News Reporter's First Impressions of the WTC Collapse

[TheRStard]

I can tell you this from my point of view, and take it or leave it. The Twin towers, was huge towers, their fragments, and steel supplies weighted over thousands of tonnes, - Now, have all that frequently collapse in Less than 12 seconds. Think about it. 12 seconds, coming rumbling down ontop of itself, the street and other buildings. Now that would do some damage aye? - It was a weakening explosion from the Jet fuel that brought them down, not bombs, not thermite, nothing. This is my OPINION.

[carlose0318]

if u ask me the only obvious demolition is wtc 7...as for the others i can't speak with much confidence as i am no engineer.

[muzicmaker2001]

@maureenOWW

I think you have your facts a little off. The WTC building manager actually stated the Towers could sustain multiple impacts of jet liners.

watch?v=64W8bzXfGCA

And the plane impact does not explain WTC7's collapse. No plane impact.

[paddjo]

Most of you are morons. The steel supports in the top gave out which brought it down, thus causing more and more weight to pile upon the towers which brought it down. NOT COMPLICATED!

[muzicmaker2001]

@paddjo

These can't be the morons you are refering to?

1,300+ Engineers and Architects

[megalordcartman]

@maureenOWW Sorry, who do you think you are? The architects say, they constructed the building against airplane crashes. ( /watch?v=Ri471QSMPGY ) There was an accident with a bomber and the Empire State building, so they knew about the danger. Also you could know that cerosin can't melt steel. BUT ther WAS molten steel. It came obviously out the building. Explane me now, what "high rise fires" and "an airliner" wich WASN'T full of fue!! "travelling at 500mph" can do this.

[dobplee]

i wonder from the american media .  they make muslims are responsable about that while ther were 3000 jewish didnt go to the towers in that day. and after that the usa army take iraq and agfanistan for ther oil , what amazing act . what aliers

[apoplexy1974]

i personally think this was a test...... the test being..... the american government did it.... their report contradicts itself insanely all the time and the fact nearly everyone knows in their heart it was them and the people have done nothing really to stop them doing anything further to us..... no uproar.... no revolution because of fear means the result of the test is this,............. they have us by the balls and can continue in their bid for world domination.... good luck everyone

[paddjo]

@apoplexy1974 Don't like our country? LEAVE!

For one our government, no matter how corrupt, wouldn't murder thousands just for oil. Think about it: It would cost millions and millions of dollars. Not worth the little the oil might bring in. See the problem?

[apoplexy1974]

i would just like to ask the american government a question........

do you actually think your conclusions will wash with us who know even a little bit about physics?

[ishotbooth]

I've done plenty of my own research on all types of documentaries, from east to west: from the wtc architect to osama bin laden to the roots of islam, and watched just about every piece of footage from nyc on 9/11, and it's just pitifully sad that no one on youtube can pontificate any even fairly intelligent thoughts about this or really fully appreciate such a mean scene of chaotic disaster. There is just NO WAY IN HELL THIS WAS ANYBODY'S CONSPIRACY but Al Qaeda's!

[apoplexy1974]

@ishotbooth ... from what you have said it sounds like you have done no research at all

[ccg1171]

Give it a break, if you listen there just speculating, using it as an example..Give the government did it shit a rest already..........

[TYX91101]

I could see perhaps one plane getting through under these preposterous circumstances - novice pilots with no air time in commercial jets, commandeering aircraft with picnic utensils, finding their targets without difficulty from hundreds of miles away, with absolutely no interference from the United States military, including one strike on Washington D.C. at the Pentagon no less. But no three.

[muzicmaker2001]

WTC7?

[Dallascaper]

I'm sure some people get excited thinking that they've uncovered some kind of evil plot by the government. But the sad reality is that the towers were never designed to withstand the impact of a full-size jet traveling at maximum velocity loaded with jet fuel. As a person who is naturally skeptical of the government, I've seen dozens of conspiracy videos on this site, but have yet to see a shred of "evidence" that is not easily explained by a basic understanding of engineering and physics.

[mrcarlos15]

Alright, Frank De Martini was the construction manager of the World Trade Centers. He is quoted as saying, "the building probably could sustain multiple impacts of jetliners". There was a skyscraper in Madrid that was on fire for 20 consecutive hours, it was incomplete and it did not fall. The Empire State Building was hit by a WW2 era bomber, it did not collapse. There is so much evidence out there...OPEN your eyes.

[Dallascaper]

Frank De Martini was speculating - unfortunately, terrorists proved him wrong. Popular Science once speculated that the Titanic was "virtually unsinkable" - I guess you will now tell me that the ship never sank just because somebody said it could not happen. And comparing a B-25 plane, lost in the fog, to a 767 is absurd. Sorry, you fail.

[seeknthetruth]

Terrorists?  LMAO!!! I can't believe there are some people still out there that actually believe terrorists did this!!

[wsee]

@seeknthetruth fucking braindead morons...

input:american idol, dancing with the stars, video games, their sports teams, mainstream 'news', the current 'education' system...

obviously, they were made that way...

by design...

keep on pluggin'...

[mrcarlos15]

You're talking about a near 100,000 lb difference between the two planes, the heavier is the B-52. Popular science would tell you steel-structured buildings don't collapse. Science would tell you that even if the top 20 floors did collapse, another 80 or so undamaged floors would eventually stop the collapse. These buildings came down at free fall speed, 9-10 seconds. That's as if it had nothing to stop it from collapsing...like give me a break.

[Dallascaper]

mrcarlos15, what do you mean that I am talking about a B-52 - I never said anything about a B-52, an aircraft that entered service in the 1950's.

[NationalPro]

"The WHOLE thing has collapsed!"

"The whole side has collapsed?"

"NO! The WHOLE building has collapsed!"

[CollinsHill09]

That was the odd thing about the collapse is how the reporters on TV didn't realize immediately that the whole thing collapsed. Some thought it was an explosion or just a portion fell off!

[radio187]

I'm not a WTC conspiracy theorist, but I wouldn't rule out planted explosive charges. Now, I have a very hard time believing that the US gov't would do this just to plunge the nation into even deeper recession and cause billions in losses. But considering the found evidence of terrorists filming the WTC, I'd say they looked at all possibilities. Hell, they tried it once before.

[NsOakland6]

look a little deeper your eyes are almost open. Hint: Look for the HUGE conflicts of interest and personal gains, strategic foreign gains, and new laws/powers and new bureaucracies to enforce use these laws. And type in Operation Northwoods here on youtube; declassified operation from the 50's/60's that will drop your jaw to say the least.

[Superhappeefun]

After reading your comment, I found the document for Operation Northwoods. Yes, it did make my jaw drop. It was unbelievable, disgusting actually. This all happened when I was relatively young but now I'm going to do some digging of my own.

[theshredda]

The 'men behind the curtain' actually cashed in through this disaster. They don't care about your country, they don't care about other people. They only care about themselves and their family. I really hope you know who i'm talking about here because I'm not naming names

[muzicmaker2001]

Big problems with the WTCs: Witness accounts of pre-collpase explosions, near free fall collapse, pulverized concrete to dust, cars on fire and over-turned at ground zero, 600,000 lb WTC steel thrown 400 ft, massive steel bent and melted. All this from a jet impact and jet fuel?? Wow? Forget demo jobs. Just saturate a building with jet fuel, light it and watch it crumble in secs. I really don't understand how anyone can believe this at least without some doubt??

[muzicmaker2001]

From FEMA:"The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time. Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation, and analyses are needed to resolve this issue."

[iamthejake2000]

sorry, i meant to click reply and clicked spam. anyway, that indicated nothing but that it hasn't been researched yet. "unknown AT THIS TIME". "FURTHER research, investigation, and analyses are needed". so what's your point?

[muzicmaker2001]

"so what's your point?" This. How are you so sure when FEMA isn't? Plain and simple.

[iamthejake2000]

i never claimed to be an expert, this is what is logical, and this is what i've read. fema simply hadn't spent enough time investigating the collapse of 7 to make an official statement on it.

[iamthejake2000]

not to mention the video shows the south side is engulfed in smoke, the south side is mostly obscured by the angle as well as smoke.

[muzicmaker2001]

Smoke doesn't cause a 64 story building to totally collapse. It's funny how ppl point to the jet impact/jet fuel when talking about the Tower's collapses, but when it comes to WTC7, it was just fire (and the skycraper???).Please view the collateral damage sustained by WTCs 3,4,5,6. They were positioned right below the Towers but magically none collapsed?? Now, is it logical that WTC7, which was 300 ft away from the Towers collasped?

[iamthejake2000]

first off, it was 47 stories, not 64. AND i ALREADY said that 1 and 2 had planes crash into them, 7 had a skyscraper crash into it. AND 3, 4, 5, and 6 were MUCH different proportions, MUCH lesser gravity loads, AND genius, 3 collapsed on 9/11, as it was 22 stories and directly next to tower 1.

[muzicmaker2001]

Oops. 64 was a typo. WTC 3,4,5,6. None of these buildings totally collapsed while WTC7 collapsed in seconds? Hmmmm? It doesn't take a genius to figure out something is wrong with this picture. Democrat or whatever, you need to wake up soon.

[muzicmaker2001]

2.The friction/heat shold be proportional to the mass (or force) acting upon it. Why were the temps observed relatively the same for all three buildings with big differences in height and mass?

[iamthejake2000]

1. there should be more friction on the lower pieces of the towers during collapse as the force is greater due to growing mass and velocity of the falling sections. 2. i haven't heard that wasn't MORE molten metal in the larger towers' debris, there well could have been due to their greater masses, while molten metal still could be found in the rubble of tower 7. although i haven't heard of molten metal beneath 7 anyway.

[muzicmaker2001]

You can't really believe that heat like that (1220°F) just can be limited to the basements if it was transfered by friction for these massive structures?

[iamthejake2000]

i didn't say that. the heat was different at different point, we know people were able to walk on the rubble shortly after the collapse, but there was also molten metal in the basements. also, as i said before, the LOWER sections were exposed to greater friction.

[muzicmaker2001]

Molten metal has to be caused by heat from some source. Melting point of Al=1220°F. If you want to go down the friction/kinetic energy road and get all scientific, answer these two questions. 1. The friction/heat had to TRANSFER somehow to the basement levels. Why was the molten metal ONLY discovered in the basements and none in the path of the transfer.

[eddyk3]

Molten metal was never officially recorded in the rubble, the only reports of molten metal we have are from rescue workers etc.

Besides...There tempertatures recorded in the towers were enough to melt many types of metals.

[muzicmaker2001]

There were many accounts from not just rescue workers. Those temps were 80 or more floors up. The towers came down in a controlled pile. How would those temps get under the tons of rubble to cause molten metal in the basements? And, what about WTC7? Also, how do we explain the many accounts of pre-collapse explosions (heard and felt)in the sub-basement levels?

[muzicmaker2001]

What did all three buildings have in common to cause this molten metal in the basements?

[repub21]

Hell these are first impressions. This is democrats problem. They take first impressions and say they are proof. The media doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about.

[iamthejake2000]

i'm a democrat and these ct people are morons.
