COOL NYC BUILDING COLLAPSE

[notBMW18]

That's so weird, it looked stable!

[DavidJCohen1]

This is my building that collapsed!

Thankfully no one was hurt.

I saw it happen live and can't believe I am watching it again.

Thanks for posting this.

[pureimaginationvideo]

@DavidJCohen1 I'm glad you weren't inside!

[zcb033100]

@pureimaginationvideo Was ur stuff in there?

[pureimaginationvideo]

@zcb033100 No, his camera equipment was all outside.  :)

[unreal3010]

I think you can still live in the other half.

[187781jason]

Nice, I just hate it when at the crutial point the camerman goes all to shit any we usually miss most of it. You my freind kept a steady hand, Nice one.

[pureimaginationvideo]

@187781jason Mike had a weird feeling something was going to happen. He has a good sense like that. He also was at the base of the WTC when the planes hit. He knew when he had enough and ran off with his footage. He's a lucky man!

[TheAudiTTfan]

woah, Awesome!! ;D OSCAR AWARD WINNER ANNOUNCED! :D

[Ps360Facepunch]

June 30th 2008 never forget

[nydamc69]

do people even realize y a building like this will collapse ? how about the tons of water the firefighters just droped in it

[LouisRandy]

@nydamc69 That isn't how it collapsed. If you look very carefully, when the hose hits the side of the window a tiny white stone will drop onto the truck that makes that clink sound. That weakened the building and they it gave way.

[LouisRandy]

@nydamc69 That isn't how it collapsed. If you look very carefully when the hose hits the window, a white brick will fall out and hit the truck making that clink sound. That weakened the structure and then it gave way.

[DFDalton1962]

Dilapidated New York City certainly is the nation's home of collapsing structures isn't it? Think of all the poor homeless rats, cockroaches, and bedbugs! It's been several months since a construction crane collapsed. Aren't they about due?

Seriously though, nice quality video and I'm glad no one was hurt. And no big loss - just an opportunity for another sorely-needed mosque.

[NinjaPutz]

wow, that is a NICE camera!

[Megablueforce]

This was on destroyed in seconds

[ronliu27]

it was crisp

[xXhighwolfXx]

lol tooo much water

[LilMissFi123x]

shouldnt of turned off the water

[bizzyfingers]

i loved that noise of it all falling apart

[britishwhizkid]

Look at all the dust they breathed in .. yuk

[ElevationLowJJ]

Should give sufficient evidence for what happened to the WTC.

[Martin958]

@ElevationLowJJ The WTC buildings were all supported with massive steel girders, this is just very old bricks and burnt out wooden beams for support.

[nydamc69]

very good video taping .

[pureimaginationvideo]

Mike thanks you! :)

[Coasterrider210]

ok its safe to go back inside guys *crash* ... or not

[Smiley6669]

WOW, must have surprised everyone, I've seen buildings burnt much worse still stand. They ladder truck just finished hosing. Glad no firefighters got hurt.

[nekocekoBiH]

That's gonna get you an Oscar!"

[pureimaginationvideo]

Nope, he won a few emmys though!

[nycsentinel]

Still alot of these structures in NYC

18th early 19th century OLTs

[shortfeild]

"Okay, fire's out everybody, it's safe to go back inside"

[jukingeo]

Ok, I think that was just a little to much water put into that top window there.

[gogetter690]

@jukingeo imagine the damage from that stream of water concentrated in one spot for so long. im sure it cut through the inside wall. lol at least the fire is out now.

[bu11com]

Whoops!

[superiorgreen]

Unreinforced brick structure.

[MetalSanke]

"Thats gonna get you an Oscar!" lol

[moviemakers989]

was there anyone in there when it collapsed??? i hope not!!!

[TheEngineerWilliams]

@moviemakers989  ... what do you think.

[pureimaginationvideo]

Even better was what "Destroyed In Seconds" did with my husband's video. I hope to post that soon when we get a copy of the show. :)

[WantToBeAmerican1]

@pureimaginationvideo lol my family is watching TV while im just youtube-ing and they happen to be watching destroyed in seconds

[pureimaginationvideo]

Oh really? Cool! We DVR'ed the episode when they aired it originally. He was really proud to see his clip on TV. :)

[supermario863]

lol watching buildings collaspe is awesome

[jasmar23]

yes indeed..lol

[malcolmmorin]

This is all I have to say... Whoa...

[Ted7864]

oh the horror. This was obviously controlled demo lol. Damn the government agents behind this. How many more NY buildings will they bring down before the Truthers catch them and save us from such tyranny hahaha

[mine4kipz]

The steel stairs are also collapse on a building!

[rekkapower]

water weighs a fucking lot. remember that. lol.

[bhkeroppi]

8.33 pounds per gallon. we gotta know that for the fire service D:

[zrasfi]

look this is small bulding ok and the world trade senter is big there big diffirintce and small building collapse and the big diffirent is the wtc collapsed

never mind you are right.

[poitertoip]

oh the world trade centre was enormous! it takes like ten minutes to walk around one tower!

[Anvilcjl]

Not true. I went there many times when I was in college. The actual footprint of the building was not very big. The plaza underneath was big, but not the tower itself.

[treehugs56]

the fire must of burnt out a support holding that wall, you can see it buckle

[KamakazieIdiot]

lol, whats with all this retarded 9/11 bullshit? theres a big difference between the collapsing face of a small building and a plane hitting a 110 story building and levelling it completely... twice over.

[DSM10471]

If only the simpletons who disgrace the memories of those lost on 9/11, with conspiracy theories, could watch this video, they would understand that fire can bring down a building rather efficiently. Great job.

[ScootleRoyale]

theres a world of difference between a 4 second partial collapse of a 5 story building that was on fire for an entire day and a 15 second total collapse a 110 story steel framed skyscraper that suffered a relatively modest fire for less than an hour on just a few of its floors, if anything this video supports the "conspiracy theories".

You debunkers r gonna have to come up with a better example than this i'm afraid.

[SQUIZZLER24]

are you seriously suggesting that an AEROPLANE hitting a building is a moderate fire?

come on, be sensible now.

[ScootleRoyale]

ive seen pretty much every video there is of the plane impacts and of the fires burning... the impact consumed most of the jet fuel, and the fires were dull orange, smokey, scattered and not very widespread. I dont believe they could have brought the towers down. Even if it could i doubt it would be symmetrical and in 15 seconds, look at this video, this building took 3-4 seconds to collapse and it was only 5 stories, the wtc towers were 110 stories!

[salemcripple]

"theres a world of difference between a 4 second partial collapse of a 5 story building that was on fire for an entire day and a 15 second total collapse a 110 story steel framed skyscraper that suffered a relatively modest fire for less than an hour on just a few of its floors"

No i'm sorry there isn't. And by the way, it wasn't just the fire, but the impact itself that brought down the towers. If you understood anything at all about how the towers were built, you'd know this.

[ScootleRoyale]

I do know how the towers were constructed... i also know that high school physics can disprove the official story

watch?v=xG2y50Wyys4

this video proves that the north tower accelerated downwards at a CONSTANT rate for the first few seconds, meaning there was no deceleration from each floor impact ... which is physically impossible.

[salemcripple]

Ok then. How were the towers constructed? That is to say what about their design was so radically different than conventional tall buildings? The fact still stands, if you damage or remove any key structural component of a building, It's GOING to collapse (even if only partially) By the way, nothing is physically impossible, only very improbable.

[modernclics]

I suppose this 5 story building didn't have a steel core in the middle to support the structure like Twin Towers had.

Plus fire can't melt steel and there was pools molten metal weeks after the attack.

Plus hundreds of witnesses heard explosions on the basements.

Plus WTC7 was never hitted by a plane and collapsed anyway.

Plus physicians found thermate on the remainings: watch?v=Lrj22lX8Bdo

Lot of things need to be answered here.

[salemcripple]

Fire can't melt steel? Are you serious? Have you ever thrown a piece of steel into a camp fire? Even at those low low temps it most deff. can melt it at least partially. Besides it doesn't have to melt, in order for steel to lose it's structural rigidity. It only has to get hot, in order to loose just enough for it not to be able to hold the load any longer. And people THINK they see, and hear allot of things when they're panicked.

[salemcripple]

pt2. That doesn't mean they actually happened. I have yet to see shred one of PROOF that thermite, or molten pools of metal actually existed (at ground zero) other than crackpot theorys. Face it, There is no "secret cover up", the government isn't out to take over the world, no one is out to get you!

[modernclics]

You can see people standing alive in the same place where the plane hitted the towers, there are official pictures and videos of it. How could they support more than 1100 Cº?

I don't know you but I can't support above 50 Cº :D

[salemcripple]

Those people couldn't have made there way after the impact? And air is an amazing insulator, a person can easily stand next to a 1000 degree fire and not be harmed in the least. Ever stand next to a fire place? Keep in mind it wasn't only the fire, but the impact itself that brought the towers down. A fully loaded, fully fueled Boeing 767 traveling at 560+ mph, caries ALLOT of force and momentum. The forces exerted on the tower's structure were immense. Something they were never designed for.

[modernclics]

They made a deep research into 9/11 and realised that logic and common sens

can't explain what the official report says.

watch?v=WOLmP-WPMbg

[leathertanner]

Oh yeah? That's not what the engineers who designed it said.

[salemcripple]

The vid you presented is impressive! I can't argue with his math, or with his understanding of physics. But i can argue with the evidence he started out with (video). Now if they had an actual accelerometer (for what reason i have no idea) on the roof, it would be more believable. The sheer mass of the top of the building coming down on top of them, may be "masking" the deceleration from video. In other words, i might be so slight, that it wont show up on video.

[salemcripple]

By the way, please excuse me for being an asshole in my previous comments. I was in a bad mood anyway. now that i am calmed down I am truly impressed with the vid you presented, It's the most compelling evidence for the controlled demo theory i've seen. As a matter of fact, the ONLY compelling evidence i've seen, but my comment about video evidence being flawed at best still stands.

[MississaugaKid]

The fire was 100% out, But the FDNY insisted on spraying it heavily with water.

[salemcripple]

to prevent "flair ups" caused by still hot embers left from the fire.

[spikeybeast28]

did the collapse put the fire out?

[pureimaginationvideo]

The fire was already pretty much contained.

[ralphrasham1]

In descirption: "Although the collapse was a surprise, no one was hurt."

Well Hell yeah no one was hurt, after 9/11 if someone sees dust drop fro mthere ceiling they jumping out the window, lol

[pureimaginationvideo]

Um, this happened like FOUR years BEFORE 9/11! So before you post something wrong, read the rest of the info. No one was hurt because FDNY is the bravest!

[mccainorobama]

I think it collapsed because of the fire and because of the water from the firefighters. That water weighs a lot.

[aliciaanddavo]

Right on mccainorobama. One master stream will put 4 tons of water in a building every minute.

[11111110]

It fell straight down, like a demolition! I didn't see any flames either, IT MUST HAVE BEEN A CONTROLLED DEMOLITION!

[pureimaginationvideo]

It was a fire that was going on all day. This was the end of the fire and I guess the building couldn't take anymore.

[GIGIDIEGIGIDIE]

No, it was ManBearPig! Im cereal!

[pureimaginationvideo]

The fire was burning all day. FDNY had just announced the fire under control right before the collapse. They were still spraying water into the building. Even if you can't see flames, the building was still burning from the inside. Seconds before I started rolling video, we all heard the inner-floors of the building giving way, crashing down. At that point, the building was not stable - it was just a shell. This was NOT a controlled demolition.

[ktrkhoustonfan]

wow, really good video. did you hear the firefighter say thats going to earn you an Oscar? Good job to the firelighters who stayed calm.

[pureimaginationvideo]

He should have meant, "That's going to earn you an Emmy!" :)

[JBurk2322]

wow!!! scary stuff

[ukfireandrescue]

wow

[pureimaginationvideo]

See the FDNY in the front? He didn't even flinch!

[ladder06]

Holy cow.
