Hell yea, it was real. But only two buildings in history have ever came down from a fire, which is the official explanation for all three buildings, or a plane running into it, which has happened more times than you would think. The government tells us that jet fuel burned the infrastructure of the building, which is impossible as the steel used in those buildings was tested for heat levels way higher than the max heat that can be achived using jet fuel.
1. Impact from the Terrorist Planes
When Boeing jets piloted by terrorists struck the Twin Towers, some 10,000 gallons (38 kiloliters) of jet fuel fed an enormous fireball. But, the impact of the planes and the burst of flames did not make the Towers collapse right away. Like most buildings, the Twin Towers had redundant design. The term redundant design means that when one system fails, another carries the load. Each of the Twin Towers had 244 columns around a central core that housed the elevators, stairwells, mechanical systems, and utilities. When some columns were damaged, others could still support the building.
2. Heat from the Fires
The sprinkler system was damaged by the impact of the planes. But even if the sprinklers had been working, they could not have maintained enough pressure to stop the fire. Fed by the remaining jet fuel, the heat became intense. Most fires don't get hotter than 900 to 1,100 degrees F. The World Trade Center fire may have reached 1,300 or 1,400 degrees F. Structural steel does not easily melt, but it will lose about half its strength at 1,200 degrees F. The steel structure of the Twin Towers was weakened by the extreme heat. The steel also became distorted because the heat was not a uniform temperature.
3. Collapsing Floors
Most fires start in one area and then spread. The fire from the terrorist planes covered the area of an entire floor almost instantly. As the weakened floors began to collapse, they crashed into the floors below. With the weight of the plunging floors accelerating, the exterior walls buckled.
Yes, and they make a valid point. I have looked at the evidence, and have decided that this story is, by far, the most logical and likely, however horrible.
Please breifly summarize why you think the government would attack its own people, I'm dying to know.
What about them. I never said no planes hit the towers, they most certainly did. But the Pentagon, that's a differant story. The Shiridan Hotel, which has security cameras facing the side of the Pentagon presumed to have been hit by the blast, but before anyone could see them, the U.S. government confisacted them. Luckily for us, however, the released five frames of the video, none of which show any sign of a plane.
You obviously love that video with the marilyn manson music. I must admit that I was a little shaken at first. However a quick trip to this site is all you need to see the evidence to refute every claim about a pentagon missile. I dare you to compete with what they say and not sound crazy.
You have to realize that it's not like in the movies where the media and government are all heartless people who "just do their job". They're real people with real feelings. Most have families and are just your everyday freindly neighbors. They're not going to hand out misinformation because it's their job.
please do your own research on BOTH sides of the issue before jumping to a conclusion that makes perfect sense one way and no sense another way.
I assure you that I have done TEN times the research you have on this topic, for both sides, than you.
Then you won't mind giving me sites you've researched so that i can refute them.
