Yet another paper concerning the Towers collapse PASSES peer review!

0 votes

"New Paper ~ Professor of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at Cambridge University passes yet another peer reviewed paper by a RESPECTED engineering Journal saying the towers collapsed the way they did without the need of explosives."

"That means it's not just a document, book, web site or calculation on a forum. It's had to pass critical review by other engineering Professors."

"I know there are CT sites which attack this paper but not one person has yet to disprove its hypothesis professionally. There are still people attacking the theory of evolution. Anyone can attack, not many can produce a paper to back it up. Just as there is no "theory of intelligent design" except on Christian web sites, there are no alternatives to this paper other than in CT sites and books."

Proper Title -

Yet another attempt by shills to lull the waking sheep back to sleep. Paid Interests Lie for money.

Do you guys got anything better than the stereotypical

Dunno...

it is hard for me personally to talk to reality deniers when it comes to 911. To watch what appears to be an otherwise normal adult twist themselves into knots explaining how I should be able to weld with a candle, how gravity is situational... how thier government has lied to them about everything else... but OH NOT THIS. How do you treat someone like this seriously?

So why bother treating them seriously?

It just ends up a waste of time on both sides of the fence. If you have not figured out at this point in time that the ~official~ explanation of 911 is absolute BS then you never will.

Period.

Yes

If this was "a "very ordinary thing to happen" how come 1) this type of collapse never happened anywhere else, even when the circumstances were similar, as in the plane hitting the Windsor building in Milan 2) the designers of the building, who specifically had in mind the possibility of a plane hitting it when they drew the plans, somehow got their own calculations all wrong? OR did they know about this vulnerability, and yet they failed to remediate the structural weaknesses and deliberately neglected to warn the occupants?

In that case, why aren't they being sued?

yes ...I've got a question

You can look at the drawings on the link you provided.

Column 79 is nowhere near any physical debris damage....what removed (removed, that's the words used) what removed the column? A burning desk?

Officially?

You are aware that ~officially~, if something does not work in the model to generate the answer you want, you just delete things from the model till it does.

So Column 79 got in the way of proving what they wanted.

Problem solved!

a wink is

as good as a nod.

Even if I concede that this "official" version of 7 is correct, which I don't happen to believe, I'm still faced with 3 buildings all dropping dead within hours. Even if I concede that impossibility I'm faced with the Pentagon. There should be no argument that all these events are linked. If I find evidence of cover-up concerning one event, it's likely to include all four events or five actually (WTC 1 2 & 7, Pent., Shanks)

These 16 or so witnesses seem more credible than any I've heard.

I guess Jedi mind tricks don't work here at the Daily Paul.

Some people have some common sense, at least.

Don't post...just leave.
I'm gonna puke...

Their WTC7 paper is wrong

From the first paper linked in that article:
http://www.structuremag.org/Archives/2007-11/SF-WTC7-Gilsanz...

"The final collapse hypothesis can be summarized as follows:
1) Debris from the collapse of WTC1 and WTC2 caused damage from impatct and fire."

It has a nice picture that supposedly shows where debris damage happened. It is inconsisntent with what the NIST report on WTC7 says:

http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/releases/wtc082108.html
"Finally, the report notes that “while debris impact from the collapse of WTC 1 initiated fires in WTC 7, the resulting structural damage had little effect in causing the collapse of WTC 7.”

So this persons first assumption in his analysis is false.

I'm sorry but the failure of a single column can not bring about global, symmetrical collapse at near free fall speed of a modern steel building just by fire.

Why won't NIST show their computer simulation which they used to "prove" this happened?

FOIA

"Why won't NIST show their computer simulation which they used to "prove" this happened?"

Has anyone tried a FOIA request to get the simulation?

Study 9-11 from another angle

to gain a better understanding of it. Those of us who try and prove it was an inside job by interpreting the physical evidence are doomed to falling into fruitless debates that boil down to, "The experts I'm citing are better than your experts." It's a quagmire.

According to Michael Ruppert, author of Crossing the Rubicon:
"These discussions of what possibly induced that [collapse of the towers] is a major psychological operations campaign designed to keep the American people from looking at the evidence of guilt."

I honestly don't know how anyone in their right mind can think those towers collapsed without the assistance of a tremendous amount of explosives, but that is beside the point. We all have to look at 9-11 from a broader perspective.

This is a good place to start:
CIA, Drugs, Wall Street & 9-11

Here ya go pseudonym

Take half of what you can bench press, then take that weight and raise it ten feet over your chest. Then have the weight dropped. Could you catch it without it hitting your chest and killing you? Now multiply that by millions of pounds and comprehend it.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Sun Tzu - The Art of War

take half

of what you can bench press and hold it over your head for 4 decades...jeez

Miamisburg, Montgomery County, Ohio

What??

I'm sorry, but WTC1, WTC2, WTC7 did not have millions of pounds heavier than it could handle lifted above it and dropped on it. What does your analogy have anything to do with, well, anything?

How much does the part of the building above the damaged

floors weigh???

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Sun Tzu - The Art of War

I don't think weight was the operative part of the sentence.

"...did not have millions of pounds heavier than it could handle lifted above it and dropped on it"

Also, RonPaulLIVES, in your analogy with the bench press weight, if the person was standing upright, as with the buildings, and held this weight above himself, and his spine or leg bone snapped, the person would not collapse symmetrically into himself, peel like a banana as with the twin towers, with his skin disintegrating and his bones shooting across the gym.

LOL!

Thanks, Jiminy.

My point is that you should educate yourself.

So you can take your ardent desire to debunk the truthers to another level and try and dismantle the soundest of our arguments, which are based on well-documented facts about, for example, inside trading leading to the highest ranks of the CIA; the CIA-ISI connection; the fact that the 9-11 Commissioners complained of CIA obstruction; the involvement of Israel; Cheney's secret Energey Task Force and its focus on oil fields in Iraq in May of 2001, and so forth.

Perhaps you have nothing to say to debunk this because you haven't done any research whatsoever; perhaps you think your ignorance and trust in the media are symbols of your great patriotism. Just don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.

If you've noticed, I haven't attacked those claims

I'm not saying that all of the claims are the truth though. I attack faulty logic and reasoning. I want truth. I cannot stand arrogant groupthink fascists who force their will and beliefs on others. I will not tolerate it.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Sun Tzu - The Art of War

Have you read about those claims at all?

Is that why you haven't attacked them?

I can't stand arrogant groupthink fascists either. But I have to tell you, you presentation of this *PEER-REVIEWED* paper seems a little in-your-face. Just because you hold to the myth that "peer review"=objectivity doesn't mean we all should; in fact, we have good reasons to be skeptical.

Good Lord! Please don't go there...

If you wish to bring up group think why don't you address the official fairy tale and outright attacks against anyone who opposses it in government (Van Jones) or entertainment (Charlie Sheen). If you want speak of "arrogance" and "group think fascists" I wish you would point the finger in the right direction my friend.

Who are the fascists the ones promoting Wars of aggression and corporatism or those who know they are being lied to and wrongfully speculate?

"Human beings with love and compassion are some of the most beautiful creatures in the universe... Those without are a plague on us all."

"Human beings with love and compassion are some of the most beautiful creatures in the universe... Those without are a plague on us all."

OH jeez... Do you like math?

Let's take your little example. The resistance against the weight coming down would at the very least cause the weight to be pushed away once it bonked you on the head. it wouldn't make your body explode and turn to dust so that the weight could split you like a banana.

Compute the resistance against the weakened section above impact area and then calculate all of the structural steel beneath the impact area that was completely unharmed. That alone would slow the collapse or cause an asymmetric collapse. This did not occur. What we saw was the upper section falling through the lower part of the building at near free fall speeds.

"Human beings with love and compassion are some of the most beautiful creatures in the universe... Those without are a plague on us all."

a question

from the link: "On the left, a video still showing the kink in the east penthouse. On the right, the kink is RECREATED when column 79 is removed."

What was done to "recreate" the removal of column 79?

Column 79 was far removed from any impact damage, there wasn't even a massive amount amount of jet fuel burning in the building. So am I to believe column 79 failed, let me rephrase that, "was removed" from burning office equipment?

You aren't making any

You aren't making any friends here. You know that right?

The cat is well and truly out of the bag now with the testimony of whistle blowers like Sibel Edmonds and 911 Commission members.

"The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that." — Alan Greenspan

Are you trying to make friends here??

The cat is far from being out of the bag.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Sun Tzu

It does not mention building #7.

So he is saying that one column failed due to extreme heat which caused the entire building to collapse into itself.

I'd hate to work in a building

where any one beam was responsible for the integrity of THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE. One good gust of wind and there she goes. Wondering how the author of this paper explains the vast amounts of unaccounted for thermetic material found in and on everything around the WTC on 9/11.
The same materials that are the basic subject of Dr Steven Jones work.
Something else that puzzles me is all the (steel metallic) vehicles that were burnt beyond recognition for blocks surrounding these collapses. All that hit these vehicles was the tidal wave of pulverized concrete. How in a pancake collapse scenario is this explained ? Or for that matter the molten metal in the basements...Don't try and wiggle here I lived there a LONG time and know for a fact this is the case.

Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow

PHewwww

What is that stink! Did a troll walk through here?

LOL

Wow
100% of posting responders agree!
This is BS.

lol
very cool!
