Anyway, regarding 1 & 2, it was not
just burning, it
burning and structural damage. The intense heat with combined with the severe weakening of the structural integrity brought those buildings down. Once they started to go there was no way the lower floors were going to withstand that kind of weight coming down...not to any discernible level the naked eye could tell. Further much of the structural give taking place on the interior of the building prior to the collapse could not be seen from the exterior.
There were no squib charges detonating, there was no physical evidence of thermite recovered. Even if there had been the level of conspiracy it would take to mastermind such a plot would have been too huge to keep secret. Somebody would have had to gotten into all three buildings and spent dozens of hours secretly rigging them with explosives without raising a single eyebrow.
Now for the theory of the buildings being dropped by cutter charges to be at least remotely feasible, the triggering mechanisms integrity would have had to be able to withstand a massive impact as well as thousands of gallons of burning fuel pouring down through the building. And it would have had to withstand this intense inferno for hours until it was time to drop the buildings. Please explain how this could be done.
Further it makes no sense to go to all that trouble of rigging the buildings. If there was a conspiracy to use these attacks as a catalyst for military action then the attacks alone would have been enough. There is no significance to the towers actually falling as opposed to the just the attacks. The deed would have been done. The whole premise for this conspiracy is too just stupid to take even remotely seriously.
Al Qaeda did this, period. They flew jetliners full of fuel into the buildings at several hundred miles an hour. End of story.
The rest of this stuff is just unsubstantiated lunacy. Skepticism is fine, but don't confuse it with evidence or even credibility.
