PROOF THAT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WAS DELIBERATELY DEMOLISHED.
EVIDENCE: BOTH OF THE TOWERS FELL IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS.
PROOF:
All that one needs to know, to be able to conclusively prove that the Twin Towers were demolished, is that the towers fell in roughly 10 seconds, that is, that they fell at about the same rate that an object falls through air.
Anyone with a little common sense will realize that the top of a building does not pass through the concrete and steel that comprises the lower portion of the building at the same rate that it falls through air. This just doesn't happen, unless, of course, the lower part of the building has lost its structural integrity (and this is usually due to the detonation of a multitude of small explosive charges as seen in controlled demolitions).
The fact that the towers collapsed in about 10 seconds is a statement that the upper portion of each of the towers passed through the lower portion at about the same rate that it would have fallen through air. The fact that the towers fell this quickly (essentially at the rate of free-fall) is conclusive evidence that they were deliberately demolished.
Believing that there is nothing wrong with the towers collapsing so quickly, is roughly analogous to believing that people pass through closed doors as quickly as they pass through open doors.
The fact that they fell at such a rate means that they encountered essentially no resistance from the supposedly undamaged parts of the structure. That is, no resistance was encountered from any of the immensely strong parts of the structure that had held the building up for the last 30 years. From this one can conclude that the lower undamaged parts were actually very damaged (probably by the detonation of a multitude of small explosive charges as is usual in a controlled demolition).

What about people passing through a door with a big f***ing hole in it?

Okay, I can explain this one easily... I'm English, there's a biiiiig bit of water between us, and for some reason, that means we all talk differently... so, the WHOLE building fell down in ten seconds, or just the bit above the big hole? cos that's what it looks like on the .gif

A jumbo jet full of fuel slammed into the building at a very high rate of speed, and then caught on fire. There was no need for additional detonation. That would have put a hole in just about anything.
i think this is a very poor claim for it to be called "proof". . .
so the top of the building collapsed and portions of it went away from the building, therefore nothing was infact providing resistance to the rate in which they fell. While the middle was collapsing at a slightlly slower rate there was so much debris in the air you couldn't see the middle of the tower . . . the outside pieces may have hit the ground in just 10 seconds but the tower did not totally implode. Also the "Believing that there is nothing wrong with the towers collapsing so quickly, is roughly analogous to believing that people pass through closed doors as quickly as they pass through open doors." line was not totally bogus if i am running and i hit a door that is not latched i am going to pass through it damn near as quicklly as if there was no door there at all . . . if this made no sense i appologize but i believe all of these claims are bunk.
This is easy enough to disprove from the video footage alone. If explosive charges had taken out the foundation, then we would have seen the building collapse from the bottom up. In reality, the building collapsed from the top, down. No matter how much "common sense" is ringing in your ears about the speed of falling objects, there's no possible argument against this that doesn't end up with the conclusion that you need to find out more about the physics involved with that collapsing building before you continue to rant and rave about the underlying conspiracy.
I'm not one to say conspiracies don't exist, but I am all in favor of actual evidence. Personally, MY common sense tells me that I don't know a darn thing about the dynamics of a million tons of steel and concrete falling to the ground and at what rate I should expect to see if fall, but my guess would be that it's at exactly the rate observed in the collapse of the twin towers.
You mean those planes I saw fly into the buildings didn't really exist? I'll be darned. I guess I need my eyes checked because I could have swore those two planes knocked down those buildings.

Lets leave the physics aside for a moment. Check this out: if the building was demolished thru the use of explosives as it's usually done when destroying old buildings, then somebody had to enter the building during after-hours and plant the explosives on all 100 floors. Taking into consideration that the buildings were used all the time up until 9/11, then people working there had to miss the evidence of these explosives, for ex. repainted walls, etc. OK lets assume that Bush administration did find reliable men who did plant the explosives in the building covering them so professionally that staff didnt notice the changes. These sky-scrapers are very strong and are not that easy to be knocked-down, no doubt about that.... As heather outlined in the above post, 2 jets full with fuel would be more than enough to bring these buildings down, no matter how strong they were. It's surprising that these buildings stood for such a long time before actually falling down into dust and debris - i would expect them to fall down right away.
Now, do you think it's possible for american president to plan a attack on america, which would take 3,000 lives of american citizens, disrupt the economy the way it did, and so on? NO, ITS NOT POSSIBLE.
