WTC Building 7 was NOT hit by an airplane. It was a 47 story steel framed
building. The Official NIST report states it came down from fire:

Here's a video clip of WTC 7 collapsing from CBS NEWS:

Did fire really bring down that building? It collapsed at near free fall
speed into its own footprint.
The lease holder of WTC 7, Larry Silverstein, said on a PBS documentary
that they "pulled" the building. The documentary is titled "America

"Based on the incident's magnitude alone, a full-throttle, fully
resourced, forensic investigation is imperative"
"The federal government must scrap the current setup and commission a
fully resourced blue ribbon panel to conduct a clean and thorough
investigation of the fire and collapse, leaving no stones unturned."

You gotta admit something's fishy with the government's story:
don't forget...
Only the Twin Towers were hit by airplanes.
WTC Building 7 was NOT hit by an airplane.
WTC 7 was a 47 story steel framed building.
The Official NIST report states it came down from fire:

chickenwing, can you explain *why* WTC 7 collapsed? If the government's
version is true, then WTC 7 collapsed from fire. But is that rational?

ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER STEPHEN GREGORY
"I saw a flash flash flash and then it looked like the building came down.
Q. Was that on the lower level of the building or up where the fire was?
A. No, the lower level of the building. You know like when they demolish a
building, how when they blow up a building, when it falls down? That's what
I thought I saw."
CAPTAIN KARIN DESHORE
"Somewhere around the middle of the world trade center, there was this
orange and red flash coming out. Initially it was just one flash. Then this
flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building
had started to explode. The popping sound, and with each popping sound it
was initially an orange and then a red flash came out of the building and
then it would just go all around the building on both sides as far as I
could see."
DEPUTY COMMISSIONER THOMAS FlTZPATRlCK
"My initial reaction was that this was exactly the way it looks when they
show you those implosions on TV."

--------------------------------------------------------
I've come to the conclusion that those responding in this newsgroup are not
engineers, let alone structural engineers. I base this conclusion on the
following three facts:
1. Not one of you people have claimed to be one
2. You people resort to childish insults and name calling
3. You don't know how to look at evidence rationaly
Based on those three facts, "you people" are obviously nothing more than
engineering dropout losers who didn't have the rational, logical and
scientific minds to comprehend their studies. You spend much of your time
hanging out in these newsgroups pretending to know something, when fact is
you don't know shit. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between
your ass and a whole in the ground.
Now that I've gotten rid of those imbeciles...
There's not one structural engineer on the planet who would openly admit
that the Twin Towers and WTC7 were professionaly demolished. This is easily
understandable, since it's widely known that two state senators who opposed
the Patriot Act got nice envelopes tainted with anthrax. Therefore,
engineers have a right to fear for their lives and their families lives.
But the truth is coming out slowly. Perhaps if a few structural engineering
friends around the country took Prof Steven Jones side, then enough people
would know and they need not fear violent retribution from the government.
We all remember, a few days after 9/11, "explosives expert" Dr Van Romero
said he could tell just from the videotapes that the buildings were
professionally demolished. He recanted not long after that, obviously from
government pressure. He was then rewarded with a number of promotions.
Also, his refusal to discuss *why* he recanted is another telltale sign.

http://infohost.nmt.edu/mainpage/news/2002/11jan05.html
http://www.yic.gov/paceea/adcom/bios.html
Unfortunately, there are those out there who would say "Romero recanted, so
he obviosuly doesn't believe the buildings were demolished". Anyone coming
up with that kook conclusion is not only brainwashed but also a total idiot
being taken for a silly fool by those capable of rational thinking.
Fortunately, these newsgroups are not limited to those fools. I know
there's plenty of real engineers out there who have the brains (and the
guts) to speak up.
So let's get a movin' and make 2006 the year of Truth!

"In writing this paper, I call for a serious investigation of the
hypothesis that WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by
damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned explosives."
Professor Jones convinced SIXTY PROFESSORS that a new, full, INDEPENDENT
investigation should be performed.
The SIXTY PROFESSORS' specialties include Physics, Mechanical Engineering,
Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, Geology, and
Mathematics.
WTC 7, a 47 story steel framed building, was NOT hit by an airplane,
but collapsed on 9/11/01 at approximately 5:20 PM ET.
The collapse was near symetrical, near free-fall speed, into it's own

I recently read Prof. Jones paper and was amazed. He makes a lot of sense.
As soon as the subject is looked at carefully it seems that controlled
demolition is the only possible explanation for the 3 buildings fall.
Besides the evidence of the steel that is covered in the Dr. Jones paper,
there's the issue of the concrete.
Q. During the WTC cleanup, they shipped all the structural steel overseas
for recycling. What did They do with all the concrete?
A. Nothing, there basically wasn't any. 400,000 cubic yards of concrete in
each tower had been turned to dust and pebbles.
http://911research.wtc7.net/cache/wtc/analysis/collapses/wasteage_cleanup.htm
From Waste Age Magazine:
Most of the concrete from the WTC site was pulverized into dust in the
Sept. 11 attacks. But huge amounts of structural steel remained scattered in
tangled heaps, says Allen Morse, USACE chief debris expert and FEMA
technical advisor.
http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/collapses/concrete.html#ref1
Considering the amount of concrete in a single floor (~1 acre x 4") and the
chemical bond energy to be overcome in order to reduce it to a fine powder,
it appears that a very large energy input would be needed. The only source
for this, excluding for now external inputs or explosives, is the
gravitational potential energy of the building. Any extraction of this
energy for the disaggregation of the concrete would decrease the amount
available for conversion to kinetic energy, slowing the speed of the falls.
Yet we know that the buildings actually fell in about 9 seconds, only
slightly less than an unimpeded free-fall from the same height. This means
that very little of the gravitational energy can have gone toward
pulverizing the concrete.
Even beyond the question of the energy needed, what possible mechanism
exists for pulverizing these vast sheets of concrete? Remember that dust
begins to appear in quantity in the very earliest stages of the collapses,
when nothing is moving fast relative to anything else in the structure. How
then is reinforced concrete turned into dust and ejected laterally from the
building at high speed?
Most people seem to be amazingly resistant to looking at the evidence of
explosives at the WTC. Very few people want to hear about it.

Reinforced concrete? Where? I doubt you have ever been near a
construction site, All it takes is dropping a 4x8 sheet of plywood on the
floor to see how much dust can be kicked up at high speed.

Because reasonable people know there is no evidence of explosives.

Yup, I was right......you didn't study history.

I'm not so sure that Dr. Jones can be so easily dismissed. I'm not
saying that I think it's all true, but there are some interesting
questions raised.
Just because people don't buy the "official" story, it doesn't make them
kooks. The whole world seems to buy into the "consensus" that
anthropogenic global warming is happening, yet the real evidence doesn't
support it. But those who are pointing out that the evidence doesn't
support the consensus are labeled as industry hacks, kooks, right-wing
wacko's, etc.
Mob mentality is difficult to fight...
Again...it's not that I'm supporting all of Dr. Jones' arguments, I'm
just pointing out that there may be something to what he is saying. The
consensus is not always right.

Like a good magician, he weaves facts and illusions, truths, half truths
and myths, to give the apppearance of reality, along with some good old
fashion smoke and mirrors.
For kicks, here is one part of his arguement
" Prof. Thomas Eager explained in 2001 that the WTC fires would NOT melt
steel:
"The fire is the most misunderstood part of the WTC collapse. Even today,
the media report (and many scientists believe) that the steel melted. It is
argued that the jet fuel burns very hot, especially with so much fuel
present. This is not true.... The temperature of the fire at the WTC was
not unusual, and it was most definitely not capable of melting steel. "
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smoke and mirrors #1
The structural steel would not have to melt, just lose part of its strength
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In combustion science, there are three basic types of flames, namely, a jet
burner, a pre-mixed flame, and a diffuse flame.... In a diffuse flame, the
fuel and the oxidant are not mixed before ignition, but flow together in an
uncontrolled manner and combust when the fuel/oxidant ratios reach values
within the flammable range. A fireplace is a diffuse flame burning in air,
as was the WTC fire. Diffuse flames generate the lowest heat intensities of
the three flame types... The maximum flame temperature increase for burning
hydrocarbons (jet fuel) in air is, thus, about 1000 °C -- hardly sufficient
to melt steel at 1500 °C.
But it is very difficult to reach [even] this maximum temperature with a
diffuse flame. There is nothing to ensure that the fuel and air in a
diffuse flame are mixed in the best ratio... This is why the temperatures
in a residential fire are usually in the 500 °C to 650 °C range [Cote,
1992]. It is known that the WTC fire was a fuel-rich, diffuse flame as
evidenced by the copious black smoke.... It is known that structural steel
begins to soften around 425 °C and loses about half of its strength at 650
°C [Cote, 1992].

This is why steel is stress relieved in this temperature range. But even a
50% loss of strength is still insufficient, by itself, to explain the WTC
collapse... The WTC, on this low-wind day, was likely not stressed more than
a third of the design allowable... Even with its strength halved, the steel
could still support two to three times the stresses imposed by a 650 °C
fire." (Eager and Musso, 2001; emphasis added.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another half truth Alert.
The loss of strength is only one part of the equation. The structural
damage is the other. While a loss of 50% strength alone should not have
caused failure, the structural damage and resulting superimposed loads on
adjacent structural along with the reduced strength easily would have
surpassed the failure point

That's the one part that makes it tough to swallow...there are too many
people involved in the "controlled demolition" aspects of the story for
some of them not to come forward, or to be offed under suspicious
circumstances. Now, if some of Ossma's buddies got in there and did
their thing... (which begs the question, if they could pull it off once,
why not repeatedly?)
But, like the global warming people...there's sometimes a kernel of
truth in their arguments...some basis in fact. That's all I'm saying
with regard to some of Dr. Jones' points.
And that is what I was talking about WRT the half truths.........like his
claim of fire temp for residential at 500
yet temps can reach 1200 in a flash over..........The global warming people
are the same way....unfortunately, there is no video simialr to the planes
flying into the WTC to refute the GW crowd.

Then you're the kook, kook. The Bush version has no proof to back it up.
Anyone who believes that proofless version is a wacko conspiracy theorist
kook. And that includes you and all your kooky friends. Got that, kooky?
Besides, with that brainwashed, closeminded, predetermined attitute of
yours you obviously don't care what happens in reality. Hope your happy
in your fantasy land with all the other kooks
No, but pirate might be involved...

HERE'S THE TRUTH NUMBNUTZ
you want us to believe you so that you may
further believe it yourself
you are insecure with your believe
NEEEEXT!!!
Levon, you are a brainwashed kook! You stupid people believing an absurd
government version that has no proof, and turn a blind eye and empty head
towards cold hard facts. No wonder the country's going down hill! Take
your head out of your silly ass and look at the evidence. Stop running
away from the evidence like a little crying baby. Sooner or later, you,
and the rest of the brainwashed ignoramuses around here, will see
reality. Until then, I reserve the right to call you, and the other
ignorant ignoramuses, brainwashed kooks!

I'm interested in whether you have any info on whether Dr. Jones' seminar
will be videorecorded. I think it should be. In spite of all the WTC
documentaries that have been produced, I haven't seen a single one that
presents a well reasoned case for doubting the official account of 911 and
the WTC. You have to read to get the picture (so to speak).
I can imagine that some attendees might not want to be videorecorded (just
proves how low civil liberties in this country have sunk). The fact of the
matter, though, is that inevitably an event of this kind who will
photographed and recorded anyway.

I posted the message below. ("Kramer" was used to thwarf plonkers.) I
have no direct affiliation with the lecture. Although I do sincerely hope
it will be videotaped.

People have made threats, committed fraud, and not gotten booted by their
ISPs.
I realized that when I reported the guy. If enough people report him
his ISP will do something about it. It's all about numbers.

There's a guy hanging around UseNet for a few years that's been the basis of
dozens and possibly hundreds of complaints to SBC Corp. and he's still out
there.
