So then what happened to it if the explosives failed?

At one time the vertical core rebar failed to detonate and at another some of the cutting charges didn't detonate


I thought they decayed? how is that optimal?

The placement and distribution were optimal. This says nothing about fouled construction processes and critical explosive paths being left out in harsh weather.


1300 foot fall should do the trick

A fall like that will not make these cuts

c4 isnt a specialized cutting charge

No it isn't but it's application is specialized

Jezus, you're making this up as you go, don't you?

What does your doctor say?

His doctor went to the Golden Gate Bridge after the third session with Christophera .... to test Chris´s "free-fall" theorie ... :boggled:
 
I understand all of it and have already provided dynamic corroboration. The uniform selectivity I'm faced with is not reasonable.

"The whole world is WRONG, friends. I AM RIGHT. The sun rises in the WEST!"

To be reasonable examine the consistency of the web sites description of the concrete core when the core is mentioned.

The consistency of ONE web site that happens to be YOURS.

There are mentions of steel on some of those pages but that is just the confusion. The uniformity is the important, real information.

Some ? All but ONE!

By itself perhaps not. With all of the corroboraton of the above link, the inability of anyone to come up with a reasonable explanation for what this is if it not steel becomes basically conclusive. No other core can be substantiated.

I agree with you. I can only be steel. Thanks for changing your mind, finally.

As I said. The images from construction of the core were not very many to begin with because the thing is being poured inside a 40 foot deep hole 50 to 35 feet from the outer walls. there was rarely enough light.

Of course, this all makes sense if you ignore the fact that THAT'S NOT HOW YOU POUR A CONCRETE CORE.

Why in the blue HELL would they want to HIDE the core BEFORE they decided to blow up the buildings ? Why hide something if there's no reason to ?

The old addage about liars, recall?

I don't know. That ONE floor plan seems to fit it all.
 
Show me one that shows steel core columns at construction

We have. Unfortunately you seem to think that those 47 steel columns are BOX columns. Why they'd need so many eludes me, because there's no reason to IF YOU'RE GOING TO POUR CONCRETE THERE.

ORIGINAL core IMAGE

More dust.

Apparently you can not conduct comprehensive "reasoning".

I can understand why you put your own brand of reasoning inside scare quotes.

You have provided no adequate reasoning with consideration of the; missing plans, the missing steel, the 3 different sets of plans for the FEMA core

So are the plans missing or are there too many of them ?

no core columns seen in raw evidence which does show things that can really only be concrete.

Still no raw evidence.

Huh. Light reflecting off the concrete, only in specific places on the concrete and only in a way that, from ALL angles, gives the specific illusion of beign steel. That's damn good invisicretetm.

From what I can tell WTC 1 had problems with decay of some of the explosives

You can TELL that some of the explosives had DECAYED ??? How the hell did you manage that ?

Yes, that would be the case. Optimally placed explosives that are well distributed will not seriously damage heavy structural steel which is immediately adjacent.

Steel, chris. NOT Adamantium.

Now you are getting an idea of what it would take to cut 47, 1,300 foot steel columns into 40 foot pieces.

Gravity.

At one time the vertical core rebar failed to detonate and at another some of the cutting charges didn't detonate

Oh, so you don't "know", you just make it up while looking at pictures. Got it.

A fall like that will not make these cuts

Chris, those cuts were made by contruction workers for transportation, AFTER the collapse. Get your facts straight.
 
Yes, there is more information in the original.

ORIGINAL core IMAGE

Lol, every few days I check this thread and everytime I see hem posting the same picture over and over again. Each time I laugh.

So, if get it right, Cristophera gets all his information about the core out of this bbc news picture?

sorry long post!!

from a section of the christorphera site “Explosions In The Basement”:-

Explosions In The Basement.

http://jfk2wtc.tripod.com/

Mike told his co-worker to call upstairs to their Assistant Chief Engineer and find out if everything was all right. His co-worker made the call and reported back to Mike that he was told that the Assistant Chief did not know what happened but that the whole building seemed to shake and there was a loud explosion. They had been told to stay where they were and "sit tight" until the Assistant Chief got back to them.

...............

The two decided to ascend the stairs to the C level, to a small machine shop where Vito Deleo and David Williams were supposed to be working. When the two arrived at the C level, they found the machine shop gone.
"There was nothing there but rubble" Mike said. "We’re talking about a 50 ton hydraulic press -gone!" The two began yelling for their co-workers, but there was no answer. They saw a perfect line of smoke streaming through the air. "You could stand here," he said, "and two inches over you couldn't breathe. We couldn't see through the smoke so we started screaming." But there was still no answer.

........

The two made their way to the parking garage, but found that it, too, was gone. ‘There were no walls, there was rubble on the floor, and you can't see anything’ he said

........

No walls, NO WALLS!!! Those were steel reinforced concrete walls, the centralized rebar of the walls coated with C4 removed the walls completely. The surviving engineers were protected by the efficiency of the blast which pulverized the concrete and filled the air with dust and high heat, floating the particles at the top of the room.


he sources the quotes to:- http://jfk2wtc.tripod.com/ a now defunct CT effort at tripod.
the quotes can be found elsewhere (in what might be the original story ?) this lengthy article is composed of the memories of quite a few workers who were present at the WTC on 9/11.
i have selected only excerpts from the story of Mike Pecoraro as these contain the quotes used by christophera and they are the most relevant to the points i want to make about some of his ludicrous claims.
mikes story is a long, highly moving account of the events that day so i felt i must reproduce the whole of mike pecararo's story for sentimental reasons if nothing else. the most revealing parts though are those before mike pecararo reaches the WTC1 lobby.
anyway, if anyone else interested will read this story they may, like me, see major discrepancies in the methods christophera uses to bolster his “explosion in the basement” claim, i will detail these concerns in another post soon. i'm on shopping duty with "she who must be obeyed" and wont be back for an hour or two.



I'D LIKE TO ASK CHRISTOPHERA TO INDICATE IF HE, LIKE ME, CAN SEE IF THE CONCLUSIONS HE DRAWS ABOUT "EXPLOSIONS IN THE BASEMENT" HAVE ANY VALIDITY AFTER READING THE FULL ACCOUNT OF MIKE PECARARO'S STORY BELOW?

christophera's "explosion in the basement" quotes are boxed for clarity.
what i think are highly revealing details that are convieniently “overlooked” are in my bold

Mikes Story

[EXCERPTS FROM]

We Will Not Forget

A Day of Terror

Mike Pecoraro was working as a Stationary Engineer in WTC1 on 9/11
September 11th, 2001 dawned in New York as a crystal clear day - a perfect day. Throughout the city, Stationary Engineers were readying their buildings for the Tuesday morning influx of tenants. Everything and everyone was at the city's normal hastened pace. None knew that within just a few hours, their city and the lives of everyone within would never again be the same.
Mike Pecoraro had gotten up from bed at 4 a.m. to make his normal 2 hour commute from his Long Island home to the World Trade Center, where he worked as a Stationary Engineer on a roving crew that serviced all of the buildings at the complex. The 36 year-old father of two stopped and bought breakfast on the way into One World Trade Center and changed into his work clothes. At about 6:45 he went to the mechanical shop in the second subbasement, ate his breakfast and chatted with his co-workers who were also arriving for the normal 8:00 a.m. beginning of their shift. Mike's assignment that day would be to continue constructing a gantry that would be used to pull the heads from the 2,500 ton chillers, located in the 6th sub- basement level of the tower. 49,000 tons of refrigeration equipment were located in the lower level of the tower. The 2,500 ton units were the smallest in use.
Donning his hearing protection, respirator, gloves and eye protection, Mike, along with another engineer, began the work day using a large grinder to smooth down the welds on steel they were using for the gantry. Deep underground, in an area surrounded by solid bedrock, the noise made by the grinder reverberated from the walls as sparks flew from the spinning grinding wheel.
Deep below the tower, Mike Pecoraro was suddenly interrupted in his grinding task by a shake on his shoulder from his co-worker. "Did you see that?" he was asked. Mike told him that he had seen nothing. "You didn't see the lights flicker?", his co-worker asked again. "No," Mike responded, but he knew immediately that if the lights had flickered, it could spell trouble. A power surge or interruption could play havoc with the building's equipment. If all the pumps trip out or pulse meters trip, it could make for a very long day bringing the entire center's equipment back on-line.


from christophera's site:-
Mike told his co-worker to call upstairs to their Assistant Chief Engineer and find out if everything was all right. His co-worker made the call and reported back to Mike that he was told that the Assistant Chief did not know what happened but that the whole building seemed to shake and there was a loud explosion. They had been told to stay where they were and "sit tight" until the Assistant Chief got back to them.

"We smelled kerosene," Mike recalled, "I was thinking maybe a car fire was upstairs", referring to the parking garage located below grade in the tower but above the deep space where they were working.

from christophera's site:-
The two decided to ascend the stairs to the C level, to a small machine shop where Vito Deleo and David Williams were supposed to be working. When the two arrived at the C level, they found the machine shop gone.
"There was nothing there but rubble" Mike said. "We’re talking about a 50 ton hydraulic press - gone!" The two began yelling for their co-workers, but there was no answer. They saw a perfect line of smoke streaming through the air. "You could stand here," he said, "and two inches over you couldn't breathe. We couldn't see through the smoke so we started screaming." But there was still no answer.
The two made their way to the parking garage, but found that it, too, was gone. ‘There were no walls, there was rubble on the floor, and you can't see anything’ he said


They decided to ascend two more levels to the building's lobby. As they ascended to the B Level, one floor above, they were astonished to see a steel and concrete fire door that weighed about 300 pounds, wrinkled up "like a piece of aluminum foil" and lying on the floor. "They got us again," Mike told his co-worker, referring to the terrorist attack at the center in 1993. Having been through that bombing, Mike recalled seeing similar things happen to the building's structure. He was convinced a bomb had gone off in the building. Mike walked through the open doorway and found two people lying on the floor. One was a female Carpenter and the other an Elevator Operator. They were both badly burned and injured. Realizing he had to get help, Mike ascended to the Lobby Level where he met Arti DelBianco, a member of his work crew. People were now coming down the same stairway from above the lobby and Arti and Mike had to stay where they were to direct people out of the stairway door and into the building's lobby. If they didn't, people descending could walk past the lobby door and unwittingly keep descending into the sublevels of the building.
Mike Pecoraro and Arti made their way out of Tower One and went to Tower Two. They encountered a crowd of people standing outside the tower, not knowing what had happened. Apparently, they had witnessed a fireball come through the lobby after the second airplane had struck that tower, but they were entering directly from the subway underground and had as yet, no idea of what was happening. Mike and Arti told them all to leave and go home. They then made their way to 4 World Trade Center where they encountered a guard who initially was refusing to leave her post. "Just go home," Mike told her. "You don't have a job, it's done". Reluctantly, the guard left and walked towards the north side of the complex.

Still believing that a helicopter had struck the tower, Mike finally learned the truth when two female police officers informed him of the jetliners. Feeling that they were not doing enough, the two decided to go back to One World Trade Center to see what they could do to help and to take another look in the 4th subbasement for Vito Deleo and David Williams.

A search of the subbasements again turned up no one. The building at this point almost seemed empty. A telephone was ringing in one of the shops. Mike answered it and found a tenant on the other end requesting that the heat be turned off in their office.

"I just shook my head and hung the phone up," he said. He wanted to call his wife and tell her that he was okay, but could not get through on the line. He finally managed to reach his wife's employer and asked her to relay a message to his wife that he was all right.

Mike and Arti then decided to make their way to the Pump House which was located away from the buildings at the far end of the complex. The World Trade Center used water from the river for their condenser needs. This water was pumped through a 60 inch main, fed by large pumps located in the Pump House, near the river. Their walk there would take them again through 2 World Trade Center.

No sooner had the two reached Tower 2 when Mike stopped and turned to Arti. "I have a bad feeling," he told Arti. " I don't know what's in there, but I know what's back there," he said indicating Tower 1 where they were. The two decided to go back to 1 World Trade Center, cut through the lobby and make their way around the complex using a different, longer route to the Pump House.

When they re-entered Tower 1, they saw more people coming down the same stairwell where they had earlier been assisting. "They were more hurt, more burnt, more tired," he said. They helped them exit the building asking each if there was anyone up the stairs that needed assistance. "We'll just run up and we'll grab them and get them out," he told them. But each person reported that there was no one in the stairwell that they had passed. Finally, a Port Authority worker descended the stairwell. They asked him if there was anyone left up in the building. The man said nothing, just shook his head and exited the building.

Mike and Arti decided it was time to leave as well. They left the stairwell and re-entered the lobby. As they walked to the exit, they heard a roar and the floor began to shake.

"Banging so hard that we fell down on our knees," he said. "I'm looking south, at the building, Arti's looking at me, we locked eyes and he is screaming at the top of his lungs...I can barely hear this guy. He's screaming, "What the f? is that?", and I am screaming back at him, that I think it's another plane".
In reality, as the two were kneeling in the lobby of 1 World Trade Center, its sister building, 2 World Trade Center, was crashing down upon them.
"The building was just bouncing and bouncing, the floor was bouncing. I figured another plane already hit the building". Mike related. "I'm looking ahead and I see all the windows, either three story tall windows or four story tall windows, 10 feet wide; shatter. All of them broke at the same time. All the glass flew over my head. I'm looking up, on my knees, with my hands on the floor, and I saw all that glass. You're talking glass three inches thick, go right over our heads. I saw that some of the firemen who was standing on the perimeter (mezzanine) was blown right off the top. They just flew over the top. I can't put a number on it, maybe ten. Bunch of firemen were guarding doors there. They got blown off. Don't know where they went. I saw pieces of debris as big as cars go right over my head without stopping. Like a line drive right over my head," he said, raising his hand to indicate an approximate 4 foot level.
"I put my head down, put my hands over my head. I still had gloves in my hand. I put the gloves over my head and there was a wind that came through the revolving doors that blew me?100 feet to the far wall, right by the visitor's desk. The floor was covered with sheetrock (powdered) and water so it was like a soup. It was very slippery".

"You couldn't see anything now. There was dust in the room. My eyes were covered with dust and debris. I got hit in the back of the head with something so hard I fractured my elbow on the floor. Something stuck in the back of my calf and I just got beat all over the left side of my body. Then the building started bouncing even harder. So hard it was lifting me off the floor, bouncing me on the floor".

"I had somebody fall on top of me. That freaked me out. I kicked that person off me because I didn't want them on me. And then it just stopped. It was dead quiet. There was no sound except this hissing sound coming from? I believe it was steam pipes, at the edge of One World Trade Center. There was no people, no sounds, there was just quiet. I was alive!"

"I still had my flashlight in my holder, my walkie-talkie was split in half. I couldn't call anybody. I turned the flashlight on, people jumped all over me, that must have been standing right next to me. I don't know who they were. All they wanted was help. How do we get out? I turned the flashlight off and put it back in my holder because it didn't do a damn thing (within the thick dust) and I told them, just follow me. I told them I was an engineer in the building, I think I know where I am, follow me out, we're gonna give it a try. There was pandemonium. Nobody would listen to me. They just left. I don't know where they went or who they were".

Mike was having trouble breathing in the thick dust. He cut a piece of cloth from his T-shirt and put it over his face. Arti was nowhere around him. He couldn't hear him and certainly couldn't see him. Mike heard a sound near him in the dust. He crawled towards the sound. The sound was coming from a fireman lying on the floor near him. Some type of alarm was apparently triggered on the fireman's air pack. Mike tried to wake the fireman, but there was no response. He tried to get to the fireman's air pack and mask but could not see through the dust how to remove it or get to the air he so desperately needed.

In desperation, Mike grabbed the fireman's coat, relit his flashlight and began dragging the unconscious fireman out of the building. "He was easy to drag," Mike said. "the floor was so slippery". He moved in the direction he thought was out, but he was wrong. If Mike had turned left, he would have easily exited the lobby. But, blinded by the dust and disoriented from the pounding he had received, he turned right and was forced to travel three-quarters of the distance of the building before finally reaching a door.

Along the way, another fireman came out of the dust and grabbed at Mike. "Who are you?" he yelled. Mike told him he was an engineer in the building. The fireman replied: "Good; how do we get the hell out of here?" Mike replied: "I'm not really sure. I thought this was the way out and now I'm not sure".
More firemen appeared through the dust, they grabbed the unconscious fireman who Mike was dragging and said "let's go!" Slowly moving through the thick cloud, Mike led the fireman through the lobby. "There was piles of stuff on the floor," he said. "I don't know what it was. There were people on the floor we were falling over". Somehow, Mike managed to lead them to the South Entrance of the tower to a door which led to the Marriott Hotel. Debris blocked all of the doors from the building. The men managed to move through broken windows to the outside. "That's when we started to hear people hitting the ground," Mike said.

In a state of shock, Mike and the firemen watched as bodies struck the ground in front of them. "They were just bouncing off the ground right in
front of us," he said, emotion filling his voice. "I saw people jumping before I came back in to the building," he said. "They were jumping, about one every minute, maybe every two minutes. Now you're talking one every five seconds hitting the ground".

"I said this is ********. Whatever the hell that was, I lived through that, and now I'm going to get killed by some guy jumping out of the building? You could hear them. You could hear them hitting the ground. It was like nothing you ever heard before. It was a very hollow, soft sound. And you knew exactly what it was. They must have seen the other building come down and just mass exited the building".

A fireman grabbed Mike and said, "You know what you're going to do? You're going to start running and you're going to hit the wall in front of the building. One way or another, you're going to keep running!"

Mike told the fireman, "all right", and made a break from the building. "I made it about four feet out the front of the building and I fell over somebody that was on the ground," Mike said. Scrambling back to his feet he contin-ued a dash through the dust towards the outside. "When I tell you the stuff (dust) on the street was a foot deep, that's conservative. I'd say over a foot deep. It was like walking through a blizzard of snow".

Mike ran north and suddenly found himself out of the dust cloud. He saw fireman and fire trucks lined up the street. Finally, he could breathe. The firemen who had been with him stayed in the building; perhaps to regroup. Mike never found out or saw them again.

Mike continued walking north, one block, then another. Eventually he reached a small garden intersection where, sitting on a bench, he found Arti.
"When I accepted a job downtown," Mike Pecoraro, a survivor of the World Trade Center told us, "my wife broke down and started crying. She didn't want me working in another building".

Lol, every few days I check this thread and everytime I see hem posting the same picture over and over again. Each time I laugh.

So, if get it right, Cristophera gets all his information about the core out of this bbc news picture?
[qimg]http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1540000/images/_1540044_world_trade_structure300.gif[/qimg]

Oh crap, so it is true? We have to take a better look at this picture which the Beeb posted a day after the events. The artist prolly saw Christophera's 'documentary' as well. Chris, why don't you try to contact the BBC? Maybe they have a copy of the 'documentary' hidden somewhere in underground London.
 
no core columns? then wtf are these in the pic below? which by your own definition must be "raw evidence" as they are lifted from YOUR OWN SOURCE. where is the evidence of a concrete core in the pic below?

I've never seen it that clear before. Man, zoomed in like that, makes it one horrifying picture :(

No, you get it wrong. Try reading deeper.

I simply use that picture to show the confusion, the inconsistency that exists surrounding the core which is supported by the taking and hiding of the WTC plans in the mayors warehouse.

Here is the core I know stood.
