Thought it could be interesting, the faculty of architectural engineering of my university caught fire this moring at 9:00 AM due to a electrical shorting. At 1:30 PM eyewitnesses (me included) heard an explosion that broke out several windows, then the fire department decided to pull back and let it burn controllably because they feared the structural integrity of the building was in danger. Around 4:30 PM a part of the 13 story steel framed building collapsed. There are still some fires going, so I'll keep you posted if anything happens.

Damn, missed a d in the TT :(. Btw, I just realized something: May 13, a 13 story building, explosions.... hmmm :D

And this helps arguments over 9/11 how?

Again, a building partially collapses. Big deal.
 
Well, a steel framed building partially collapsed due to fire alone. A lot of truthers claim that can't happen, this incident proves they're wrong. :)
 
i hope nobody got hurt.

en dan nog het Bouwkunde gebouw.

but i thaught initial collapse = global collapse.
 
Don't mind theauthor. He's lovely once you get to know him.

The reason this is significant is quite obvious. Explosion reported without bombs, followed by collapse of steel frame. It's a reactive game we play; if it annoys you that people post things like this, tell the truth movement to desist with their asinine claims that things like this are impossible.

You're so desperate to believe in the 9-11 conspiracy that you need to deny that the partial collapse of a steel framed structure (and attendant reported 'explosions') has any relevance. Why is that?

What is your motivation dismissing this thread?

All along 'truthers' have been assuring us that steel framed structures cannot collapse through fires and that the sounds of explosions must be bombs.

And every time another example of reality is shown to you, you franticly wave it away.

No the building did not (has not) suffered global collapse. Is that the sole difference which comforts you in your conspiracy fantasy? Buildings can now be accepted as being vulnerable to partial collapse during a fire, but so long as they don't fully collapse, then the 'truth' movement can sleep sound with their little fantasy intact? :cool:
 
but it shows that no Explosives (in case the was non) are needed for pulverizing Concrete
 
This is incredible.

It is amazing that people like theauthor would rather nitpick at inconsequential details than accept the obvious reality.

What's wrong with them? Do they WANT 9/11 to be an inside job? Does that thought actually make them HAPPY?

Yes, I think it does.

I suspect that many 'truthers' came to the 9-11 conspiracy theory because they wanted to believe that something other than what we were being told had happened. They then used their 'common sense' and 'gut feeling' and google and discovered the temperature of aviation fuel fires and the melting point of steel and decided that they'd cracked the case. Everything from then on fell into place for them.

It was very inconvenient that the one thing which separates this generation of 'truthers' from those in the past, the internet, though such a valuable tool for their amateur, misguided sleuthing, also produced forums such as this and people such as Mark Roberts who very annoyingly started to rain on their parade.

And every time a deeply held 'truther' belief is exposed as woo, they get petulant and defensive and refuse to listen and refuse to understand.

I think it's the willful lack of understanding which becomes most annoying.
