Just like most conspiracy theories, including this one.

Which is quite an important point – because to suggest that it couldn’t have been caused by the planes because of the way it fell is to ignore that the fundamental physics involved in a controlled demolition is much the same. I like how 3fish’s video ruins his theory by demonstrating that controlled demolitions only involve removing a small part of the structure, in the same way the planes did.

But conspiracy theorists will conspiracy theory.

Enormous mass falls, converting PE to KE.

Enormous mass encounters barrier (floor below) and VERY slightly (probably imperceptibly) slows as it ploughs through it.
Enormous mass continues to convert PE to KE by falling under gravity, but is now a bit more enormous.

Enormous (+ 1xfloor) mass encounters barrier (next floor below) and VERY slightly (probably even more imperceptibly) slows as it ploughs through it.
Enormous (+ 2xfloor) mass continues to convert PE to KE by falling under gravity.

Enormous (+ 2xfloor) mass encounters barrier (next floor below) and VERY slightly (probably even more imperceptibly) slows as it ploughs through it.
Enormous (+ 3x floor) mass continues to convert PE to KE by falling under gravity.

Enormous (+ 3xfloor) mass encounters barrier (next floor below) and VERY slightly (probably even more imperceptibly) slows as it ploughs through it.

Etc.

Resistance (of the floor) is futile.
Basically, in the case of the towers collapsing, loss of momentum caused by encountering a floor<<<gain in momentum, as a result of free falling between floors; hence the entire building collapsed.

Had the structure been stronger/the damage not so great/impact occurred higher up, the buildings would probably not have collapsed.

Imagine suspending a 20 storey building and dropping it 4m onto a single storey building, what do you think would happen?

Another thing, as has been noted, rigging two of the largest office buildings in the world for demolition would be a large undertaking, a major project indeed. The paper trail would be massive, construction permits, inspections, works singled , delivery to site forms, it goes on and on. So presumably this paper trail exists, something like a major retiring project for both the towers? There would be whitnesses who observed all this construction going on in the building for months.

Honestly there hasn’t 😆

That tower is tipping towards the impact point, which is obvs where the structure was most weakened. But it doesn’t tip any further than that before everything else fails and gravity takes over. If you watch the vid, it tips at that angle, and then stays tipped as it falls until it disappears in a cloud of its own debris.

someone earlier rated this thread as a 3/10, the big red arrow demonstrating the direction of gravity just jacked this up to a 8/10 for me!

My theory is this…. That’s exactly what happens when that particular building gets hit by that particular plane in that particular way on that particular day.

But we would all love to hear what your theory is I’m sure…. the floor is yours.

– ie that thousands of government employees conducted massively destructive and invasive pre-demolition prep on the twin towers which would easily have taken 6 months to a year and no one noticed. No one questioned anything. None of the survivors recall seeing strange men drilling strange holes

Why would it have taken such a massive team? And so long? [/quote]

Because controlled demolitions take a long time. You should probably read about them. For example one of the largest controlled demolitions ever the Afe Tower took 6 months to prep for demolition. It was 381ft tall. 381ft. The Twin towers were 1362ft and 1368ft, so a massively more complicated job.

Keep in mind that that 6 month prep is with complete uninhibited and unrestricted access to the building where they rip the insides to pieces and drill thousands of holes.

Controlled Demolition inc go into some detail about their jobs. For instances when demoliting the Seatle “Kingdome” they

They also destroyed one of the worlds largest department stores (still tiny compared to the WTC and it took them almost a year from start to finish – again, in daylight, all day every day. And conspiracy theorists are suggesting that this was done either at night, in the dark or somehow without knowledge or witness of any of the thousands of people who worked in the WTC.

It would have taken years of work, hundreds if not thousands of workers (which means tens of thousands of conspirators), tens of thousands of tons of explosives and hundreds of miles of detcord.

^ Thing is though, they’ll read that and instead of going “oh yeah, well I guess that’s that theory out the window then!”

They’ll think “Flippin heck, they must have been really good at covering it up” 🙄

Think of your own place of work. Do you believe that someone could for example re wire that or run new network cables in completely secrecy and without being discovered by anyone?

And that’s an entire order of magnitude less than running demolition charges on a massive scale never before seen.

And this is the problem with all this truther stuff. You have to suspend your critical thinking to subscribe to it, whilst pretending you are doing the opposite.

Trucks were arriving every night at the WTC from about August 23rd according to this CIA insider :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6eMq5Rit1w

an unnamed, unverified female says that. Doesn’t make it fact. Doesn’t make it even close to fact.

Again, critical thinking suspended.

go find multiple verified eye witness accounts, provide links to their unedited testimony. correlate that with traffic camera footage etc. identify the drivers of the vehicles, where the vehicles were rented, purchased etc.

Actually find me a truck driver testimony, that would be the first whistleblower. You’d be fanous

Yup.

My theory is that some planes flew into some buildings.
Those buildings, and one other, collapsed due to the damage caused.

I await with baited breath an alternate theory that holds up to even the mildest scrutiny.

I think a building with several thousand workers in it would require several trucks a day to visit it just for normal operation. Americans aren’t exactly shy when it comes to producing trash, there’d be several garbage trucks plus lots of delivery vehicles plus parcel delivery and pickup. Not even got to maintenance yet.

And …. ?

I’m not convinced many people have seen a tower block collapse without it being a controlled demolition. You’d be showing them a video of a building falling down. “yes, that looks just like a building falling down”

How many videos of buildings falling down from other causes have people seen?

The ‘free-fall’ nonsense is just that, nonsense. So that leaves ‘straight down’ bit, but that’s the direction gravity tends to work in so no surprises there, so that leaves ‘minor damage’, well I think it was actually hit by rather a lot of debris wasn’t it? It wasn’t just a few pebbles landing on the roof…So, office fires, well they can get pretty bad if left unchecked, which they pretty much were, and other buildings have suffered structural failure due to fire.

But, let’s assume it did fall at a bizarre speed, in a funny direction, after minor damage and couple of waste paper baskets caught fire. What’s the next step?

How do you leap from “Hmm, that looks a bit unusual, I wonder what happened there” to assuming it was a conspired and secret controlled demolition (for $reasons). Could it not be that there’s more info than you have? Or a mechanism at work you don’t understand? Could it even have been incompetent construction?

But I realise this is all futile, you’ve already decided on your opinion and only information that supports it will be relevant.

What a great thread for outing the fragility of belief systems… 😆

Not sure it would be minor damage, the other towers were circa 1400ft tall!

and if you told them that the two biggest buildings in the world had just fallen down and smashed into the ground right next door causing a massive shock and raining debris on the building that also caught fire?
