911 The Strangest Fires Ever Told, by L. Reichard White

The people who know building and engineering say the collapses of WTC 1, 2, and 7 couldn’t have happened the way the government said it did. From L. Reichard White at lewrockwell.com:

CBS NEWS, New York City, Sept. 11, 2001

For the third time today, it’s reminiscent of those pictures we’ve all seen too much on television before when a building was deliberately destroyed by well-placed dynamite to knock it down …” –well-known CBS news anchor Dan Rather

The extraordinary claim that fire was the ultimate cause of the complete progressive collapse of three skyscrapers on September 11, 2001 is the flimsy foundation upon which the Police State is being constructed. How realistic is that claim?

Ever since a B-25 hit the Empire State Building on the morning of July 28, 1945, high-rises have been designed to withstand the impact of airliners similar to the ones that hit the Twin Towers on 9/11.

Even unprepared, the Empire State Building, hit on Sat. morning, was back in service in two days.

In the case of the Twin Towers, based on a study definitively described in City in the Sky as “the most complete and detailed of any ever made for any building structure,” this plane-strike resistant design is verified by Towers head structural engineer John Skilling like this – – –

Concerned because of a case where an airplane hit the Empire State Building, Skilling’s people did an analysis that showed the towers would withstand the impact of a Boeing 707. …According to Skilling, “There would be a horrendous fire. A lot of people would be killed,” he said. “The building structure would still be there.” –Seattle Times, Feb. 27, 1993

  1. How about the fireproof passports.

    Saw an interesting one of the planes were holograms and another said UAV.

    How long can the Humpty Dumpty lies last?

  2. Calculate the kinetic energy release of a 707 traveling at 150 mph and the energy release of a 767 traveling at 550 mph. The first one is the assumption of what the impact effect would be if a plane was lost but approaching for landing, or just after take off. The second one was a larger aircraft traveling at four times that speed. The impact of the 767 was 17 times greater than what was planned for. The building would not sustain minimal damage. Comparing it to a much smaller plane that hit the Empire State building traveling at an even lower speed? The impact difference is 100 to 1. The Twin Towers were not the regular post and beam construction that most skyscrapers are made of. The truss construction was only used on these two skyscrapers. You are comparing two distinctly different types of construction. The post and beam is much heavier and more resilient. Your comparison does not prove the failure was caused by something other than the planes that hit it. Because it was an open floor the planes went nearly entirely through the building. It’s a wonder they stood at all after the impact.
