This is my personal rant as one trained in engineering structures ...
WE were taught in engineering school that buildings, especially tall steel-framed buildings, need to be designed for "failure" modes ...
THAT IS we were taught to design-in failure of buldings that is "non-catastrophic", that if it were to fail, it would only fail part by part - NOT ALTOGETHER ...
THUS buildings cannot fail catastropically, such as happened to the WTC, UNLESS ALL THE KEY STRUCTURAL POINTS OF THE BUILDING WERE in a sense DISCONNECTED AT THE SAME TIME - WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE IF THE BUILDING WAS HIT BY THE PLANE AT SUCH AN OBTUSE ANGLE AT SUCH A HEIGHT! There should have been a stump that stayed up at least to 1/3 the height of the building on the core ...
It is impossible for this to happen unless ...
THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN IT DOWN LIKE A VERTICAL TELESCOPING IS TO TAKE OUT THE CORE FROM THE BOTTOM UP - FROM THE BASEMENT AND ALL THE WAY UP .....
Every floor had to be decoupled from the main core and the core itself had to be destroyed.
THIS NEEDED A DEMOLITION TEAM WITH INSIDE KNOWLEDGE TO SET IT UP - SOMEONE WHO CAN WALK IN AND OUT OF THE WTC AT WILL - ONLY THE OWNERS OF THE BUILDING CAN DO THIS .....
No way this could have been done other than it be an inside job.
My prayers to the people of Afghanistan and Iraq who died being accused of this deed ......
