Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:45 pm Post subject: WTC Collapse Video Analysis Highlights Implosions |
|
|
Make of this what you will.
A new video analysis of the collapse of the World Trade Center's south tower provides unmistakable evidence of implosions that trace a diagonal path across the building and appear well below the collapse point. The video clip will be familiar to regular readers, it's apparently filmed by a firefighter and shows the collapse of the south tower viewed face on from the side on which Flight 175 struck the building. The cameraman films half of the collapse of the building but turns to run as the debris begins to rain down.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX9gdRST6zM
Only when slowed to a quarter speed can the full importance of the clip be appreciated. The footage clearly shows a diagonal pattern of implosions where the central columns were severed easily before the collapse point reaches them. The pattern of "squibs" that crisscross the tower are even more apparent when a color filter is added to the footage.In another excellent recently compiled video analysis clip, the same footage along with a selection of others is also featured.
http://www.webfives.com/itemviewer.aspx?nid=d181a98b-e2fc-44af-8da5-3a4b0d0810cd&so=1
Conservative estimates put the collapse of the south tower at around 14 seconds, a rate of collapse that almost rivals freefall speed. Simple physics dictates that for a building to fall at near freefall speed, the resistance of the building below needs to be removed before the collapse point reaches it.
This could only have been achieved by means up explosives or incendiary devices, evidence of which is clearly noticeable in almost every WTC collapse video. |

Two small puffs, which could have just as easily (and more likely) come from air being pushed out. What a joke.
I note how the video by the way clearly debunks the "free-fall" theory - you can clearly see parts of debris that did fall at free-fall hitting the ground well before the building was anywhere near down.
Interestingly, I commented on the video to this effect - and my comments seem to have "dissapeared". Hmmm. Conspiracy, anyone?  |

When the President and Vice President go to a commission and refuse to take a oath, which really in effect is to dodge telling the truth, the people have every right to disregard the official story.
When the most powerful military in the world allows the number ONE suspect to escape, not once, twice, but three times from right under their noses, almost with prior approval, it’s clear, we have been told a crock of doo doo.
When the key funder of the 911 attacks is traced and his handler identified, but not pursued, who incidentally was in the US having breakfast with officials on the morning of 911, is then allowed to leave the Country unhindered, the people have every right to demand a fresh independent enquiry. The 911 commission announced the money trail is of little importance.
When the majority of the twin tower buildings crumble to dust, including steel beams and office furniture, but leave paper untouched, it is clear something very unconventional happened that day.
When we are told the fires were so hot they weakened steel beams, yet people are seen standing in the gap left by the planes. It is pretty obvious; the fires could not have been that hot! Black smoke suggests a fire on the wane, not a raging inferno.
When hundreds of eyewitness statements taken in the hours and days after 911 are not allowed to be taken into consideration, it’s plain to see, there’s a huge cover up going on.
Many of the eyewitnesses recall sounds of multiple explosions going off in the buildings and one key witness, who still works for the authorities, explains seeing dead bodies in the lobby of WTC7 before any towers had fallen.
When people dare not speak up for fear of losing contracts or their jobs, you just know, there’s a reason behind it. When a highly decorated army officer speaks up and finds his clearance to view classified files is revoked, his health benefits and army pension revoked, it obvious to all but the deluded there are people doing their utmost to silence people. The officer in question, got off lightly, another whistle blower was poisoned for disclosing, hijackers were known and identified a year before the event, were living in accommodation paid for by the secret services and using documentation provided by said agencies, it’s blatantly obvious, the lines between the good and bad guys is all but a blur.
I could go on as there are more than 200 pieces of highly circumspect points raised that have yet to be answered.
Don’t worry English, we believe Bush and the big television networks in the US. Shame though, that even the majority of the propaganda bombarded citizens of the US say things do not stack up. |

It's also a shame that the so called "movement of truth" covers itself with so many "questionable" points, almost as bad as you are suggesting the government is.
Why would the Government want to allow it's opposition (all groups, policial and personal) a chance to attack them?
We could go on and on about the holes in the Governments story, just like we could about the holes in the various conspiracies.
You are amased that people still believe the "Official" version of events?
I am fascinated to see that others assume the most extreem opposite version of events too. |

No version is hole proof....there are always questions. But, I dont think thats any reason to be complacent and merely accept the so called "official" line. Surely there is value in reading, observing, learning and opening your mind to possibilities. You may not agree because you see holes in the argument...but why accept, therefore, to sit in cosy old complacent-ville because of that? Keep eating them blue pills Ploppy- I hear ignorance is bliss. hehe  |

I eat no blue pills, minx!
I am pointing out that many of the conspiracy theories have more holes in them than the offical version, yet I am somehow supposed to be an idiot when I point this out?
It seems to me that a large part of the conspiracy theory is based on the thoughts that if the government said it, it must be wrong. |

ok Ploppy. can I offer you some baked apples?
I dont think that people who see things from a different perspective than the official line do so because they immediately suspect the government to be lying. Personally speaking I do not automatically accept in totallity every alternative theory that is presented....however I think its well worth while reading, listening and thinking beyond the scope of what is generally perceived as truth.
I didnt think you were an idiot by pointing out holes in the alternative theories...I actually didnt call you an idiot. I merely suggested being complacent is being ignorant to possibilities.
Please accept my delicious baked apples as a peace offering.  |

Hehe!
Sorry to be so bitey!
What I am trying to say is this:

Now this statement appears to be pretty cut and dried. But when you look into it further you will see that it is far from it.
This is an example of what I am talking about. If this was on a Pro-Government site, it would be ridiculed, torn to bits and used as "proof" that the Pro-theory is wrong. Yet here, it is allowed to pass as acceptable.
To me, a good argument would admit the "grey" areas. A better post would have said something like ...
"the fact that the weakening of the steel beams is considered critical to the collapse theory is not so open and shut - there are examples of pictures showing people in areas supposedly of high-fire, and suggestions that the smoke signature indicates a lower temperature than previously suggested. Of course, there are counter arguments and pictures for this, but it does make the weakening of the steel more of a questionable issue".
This makes it clear to the casual reader that the issue is in dispute - the initial post implies that it is clear-cut - far from the case.
And this is what I take issue with.  |

Im not sure if I agree with the example. I think what hmmm said is quite well considered and based on factual evidence- and even then, he did use to the word "suggest". Having said this, I dont really see why you wont open your mind to possibilities because you take exception to the way those alternative ideas are worded on here. |

Because they are not "facts".
*sigh*
If you look into it, there are discussions about smoke "colouring" about on the net, along with many pictures clearly showing heat, and impressive fires. The "infamous" woman by the window picture is hardly "proof" that there was no fire sufficient in the building. |

thats not the only evidence presented. And they are not facts in your mind because you dont wish to accept the possibilities that there is an alternative story to the official one.

I will accept a story that is backed by some better proof, frankly.
I'm not sure here who is taking the blue pills - you can keep your "it's a non-government theory, so it must be true" approach, if you like.
Before we know it, it'll be back to Prole, and his "there is no spoon (or planes)" theory.

Accorinding to whom, you? All this information you provide is just personal opinion, that's lacking in any real background knowledge of the event. You claim that, all the posts people make are just dreamt up conspiracy theories, but provide nothing but your won insistance to you being right...It's quite boring actually.
For fire to have weakened the steel in the short time frame available, do you think this women would have been able to stand anywhere within that vacinity?

I dont.
But why automatically accept the "it must be a conspiracy" one either?
The comment on molten steel I am about to reply to is a perfect example - there is an alternative theory, but that is ruled invalid, because it doesnt fit the Pro-conspiracy story? |

We have discussed this one before.
Steel, steam, and Hydrogen.
Self fueling reaction given enough heat, water (for the steam) and some insulation (say like a giant pile of debris).
Been here before, we have. And, there is no clear answer either way. So why assume it is the conspiracy way?
Your alternative theory is? |

you dont? so sorry ploppy I must have totally misread your previous posts. I thought you accepted the official line. So what exactly do you think? I understand that you want to counter argue the alternative theories, but please, can you be clear and tell me what you think the real story is then?? |

My own personal opinion?
I have put it here before.
I think that in many a faceless office, there were working many officials with bits of information. This was passed up the chain.
The area I don't know is next.
Either someone reicieved this information, and a political decison was made to do nothing, or the inofrmation was bungled, misshandled and lost, I dont know.
At this point, I think the planes were crashed as they appear to have been done.
The "conspiracy" in my mind is the possibility that a deliberate decision was made by a hnadful of people in more or less knowledge of the full picture, to do nothing.
That is possible, I feel.
The bombs, no-planes, expolsives theories use many a point where there is no clear provable answer either way, but when you add it up to the entire big picture, you are asking an organisation that cant even get my council tax correct to run the biggest conspiracy on the planet? There is so much wrong with that as a piece of logic, it strikes me as ... interesting to assume that when there is something that cant be proven wither way, it must support it. |
