    There was a man on flight 175 who was on the phone with his dad when the plane crashed into the south tower. The man’s dad was watching the tv and saw Flight 175 crash into the south tower right as the phone call with his son went dead. So unbelievably sad. The man had told his dad he knew the hijackers' intended to crash the plane into a building - he said possibly in Chicago. Right as the phone went dead the dad heard his son yell “oh god, oh god” and a woman scream in the background. This was most likely right when plane jerked left to turn into the building.

    It's beyond stupid to think that it was explosives. Even if airplanes didn't fly into the buildings the explosives upon impact would have almost certainly triggered any secondary detonations and even if they were set in such a way not to do that, the raging inferno, which probably occupied 20 floors, at least, would have triggered the explosions prior to detonation.
    So you have to believe that planes didn't go into the buildings, or they hit the buildings in such a perfect way not to trigger any of the remaining explosive devices and you have to believe that none of the explosive devices went off prematurely in a raging inferno until detonation. And you also have to believe that those who installed these so-called devices would have had to know exactly where to install them in such a way that, not one but two buildings would hold their structural integrity and not collapse partially until the detonation was ready. And if thats not enough, you have to do it without anyone noticing, and trigger them at a safe distance, and leave no evidence.
    I mean to believe that is a herculean effort in mental gymnastics.

    To answer any claim of explosives used:
    The FACT of video shows an INTACT upper section (of each tower) falling down upon the rest of the building below each respective impact zone. Video CLEARLY shows the east perimeter columns of the south tower bowing inward as the tower begins to collapse. Video also CLEARLY shows the north tower's antenna falling downward before the outside walls.
    To put it succinctly, each tower collapsed in exact accordance with its respective airplane and fire damage.
    Explosives? They would have had to be planted on EVERY floor, and ONLY the explosives on the specific floor (AND location on the floor) would have to have been detonated to produce video-captured bldg. failure that EXACTLY matched airplane-impact damage.
    Further, said explosives on impact floors would have had to survive blistering fires for an hour or an hour and a half without prematurely detonating, PLUS not having been displaced from their secret locations by 450-550mph airplane impacts.
    Claims of explosives are SO stupid and outright childish.

      I would agree with everything you said. However, I think you would be interested to know that the antenna on the North Tower did not fall before the exterior walls. That is just an illusion seen in video of the collapse taken from the north. When viewed in video taken from the west, it can be seen that the antenna remained in place on the collapsing top block of the building and rotated toward the south along with it.

      No there not. A tin plane is not going through those towers like mush . Steal iron beams. Come on . Look at the videos of those planes going threw the buildings like mush . Jello. The only way that would happen. One of two ways the explosion happened before the plane hits the tower. Or those floors where the plane hit. Had a little help with some months of work of planting explosives in the walls next to those beams .or the beams where weakened by dislodge ing them in that area where the planes hit. Planes??. This would mean there was i inside job going on. It was said a demolition company had rented out one or 2 floors in the towers. Months ahead of time. As far as planes all the networks real time that day at the time of the explosions showed no planes as it was happening. It wasnt untill a few hrs later where there was footage of that . And believe me a few of those stations had the right angle where you would be able to see a plane comeing in. Remember the first tower video came a few minutes after it happen there was only one video of that on the street with those workers out there on the sewer holes looking up you heard what sounded like a fighter jet. The sound certainly wasnt from a comercial jet. But if it was a small jet fighter it was very fast . The commercial plane travels much slower there for you would have been able to spot it in that video real time . Alls was there was an explosion. Remember some people seen a small jet flying that low some people said no plane just an explosion. So what im saying is . The planes didnt come tell the networks could fix them in the videos. Remember they where not in the networks cameras at real time. Just explosions. And yes they wanted anybody with videos to turn the copies in they paid these people for it. Just look at some of those videos there ridiculous. Especially the south tower being hit and the plane going threw the building like mush there was not a wing out on the ground and that would be the first thing to come off at impact. Plus flying those big 727 at 400 to 500 miles an hr that low they would lose control way befor they hit there mark. Its been said by pilots that fly those things say the wing came off at that speed and that low long before the plane would hit and im pretty shure they are experts at it. All in all that day was tragic for all of us as a nation that where a live at that time. And it should have never ever happened with the military that we had. It tramatized us all . And we will never be the same R.I.P for those that died on that day and months and yrs that help out that day and the other months in rescueing and cleaning up the city. Thats what really matters here. Dosnt it. We all have deffrent theroys of how and why it happened. But im still prowd to be an American. And we need to work together threw all this it affects every thing. We need to bring back our America of being great. With all of our people working to gether each and ever race that lives in america. Work together as Americans as one. 🇺🇸

    It's impossible to underestimate the level of pure horror the poor people in the South Tower caught above the impact zone experienced in their final seconds before death. Because the building buckled from the impact zone on the southeast side of the structure, everything above the 77th floor fell into / towards that cavity. A cavity that was likely only made larger from several other individual floors just above the impact zone collapsing into it during the hour WTC2 stood on fire after the plane crash. So anybody caught in the top 20 or so floors who couldn't find the exit through stairwell A in the flames, smoke and chaos would have fallen within the still in tact upper part of building as if they were being dropped out of the sky. They would NOT have been instantly crushed like people below the impact point who were still in the building. They instead would have experienced several seconds of the collapse as they came down hundreds of feet at an angle into thicker smoke and potentially flames. Only after the top part of the skyscraper fell far enough to impact with the lower floors would they have been crushed to death. Truly horrific!

  • @spicyzeros2160
    @spicyzeros2160 10 місяців тому +25

    This can be demonstrated with a simple game of Jenga. The reason why the south tower collapsed on its side is because (as you said) the airplane struck the skyscraper more near the side at an angle rather than directly towards the center (as with the case with the north tower) so the center of mass of the south tower shifted away from the core and towards the side where the impact zone was at.
    If you want to see this for yourself then just get out the Jenga blocks, build the jenga tower, and pull out some blocks until you see the jenga tower collapse as the center of mass shifts away from the core of the jenga tower and towards a side of the jenga structure. This is how the south tower collapsed and it's no mystery to why it collapsed this way. It's just simple physics that can be easily demonstrated with a simple game of Jenga. Occam's razor would tell you that the south tower collapsed because the fires weakened the integrity of the tower and so the shift of the center of mass caused the upper half of the tower to lose its balance which sealed the fate of the south tower.

    Leslie Robertson - the structural architect who designed the tube frame of the twin towers - said they would have collapsed immediately if he had not put the hat truss on top. He was not sure how long they could withstand the fire but the point was to avoid immediate collapse to give time for evacuation and fire fighting. In this way his design succeeded because 99% of the people below impact zones evacuated (13-15K individuals) before collapse. Many in the South Tower evacuated before impact after the North Tower was hit. I remember everyone being surprised how few people died having expected it would be tens of thousands.

      Big thing too IIRC is that while the Towers were designed somewhat with a plane crash in mind, it was assuming a relatively lower-fueled plane that was not going max speed into them.
      Also, worth mentioning that after the '93 bombing, they revamped the fire and evacuation drills for the complex. A lot of workers also started keeping their own emergency kits with their desks after '93 as well. Survivors credited the drills and the kits to contributing to how well they managed to evacuate on 9/11.

We all piled in and the principal announced about the attacks, everyone was just silent. Someone shouted out what does this mean? The principal was silent for a moment and regained his composer and said, the world has changed. New York has been attacked and thousands of our Irish cousins are now being murdered by terrorists. You all go home and pray for our long distant Irish brothers and sisters. You all have the rest of the week off. I walked home with friends and every single house we walked past, every house was playing the same channel of the towers burning. I seen a old lady out in her garden crying hysterically.

And thankfully you also state how NYPD copters saw the Tower swaying and reported it to their Command. Unfortunately they had different radios than we did.

    Question that someone could answer? The towers were designed to be hit by a 707 plane at the time. Although the 767 was larger - could the towers have withstood a 707 hitting them or were they overly optimistic? Obviously these planes flew a a high rate of speed, not the slower speeds of if the were landing lost in fog. Also how much concrete was surrounding the core? I know they used a lot of Gypsum around the stairwells - but it did have concrete? Can any other building survive what happened to the twin towers?

    • @tommysamojlowitsch7028
      @tommysamojlowitsch7028 10 місяців тому +3

      That’s an interesting question from what I understand is when the 707 the fuel on board was not considered in the design because the computers to do the calculations didn’t have the computing power to do it. Also the towers were such a unique tube structure design. Maybe if it had a concrete core and the floors weren’t truss base the building could have survived. I doubt any structure like the wtc could have survived such an impact. When looking at the stairwells there wasn’t any concrete walls just dry wall and installation. Engineering have improved there designs so much since this incident while a tragedy had to happen for changes to be made. It shows there’s some light from that horrible day.

    if you look at the North Tower's collapse, you actually notice that it follows the same kind of concept as the South Tower's collapse. When the structure buckled and failed, it leaned about 15 degrees North, towards the spot where it was hit. Of course, because American Airlines 11 hit the central part of the North Tower, it did not twist that much (though it still slightly did). You see this if you watch footage from the South side - you can see the antenna bob from side to side before it gets covered by dust and debris. Pretty cool stuff.

Does anyone have a diagram or cutaway of the core design? I know a lot of it was sort of classified until the theorist Steven Jones from BYU got it released in 2007, but there is still not a lot of info. I know the stairwells were covered in Gypsum. So sad that so many perished and so that these iconic buildings are gone forever.

If you are interested, the NIST report clarifies what type of concrete was used for various applications.

Years ago, I helped to compile reports on 911 calls during September 11th for upcoming documentaries that were eventually released, but I never came across any call where people were reporting on the conditions of the building's floors beneath them. Every single one were of panic and there were almost no pertinent details conveyed about the conditions of the building - every one calling had high distress levels because of fire and smoke and sadly most were stating that they thought they were going to die. The most I ever found was only people reporting that emergency stairwells were impassible, but never anything reported in this video. Can anyone help with this?

    Finally... someone who understands dynamics. Most truthers (including physics teacher David Chandler) are puzzled as to why the top block of the South Tower didn't continue to rotate and fall to the street below. They don't understand that the building had too much inertia and too little strength to do that. Your diagrams accurately show that the top block rotated about its center of mass as it descended straight down onto the bottom block. In the Cynthia Weil video, you can even see the bottom block deflect about six feet to the west as the top block rotated and sheared away from it at the floors where the collapse initiated.

I also think that's why flight 175 went a lot lower because the terrorists had different opinions and where to strike for maximum damage and that the terrorists on flight 175 may have even viewed flight 11 as somewhat of a failure as the tower was still standing.

    It collapsed to the ground in 10 seconds. They both did. WTC 7 collapsed to ground in 6 seconds. The only way these collapses could happen that rapidly is if there was no resistance to the upper levels collapse (of 1 & 2). It is not possible for the upper 1/8 of the structures to overwhelm the lower undamaged 7/8 of the structure.
    In reality with with wtc2, that uppser section should have met resistance and did more of a slide off the remaining structure.
    I'll argue this point til my death.

    When the South Tower started tilting how did the tower blow up? Was it a controlled demolition?

      It did not "blow up". The tilt was caused by lack of support from missing colums and the downward bowing of horizontal beams supporting the slab floors. When the horizontal beams bowed sufficiently, they separated from the perimeter walls. This shifted the load of everything above the point of impact to already weeked columns. Without lateral stability from the beams, the colums on the one side started to buckle. Once that happened, nothing could stop the collapse. There was NO explosion despite what the conspiracy theorists think. Its simple physics.

    On September 10, 2001, then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld disclosed that his department was unable to account for roughly $2.3 trillion worth of transactions. The next day, the U.S. sustained the terrorist attacks that changed the world, and this startling revelation was forgotten.

      Unaccounted for. Correct. He didn't say missing. Clearly you don't know what he was meant.

      What Rumsfeld actually said was, "we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions." He meant that the many computer systems in the Pentagon were incompatible and could not communicate between departments... a situation that has long-since been addressed.
