Question:
Were the twin towers really hit by planes?

2016-03-28 01:21:52 UTC
So I tell my mother 9/11 was an inside job and planes really didn't hit the twin towers. I tell her, "Do you really think passenger planes, made of aluminum and fiber glass, would go straight into a building without at least losing a wing, tail, or landing gear?" She says, "Yeah, at the speed they're going, and there were people who even witnessed it." And I tell her that some people said they don't remember planes hitting the towers. I also tell her, given the structure to hold so much building up, I don't think that 1 plane each tower would take down a whole building of that size. She says,"What? Are you an architect now?" So she goes on about how planes hit the towers and yada yada yada, but that doesn't change my opinion at all. So was 9/11 an inside job? Or did planes really hit them?

Dude:



I was in the perfect position, on the barge at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to see the planes hit. I actually saw the first plane fly toward and crash into the North Tower; not on TV, but with my own eyes. I remember it VERY WELL. I can assure you, there were planes, and I didn't see any "JPEG particles."



Planting explosives in a buildings this size is something that can't be done overnight. You would have to open up the walls and ceilings and button them up before the people show up for work in the morning. Parts of the building were occupied 24/7. You would think that in an office complex where tens of thousands of people work someone would notice.



My sister worked for the engineering company that kept track of electrical and mechanical changes tenants make when they move in. In the months before 9/11 she physically traced every electrical, control, and data circuit, every hot, cold, drain, and chilled water pipe, and every air duct in the entire complex. She was in every electrical and mechanical room, on every utility floor in the towers. Anything that was out of the place or anything that didn't belong there would have been glaringly obvious.



You say the planes were made of aluminium. That's true. Throw an empty soda can off the observation deck of the Empire State Building and see what happens to the person it hits on the ground. Now imagine what 200 tons of aluminum and jet fuel moving at 500 miles per hour would do.



You say that the buildings were made of steel. That's true also. But unlike most other skyscrapers which use the "square set" skeleton, WTC towers were built to provide column free space on every floor. To do that the engineer designed the structural system of central concrete core and perimeter columns. To save weight, the floor slabs were supported by thin trusses instead of large I-beams. These trusses also provided the lateral support for the columns. The corrugated steel decking and concrete provided rigidity to the floors. At the Observation Deck in the South Tower there was an exhibit on how the towers were built, and part of the structure was intentionally left exposed.



People who say that the fire could not melt the steel have never taken the Strength of Materials class in college. One week into the course you learn how the steel expands when heated. About four weeks into the course you learn how the high temperature affects the strength of steel. The steel didn't have to melt, all it had to do is get hot and expand. As the floor trusses that were rigidly connected at both ends expanded they had buckled, removing the lateral supports for the perimeter columns.



In the second week of the Strength of Materials course you learn how the columns that are too long buckle without lateral support. This is what happened here.



You say there were JPEG artifacts around the moving plane. Of course there would be. You are looking at a slow motion video of a fast moving plane. The plane is moving faster than the camera shoots, so the picture of it in every frame is smeared. The buildings in the shot are not moving so they are not smeared in the frames.



You say: "plane doesn't loose a single appendage as they go into the building(sic)." Usually the planes do not break up until after the impact. As the planes crashed through the outer columns they did break up and debris continued through the building to exit on the other side.



You might want to pay attention to the yada yada yada part, because your mother IS telling you the truth, you're just not listening.

If possible, I would love for you to provide me with a source as to where you found someone who had said that they do not recall planes hitting the towers. As for your point on the inaccuracy of the planes collapsing the towers, you are correct. If people were to carefully observe the collapse of the World Trade Center, then they would notice that both buildings had fallen in a straight motion, which only occurs with a demolition, thereby implying that there was a bomb premeditatively implanted below each tower. And five years ago, there was scientifically documented proof of this from a former FBI agent by the name of Ted Gunderson, who is now deceased, but unfortunately when he died the proof also died with him and is now nowhere to be found. Furthermore, World Trade Center 7 had collapsed in the same fashion, though without being penetrated like the Twin Towers.



There are definitely many questions surrounding these attacks which, until now, have not been answered. Was it an "inside job?" I believe so. And by virtue of all of the correlations and evidence which has been pieced together over the last decade, it sure leans in that direction.

Bullsh*t belongs in barnyards, kiddo. Not between your ears.

So spare us the rehash of stupid conspiracy theory crap and try facing facts instead.



Facts are, citizens from dozens of nations died in the 9/11 attacks on the US, not just Americans.

Link - http://brilliantmaps.com/9-11-victims/



Fact is, the murders of those citizens were an act of war against each and every one of those countries.

And someone would have to be a drooling idiot or American to think they wouldn't retaliate.



Fact is, if 9/11 had been a faked attack the United States would no longer exist.

The US military was built & designed to fight 2 enemies simultaneously; not dozens at once & all their allies.

America has no excuse for failing to know the simple truth that nobody can take on the Free World and win.

Not when America (repeatedly) stole the credit for assisting the Free World in (repeatedly) teaching that

to a long list of countries such as the German, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires in WW1; Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan in WW2; North Korea, Iraq, Libya in various United Nations multinational enforcement missions, etc and etc.



Only conspiracy nuts are so busy being weird and paranoid that such things never occur to them.

Just like you and all the rest before you: you're too busy playing make believe to stop, learn or think.

To the point where you can't even see the forest for the trees or distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Give your head a shake, kid. And smarten up already.

Planes hit the towers.

Planes really hit them but the question is what kind of planes. On at least the second one a reporter said he didn't see windows, was a dark grey color, and looked more like a cargo or military plane. There have been statements that the buildings were made to withstand multiple hits. Then there's the question of explosions heard by cops and fire fighters in the lobby and ground floors.

Like it or not, the Gov. lies all the time, but it's up to you to believe what you will.

Yes, planes hit them. Hundreds of thousands of eye witnesses saw the first plane hit. Then millions of people in person and hundreds of millions watching the burning tower on live TV saw the second plane hit.



There were few cameras recording the first impact, as no one expected a plane to fly into one of the worlds largest building, but there are thousands of recordings of the second plane, including live coverage from every TV network and news networks. So your theory is that somehow a plot involved ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox, NPT, dozens of foreign and local news gatherers, using hundreds of cameras from all different angles, to fake a broadcast and somehow fool millions of eyewitnesses?

Yes.

The person who started the whole "inside job" thing was underemploy of the bush administration, and still is to an extent, to help divert attention from the fact the government had all the reasons to stop it from happening and used such crap videos as " building seven being demolished" without all the footage.

Most of the groups run by this man are subverted antisemitism in nature and are touted as being run by engineering specialists and demolition experts.



I have yet to find anyone in his ranks who holds any of those job titles and wasnt paid a substantial sum of money to "testify" on his behalf.



The government knew and did nothing.

Planes did hit and subsequently bring down the towers.

People did die.



The rest is garbage.

You didn't see it happen live did you?

I had just got home after seeing a friend for lunch. A few minutes later he phoned me and said "Turn on your TV NOW!" When I tried to ask why he yelled "Just f***ing do it! The news!".

I turned on my TV just in time to see the second plane hit the tower. If you understood how modern tall building are built you'd know it's easy for an aircraft to penetrate the outside.

"So I tell my mother 9/11 was an inside job and planes really didn't hit the twin towers"



Did you mother smack you upside the head for spewing stupidity and ignorance?



1000s of people on the street saw the planes hit the towers. It was not faked. It was not some hologram covering a missile. It was not alien mind-control lasers.

Sad your mother is sooooo much smarter than you are dude, you can claim the Easter Bunny hit the towers if you foolishly desire to believe things foolish things, where there is absolutely no proof to the contrary.



Bullets are tiny pieces of lead, yet at high speeds they kill easily, cross country jets carry THOUSANDS of gallons of jet fuel, maybe your tiny brain forgot that buildings are full of things which BURN.



I think this is just a lame troll for such, but It is really stupid so many years after the tragic event, the loss of so many Innocent lives. Maybe you need to get a real life dude. Cheers.

Your mother has considerably more common sense than you. Do you think the video footage was a fake? Where did the planes go if they didn't hit the towers? Your concept is nothing more than a delusion.
Huh?
2016-03-28 10:27:05 UTC
Planes really hit the buildings. The second impact was even timed to happen after news copters had time to arrive on scene to make sure the impact was recorded.

if you look at the many videos from that day, you will see what looks like a plane hitting a building BUT the planes never exited the other side of the buildings + there was no plane debris / pieces that were found !!!

You are on a roll. But there are more True Things for you to report to your mother:



Nobody landed on the moon (it was all faked), Donald Trump shot President Kennedy, the Brooklyn Dodgers never moved to California, and President Obama just made a new law that kids don't have to do their homework.

Watch the video AGAIN.



Look for reports of building fires. It's trivial to find buildings that had a lot smaller fires where the steel girders slumped. Then look at the architecture AGAIN.



Only this time do it honestly without irrational denial. Troll.

You are another crazy ****** conspiracy theorist. I saw it on the news when it happened. Thousand of people witnessed it. Yes planes flew into the towers,. How ****** thoughtless and insensitive can you be? Why would it be an inside job? For what purpose? Use your brain, if you have one.

It was an inside job but planes and patsies were used. The government are quite happy to sacrifice its own people for the benefit of the few and those that wish to believe otherwise are closed minded sheep. The government prefers people who don't question events to those that do. And if you belive that they care for the little person on the street then you are very naive ! You should always ask yourself who benefits when something like this event happens !



In the case of 9/11 - the USA and the building's owners benefitted far more than any terrorist organisation !

hi lizeth

or is it lame brain which is what you are with such theories......... yeah it happened and yeah aircraft impacted on those towers......... not an inside job or any other pet theories......... stupid stupid ideas have come from brain dead people ever since......... the facts where obvious it was not a movie it was real life......... people died horrific deaths.........

time to wake up ccild this really is the real world not the matrix either......... so time to get a grip child.........

A flight attendant I knew was working on UA 175 -



I have not seen her since then -

I guess she must be hiding at home since 15 years ago -

Her husband must have faked her disappearance.. right..?

You are as scientists say, not just wrong.



Your mother probably needs to beat the stupid out of you - but then, the odds of any of this story being true are just shy of zero. This is low order trolling if I've ever seen it.
