the building in your video did not collapse because of fire. the point is devices were used in key locations to weaken the supports and initiate a symmetrical collapse, just as with any other controlled demolition.

give an example where fire has caused a building to collapse on itself (without any kind of CD) completely and symmetrically and you would have an argument.

The guy is being sarcastic gyroscope Nov 2014 #6

Yup, he's trying to be sacastic William Seger Nov 2014 #7

It's a valid comparison. gyroscope Nov 2014 #8

The comparison is ludicrous William Seger Nov 2014 #9

Bad example gyroscope Nov 2014 #10

"symmetrically" lol .... tell me, why would there be an asymmetry .... rewinn Dec 2014 #41

Got proof? OBenario Nov 2015 #59

William, do you also believe..... wildbilln864 Nov 2014 #11

I believe Bazant's conclusion William Seger Nov 2014 #13

Haha Bazant is an idiot gyroscope Nov 2014 #15

Bullshit William Seger Nov 2014 #20

No, as that paper explains repeatedly, calculations of the real life physical process were not done. eomer Nov 2014 #21

I don't think I agree with your assessment. AZCat Nov 2014 #23

You have never understood Bazant's argument William Seger Nov 2014 #24

Or else you have never understood it. eomer Nov 2014 #25

That makes no sense cpwm17 Nov 2014 #26

collapse was inevitable!? wildbilln864 Nov 2014 #32

Great response. zappaman Nov 2014 #33

That's exactly how the professional building community feels about the "truthers". AZCat Nov 2014 #36

Ha!!! GGJohn Jan 2015 #44

Yes, if even one floor collapsed, total collapse was inevitable William Seger Nov 2014 #34

your every post is nonsense lately! wildbilln864 Nov 2014 #38

Ha!! Good catch. GGJohn Jan 2015 #45

"Yes, if even one floor collapsed, total collapse was inevitable" wildbilln864 Jan 2015 #47

Wow, what a well thought out, educated response. GGJohn Jan 2015 #43

it's just as educated as "collapse was inevitable"! wildbilln864 Jan 2015 #46

Nope, that proves what happens with bad guesses William Seger Jan 2015 #49

and a kick! n/t wildbilln864 Mar 2015 #55

and remember that as the collapses proceeded down the structure wildbilln864 May 2015 #56

Great video! Thanks n/t OBenario Nov 2015 #58
