I haven't been keeping track to this thread in the last few days - since my last comment on ignacio's "debating" style. I'll catch up at some point perhaps.
What gets me about all this - is finding this information and making some sense of it is hard work - then you get somebody quipping from the sideline on a score. Or a persons debating style. They make no other contribution except the quips - and the fact they make the quips shows they have not being paying attention to the material presented. As to ignacio - he has been asked repeatedly to stop using the word kook - and here I check in - and the first word I read it kook. Makes me sick - and it certainly has nothing to do with a debating style. Why can't a person have a conversation without slurs? Does this person have some kind of emotional, mental issues - that repeated requests - by the people doing the work on this thread - are ignored? (And worse - I find myself using the same tactics - of abuse - not acceptable.)
Then - once again - I get met by this:
pupa
How does these conspirators know everything, and yes it is a parody, a Joke, I did not even read it!
Nope PPL should accept it was done by terrorists, and it was a sad affair, There was no conspiracy. It was something bad that happened that altered the perceptions in the world forever!
Here is a person making a comment - but they state up front "I haven't read it - too much work" -.

I find the conspiracy view that the US is responsible for the entire debacle quite silly. And to attack ignacio's debating skills rather unfair.
Some people are exceptional when it comes to using satire and humour in debating, clearly if you dont have a dry sense of humour you would not be able to see it.
I question "debating skills" - since when in a debate is it okay to use derogatory language? Since when is using the work "kook" satire and humour/especially if you are on the receiving end?
If people cannot converse without respect there is no point in conversing. The very lack of respect shows the intellect involved.

Some quick quotes for comparison:
The observed collapse time of WTC 7 was 6.5 seconds. That is only half a second longer than it would have taken for the top of the building to fall to the ground in a vacuum, and half a second shorter than the falling time of an apple when air resistance is taken into account. The apple is 6 cm in diameter and weighs 100 g. With the observed collapse time we obtain the resistance factor n = 0.16 by using equation (15). The great speed of the collapse and the low value of the resistance factor strongly suggest controlled demolition.

2. The failure of the impacted floor system: The explosion following the impact
may have destroyed some of the thermal insulation around the steel columns. The 60 tons of flaming jet fuel
easily raised temperatures to 1,500° F or more. Exposed to such intense and prolonged heat, structural steel loses rigidity and strength. This
may have caused a reduction of the buckling force of the connected 2-3 floor structural system.

# Jet fuel wasn't the only thing burning, notes Forman Williams, Professor of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. 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 (1000°C), high enough to cause structural failure.
Jonathan Barnett, professor of fire protection engineering,
has repeatedly reminded the public that steel--which has a melting point of 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit--may weaken and bend, but does not melt during an ordinary office fire. Yet metallurgical studies on WTC steel brought back to WPI reveal that a novel phenomenon--called a eutectic reaction--occurred at the surface, causing intergranular melting capable of turning a solid steel girder into
Swiss cheese.

The NIST team fairly admits that their report “
does not actually include the structural behavior of the tower after the conditions for collapse initiation were reached.” (NIST, 2005, p. 80, fn. 1; emphasis added.) Quite a confession, since much of the external evidence for explosive demolition typically comes after collapse initiation, as seen in cases of acknowledged controlled demolition. (Harris, 2000.)
"In my theory, the hot fire weakened the supporting joint connection," Connor continued. "When it broke, one end of a floor fell, damaging the floor system underneath, while simultaneously tugging (pulling) the vertical members to which it was still attached toward the center of the building and down." This phenomenon started a parasitic process that accelerated until total failure and the structure fell in on itself, he said.

Where is the delay that must be expected due to conservation of momentum – one of the foundational Laws of Physics?
-
How do the upper floors fall so quickly, then, and still conserve momentum and energy in the collapsing buildings? The contradiction is ignored by FEMA, NIST and 9-11 Commission reports where conservation of energy and momentum and the fall-times were not analyzed.
