How were WTC core columns separated at the weld planes?

To Gravy,

There is a lot of material on my site and I don't want it to distract from the present topic.

For the purposes of the present conversation, let's just think of the last link as simply a collection of pictures which show core box column sections that are not amazingly straight and undamaged.

And lets verify together the following facts:

1) The large, large majority of core box column sections seen in the rubble are totally straight.

2) The large, large majority of core box column sections seen in the rubble have squared-off ends with clean breaks that are right along the original weld surfaces.


And then we can make a third photo album of all the core box column sections that are noticably bent along their lengths or show noticable damage near their ends.

It is a verifiable fact that the number of noticably bent or "buckled" core box columns are only a small fraction of the total.

Since this is possible to verify using the resources mentioned before, can we agree that the large, large majority of core box column sections as seen in the rubble are in a remarkably well-preserved condition, without bends or dents?

If we could just agree that this is in fact true, we will already have accomplished more than both NIST and Steven Jones have on this subject.



Why do ALL demolition experts reject the fantasist myth that explosives were used to bring down the Twin Towers? What errors does Brent Blanchard make in the Protec paper?
 
Major Tom:
I'm interested to know how you could discern this from the photos but the investigators on-site missed it. You do realize that there were investigators there looking and touching this steel? Were they all "in on it" or just woefully incompetent?
 
Max, why the focus on lasers? Wouldn't it be easier to have remote controlled fuses (i.e. electronic ignition) of some sort.

Possibly because Max realises that electronic ignition requires one of the two following things:
(a) Large quantities of wiring installed in the towers and leading from them to the control centre, wherever that is, which would involve many miles of wiring with consequent installation time requirements and a serious possibility of detection, or
(b) Large numbers of radio controlled detonators capable of withstanding the heat of the building fires in the vicinity of the aircraft impacts, the shock of the impacts and the shock waves from the fuel deflagrations immediately after the impacts, also capable of functioning correctly in an environment rich in stray radio signals from mobile phones and radios used by first responders.

Lasers are immune to either of these sets of drawbacks, and Max is hoping to spread uncertainty faster than the regulars here can research the alternative, and quite likely much greater, drawbacks from using sharks with lasers.

Max isn't going to be able to produce his Unicorn.

And he has no idea how many FLOORS of WTC-7 his laser installation would take! He's talking something literally as complex as the National Ignition Facility but installed covertly in a building still in daily use by its tenant.

You get the picture!

And worse the DT pellet the NIF is designed to hit is ALWAY IN THE SAME PLACE. Add to the hardware of NIF targeting hardware and computers for same. At minimum two dirigible perfectly clean 40th wave optical flats for each beam.

Max, you are a fool if you think this could be installed anywhere in Manhatten without BILLIONS being spent and THOUSANDS of people know.

Since you DO clearly think that...
:eek:

I don't know--I used to think Max was a complete know-nothing, a crackpot who invented a lot of silly nonsense out of whole cloth. But, I think you could slip this stuff in and out without being noticed.
 
As there was no residual trace of det-cord, blasting caps, nitrates, phosphates or any other foreign explosive or pyrotechnic chemicals, and since placing of such devices immediately below the points of impact immediately after impact was impossible due to the condition of the buildings, and since ingressing into said areas to plant such devices would be all but impossible and certainly fatal, I think the only logical analysis could be based on A

(Bolding and A,B letter designations mine)

Can you point to any chemical testing for said chemicals to prove there is no residual trace?

As far as Swing's response, I would have to say letter B is the appropriate answer.
 
Is the picture of the device shown above an arrangement of lasers specifically designed to catalyze a hydrogen fusion reaction? Why would you compare a machine designed to equal conditions within the sun with the type of laser arrangement and requirements that Mr. Photon envisions?

I don't believe that Mr. Photon requires conditions within our sun to be matched on 9-11-01.

In answer to DGM, as I mentioned before,

1) The large, large majority of core box column sections seen in the rubble are totally straight.

2) The large, large majority of core box column sections seen in the rubble have squared-off ends with clean breaks that are right along the original weld surfaces.


Anyone capable of carefully looking through photos and noting whether the 2 facts mentioned above are true is capable of either confirming or refuting what I say.

You can observe these features with your own eyes.

If the on-site investigators missed these noticable features, wouldn't you want to ask them how they could miss such obviously recurring patterns? Why ask me?

But there is no reason to "believe" them, or to "believe" me. You can either verify or disprove what I say with your own eyes simply utilizing the publicly available photos.
 
The white flashes along the NE edge of both towers are not compression artifacts.

MPEG compression artifacting also happens in areas where there is the most motion. The impact floors had the most motion with all the explosions and smoke. Not to mention the reflection of the person taking the video in the window he/she is shooting through.

What I'd like to see is if the flashes are there on the original video tape.


I agree there are many noticeable compression artifacts in the video.

I do not agree that the white flashes along the NE edges of both towers, at peak emotional moments, are compression artifacts.

Maybe I should have asked you how you were able the examine the breaks in detail. That's the important bit. But I suspect you already know that and prefer to not address that inconvenient point.

BTW I personally know some of these people that "missed" your obvious points.
 
Thermite-dusted shock-tube can actually be seen in videos, AND in NIST NCSTAR photos!

OK, then, show me a picture of one of the installed shock tubes. Just one.

This is like the Unicorn. We all know there is no Unicorn. To sway this knowledge, you would have to actually produce a Unicorn.

Well, Max. Produce the Unicorn.

After that you can produce your targeting system as you STILL couldn't hit a small target from 150 yards when both buildings are in constant motion on both the macro and the micro scale.



You know Ben, if you take this video, and use Virtualdub (excellent freeware) to either view the video frame-by-frame, OR, break the video into its image sequence, you can see for yourself - if you follow the thermite-dusted shock-tube flashes:
  • The actual shock-tube;
  • The shock-tube intersecting spandrel splices (as predicted);
  • The shock-tube intersecting column splice 2/3 up the window (as predicted);
  • Branching of more shock-tube from some splices (as predicted).

Obviously, this presumes you clearly understand the splice patterns.


Now this is the Max Wow part!

(Are you guys listening?)


You can actually locate shock-tube in the above video, and then find the same shock-tube in the NIST NCSTAR 1-5A/9/C photos.


Ben, please read that last sentence 1000 times.

max max max...

You just don't get it. Your fantasy can not possibly exist in a rel world condition. I know this is just a childlike plausibility contest for you. but

  1. you cannot reliably keep a fixed aim at a moving target as small as a pencil as the buildings sway in the wind.
  2. you cannot place "shock tubes" within the outer skin of the building without dismantling it from outside. which presents an access problem.
  3. you cannot place laser emitting devices in the surrounding buildings with sufficient power that would go unnoticed by the tenants.
  4. the flashes you see are paper or compression artifacts.
  5. you have no evidence beyond insane speculation and arguments from incredulity

I thought chill zero said we couldn't post humorous stuff in this thread any more.

Oh, wait, you're serious? Really? Oh, dear...
 
MAX-MIHOP, now on video!

Hysterical stuff. There are countless other videos capturing the same event, and not a single one shows the rather unsubtle flash frenzy you present as evidence.

To wit, take a gander at the last 20 or 30 secs. of this one. And there are plenty more like it.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OP6MlrfbCvQ

The flashes are clearly a video issue. The naked eye (in rational mode, of course) can see that straight away. Pointing to them as evidence is moronic, and smacks of desperation.

Do you have anything more reasonable to present in support of your fantasy, or is this as good as it gets?



How beautiful life is.


I suggest everyone read NIST NCSTAR 1-5A/9/C - twice, and then watch BillyRay's video 10 times.

NCSTAR 1-5A/9/C describes what your are looking at.

The report describes:
  • Heavy smoke releases
  • Smoke puffs
  • Pressure pulses
  • Metal fires
  • Metal flows
  • White glows
  • Flaring fires
  • Ejected debris

All these phenomena are right there in front of you in this video.


You are looking directly at the MAX-MIHOP collapse initiation mechanism unfolding.

Your "peak emotional moments" coincide when there is the most movement in the video.
Movement in the frames cause the most compression errors. The compression errors are most notable when there is a high contrast boundry.

Here is a decent site talking about video compression. Take note of aliasing, overload and the "Gibbs effect" in the "problem with digital video" section.

Max, why focus like a laser on lasers? That doesn't seem - you know - very bright.

Max, why the focus on lasers? Wouldn't it be easier to have remote controlled fuses (i.e. electronic ignition) of some sort.


Hi,

First, do you go by Greg or Gregory?

Also, I don't know if you noticed, by I added your excellent mechanism for how the columns were separated at the welds to the list.


Why focus on lasers?


I'm not beholden to them. (I'm not beholden to anything.)

But in my research I have been pondering the opposing spirals of controlled demolition and military deception (MILDEC).

A primary goal of MILDEC is to cloak the sponsor, at the expense of the operation. (This is a huge constraint that good old Maxwell C. has been smart enough to exploit...mercilessly.)

My line of thinking about the opposing spirals or processes predicts that the NIST narrative was pre-engineered - pre-scripted - with the demolition plan, exactly as any great painter would design positive and negative space simultaneously, for after all, what is 911 but painting portrait with noise?


The NIST Reports say, "NIST found no evidence of controlled-demolition due to explosives..."

MAX-MIHOP says the NIST Reports tell the truth, albeit the ambiguated truth.

If NIST says NO EXPLOSIVES, then there were no explosives.


So this is part of what leads me to look for non-explosive-based controlled-demolition tools and mechanisms.

Here is my list:
  • Improvised thermite (used to create phreato-thermatic explosions)
  • Planted thermite (used to heat-weaken steel splices and connections, and create the illusion of migrating fires)
  • Thermite-dusted shock-tube (used to link and ignite the planted thermite)
  • Lasers (used to ignite the thermite-dusted shock-tube)
(I actually think my list is very clever.)


The above thermite-based controlled-demolition toolkit worked like a charm, and - AND! - NIST is not lying!

NO EXPLOSIVES!


(Just lasers. Lots and lots of lasers.)


MAXER 5000C


P.S. I suspect MILDEC's game theory showed electronic ignition was too detectable or traceable.

Max there is no way in hell you can detect something as thin as a pencil in that heavily compressed video. The pixels are too big.

It seems more like a case of wishfull thinking/pareidolia on your part.
