Can gravity and fire really do that?

When the top of the towers are 1000 feet, add the energy imparted by the collapsing floors, and 500 feet is not all that big of a distance for fragments to be projected. Any fragments released before 500 feet of tower had collapsed would be falling more vertical than horizontal to reach that distance. I am not a physics expert, but I think it could be obtained.

Debunking the 9/11 Myths: Special Report
The following content is from an in-depth investigation of the conspiracy theories surround the attacks of 9/11, which was published in the March 2005 issue of Popular Mechanics. That cover story was expanded and published in August 2006 as a book titled Debunking 9/11 Myths.

Preface: The Internet allows ignorance to blossom as it has for the 9/11 Truth movement. To the naive their arguments can seem compelling but when you actually analyze their claims with hard science and facts, they completely fall apart. I was not only trained in computer information systems but also architecture. This is why absolutely nothing about any of the building collapses looked suspicious to me. I have nothing but contempt for the "truthers" who push propaganda on the naive. Their claims are just ignorant: "the WTC fires were not hot enough to melt steel" (they didn't have to be, just hot enough to weaken it's load bearing ability); "WTC 7 fell at free fall speed" (it didn't - it fell 40% slower); "WTC 7 was a controlled demolition" (zero evidence to support this); "Aircraft hitting buildings should leave a cartoon cutout" (hollow aluminum aircraft hitting high-strength, load-bearing perimeter steel columns will leave no such shape) and on and on. I literally laughed out loud the first time I saw "Loose Change" and that idiot Dylan Avery claimed pressure releases from the weight of the WTC towers collapsing on themselves were a controlled demolition. Only someone absolutely ignorant of structural design and engineering would believe these ridiculous claims. Unfortunately this appears to be a significant number of people which compelled me to write this. I give the utmost praise to those fighting this insanity and the cult like movement that is "9/11 Truth". Without their hard work knocking down one conspiratorial claim after the next this whole situation could be much worse. What I have done here is compile a simple reference debunking the 9/11 Conspiracy Theories. Please share the real truth.

I'm not a physics expert either. I just find it hard to believe that the buildings fell to the the path of most resistance.

The 9/11 commission is saying it was an inward collapse when you can clearly see the center core structure being ejected horizontally, uniformally floor by floor.

I don't think it's possible to for a structure to completely collapse by damaging the structure above it. The further away from earth you go, the less the gravity of earth is pulling and the less amount of material above you, the less force you have pushing down on you.

If a structure could collapse from supporting the load above it, it could not of been built.

And another thing that really bugs me is how jet fuel can not melt iron, but there was pools of molten iron at the base of towers. So how did it get there?

For the longest time I kept a blind eye and a deaf ear to this subject. Heck, I punched a guy in the face for a saying that G.W. was a sadistic homicidal baby killer that had the nerve to read to school children as cover for his crimes :mad: . I could not and would not except crack pot story of how our people were responsible.

I talked to a retired Major who turned me on to a lot of information. Some of it was total non-sense and then some of it presented some pretty good questions and concerns. I always knew we took the plane over PA, and I didn't have a problem with that, because it had to be done.
But I fear a more divisive group is responsible for the 9/11 attacks now and after hearing Kissenger's speech(plan) at the Bill meetings it all makes sense.

I could be wrong, but I (We) will never know. Heck, what happen to J.F.K.? Nobody knows because Presidents keep sealing the official records.

It's not paranoia if it's really happening.

Dabu,

Do you really think that a student pilot can pinpoint the spot in a 110 story building where an explosive charge has been placed, and put an airliner on that spot?

Do you really believe that out of scores of people required to pull off what you're suggesting, no one has come forward to claim their million dollar book deal?

Now I hear there's going to be a counter protest in DC on 9/11. Bikers are going to harass the muslims.

Great opportunity for some thing bad to happen. And more laws to get passed for "safety"
