@jordanuserhats2 Because of the unique design. The heat from the burning jet fuel melted the girders and the then unsupported portion of the building above then fell staright down. Surely you know all that by now.
The 2nd tower hit fell first because it was hit lower down with much more weight above the collision point.
I was 3 when this happened. My Mom turned on the TV just before getting me from preschool and saw the tower come down. She broke down and cried right then and there. It's really sad that I had never saw any video nor really knew what happened until Bin Laden was dead. She said it looked like something out of a horror movie. With every video, every collapse, every person screaming I watch, I agree.
damn,you were right up in that when it came down...i bet you felt the debri fly right in your face too huh....i bet you felt that big time...i bet the gust of wind from that probably knocked the camera right out of your hands..........thats what i call being really close.
i get shivers everytime i watch this, when im older im visiting the memorial site in new york city, ri.p to all the innocent people that died that say <3 you will never be forgotten
im unsure about all the conspiracy theories about how this happened but at 5 and 7 seconds in you can see puffs of glass and smoke come out of the tower lower down the tower, before the collapse hits those spots. To me this would suggest that exposives were planted cos the tower couldn't be collapsing inside faster than then outside.
@heene Um roughly a week before 9/11 "contruction workers" went in the building and people in the trade tower were told to ignore them and went out to lunch like they normally would and came back to their office with dust all over their offices.
@heene Yes that's right, because the Government agents would have walked into the buildings with big bags saying 'HIGH EXPLOSIVES', written on them in broad daylight when everyone was at work. Perhaps they also had big round black things with lit fuses sticking out with 'BOMB' written on too, like in the cartoons.
You get 200k to 400k pounds of force coming down on you, and windows are going to break and air is going to be pushed out. There's also the factor of GRAVITY!!!!!!!
yea, those working inside would have noticed if explosives were being planted. The puffs of glass and smoke coming out ahead of time makes sense because as the floors are going down, you have a massive amount of air being forced down the floors and elevator shafts and all that, and it makes sense that the air would take the path of least resistance to get out, which in those situations were through the windows. Sorry if that didn't help
@javjasdjkfsdvbnjakdb I agree, but I am curious about bldg 7 collapse, that one has me stumped. You can clearly see "squibs" and they start out at all levels at the start of the collapse. I am certainly not a conspiracy type, but it is curious. Yes, how on earth could all those explosives have been planted unnoticed.
@javjasdjkfsdvbnjakdb it's nothing more than the pancake affect. THAT mixed with HOW the buildings were constructed and HOW the aircrafts crashed into the building all make sense as to how and why the building collapsed
@peter220481 The building was shaking like hell and extra weight was now coming down from the collapsing upper floors onto the lower floors. Stupid conspiracy theorists only have puffs of smoke as evidence. If you theorists use your own stupid logic to analyze your own story of 911, you'll see that your stories are the biggest bullshit ever.
@peter220481 Or the enormous pressure from thousands of tons of steel would cripple the re-enforcements, snapping them, making it look like there were mini explosions.
@peter220481 What do you think happens to all the air inside a giant building when it collapses? A building the size of the world trade center has massive dimensions and with it, a huge volume of air. As the top of the building collapses, that massive volume of air has to go somewhere, and so it, and smoke from the raging fires forced its way out of broken windows.
@peter220481 Please use some logic. Both WTCs were built in three layers. In other words, three buildings stacked on top of each other. The building instantly depressurized.. what you see there is one of the three destabilizing as it came falling down.
@peter220481 with the top of the tower coming down so rapidly, all the pressure in the building caused the windows to blow out as the tower was coming down
@peter220481 Those puffs of smoke were caused by air pressure. Those buildings were big tubes filled with mostly air. Think of the collapsing top portion as the pusher in a synringe - it forced the air pressure to rise dramatically in the floors below the collapsing section and it blew out some of the windows. Unlike the conspiracy nutbar stuff, it's logical, easily explained and doesn't involve mystery explosives along with miles and miles of demolition wires that eveurone would have seen.
@peter220481 i imagine that the sheer pressure of the rest of the building collapsing onto the lower tower caused the windows to shatter before the collapse reached that part of the tower?
@peter220481 um you do realize that there are windows in that building and that debris is being channeled throughout that entire build so it would have came out the windows
@peter220481 The inside of the tower actually could collapse faster than the outside, due to the way skyscrapers are designed.
They aren't designed like other smaller buildings, with steel beams for support due to the fact that the dead weight of the skyscraper would be so great it wouldn't be able to stand, so instead the outside of the building is made of reinforced concrete and supports the inside. When the planes hit the towers, the shell was punctured, and the inside collapsed.
@peter220481 Glass doesn't hold up well to vibrations... and that is a heavy ass load of building. You don't think that the whole tower was shaking as it was falling? That could easily break a window.
@peter220481 You also have to understand how much a 658 ton building crumbling down the pressure that it must have on the rooms that are already filled with ash as it is beings squeezed, ware is it gonna go? the only play that leads to the out side anyone? anyone? the window! good job you get a cookie. no explosives just a bunch of people who think video cameras on the highway is the government watching you, i mean come on.
@peter220481 So, you don't think the extreme air pressure of a fucking SKYSCRAPER, collapsing in on itself couldn't have possibly blew out some windows?
@peter220481 That is not necessarily true. The walls arnt what made up the entire tower. If the internal work wasnt falling around the tower it would be falling at its center. That weight would add up very quickly and it would be easy to see how the floors and internal walls would get ahead of the external walls.
Omg i would've freaked out if i were the camera man o0 i have seen another video of some people standing in a mall when the two towers colapsed and there came dust(just like pompei) and chocked the people inside the store in dust very scary :/
i fell so sorry for these people
