9/11: All conspiracy theories about 9/11 are painfully false.

I will finish addressing con's points from Round 1. Con states that "people who just barely made it out heard explosions from the towers before they started to fall down". Lets not forget that "explosions" does not always equal "explosives". There was after all a massive fire going on with all sorts of things inside of it. Ask any firefighter, things happen during fires. There were also fires on the ground as well. Flaming debris from the impact points in the towers fell to the ground sparking car fires among other things. There is a chance that might have caused some of the explosions. Con states that "all three buildings pancaked down, doing minimal damage to surrounding buildings". This is also not true. WTC 3 and 5 either collapsed or were completely destroyed, WTC 4 and 6 were partially collapsed, and 11 other surrounding buildings had major damage. The third tower that collapsed that day that con speaks of is WTC 7. The south face of WTC 7 was damaged by the collapse of the north tower. Many emergency workers there that day confirmed this. The north tower collapse also sparked fires in WTC 7 which ultimately led to its collapse, so I would not call that minimal damage. Link (1) is a map showing a very basic assessment of the damage caused. And I would like to bring back up cons point that "these buildings imploded and were brought down using a controlled demolition". As you can see by the damage map, the towers had debris flying everywhere. If this was a controlled demolition, it would be the worst one in history, CD's don't damage neighboring buildings like the towers did. Con asks "how did we find out who were in the planes that hit the buildings? We found their passports". We know who was on the planes because of the passenger manifests the airlines had. They have documentation of everyone who purchased a ticket and walked on the plane. Con points out that we found their passports. This is half true. We did not find multiple passports, we just found one, which happened to be from one of the hijackers. While this is an extraordinary occurrence, it is not out of the realm of possibility. Some of you might remember there was an airship called the Hindenburg that caught fire and crashed to the ground in 1937. The fire was massive and the entire thing went up in flames, but miraculously a postcard survived the inferno, a postcard made of paper. As for the passport, all I can say is things happen, a plane crashing into the building and the way in which its debris disperses is not a science, it is merely random. I would also like to point out that a lot of paper survived the crash that day as shown in all the videos with countless pieces of paper flying around in the air. And the passport also might not have been on the hijacker himself in the front of the plane. It could have been anywhere on the plane. Maybe it got thrown to the ground during the hijacking leaving it unencumbered to fly wherever. You would also have to ask yourself what point is trying to be made here. Is con trying to say this passport was planted on the street? In the middle of this chaos some government official decided to place it there? As for the black-boxes, they are indeed made to survive the most extreme of conditions, but that does not mean they cannot still be destroyed. The force of the plane crashing into the building might have does quite a bit of damage and then the building collapsing could have finished it off. When the buildings collapsed, they were essentially giant blenders made up of all sorts of things. This blender destroyed just about everything in the buildings. And while manufacturing the black-boxes, I highly doubt the makers put them through a test of what happened at the WTC with the crash and collapse, so we don't really know what should or could have happened to them. There is also the possibility that they did in fact find the black-boxes but just did not tell the public. But if that is the case, it still doesn't mean the US government were the conspirators. Now for my points on why I believe there was no controlled demolition at the WTC. First lets go over the basic layout of the towers. Link (2) is an overhead shot of a basic floor in the Twin Towers. Unlike most skyscrapers that have most of its supporting columns inside the building, the Twin Towers moved their structural steel to the perimeter of the building, creating the facade we see outside in both buildings. Both buildings also had a traditional rectangular core that was made up of 47 columns. The two were connected to each other using floor trusses, which created the floors of the building as well as providing horizontal support to the vertical perimeter and core columns. When they rig buildings for a controlled demolition, they rig the buildings structural support columns, which in the towers were the outer walls and core columns. So if the Twin Towers were brought down using a controlled demolition, the explosives would had to of been in those two spots. If you watch videos of the collapse of either tower, you do not see any explosives going off on the perimeter walls before or during the collapse. If there were some, they would be very obvious. Plus what would it take to put explosives on the perimeter walls? Some secret crew would have to sneak in everybody's office at night, cut the drywall, place the explosives in there on the columns, then fix the drywall by filling in the hole, sanding it, then painting it so the person whose office it was wouldn't notice it. And I don't know if you have ever seen a piece of drywall that was fixed like that, but it is almost always still noticeable. My point is that someone surely would have noticed this if it was done in their office. So that only leaves the cores of both buildings as the only viable place to put the explosives. The problem with that in the towers is that huge portions of the cores of both buildings briefly survived the collapse, for maybe 10-15 extra seconds, while the rest of the building collapsed down around it. What does this mean? Well if the explosives were placed in the cores of the buildings, the cores would not have continued to stand after the rest of the buildings collapsed, they would have been the first thing to go if that was indeed where the explosives were. Plus, there was no sign of any controlled demolition in the debris. If these buildings were rigged, there would have been some kind of remnants left over. This debris was meticulously gone through to try and find human remains, they would have found something, but they didn't. (1) http://www.tenantwise.com... (2) http://algoxy.com...
