WTCs1,2 Visual Facts for What Happened, Audio/Visual Facts for What Didn't Happen (It Doesn't Matter Whether a One-Way Crush Down Is Possible, Or Whether the Floors Braced the Core)



Regarding WTCs1,2 Audio/Visual Facts

Hypotheses that contradict the visual facts are wrong.

Not all hypotheses that agree with the visual facts are right.

Restated: Where in conflict, the visual facts trump all hypotheses. You can argue about causes, but you can’t argue with facts.



“I pass with relief from the tossing sea of cause and theory to the firm ground of result and fact.” -Churchill



Visual Facts For What Happened: ONE. Perimeter columns gradually buckled and collapsed at the failed floors. TWO. Floor slabs subsequently collapsed inside the perimeter and core columns. THREE. Perimeter and core columns, not crushed nor exploded, subsequently toppled to the ground.



Audio/Visual Facts For What Didn’t Happen : ONE. No expected CD loud detonation sounds. TWO. No evidence for expected explosives/thermite damage to columns or spandrel plates. Evidence of large sections of connected, unexploded, unshattered toppled core and perimeter columns. THREE. CD explosives-ejected perimeter columns should have outdistanced the dust cloud behind them, they did not.

Visual Facts For What Happened:



ONE. Perimeter columns gradually buckled and collapsed at the failed floors.

The following visual evidence proves initial failure began with perimeter columns progressively buckling then collapsing. No explosives expulsion of structure. No CD loud detonation sounds.

(1) Pictures of progressive buckling WTC2 columns.

(2) Video of WTC2 progressively buckling exterior columns then collapse from Trinity Church. No explosives expulsion of structure. No CD loud detonation sounds.

(3) Video of closeup collapsing WTC2 corner. No explosives expulsion of structure. No CD loud detonation sounds.

(4) Closeup WTC1 collapse, no explosives expulsion of structure.

TWO. Floor slabs subsequently collapsed inside the perimeter and core columns.

(1) Large sections of still attached exterior walls not crushed, nor explosively fragmented in little pieces, lying on ground. Peeled over, toppled in large sections. Floors failed first then column assemblies toppled. Columns not crushed or CD'd.

(2) WTC1 video of surviving core columns (roughly 60 stories at WTC1, 40 stories at WTC2). Floors swept past columns. Core columns not crushed, not exploded.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5hBH...rom=PL&index=6

(3) WTC1 core exposed as floors collapse first, then columns. Core columns should have been CD'd at this point.

(4) Pancaking floors overpressure expels dust and debris out of windows. No crushing of columns as floors collapse inside past the columns. Overpressure plumes continuously steady, not explosively large and then diminishing. If plumes were explosions, columns would have been ejected at the same time, but they remain in place until exterior columns topple.

THREE. Perimeter and core columns, not crushed nor exploded, subsequently toppled to the ground.

"The way the towers were really brought down was a series of 3-story controlled demolitions. Around 25 to 30 controlled demolitions every three stories.” -Tony Szamboti on Kevin Barrett's radio show, 10/30/07



The following visual facts prove that after the floors pancaked past, the perimeter columns (36 foot long, 10 foot wide ,three column, three story bolted at base plates ) and core columns toppled.

(1) Pictures of large connected sections of exterior columns, not exploded, spandrels undamaged.

http://www.911myths.com/assets/images/columns.jpg

(2) WTC columns impaled in Bankers Trust building; no damage to WTC columns or spandrels from explosives. Columns toppled.

http://www.studyof911.com/gallery/al...ingcolumns.jpg

(3) Falling dust clouds, perimeter column sections are seen upright, not crushed, not exploded - then toppling. First video at 36 - 39 seconds, second video at 14 - 17 seconds, lower right offcenter . These videos show a number of critical facts. The top columns/floors block fell without loading/crushing the perimeter columns directly below. The floors first collapsed past the perimeter columns,the columns remained standing. The columns were not explosively expelled. The columns toppled.

Audio/Visual Facts For What Didn’t Happen:



ONE - No expected CD loud detonation sounds

(1) Inside WTC1 lobby as WTC2 collapses 100 feet away. No CD loud detonation sounds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NzSx...om=PL&index=40

(2) Victim taped call to 911 , 5 minutes before and during collapse of WTC2. No explosives sound.



TWO. No evidence for expected explosives/thermite damage to columns or spandrel plates. Evidence of large sections of connected, unexploded, unshattered toppled core and perimeter columns.

For explosives/thermite to have been used in the CD of the exterior columns, only two hidden places were available: (1)The plenum space between the lay-in ceiling tile directly under the floor trusses and the floor deck above. Explosive/thermite charges would be visible within this plenum, and (2) the hand access holes at the base/head locations of the columns.

(1) Picture of floors and spandrel plate at this location. Note access construction holes for bolting ends of columns.

http://www.911hoax.com/911Blogger_1-...ter-column.jpg

(2) The hand access holes provided at the head and base of each 36 foot column to install the columns four connecting bolts. Picture of holes at 6 feet above the floor below, 36 feet oc. Placement of explosives/thermite inside of columns.

(3) WTC2 columns impaled in Bankers Trust building; no CD damage to WTC2 columns bases or spandrels from explosives/thermite. Columns toppled.

http://www.studyof911.com/gallery/al...ingcolumns.jpg

(4) Picture of large whole, unshattered columns assemblies from WTC1 wall toppled at Winter Garden. Columns assemblies topped.

http://www.911myths.com/assets/images/columns.jpg

(5) From the two pictures above we conclude the following:

No evidence of explosives/thermite damage/decapitation above the column ends, undamaged ends with bolt holes visible. No explosives damage to spandrel plates. Large sections of toppled attached column assemblies prove column assemblies not shattered by CD into small pieces, three stories tall.



THREE. CD explosives-ejected perimeter columns should have outdistanced the dust cloud behind them, they did not.

“Niels Harrit: “We do not know if the thermite that we have found is the same thermite which has been used for melting the beams. It’s very, very possible that different varieties were used, and I personally am certain that conventional explosives were used too, in abundance.”

Russia Today: “When you say “in abundance,” how much do you mean?”

Niels Harrit: “Tons! Hundreds of tons! Many, many, many tons!”

http://www.russiatoday.com/Best_Vide...WTC.html/print

(1) Since we know from the above visual evidence that explosives/thermite were not placed inside the columns at the hand access holes or near the spandrel plates, the purported explosives could only have been placed in the ceiling lay-in tile plenum offset from the face of the columns a sufficient distance (and still discoverable) and with the necessarily large enough quantity of explosives to have explosively propelled the columns horizontally hundreds of feet.

“ Girders [sic] from the North Tower of the World Trade Center weighing about four tons each were found in the Winter Garden 600 feet away after the towers collapsed. How fast must they have been thrown to land that far away … The girders [sic] were blown out … by explosive charges that were set in the building ahead of time. … You might try pondering how four ton girders [sic] ended up 600 feet from the base of the World Trade Center.” – David Chandler video below.

Here is the answer - large sections of attached, toppled column assemblies at Winter Garden that David Chandler claims below were exploded 600 feet distant are seen instead wholly attached and toppled onto the ground reaching the Winter Garden.

(2) Proximity and relative height of WTC1 to WTC7 (in picture directly to the left of WTC1) and Winter Garden.(in picture directly below WTC1)

http://www.debunking911.com/wtc1heli.jpg

(3) From this video of WTC1 stop it two seconds after failure (at 33sec). The plumes on the right side are about 60 feet from the building. Stop the video two seconds later (at 35 sec). The plumes are about 120 feet from the building.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVDaAufKnLc

(4) David Chandler calculates that at this failed floor WTC1 (96th floor), the explosive velocity of the columns propelled 600 feet horizontally onto the Winter Garden would be about 50 mph. At two seconds after failure, this would put the exploded columns at 73 fps x 2 seconds = 146 feet away from the building, outdistancing the dust plume (60 feet) and should have been visible in the video. They are not. At four seconds after failure, this would put the exploded columns at 73 fps x 4 seconds = 292 feet away from the building, outdistancing the dust plume (120 feet) and should have been visible in videos. They are not.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUKLOlIhang

(5) Since the expelled columns ahead of the dust plume are not visible, the columns could not have reached 600 feet by the use of large explosive charges in the ceiling plenum, or elsewhere for that matter, they reached 600 feet by toppling , David Chandler, Tony Szamboti, et al CTs are wrong.

"If you don't like these conclusions you can reject the theories, but you can't reject the facts." -David Chandler.



Conclusion:

All the visual facts confirm the gravity collapse of the Towers.

All the visual facts refute the use of explosives/thermite in the collapse of the Towers.
