Speaking of 9/11 (please don't shoot me down for this; I have a right to my opinion), I really think people should let that shit go.  I mean, yeah, it was a horrible thing done to my country, but it was seven fucking years ago, and my government is doing just as horrible stuff to other people today.  Plus, it's made all the ignorant rednecks hold a grudge against pretty much all foreigners.  Do you know how fucking small the extremist Muslim population is? Very.  And out of that tiny percentage, how many of those people do you think are actually plotting to obliterate America and all other infidels? That's just how they were fucking taught.  If you were taught your entire life to shoot a puppy every time you saw one, you'd do it happily.  If someone thought that what you were doing was wrong, you'd probably just say a big, "FUCK YOU!" too.  So there.

But you are as bad as the "baddies". For somebody who "isn't" the victim you sure do a good job of acting like one.

September 11th isn't important. Americans like to make it out like it is, fuck knows why... oh wait, I do know why: you like being the "victim".

USA: Poor, poor us americans. September 11. :(
Let's invade Afghanistan!

Title: Re: Happy 9/11
Post by: Saddam Hussein on September 12, 2008, 08:49:30 AM
Wardogg, please relax.  I'm guessing that 9/11 had a personal effect on you.  And I'm truly sorry about everyone who died, along with their friends and family members who have to deal with their losses.  And if that includes you, you have my deepest condolences, in all seriousness.

I would never make a joke about that in real life, and probably neither would Osama or anyone else in this thread.  You might find stuff on the Internet tasteless, but you don't have to post in it, because, as this is the Internet, your opinions may not be taken as seriously as they should be.

Another example: I find 4chan to be absolutely hilarious most of the time.  But occasionally they will cross the line and post something absolutely horrible, like terrorists brutally decapitating American soldiers in Iraq.  I know people who have served or are serving in Iraq, and I find this absolutely disgusting.  So, instead of telling strangers who don't care over the Internet that I think they're sick, I just ignore those pages.  I doubt the posters really find that kind of stuff funny in real life.

One more thing: There might have been some communication problems with this:

September 11th isn't important. Americans like to make it out like it is, fuck knows why... oh wait, I do know why: you like being the "victim".

USA: Poor, poor us americans. September 11. :(

USA: That was fun, let's invade Iraq.

Rest of the world: I don't think so.

USA: Sept 11!

Rest of the world: well I suppose you are quite pathetic, go ahead.

I hesitate to point the finger of blame at America itself, but at least a kernel of this is true.  The country was united after 9/11 and the invasion of Afghanistan.  But the Iraq War was manipulation at its worst.

The rationale for invading Iraq at the time was WMDs.  These did not exist.  So Bush and company changed their tune after the war by hinting that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, which also wasn't true.  During the entire 2004 presidential campaign, Bush's main point was that he could keep the country safe and Kerry couldn't, spreading the subliminal message that he was targeting the terrorists responsible for 9/11 by invading Iraq.

But to let Muffz, who doesn't know a fucks thing about sacrifice, post what she did without me saying anything, isn't going to happen.

The Twat changed his last post but my statement still stands.

As for the ensuing wars.  Afghanistan was a just and right cause.  We all agree. 

Iraq on the other hand.  Despite the reason we first when in there, which I agree was a mistake due to improper intelligence, is going to be for the better in the long run.  That place now has water and electricity and schools and hospitals now where they were not there before.

Clinging onto the edifice of a decadent past is not healthy for progressions to occur.

Unfortunately, I am a fence sitter when it comes to the war in Iraq. I do believe, however, that the death of innocent people in the country who are persecuted for their beliefs was not tolerable. Some people disagree with that and say "Well, America should keep it's big fat nose out of another country's business." Ok, fair enough, they stand for neutrality. However, that begs the question: If we, possibly having the most powerful military in the world, don't step in and say 'What you're doing is wrong and immoral!', then who will?

Now, I don't feel that we should be the "World Police", but a little encouragement from us to get country's on the right path to tolerance, humanity, and human decency is necessary. If that means we have to kick someone's ass, then so be it. If we can do it the diplomatic way, then even better. In the case of Iraq, we needed to kick Saddam's ass (:-*) and then establish order to even be able to do it diplomatically.

As far as 9/11 goes, yeah, it happened 7 years ago. Relax. It's nice to show remembrance, and I think that once Freedom Tower is finished being built, it will no longer be a time to show remorse, but to celebrate the ultimate monument of remembrance. However, it's a sign of irony... I personally believe that the 9/11 events we're established by the US government. Many people are overly patriotic and refuse to accept that even as a possibility. Sound familiar? Sounds awfully similar to a religious zealot. But there is lot's of evidence. The problem is, no one will be able to be 100% sure unless the government itself were to be overtaken and then documents able to be revealed, provided they were not destroyed.

All in all, as I said, I am a fence sitter. There is no 100% for me. But I refuse to sit and get butthurt over it. I say: Laugh.

The Blitz? It certainly didn't happen yesterday, and does crippled count as traumatized? If so, we've got that too, if not, sorry for being stronger people. Roughly the same amount of casualties across the whole country almost every night? People could be killed, wounded or made homeless if they were lucky? That was like the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 on a daily basis, but do we have remembrance every day? No, we got on with our lives. The problem is, this hasn't ever happened before, the closest was Pearl Harbour, so I'd see why Americans would be shit-scared, but not all bitchy like Wardogg.

So.. there's no one in your country still sensitive about it? Obviously there are some people who will be a little more upset than others.  There are some who have actually lost friends and family, so 7 yrs probably doesn't seem that long ago to them.  And.. we don't have remembrances everyday for 9/11.. it was yesterday, so there were some memorial services. There will most likely be memorial services every Sept 11th for years to come, and there's not much any of us can do about it.  Please don't mistake the behavior of some politicians and the media for the behavior of all Americans.  Most of us have moved on, most of us didn't pay any attention to the day as anything special.  I don't begrudge those who are still in mourning for their friends and family their one day.

I don't know how General Douchebag can think that seven years after the Blitz it wasn't still lingering in most Englanders' minds.  He's trying to compare current feeling in England of something that happened over 60 years ago to current feeling in America of something that happened 7 years ago.  There's a pretty big difference there.  ::)

Because a lot less people died. The world trade center had the most civilian deaths in america from any attack. So it seems to have stuck.

Just because extremist Afghans killed innocent Americans doesn't give extremist Americans the right to kill innocent Afghans.
The invasion of Afghanistan happened because Afghanistan was controlled by a group of extremists with close ties to Osama who refused to stop giving him shelter. Average life for Afgan citizens is much, much better now then it was under the Taliban.

Americans may not remember the specific date (neither did you), but we remember the bombings in London.  About 50 people died, and several hundred were injured.  At the time, it freaked me out a bit... I also remember the bombings in Madrid around the same time, or maybe the year before.  It's just that our media makes a bigger deal of these memorial services than yours probably does.

The ends don't always justify the means.

Speaking of 9/11 (please don't shoot me down for this; I have a right to my opinion), I really think people should let that shit go.  I mean, yeah, it was a horrible thing done to my country, but it was seven fucking years ago, and my government is doing just as horrible stuff to other people today.  Plus, it's made all the ignorant rednecks hold a grudge against pretty much all foreigners.  Do you know how fucking small the extremist Muslim population is? Very.  And out of that tiny percentage, how many of those people do you think are actually plotting to obliterate America and all other infidels? That's just how they were fucking taught.  If you were taught your entire life to shoot a puppy every time you saw one, you'd do it happily.  If someone thought that what you were doing was wrong, you'd probably just say a big, "FUCK YOU!" too.  So there.

Well, hypothetically, if someone was trying to take away my freedom, then yes, I would say so. Realistically, that doesn't seem to be happening at all. If Americans had largely ignored the events of September 11th, 2001, then the terrorists would have had no incentive to continue because they wouldn't be having any effect on the populace. Instead they make America paranoid, which means that they can sit back and not do anything, knowing that at the first sign of something going awry people are going to start worrying about a terrorist attack, and when everything finally settles down they know that another attack will make America paranoid for another decade or so, so they have a reason to do it.

That's exactly right.  We supported him while he was trying to do something and turned on him when he practically abandoned that effort in favor of a meaningless war in a part of the world we'd be wiser to just stay out of over imaginary weapons of mass destruction.  And that's on top of all the other awful things he's done during his administration.  We hadn't gotten much of a taste of his presidency before 9/11.

He also received warnings from the European countries that Bin Laden will strike the U.S. some time in September, based on the information gathered through their intelligence network. Again, Bush thinks, "who gives a shit, America has the most advanced communication network ever. We will know they will strike us before they even start planning it!"

On Sept 11, 2001, something went wrong. Communications between NORAD and the military were lagging. The plane crews, notably Betty Ong, reported to back to the controllers, which took at least ~10 minutes for NORAD to respond each of them, which then took at least ~20 minutes for the military to respond to NORAD's call. Of course, the F-16s (the best they have during that time) of the nearest air base needed to take at least ~15 minutes to reach and shoot down the hijacked planes. These precious minutes are more than enough for the terrorists to carry out most of their attacks. The four dangerous planes flew above the sky of the world's remaining superpower for almost 2 hours (8:19 am-10:03:11 a.m, all four planes crashed within that time). Nope, no military respond.

Guess what? Bush was at Florida reading the Pet Goat with little kids after the first tower was hit.

Exactly, we trusted the govt to do the right thing.  We (most of us) supported Bush because we didn't know he was a self-serving asshole. Some of the most seemingly trustworthy govt officials were on TV telling us there were WMDs in Iraq.  I still remember Colin Powell holding that little vile of white powder!  Since then Bush's administration has done everything it can to take our basic freedoms away.  I hope like hell the next president, whether it's McCain or Obama, does his best to restore confidence in our govt.

-Most Afghans don't want foreign troops to withdraw from the country, and are glad the Taliban is no longer in power, so the majority agree with the invasion.

Based on what? Afghans are notoriously resistant to foreign occupation. Spetsnaz veterans will tell you. To say that the majority of them agree with the US invasion of their land disregards their tribal heritage. They believe in blood retribution and do not take shot-up weddings and bombed villages lightly. Even though there is considerable internecine strife, when faced with a common enemy they tend to unite. And a fierce opponent he is when 70 virgins await him in heaven.

This is very wrong.

Prior to 9/11 there was an uprising in Afghanistan. When the Taliban had taken control of about 90% of the country a group led by Ahmad Massoud (The Northern Alliance) formed in opposition. Massoud, and his followers, fought against the real oppressors (Taliban) and gathered hundreds of new followers every day. Massoud was assassinated by Al-Queda on 9/9/01 and is now viewed as a national hero.

Therefore, when the American arrived to overthrow the Taliban tens of thousands of Afghans, including Massouds army, joined to fight and took to the streets in joy. The Taliban was a brutal regime and the vast Afghan population were unhappy under their control. When the Americans arrived the Afghan people finally knew that the Talibans days were numbered.

If you feel that the 9/11 attacks were wrong, then why did you do them? ???

Osama didn't destroy the buildings! He was employed by the CIA (for a second time) to hijack the planes! The US did the dirty work by planting demo charges!

the evidence:

-the wtc was built to withstand the impact of large passenger planes
-70 years earlier, a large military transport plane crashed into the empire state building...and nothing happened to the building
-there are secondary and tertiary explosions after the effect
-the fuel wasn't hot enough to melt the supports
-a few weeks earlier the wtc was evacuated so some "engineers" could access the building
-a few policemen were censored for inferring that there was a bomb
-the building fell exactly the same way as every professionally demolished multi-story building

someone said that they could disprove this, I invite you to please try

Oh goody.

1. The buildings were to withstand a 707 sized jet, low on fuel, lost in the fog, and slow, looking for a place to land.  Both aircraft were 757s with large amounts of fuel, flying at close to Vmo speeds. 

2. What does this prove?

3. After what effect?

4. No but the fire was

5. Again, this proves what?

6. Yes, to dispell rumors.

7. The building fell exactly how it should if floors were dropping straight down upon each other adding its weight to the current floor weight and so on and so on until complete collapse.


Try again.

I am going to now quote from the best page in the universe: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=911_morons

Quote from: Maddox
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/conspiracy_news1.gif)
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/conspiracy_news2.gif)
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/conspiracy_news3.gif)


I've been getting a lot of email lately from people sending me this stupid 9/11 conspiracy video called "Loose Change." I've tried to ignore it for months now, but you morons keep forwarding it to me, and I keep having to add more email addresses to my spam filter. The ironic part is that I'm a huge conspiracy nut, and even I can't stomach this bullshit. For example, I believe that there is a small, reptile-like creature called Chupacabra that sucks the blood of goats in Mexico. Area 51? Hell yes. Roswell? Pass me the Kool-Aid. But "Loose Change" elevates bullshit to an artform. Watching this video is like being bukakked with stupid.

Unlike others who debunk 9/11 conspiracy theories, or "cons" for short, I'm not going to bother with going through intricate point-by-point (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=911_morons#FURTHER_READING) rebuttals, or pointing out the hundreds of factual inaccuracies and outright lies in this "documentary," because I don't need to. In fact, I can debunk the entire story with one simple observation:
The fact that this man is alive...
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/dylan_avery_big.jpg)
...is proof that "Loose Change" is bullshit.

Here's why:

1. The man in the picture above is Dylan Avery. To be more precise, the fact that Dylan, his friends, and family are alive, is proof that "Loose Change" is bullshit. He, along with a couple of his friends, created a 9/11 conspiracy video claiming that the US government and the military caused 9/11. Take a closer look at the last part of that last sentence: he's claiming that the US government, for whatever ends, killed nearly 3,000 innocent Americans, and tens if not hundreds of thousands of more lives in the conflicts that ensued because of it.

2. Since Dylan's arguing that the government has no problem killing 3,000 innocent people, this raises the question: if his documentary is true, and we've established that the government has no ethical qualms about killing thousands of its own people, then why wouldn't the government kill Avery and his friends as well? What's a few more lives to them to ensure the success of this conspiracy?

Whatever reason it may be that the government supposedly orchestrated this conspiracy, it must have been worth it to them to cause so much suffering and loss of life. So if there's any truth to this, then you can bet your ass that the government wouldn't let a couple of pecker-neck chumps with a couple of Macs and too much time on their hands jeopardise their entire operation by letting this stupid video float around on the Internet. I can picture you morons emailing me now: "BUT MADOX, MAYBE DYLAN POSTED IT ON THE INTERNET BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT HAD A CHANCE TO REMOVE IT LOL." Yeah, too bad this rebuttal is inconsistent with the premise of Dylan's shit-festival of a movie: that the WTC was brought down "in a carefully planned and controlled demolition ... and it was pulled off with military precision." Now we're expected to believe that the same government that was able to commit the largest terrorist operation in history--with military precision no less--is suddenly too incompetent to sniff out and shut down a little website set up by some college losers within days, if not minutes of its creation? The US government has the capability to monitor every electronic communication made anywhere in the world, yet we're expected to believe that they wouldn't be able to nix this kid long before his video ever became popular?

I win. There is no conspiracy. Eat my shit, losers.

The other type of 9/11 conspiracy email you dipshits keep sending is the $20 dollar WTC conspiracy. Glenn Beck--a loud-mouthed, fat-faced asshole on CNN--has a copy of it on his website:

The new U.S. $20 dollar bill contains hidden pictures of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks!
Yes! see for yourself...
1st) FOLD A NEW $20 BILL THIS WAY:
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gb_bill1.gif)
2nd) CONTINUE TO FOLD THIS WAY
Compare your fold precisely to this picture.
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gb_bill2.gif)
3rd) FOLD THE RIGHT SIDE UNDER,
exactly as you folded the left side.
You'll immediately see the Pentagon ablaze! (red circle)
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gb_bill3.gif)
4th) NOW FLIP IT OVER AND SEE OTHER SIDE
The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center are hit and smoking.
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gb_bill4.gif)
What are the odds that a simple geometric folding of the $20 bill would accidentally contain a representation of both terror attacks?

What are the odds that a simple geometric folding of a $20 bill with elements of design that were conceived in 1928 by a committee of treasurers, a full 42 years before the World Trade Center even existed, could accidentally contain a representation of both terror attacks? Pretty good, apparently.

The article on Beck's page goes on to ask: Need even more proof? No, you cock! You had me at "the U.S. $20 dollar bill contains hidden pictures of the World Trade Center." As if a folded picture of shrubbery on a bill that kind of looks like smoke wasn't convincing enough of a conspiracy, Beck offers this gem on his site to sway those few remaining skeptics:
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gb_bill5.gif)

This is followed by the fact that 9+11 = 20, and in big red letters:
COINCIDENCE? YOU DECIDE!

The question mark at the end of "COINCIDENCE" is clearly there to denote a rhetorical question, as clearly, this is not a coincidence. To help out Glenn Beck, I sat down with a $100 bill and tried to find any hidden messages the bill might contain. Here's one that he hasn't found yet:

Step 1:

Fold the bill so that the "ON" of "ONE" is covered:
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gbeck1.gif)
Step 2:

Fold again like so, covering "HU" of "HUNDRED:"
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gbeck2.gif)

Step 3:

Another fold covering part of "DOLLARS:"
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gbeck3.gif)

Step 4:

Finally make one last fold, and with a magic marker, add the following letters to reveal a hidden message!
(http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/images/gbeck5.gif)

Coincidence? YOU DECIDE!

1 Nope do your own homework.

Never heard of the 20$ bill one before, and I don't believe most of those "forced math superstitions", but this one's kind of neat. Anyway, if the US killed him it would prove the conspiracy to the extreme.

-I am currently researching this
-Researching
-These were significant secondaries
-But there were failsafes
-
-
-No, I am saying if the building were as weak as you say, it would have toppled.

A little research has brought me to the following conclusions:

-There is conflicting data on this. If the WTC is really a conspiracy, it obviously involves the media, the internet, and possibly the engineers who built the WTC. However, one site claims that the WTC could possibly withstand a 707 but not a 767. However, a 707 has a higher maximum speed than a 767. Though I do not claim the Force equation to equate with the Damage equation, a 767 would have more kinetic energy crashing into a building than a 707.
-At 9:49 a.m., the ten-ton, B-25 bomber smashed into the north side of the Empire State Building. The majority of the plane hit the 79th floor, creating a hole in the building eighteen feet wide and twenty feet high. The plane's high-octane fuel exploded, hurtling flames down the side of the building and inside through hallways and stairwells all the way down to the 75th floor. The plane crash killed 14 people (11 office workers and the three crewmen) plus injured 26 others. Though the integrity of the Empire State Building was not affected, the cost of the damage done by the crash was $1 million. The speed was 225 mph.
-
-If the building fell down due corrosion you would have heard the metal bending and it would have fell down slowly and irregularly.

well just watch it falling. u see explosions on every side. Also, a question: Have you ever seen videos of tall buildings that have been demolished? They go the exact same way as the WTC. Also these vids were around before the wtc. Now, if there are any videos that show a building falling because of a plane, I'd like to see them, because it's never happened before.

Also, how could it fall at free-fall speeds unless all of the supports in the building were gone.

Ahh I knew those were the secondaries you were talking about.  Ever heard of air pressure?  Air pressure pushed that debris out those windows.

Yes I have seen demo'd buildings.  It doesn't prove anything.

You haven't seen any videos of it, because a 757 sized airplane full of fuel has never been flown into a building before.

Also what about that bridge collapse in California, I think it was, from the tanker truck fire.  That wasn't even as hot as the WTC fires.

Air pressure ain't that powerful. It may have pushed debris, but not much more.

It only "hints"

For both our sakes, it would make our arguments a lot more solid if it did.

Never heard of it but I believe you.

Can you explain how the building fell so fast though? If the supports weren't removed before the incident, it would have fallen a lot slower (less than 9 m/s2?)

Also, how did airpressure turn the building to dust?

The funny thing is all your arguments do not work. Just like any conspiracy theory. The empire state building has a completely different structural support system. The planes that hit the twin towers had completely full fuel tanks. The metal lost all structural integrity, then the cement brought itself down. Guess how they demo a building? They blow out the supports, then let it's weight bring it down. Wow. That actually makes.... sense.

The theory is, their compounding weight crashing down, structurally collapsed each floor, attaining free-fall speed. My toothpick bridges in elementary school seem to discount this theory though.

But, the steel girders were built to account for this, and even if they were built incorrectly they should have put some sort of force against the falling...which isn't apparent in the WTC videos. Obviously they held up the building for 50 years so they couldn't have been as weak as you say.

If you try to demolish a skyscraper, by destroying a few of the middle floors, it won't happen.

So basically your argument is, you haven't seen pictures of a plane, and neither has anyone else.

Yes, all the witnesses that found airplane parts... Wouldn't it be more convenient for the government to run a third plane into the pentagon. Rather than fuck up their GIANT scheme. If they can steal two planes, why is a third one so hard. How did they get all these families to magically lose people that were on the flight that never happened. How did these people disappear.

If you feel that the 9/11 attacks were wrong, then why did you do them? ???

Osama didn't destroy the buildings! He was employed by the CIA (for a second time) to hijack the planes! The US did the dirty work by planting demo charges!

the evidence:

-the wtc was built to withstand the impact of large passenger planes
-70 years earlier, a large military transport plane crashed into the empire state building...and nothing happened to the building
-there are secondary and tertiary explosions after the effect
-the fuel wasn't hot enough to melt the supports
-a few weeks earlier the wtc was evacuated so some "engineers" could access the building
-a few policemen were censored for inferring that there was a bomb
-the building fell exactly the same way as every professionally demolished multi-story building

someone said that they could disprove this, I invite you to please try





It has been debunked long ago.

Well the easiest one to debunk is the fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel.  That is a true statement but steel doesn't have to melt to lose its strength.  I don't remember the real number but the steel in the WTC lost atleast 50 percent of its supporting strength.

your saying that most of the people who support Bush think the WTC is a US Conspiracy?

I tried searching with google and couldnt find any.

anyway nobody has yet explained why the existing support provided no resistance at all to the building. the building fell in 15 seconds, for an object in a vacuum to fall the same distance it would take 10 seconds. The 5 seconds can be accounted for by airresistance, airpressure, and solid resistance, however it cannot be accounted for by strong building archetectural foundations)

Nightmare, youre a fool. Pissed off Muslims were behind 9/11. Two planes full of fuel hit the WTC causing severe fires and extraordinary heat which caused the buildings to collapse. The secondary "explosions" you refer to was pressure caused by the floors above pancaking as the building collapsed.

The Pentagon was also hit by a large plane. Missles leave a trail behind them (similar to the ones you see high-flying jets cause) and people probably would have noticed that. There are, however, many witnesses to a low flying jet headed towards the Pentagon though.

I really dont see how anyone can joke about 9/11 but, as Saddam said earlier, I guess nothing is sacred on the internet.

-Most Afghans don't want foreign troops to withdraw from the country, and are glad the Taliban is no longer in power, so the majority agree with the invasion.

Based on what? Afghans are notoriously resistant to foreign occupation. Spetsnaz veterans will tell you. To say that the majority of them agree with the US invasion of their land disregards their tribal heritage. They believe in blood retribution and do not take shot-up weddings and bombed villages lightly. Even though there is considerable internecine strife, when faced with a common enemy they tend to unite. And a fierce opponent he is when 70 virgins await him in heaven.

This is very wrong.

Prior to 9/11 there was an uprising in Afghanistan. When the Taliban had taken control of about 90% of the country a group led by Ahmad Massoud (The Northern Alliance) formed in opposition. Massoud, and his followers, fought against the real oppressors (Taliban) and gathered hundreds of new followers every day. Massoud was assassinated by Al-Queda on 9/9/01 and is now viewed as a national hero.

Therefore, when the American arrived to overthrow the Taliban tens of thousands of Afghans, including Massouds army, joined to fight and took to the streets in joy. The Taliban was a brutal regime and the vast Afghan population were unhappy under their control. When the Americans arrived the Afghan people finally knew that the Talibans days were numbered.

Your post does not exclude mine. What makes you think they will happily trade one oppressive regime for another?

7. The building fell exactly how it should if floors were dropping straight down upon each other adding its weight to the current floor weight and so on and so on until complete collapse.

The pancake theory would have created lots of friction as each floor fell onto the next. The fact that both towers fell in under 10 seconds indicates a total lack of structural resistance. No airplane hit building 7 yet it went down at freefall speed. How can random debris causing random fires cause such a symmetrical collapse?

Are you thinking the ever expensive titanium? 10% titanium to 90% steel alloy can still be quite expensive to manufacture, and even more so to purchase, and in a set of buildings such as World Trade Center, I think it would have been out of the budget when they were being built in the 1970's.

The reason the trade center fell is easy. There were main supports and tiny little joists connecting everything, distributing the weight. The heat resistant foam was knocked off by the impact of the plane. The burning jet fuel, and officer furniture and everything else on fire inside the trade center heated these joists up to a point where they had less ability to withstand a load. If you doubt this principle then a simply forge can show you that unmelted metal is severely weakened when heated.

The impact of the plane had destroyed some of these joists forcing the load to be redistributed to other joists. These joists are now heated so that their load bearing ability is lessened, but also they have a larger load than was intended. One or two give out increasing the load for others, until the entire weight is on the main supports collapsing them. This process no happens clear down the building at an increasing rate.

No you can't. Also an explosion is a rapid expansion of air. Seems reasonable to see debris flying out when supports and such are snapping under tons of pressure. When things give out from a load, it tends to look about like an explosion.

there was one other part I heard was involved. there was a gas line going up the tower. No one knew about it so it kept pumping the gas up to the fire. that is why the fire burned for so long.

Yeah, and they couldn't even find a person to make them a decent website. The second a conspiracy site gets a half decent website is the day half decent websites take no skill to make.

edit: most of the statements were simply "jetfuel doesn't burn at the 3,000 degrees necessary to "deform and fail joints" Which would be true, if you took the tower while completely intact and coated it in jetfuel and burned it, then it would survive. But thanks to its design (the way it supports itself) and the fact that it had a massive gap in its supports, it is likely that it would fail at this lesser weakening of the steel.

Actually, I think what you are attempting to belittle are the numerous (dozens) of firemen who are on radio and video during the events and just after describing secondary explosions throughout the towers, especially in the sub-levels, and huge series of explosions as the towers collapsed.  Those lunatics must have been already forming ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Seriously, have you even watched Loose Change?  Read any of the letters from engineers, architects, and scientists?  Even seen what the fucking infrastructure of that building looked like?

It was designed and rated to hold half again its own weight under twice the heat at which kerosene and construction and office equipment could possibly have burned under ideal (non-pressurized) conditions.  All the smoke makes it clear the conditions were extremely oxygen poor, meaning a fire not much hotter than one in your home bar-b-cue or kerosene lamp.  Has your grill (made of cheap mild steel wire, by the way, not structural steel) ever collapsed on your bar-b-cue?

Where is the debris from the 'plane' that 'crashed' in PA?  Where are the turbines from the 'plane' that was 'crashed' into the pentagon?  Why have less than 30% of the experienced commercial pilots who have tried to crash the same type of planes into the same buildings in simulations been successful, while three supposed terrorists were able to do it after a few weeks of flight training?

What caused the other building to collapse again?  I forget.  It wasn't hit by a plane, and no skyscraper in the history of skyscrapers has ever collapsed from a fire, even ones that burned for days.  Was it built out of substandard materials?

I suppose you all buy the 'magic bullet' theory as well?

Steel loses half it's structural strength at 600 degrees F. With it's load bearing ability severely compromised by the giant hole in the building collapse was definitely imminent. As more of the structure gave out, more stress was transferred to other parts.
Title: Re: The Official Goatse Thread
Post by: optimisticcynic on April 30, 2009, 07:54:15 PM
The reason the trade center fell is easy. There were main supports and tiny little joists connecting everything, distributing the weight. The heat resistant foam was knocked off by the impact of the plane. The burning jet fuel, and officer furniture and everything else on fire inside the trade center heated these joists up to a point where they had less ability to withstand a load. If you doubt this principle then a simply forge can show you that unmelted metal is severely weakened when heated.

The impact of the plane had destroyed some of these joists forcing the load to be redistributed to other joists. These joists are now heated so that their load bearing ability is lessened, but also they have a larger load than was intended. One or two give out increasing the load for others, until the entire weight is on the main supports collapsing them. This process no happens clear down the building at an increasing rate.
there was one other part I heard was involved. there was a gas line going up the tower. No one knew about it so it kept pumping the gas up to the fire. that is why the fire burned for so long.
I believe some of the fuels that where being pumped up there could have burned hotter then kerosene. second my grill has never collapsed on me. however I never had near 1/4 the weight it would take to collapse it under normal temperatures. It can hold my 150 pounds and when we are cooking there is never more then a few pounds of beef on it at a time.

No however the chance of a plane with an empty tank is many magnitudes higher then the chance of a plane with a full tank hitting it by accident. there is a point where the chance of something becomes so small you don't bother with it. when you walk out you door you don't where a gas mask in case a tank of poisonous gas is accidentally released do you?

Because if a plane is at that level and is hitting it from the side it is at least somewhat in control. if it still had gas it would go out over the ocean and try to fix its problems or drop its fuel. so if it is over the city then it would be out of fuel getting ready to land, on empty.

Contextualization adds a lot of meaning to words. Perhaps I said "a jetliner loaded with fuel" Which is very different than a regular sized airplane. They do not always completely fill the tanks on an airliner, so that would be the distinction ass pirate.

Wow.  Where do you guys get this shit?  Is there a gulliblesuckers.com that posts this crap to be respewed on message boards?


Steel loses half it's structural strength at 600 degrees F. With it's load bearing ability severely compromised by the giant hole in the building collapse was definitely imminent. As more of the structure gave out, more stress was transferred to other parts.

Bullshit.  Find me a source.  Mild steel might, but properly rated structural steel maintains the majority of its strength at much higher temperatures.  Even trying to swallow this little turd, how could parts of the structure that were never heated, such as the floors below those on fire, collapse at free-fall speed?  You're asserting that a structural steel superstructure core collapsed with nearly zero resistance under the weight of only a few of the floors above it impacting it after a drop of only 12 feet?

That's about as plausible as perpetual acceleration!


Doesn't it depend on what alloy is used? I'm sure there is some sort of steel that can withstand higher temperatures.

There is, it's called structural steel, and it was the material the superstructure core of the towers were built from.


I believe some of the fuels that where being pumped up there could have burned hotter then kerosene. second my grill has never collapsed on me. however I never had near 1/4 the weight it would take to collapse it under normal temperatures. It can hold my 150 pounds and when we are cooking there is never more then a few pounds of beef on it at a time.

Funny, on my detailed examination of the structure's schematics, I didn't see any gas lines.  Nope, no gas on any floor above the 5th of either building.

Do you just make this crap up?  Simple science provides all the answers necessary here.

No one has answered the other questions, though.  What caused the other building to collapse?  Did drywall (a fire-retardant) or paper (burns at 451 degrees F) or plastic or wood suddenly change physical properties and start burning at the 3000 degrees necessary to cause distortion in the structural steel?  Where did the 'plane' go that 'crashed' in PA?  The debris recovered by the NTSB only accounted for around 10% of the mass of the type of aircraft that supposedly crashed there.  Did the rest of the aluminum, titanium, steel, and such simply vaporize?  Where are the turbines from the engines?  We've never had one disappear from a land crash before, but both were missing in PA.

Oh, and as to the messages... the most famous one could not be a more obvious lie.  Listen to it again and think back: When was the last time you called your parents and identified yourself by your first and last name in the message?

Why can't commercial pilots consistently fly simulated aircraft into the buildings?  Were these terrorists savant pilots?  Top Gun grads?

Isn't it coincidental that less than a year before 9/11, Ashcroft and Cheney chimed in on a study whose conclusion was that America needed a 'polarizing event the likes of Pear Harbor' in order to lead the public to accept a bunch of civil liberty incursions, and then 9/11 happened, and nearly every incursion was instituted within 2 years?

Just in case you were wondering.  The flame from gas is about 471?-560?C whereas the flame from jet fuel is 600 all the way to 1300 C depending on the O2 flow.



I think we've run around in this circle before, wardogg.  It's the overpass, right?  Overpasses are made of steel-reinforced concrete, which means rebar.  From wikipedia:

A rebar, or reinforcing bar, is a common steel bar, and is commonly used in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures. It is usually formed from carbon steel, and is given ridges for better mechanical anchoring into the concrete. It can also be described as reinforcement or reinforcing steel.

In contrast, the tower's core was built from structural steel - wiki again:

Structural steel is steel construction material, a profile, formed with a specific shape or cross section and certain standards of chemical composition and strength. Structural steel shape, size, composition, strength, storage, etc, is regulated in most industrialized countries.

Rebar will soften significantly at 500-700 F and is liquid at around 1400 F.  The A441 and A572 structural steel used in the tower cores retains 90% of its high second moments of area (the type of strength required to hold up a building) at temperatures up to 2000 F.  Plus, it's coated with fireproofing material.  I've already mentioned all the thick, acrid smoke that can be clearly seen pouring from the tops of the buildings on every live feed that was running.  Experts (fire investigators, engineers, etc) concur that based on the fuels present (kerosene, paper, drywall, dried paint, office furniture, electrical wiring, carpet, computers, etc.), the estimated wind speed at that elevation, the amount of smoke, and the visible fire, the best guess as to the heat of the fire was between 600 and 900 F, just right for grilling steaks, but not nearly enough to significantly impact the load-bearing capabilities of the superstructure core.

Also, the buildings' floors were not uniformly burning - there were significant areas of the burning floors that were not on fire, especially at the core of the building where no flammables were present.  How and why, then, did the floors collapse straight down?  Why didn't the steel on one side of the building stay up for a second or two longer, causing the floor to half-collapse and preventing pancaking?  That's what the building was designed to do.  Was the entire square footage of the burning floors completely engulfed, burning at 2000+ F, weakening all the structural steel at exactly the same rate?  That is amazing - the most talented, coordinated, precise, intelligent fire since Og the caveman first rubbed a couple of sticks together.  Maybe we should prosecute the fire??!!

Listen, I've had these arguments with people who spend more time on the 911 truth boards than Gayer spends here.  They've spent years researching, and have way better stuff to throw at me.  I have a 4 MB text file with sourced data, and about 30 more reasons why the story we've been told is a lie.  You're bright people for the most part - take off the 9/11 lie goggles for an hour or two, and do some research.  Watch Loose Change, and a rebuttal video, then research the salient facts for yourself.  Read a couple of engineer/architect letters.  Read the 9/11 Commission Report!

Try to find a demolitions expert, anywhere in the world, whose professional opinion is that the towers collapsed from fire.  Go ahead - find one!

You've kind of lost me here.  Obviously you're arguing in favor a 9/11 conspiracy (if I'm mistaken, let me know).  If the building's very structure was designed to withstand such temperatures, how exactly was it engineered by the conspirators so the towers would fall as they did (you make a big deal out of the fact that they collapsed straight down)?  Are you arguing that they set up powerful explosives on every level, at every point of strength, in each tower that fell?

Do you go so far as to think that the government was actively working with Al Qaeda?  That seems to be the only way such a massive plot could be pulled off.

Thanks for getting back on topic.

I don't believe the planes took out those buildings, or that there were necessarily terrorists - or anyone at all, for that matter - on the planes that hit the towers.  I don't believe commercial airliners crashed in PA or into the Pentagon.  It seems extremely likely based on the evidence I've seen that all three buildings in NYC were dropped by controlled demolitions.  The windows blowing out several floors below the collapse wave, the speed and appearance of the collapse itself, the melted steel in the sub-basement all point to this.  The point I keep hammering on is not the shape or direction of the fall, but the speed.  The 'collapse front' falls at 9.8 m/s/s, or very nearly so - this can be easily and clearly demonstrated using any of the live feeds, a stopwatch, and the heights of the buildings and the debris fields afterward.  In previous observed cases of actual pancaking, one or more floors would collapse onto the one below, followed by a pause as the structural components supporting that floor buckle and fail, then a fall, then a short (actually slightly shorter because of the increased weight) pause, then more falling, etc.  Watch the video - there are no pauses, even at the very top.  The floors fall, one after the other, with no slowing, much less stopping, and the top floor hits the top of the debris field in almost the exact same amount of time it would have were it dropped over empty space from the same height.

And no, I don't think the government was 'working with Al Qaeda.'  I think either they knew in advance and took advantage, or they fabricated the entire Al Qaeda connection, just as they did in Iraq.  I also don't think it was 'the Government', I think it was some small group that fancies itself the Illuminati or Skull and Bones or whatever who felt this is what was necessary to accomplish their goals.  I think Ashcroft and Cheney are the most likely organizers, and I think most of the people who carried out the actions necessary are probably dead, and likely were by 9/11.  Some have suggested the team that would have been necessary to set up a controlled demolition of this magnitude might have been passengers on the planes... who knows.  It would only take a person or two to initiate the sequences in each building once everything was set up.

I don't claim to have all the answers, only to have my eyes open to see the lies.

Wow.  Where do you guys get this shit?  Is there a gulliblesuckers.com that posts this crap to be respewed on message boards?


Steel loses half it's structural strength at 600 degrees F. With it's load bearing ability severely compromised by the giant hole in the building collapse was definitely imminent. As more of the structure gave out, more stress was transferred to other parts.

Bullshit.  Find me a source.  Mild steel might, but properly rated structural steel maintains the majority of its strength at much higher temperatures.  Even trying to swallow this little turd, how could parts of the structure that were never heated, such as the floors below those on fire, collapse at free-fall speed?  You're asserting that a structural steel superstructure core collapsed with nearly zero resistance under the weight of only a few of the floors above it impacting it after a drop of only 12 feet?

That's about as plausible as perpetual acceleration!



You lose all respect from me because the link was already provided. Seriously, don't ask for a link when there already was one. You are just proving that you don't care about being fair in this debate and aren't paying attention to the other side of the debate. This means you have some sort of emotional involvement in it.

As for the rest, find me some math that says it shouldn't. You are using words to conjure an emotional reaction to "prove" something couldn't happen. Please use data.

FACT: Jet fuel burns at 800? to 1500?F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750?F). However, experts agree that for the towers to collapse, their steel frames didn't need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength ? and that required exposure to much less heat. "I have never seen melted steel in a building fire," says retired New York deputy fire chief Vincent Dunn, author of The Collapse Of Burning Buildings: A Guide To Fireground Safety. "But I've seen a lot of twisted, warped, bent and sagging steel. What happens is that the steel tries to expand at both ends, but when it can no longer expand, it sags and the surrounding concrete cracks."

"Steel loses about 50 percent of its strength at 1100?F," notes senior engineer Farid Alfawak-hiri of the American Institute of Steel Construction. "And at 1800? it is probably at less than 10 percent." NIST also believes that a great deal of the spray-on fireproofing insulation was likely knocked off the steel beams that were in the path of the crashing jets, leaving the metal more vulnerable to the heat.

But jet fuel wasn't the only thing burning, notes Forman Williams, a professor of engineering at the University of California, San Diego, and one of seven structural engineers and fire experts that PM consulted. He says that while the jet fuel was the catalyst for the WTC fires, the resulting inferno was intensified by the combustible material inside the buildings, including rugs, curtains, furniture and paper. NIST reports that pockets of fire hit 1832?F.

"The jet fuel was the ignition source," Williams tells PM. "It burned for maybe 10 minutes, and [the towers] were still standing in 10 minutes. It was the rest of the stuff burning afterward that was responsible for the heat transfer that eventually brought them down."

My biggest pet peeve is the "the tower falls as if it is at free fall." You then claim that this means it had to be a professional demolition. That is bullshit, a professional demolition, is simply a controlled destruction of the supports of a structure then allowing it to fall in on itself. The twin towers supports naturally demolished themselves, this means it would fall however a similar structure with demolished supports would fall.
