Building Demolition Vs. WTC Falling

This is what a real building demolition looks like.





Did you hear the repeated explosions?

Compare that to the World Trade Center falling.




No explosions, just the roar of the building falling.

And yet, the 911Truthers will believe that our government brought these towers down through a controlled demolition.

The 9/11Truthers believe exactly what they want to believe. Just like the jihadis who believe they will get 72 renewable virgins for the rest of eternity if they kill enough of the "right" people for their god.

By the way, has anyone else had trouble finding "Debunking 9/11 Myths" by the Popular Mechanics editors? With 9/11 conspiracy idiocy seeping insidiously into the mainstream you'd think there would be a few, er, "socially responsible" outlets who would make it a point to feature that book prominently.

Yeah, and I'll be waiting up for Santa Claus this Christmas Eve...

Revere Rides Again,
You point out an amazing fact. It's as if the large booksellers are complicit, along with the truthers, in attempting to create a mass hysteria.

The majority of these "truthers" originate from France. i.e. remember the Pentagon "it wasn't a plane" theory?

Wackjobs.

When I was over in Paris back in 2002, I bought a copy of Thierry Meissan's book, just to have as a sign of the times, a historical artifact.

I also remember seeing a book in the store called L'Juifs e l'Argent.

I didn't know what the word Argent meant, but later looked it up.

The Jews and Money.

Hmm. Just what you'd expect in a Paris book store, huh?

Whenever someone menions hat they feel 9/11 was a conspiracy, I ask them about the first attack on the WTC. It's kinda hard to blame Bush as he wasn't president then. And, hard to pin the blame on "de Jooos" because, unlike 9/11, the perpetrators of the first attack were caught and questionned thoroughly-- its obvious who they were and what their motivations were.

There are several really good links debunking 9/11 conspiracy theories at the end of this article (including a link to the Popular Mechanics article that should be working).

Ho, ho, ho....
it is not about WTC....it is about the other building...boys....building number 7...or 9...or .....it is based on fireworkers story. I do have a point to believe it...but....underground was the metro....the WTC structure was linked with the rest....so....I do trust what firemans saied.....but I also know what domino is. But also, some fireworkers told....boom, boom, boom....like a controled demolition,,,,

Chavez is an idiot.

Anonymous,

I can't understand what you mean? I'm guessing English is not your first language.

Are you trying to say WTC 7, or 9 came down because of controlled demolition?

And what do you mean by domino?

Pastorius said...

Demosthenes,
I'm with you. That's why I have never written about this until today.

Here's why I finally decided to post on this subject:

Are the people saying that 9/11 was an inside job the same people telling us that Iran isn’t a threat? I thought so.

Pastorius said...

Jason,

Good point. LOL!

What happened on 9/11 was no building-demolition? For pity's sake!

The Anti-Jihadist said...

Well, it was a building demolition, caused by structure failure induced by massive impacts of jet airliners and an inferno fed by thousands of gallons of jet fuel, office furniture and furnishings, desks, paper, and so on. The WTC was not designed to withstand this; its fire suppression systems and fire cladding for the structural steel were destroyed by the impacts. So its failure, post-impact, was inevitable.

Even so, the demolishing of the WTC was, for Al Qaeda, a lucky break. Even Osama admitted as much on video tape, when he said that he, as an engineer, never expected both towers to fail.

So yes, 9-11 was a conspiracy, but not one the conspiracy theorists have grown to love.

Pastorius said...

The architect of the WTC was interviewed shortly after 9/11 and he said he knew what was going to happen as soon as he saw the planes hit the towers.

The impact of the planes alone and the fires created by them was not enough to bring down the WTC buildings. Hundreds of steel buildings have burned as intense infernos for over twenty hours without any steel failure whatsoever. The fires in the WTC weren't even burning hot. By the time the towers collapsed you can see that the fire is suffocating because of plumes of black smoke. The falling of the towers was preceded by a series of massive explosions at strategic points all over the building. As the building falls you can see the explosions called "squibs" along the side of the building, caused by the detenation of thermite sulfur explosives, the only heat sources strong enough to melt steel and cause the implosion of the towers, in front of the wave of debris racing towards earth. Oh and by the way, it was a tomahawk missle that hit the pentagon that day.
