demolition charges and det cord wont survive a building fully involved in fire
Btw you think some damage to the exterior of the building from debris adds anything to your argument, prove it.
PROVE IT.
So we won't hear anything about Silverstein and "pull it" from you, yes?Do you honestly believe that anyone believes that the FDNY would be the ones to plant the demolitions?
What about the Con Ed substation papasmurf? You know all about it, don't you?Give me a break.
Does anyone want to point in the direction of the official theory that you have read.
The part that says " the collapse is highly improbable" is useless to me, sorry.
You show no signs of having done any preparation whatsoever. It is easy to find information. Go to the NIST site. Go to the Pop Mechanics volume for easy explanations. Use the search function on this site for prior discussions.

Firefighting Operations Suspended
All interior firefighting efforts were halted after almost 11 hours of uninterrupted fire in the building. Consultation with a structural engineer and structural damage observed by units operating in the building led to the belief that there was a possibility of a pancake structural collapse of the fire damaged floors. Bearing this risk in mind along with the loss of three personnel and the lack of progress against the fire despite having secured adequate water pressure and flow for interior fire streams, an order was given to evacuate the building at 0700 on February 24. At the time of the evacuation, the fire appeared to be under control on the 22nd though 24th floors. It continued to bum on floors 25 and 26 and was spreading upward. There was a heavy smoke condition throughout most of the upper floors. The evacuation was completed by 0730. After evacuating the building, portable master streams directed at the fire building from several exposures, including the Girard Building #l and One Centre Plaza, across the street to the west were the only firefighting efforts left in place.

Excerpt: Summary of World Trade Center Building 7 Emergency Response.
• The building had sustained damage from debris falling into the building, and they were not sure about the structural stability of the building.
• The building had large fires burning on at least six floors [fires were visible on at least 16 floors]. Any one of these six fires would have been considered a large incident during normal FDNY operations.
• There was no water immediately available for fighting the fires.
• They didn’t have equipment, hose, standpipe kits, tools, and enough handie talkies for conducting operations inside the building.
At approximately, 2:30 p.m., FDNY officers decided to completely abandon WTC 7, and the final order was given to evacuate the site around the building. The order terminated the ongoing rescue operations at WTC 6 and on the rubble pile of WTC 1. Firefighters and other emergency responders were withdrawn from the WTC 7 area, and the building continued to burn. At approximately 5:20 p.m., some three hours after WTC 7 was abandoned the building experienced a catastrophic failure and collapsed.

Wait a minute...
Let me get this straight...
You just tried to attack my qualifications personally on my engineering studies and my level of preparation... but... you just posted Popular mechanics as a source of information...
Okay, we're just going to pretend you didn't say that. I know you like your "easy explanations" so that you can get on with your life...
But that doesn't fly in the real world of science.
Hey, until one of these guys supports this nonsense Stevens is OK. Don't judge a school by it's most ignorant student.This is hopeless. He/ she won't even do any research or reading. Oh, Stevens Tech, how sad.
Quit trying to shift the focus to me, i came here to see what you know, which is turning out to be nothing.
Answer my questions. I told you my views on the matter, now attempt to address them.
Hey, until one of these guys supports this nonsense Stevens is OK. Don't judge a school by it's most ignorant student.
Still can't answer my questions? Anyone?
Please, at least ...try...
Pretty please?
Look kiddo, you said:Quit trying to shift the focus to me, i came here to see what you know, which is turning out to be nothing.
Well first off, i don't understand how even if one critical beam did fail somehow, which i believe it would have had to have failed over 3 consecutive floors or something, how that would even explain the collapse as it occurred. We are talking about a very fast and symmetrical collapse that would have required multiple simultaneous failures across the structure.

OK, OK. How did they do in football against Michigan this year?
Do you not think your own personal convictions are blinding you to the truth?
Do you not have your own lack of imagination?
I'm supposed to be able to "imagine" that fire magically caused that collapse, while its unimaginable that someone was able to bring it down with demolition charges?
papasmurf, are the entire faculty of the engineering department in your school too stupid to see that WTC 7 was a CD? Or are they in on it?Hey, until one of these guys supports this nonsense Stevens is OK. Don't judge a school by it's most ignorant student.
None of those guys supports the OMGINSIDEJOB!!!1!!!1 theory, do they papasmurf? Are they stupid, or in on it?
