1) Actually, things can and do have "speed" and "velocity", it just matters on the context.
Speed is a componant of velocity. Everything that has a velocity automatically has a speed.
4) NIST and their team was were largely made up of people who rely upon the government to obtain their income. They were directly told by the Bush admin what they should look for. i.e. that it was caused by the plane and the fire.
We don't look keenly on unsupported claims here. I take it you will present evidence that the US Administration gave these directives to NIST?
Not to investigate and rule out all possible/plausible situations. NIST violated their own SOP (standard operating procedure) in that they did not investigate all possible senerios. A scientist/engineer will investigate the issue even if they do not feel that it is viable, just to ensure they can 100% rule it out. NIST states they did not pursue this. Against thier SOP.
False. As soon as a given explanation can be ruled out, a good scientist will cease wasting time and effort investigating it. NIST ruled out demolition as an explanation, thus did not waste good time investigating it. They also ruled out a number of other explanations such as a volcano, godzilla, or aliens.
I cannot prove or disprove this, but neither can anyone else.
False. NIST proved it. That was the entire purpose of their report.
How about providing evidence as to how a pool of molten iron can be formed and flowing within the rubble of all 3 WTC's without an external source to generate the temperatures needed?
1) Molten (actually near-molten) steel (not iron) was only found in ONE part of the WTC1/2 site. There was no molten metal found at WTC7, nor was it widespread. This is a classic example of CTer "theory creep" whereby a very minor detail is expanded beyond what the evidence supports. For example "8 mile debris field" to "debris 8 miles away" to "multiple debris fields".
Subterranean fires will burn for a very long time and will burn through a fuel supply very slowly. Because the fires are insulated they will remain at very high temperatures. Burning Mountain in Australia and Centralia, PA are examples of this.
When the WTC towers collapsed tonnes and tonnes of fuel were buried underground along with the extensive fires burning inside the buildings at the time. Left insulated underground, these fires would continue to burn at extreme temperature until all the fuel was consumed.
6) Grainy video?? How about the fact that FIREFIGHTERS are making statements that the largest piece found was a 1" piece of a phone. "No chairs, desks" etc... Not my words the words of a fireman. You believe that there was piles of debris left from the WTC???? There was nothing left of the buildings, even though both was hit diferently they both fell IDENTICALLY.
The briefest glance at the debris will demonstrate some of the pieces were enormous, and the briefest review of the collapses will quickly demonstrate that they did not collapse the same at all, let alone identically.
1) What allowed the other buildings in the area, which received much more damage to remain standing while only WTC1, 2, and 7 fell? WTC 5 was on fire completely for hours and had extreme damage to it, yet it did not collapse. They had to "pull it" latter after the recovery ended.
WTC3, 4, 5 and 6 were low lying buildings with a much larger footprint in relation to their height than WTC1, 2 or 7. As such a collapse is going to be much less likely.
Despite this, WTC3 (22 stories) was torn in half by the collapse of WTC2 and its destruction was completed by WTC1's collapse.
WTC4 (9 stories) was also severly damaged and ultimately had to be demolished.
WTC5 (9 stories) suffered collapse on all but the first 3 floors of the structure due to the collapse of other buildings and fire damage.
WTC6 (7 stories) was severely damaged, with only a shell left, the entire middle of the building having been obliterated. The structure of the building was so severly destroyed on 9/11 that a regular demolition could not be carried out on it. Instead heavy steel cables were used to pull the remaining walls in onto the building.
You claim that these buildings suffered more severe damage than WTC7, 1 and 2, but this is simply not true. For example, the impact zone of WTC2 was 7 stories - the same as the ENTIRE expanse of WTC6 and 78% of the entire expanse of WTC4 and 5.
The buildings that were not totally destroyed - WTC4, 5, and 6, were not highrises, they were lowrises. As such damaged floors were not carrying enormous loads from upper floors.
2) Why was NIST restricted in how it would perform its investigation? Why did it not test for ALL plausible situations per their SOP?
They did. Controlled Demolition is not a plausible scenario.
3) Why does the Government still to this day state that only 1 black box was recovered when rescue workers state they helped the FBI recover 3 of the 4 from the WTC? Why deny this when rescue workers state they were found?
A couple of workers who will not now confirm their story claim to have found them. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever to collaborate their now out-of-date claims.
4) Why does NIST refuse to address the discrepencies found in the FDR from flight 77 and flight 93?
NIST has nothing to do with aircraft crash investigations.
5) Why has the government refused and faught so hard from ANY investigation into the worst attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor.
The criminal and technical investigations commenced immediately on 9/11, and many of them are ongoing. They involved input from a myriad of agencies at both the federal and state level.
The investigation the government resisted was an investigation of the government's failure to stop the attacks prior to 9/11. This was not an investigation into the attacks themselves, but essentially an investigation if the US government were negligent at stopping it. This investigation was created at the demand of victims. While I think such an investigation was sensible (to help prevent future attacks) I can understand the government's reluctance (the families of victims just wanted someone to blame).
