Could years of exhaustive experimentation and testing and the overwhelming documentary evidence be wrong?
Many technical analyses cast doubt on the official explanation of the collapse of three World Trade Center buildings, including those presented by an impressive new group: Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. More difficult than discovering the truth, however, is convincing most of the public to accept the bitter truth.…

Dear God! I can't believe I have to post this again... Now pay attention kids.
For the world trade center to have been imploded, explosives would've had to have been planted on the infrastructure of one of the tallest and most well-guarded buildings in the world. Security was beefed up drastically after the 1993 failed attempt to un-precidented levels... (which is why aircraft were used instead). It would have to be done without the hundreds of guards and monitor cameras noticing. walls would've been torn out to expose girders, structural steel would've had to have been cut or weakened without any one noticing.
On top of that, two planes just happened to crash into the buildings on the very day they were imploded.
What are you smoking???
To implode those building would've required a minimum of 20-50 workers working around the clock, then multiply that by two buildings. The detinations would have to be done by wire to protect against stray radio signals from a police car, firetruck or cab from setting it off, and there weren't any noticible wires running into the buildings from outside or the parking structure beneath. There were no wires running along the floors of offices.
That many people all kept quiet and didn't brag to anyone???

I AM ashamed. It was silly of me to try to talk common sense to these people; wasn't it? One last point of interest.
A big deal has been made of the WTC being designed to withstand multiple strikes from commercial jet liners.
The buildings were designed to withstand hits from Boeing 707s which is what was in commercial use at the time they were built. NOT 767s and 777s with the increased weight and capacity for fuel.
The buildings didn't fall because of the impacts ON THE OUTER STRUCTURAL STEEL-which is what was holding the building up, in fact they absorbed them rather well, the buildings came down because the explosion and resulting fire caused by the jet fuel softened, not the OUTER structural steel, but the light weight INTERNAL girders holding the floor joysts up because the fire proofing was blown off of them by the fuel explosions.
as they heated (the thin steel zig zagged floor joysts) they expanded then sagged, causing one floor to drop to another below increasing the weight on each succeeding floor, until it was impossible to stop the chain reactions.

Jet is right.
Incidentally, Jet goes under the knife today, so wish him well.

I think the op started at 7.30 this morning Ohio time, bliffle. I'm thinking good thoughts and hoping for the best.

I think we have all seen enough real bad B-rated documentaries surrounding 911. I partially think that could be why some Americans don't want to believe that our gov't could commit such a hanis crime.
What shocks the hell out me is that finally someone of significance finally came out and told the truth (this is what we have needed all along to state a case against our gov't)and we still have done nothing about 911. It's sad to think that Americans have forgotten about our constitution. I bet if you asked 100 adults what democracy means - less than half of them could give you the correct definition.
At any rate - I had the pleasure of watching a documentary tonight called 9/11 -Press for the truth - and all though this sounds like every other hokey 9/11 documentary that has been made - it contains no hype, no unproven theorys, just the struggle of the 9/11 survivors to get reasonable answers from our government. It is touching, and at the same time shocking as actual film clips connect the dots in a way that our media should have, but didn't. Every citizen of the US should see this film.

One more thing (after reading some of your Posts)...
Forget about terroists, and the pentagon, and if a building can withstand that type of impact for a few moments - Americans have completely missed the point.
I'll give you one keyword...PAKISTAN and our partnership with them.
9/11 goes alot deeper than conspiracy theories - so much that the average american simply has no idea unless they have conducted extensive research as well as paid attention - and not to the media because the media has just confused the hell out of us. Take it from someone who has worked for The Times.
Watch the documentary I mentioned in my first post - AND PAY ATTENTION! It states only the facts.
