Just listen to yourself! You want everyone to believe Senor Bushie, Karl “The Biggest Liar In The World” Rove, Dick “The Henchman” Cheney and Larry “Pull It” Silverstein when a ‘real’ WTC Investigation is made impossible by the destruction of evidence by these same inside-job bad guys!
1337 >> Please explain why he would mention "terrible loss of life" if he were talking about demolition. Please also explain away these problems with your theory:
1337 >> Problem #1, Larry Silverstein is not a demolition contractor, neither was the fire department chief, so why should we assume they’d be using slang demolition terms?
1337 >> Problem #2, Silverstein says "they made that decision to pull", for instance -- the Fire Department. If "pull" means "demolish", then he's saying the Fire Department may not have decided to bring the building down if they couldn't contain the fire, but because it was beyond them, they decided to blow it up. Does this make sense? Not in the slightest.
1337 >> Problem #3, Silverstein is suggesting that the decision to demolish the building was optional. It might not have happened. Does this fit with the idea of a convenient insurance scam? No, not at all.
1337 >> Problem #4, why would the Fire Department willingly agree to engage in a multi-million dollar insurance fraud?
1337 >> Problem #5, and since when do Fire Departments blow up buildings anyway?
1337 >> Problem #6, and if it's so obvious that WTC7 was demolished, then why are the insurance companies not suing Silverstein for fraud?
1337 >> Problem #7, and why would Silverstein admit this on television?
2) BIOWARFARE EXERCISE TRIPOD II: Alex Jones first reported on this back in May when Rudolph Giuliani let the details of it slip in his testimony to the 9/11 Commission. FEMA arrived in New York on September 10th to set up a command post located at Pier 29 under the auspices of a 'biowarfare exercise scheduled for September 12. This explains why Tom Kenney of FEMA's National Urban Search and Rescue Team, told Dan Rather of CBS News that FEMA had arrived in New York on the night of September 10th. This was originally dismissed as a slip of the tongue. Giuliani was to use this post as a command post on 9/11 after he evacuated WTC Building 7. As we reported back in January, Giuliani knew when to leave WTC 7 because he got advanced warning that the Trade Towers were about to collapse. "We were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse," Rudolph Giuliani told Peter Jennings of ABC News. How did Giuliani know the towers were about to collapse when no steel building in history had previously collapsed from fire damage?
... Show us how a few building fires can cause the ‘symmetrical’ collapse...
PAPD P.O. Edward McQuade said:Building #7 was still actively burning and at that time we were advised by a NYFD Chief that building #7 was burning out of control and imminent collapse was probable.
Firefighter Tiernach Cassidy said:Q: Why was building Seven on fire? Was that flaming debris from tower two, from tower two that fell onto that building and lit it on fire?
A: Correct. Because it really got going, that building Seven, saw it late in the day and like the first Seven floors were on fire. It looked like heavy fire on seven floors. It was fully engulfed, that whole building. There were pieces of tower two [sic: he probably means tower one] in building Seven and the corners of the building missing and whatnot. But just looking up at it from ground level however many stories -- it was 40 some odd -- you could see the flames going straight through from one side of the building to the other, that’s an entire block.
PAPD P.O. William Connors said:The time was approximately 11a.m. Both of the WTC towers were collapsed and the streets were covered with debris. Building #7 was still standing but burning. ...We spoke to with a FDNY Chief who has his men holed up in the US Post Office building. He informed us that the fires in building 7 were uncontrollable and that its collapse was imminent.
(Note: In retrospect, it's probable that the damage described was from the South tower (WTC 2), not the North one (WTC 1). Things were confused that day. I'll let others more familiar with WTC 7 correct this statement if I'm wrong.)FDNY Chief Frank Fellini said:The major concern at that time was number Seven, building number Seven, which had taken a big hit from the north tower. When it fell, it ripped steel out from between the third and sixth floors across the facade on Vesey Street. We were concerned that the fires on several floors and the missing steel would result in the building collapsing.
Deputy Chief Nick Visconti said:[Shortly after the tower collapses] I don’t know how long this was going on, but I remember standing there looking over at building 7 and realizing that a big chunk of the lower floors had been taken out on the Vesey Street side.
Capt. Chris Boyle said:So we go there and on the north and east side of 7 it didn’t look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good...
... Butch Brandeis came running up. He said forget it, nobody’s going into 7, there’s creaking, there are noises coming out of there, so we just stopped. And probably about 10 minutes after that, Visconti, he was on West Street, and I guess he had another report of further damage either in some basements and things like that, so Visconti said nobody goes into 7, so that was the final thing and that was abandoned.
Firehouse Magazine: When you looked at the south side, how close were you to the base of that side?
Boyle: I was standing right next to the building, probably right next to it.
Firehouse: When you had fire on the 20 floors, was it in one window or many?
There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered through there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably a third of it, right in the middle of it. And so after Visconti came down and said nobody goes in 7, we said all right, we’ll head back to the command post...
... cause the ‘symmetrical’ collapse of a steel-framed skyscraper within a very small amount of time...
You are saying that Controlled Demolition specialists need not waste months planning, wiring and setting off explosives, when all they really have to do is set a few building fires and run away.
I am afraid that MANY of you simply do not realize how ridiculous the Official Bushie Cover Story has been from the very beginning. The fact that you can buy that stupidity says more about the gullibility of the American Public than anything else . . .
Larry Silverstein was taking back and forth with the Controlled Demolition Supervisor from the Israeli Spy Ring...
... The Israeli Spy Ring CD specialist had been saying, “. . . when we Pull It . . .”
...Only if Silverstein is talking to the CD Supervisor making the final preparations to “Pull it.”...
DGM >> Terral: Why don't you start by explaining why the "truth" movement can't duplicate your "thermite" cut the way you said it was done but I can with my cutting torch?
Now, how do you want to evaluate his arguments in the light of all that's been presented above? Is his information truly reputable, given that he's distorted basic, acknowledged, verifiable facts? You decide.
Drudge >> Wow, didn't even take a 2nd sentence to figure out there's no reason to ever click on this thread again. Gotta be some kind of record. So... um... congrats?
Never be discouraged, Drudge, because none of these JRED ‘debunkers’ (heh) have any more of a “Building Fires Did It” Case than you. Congratulations to you all for confusing your Terral-bashing with actually making a case for anything. Your three-sentence reply has as much substance as anything from those on your side of this WTC-7 Controlled Demolition/Building Fire Debate. You all deserve a big round of applause (their hands never get tired – heh) for accomplishing absolutely nothing at all. :0)
Why do you show shaped charges and then talk about thermite? If you can't reproduce the cut with thermite it never happened.Hi DGM:
Termite applications are described here and here and here where linear shaped charges are demonstrated in videos. The question is about whether Controlled Demolition took down WTC-7 OR Building Fires!!! Are you BLIND? Look again at this picture where WTC-7 has collapsed upon itself ‘and’ we see SEVERED red-iron steel components scattered throughout the debris pile! You are saying that an iron worker climbed up 40 to 50 feet into the air to make a 45-degree angle cut (heh), when all of this debris is still littering the area. You are saying that these 90-degree “Column End” cuts were made by an iron worker (heh) BEFORE they could fall down ‘and’ all the other debris fall on top of them. :0) No sir. ALL of these red-iron cuts were made DURING the Controlled Demolition Process, as evidenced by the fact that all these steel columns are positioned randomly throughout the debris pile itself. Building fires DO NOT ‘sever’ 2800-degree steel members at 90-degrees or 45-degrees or any degree. :0)
I do not want to know IF you can reproduce these cuts with your cutting torch, but IF you can reproduce this debris pile AND the severed red-iron components using building fires! Can you? No. End of story . . .

Terral
WildCat >> Are you ever going to expain what the hell a "thermite shaped charge" is?
Of course, there is a straightforward way to achieve 1000°C temperatures (and well above) in the presence of sulfur, and that is to use thermate (or a similar variation of thermite). Thermate is a high-level thermite analog containing sulfur developed by the military (see link). Thermate combines aluminum/iron oxide (thermite) with barium nitrate (29%) and sulfur (typically 2% although more sulfur could be added). The thermate reaction proceeds rapidly and is much faster than thermite in degrading steel leading to structural failure. Thus, both the unusually high temperatures and the extraordinary observation of steel-sulfidation (Barnett, 2001) can be accounted for -- if the use of thermate is allowed in the discussion. Note that other oxidizers (like KMnO4) and metals (like titanium and silicon) are commonly used in thermite analogs.
Finally, sulfidation was observed in structural steel samples found from both WTC7 and one of the WTC Towers, as reported in Appendix C in the FEMA report. It is quite possible that more than one type of cutter-charge was involved on 9/11, e.g., HMX, RDX and thermate in some combination. While gypsum in the buildings is a source of sulfur, it is highly unlikely that this sulfur could find its way into the structural steel in such a way as to form a eutectic. The evidence for the use of some variant of thermite such as sulfur-containing thermate in the destruction of the WTC Towers and building 7 is sufficiently compelling to warrant serious investigation.
Thermite is a incendiary not an explosive. Look it up in something other than a woo site if you dare.Hi WildCat:
Shaped charges are explained here where you can see that any of 1000 different explosive types can be utilized. Thermate as an ‘explosive’ is described by Dr. Steven Jones here.
Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Completely Collapse?
I understand perfectly that Thermate is NOT a typically used compound in cutter charges or even explosives for use in Controlled Demolition. The reason is that the basic ingredients of Thermate are NOT traceable back to the original manufacturers, which is the reason the inside-job bad guys prepared their own private stash of Thermate for use in these WTC Controlled Demolitions in the first place. These thermite-based shaped charges need not EXPLODE at all, but they are simply high-temperature ‘cutter charges’ designed to ‘cut through structural steel’ columns and beams like a hot knife through butter.
Where did all the sulfur-rich molten iron pools originate, according to your “Building Fires Did It” explanation? :0) Look at the Molten Iron Pool evidence in this video again.
GL,
Terral
None of the demolition workers in the picture above climbed up any ladder forty or fifty feet in the air to make that 45-degree angel cut,
You are saying that an iron worker climbed up 40 to 50 feet into the air to make a 45-degree angle cut
X >> I realized something today, as I sat bored between classes. Terral has claimed, in this very thread:
1) Steel cannot be weakened or melted by heat untill the whole entire piece of steel has been heated, because the heat transfers instantaneously to all pats of the steel.
2) The steel beams were cut by thermite charges.
The two points listed above are mutually contradictory.
X >> If, as Terral claims, the steel of the building could not be weakened by fire because of the instananeousness of the heat distribution, then how would the heat of a thermite charge be able to cut the beam, unless you had enough thermite to heat the entire building? I'm sure somebody would have noticed that much thermite being placed.
X >> Honestly, I'm a bit dissapointed in myself that I didn't cotton on to this earlier. I should have caught it. I mean, I'm studying engineering and all. I am shamed.
X >> Oh, and Terral: Are you going to respond to my point, or, like all other non-compliant evidence you're faced with, will you ignore it?

BYU Physics Prof Finds Thermate in WTC Physical Samples, Building Collapses an Inside Job
Author: Jacob Hamblin
Based on chemical analysis of WTC structural steel residue, a Brigham Young University physics professor has identified the material as Thermate. Thermate is the controlled demolition explosive thermite plus sulfur. Sulfur causes the thermite to burn hotter, cutting steel quickly and leaving trails of yellow colored residue.
This is a joke right. Where did you address my simple statement? Thermite/ thermite is an incendiary. Show me the references by demolition companies that say they use it in controlled demolition. They don't and never have (probably never will do to the unpredictable nature of the reaction).Hi DGM:
This is the kind of two-sentence drivel that leads MANY astray and right into the jaws of Loyal Bushie LIES.
Jack Hamblin Portland Independent Media Center Article
Jack Hamblin’s article shows the same “Confused Fireman” Picture from Christopher Bollyn’s paper that you have already seen described on this thread. Thermite is only the base compound used to begin the Sulfur-enriching Thermate-building process where a long line of incendiary/explosive charges are designed, built and placed part of a predetermined plan. The biggest culprit in identifying the CD signatures is NOT all of the sulfur-rich molten metal pools. The biggest finger pointing to a definite WTC Controlled Demolition is the ‘symmetrical collapse’ itself, when the blueprints show extra steel supports in many WTC locations. That means someone with CD skills was required to set charges with the ‘right amount’ of incendiary/explosive components to allow a very much unsymmetrical skyscraper to fall down symmetrically. That is just one reason why the Architects and Engineers at AE911Truth.org are calling for a new investigation.

Secondly, ‘building fires’ have insufficient energy to weaken or melt WTC-7 structural red-iron columns.
