I'd put an amazon link to his CD here if I knew how.

What do you think of this cover? I saw that you really enjoyed the original.

Saw this yesterday, but then i noticed it was already posted...

ah well

"Man, this is like totally the tallest flight of stairs ever!"

Also give her credit for walking the equivalent of 10 stories without sitting down for a rest... unless that was done before and this was her second attempt

From your own link:

FACT: Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F). However, experts agree that for the towers to collapse, their steel frames didn't need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength — and that required exposure to much less heat. "I have never seen melted steel in a building fire," says retired New York deputy fire chief Vincent Dunn, author of The Collapse Of Burning Buildings: A Guide To Fireground Safety. "But I've seen a lot of twisted, warped, bent and sagging steel. What happens is that the steel tries to expand at both ends, but when it can no longer expand, it sags and the surrounding concrete cracks."

"Steel loses about 50 percent of its strength at 1100°F," notes senior engineer Farid Alfawak-hiri of the American Institute of Steel Construction. "And at 1800° it is probably at less than 10 percent." NIST also believes that a great deal of the spray-on fireproofing insulation was likely knocked off the steel beams that were in the path of the crashing jets, leaving the metal more vulnerable to the heat.

The Madrid fire burned for 24 hours at temperatures up to 800°C (1500°F) and did not collapse. In 2004, Venezuela's tallest building burned uncontrolled for 17 hours and did not collapse. WTC7 had two small fires which burned for 6 hours and it collapsed in what looks like a controlled demolition.


When the tapes from 9/11 firefighters in were released, there was no mention of communication problems as we were told, and firefighters only reported small pockets of fire, not a huge inferno that can melt steel.

Two hose lines are needed, Chief Orio Palmer says from an upper floor of the badly damaged south tower at the World Trade Center. Just two hose lines to attack two isolated pockets of fire. ''We should be able to knock it down with two lines,'' he tells the firefighters of Ladder Company 15 who were following him up the stairs of the doomed tower.

Lt. Joseph G. Leavey is heard responding: ''Orio, we're on 78, but we're in the B stairway. Trapped in here. We got to put some fire out to get to you.''

Ladder 15 had finally found the fire after an arduous climb to the 78th floor, according to the tape. They were in the B stairwell. On the other side of the fire were hundreds of people, blocked from fleeing by smoke and flame on the stairs. Chief Palmer was facing similar fires in the A stairwell, across the floor.

''We're gonna knock down some fire here in the B Stair,'' Lieutenant Leavey is heard telling one of his firefighters. ''We'll meet up with you. You get over to the A Stair and help out Chief Palmer.''

If those fires were burning at 1500-1800°F, the people on that floor would have been dead.

I'm no conspiracy theory nutcase, but I'm also not stupid, the "official" explanations of collapse just don't match reality.

...There's no way you tried...

So, please enlighten us, oh great and knowledgeable one: When was the last time two 747s, flying at speed, still loaded with fuel, crashed into two of the tallest buildings in the world? Also, when was the last time a 100+ storie building collapsed, with a large portion of it falling on to another building??

First time you say? OK.

Something is askew here, and it will probably remain that way until documents get declassified. I don't believe the story I was told. Fide Nominem.

rationally and scientifically? state your science, theo!

You were taught in high school that gravity pulls things to the ground at 9.8 meters per second squared, correct?

9.8 meters is equal to 32.152231 feet

So, from the first second of a fall in a vacuum(no air to produce friction against, according to Newtonian Physics), a ball would have been traveling at 32.152231 feet per second, per second

In the First second - 0-32.152231 feet down from origin - 32.152231 feet per second
In the Second second - 32.152231 - 96.456693 feet down from origin - 64.304462 feet per second
In the Third second - 96.456693 - 192.913386 feet down from origin - 96.456693 feet per second
In the Fourth Second - 192.913386 - 289.370079 feet down from origin - 128.608924 feet per second
In the Fifth Second - 289.370079 - 421.131234 feet down from origin - 160.761155 feet per second
In the Sixth Second - 421.131234 - 614.04462 feet down from origin - 192.913386 feet per second
In the Seventh Second - 614.04462 - 839.110237 feet down from origin - 225.065617 feet per second
In the Eighth Second - 839.110237 - 1096.325085 feet down from origin - 257.214848 feet per second
In the Ninth Second - 1096.325085 - 1385.692164 feet down from origin - 289.367079 feet per second
In the Tenth Second - 1385.692164 - 1707.211474 feet down from origin - 321.51931 feet per second
(Tallest of the towers was around 1370 feet tall...thus, I stop here.)

Working FORWARDS - equation of a fall, based on the gravity of Earth IN A VACUUM.

Suffice it to say, it should have taken at least a minute and a half for those towers to fall, just by friction of the steel alone(even ASSUMING that all of the floor connectors gave way at the EXACT SAME MOMENT).

If you want, I can send you the blueprints - STATE YOUR RATIONALE!

Heh, reminds me of last winter. In Toronto, huge sheets of ice were falling off of the CN Tower which, you may recall, was the tallest freestanding structure in the world. A nearby hotel gave out hard hats and escorted its customers.

No Problem That thing with the embed validation and dupe search is strange, though. I just wrote Lucky a short msg about it...

In reply to this comment by laura:
I guess not...and also it must be that when you search for a vid (not advanced) it doesn't search the titles, just the tags, because your should have come up when I checked... sorry 'bout that!

BTW: I've noticed that this vid has the same YT-URL as mine - seems that embed code validation doesn't work properly... o0
