Reply #69: Now I see where some of you guys get the "unreliable eyewitness testimony" meme from: [View All]

Just like people who described seeing a missle or small jet hitting the Pentagon... or a plane flying over it...

"Go back to the top link and read how the firefighters describe that building. "Fully involved," they say. "Fires on all 47 floors," they say. "you could see the flames going straight through from one side of the building to the other, that’s an entire block," one says."

And yet there is not one, NOT ONE, photograph or videotape that backs these claims up. If you know of one, please provide a link to a photo of WTC7 "fully engulfed" with "flames going straight through from one side of the building to the other"...

Hint: There are none...

I agree with you about believing NIST over laser beams, but I haven't said a word about laser beams, have I? That's just distraction on your part...

The FEMA debris zones show LIGHT debris from Tower 1 and NO debris from Tower 2 reaching WTC7. Reports from firefighters checking WTC7 after Tower 1 collapsed state that there were "sparse fires" and "mostly dust & hanging wires" in the Lobby...

I'm also starting to take exception to the term "cantilever" in describing the building design. From looking at the structural details, there weren't any cantilevers, just a change in direction of the floor trusses. All the trusses had supports under them on the ends, whereas cantilevers do not.

I tried to do you a crude a drawing in paintshop pro to show the difference between a cantilever and trusses connecting to a girder truss and changing direction, but maybe one of our resident architects or engineers can explain it to you better. I think you're confusing the truss direction change in the "V" shape of the building with a cantilever...



Sorry it's so crude, but it was easier at the moment than going through my Home Design Architectural Series 18 software...
