Another WTC 7 Conspiracy Theory

[jaydeehess]

It is just possible that if one sealed off one floor and sucked the air out then blew the supports out that the air pressure above the building would cause the a collapse faster than free fall. It would be no different than strapping a small rocket on the top portion.

BUT

You can only do this once and the effect would be very small though I don't have the calcs. Think of it this way, you blow out a lower floor creating a higher pressure above that level than on that level and the building starts to collapse at that level faster than free fall , then you blow another floor creating a vacumm on that floor but now the air pressure is equally higher below that floor as it is above that floor and the lower portion is not attached to the ground anymore since you blew a lower floor already. The vacumm will pull UP on the lower portion with as much extra force as it pulls down on the upper section creating NO NET difference in the momentum of the building than if you did not have the second detonation, the upper section may be a little faster but the lower section is now falling a little slower.

BUT

There is another problem. 'Implosions' occur when an explosive goes off and has such a fast pressure wave so as to move the air out of that volume. As the pressure dissapates the air then rushes back into that volume. NOTE that the air is pushed outward first. If such a device went off near a stand of trees you would see the tres first bend away from the site of detonation then whip back the other way air rushes back. In a building then such a detonation would first lift the upper floors before sucking them down.

In a CD the explosive are very small; they use gravity to do the work of dmolition. This is why 9/11 looks like CD; gravity did it on 9/11 and gravity does CD.

CTer have not studied CD to know gravity is used and only a few pounds of explosive are used at each key point. The fire would of cooked off any explosives in the building at the impact zones. Or in WTC7 the fires would have rendered all the explosive useless exploding hours before the collapse. Sorry CTers, they failed to concider the 20,000 gallons of fuel stored in WTC7. That is why the smoke was like 20,000 gallons of fuel burning all day.

How many times will CTer fail to study a subject.

There is no coincidence. The entire American air defense system operated on 9/11/01 exactly the way it was designed to. It protected the US from enemy aircraft and missiles launched from outside the United States. It kept all Russian bombers grounded. It kept all Chinese nukes in their silos. It kept every North Korean warship well away from the coast of the US and all of its terratories. Oh, and it also kept safe dozens and dozens of our allies, many of whom haven't bothered to even have an air defense system for the last several decades.

What people forget (and what really annoys me) is that the conventional wisdom on September 10, 2001 was that the events of September 11, 2001 were impossible. Our air defenses didn't fail anymore than our immigration policies failed, or cooperation between the FBI and the CIA failed, or the system by which intelligence makes its way to the President failed, or communications between police and firefighters in New York City failed.

We got tagged. Deal with it.

This post deserves repeating. So, I repeated it.
