As I have admitted here, my current belief in the CD theory is based on intuition--a gut feeling. This gut feeling is based largely on my impression that official story doesn't add up.
<snipped for brevity>
Then my advice to you would be to quit making assertions of fact based on your gut-feeling-intuition of controlled demolition.
Because when you do, our initial reaction is to ask for you to back it up.

IMHO, that has been provided. We can't force you to look at it, or even accept that it is that.
So, perhaps you should just go ahead and assume that the official explanation is not validated to your satisfaction and that we cannot provide you with what you want/need, and proceed with producing a working theory based on CD.
Then, once you have your theory put together will all the proper research, scientific references, etc., you can then produce this and then we will decide if it meets our criteria for validation.
Because, we are also open to other possible theories, as long as they match our expectations and criteria.
How long do you think it will take for you to produce your theory?
Until then, good luck with your research.
(Note 1: I only speak for myself here, and do not represent the opinions of the rest of the group. With them, YMMV.)
(Note 2: I in no way admit that there is no independent evidence to support the official explanation.) |

I second Pleco's position. We have provided all the necessary independent support/information. Now you can form your own Hypothesis about 9/11 and come back when you do. |

I'll give you speculative, but simple? Yours is by far the most complicated explanation of the two scenarios. There is nothing simple about it. In fact, it is the complexity of implementing the hypothesis that you favor that makes it the least likely of the two.
That complexity, on every level, is exactly what makes it an extraordinary claim…

It's not a fcuknig claim!!! I was asked to explain how a CD could be accomplished where the explosions occur after the building starts falling. And I gave a scenario of how that could be done.
You have "claim" and "prove it" on the brain. Is there no room on this site to discuss ideas that are not claims or proofs? |

As my op clearly points out, I am trying to gather evidence that supports the official conspiracy theory of what happened to Towers 1 & 2 of the WTC. This effort is not a claim--it is a request.
It's that simple.
But I'm beginning to suspect that the only evidence you people have that supports the final NIST Report is information and claims found in the final NIST Report or supplied by some other Federal office. And that's okay. Reading and re-reading the NIST Report makes it pretty obvious that the events we all saw just don't line up so well with what NIST concluded in their final report.
Sure, NIST explains some of the events we saw. But the events (in total) were not just unrelated, isolated events. They formed a system. To simulate the behavior of materials until the buildings "were poised to collapse" and simulating the entire, complete collapse of the those buildings is 2 different things.
It's interesting to note that most of the alternative conspiracy theories I've read focus on events that occurred while and after the buildings completely collapsed. I think they probably do that because it is the collapse itself, and the evidence at the scene after the collapse that doesn't add up with the official story of why they collapsed. It must be a coincidence that both NIST and the 9/11 Commission were told the scope of their work was to begin at airplane impact and end just before the buildings actually started to collapse. |

Oh sorry. I didn't mean for you to get your knickers in a bunch over this. Let me rephrase then…
That complexity, on every level, is exactly why the theory that you have said that you favor, many times on this and in other threads, would need extraordinary supporting evidence if it is to be taken seriously…
How's that?

Read their interesting analysis on controlled demolition scenario of WTC.
quote: A critical analysis of the collapse of WTC Towers 1, 2 & 7 from an explosives and conventional demolition industry viewpoint
<snip>
Purpose
The purpose of this analysis is to explore the possibility of explosives or similar suplemental catalysts causing or contributing to the collapse of World Trade Center...
<snip>
This report will not, nor it it intended to, address the much wider scope of unanswered questions regarding those events. Rather this is a reasoned, factual analysis of a single group of questions and allegations that fall within our specific area of expertise. To that end, we hope that this report will be of benefit to all interested parties.
While the NIST report does not explicitly exclude nor comment on controlled demolition, a controlled demolition scenario and the NIST report looke to me like they are mutually exclusive. What other alternatives are there that are remotely plausible? If they are mutually exclusive, then an analysis that rule out one scenario will support the other.

And the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?
There can be defined a group called Males that is mutually exclusive from a group called Females. Proving that Males cannot fly does not provide evidence that Females can.
But thanks for your post. It got me thinking about me stance that if the official conspiracy theory is supported well enough, that I would drop the CD conspiracy theory. But of course, it is possible that the complete collapse could have happened without explosives, even if explosives were used. (Note, this is not a claim.) I mean Kevin Ryan, from Underwriters Laboratories, did his own statistical analysis in a recent letter regarding the NIST report. He argued that probabilities of collapse-initiation needed to be calculated (http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20041112144051451).
NIST, to my knowledge, provides no such likelihood analysis for their non-explosive collapse model. Ryan's analysis shows the probability that fires and damage could cause a complete collapse of the towers is less than one in a trillion, and the probability is much less when the complete collapse of WTC7 is included.
And given the fact that NIST doesn't even attempt to explain why the buildings completely collapsed--or any of the damage to materials of the buildings, or evidence found after the buildings fell, I'll just go ahead and look for evidence of the cd conspiracy theory, and leave the official conspiracy theory in the dust it can't explain. |
