Here's a picture of the North Tower going down.
Would anyone care to say that this looks like a 'progressive collapse'?

I would.
Of course the actual collapse is hidden by the debris cloud and ejecta. But yes, after considering the various things involved, it seems consistent with a building that size undergoing progressive collapse. A vast amount of potential energy is being released in a very short space of time. Some of that will naturally end up as kinetic energy in directions other than straight down.
It looks odd, as it's not the type of thing anyone has ever seen before. It would be interesting to hear what people would expect a progressive collapse of the WTC towers to look like, if not that.
(I've edited the thread title to more accurately reflect the post topic. I'd appreciate it if people could stick closely to discussing this photo until we can narrow down exactly what the science based objections are).
You don't appear to recognize the seriousness of your behaviour. On another thread, Belfort Group Case Orange, you attempted to coerce me into making a point, the point you wanted me to make, like a performing seal; and then you might consider throwing me a herring - oh yeah, or ban me for a month if I didn't do my trick within three posts, that was the other option.
Yup, that's right - steel being ejected like toothpicks is just them bouncing, and this picture is not really an accurate portayal of the reality of what happned? Is that about right? Oh, and of course - if it can throw steel beams 600ft then surely it would throw other things 'miles'. Yes, it did - it was called 'dust'. Remember the fireman - the one who was actually there on the day, saying that a tiny part of a telephone key pad was the only recognizable piece of debris - but, obviously, that's absolutely consistent with a 'progressive collapse', isn't it?Yeah, I noticed that in most of the videos they prefer to show the building AFTER collapse has been initiated. It's the initial collapse that really shows you what it going on though.
lee, don't ever demand anything for me again. I admit the portion of my comment whch was deleted was a violation of the politeness policy. You do that to me. So, I will attempt to rephrase it.
Imagine yourself five, ten, fifteen or even twenty years hence.
You are looking at yourself in the mirror wondering why you spent ten, fifteen, twenty or even thirty years arguing that 911 was a conspiracy. Your cohorts are getting older and always they are fewer and fewer, most of them seem quite mad.
As a whole, people don't even listen anymore, and time has debunked more than metabunk ever could.
There has been no "smoking gun" uncovered, not one conspirator or unwittng dupe has ever come forward showing evidence of a coverup, a demolition, a holographic projection of an airplane. Thousands of "Truthers" have, however, moved on with their lives.
Wouldn't that be a sad waste?
Remember, you've already used up a decade, you are halfway to twenty years.
To put it bluntly, lee, get a life.
Nice video.
I see the top collapsing downward. This pushes the ejected heat below and outside into the open air (oxygen) which results in a "backflash" of sorts, where the heat energy meets a requirement of fire (air/oxygen) and results in a brief fireball.
As far as the "ejected beams" and other material is concerned, sure....if the mass is compressed downwards, one of the expected areas for it to travel is outwards...because it has nowhere else to go, but "out".
It's as if you poured a mix of dry powder and twigs on to a single point....it will not stay on that point, it will expand outwards. (often with great outward velocity)

I just created this video. Fits this topic well:
Excellent video Paul, thanks. It's quite striking just how similar it is, even on this much smaller scale.
Great video Paul, well done. Here's a link to a recent court case of Havlish vs Iran that proved Iran's involvement and guilt in the planning of 911. For some reason the 911 Truthers have avoided even commenting about this very important recent case.

Why hasn't this been widely reported? Is this for real? I'm having a hard time squaring this ruling with the total lack of coverage it has received. I'm going to spread this around.![]()
