Default Hello... actually looking for a professional opinion

Hey,

My name is Matt I am looking for the professional opinion of member(s) here on the possibility that WTC1 & WTC2 were controlled demolitions,

I personally think that such a thing is impossible due to the amount of work involved, if i understand the process correctly basicly the building has to be gutted, all non support walls removed ( they might change the way the building falls if they can carry the load for even a few milliseconds ) structural members drilled and filled with explosives plus a thousand other things.

now i may be completely wrong but i just wanted to get the story from people who would know thank you

Matt,
This has been the subject of so much conspiracy theory on various websites that is really become the dead horse that people continue to beat. The destruction of both buildings was caused by the structural failures of the buildings from the impact of the planes. The intense heat weakened the steel and the simple interaction of weight and gravity caused the failures. Its one of the great tradegies of our time, but it was the act of terrorists in the planes, not by placed charges.

Besides, tell me how any size crew can prep that much steel and place charges without getting noticed. Its not like torching steel is quiet.....

enough trolling....

First off, Welcome to DemolitionForum!

James

Second, We have talked about adding this topic in the past and came to the conclusion that it would be in the best inertest not too. We have seen too many forums turned into nasty political topics and turned member against other members. For that exact reason we choose not discuss politics here.

I am not trying to troll...

I am trying to produce a video to refute "Loose Change " and the like and was hopeing to get professional opinions and get some professionals "On Record" and interviewed to prove this could never have happened this way,

I AGREE there is NO WAY that the building was demo'ed and anyone with half a brain and a little reading can see that but i still need qualified experts to tell me it could never have happened like that plus maybe some video footage from the inside of buildings being prepped for demo

that was all iwas looking for.

thank you though for your response.

Matt,
Gravity works at 32'/2nd second. Move a building as tall as those mentioned, even just 1' and you'll create tremendous energy release and failures in every imaginable direction.
Let me place 500 pounds on your shoulders and drop you 1' off a ladder...get the point!

I am not argueing that ...

I would just like to get some credentialed professionals to do a few interviews ...

let me make this PERFECTLY CLEAR !!!!

I AGREE THE WTC TOWERS WERE NOT DEMO'ED, but i am a computer tech and as such my opinion is worthless on this matter, I just need a few "On the Record" interviews that is all...

the first plane hit the north tower with 3.5 Billion joules worth of kinetic energy, (roughly the force of a 2000 lb bomb) plus the fires et al... and the construction of the towers made them an "easy" victim of pancake failure,

the second plane was much faster and hit the second tower with 5.2 billion joules of kinetic energy

i am not trying to argue a point , just trying to get an interview with someone who knows their stuff.

Alright everybody has said their peace let's move on.

This is why, We here don't like having this topic being discussed.
