Witnesses Corroborating Rodriguez's Claims?

It is "psycho" and "uptight" because I've seen no evidence that we're conducting this thread as a formal debate.

That's non-sequitur.

Are there a different set of rules applied by Totovader to my posts than everyone else's?

Ad hominem.

I have to stick to rigid form and he and everyone else doesn't, all the while not addressing a single one of my arguments?

The only thing everyone has done is address your arguments. I just reposted a rebuttal to one of your ridiculous claims that you have ignored for 2 pages.

It doesn't help me to be accused of making an "appeal to pity" in my last sentence when the first three paragraphs were about something that was on-topic. I also didn't tell anyone to do what you're saying. I believe you're guilty of a "fallacy of accident" in this case.

Your belief would be wrong.

If you do not wish to have your fallacies addressed, then do not make them. It's pretty simple. If you can't make an argument without it being chock-full of fallacious arguments, then it's time to sit down and think about your position.
 
I believe that brasil is using the classic appeal to pity argument in order to avoid the debate itself- all the while pretending to be fighting for it.

I highly suggest that brasil cease these appeals and instead address the rebuttals that are waiting for him if he really wishes to maintain the appearance of being interested in the issues.
 
It is not circular reasoning because it is not circular reasoning!! I did not say the sequence of events is relevant because it is relevant, i said the sequence of events is relevant becauase it is needed in order to establish whether or not the plane hitting the building and the elevator falling, things that actually happened, are compatible with what actually happened to morellini. Please if you are going to use philophical arguments make sure they are applicable before applying them.
What you exhibit is called inconsistent reasoning. First you argued that the first event morellini experienced was the plane hitting the building, then you argued that it was the elevator falling, and now your latest side-show is that the sequence of events is irrelevant in order to establish what actually happened.
Yes the plane hitting and elevator falling actually happened but the events morellini described also happened. The problem is that the plane hitting the building and the elevator falling DO NOT EXPLAIN what morellini experienced that morning in the world trade centre building. And if you think it does then explain what happened to morellini and PRESENT your explanation – something YOU continually avoid doing.
Now one issue you claim i am avoiding is that in either sequence there is no bomb. In other words neither of the events experienced by morellini could have been a bomb. But once we eliminate explosives as a “possibility” then what remains?
Before i eliminate the imapct of a plane and the falling elevator as possible explanations to morellini’s experience i will present my interpretation of morellini’s account.
1: he experienced two distinct events
2: the first event occured when he was walking by main freight car
3: the first event caused him to fall to ground
4: he described the first event as “impact of the explosion” and “whatever it was”
4: out of uncertainity he assumed that whatever it was was something very heavy and big that fell over in the loading dock
5: the first event caused the floor to move
6: when he gets back up off the floor (duration of time unknown) he then hears what he assumes to be the freight car falling
7: when he was running towards the bathrooms he heard the second event
8: he describes the second event as a “big impact”
9: the second event caused the ceiling tiles and light fixtures to fall
So we know that the plane impact and the falling elevator actually happened but the question is do these events explain what actually happened to morellini assuming of course his tesimony is true? Now if anyone has a problem with 1-9 please provide reasons why you feel it is inaccurate within the context the testimony of morellini.
Now the first event experienced by morellini could not have been the freight elevator in my opinion because morellini was walking beside it, because he thought the first impact was in the loading dock and not the elevator shaft, because he thought the second big impact was the freight elevator. So if it wasnt the freight elevator what caused morellini’s first event....
{The first event experienced by Morellini was the plane impact}
The reasons why i find this explanation impossible are as follows
(a) he could not have heard the plane from b4.
If people a lot closer to the impact did not hear the plane then obviously morellini did not hear the impact. This line of argumnet is backed up by gravy #144 and there is a chapter in his paper about covering this issue. So if you wish to object to this argumnet take it up with gravy.
(b) a plane impact on 90 floor would not cause him to fall over
it seems rather difficult to beleive that a plane impacting 90+ floors above would cause him to fall over especially when people nearer to the impact did not fall from the impact.
(c) a plane impact on 90 floor would not cause the floor to move in b4
again if the floor in b4 moved one would expect some of the floors closer to the impact moving to the same if not greater extent. This is an empirical issue that could be resolved through the testimony of people closer to the impact
(d) a plane impact could not have caused something to move in the loading dock
morellini specifically mentions “impact” something falling over in the loading dock. I find it hard to beleive that the impact of the plane would sound like something falling over in the loading dock
(e) felipe david testimony supports the claim that something happened in in the floors above morelli.
Felipe david was standing infront of the freight elevator. Before the freight elevator fell he claims “The building started shaking after I heard the explosion below, dust was flying everywhere and all of a sudden it got real hot...” see william rodriguez: escape artist – eye witness accounts from inside the towers. So David’s testimony combined with morellini’s suggests that something happened in the basement before the freight elevator fell. What was that something if it was not the result of a plane impact and the freight elevator falling?
If anyone has a problem with (a) – (e) please provide your reasons.
Any other explanation for the first event experienced by morellini would be appreciated. And i am still awaiting a response in relation to felipe David’s testimony. The question: how could David have heard an explosion below him before he got burned?
 
this is the last time i will respond to you my friend.

- there is no evidence of explosives because if there were explosives the hard evidence exploded.
- The NIST made a conscience decision not to test for explosive residue at the WTC complex. This would have proven one way or another whether an explosive device was used in the sub levels of the North Tower, however, no test by any Federal Agency was conducted
- The historical record of terrorism against America is another valid reason to explore the ED hypothesis. I'm sure you are all aware of the 1993 WTC attack using a truck bomb in the subbasement at the WTC. If terrorists could use this tactic of placing an explosive device in their target once, isn’t it reasonable to suggest they might try that tactic again, especially when combined with the use of planes? The reasonable person would think so .
- The FBI's original working hypothesis was a car or trucked packed full of explosives and detonated under the towers at the same time as the impact. I find that yet another reason to test for explosive residues, especially in the basement. You can view the USA Today news report about the FBI's theory: google "do the orders still stand: the case for explosives at the world trade centre"
- testimony is a form of evidence and many people reported hearing explosions. if you agree that testimony is a form of evidence - circumstantial evidence - then your assertion that i have zero facts or evidence supporting the case for explosives in the basement makes no sense what so ever. let me repeat that - it you agree that testimony is a form of evidence your assertion that there is no evidence supporting the hypothesis that explosives were used makes no sense what so ever BECAUSE many people that were in the building claim to have heard explosives.

have a nive day beachnut.
You have no sources and have said little to support the conclusions of 9/11 truth. Why are you so fact less? You have not evidence of explosives because they were not used on 9/11.

Your FBI stuff, was a lie from a bad journalist. Sorry, you have no facts.

You're willing to assert that Gravy or LashL (who would be a woman of her word, I guess) would be telling the truth- but you're implying that Morelli may not be telling the truth, even though his account is published?

That doesn't really make any sense- and it sort of violates the first rule of being a conspiracist. We're shills, remember?

what are talking about i never implied that morellini's not telling the truth.
 
Since you appear to have abandoned this "event in the loading dock" claim- are we to assume you no longer believe that it is true?

If you admit that Morelli was not describing an event in the loading dock- how does that impact your claim?

stawman: i never abandoned "the event in the loading dock", nice shadow boxing however
 
It is not circular reasoning because it is not circular reasoning!! I did not say the sequence of events is relevant because it is relevant, i said the sequence of events is relevant becauase it is needed in order to establish whether or not the plane hitting the building and the elevator falling, things that actually happened, are compatible with what actually happened to morellini.

No, it is not. We do not need Morelli's testimony to draw such a conclusion.

Please if you are going to use philophical arguments make sure they are applicable before applying them.

I'm not sure what you think a "philophical" argument is- but that made no sense at all.

What you exhibit is called inconsistent reasoning. First you argued that the first event morellini experienced was the plane hitting the building, then you argued that it was the elevator falling, and now your latest side-show is that the sequence of events is irrelevant in order to establish what actually happened.

And what you're doing is called dodging the point. I have been trying to get you to explain why you think the sequence of events is relevant to the claim that bombs were in the basement. You have not been able to do this.

Yes the plane hitting and elevator falling actually happened but the events morellini described also happened.

Let's be clear, here: just because Morelli described them does not mean they actually happened. I'm not saying they didn't- it's just that you're trying to claim they are in contradiction without admitting that Morelli could be wrong. You can't have it both ways.

The problem is that the plane hitting the building and the elevator falling DO NOT EXPLAIN what morellini experienced that morning in the world trade centre building. And if you think it does then explain what happened to morellini and PRESENT your explanation – something YOU continually avoid doing.

I am not avoiding it in the least- I am just not going to allow you to inject a red herring without first answering my question. To the point- however- I've already answered the question and provided an explanation. You seem to have ignored it.

Now one issue you claim i am avoiding is that in either sequence there is no bomb. In other words neither of the events experienced by morellini could have been a bomb. But once we eliminate explosives as a “possibility” then what remains?

Well... there were these planes...

Before i eliminate the imapct of a plane and the falling elevator as possible explanations to morellini’s experience i will present my interpretation of morellini’s account.
1: he experienced two distinct events
2: the first event occured when he was walking by main freight car
3: the first event caused him to fall to ground
4: he described the first event as “impact of the explosion” and “whatever it was”

No, he said or whatever it was- indicating that he was in a position where he could not have known at the time that it was a plane or the result of the plane making impact and causing some kind of secondary effect (um, like an elevator crashing down).

4: out of uncertainity he assumed that whatever it was was something very heavy and big that fell over in the loading dock

It's very important that you remember what you have admitted here in your 4 clone.

5: the first event caused the floor to move
6: when he gets back up off the floor (duration of time unknown) he then hears what he assumes to be the freight car falling
7: when he was running towards the bathrooms he heard the second event
8: he describes the second event as a “big impact”
9: the second event caused the ceiling tiles and light fixtures to fall

You're wrong, here- the 2nd event and the elevators falling are one in the same.

So we know that the plane impact and the falling elevator actually happened but the question is do these events explain what actually happened to morellini assuming of course his tesimony is true? Now if anyone has a problem with 1-9 please provide reasons why you feel it is inaccurate within the context the testimony of morellini.

You're asking whether what Morelli is explaining is what Morelli is explaining?

Now the first event experienced by morellini could not have been the freight elevator in my opinion because morellini was walking beside it, because he thought the first impact was in the loading dock and not the elevator shaft, because he thought the second big impact was the freight elevator. So if it wasnt the freight elevator what caused morellini’s first event....
{The first event experienced by Morellini was the plane impact}
The reasons why i find this explanation impossible are as follows
(a) he could not have heard the plane from b4.

Strawman- he's not describing just hearing a plane impact, he's describing feeling it.

If people a lot closer to the impact did not hear the plane then obviously morellini did not hear the impact. This line of argumnet is backed up by gravy #144 and there is a chapter in his paper about covering this issue. So if you wish to object to this argumnet take it up with gravy.

I wish to object to your interpretation of it. Being able to "hear" (or rather, feel) the impact is not necessarily due to proximity, but rather to what structure you're next to or what section you may be in.

(b) a plane impact on 90 floor would not cause him to fall over
it seems rather difficult to beleive that a plane impacting 90+ floors above would cause him to fall over especially when people nearer to the impact did not fall from the impact.

Argument from personal incredulity. Who do you think was "nearer" to the impact that did not fall over that should have fallen over?

(c) a plane impact on 90 floor would not cause the floor to move in b4
again if the floor in b4 moved one would expect some of the floors closer to the impact moving to the same if not greater extent. This is an empirical issue that could be resolved through the testimony of people closer to the impact

Same fallacy as the "hearing" argument. The effects of the impact are not necessarily because of what level you're on- but how the building is reacting to the impact. I cannot give you specifics, because it's not my field- but I do not find your objection to carry any weight.

(d) a plane impact could not have caused something to move in the loading dock
morellini specifically mentions “impact” something falling over in the loading dock. I find it hard to beleive that the impact of the plane would sound like something falling over in the loading dock

See, now you're changing the story. Morelli did not describe an event in the loading dock- you admitted this in your 4 clone.

(e) felipe david testimony supports the claim that something happened in in the floors above morelli.

Something did- a plane hit the building.

Felipe david was standing infront of the freight elevator. Before the freight elevator fell he claims “The building started shaking after I heard the explosion below, dust was flying everywhere and all of a sudden it got real hot...” see william rodriguez: escape artist – eye witness accounts from inside the towers. So David’s testimony combined with morellini’s suggests that something happened in the basement before the freight elevator fell. What was that something if it was not the result of a plane impact and the freight elevator falling?

As I've already explained to you- the vibrations of the floor (since that's where their feet are) would feel like it's something below. However, David and Morelli both do not believe this was explosives.

If anyone has a problem with (a) – (e) please provide your reasons.
Any other explanation for the first event experienced by morellini would be appreciated. And i am still awaiting a response in relation to felipe David’s testimony. The question: how could David have heard an explosion below him before he got burned?

I already explained this to you.

Logical fallacies don't only apply to formal debates.

No. Again, have you read the membership agreement? There is a difference between the way Totovader has responded to you and the way you have responded to him and others. He has consistently attacked your arguments only, even if he has done so in a brusque manner.

brasil said:

Pointing out logical fallacies in your arguments is addressing your arguments. If you think the logical fallacies don't apply to certain of your arguments, explain why they don't.

brasil said:

Why does it matter what your first three paragraphs were if he was only pointing out an appeal to pity in the last sentence?

brasil said:
I also didn't tell anyone to do what you're saying. I believe you're guilty of a "fallacy of accident" in this case.

Tell me, what else could you possibly have meant when you typed "G. F. Y.", then? By invoking the fallacy of accident I assume you are implying that that is not what you meant by typing those three letters. I'm sorry, but I find that very hard to believe.
 
*(The word "residents" chosen carefully, since someone thought it was "bright" to accuse me of ignoring all of the foreigners who died in the attacks. If you're working in this country, you're a "resident" or you're illegal.)

Wrong. My Canadian brother was in the WTC the week prior. He is neither a resident nor was he there illegally. People from other places have been known to visit NYC. It's called being a consultant.
 
hey gravy,

i was expecting a response by now, however let me reiterate

Presumably Felipe David was burnt from the descending fireball but what puzzles me is how he heard the explosion below BEFORE he got burnt? For this reason his description of explosions in the basement levels are entirely in-consistent with the jet fuel traveling down the elevator shaft. Because if indeed the explosion was caused by the jet fuel then he would have been burned before he heard the explosion since he was standing right beside the elevator.

so any chance of an explantion from somebody as to what cause the explosion that he heard below him?

That depends- are you going to continue to ignore the explanation I've given?
 
Sure, 3 flights per day. But how many can you coordinate such that five are leaving at the same approximate time? If they were not coordinated, the chances of the later ones accomplishing their mission would be expected to drop dramatically.

If I were planning the operation I would also consider passenger loads. With a limited number of hijackers, crowd control has to be an issue, witness Flt 93, and the fewer potential disruptors for my comrades to have to control, the better.

Just a thought.

Wow. I missed that spectacularly ignorant statement. What do you think visas are for, brasil?
 
I don't know if I'll ever be able to fathom why the conspiracists don't believe these victims.

no i do believe them i alsp believe felipe david when he said that he heard an explosion before he got burned. whats your stand on his testimony amigo?

by the way this is just a comment. in your paper there appears to be no testimony from people who were on the b3 floor wjen "things started happening". i just found this curious.
 
thewholesoul, you seem to be under the impression that fireballs traveled down the elevator shafts from the impact zones. None of us make that claim, nor does NIST or anyone else I've seen besides truthers. Fuel poured down the shafts. It could have ignited and deflagrated at any point: as clearly it did at various levels. If David is describing the same explosion as Rodriguez is, then it likely was below him. And remember, the 50 elevator came to a halt below the B1 level.

Is this clear?
