I was led to believe that #7 had avoided aircraft impact. Hmmmmm. Better research that again.

sorry, I am showing my ignorance. I assumed, from context, number 7 was one of the two main towers, both of which were struck and did seem to collapse rather neatly

Ah, the fallacious argument called "argument by authority". "Well, lotsa people think it so it must be fact". Again, people pay more attention to what everyone else is saying and thinking and do precious little thinking of their own. Hence the leaping to conclusions comment.
Thanks, but I'll wait till the facts are all in. Till then, the big conspiracy can be no more than a theory at best.

No body with vested authority is investigating the case. It's been buried by the media and congress.I'v read a lot about the mess and the whole thing stinks. What we witnessed is just not possible by the given means.Just the magical lapse of airspace security alone points to monumental incompetence or conspiracy, you cannot get a balloon into that space without inside help.:wave:

When I worked, I was a mechanical engineer. My work was mainly with building services, Heating, air conditioning, etc, in large commercial buildings. Over a 35 year career I have seen a lot of buildings come down by planned, pinpoint, demolition. For what it's worth, I have never seen a building come down smoother than bldg 7 did.


35 years as a mech engineer? Didn't you say you were a fighter pilot for five years as well?

A couple of years ago I was in Disney and was staying at a hotel and met a NY Fireman at the bar. We started talking about 9/11 of course. He was there as most were. I asked him about Building 7 but being very cautious as to not get him mad. He said

"Anyone who says Bldg. 7 was a controlled demolition is a (bad word) nut case. The building was damaged by falling debris and fires raged unchecked for hours. We did not even go near the building as we were trying to rescue as many people as possible. They're idiots."

From one who was there.

Yes I did. The answer is pretty simple but I doubt you have the math to understand it. In about 2 weeks I will be sixty eight years old....don't tell anybody...:rolleyes:

I agree. The big q is why did it fall down when it wasn't touched?
What we witnessed is just not possible by the given means.
What we see is obviously possible. I think you mean that the excuses we are given don't equate to what we saw.

....... let alone load the basement with tons of thermite. I agree. But as I said, I am not going to start saying what happened until I know what happened. It's a fool's game to say absolutely that something happened when one only suspects. That's all I'm saying.

Wasn't the Empire State Building stuck by an airplane many years ago?

Yes it was. But are you telling me that you don't see the difference between a B-24 (i think that is what it was) prop plane from the 40's and jumbo airliner?

Eag, with all due respect to my fellow firefighter, buildings don't generally fall down from having debris fall on them. If you look at the video available, #7 looked like a demo job. Also, there's a Verizon building and a Post Office on either side of it that weren't damaged much by falling debris, they survived and they were the buildings directly across the road from the towers, whereas #7 was kind of in between and across the road. Demolition from falling debris doesn't add up well.

So wait- the REAL conspiracy is #juan subliminally "forcing" us to get him a sweet sweet bottle of liquor??? (and if you get a chance to try Glendronach, give it a whirl, I was lucky enough to get a bottle around x-mas and it was shockingly good- too bad it was so good that everyone wanted a taste or I'd still have it)

My birthday is in just one week, but being a young upstart I totally forgot the "long term" approach- maybe a little airline bottle of Crown Royal would be more fitting for me :D

Sorry to get off topic, continue :D
