It's a building, and it didn't collapse until well after the second plane hit. Considering that it fell apart in giant boulder sized clumps that probably weighed tonnes or close to it, it's not surprising the pieces had extremely limited ballistic paths. Wind resistance of any kind on a multi-tonne chunk of rock would kill flight speed. I would be much more surprised if the building fell over rather than collapsing.

Cacto -

I agree with you. There is a theory that a bunch of (alleged) mechanical & building engineers have cobbled together which holds that we should be suspicious that the structural failures which initiated the collapse of each building occurred more or less "simultaneously" (allowing the buildings to collapse straight down rather than at least a portion of the buildings toppling over) and that the odds against that are too high. That it looked too much like a planned demolition to not be one. Eh.

The also claim that puffs of debris being ejected from upper story windows of WTC7 in the instant or two before its collapse becomes apparent externally indicate explosive charges were used. It's all garbage, but interesting to play with. They only have to look at the Sampoon shopping center disaster, though, to see that a large building can simply collapse in on itself, even without a fire.

a pack of innuendo, rumor and outright lies. Most of those things have been dealt with. They abuse the stock information, using the yearly, not seasonal averages for put, and they don't bother to check and see how those airlines had been covered in the news. This is no different than UFO alien people, who make their assumption and then gather facts that seem to prove it based upon their preconceived expectation.

The most heinous parts, if you ask me, is the abuse of the fact that the WTC was used on the covers of those reports with the crosshairs. I'd bet dimes to donuts that I don't even have to tell anyone why they were used there pre-9/11. You already know.

Because we had already suffered the first major foreign attack on American soil... at the world trade center in 1993. Is it a coincidence that they'd associate the WTC with terrorism? These jerks don't want to mention that, though, because they are trying to make it look like what's there is based on the people who printed it knowing what was going to happen.

I really, deeply feel sorry for people who can so easily go in for this stuff the way the folks we see on TV and the Internet do. How miserable and frightened must they live, believing such depressing, terrifying things. Let them live in their little hell of being afraid the black helicopters are coming for them.

I don't care that the buildings fell down "too straight" - I'll just accept that gravity works.

I remember watching this show, and that show said that first building had an intact inner column for short time, so outer walls fell first. I guess it kept building from tipping over while falling down. Second one was opposite, with inner supports falling first, helping it fall straight down by imploding.
