[truther] So you're claiming the building was full of aerosol cans?[/truther]

Computer monitors explode....probably nowhere to be found in 257 floors of office building though.
The strange things is, you debunkers assert that NIST's modelling did not have to fit because they were dealing with chaos so was hard to obtain an exact match and yet when truthers talk of symmetry of collapse you demand it be absolutely perfect. It wasn't and CD's never are, but global collapse did involve the bulk of the building structure falling straight down with its walls remaining close to vertical and floor and roof close to horizontal. Since NIST also uses margins of error in its findings, the word symmetrical is an acceptable term which can be applied to what happened during global collapse even though some slight distortion was observed.
Perhaps some truthers believe that the floors below were vaporised but I'm happy to accept that only a handful of critical columns and structural elements needed to be destroyed for the building to fail like a Verinage style collapse - just as you and NIST agree is possible.

It doesn't take a three-digit IQ to see that you haven't actually got an argument at all.
You mean support components failing due to heat and overloading does not equal "destroyed"?
Doesn't a "failed component" = "removed" in a structural sense?
Centre of the building or are you going to be another one of those people who seeks perfect symmetry of a falling building structure.
...
There's really no point arguing with that. My kids can see that the building falls straight down as a complete block. Even NIST says it happened. Why do you claim it to be different?

Um, maybe because the building didn't fall "straight down"???
So? how did you expect them to burn?![]()
I don't think there should have been a discernible fire in the debris.
Nothing that could have lasted more than a week. Fires that water couldn't put out? And don't talk about underground coal fires as a precedent.
Did you even read what Edx posted? You keep saying he heard explosions and Edx is saying that you have no proof they were caused by EXPLOSIVES. See all the bold/enlarged text.

Yep, there you go, it did fall straight down. Even NIST in NCSTAR 1A says it did...as one block.
Can I help you with anything else, or do you see the building moving sideways or toppling over?

Or that handheld videocams didn't have the necessary mic and/or capability. Nearly ten years of "debunking" has managed to avoid considering these possibilities.

I've replied to Edx on this point already or didn't you bother to read what I said?
There is no conclusive proof that explosives were used nor is there any to say they weren't. Just claiming that exploding sounds can mean any number of things adds nothing to this debate...
although if you debunkers are allowed to say that an explosive is not necessarily a sound due to explosives because there are other real life examples where this is so then I can say that the global collapse of WTC7 is not necessarily due to fire since the most common example of such collapses is with CDs.
You can't have it all ways so the argument is circular and worth nothing.

You may be aware of a process, whereby liquid water turns into a gas? It happens when it gets really hot.
The air was too hot - the water just evaporated before it got to the fire.
