Did the collapse of World Trade Center prove to any moron that 9/11 was an inside job?
Skyscrapers just don't collapse in seconds without resistance unless explosives used, and Unlike WTC1 and 2, World Trade Center 7 was not impacted by any planes

Skyscrapers don't usually get hit by large commercial airliners travelling at very high speed either. Just because something has not happened before and your uninformed mind can not comprehend it does not make it impossible.
There was resistance when the WTC towers fell and that resistance has been calculated. It has been well documented in the NIST engineering report and over 100 papers published in peer-reviewed physics and structural engineering journals.
Wait, don't tell me you are one of those people who fall for the "free fall speed" line (which isn't even the correct terminology)? If the WTC Towers fell at so-called "free fall speed" with "no resistance" then how do you explain this?

Is all of that debris well below the collapse point descending at faster than "free-fall speed"? By what mechanism known to physics?
If explosives were used why were there no explosions? The types of high explosives used in buildng demolition will register a deafening 130 db as far as 1.5 miles away yet the explosives used in the WTC Towes were completely silent? The worlds first non-exploding explosives? How did the aircraft manage to hit the exact floors where the explosives were supposedly planted? How did those explosives survive in raging fires without cooking off prematurely? How did the leads not get cut by the impact of the planes? Hell, how did the explosives get there in the first place without a single person noticing? Best estimates are that two thousand tons of high explosives would be necessary to bring the towers don't. You can't hide that behind a filing cabinet.
And what of WTC7? It burned uncontrolled for 8 hours. No steel framed building has ever burned for 8 hours with no attempt to contain the fires and no steel building could be reasonably expected to survive such an event. Other steel structures have collapsed in far less time - the upper floors of the Windsor in Madrid, Highway 80 in Oakland, the Delft University Science Building, etc, etc, etc,... WTC5 wasn't hit by any planes either but it collapsed from fire. The Greek Orthodox Church, Fitterman Hall, the Duetsche Bank building - all destroyed even though not hit by aircraft because they were hit by falling giant skyscrapers.

Fire cannot bring down a building that fast unless explosives are used.
I can't believe people actually think a man in a cave orchestrated 9/11. Osama Bin Laden doesn't even have running water! But he smart enough to get people into America & hijack a plane & fly it into a building? No!
9/11 was orchestrated by people in our own government.

When they were building the WTC they used asbestos for insulation until the got towards the upper floors but pressure was put on them to stop using it. The engineer involved said if it ever caught on fire it would collapse but nobody listened, the terrorists found out about it and used the information to their advantage. Fox news publicized those facts not long after the tragedy. It was not an inside job, the terrorists got the information off the internet.

If a skyscraper was built in the unique way that WTC 1 &2 were built it will pancake bc it didn't have an internal steel skeleton to stop the collapse
Next time do your homework

Let's assume 9/11 was an inside job. What can you do about it? It was done by a government who see their people as so insignificant that they are willing to blow up the tallest buildings in the world and kill thousands of their own citizens for whatever reason. If indisputable proof was made public they aren't going to care about killing dissenters and, as they've proven to be reasonably good at keeping secrets, will simply make up another secret that all the people responsible have been dealt with.
In short - nothing to be done.

Watching Zeitgeist again?
The steel became weakened and that is the only way it could have fallen.
Fully loaded with jet fuel, it stood no chance (weight and heat.)
Now... If it were empty plane, it was designed to withstand it. Also rrmembered from when built.
Also.. Second building weakened by collapse of first.

it was an inside job. The collapse was perfect. Such a perfect collapse would take months for top experts to achieve by inserting bombs at specific locations inside the building.
And the government wants us to believe that a few uneducated talibans could achieve this with a simple plane? I call BS.
All the retards who believe 911 was not an inside job are simply retards.

It would prove to a moron, and only a moron, that it was an inside job
- Anonymous9 years ago
When they were building the WTC (yes I can remember) one of the published fact about the buildings was that they were designed to collapse into their own footprint so as to prevent further disaster. I can't understand why people want to keep making fools of themselves asking stupid questions like this in a public forum, but then it isn't all their fault. Look at our education system since the unions and the federal government got involved.

While you were undoubtedly cowering under a desk hundreds of miles away pissing your panties, I was a NY Detecive who worked out of 120 Broadway 1 1/2 blocks from the WTC on 9/11
I saw sights on that God Awful Day that I pray that I will never see again
I can assure you that 9/11 was most definitely not an " inside job "
Your questions dishonors the memory of the 3,000 innocent men and women who died on that terrible day.
