collapse initiation

Collapses: Fire Alone? NIST-reports - decrypted version from which you can copy&paste can be found here: https://onedrive.live.com/?id=23638DA582FECBF6!106&cid=23638DA582FECBF6 (Thanks to MrKoenig from The911Forum.) The short story of the NIST's collapse initiation is that the fire-induced...

To help oz and Jango keep their discussion next door clean, I propose us bystanders comment mostly here. Thanks to oz for OPing this! http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=292837 :popcorn1 :popcorn2 :popcorn1:

I have performed a small series of experiments and interpreted them to lessen the likelihood that a collapse of the WTC North Tower, once underway,would inevitably progress, as handed down by Bazant et. al. and embraced in the 2005 NIST report. I challenge the physics and/or engineering...

Greetings Everyone I have proposed that incendiaries heat-weakened the towers to initiate collapse. Obviously, the majority JREF position is that I am not qualified. Realcddeal, a mechanical engineer, sees merit in MAX-MIHOP. He is deemed not qualified. This is merely hypothetical, but if...

* * * Frank Legge and Tony Szamboti have a relatively new paper in - your favorite - the Journal of 911 Studies: 911 and the Twin Towers: Sudden Collapse Initiation was Impossible This scratching post is for all you intellectual felines. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the paper?

* * * Greetings Everyone! The purpose of this thread is to explore the questions: Is it possible that the WTC collapse-initiation mechanisms are being cloaked by U.S. military-deception (MILDEC)? How would MILDEC be undertaken, and sustained over time? What does it take to see through...
