    What do you believe really happened on 9/11?
    I'll wait to see what the official NIST report says.....

    Inside the Pentagon. There are several pictures that were released during the Moussaoui trial, and there is a new book about the firefighting effort there.

    You can hear an interview with the authors here:

    http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=90696597

    only one video camera was pointed at the worlds most secure building?
    That part, yes. There are several eyewitness accounts corroborating the plane's crashing into the pentagon. There are some other private security cameras that caught bits of the flight, but nothing as good as the actual Pentagon camera.

    Enriched uranium where?

    I have all kinds of problems with the run-up to the Iraq war, if that is what you are talking about. That's the subject of many other threads though.

    There was all kinds of evidence that Al Qaeda was behind the attacks, and the hijackers did nothing to hide their iden ies. Many of them had known connections to Al Qaeda and Afghanistan. The Pentagon had no military plan for invading Afghanistan, so they went with a plan that the CIA had formulated late in the Clinton administration.

    Iraq, again, is another story.

    yet still deal with pakistan,who i belive have admitted to trainng terrorist
    That's definitely a sticking point in US foreign policy. It's very difficult since the ISI basically created the Taliban and the lawless border region of Pakistan is indeed home to many terrorists.

    Right after 9/11, we gave Musharraf an ultimatum to work with us, and given the constraints of his own situation, he has cooperated. Iraq has been an enormous distraction from the festering problem of extremists in the border area of Pakistan.

    you're the debunking genius.I never said I knew what happened.But I know when I'm being deceived.You have to ask questions,and these questions are not being answered by the people who should know beforehand,let alone 8 years later.
    I ask a lot of questions of the conspiracy theorists, but don't get any answers, just crappy links to conspiracy websites.

    What kind of questions do you have that aren't being answered?

    By the by, here is how the official report plays out the initial collapse, essentially the same for both buildings based on my reading of the NIST report. Feel free to read the thing and correct this with a better understanding if you so choose.

    Airliner impacts building. Collision injects fire and initial fuel into an office environment filled with other fuel, such as plastic, paper, and furniture, in addition to literally knocking the thin coating of spray on insulation from the structural steel. Simultaineous fires start in multiple floors of the building in wide sections of those floors, in addition to weakening the structure.

    In the damaged sections, you have the remaining load bearing structure taking up the extra load from the portions that were destroyed from the collision.

    Add to this extra load stress per column (both inner and outer), additional lateral (sideways) stresses are placed from expanding trusses exposed to heat. With the additional load, and weakened by fire, the hottest columns start exhibiting "plasticity" and begin to sag, pulling on the connecting floor, and pulling the face of the building inwards at the floor/wall joints.

    Eventually, some part of the buildng gives way, and this instantly places more stress on the remaining structure, itself nearing limits of load/stress capacity. This results in a rather rapid collapse of nearby sections and simple physics do the rest.

    Did the structural steel melt? No. You don't have to even get close to melting point to get loss of strength. Medieval blacksmiths didn't have near the ability to melt iron or steel, but could get it hot enough to work with hammer and anvil into swords, armor, horseshoes, and all manner of things.
    Steel loses about 20% of its load bearing capacity at 300C, and some portions of the fires were hotter than that.
    Here's a good summation of 1 and 2, 7 happened slightly different, but still collapsed after a half-day's worth of uncontrolled fires.

    2. Why did NIST not consider a “controlled demolition” hypothesis with matching computer modeling and explanation as it did for the “pancake theory” hypothesis? A key critique of NIST’s work lies in the complete lack of analysis supporting a “progressive collapse” after the point of collapse initiation and the lack of consideration given to a controlled demolition hypothesis.

    NIST conducted an extremely thorough three-year investigation into what caused the WTC towers to collapse, as explained in NIST’s dedicated Web site, http://wtc.nist.gov. This included consideration of a number of hypotheses for the collapses of the towers.

    Some 200 technical experts—including about 85 career NIST experts and 125 leading experts from the private sector and academia—reviewed tens of thousands of do ents, interviewed more than 1,000 people, reviewed 7,000 segments of video footage and 7,000 photographs, analyzed 236 pieces of steel from the wreckage, performed laboratory tests and sophisticated computer simulations of the sequence of events that occurred from the moment the aircraft struck the towers until they began to collapse.

    Based on this comprehensive investigation, NIST concluded that the WTC towers collapsed because: (1) the impact of the planes severed and damaged support columns, dislodged fireproofing insulation coating the steel floor trusses and steel columns, and widely dispersed jet fuel over multiple floors; and (2) the subsequent unusually large jet-fuel ignited multi-floor fires (which reached temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees Celsius) significantly weakened the floors and columns with dislodged fireproofing to the point where floors sagged and pulled inward on the perimeter columns. This led to the inward bowing of the perimeter columns and failure of the south face of WTC 1 and the east face of WTC 2, initiating the collapse of each of the towers. Both photographic and video evidence—as well as accounts from the New York Police Department aviation unit during a half-hour period prior to collapse—support this sequence for each tower.

    NIST’s findings do not support the “pancake theory” of collapse, which is premised on a progressive failure of the floor systems in the WTC towers (the composite floor system—that connected the core columns and the perimeter columns—consisted of a grid of steel “trusses” integrated with a concrete slab; see diagram below). Instead, the NIST investigation showed conclusively that the failure of the inwardly bowed perimeter columns initiated collapse and that the occurrence of this inward bowing required the sagging floors to remain connected to the columns and pull the columns inwards. Thus, the floors did not fail progressively to cause a pancaking phenomenon.

    Diagram of Composite WTC Floor System

    NIST’s findings also do not support the “controlled demolition” theory since there is conclusive evidence that:

    the collapse was initiated in the impact and fire floors of the WTC towers and nowhere else, and;

    the time it took for the collapse to initiate (56 minutes for WTC 2 and 102 minutes for WTC 1) was dictated by (1) the extent of damage caused by the aircraft impact, and (2) the time it took for the fires to reach critical locations and weaken the structure to the point that the towers could not resist the tremendous energy released by the downward movement of the massive top section of the building at and above the fire and impact floors.

    Video evidence also showed unambiguously that the collapse progressed from the top to the bottom, and there was no evidence (collected by NIST, or by the New York Police Department, the Port Authority Police Department or the Fire Department of New York) of any blast or explosions in the region below the impact and fire floors as the top building sections (including and above the 98th floor in WTC 1 and the 82nd floor in WTC 2) began their downward movement upon collapse initiation.

    In summary, NIST found no corroborating evidence for alternative hypotheses suggesting that the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition using explosives planted prior to Sept. 11, 2001. NIST also did not find any evidence that missiles were fired at or hit the towers. Instead, photographs and videos from several angles clearly show that the collapse initiated at the fire and impact floors and that the collapse progressed from the initiating floors downward until the dust clouds obscured the view.

    The main thing that the government is at fault for in 9-11 is that there was probably enough collectively known by various field agents and others to have stopped the plot, IF those agents, and agencies had actually been coordinated and the agencies themselves took the threat a bit more seriously.

    A lot of people tried to cover their asses by claiming they didn't quite know enough to conclusively run things up the chain of command and get some more action.

    That is about it. The information was there and known in bits and pieces, but nobody really put 2 and 2 together to come up with 4 and act on it.

    There were no controlled demolitions, fake planes, lasers, missles, remote controlled jetliners, vast evil conspiracies, just a sad lack of coordination and 19 or 20 guys who really weren't afraid to kill and die in the process.

    Tragic? Yes.
    Preventable? Possibly.
    Directly orchestrated by the government? No.

    That is as far as it goes.

    go to youtube and type in "hidden from eyes" what about the cut shapes on the central beams? how can a terrorist on a plane with a boxcutter cut the steel beams at an angle?

    They can't.

    The steelworkers cleaning up the site after the collapse could and did. This is the source of all the pictures that cause this mistaken impression.

    This bit has been debunked already. I can provide links and youtube videos that show this.

    Next question?

    There you go.

    If you reaaaally want a youtube video or two, I can probably find one, but this should be sufficient.

    (edit)

    They have updated the link above since I last looked at it, and included youtube videos. No need to search.
