RE: 9/11 Truth: The Next Generation (with Richard Gage)
As much as I like a conspiracy, sadly, this one is just wrong. You are talking about 1000's of people on the inside with knowledge of that happened, and keeping it a secret. It is simply impossible.
As for the engineering, I have a degree in structural engineering, and what happened to the towers is a very understood phenomena. The steel beams do not need to melt, they only need to be heated to allow flexing. When flexing, they loss a huge % of their strength.
Since jet fuel burns over 1000 degrees F (and it is thought the the temp inside the world trade centers was over 1200), the strengths was greatly weakened. Not to mention that a huge chunk of the building was simply destroyed from impact.
Once they failed, they did not fall into their foot print.
These are just some of the photos from the days after. As you can clearly see, the towers did damage to several buildings in the area.
Keep your skepticism, and don't believe anything until you have strong evidence. But I am sorry, this one is just wrong. I am fully aware of the flack I will get from this post, but that is fine. I enjoy a good discussion.
There is no way story after story well removed from the impact site and fires that followed could be so compromised. Besides that we have a recording of a now dead firefighter calling in that he could fight the fires with a few hoses. Beyond that - blds 1 & 2 did not merely collapse - they were PULVERIZED - reduced to dust. The energy required for that goes way beyond the fuel loading and gravitational potential energy
