Are people really THAT stupid?

Question

REALITY CHECK PEOPLE! Despite what Bush bashers, bleeding heart liberals, and conspiracy nuts would like you to believe, here is how the World Trade Center towers collapsed:

After the 767 jet liner crashed into the world trade center building creating the worst terror attack in history, a fire burned for 56 minutes inside the World Trade Center building number two. The top 20 floors of the building collapsed on the 90 floors below. The entire one hundred and ten-story building collapsed in 8 seconds... After a fire burned inside WTC tower number one for 102 minutes, the top 30 floors collapsed on the lower 80 floors. And the entire one hundred and ten stories of this building collapsed in 10 seconds. You can say the reason they collapsed was they were struck with a 185 ton jet airliner and the 24,000 gallons of jet fuel caused a fire of 1500 to 2000 degrees F which weakened the steel and caused the collapse. Any questions???

Answer 1

Thank you. That was the first honest, well thought out, and appropriate answer I've seen on this subject lately. Well done.

Answer 2

First, a little history. In the second world war, a bomber, (B-29 I think it was) crashed in to the Empire State Building in a heavy fog. There was very little damage to the building. Why? Because of the design of the building. The support was from the ground up. In other words, the structure supported its weight all the way down.

The WTC. The design of this building was a new concept at the time it was built. The WTC was built to with-stand high winds, not airliners.

The WTC was designed where each floor supported its own weight. After the crash and resulting fire, the top 20 floors collapsed. Since the floors below were not designed to support the weight of the 20 floors above it, it collapsed also. Subsequently, each floor, as it got the weight of the above floors on it, it collapsed also causing a pancake effect. That is how the collapse of the building was described by engineers. Had the Empire State Building been designed the same way it would have also collapsed. Had the WTC been designed like the ESB, it probably not have collapsed

Answer 3

" Bull. Look at all the smoke. A good fire never has smoke. The towers were specifically designed to withhold such an attack. And indepedent mechanics - not state sponsered ones - have debunked the gov.s lies a hundred times. They weren't even struck by planes. If they were why is there no proof. This isn't just me talking, it's the rest of the world, you need a reality check my friend."

and you got your info where? have you ever seen a real gas fire or even been around a wood one? there are always fumes from them, and there is , in almost every case, a very large amount of smoke.
on to your second point, that the towers were made to withstand such an attack. you are correct in part. they were made to withstand a plane crashing in to them, but there is no way of planning for the steel struts that hold the entire building together to warp and melt, thus causing the top third of the building to collapse on to the bottom. steel melts at less heat than the fire jet fuel will produce, how are the beams going to support the weight of a building if they are moltent?
as for what some indepedent mechanics said, you can pay someone to say anything, and they will do so. it gets proven every day. how do we know that they in their turn where not hired to make the whole thing look like a coverup?
now, where do you get that there where do you get that there was no proof? thousand of people watched the second plane hit, there was a tremendouse amount of video documentary. more than almost any other incident on reacord in fact. are you saying that all the TV and news was a vast plot by Bush to get us all in their corner? how did they manage that one, considering many of the stations hate Bush?
now, unless you can come up with PROOF that tapes were altered, that there were secret meatings to arrange this whole thing, that there was some major money exchange to pay for it, that the entire news network of the whole world was in on it, how can you say that it didn't happen? where is your hard proof, not opinion, but proof? you don't have any. if you hate this country so badly that you will continue to say it was a coverup, then go live somewhere else, please, and take the others that are like you with you so the rest of us can get on with fixing this mess.
it is you, my freind, who are in need of that reality check.

These sites would tell you "more" about 9/11, Which are based on fact rather then these supposition, Btw who was there to count the seconds and all that happening?? anyway.......you people would definitely try to justify it but oneday everyone would know the reality.......Man !! when there is smoke, its mean there is some fire.......so if there are sooo much questioning about 9/11, there must be something wrong with it..... And would you please tell me why Bush killed millions of peoples just for catching Osama and till yet they could now get him??? You have such a great technology that Nasa took only 90 minutes to search a missing shuttle in space but you could not find Osama who is just a human living in this world somewhere in mountains?? Come On !! your president is misguiding you peoples...Osama is a drama , an excuse to attack the countries......and 9/11 Is one of those well planned dramas which your president is playing with the world !! Sorry to say !

Answer 6

My site has more experts than yours.....
http://patriotsquestion911.com/

Capt. Russ Wittenberg, U.S. Air Force – Former Air Force fighter pilot with over 100 combat missions. Commercial pilot for Pan Am and United Airlines for 35 years, flying 707, 720, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, and 777 ’s. Had previously flown the actual two United Airlines airplanes that were hijacked on 9/11 (Flight 93, which impacted in Pennsylvania, and Flight 175, the second plane to hit the WTC).

Article 7/17/05: "The government story they handed us about 9/11 is total B.S. plain and simple." … Wittenberg convincingly argued there was absolutely no possibility that Flight 77 could have "descended 7,000 feet in two minutes, all the while performing a steep 270 degree banked turn before crashing into the Pentagon's first floor wall without touching the lawn."…

"For a guy to just jump into the cockpit and fly like an ace is impossible - there is not one chance in a thousand," said Wittenberg, recalling that when he made the jump from Boeing 727's to the highly sophisticated computerized characteristics of the 737's through 767's it took him considerable time to feel comfortable flying." http://www.arcticbeacon.com


Audio Interview 9/16/04: Regarding Flight 77, which allegedly hit the Pentagon. "The airplane could not have flown at those speeds which they said it did without going into what they call a high speed stall. The airplane won’t go that fast if you start pulling those high G maneuvers at those bank angles. … To expect this alleged airplane to run these maneuvers with a total amateur at the controls is simply ludicrous...

It’s roughly a 100 ton airplane. And an airplane that weighs 100 tons all assembled is still going to have 100 tons of disassembled trash and parts after it hits a building. There was no wreckage from a 757 at the Pentagon. … The vehicle that hit the Pentagon was not Flight 77. We think, as you may have heard before, it was a cruise missile." http://911underground.com


Editor's note: For more information on the impact at the Pentagon, see General Stubblebine, Colonel Nelson, Lt. Col. Kwiatkowski, Major Rokke, and Steve DeChiaro.

Answer 7

I don't think people are saying what happened on 9/11 was not a bad thing. But how does this correlate with the current situation? The Iraqi war? Do you think your government tells you the truth? Did you watch the History channel episode about the beginnings of the war in Iraq? and you trust your government?

Answer 8

Bull. Look at all the smoke. A good fire never has smoke. The towers were specifically designed to withhold such an attack. And indepedent mechanics - not state sponsered ones - have debunked the gov.s lies a hundred times. They weren't even struck by planes. (ie missiles maybe?) If they were why is there no proof. This isn't just me talking, it's the rest of the world, you need a reality check my friend.

edit: There is something very scary about this logic!! No building would ever disappear into the ground just like that!!

Answer 9

Totally agree. People have given me the up most pleasure "cough" of watching those stupid conspiracy movies, and the thought going through my head the whole 10 minutes of my standing is "OMG!!! these people are f'in nuts!" they seriously go to like extreme measures on how to prove it was a hoax, when in turn makes no darn sense and makes them look like a loser.

Answer 10

I don't think count dracula has seen the footage yet. Missiles? Come on. You're just making yourself look stupid. I would also like you to show me a fire with no smoke.
