Witnesses Corroborating Rodriguez's Claims?

so by your line of thinking, every time we have a plane crash, or an arson, then another plane should be crashed, another building burned, in order to make sure the first ones occured as we suspect?

Modeling disasters in real world, with full or even partial models is just insane. It does not happen. When a fire occurs, and arson investigator assesses the scene, collects evidence, and reaches a conclusion.

When a plane crashes, investigators are on scene, they investigate, collect data, analyze, and reach conclusions.

NIST went beyond this and did perform some testing on building assemblies. They created gigantic and complex computer models. They performed numerous tests, and all of these things led them to their conclusions...

Once again, the idea of modeling the collapses in anything but a computer are absolutely ridiculous.

heres anotehr idea chillzero - after exploding the 28kg of jet fuel we could compare the seismic results with the seismic results we already have for the morning of september 11th. if 28kg produces a bigger spike then we could conclude that 28kg is too much.

if scientists can imagine ways to prove the big bang theory and the creation of our universe through observing predictions i am sure mankind could come up with someway to experiment and prove the fireball hypothesis.

what bugs me is the resistance to proving your own hypothesis!! you should be supporting ways to prove your hypothesis not claiming it cannot or should not be done. if a hypothesis is neither verifiable or falsifiable through observation you do know it is nolonger in the realm of science but of fairytales and ghost whisperers?

If an elevator shaft was airtight the elevator would not be able to move up and down

please rethink your posting

English is not your native language is it? I suggest you have someone with a little better comprehension of the language reread the posts your quoting. Your not understanding very well.

Just a little helpful advice.

My hypothesis? What exactly is my hypothesis? What assumptions are you making here?

Also, are you psychic, or do you just think that I am? Why make commetns such as:

besides why werent you objecting when a member of this forum says he was going to ring morelli (!!!) and ask him questions about that day?? you are obviously displaying double standards for the members in this forum.

and also:

how come grravy can say why dont you ring them up all the time and when i suggest that some witnesses can be used to analysis results of an experiment you all of a sudden jump down my throat assuming the moral high ground? you should think about that.
<snip>

as for the additional trauma - again where was your concern for the welfare of morelli when people in this forum - that you moderate - openly declared he was going to ring him up!!

1 - I didn't jump down anyone's throat. I suggested it might be inconsiderate to replay sounds of a traumatic event to the victims of that event, just to dismiss some mad theory that has no basis in reality.

2 - Have you reported any comments Gravy made that you feel should be addressed? Have you any evidence that I have acted - as a moderator - in an inconsistent manner? If you have, please start a thread in the Forum Management section to identify it.

3 - Where was my concern for the welfare of morelli? I ask again - do you think I'm psychic? I have no idea what you are talking about. Or perhaps you believe that you are psychic, to have such an insight into my thoughts and motives?

ideally yes, but in reality the sensationalist methods you describe above are not feasible. if it cannot be achieved through such sensationalist methods then some kind of experimentation can and should be devised. but not all arsons or plane crashes are nearly as controversial or mysterious as 911 and so do not merit the whole nine yards. because 911 was such a historical precedent i believe that every effort should be taken to test and prove the offical hypothesis.

Modeling disasters in real world, with full or even partial models is just insane. It does not happen. When a fire occurs, and arson investigator assesses the scene, collects evidence, and reaches a conclusion. When a plane crashes, investigators are on scene, they investigate, collect data, analyze, and reach conclusions

so modelling disasters with full or even partial models IS INSANE...that means the crowd at NIST and underwriters labratory are a bunch of nuts - can you imagine they even reconstructed scale models of a floor, its trusses with fireproofing etc and exposed them to a kerosene fire?? the outrage, these scientists experimenting with partial models trying to prove their hypothesis and understand the disaster of 911 should all be in staright-jackets!!

as you wisely point out while an investigator will "assess the scene, collect evidence and data, analyse it and reach a conclusion" it is the scientist who takes that conclusion or working hypothesis and proves it through experimentation.

NIST went beyond this and did perform some testing on building assemblies. They created gigantic and complex computer models. They performed numerous tests, and all of these things led them to their conclusions....

were those building assemblies full or EVEN PARTIAL MODELS?? congratualtions you just contradicted yourself.

look i have no problem with computer models but as i explained in a previous post the results will be influenced by the values we punch into the computer. consequently dr.greenings computer model will have an entirely different outcome to dr ross's computer model.

if you are so confident with computer models how would you feel if the scholars for 911 truth were responsible for it. this is exactly how i feel when government sponsored NIST are incharge of the computer modelling.

yes they perfomred numerous tests i welcome that but as you well know they did not test or prove progressive collapse. their investigation stopped at the point of initial collapse. so i want to see more tests to prove their own hypothesis of how progressive collapse was inevitable. if it is inevitable it should be reproducable and demonstratable through observation of something other than a computer model.

furthermore i have not heard of any experiments proving the fireball hypothesis. that jet fuel can travel down 90+floors and explode in the basement B2 -B3 level and do it again in the south tower despite the plane impacting lower and the jet fuel had subsequently a shorter distance to travel down and aerate.

it is not beyond the realms of possibility to construct just an identical elevator shaft to the height of the south tower below impact zone (50-60 floors high). and drop the jet fuel with an ignition intentionally placed at the b2-3 level. if the official hypothesis is true it will explode and deflagalate at least once in a 100 trials.

we can determine also through a simple experiment how the jet fuel can pass an elevator in an airtight shaft fairly easily. and given that fireballs were witnessed in b4 level below the freight elevator and 6 and 7. then we must conclude that jet fuel can pass the elevator - so lets find out how through experimentation.

the seismic recordings of exploding 28kg can be compared with the ones we already have. we can build an eight storey building with identical features as the twin towers - if you consider the amount of money spent of making a nuclear bomb or missile i feel that allocating the money from one weapon of mass destruction and redistributing it in pursuit of the truth behind 911 is well worth it. dont you?

Once again, the idea of modeling the collapses in anything but a computer are absolutely ridiculous

once again you are contradicting yourself my firend. if testing partial or full models is insane then NIST and underwriters are insane for doing precisely that. if it is ridiculous to model the collapse other than through computers then NIST are behaving ridiculous becuase that is precisely what they have been doing - in addition to - computer simulation.

it is important to note that computer modelling is not the only way to experiment or prove a theory...i am not even sure if it qualifies as an experiment because it does not occur and is not observed in the REAL world. scientists do not experiment on yeast cells, fruit flies and lab rats through computer modelling and simulations that would be absurd. bombs are tested by exploding them in the REAL world not through computer simulation.

again like chillzero we have another person with a cronic shortage of imagination. can you seriously not imagine a way as to prove, test, verify, or falsify your own hypothesis? if thats what your telling me then your belief that the offical hypothesis is true is within the realm of flying pigs and lepracons.

i agree and welcome that NIST and underwriters have many disparate tests upon the structural steel and fireproofing...i merely want to see more tests...i do not understand the resistence to more testing in this forum, the defeatist attitude that says it cannot be done, or if it can be done then it should not be done.

if you want to know the truth, if you want to prove your hypothesis then you should support experimentation to prove your hypothesis. if you do not beleive we can or should prove your hypothesis then how can you expect me or anyone esle to believe it is true? more to the point why do you beleive it is true if the scientfic method has not be applied to every aspect of the offical hypothesis, namely - the progressive collapse and the fireball theory etc
 
hey totovader,

the way i see it is this. over 20 or so witness testimony in the vasement reported hearing an explosion. elsewhere that day in the building numerous people reported explosions in the building aswell as fireballs.

so the question in relation to the basement testimony is were these explosions caused by explosives or a fireball. admitedly those who claim they were explosives have little evidence. we can point to structural damage and the testimony. unfortunately the vast majority steel samples that could of been tested (INDEPENDENTLY) were removed from the crime scene.

on the other hand there is an abundance of evidence supporting the fireball hypothesis. we have testimony, and the damage to the building is also explained by the fireballs.

but i beleive in the scientific method. that is observation, hypothesis, prediction and experiment. i beleive experiments should be carried out in order for the official hypothesis to prove itself. to date no experimnets past the collapse initiation have been carried out by NIST. no experiment has been carried out to demonstrate that 28kg of jet fuel will produce the result some in this forum have predicted it would do.

no experiment has been carried out on a steel frame building 8 stories high with the same design parameters of the basement. until such an experiment has been conducted i will not be convinced by any hypothesis unless it proves itself to be true.

now as expected even the suggestion that an experiment should be carried out in order to prove the official hypothesis has met resistance.
1) it cant be done: although i doubt it ever will be done, it is not by no means beyond the realm of possibility to build an 8 story structure with the same scale as the the north tower.
2) its too expensive: well the military spends millions on developing bombs then they test them to see if they works. moreover the amount of money spent by past governments investigating JFK or shuttle disasters dwarfs the money they invested when investigating 911. besides i am sure there are cheaper ways to conduct experiments.
3) it would be immoral: experimention of the the jet fuel hypothesis does not mean that the victims must necessarily be involved. it they did choose to participate in analysis of results then fine.
4) experiment using a computer simulation: i wouldnt object to a computer simulation in addition to real life experimnets. But the problem with computer simulations is that the values are programmed into the computer, for example imagine the differences in results if Ross’s calculations and not Greening’s were applied in a computer simulation of the progressive collapse.

Frankly you guys should be jumping at the chance at proving your hypothesis, you should be supporting all forms of experimentation. The fact that 6 years has past without some kind of experimnet to prove the official theory of the progressive collapse says a lot to me.

The problem i have with the fireball explanation concerning David’s testimony is how could the jet fuel get past the elevator? Mackey provides a good hypothesis. But i would like to see an elevator shaft being built 90+ floors high to the exact scale of the north tower with elevators etc. Then drop x amount of jet fuel and purposely have an ignition point at the b2 or b3 area and then simply watch to OBSERVE if the jet fuel will explode into a fireball before the falling elevator. If it does not work, then try it again. Only through proving a hypothesis through experimentation will i be convinced of the truth of the official hypothesis. This is a rational criteria to believe in something.

AMAZING job of dodging the question.
 
the wholesoul If an elevator shaft was airtight the elevator would not be able to move up and down, please rethink your posting

i was responding to i LASHL who suggested to ME that jet fuel cannot pass an elevator in an airtight shaft. mackey aslo suggested the same when he said in post #119 that "There is no requirement (for the jet fuel) to "get past the elevators."

so if your asking me to reconsider i have no problem. but if i reconsider then so shoudl lashl and mackey.

as for you point i say lets experiment - read my post #794 - its a simple experimnet that could be conducted to observe exaclty how the jet fuel passes, in what quantity it passes, and in what time it passes.

if you have any objections to this experiment as to why it not possible or should not be done please let me know.
 
AMAZING job of dodging the question.

glad you enjoyed toto i aim to please.

are you also saying that your hypothesis cannot or should not be proven??

hip hip for the scientific method eh??

if your question is was the explosion experineced by witnesses in the basment caused by exploives then my answer is it could have been.

next you are going to say well where is the evidence. i will say the testimony is evidence as for other forms of evidence i will post a reply to the reasons why it is in short supply.

now you answer my question: do you beleive that your hypothesis should be proven through experimentation? thats a yes or no.

Like I said- your red herring is noted.

If you're not going to answer the question, you're not going to help your case.

Can you explain why computer modeling of collapses or building structures is insufficient?

I want to see you try and claim that the entire science of structural engineering is invalid.

This should be good.
 
My hypothesis? What exactly is my hypothesis? What assumptions are you making here?

if you do not have a hypothesis pertaining to the events that occured in the wtc basement well whats the point in posting in this forum? I am assuming you do not agree with the hypothesis that the explosions in the basement were the result of explosives? If that is true then your hypothesis is (a) plane impact (debunked) or (b) fireball (unproven). If it is something else please outline what that is so we engage in a fruitful dialogue.

Also, are you psychic, or do you just think that I am?

Yes i am psychic, and i am sensing right now that this response irritates you.

I didn't jump down anyone's throat. I suggested it might be inconsiderate to replay sounds of a traumatic event to the victims of that event, just to dismiss some mad theory that has no basis in reality.

I know thats what you suggested my point was why didnt you make the same suggestion to others in this forum

You really give a damn, brasil, don't you? Your country's trying to kill you and you won't even make a phone call.

thewholesoul, why don't you contact Mr. Morelli to get a more detailed account? Will you? While you're at it, you can ask him if he thinks there were bombs placed in the basement that detonated before flight 11 hit.

If I undertake to call him and ask him about this to "save [you] the price of an international phone call", will you accept my report of the ensuing conversation as accurate?

Heh. (reffering to me) The "truth" isn't worth the price of an international phone call to you. Nice. :rolleyes:

My point was if you object to my proposal that we could replay sound recordings or present photos of the experiment to victims who consented to help in the analysis of results because it is inconsiderate and traumatic – where was your moral conscience when the above members proposed ringing up the victims and questioning them about that day.

This in my view was and is a double standard. Unless that is you disagree with the above members for the same reason you disagreed with my proposal. But because you never mentioned that reason to them – i have no idea if that is what you feel. And until you do respond to them and argue that ringing up the victims is inconsiderate and maybe traumatic then i am fully entitled to describe your behaviour as demonstarting a double standard.

“besides why werent you objecting when a member of this forum says he was going to ring morelli (!!!) and ask him questions about that day?? you are obviously displaying double standards for the members in this forum”


Have you reported any comments Gravy made that you feel should be addressed? Have you any evidence that I have acted - as a moderator - in an inconsistent manner? If you have, please start a thread in the Forum Management section to identify it.

I couldnt be bothered to tell you the truth. If i did report grravy for encouraging other people to ring victims i would then be a hipocrite because i propose that victims should be asked whether they wish to help analyse the results of an experimnet recreating that day. I try not to apply double standards.


Where was my concern for the welfare of morelli? I ask again - do you think I'm psychic? I have no idea what you are talking about. Or perhaps you believe that you are psychic, to have such an insight into my thoughts and motives?

Read the posts above calling for members of this forum to contact victims. I dont expect you to be psychic but i do expect that you read the postings in this forum that YOU moderate.
 
Don't single me out again, especially with such a ridiculous argument.

hey you should try my position i am the only one in here arguing against the official hypothesis. so syop whinning. (oh it sure feels good to use that phrase)

ok lets assume you have an imagination please devise one experiment that could verify or falsify the offical hypothesis.
 
Not quoting e TheSoleHole because there is too much ignorance to quote for one post

jeeze where do I begin. First off. Your air tight elevators

Where do the counterweights and cable loops go when an elevator rises? out the side of the building? Or alongside the elevator in the same shaft? Did you know that the weight of the cable alone if not compensated for in bypassed loop slings of counterweights that the elevator cab when rising toward the top would rocket out the top of the shaft from the weight of the cable slack if not compensated for?

secondly.. your "scale model" fallacy

Troofers fail to grasp the problem of scale. Lets dumb this down to child level physics, take the insect analogy. An ant if scaled up to human size would not be able to lift its limbs let alone five times its body weight.

The scaling problem of fire
Combustion in a small box does not behave in the same manner as combustion in a large room. This problem can be demonstrated as simply as lighting a match to a half O model train scale balsa wood house. compare the flame pattern and size to that of full scale house fires which I am certain everyone has witnessed.

I find it laughable when troofers claim the collapse violates physics when there they go building hardware cloth and construction paper models in attempts to demonstrate something they cannot understand. The only thing they demonstrate is that they know nothing of everyday common laymen level physics. There is a segment of the general population who simply cannot visualize things. In my field I bring blueprints to some people who cannot grasp or see elevations that are before them on paper. Its like if you showed them a photo of their uncle Ed and they didn't recognize him until he walked in the door.

you answer my question first. i am not playing your little game. if you think that computer simulation is sufficient for PROVING progressive collapse and the fireball in the basement hypothesis then YOU PRESENT YOUR CASE.

if you read my previous posts i have presented several reasons why i would be sceptical of a computer simulation. try addressing them first - are they invalid reasons - then explain why you think they are invalid.

i also stated that i would not object to simulations but i would like simulations in addition to real life experimnets on partal modelling. i ahve also presented some ideas for experiments regardingt the fireball hypothesis. read them and get back to me amigo.
 
Read the posts above calling for members of this forum to contact victims. I dont expect you to be psychic but i do expect that you read the postings in this forum that YOU moderate.

I don't have time to read each and every post in every thread. That's why we have the report function. As I said - take it to forum mgt if you have any evidence of double standards.

The world isn't as black and white as you seem to believe it to be, and I don't propose any hypothesis of my own. That's what I pointed out to you. You should stop making assumptions about what other people think, believe, read and do.

I would suggest you would be better placed to stop sidestepping totovader, and Slayhamlet, and give them decent responses to the posts they have taken time to put to you.
 
if you read my previous posts i have presented several reasons why i would be sceptical of a computer simulation.

Well the millions of truthers out there should all contribute $5 each to pay for a new investigation free of government interference. With all this money the truthers won't have to rely on computer simulations, they'll have enough money to buy a 757 and crash it into a large building they'll also buy.

I'm looking forward to it.
