This thread is split from another thread, and the OP above was written in response to the last part of a lengthy post of mine:
How Buckling Led to "Free Fall" acceleration for part of WTC7's Collapse. - Post #29
Allow me to quote the pertinent part that Cube Radio responded too, for context in this thread:
...
Cool story, except there is zero evidence for explosives going off and cutting those very massive columns. You know, I hope, that explosive CD is done with hígh explosives - the key property being that they create shockwaves - waves faster than the speed of sound in the medium (steel in this case). It is the shockwave that cuts the steel. The shockwave is a special kind of acoustic wave. In short: It is the very SOUND of the explosion that cuts the steel. You argue that ALL perimeter were cut with explosives, right? In order for that to happen, the shockwaves need to be of some minimum amplitude - that's loudness. You can assess the necessary loudness of such charges by watching any video of any actual CD.
Please take an hour of your time, spend it on YouTube, searching for unedited videos of actual explosive CDs.
- Count how many videos you find where the explosions totally dominate the sound track
- Count how many videos you find where the explosions don't dominate the sound track, but are unmistakeable and clearly audibly right before collapse ensues
- Count how many videos you find where the explosions are bare audible (you need to crank up the volume or even use filters)
- Count how many videos you find where the explosions cannot be heard at all.
Then spend another hour and locate all unedited videos of any and all WTC collapses. Repeat the counting for cases 1-4.
I am convinced you will count exactly 0 (zero) for cases 3. and 4. in actual CDs
I am convinced you will count exactly 0 (zero) for cases 1. and 2. at the WTC
If you are honest to yourself after this excercise, you will and must concede that
there were no explosions consistent in loudness, timing, number and brisance with explosive CD at the WTC.
I think we can all agree that Cube Radio stated clearly that indeed, as predicted by me, he cannot hear any CD explosions in that video he posted. I think by selecting that one video, he implies that he,
Cube Radio, knows of of not a single other WTC collapse video that has clear and unmistakeable sounds of CD explosions.
Not. A. Single. One.
I think we need to all - including Cube Radio! - be perfectly aware at this time that neither the video in the OP, nor any other video of the WCT7 collapse,
nor indeed any video or other other sound recording of any of the three WTC collapse, contains any explosion sounds consistent in loudness, timing, number and brisance with explosive CD.
Cube Radio, please agree or disagree with this statement!
The second fact that I claimed in the post Cube Radio's OP responds to is the observation that
the explosion sounds are clear and unmistakeable in every single video of actual explosive CDs.
Cube Radio, do you know a single exception to this? Or do you agree that we can find arbitrariry many videos of explosive CDs,
all having the explosions loud and clear just before the collapse start, most often totally dominating all other sounds, without encountering a single exception to that rule?
If Cube Radio then has agreed to the claims I made in the post he responded to, we need to find an explanation for this total, 100% factual, discrepancy between known explosive CDs and the WTC collapses.
The most straightforward explanation of course is:
There were no explosive CD charges at the WTC.
Cube Radio presented another explanation:
"
The TV crew's camera uses a directional mic that is focused on the woman being interviewed. It can't possibly pick up sound from many blocks away."
He provided no evidence that this is even true: "
camera uses a directional mic".
He provided no evidence that, even if it was a "
directional mic", "
It can't possibly pick up sound from many blocks away"
These are
bare assertions.
Cube Radio claims that the woman and the camera man are reacting to the sounds of explosions, but that is mere
conjecture.
We need not prove that the mic is omni, nor need we explain what the people reacted to.
Cube Radio made claims about this one video - and it's his burden of proof.
Lastly, remember that the section of my post that Cube Radio's OP responded to started off with this observation:
"
there is zero evidence for explosives going off"
Cube Radio has not provided any evidence for explosives going off. At best, he has conjectured that people were reacting to a noise coming from WTC7 rather than the sight of WTC7 coming down, or indirectly to the reactions of other people reacting to the sight or noises. There is zero evidence that, if they reacted to noises, these noises were the sounds of explosives going off.
Cube Radio needs to be perfectly aware at this time that he has zero evidence for explosives going off.
