Tom said:Most of the fuel in the second collision burned outside the building upon impact. However the impact was much lower down the building, and the impact also damaged a great many more of the structural supports lining the outside of the building. For those reasons, it collapsed before the North tower which was hit first.
In the first explosion, a great deal of the fuel from the aircraft burned inside the building.
And I won't say this again - the government doesn't need to 'disprove' any crackpot theories. Its the job of the crackpots to prove their theories.
You can say it as many times as you like, but if the government purport a theory that defies the laws of physics I'd like a better explanation (thanks).
I find it truly amazing (and really quite scary) that the governments conspiracy theory is so widely, completely, and blindly accepted.
The burden of proof???
Whoa there horsey! Just wait a second!
2000 people died on 11/9/2001, many of them British...I think the least we can expect is a proper fucking investigation? No?
The British government spent more time and energy investigationg the Menendez assassination than the US did with 911. The US spent more time & money investigating whether or not Bill Cinton lied about getting his cock sucked than they did with 911. That's 'Fact'.
There's loads of video evidence from 911, as we all know. Unfortunately, what video evidence we have, is suspicious. Three buildings miraculously collapse. One airliner performs impossible stunts, before morphing into a small jet/missile, then disintigrating on impact with the Pentagon, but somehow manages to bore one smallish hole through multiple layers of a highly reinforced structure. The flight that passengers took-over and crashed looked remarkably like every other airliner that's been shot down, and nothing like every other airliner that's actually crashed.

Controlled demolition my arse. Have you ever seen a building prepared for demolition with explosives? You can't hide that. The building fell because of damage from falling debris and fire. Fact.
...
Yes, you can hide it. You're just used to seeing properly prepared legal demolitions, where they do everything to protect people and other buildings from debris. The explosives are within the buidling, destroying the ground supports.
And stop saying they never knew it could happen! That's a down-right lie!
Anyway, I've said it numerous times in the past, the proof is there in front of you in the videos. The three buildings that collapsed were demolished. Before you get onto the high-horse and point out all the other posts which simply state "that 'aint true", I'll repeat the main tenant of my argument for a demolition. Free-fall. All three buildings free-fell into their own foot-prints. Do you have any idea was the statistical probablities are for that to happen, not just once but three times??? It's crazy odds. Stupid crazy odds. Just stupid. And I'm not even mentioning the probablilties of running a simulated attack at the exact same time that an actual attack occurs (which also happened on 7/7)...the odds are 'grains of sand on the panet' stuff.
I've studied engineering, I understand advanced physics. This isn't advanced physics. This is basic Newtonian physics. This is Gravity. What you're seeing is the absence of any resistance (which is what controlled demolitions attempt to do).
I quite liked the fact that someone mentioned the gravitational experiments with the feather...if you dropped a hammer off the top of any of the three towers as they started to collapse, the hammer would hit the ground a mere whisper ahead of the building...which would be physically impossible without removing the structural supports.
WHY THE FU*K DO YOU THINK WE EVEN HAVE SUCH A THING AS DEMOLITIONS?????? (because buildings are difficult to bring down?)

In this article, we'll find out how demolition crews plan and execute these spectacular implosions. The violent blasts and billowing dust clouds may look chaotic, but a building implosion is actually one of the most precisely planned, delicately-balanced engineering feats you'll ever see.
...
Generally speaking, blasters will explode the major support columns on the lower floors first and then a few upper stories. In a 20-story building, for example, the blasters might blow the columns on the first and second floor, as well as the 12th and 15th floors. In most cases, blowing the support structures on the lower floors is sufficient for collapsing the building, but loading columns on upper floors helps break the building material into smaller pieces as it falls. This makes for easier clean-up following the blast.

The Bigger They Come, the Harder They Fall
The basic idea of explosive demolition is quite simple: If you remove the support structure of a building at a certain point, the section of the building above that point will fall down on the part of the building below that point. If this upper section is heavy enough, it will collide with the lower part with sufficient force to cause significant damage. The explosives are just the trigger for the demolition. It's gravity that brings the building down.
....
So, back to the burden of proof. If you belive the whacky government conspiracy theory, then you prove to me how a building can free fall without a controlled demolition. It's against the laws of physics (captain).
PS The structural integrity argument could only ever hold water if the entire building was quite literally a 'house of cards'...literally...made of paper, loosely assembled....and we know it's built with steel and concrete, so...
