Pancakes or Explosives? Questions Remain About WTC Collapse

The "pancake theory" of the collapse of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers on 9/11 is stacked up against the theory that the towers were brought down by a type of controlled demolition using pre-planted explosives.

i understand that its not enough heat to melt the steel, but did you add the pressure that it was under from the weight and also the air that was going in, that amount of oxygen would get that fire going really hot and really fast working with the added pressure from the higher floors

@starmanskye It does appear the UA paper reported "melted steel.” Not exactly what you'd call a major news org, but my apologies for calling it a lie.

However, sloppy writing from a student paper is NOT evidence.

Richard Ebeltoft, the structural engineer cited, is NEVER quoted using the word "melted." And the temperatures he estimates - 1,500-2,200 deg - are NOT hot enough to melt steel.

The "melted steel" statement came from an over-eager student copywriter, NOT any authority or scientist.

@TimReed22222 -- MANY news reports on the day after the attack spoke of melted steel. A report in the Arizona Daily Wildcat, entitled "Intense Heat Melted Steel Supports in Trade Center" quoted structural engineer Richard Ebeltoft on subject of fires melting steel: '... flames fueled by thousands of gallons of aviation fuel melted building's steel supports.' Hyman Brown quoted again in Sept 12th AP article. '... flames fuelled by thousands of litres of aviation fuel melted steel supports...'

Pray to God he/she gives you the wisdom of 9/11..... this post I see shows ignorance at it's money best.. It wasn't Bush nor was it poliital... unfortunately since then it's all policatil

[TimReed22222]

"Initially, you had news reports saying ... the jet fuel melted the steel."

Wow. Right off the bat, a FLAGRANT lie! No news organization EVER made this claim, and I challenge anyone to show me a clip that proves otherwise.

Classic truther straw-man argument.

Jesus Christ... how obvious was it from day one!!!.............basic science boys and girls!!!

[Usernicky]

When you think about it now, it seems too obvious 8 years after the events that it was a big fake to shock people all over the world.

The issue that we were not able to control our FEAR to discuss rationally about it.

Explain to me how a few men with BOX CUTTERS were able to take control of a "commercial" plane with many alleged passengers on board. Did this aircraft only alow children and cripples on? COMMON SENSE proves this was a fabricated event.

At first i was so angry at the people that said this was an inside job...I just took at as what I was fed...but after watching several videos here...I can't argue, I completely believe it's an inside job now.

[JayDropside]

i totally agree!
