the difference between a 200 ton bullet and the wind.[/quote
You don't have any facts. 99.9% of everything you posted was from the same nameless youtube video. And I didn't say a B-25 was the same size of a 757. I wanted to show you another case of what happens when a plane carrying jetfuel crashes into a building. Even if the B-25 was smaller, it should of showed some similar characteristics(on a smaller scale) to the WTC jetliner crash.
Sigh :shrug:
43 seconds into the video, what is that if not somebody cutting down the remaining beams?
I didn't see anyone cut anything, just a still image.
What more fucking proof do you need. Your mind is totally clamped shut.
Not it's not, your mind is incapable of critical thinking. You ignore everything doesn't coincide with your Fanstasy of 911.
Then what the fuck is this:
http://www.911myths.com/html/757_wreckage.html
Plenty of photographic evidence there
Your photo only raises more questions.
Here's Peter Jennings from ABC interviewing another WTC survivor. She describes an explosion that occurred in the basement. She was in the freight elevator located in the basement.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSGZYP--wz0
The "Explosion" they were talking about was of course the aircraft, when they mention "Bomb" they are referring to the original bombing attempt done on the WTC in 1993.
I doubt you've ever watched the film Backdraft.
You've a mix of debris, Aviation fuel and fire combusting in an enclosed space... an elevator shaft, Of course it's going to cause a bang (Much like a gun does when an explosive fires a projectile out of the chamber), elevators will fail and fall under such changes in pressure as a burnout.
Also during the actual collapse it would of cause seismic shocks which would of aided in the collapse of walls that you mention.
All I saw was dust, the video is inconclusive. Photographic evidence please. You're worst then the people who peddle blurry videos then call them UFO's.
You can't name the fucking building can you? You fucking fail at debating.
Please present the data, you're lying once again. Always making false claims, then you have the audacity to fall back on the same nameless spook in that youtube video of yours.
The first seismic spike occurred at 9:59:04 (The same exact time the towers started to fall.
The second seismic spike occurred at 10:28:01(Just before the south tower collapsed)
The explosives planted in the basement weakened the foundation which assisted the building in falling in it's own footprint.

Here's what I have to support my theory. Multiple reports from firefighters saying they heard large explosions.
Dr Steven Jones has found thermate in the WTC Steele.
The Bomb squad was called into the WTC towers.
Multiple on site news reporters confirming that they heard large explosions.
Here's CNN talking about the explosions, you can hear the explosion also.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNLy6hQQNwk&feature=related
To much dust was present to get a clear view of anything. That's why you study the actual material as Dr. Steven Jones did, not the videos.
The explosions were heard. I've posted a mountain of evidence that supports that.
You said it was the planes impact that caused most of the severe damage. So now you're saying it was the Jet Fuel. Make up your mind, my point is
planes don't do shit to buildings. Bombs do.
Ditto, and I think you're batshit insane for believing the official story. You didn't debunk shit.

Your photo only raises more questions.
Your problem is exactly the same that others have. You don't know enough about structural design, the chimney effect cause by the updraft of the burning fuel and how the resultant high temperatures affect structural members and a dozen other things I could list.
Plus, many people will simply go out of their way to blame anything they can on the government or similar organizations.
The trouble with the conspiracy theory is not with the evidence, it rests with the incomplete education of those who believe it.
A bomb would not cause this either, so what is your point? There is still no evidence for molten steel. There may have been glowing metal but that doesn't mean molten steel unless you are a conspiracy theorist with no real interest in evidence.A Kerosene fire, powered by office equipment, doesn't burn for 3 months after the incident, after rain, after multiple attempts from the NYFD to contain it.

You go on about bombs and explosions and then you mention thermite, which is an incendiary.
Then there is more about bombs in the basement. If there were bombs in the basement what did they do? The collapse started at the point of impact near the top of the building!
Weakened the foundation so the building could implode on it's own footprint.
As all your theories get shot down you just keep churning out the same old debunked nonsense. The B25 one is always good for a laugh though.
Why are you still here? I never said that the B-25 was equivalent to 757.
Another example of your dishonesty... "I don't see a man cutting, I just see him hoisted above a standing beam pretending to cut", "I don't see any damage to the surrounding buildings of the WTC"
Your dishonesty is there for all to see
It is entirely inconsequential wether or not I can name any of the buildings.
You pretend you can't see this. This proves you are dishonest.
Did I not just give you my source? Namely the National Institute of Standards and Technology? NIST demonstrated that the collapse was initiated by weakened structure due to fire as demonstrated by the visible 'bowing' of the WTC in the areas worst effected by the heat.
I'll take an opportunity here to be honest and say that I can not explain this (if of course it's true what you are saying).
Flawed logic. The basement played absolutely no part in the collapse as it was initiated on the higher floors and each floor collapsed not because of what was happening below, but what was happening above. Parts of the lower structure were in fact the only recognisable parts of the building still standing.
The investigators are all to well aware of this. Even NIST interviewed people who described fireballs coming through elevator shafts on lower floors after the plane hit, which just supports the theory of ignited jet fuel travelling down the elevator shafts.
Even though when they made those quotes, they didn't know what those sounds were,
whereas today they have a better idea. To this day they don't voice their knowledge of a conspiracy, and you think they would since they lost hundreds of their colleagues. Your explanation for this is that they have been "silenced". How disrespectful.
You desperately need to familiarize yourself with the sounds a controlled demolition produces, namely explosions heard for miles around. All demolition firms deny that the WTC had any hallmarks of a controlled demolition.
It's important to know at what time that explosion is heard. If it is seconds before the WTC7 collapses, then that could be seen as proof of a controlled demolition (or just a coincidence), but what if it was hours before the WTC7 collapsed?
What if it was one of the diesel tanks inside the WTC7 building exploded?
We don't know what that explosion is, and more importantly, we don't know what TIME it happened. Firefighters pulled out of WTC7 hours before it collapsed, so if that sound came at 2pm for instance, then it can't possibly be demolition explosives.
The work of the American Jesus believing Steven Jones is completely discredited. He has no scientific consensus on his evidence = he fails. Science has no bias, if he had something to offer, he would be successful.
There were many verified explosions on that day that had nothing to do with bombs.
I'll say it again, explosion does not mean bomb. And more importantly when the WTC fell, no bombs were heard the first thing you hear is a slow rumble but no explosions.
I think this quote speaks for itself: you are an idiot.
Yes, I really am insane for siding with the experts on this one.
On a much, much smaller scale. Had a 550mph 767 hit the Empire State Bulding instead of a low fuelled small plane traveling at approach speed, it would be an entirely different story.
Plus you blatantly ignored the cleanup operator speaking to a camera saying they did cut beams and that they planned on cutting more beams.
You are dishonest.
What questions?
Actually your is, you said 1:42 seconds in the video you see the workers cutting the steele. No such thing occurred in that video.
Nope, it actually proves the opposite. 100% of your evidence is misleading, unaccredited or false representations of the facts.
NIST isn't a independent organization, it's Government agency.
Progress at last!
According the engineers who were present in the basement almost everything was pulverized. Regardless of the intention, the evidence suggest that bombs blew up in the basement
The kerosene fire balls didn't posses the energy to pulverize at 50 ton hydraulic press located in the 3 stories below in the basement.
I'll take their version of the events over yours, since they were there, and you weren't. Especially since they were there when the 1993 bomb hit, you weren't.
I said a GAG order was placed on the NYFD that's why they weren't questioned by the 911 commission How in the fuck can one determine what happened if you didn't interview the people who were actually there.
Debunked:
http://www.911myths.com/html/traces_of_thermate_at_the_wtc.html
Who debunked it, give one name of the Scientist who made this claims?
I've posted plenty of evidence for that already, If you chose to ignore then that's your prerogative.
What if it was a controlled demolition?
WTC definitely was a controlled Demolition, Larry Silverstein said it himself.
All the evidence points towards bomb being detonated.
Not without the assistance of bombs bringing down the structure.
The engine of 757 is much bigger then the minuscule one depicted in your photo.
If there was molten metal twelve weeks later, and I doubt that, a short explosive device would not be the cause. Thermite burns quickly and would not cause that either. So once again, what is your point here?Aluminum & Kerosene couldn't fuel a fire for 3 months. Kerosene & Office doesn't burn that hot. As for evidence. No matter how much that emotionally effects you it doesn't change the reality of the situation.
No. Glowing metal is not the same as molten steel. You need to produce some evidence of molten steel.Fact 1. Pools of molten steel found at the WTC site.
The eyewitness reports are of hearing explosions which is no surprise at all. It is dishonest to try and pass that off as evidence for bombs.Yes Thermite is incendiary, however, have you ever heard of Thermite Grenades? Also, based on the eyewitness reports, seismic data, and traces of Thermite found in the Steele, the evidence suggest that bombs were present, along with the thermate that was found in the WTC steele.
The pancaking caused the collapse and it started at the top of the building. If there were bombs in the basement they didn't do anything.Weakened the foundation so the building could implode on it's own footprint.
Due to my argumentative nature I tend to get involved in these discussions. There isn’t much for me to add here though as Kenny has been taking your posts apart.Why are you still here?
Another gem.WTC definitely was a controlled Demolition, Larry Silverstein said it himself.
Name the building that was damaged...
Other Buildings
The entire WTC complex was destroyed on September 11, 2001, and many of the surrounding buildings were also either damaged or destroyed as the towers fell. 5 WTC suffered a large fire and a partial collapse of its steel structure.
Other buildings destroyed include St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, Marriott World Trade Center (Marriott Hotel 3 WTC), South Plaza (4 WTC), and U.S. Customs (6 WTC). The World Financial Center buildings, 90 West Street, and 130 Cedar Street suffered fires. The Deutsche Bank Building, Verizon, and World Financial Center 3 suffered impact damage from the towers' collapse, as did 90 West Street. One Liberty Plaza survived structurally intact but sustained surface damage including shattered windows. 30 West Broadway was damaged by the collapse of 7 WTC. The Deutsche Bank Building, which was covered in a large black "shroud" after September 11 to cover the building's damage, is currently being deconstructed because of water, mold, and other severe damage caused by the neighboring towers' collapse
Are you really that stupid...
There was more than enough evidence in that video from the horses mouth, that they cut the beams. How else do you expect them to carry away the larger peices of the beams that were still standing? The engineer stated in the video that each one weighed between 50 and 60 tons. Of course they had to be cut.
Once again, you avoided answering my question. Do you see debris on the roofs of the buildings surrounding the ground zero? Yes or no?
NIST also is providing practical guidance and tools to better prepare facility owners, contractors, architects, engineers, emergency responders, and regulatory authorities to respond to future disasters.
That was their job with the WTC report. They have nothing to do with the Bush administration.
Well I've been reading about it, and it seems that the times in the seismic data may not be so clear cut:
http://www.911myths.com/html/seismic_proof_.html
Sources are provided in that website.
It's basically the same thing about what Loose Change did with Flight 93, suggesting that 3 minutes or so of the voice recorder were missing. But there are only 3 minutes missing if we take initial reports of time of the crash as accurate.
Find me one person today who heard explosions in the WTC who thinks it was an inside job. You seem to be putting words in their mouths.
I was about to ask you the same thing. Nevertheless my point is, if firefighters know there were bombs in the WTC then why are they not saying it today? The media would eat that shit up.
If you would have read that web page you would have seen sources which concur with Jones on the elements found in the WTC dust, but that these elements are natrually ocurring in office buildings and it is mere assumption that some of those elements came form thermite.
Thus we can conclude that Jones did not prove thermate bombs were used. He has no scientific consensus = fail.
No, you gave evidence of a noise being heard. There is no evidence of where the noise came from or what time of day the noise was heard.
Larry Silverstein said "pull it" referring to the fire fighters being removed from the building as they feared it would collapse.
It was the fire cheif who called Larry and told him they would pull the fire fighters out and Larry agreed. Even if Larry refused and demanded the fire fighters stay, the fire chief could overrule him and still pull them out. Larry had no say in the matter.
From all of the dozens of cameras that captured the collapse, not one captured any explosion in the moments before the towers fell.
Had it actually been a controlled demolition, there would be unmistakable explosions heard by just about all of the cameras.
Assertion. Experts in demolition say it was not a controlled demolition. No offense, but I trust them over you.
You do realise that you are comparing a complete engine to a compressor rotor, right? A compressor rotor is a component of an engine, not the whole engine itself.
When you crash a plane into a building at 550mph, the engine no longer looks as it was in your strawman picture.
That's not what he said. He never said that, he said he decided to pull the building.
He didn't say shit about firefighters liar.
They, were, multiple eyewitness, and news reporters said so. You've lost this point, move on already.
