WTC7: The Twoofer Epiphany.

Twoofers cling to WTC7 so tightly because it at least looks like what they claim it is.

Doesn't sound at all like a demolition though, which is why they turned to thermite.
 
Out of all the crap they have 7 is the most believeable. It is too obvious that the other stuff is bogus. If we had high quality pictures/videos of the damaged side of the building up to and during the collapse our job would be a whole lot easier.


Have you seen these?

Do you deny that WTC7 was completely unaffected by the collapse of the adjacent tower?
I think you mean "Do you believe."
 
Twoofers cling to WTC7 so tightly because it at least looks like what they claim it is.

So true.

Remember, initially the claims were that the towers 1 and 2 fell in what looked like controlled demolition. There were plenty of quotes around where people said, "It was like when those buildings are demolished" and we had the "they fell in their own footprints" stuff.

Of course, when people started looking into it (video is available) it was shown that they in fact did NOT look like any CDs that had ever taken place (I remember back in the first thread on this when Dr Adequate posted a link to a page with 30 or so CDs, not a single one looked anything like the WTC towers falling) and that debris was spread all over the place, so they didn't fall "in their own footprint." In fact, that the towers falling was so bloody obvious that they retreated from "it looks like a CD" to "it was made to NOT look like a CD" (how's that for coming full circle?)

Upon initial glance, WTC7 at least looks like the buildings falling in the demolition videos, partially because all we have is remote video of the backside. Of course, analyzed more closely, we can see that it has characteristics atypical of a CD, both visually, and, more importantly, in the audio.

Doesn't sound at all like a demolition though, which is why they turned to thermite.

"No building has ever fallen from fires alone, therefore, we propose it was a CD using thermite. Of course, no controlled demolition has ever been carried out using thermite, either, and we have no explanation for how the thermite charges were planted, but our unprecedented situation requiring massive consipiracy makes more sense than the unprecedented idea that fire caused it, even though it really isn't unprecedented and there are examples of steel buildings collapsing because of fire damage."
 
I'm very open minded but cannot simply accept this.


Open minded? That phrase may have a different meaning in your country. Here, "open minded" doesn't mean "immune to reason." Allow me to remind you of some of your first posts here.

einsteen being open minded about Twin Towers having demolitons explosives built in.
The latest thing I've heard a from a guy who worked there was that the twin towers already build-in bombs in case it should be brought down in cases of emergency. He rejects any alternative theory but is sure they were there already. http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1894549&postcount=2965



einsteen being open minded about his claim that a plume of smoke larger than WTC 7 rose in front of that building before the towers collapsed.
No I mean those strange plooms that you see a few stories behind the demolition wave, but I agree that a progressive collapse is able to take that into accont, it's a minor thing which I ignore from now on (although the evil can be in the details), alright then, probably a wave in some core element, whatever.

That ploom, that movie. Are you serious ? Is this the scientific way of debunking ? What an insult to the people who noticed this, the brave Americans noticing in which way their country is under attack. A CNN frame. The south tower just collapsed ? What the ... There is a whole damned movie and both twin towers are standing ? 99.999999999% chance they are standing at that moment. And I didn't mention wtc7 in relation with this. wtc7 is a different story though possiby another 'smoking gun'

After being corrected about the plume for a second time, einsteen remains open minded.
@Gravy

I did my homework, there are definitely two towers standing

Do you agree with that fact or do you disagree and think that there is one tower standing because someone cut and pasted an other image over the two towers at the debunking site.

Do I have to explain the pictures with aspect ratios, I'm sure Gravy that you are intelligent enough to see that there are two towers standing.

einsteen being open minded about flight 77 hitting the Pentagon, and what the Pentagon may have been made of.
And then there are all those other things (too many) like the 5 frames of the thing that hits the pentagon near the ground. Show the vaporized plane or whatever it was and the CT'ers have no ground. What's so secret about it, we are allowed to see pictures from inside why not a video of da plane, da plane. I'm sure there must be more video evidence of what happened, i guess if I walk there with a toothpick they notice me.

Ok, spam..

plane + special absorbing wall = dust
plane + traditional non absorbing wall = hole + wreckage etc.
einsteen keeping an open mind about the laws of physics, and about magic.
If you consider the south tower (the one without antenna) then a block that turns a little bit and triggers a kind of process is quite interesting. The block will follow a simple parabolic track. It is of course in high contrast with "the merging of floors continuing their downward path"

The block itself also collapsed, because otherwise it should stay intact until it reaches the ground somewhere. It is impossible to collapse in the air because there is no initial 'helping hand' to let that block (that follows its own "free fall" part in the air) collapse, because it's assumed that the whole magical collapse process starts if the block collapses on the floor below. Why would the block also atomize into dust ? the magical process is a progressive collapse from top to down, under the damaged zone. Does the magical process flow back into the falling block ? That must be a smart process. The same argument for the other building.

Well, whether it topples of not, it is assumed to start the magical process, it is assumed that the total mass of the block at top containing n floors will 'merge' with the floor below and that this (n+1) store floor will repeat the process but then with a new speed. It is obvious from the movies that once things pulverize it does not merge as a new block, small particles like dust will reach their maximal speed very quickly, a lot of mass is 'hanging' in the air as you an see, ok but alright then, if you assume this you get a theoretical bottom value, for a total elastic (billiard balls) situation the collapse you get a theoretial upper value, the real value then must be between this, of course the situation becomes extremely complex and an exact calculation is not trivial.

English not my first language but I know the difference between "pull them" and "pull it"

To be honest I really don't care about the whole "pull it" movie, it is very short and vague, it even can be cut and paste work.

But what I personally don't understand, the guy is still alive, what kind of journalists do they have in the USA ?(Here we call criticless journalists whorenalists) Just ask them what he means ad what he has to say about it. Apart from this the damned thing collapsed, a proper fact, buildings don't lie.

No, I had not seen those. Interesting, will study them later.

But Gravy. What is that channel running up the building? It looks too clean to be the 'hole' and too high.

It is damage. Debris takes out bays between columns, causes progressive collapse...makes sense to me. It may not be as "clean" as it appears in these low-res images. This photo doesn't preclude damage lower down.

I agree. What's that black gash? If it's a damage, how coult it have happened?

I thought it could a shadow but the smoke would have altered it for sure.

Other than that, and as far as we can see, the damage is limited. Actually, more limited than this one: bankers building

Of course, you'll say that numerous accounts mention the huge hole at the base of the building, the corner damage etc..

But nope, i'm still not convinced.

PS: can we get the source for that picture. getting the whole video might be VERY interesting for all of us!!!!!!

There's a logical fallacy here: circular reasoning, denying of the antecedent?


Bush: Ok, we need to get rid of vague, but bad, records in WC7.

Rice: So we have people shred the documents and wipe any disks? Maybe 10-20 people, tops? Very quiet. Easy. We could get it done in a weekend maybe.

Cheney: No, that's just what they'd expect us to do.

Rice: Ooooh-kay. Well, then we have a break in and start a fire near the offices. Take away some of the bad files and make sure that the damage destroys the rest. Not as easy, but still maybe 10-20 people. May have some people hurt, of course, if the fire spreads.

Bush: Fire. Fire good.

Cheney: No, no. It's been done. The whole Reichstag thing.

Rice: Um. Hmm. Ok, we have a bomb planted in WC7. Same deal -- maybe 5 or 10 guys involved, in and out, takes out a floor or two and maybe starts a fire.

Bush: Fire pretty.

Cheney: We need more. Something BIG. And a bomb by itself wasn't enough in 1993.

Rice: That was a lot bigger, and we don't have to bring dow-

Cheney: No, I've got it! We can use the bomb idea, but We have muslim terrorist take over a plane, too. No, planes -- maybe 3 or 4.

Rice: . . .

Cheney: Yeah, that's it. It's perfect.

Rice: So you've got perfectly good bombs, but you want planes to ram the building?

Cheney: Don't be silly. These planes will ram other buildings nearby -- like WC1 or 2 -- so that when they collapse, we can use the excuse that the falling debris and flames caused WC7 to fall, too.

Bush: I think I found a quarter.

Rice: But planes hitting the buildings -- assuming that they can -- might not bring down WC1 and 2. It hasn't been done before, we can't be sure that would work -- wouldn't it be easier to jus-

Cheney: More explosives!!

Rice: Wha-? Do you know how BIG those buildings are? You'll need hundreds of people and weeks of prep-

Cheney: Yes, just to be sure, we'll add even more explosives to WC1 and 2, so that when the planes hit, we can trigger the explosives and guarantee the buildings come down.

Rice: Then why do we need the planes at all?

Cheney: Women. you just don't understand these things.

Bush: Yeah.

--------------------

Oh yes, that makes perfect sense.
 
I think it's the opposite, it's often the first thing that makes them doubt the official account wouldn't you think?


I agree with Demon. I think twoofers approach the 9/11 thing with a desperate a priori need to believe, because it gives them a false sense of significance and belonging. They eventually fasten onto WTC7 because it's the least ridiculous of their theories -- not because there's even a scintilla of truth to it, but because more attention has been paid to WTC1 and 2 and the Pentagon. It's the same reason Killtown is so obsessed with Shanksville. There's absolutely nothing to his nonsense of course, but compared to other aspects of 9/11, Shanksville has gotten somewhat less attention, so the mountain of evidence isn't quite as high.

If WTC7 never existed, the same people would probably still find some other reason to believe in the 9/11 conspiracy. It's the belief itself that's important, not the evidence for it. That probably says something about people in general, but I don't like to dwell on it for too long...
 
This is what bothers me about WTC 7. I watched 911 live on the day and I am sure at some stage I would have seen it collapse. I honestly cannot recall. The events of this day were so massive that the collapse of an unoccupied building after all else that went one was not really that troublesome.

Looked at the collapse of WTC 7, yes it does look like a controlled demolition. This is what the twoothers build their entire case upon. They look for further things to reinforce the already predetermined notion that just because it looked like a controlled demolition it was in fact a controlled demolition. Although how on earth a building that fell to the ground after it suffered catastrophic structural failure is supposed to look like if not like a controlled demo beats me.

So when Silverstone said in an interview “they decided to pull it". It is, in their minds the building. It could not be the operation, despite the fact that it has been said over and over again this is actually what he was referring it. Added then is the fact that no plane hit, yes no plane hit it but two very large buildings at the side of it collapsed. The damage that this alone caused to WTC 7 is still being investigated. This in its self is then added to the conspiracy. The very fact that a thorough investigation is going on it to it asserting why the building collapse. In twoofy land this is further proof that "they” are covering it all up. The very point to the investigation is lost on them. It is to offer up recommendations to ensure that it never happens again. When the damage and fires cause a 47 story building to collapse people want to know why, people want to know how safe are the rest of the planets tall buildings. People want to know what can be done to improve safety inside these buildings to ensure that other building doesn’t collapse. Ah but the troothers say “ No steel frame building as ever collapsed due to fire before” exactly, that is why it is so important to find out exactly why it did ( there have actually but that is beside the point)

WTC 7, in my opinion a gathering together of as yet unexplained events and mixing them with wishful thinking. Simply blurring it all into one desperate theory whereby nasty death squads secretly ran the 911 operation from within this building, and to cover their tracks they had to blow it up. It is simply absurd that anybody could run a mass murder plot from a building right next to two buildings that they knew were going to collapse. Or the other theories are that it had to be destroyed to destroy precious files stored inside it. What? Why not just take the things out beforehand? Why not just let the fires destroy them? How could they be so certain that demolishing a building would destroy them?

And what of the firemen who heard it groaning, saw it leaning over, saw the massive full on fires? Oh well according to twoothy land there are no clear photographs, nothing on youtube showing this, so it didn’t happen.

And the greatest mistake of all that was made was that they actually allowed it all to be filmed. They waited until the dust settled, cleared the area, and actually told the world’s media to film it and broadcast it live to the entire planet.

It takes a special person to concoct such an extraordinarily stupid plan, one that relies totally on so many unknowns. Unknown amount of damage from the collapsing towers, unknown amount of damage from the fires, unknown amount of people seeing and filming it all. It relies totally on whatever explosives were inside this building surviving, it relies totally on the firemen believing it was about to collapse. It relies totally on the entire planets media broadcasting it live and not one of the shouting “Hey did you hear all them explosive charges going off”

Wow, what a super duper plan, who on earth authorised it?
 
Hmmmmm interesting that.

Doesn't it ever worry you that you base your view of these events on personal incredulity?

Why do you think that a building which was in close proximity to a massive chaotic collapse of a huge tower, and is then witnessed to be on fire, could not have itself failed by any means other than CD?

What is the impetus for that belief?

Do you deny that WTC7 was completely unaffected by the collapse of the adjacent tower?

Do you deny that there was fire inside WTC7?

Do you deny that structural damage could have occured to WTC7?

If you don't deny these things, then why do you automatically assume that some other mechanism was required to bring WTC7 down?

If you accept that WTC7 was not in pristine condition, why can't you accept that the damage could have been much much worse than you imagine?

Oh give it up dave.

To listen to you a fart would have brought down WTC7.

Let's face it. You made up your friggin mind and you have no intention of listening to anything that contradicts your belief.

That's fine. I hope your right because if your wrong I expect you will make a fast exit from JREF because you don't strike me as man enough to face up to your own mistakes in judgement!

Arkan, where art thou?

Pardalis what there was, was a trolling for a known response.

You asked a question that you already knew the answer to but decided to play the agent provocateur.

You aren't on a mission of intelligent inquiry, you just want to provoke for the sheer joy of it.

Typical smug JREF response knowing the herd will leap in to join the monkey pile.

I see smoke and you blow smoke...9/11 has become your life..some day you'll have to redefine yourself because you can't cannabilize 9/11 forever.
