Why did the World Trade Center towers
collapse?
The suspicious grey explosion-clouds right
below the black smoke caused by burning kerosene.
In-depth video coverage of the World Trade Center collapse |
According to Dr. Thomas Eagar
it was due to heat (interview),
and the most astounding thing he says is that the way the
towers collapsed were not surprising!
The towers collapsed into themselves the way we know it from
buildings being demolished by means of explosives - and they
always told us this is high-tech, precision-work, and you
need engineers to calculate the exact places where the explosives
are being placed!
There also have been reports of fireman actually reaching
the level of the fire and planning how to put it out - they
were not in panic and didn't think the building could collapse
- so it's unlikely there really was the enourmously big and
hot fire that caused the towers to collapse in the official
version.
Reports of explosions after the impact of the planes have
also been officially dismissed.
The official version says heat caused steel beams to melt
in the heat of burning kerosene. There has been much debate
if and under which circumstances kerosene may burn hot enough
to melt steel - but: the second plane did not hit the tower
directly, like the first one, but at the edge, causing the
fuel to evaporate in a huge fireball outside
of the WTC!
Clearly visible on the pictures is
that the 2nd impact did not occur dead-center like the
first one, but diagonally, on the edge of the WTC.
The jet fuel and debris was ejected
from the World Trade Center immediately - how likely
is it that the damage caused to the structure of the
WTC was identical to that one of the first impact, and
that again the fire was so hot it melted the steel beams
/ connectors? |
And everybody agrees that a normal fire could not
bring down a structure like the World Trade Center.
Conveniently, the steel scrap from the towers has not been
properly investigated, but has been sold to steel-companies
in India, China, Malaysia and South Korea.
You may see it only again when you buy an imported car ...

Van Romero is vice president for
research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
(NMTech). The Socorro university has levered itself into
one of the elite sites in the world for the study of explosives
and terrorism, attracting nearly $10 million a year in
federal money for programs that test explosives for US
and foreign agencies. On the morning of the attacks, Romero
and Tech's finance vice president Denny Peterson, were
near the Pentagon.
They had come to Washington to discuss
defense-funded research programs at Tech, leaving them
very conveniently located to grab NMTech's slice of the
imminent cleanup operation. Because New Mexico Tech offers
counter-terrorism training of police and fire first responders
to terrorism attacks in the United States!
Within hours Romero was telling the Albuquerque
Journal that the collapse of the twin towers could have been
caused by a small amount of explosive put in more than two
points in each of the towers.
"My opinion is, based on the videotapes,
that after the airplanes hit the World Trade Center there
were some explosive devices inside the buildings that caused
the towers to collapse," Romero said.
And Romero should know. After all Van is
a demolition expert and a former director of the Energetic
Materials Research and Testing Center at Tech, which studies
the effects of explosions on buildings.
Nevertheless, ten days later Romero had
changed his mind. Not only that, but the Albuquerque Journal
changed their story too. They altered the original web page
about Romero's views.

Until 9/11, no modern steel skyscraper has ever collapsed!
In 2005, the Windsor Tower in Madrid burned for 20 hours, and
it was a flaming inferno unlike the WTC fire where it was mainly
smoke after the initial fireball..
After the 20-hour-fire, the building was still standing and supported
a crane standing on the roof.
First Interstate Bank, Los Angeles
May 4, 1988
There was clearly a lot of fire, and a whole story on fire - but
it did not collapse.
