"Building 7" Explained

marbles says...

FEMA: "WTC 4, 5, and 6 are eight- and nine-story steel-framed office buildings, located on the north and east sides of the WTC Plaza, that were built circa 1970. ... Because of their close proximity to WTC 1 and WTC 2, all three buildings were subjected to severe debris impact damage when the towers collapsed. as well as the fires that developed from the debris. Most of WTC 4 collapsed when impacted by the exterior column debris from WTC 2; the remaining section had a complete burnout. WTC 5 and WTC 6 were impacted by exterior column debris from WTC I that caused large sections of localized collapse and subsequent fires spread throughout most of the buildings. All three buildings also were able to resist progressive collapse, in spite of the extensive local collapses that occurred."

So WTC 4, 5, and 6 behave like every other steel-framed building in history, but somehow WTC 7 collapses like a house of cards?

Observing the collapse of 47-story WTC 7 shows it to have all of the features of an implosion engineered by controlled demolition:

-The collapse of the main structure commences suddenly (several seconds after the penthouse falls).
-The building sinks in a precisely vertical manner into its footprint.
-Puffs of dust emerge from the building's facade early in the event.
-The collapse is total, producing a rubble pile only about three stories high.
-The main structure collapses totally in under 7 seconds, only about a second slower than it would take a brick dropped from the building's roof to reach the ground in a vacuum.

But NIST never tests for any explosive residue. Instead they spend 5+ years perfecting a computer model to blame the collapse on office fires.

And skeptics are the crazy ones? If you don't regurgitate government lies, then you're a conspiracy nut?

Go back to bed America.

Bible Teachings: Girl spanked to death in the name of god

>> ^Trancecoach:

yet another example of how religion keeps people living in the dark ages.


Funny, I thought it was the fact that we are a fucked up species that kept us from salvation. I thought it was our genetic code (You know, science and such) that prevented us from passing our hatred and seeking enlightenment... But I guess it is a man-made "concept" that is to blame.

Operation scapegoat commence!

I actually gained a lot of respect for him after "Future Sex Love Sounds" but yes, there was a time where the "playa hatin" commenced.>> ^Crosswords:

I hate Justin Timberlake.
Seems like a nice guy. Is multi-talented. Is banging Jessica Biels. Practically banging Mila Kunis (or is...) Has 3,567,210 times my income.
Yes. i hate Justin Timberlake.

He used to seem like a complete tool to me, my opinion of him has improved over the last few years. He probably just got better PR people.
Any interview or talk show I've ever seen Mila in she's been awesome, and it is a fact, she is hot. Of course we only see what we're meant to see so its not like we really know.

Yeah, and that "subjective" disease is only on the Right? To the left, no one ever earned their wealth, when in reality wealth is a by-product of someone doing something better, faster, cheaper.

"All rich people are evil exploiters, all White people are racist and all rich White people are imperialists, and don't get me started on those CORPORATIONS!

"By my very existence I am entitled to everything: living wage, free auto, free home, free education, free health care, free day care, etc."

And don't forget Race! the second religion of the left behind raising taxes. RACE is like peanut butter to the chocolate of VICTIMHOOD! Can we throw in some class warfare?!

"Don't you know no Black person ever amounted to anything without help from government? Don't you people see, we White Liberals are the GOOD guys! We CARE! Here, have some of this guy's money!"



Most people, if they survive kollij, graduate to find the world a very different place than the fictional one Professor Marx was bullshitting about. The real world is a place where results matter (except in government) and there are real consequences to making choices.

The whole premise of neo-liberalism is that poverty breeds screw-ups, when it's the other way around. But no good liberal was overly concerned with facts. People who lead with their FEELINGS are easily manipulated.

Not ONE person besides bobknight professed any outrage at the crime in that video. In unpretty language he noted the obvious common denominator. Big fucking deal.

Do you think the people who own that store deserved to have it raided by thugs? Do you think your precious nanny-gov is going to reimburse those shopkeeps? They probably are taxed to death already by the city and state, and now THIS?

Those fucking knuckleheads in the video weren't starving or dressed in rags. They were thieves and the verminous product of a community in serious fucking trouble, but all the liberal does is attempt a politically-correct beatdown on anyone stating the obvious while whine-wondering aloud: Gee Wally, why are we building all these prisons?

A: For the poor-me entitled victims YOUR government-funded, consequence-free liberal bullshit creates. Try not to look so shocked.

Hmmm. Kinda a long climb for a really short slide.

I kept waiting for something even somewhat surprising or unexpected or, frankly, creative. For naught.
