I don't believe 911 was an inside job but I do have a question about the buildings?

Question

There have been theorys that the buildings could not have fallen that fast unless there were bombs already in the building. Is that true? I don't think the government planned this but if they did why?

Answer 1

They didn't. A plane loaded with jet fuel IS a bomb.

Answer 2

Shouldn't this question be listed in the Engineering or Science sections?
Before anyone tells Me their theory I always ask "Have You ever worked with Metal?" Guess What? Most have not. "Hanging Steel" frame buildings are not designed to remain standing once the vertical structural members are deflected outwards.The structural integrity of the "Gravity Anchor Effect" is lost, and all load bearing members become extra weight.
Try this little test. Put two cardboard boxes one inside the other. Gravity and friction hold them together. Invert them and put a loading on the bottom box. What happens? Slippage. Simple. As each floor fell it's weight was added to an already stressed rigid framework and Gravity took over.
As far as the "explosions" were concerned, that is the explosive disintegration of the window frames as the pressure ridge expanded. Ask a Fireman. They know all about it. Most "eye witnesses" to the event were unskilled observers.
Just for the fun of it why don't You compare the crash during WW11 with 911? They were both the same type of building structure yet the WW11 impact was virtually insignificant by comparison. It was the fuel element which made all the difference.

Answer 3

Your lack of awareness is excellent. No, i could no longer be a development engineer yet one ingredient i be responsive to is that no metallic shape had ever collapsed in historic past from hearth till that day, while no longer one, yet 3 did. and because you seem so clever, could you care to furnish your concept on why bldg. 7 collapsed? Oh sure, it is precise, the debris became into all carted off till now any purpose examine became into performed. That is wise. yet you seem too busy making up clever comments approximately liberals fairly of understanding Dems and Repubs are the two on the comparable team. doing some real examine approximately what befell and speaking out against it may make you a patriot, in simple terms going alongside with what your gov't advised you and putting a ribbon or flag on your vehicle would not.

Answer 4

Not that long ago it was theorized that bumble bees couldn't fly because their body was too big and their wings were too small - but they flew all around anyways.
Planes piloted by Islamic terrorists slammed into the towers. The resulting damage to the structure and the heat caused an entire story to collapse under the weight of the thirty stories above it - the rest is history.
No reasonable person can seriously believe that a cover up or conspiracy of this magnitude could have stood the scrutiny that this event has had with no verifiable or valid facts to indicate anything other than what they saw with their own eyes on the morning of 9/11.

Answer 5

I have seen a video where the military was testing concrete to see what it would withstand. They built a big thick block of concrete and put a track leading up to it. They then sent an obsolete Jet fighter down the track at a speed of several hundred miles per hour into the block of concrete. The Jet fight evaporated. It turned into tiny particles of debris, everything, the engines, the airframe, all of it.
Boeing 767s carry a lot of fuel and they weigh hundreds of thousands of pounds. Just the heat caused by the compression of all those materials would have to be a pretty significant amount and fuel burning under pressure is more like a cutting torch than a kerosene fire.
Now, consider that there were millions of pounds ABOVE the crash site applying tremendous down forces.
You asked the right question, Why would the government do such a thing? They wouldn't.

Answer 6

The planes that crashed into the building have a weight that is measured in hundreds of TONS. Their speed is measured in fractions of Mach (the speed of sound). And while jet fuel might not melt steel it can cause the aluminum to start burning.

Now using the equation Force equals Mass times Acceleration, imagine the force that a 300 tom aircraft will impact with when it is going about .5 Mach. It's kind of like sweeping your hand halfway through a card house.

There's a lot more research showing how this was absolutely not an inside job. Popular Science (or was it Scientific American) did a good article debunking all these myths.

Answer 7

I watched the entire thing. On TV, but that was enough for me to tell you, that it wasn't fast. It took a couple of hours for the first tower to be hit to fall. The second tower to be hit fell first. Probably because it was hit lower than the first. So more weight was borne by the damaged area of the building. You can bet that every structural engineer in the world has looked into this. And if these buildings were not brought down by the airliners. They cannot possibly all be involved in a conspiracy.
With that said, there have been times in history when governments used supposed attacks, on their homeland, to mislead their people into following their agenda. Such as the Nazi's burning of the Reichstag and the make believe attack on Germany by Poland.


And I'd just like to add. Those who continuosly say that liberals are the conspiracy theorist are liars. They are just as guilty as the conspiracy theorist themselves, because they are doing nothing but forwarding their conspiracy theory. There has never been a survey taken to determine the ideological beliefs of the conspiracy theorist. For all anyone knows, they could all be John Birchers. And John Birchers would make your average, so called, conservative, look like Jane Fonda's Guru!

Answer 8

The jet fuel burning in the building melted the structure and then the metal structure buckled and collapsed. Some conspiracy nuts say that there has never been a building that has fallen this way before. True. But when has a 767 flown into a 110 story building before 9/11? Also if our government can't control our own borders what makes you think that they can take down a building?

Answer 9

We all watched the buildings fall. They did not fall from being hit by planes. The empire state building was hit by a b-52 bomber before and it still stands. The way the buildings fell they couldn't have concievably fallen from damage as a result of the crash. There is no way steel can melt at those temperatures. And if the fire was so hot that it melted steal all the way down the building then why were people just floors beneath the reckage and not burning alive? why were fire men on radio's not mentioning boiling to death? it can melt steal but not humans? i think not. .. also the buildings fell straight down, if the steal was weaken by the crash and melting than the steal would be weaker towards the direction of entry where both heat and physical damage would have occured therefore the buildings would fall towards a particular angle, they would fall the direction of entry not straight down... The official story is a lie that is a fact not theory. The theory is that the government did it, why else would they cover it up?

Answer 10

In the wake of most major incidences in this country, there are those who want to believe in conspiracy. It is more intriguing. For some, it is an escape from reality.

Some claim we did not land on the moon and if you were to see the film explaining how it was faked, you might believe it was true. The film I saw was many years ago.

For those who CHOOSE to believe the buildings were bombed, why not also believe it was done by the same group of Islamic radicals that hijacked the planes? Not nearly as hard to accept this theory.

Today, it is so easy to edit/fabricate a film showing whatever one wants it to show. There are phonied up film and photographs everywhere.

The buildings fell the way they fell - period. Shall we concentrate on those who did this instead of following sick individuals who obviously have their own agenda. Perhaps we should be asking what their agenda is. It's not good; obviously.

Answer 11

Here read this and it will answer all your questions. Its the fact sheet from the NIST investigation and answers a lot of the Conspiracy Claims

Edit - Slits Throats please don't lie. The Empire State Building was hit by a B-25 not a B52. A B-25 is only 33,500 lbs carrying 670 gallons of fuel and hit at 150 MPH. The 767 that hit the building was 280,000 lbs carried 10,000 gallons of fuel and hit the WTC with 200X the kinetic energy of a B-25
