In reply to the discussion: The Man Who Tricked Chemtrails Conspiracy Theorists [View all]jeff47
(26,549 posts)74. Because that's what it would take for it to be "MIC forced" or "pulling other strings"
but you haven't made a single point explaining all the discrepency in every other area.
Because there's no point. You are not interested in reality, you are only interested in things that back up the story you want to be true.
For example:
And you are dead wrong, basic physics would make a building fall over -- unless EVERY structural part of the steel collapsed at exactly the same time.
Don't ever build a house or anything else that holds up a significant load. Because you have no idea how they work.
What happens is one post fails. That causes the nearby posts to fail since they are overloaded. Which then cause the next-closest posts to fail. And so on until most of one floor pancakes. That is what causes the collapse - the massive weight suddenly hitting all of the floor below causes all of the posts to collapse at exactly the same time.
Also, you are acting as if there were structural posts throughout the floor. They were not. The structural load was carried by the outer curtain (cut by the impact) and the central core.
Why do they cut the posts at the same time during demolition? Safety. It guarantees the building will fall as intended. Doesn't mean buildings have to collapse sideways if there is a slight delay.
Especially not with the burning temp of jet fuel, from the top floor
Because miraculously, the jet fuel didn't ignite anything else. Oh, and you have a very interesting definition of "top floor".
You are very interested in believing something happened. As a result, you are absolutely uninterested in anything that doesn't fit your narrative. And you will continue to believe them forever, so I don't really see any point to continuing this.

That thread is outdated because we now know the starfish are being killed by Ebola.

So because Harry Houdini wasn't really a spy that means Standard Oil wasn't really a conspiracy?

Yes, because claims of "off the record birth certificates" are exactly the same...

And a 2 story barn falling down from neglect is exactly like a skyscraper hit by a plane.

Maybe if we'd sent up interceptors as soon as the first plane's transponder was switched off

Yeah, over 40 buildings were damaged by the WTC falling "perfectly into their own footprint."
