While we're nit pickng, there's an edit right before the collapse starts. For another, this camera is many blocks from the site.
1) How many blocks? What would be the expected attenuation of sound from that distance? (feel free to reference known CD's if you wish)
2) Since the microphones pick up any sound without prejudice, how is it that they uniformly pick up ambient sounds, yet no explosions? No truther has been able to answer that question without resorting to absurd handwaving.
Question for C7.
You made the claim that 'white smoke' is from therm*te.
Are you going to stand by that claim? If so, you need to state clearly that white smoke is ALWAYS, without exception, an indication of therm*te.
Otherwise you are forced to back down and admit that the smoke may have had a different source.
If you fail to answer this question, it indicts you as someone who will not even stand by their own statements. That diminishes your value to zero. What's it gonna be?
The beloved Dr. Greening wrote, in his paper investigating sources of sulfur 'In order to estimate the total amount of sulfur that could have been released by firing thermate charges placed at pre-selected locations in the WTC we need to know how much thermate was used on 9-11. If we
assume that a single thermate cutter charge consists of about 20 kg of reagents and 100 charges were needed per building, we conclude that a total of 2000 kg of thermate was used to demolish each WTC
building. This implies that the production of SO2 from thermate was no more than about 40 kg per building.'

Is Greening correct? If not why?
If not, what else is he incorrect about? He doesn't see the sulfur in gypsum being the only source, but maybe he's wrong about that too.
What if all of you are wrong and there was no thermate or thermite? What does that do to your conspiracy theories? Anything?
Do you even care whether you're right or wrong? (personally I see no evidence that you do care)
My quick analysis of 9/11 Truth: As time goes on, the inherent contradictions in truther theories reduce adherents into increased cognitive dissonance, whereby they simply cannot let go of a single theory for fear that the whole thing will collapse (it will).
They therefore attempt to juggle
ALL the ideas as
ACTUAL, not merely theoretical thought experiments. This reduces the movement to increasing absurdity and irrelevance.
C7's repetition of Gage's 6.5 second talking point is a good illustration of this mental paralysis: if they admit that the actual collapse began sometime before the E PH collapsed from the roof into the building, then they admit the collapse was far more complex than they are allowing.
They won't do that, as their reputations hinge on this 6.5 s fiction.
Same with microphones and the complete absence of demolition explosions at the time of collapse. Truthers such as C7 cannot accept that the lack of evidence means that
there were no demolition explosions, even if that's the truth. So they are forced to various desperate and absurd arguments as to how the sounds 'magically' were not recorded.
Again, this reduces their positions to no more than a pseudo-scientific, anti-intellectual farce.
C7, MM, Gage, Fetzer, Harrit, Jones and the rest are a JOKE. Nothing more. Intellectual frauds, IMO.
