.Further, the assertion about weight has not ever been reliably determined our sourced.
If the New York Daily News is not a reliable source, what kind of source would you accept?

Even without examination, your claim of refutation is false.

An assertion about the weight of steel does not refute what was seen to happen.
Further, the assertion about weight has not ever been reliably determined our sourced.
Your claim is not supported by any source; and, your claim is contradicted by FEMA. I refer here to FEMA WTC Report, Appendix D.
See: http://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/fema403_apd_x.pdf
There, it was acknowledged that the steel recovered was mixed, and was not, by any means, solid steel.
Indeed, as the complex had been annihilated, it stands to reason that any claim concerning "solid steel" is at variance with what was seen to have occurred.
In the first instance, the annihilation was almost instantaneous
In the second place, not much was left
and what was left was a tangled mess.
There was no such thing as solid steel that could be put on a scale.
There is also visual evidence of what the steel looked like when it was collected. It remained tangled, as shown in the referenced FEMA report, pg. 2:
![]()
That mess was almost certainly not accurately weighed.
Indeed, the same FEMA report linked above notes that the weight of the buildings' steel was only estimated BEFORE it was destroyed, let alone afterwards.
The steel pieces range in size from fasteners inches in length and weighing a couple of ounces to column pieces up to 36 feet long and weighing several tons.
Your claim is not only not supported, I have shown that it is contradicted by the actual evidence compiled by FEMA.
A name is just a name.
In this dialogue, I am the one who has posted both visual evidence
Cut the rhetorical crap.
I fear that your use of numbers as quoted above merely serves to obfuscate. Your numbers do not overcome the visual evidence of what happened to the WTC complex. It was dustified.
Baseless assertions are, after all, your stock in trade.I here assert that Dr. Wood's calculations stand as unrefuted.
Baseless assertions are, after all, your stock in trade.Dr Wood's DEW delusions were "governmentally published" because the government published all written comments, no matter how nutty.
Your put down is duly noted. But, you do not have any apparent standing to make any such claim and I here assert that you cannot and will not substantiate it. I here assert the above claim is blatantly false and improper.
That governmental web site contains the public record for the eight requests for correction that were received during FY2007. Only five of those requests for correction involve NIST's Final Report on the Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers.In looking over this thread and in wading through the omnipresent put down posts, it would appear that the proof put forward by Dr. Judy Wood confirming that directed energy weaponry (DEW) were a causal factor in the destruction of the World Trade Center complex (WTC) on 9/11/01 stands as the only comprehensively proven explanation of what took place that day that has been placed in the record of a competent governmental authority.
Dr. Wood's comprehensive proof of claim that DEW caused the destruction of the WTC complex on 9/11 was placed in the public, governmental record starting in March, 2007 and can be found at:
http://ocio.os.doc.gov/ITPolicyandPrograms/Information_Quality/PROD01_002619
Request for Correction from Dr. Judy Wood dated March 16, 2007
- Supplement #1 (March 29, 2007) to Request for Correction
- Supplement #2 (April 20, 2007) to Request for Correction
- Extension (June 29, 2007) of NIST review
- Response (July 27, 2007) to Dr. Judy Wood Request for Correction
- Appeal by Dr. Wood of NIST Initial Denial dated August 22, 2007
- NIST Extension to Wood Amendment to Appeal
- Amendment to Appeal dated August 23, 2007
- Response (Jan. 10, 2008) to Wood Amendment to Appeal
The foregoing is the only comprehensivley proven explanation of what destroyed the WTC complex that has ever been published in a public, governmental forum.
Catherine S Fletcher said:....In your letters you challenge the premises and the "probable collapse seuqence" proposed by NIST in NCSTAR 1 explaining the sequence of events leading up to the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers. As an alternative, you assert in your letters that "the evidence confirms that the World Trade Center towers were felled by use of Directed Energy Weaponry." In addition, you assert that Applied Research Associates (ARA), a NIST WTC Investigation contractor, had a conflict of interest...because ARA is a "significant manufacturer of directed energy weapons and/or components thereof." For the reasons presented below, NIST is denying your request for correction and does not plan to retract the NCSTAR 1 report as you have requested....
....Your request for correction further asserts that NIST's findings violate the Law of Conservation of Momentum and the Law of Conservation of Energy. NIST has examined the photographs you provided in conjunction with all the other evidence and has found that the evidence does not support a theory involving directed energy weapons. The NIST analysis satisfied both the momentum and energy conservation principles....
....You further claim that ARA is a significant manufacturer of directed energy weapons and/or components thereof. Since there is no factual evidence to support this claim, NIST has no basis for accepting your proposed corrections to NCSTAR 1.
In conclusion, NIST is denying your request....
Those quotations are from the government's responses to Dr Judy Wood at the governmental web page you've been citing. Far from endorsing Dr Wood's DEW delusions, the government has rejected those delusions.Richard F. Kayser said:....Your appeal reiterates the original claims of your RFC and supplements, adding additional images of the WTC disaster....
In preparing a response to your appeal, NIST staff who did not participate in the NIST World Trade Center Investigation and who did not participate in the preparation of the NIST response to your initial RFC reviewed your appeal and the history of your RFC.....
The conclusions of that review are as follows:
Based on the results of the review, I have determined that the NIST WTC Investigation as described in NCSTAR 1 and the supporting reports was thorough and based on all available evidence and that the original NIST response to your RFC was appropriate. Therefore, NCSTAR 1 will not be retracted or otherwise modified based on this appeal. Thank you for your comments and concern.
- ....In response to issues you raised concerning energy and momentum....I find that the NIST WTC Investigation need no correction on this issue.
- Regarding your assertion that ARA is a significant manufacturer of directed energy weapons and/or components thereof...I find that the NIST WTC Investigation reports need no correction on this issue.

Nope. The claim of dustification stands.
Fine with me. Go ahead and make your claim that OBL was not accused on live teevee on 9/11 before the annihilation had happened.
Enjoy
Cut the rhetoric and make a claim.
You are not the arbiter of the sufficiency of proof.
That is especially true in a context such as this one where the only other governmentally filed attempts to determine what happened on 9/11, namely, FEMA then NIST, are each woefully inadequate, wrong and, as to the NIST one, fraudulent.
Thus the Wood DEW explanation is basically the only validly performed, comprehensive determination of what destroyed the Twin Towers on 9/11.
In that context, standing alone, the claim of insufficiency is misplaced and misguided.
Look, there is real danger here. At the societal level, proof was never really required. American xenophobia was deliberately triggered even BEFORE the second pyrotechnical display occurred, let alone the DEW episode of annihilation.
Look at this:

As you can see, Osama bin Laden had been named EVEN BEFORE the South Tower got its explosions, as seen above.
The problem with poster resistance to the proof of DEW, demonstrated by Dr. Wood,
is that such resistance feeds into the PSYOP that was perpetrated;
and, if what I hear about MSM programming of late, the PSYOP is currently being reinforced with outlandish claims of 'terrorism' here, there and everywhere.
That is very dangerous as such claims are being used as a pretext for bombing the smithereens out of poor countries, yet again.
I've said many times, it is best to apply the rules of logic to one's own posting.
I post as best as I can and I assume you do the same.
If you think you've spotted a fallacy of some sort, then fine, name it. I often do the same thing, especially when it comes to the silly use of rhetoric by posters around here.
The FEMA report notes something similar as to the amount of debris recovered. However, that claim, in and of itself, does not address the visual evidence of dustification, as exemplified in that segment of Dr. Wood's website treatise with the subtitle "dustification".

While your post is not going to advance the discussion very much because it is, in the main, just another one that declares yourself right and me wrong, your post is, on the whole, more substantive than many recent ones. I will therefore let this reply constitute my reply to the last dozen or so posts that precede it coming from various posters.
I post in accordance with the principles of dialogue as best I can. What is posted stands or falls on its own merit. Generally, to be valid, all a post has to do is to properly make a claim or properly present a refutation of a claim.
It is utterly useless to make declarations about who is right and who is wrong. This is obvious. It is rare to the point of nonexistent in 9/11 discussions for persons making declarations about who is right to mean someone other than themselves and the same holds true for declarations about who is wrong; it is invariably the other person. Accordingly, such declarations are almost universally self-serving and therefore useless.
I do not make such declarations. I let claims and refutations stand or fall on their own merit, in accordance with principles of proper dialogue.
Wait. Dr. Wood's website is hugely comprehensive consisting not just in many multiples of pages, but also in multiple segments, sections and areas. There is no way on earth your quoted statement can be considered a proper expression of refutation. It is far too general, generic and overreaching to have any merit at all.
Once again, that is gross overstatement. There has not by any stretch of anyone imagination been anything close to any identification of even a few errors, let alone many. For the most part, even the attempts to latch onto at most between one and three errors was taken completely out of context and did not address the calculations made by Dr. Wood in the context of the claims she was making about the destruction of the WTC complex.
I here assert that Dr. Wood's calculations stand as unrefuted. And, that, in any event, there were claims of error associated with little more than a quibble here and there, far, far removed from any ability to claim, as you have "many errors."
Nope, your assertion of fallacy is untenable, unproven and unworkable. As usual in connection with fallacies, it is best to seek to post free of fallacy rather than try to use fallacies, a tool of logic, as a weapon against others.
Oh boy. I do wish you could have spared us that bit of equivocation, banter and hyperbole.
Your put down is duly noted. But, you do not have any apparent standing to make any such claim and I here assert that you cannot and will not substantiate it. I here assert the above claim is blatantly false and improper.
The government posted NIST NCSTAR 1, 10,000pgs of fraud and deception. Among the scientific community, only Dr. Wood posted up proof of what destroyed the WTC complex.
That statement is true. Your statement is not.
You are better off making sure your own posts are free from as many fallacies as possible. You have not done that.
Not contradictory, but it could be counter-intuitive. Here's how it is thought to work:
First of all "the government" is not a generic concept. As you know, the concept of the MIC has been introduced for discussion in another thread. We basically do not always know who or what is in charge of certain acts that may appear to be governmental.
In the SAIC, ARA thread, posters and lurkers are strongly urged to take President Eisenhower's MIC admonition seriously. We really do not know what is going on, by and large.
Now, applying this to your post, the fact is, you need to assume that Dr. Wood has a lot of support within the government, consisting in people who, privately, agree with her. In fact, proof of that very point has been posted in the SAIC, ARA thread.
See: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6250984&postcount=358
There you will see what can only be fairly described as a specific statement of support of Dr. Wood coming from the United States Military's AFRL/Directed Energy Directorate
So, Tsig, there is no contradiction at all.
You mean you didn't see the nuclear pulse-detonation launch?"I would like to know how in FSM's name did the whole planet miss this thing being launched? Does anyone think that this sort of thing is not monitored by the likes of China and Russia? It must be huge given the power requirements. That would mean a massive launch vehicle, which apparently no one spotted.
Jammy, have you considered bring cloaking devices into your life
Here's some help in what to look for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaking_device"
Don't you know the rule? If it supports the Jammy Dodger's delusions then it's a 'reliable source', if it doesn't support them then it isn't. Simple really..
If the New York Daily News is not a reliable source, what kind of source would you accept?

Baseless assertions are, after all, your stock in trade.
Your one correct assertion was that you yourself did not understand Dr Wood's calculations. Evidently you did not understand the many errors that Myriad, Oystein, and others have pointed out in those calculations either. You continue to make sweeping assertions about matters you have no hope of understanding.
Baseless assertions are, after all, your stock in trade.
Let's take a look at that government site you've been going on about since your very first post in this thread:
That governmental web site contains the public record for the eight requests for correction that were received during FY2007. Only five of those requests for correction involve NIST's Final Report on the Collapse of the World Trade Center Towers.
Although you have repeatedly emphasized the "governmental" provenance of that web site as part of your fallacious argument from false authority for Dr Judy Wood's DEW delusions, the following extracts from the government's responses reveal no governmental endorsement for Dr Wood's delusions. Indeed, the government categorically rejects Dr Wood's delusions:
Those quotations are from the government's responses to Dr Judy Wood at the governmental web page you've been citing. Far from endorsing Dr Wood's DEW delusions, the government has rejected those delusions.
What you should have been saying all along is that Dr Judy Wood is among the select few whose DEW delusions have been thoroughly rejected by an official government web site.
Did you seriously just say "without examination"?
Oh, man...
It does, if the assertion is fact (it is), and what was "seen to happen" was not, in fact, seen to happen (it wasn't), and the claim about what was seen to happen does not entail that it was impossible for said fact to be true.
In short, yes. It does.
Yes, it has. Unless you claim that the NIST report is a lie.
"Mixed" does not mean "not solid". That you are unable to distinguish between the two terms is not entirely surprising.
"Annihilated"? Destroyed, yes, but hardly reduced to its component molecules - which is what would be required for there to not be solid steel. Are you proposing that the WTC was vaporized?
Twelve point five seconds is "instantaneous" now? When did physics change so drastically?
One hundred and eighty-five thousand tons is "not much"?That is both quibble and rhetoric. I do not take kindly to rhetoric, as you may know by now.
"Tangled" does not mean "not solid".
More quibble. Sheesh
Seeing as you yourself refuted this later in your post, I will just sit back and grin. I'll let you know when we get to that bit.
Oh, no; are you a poster who gets a kick out of stupid 'gotcha games'? I hope not.
Yep, there it is. Looks solid to me. And weigh-able.
There is no evidence that weight was ever taken and there is no way of knowing how that mixed steel was assembled, from where, at what time, or even if it is solely limited to the WTC. That is yet another reminder of how the effort to do a proper forensic examination was completely debased by intentional obstruction of what should have been treated as a crime scene.
And you know this... how? Indeed, seeing as it is entirely possible to weigh things like this (ever heard of a "weigh station"?), and that we have a record of how much it weighed, it seems likely that it was.
That is a silly reply. You do not prove that weighing took place, you only engage in an attempt to use rhetoric in a way that leaves the issue vague, unsettled and unclaimed by you as a point you are trying to make.
Uh, no. The FEMA section you linked to actually says that the steel was weighed. Try reading what you link to.
No, I do not take it as being authoritative on that point. In the one section it refers to estimated weight. It does not prove that weighing took place and does not provide details of it, either.
Nothing in the FEMA report contradicts what I have said. In fact, it supports what I said in its entirety, and destroys what you said.
That is false.
And names can be entertaining.
I agree, names can be entertaining. Furthermore, levity, in connection with serious subjects, can be an aid to understanding.
Of what? Dustification? No, you haven't. Of the fact that the steel was not dustified? Yes, you have.
No. Dustification has been proven.
Thanks by the way.
I try to engage in substantive posting, confirming the accuracy of my claims with a posteriori proof.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
It means what I think it means and I use the word properly.
Um, yes, they do, because you have presented no visual evidence of dustification. You have presented photos of a debris cloud. That is not evidence of dustification.
It is unfortunate that you end with quibble.
You're saying that elements of the government are covering up the crime while other elements are attempting to uncover the crime.
The phrase "A house divided" comes to mind.
.TSR,
I have dealt with this before in other threads, notably the Dick Oliver threads and the ALL 43 threads. Newspaper articles are not ever considered reliable as evidence for either legal or valid historical documentation purposes. One has to go to the primary sources for purposes of establishing the truth of a factual assertion that might have been made in a newspaper.
Rather than go on and on about this, you can just google "newspaper articles as evidence" or some variation on that if you are interested.
In some thread or other, I have noted, for instance, that the oft repeated, and intrinsically stupid, claim that China bought scrap steel from the annihilated WTC complex derives from a Chinese student newspaper that may not even say that. Instead, the article actually deals with a purchase by a Chinese company of steel from India. The reference to WTC steel, even in that simple-minded source (when considered from the perspective of sourcing a claim like China bought remnant steel), was not even a clearly articulated claim.
.Rather, it is simply an element of the PSYOP, something designed to account for the clear absence of steel. Needless to say, the claim that the steel is in China serves to anchor the thought that the steel is gone.
Yes, the steel was gone. It was annihilated by DEW.
.Newspapers can be ok for sources for a variety of purposes, but not for purposes of establishing the truth of a factual claim. Newspapers are too unreliable for that.
So, like, what distignuishes this dust from that of any other collapse or demolition, other than the fact that there was such a massive load of dry wall (which would normally be removed prior to demolitions to reduce the dust created) contributing to the dust clouds?[qimg]http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af205/jfibonacci/dustified1.jpg?t=1286408083[/qimg]
