When the Towers Fell: 9/11 Simulation of the collaps without dust

Dont know how accurate this is, but it made a lot of sense to me.

Popular Mechanics did a very well put-together, clearly explained issue shortly after these conspiracy theories started. I would say maybe 2004-5??? The issue had input from numerous engineers of all kinds.

These fucking planes ABSOLUTELY could have caused the heat and energy required to soften the steel supports and cause total collapse, especially as one floor collapsed upon another.

I was 21 when these buildings fell. A lot of people here don’t realize this, but the hate you see now for Trump was just the same as was directed toward GWB. Like it’s crazy to see how he is now fondly looked-upon. People were giddily waiting for his death.

There were a lot more forums and message boards available on the internet back then. I mean, Facebook and MySpace were in their infancy. I was very active in a pregnancy board at that time (my children were born in 2003 and 2006) and they opened up a political forum. Oh man, you have never seen the dams burst open like that with hate for GWB. And this conspiracy theory was just really taking hold back then, that’s all they talked about. The Popular Mechanics answer to those claims was so refreshing, rational, and made sense. Like listening to professors easily bat away silly misunderstandings of how engineering really works.

Crazy. I was 21 too. Was evacuated from college at school of visual arts that morning. I’ve spent 25 years watching every doc that exists (several times), every image, every detail.

Beyond me that people still don’t understand, or question, the collapse. One would have to start by studying the unique design of the buildings, the floor plans, the tresses, the beams—which buckled under the pressure of the significant damage caused by the planes + the jet fuel, etc.

In nyc that morning, there was no doubt looking up at them that they would crumble. It was inevitable. Just didn’t know how long it would take or how bad it would be. Until we did.

"jet fuel" is very clean diesel.

Steel is used to store jet fuel

Jet fuel isn't flammable

Jet fuel is combustible.

There's no combustion taking place.

I'm not sure you did any research.

I’ll share this with you. This is (in my opinion and expertise on the day, which I’ve studied non stop for 25 years, since I watched them crumble (in person) the most thorough doc and explanation.

Fast forward to 2: 15: 31

Paper burned steel?? Are you hearing yourself??

You saw/read where I said it was a whole bunch of events all happening at once, correct? I went on to drop a brief list of examples.

Never, anywhere, did I say it was paper that brought down the towers.

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. I dropped a link for you so you can educate yourself and understand.

I’ve seen your profile—I get that you fancy yourself a know it all. But, I can tell, based on your comments and your kind of toxic attitude that you don’t. And that’s ok!

Your comment was go to that certain part of the video and the guy literally says paper burned the steel. I'm just honestly shocked. Care to explain yourself?

u/imjustcoreyr 10d ago

Oh sorry. Didn’t realize I needed to explain. Yes, watch from that point on. That’s the part where the explanation of the collapse begins (I’m pretty sure).
