Again, even if I grant all of this technology as being true and existing before 9/11, you haven't given good reason to believe it happened on 9/11, especially since the initial article you appealed to established that the planes had been hijacked. It makes no sense for the conspiracy at all.
Not to mention, how do you install radio control gear onto an in-service airliner undergoing regular maintenance without anyone noticing. You can't just sneak into the hanger, judo-chop a couple of engineers and plant a box under the wing.
It's a ridiculous theory and again, has zero evidence that it was ever used in 9/11.
Here is the TrIdata page from the official SPC website, note the caption at the top, "a small company with a wide wingspan...Dr. Dov Zakheim." Pretty funny, that's all.Wikipedia entry for Dov Zakheim:
"From 1987-2001, Zakheim was CEO of SPC International, a subsidiary of System Planning Corporation, a high-technology analytical firm...He was then appointed to be Undersecretary of Defense and Comptroller from 2001 to 2004 under the George W. Bush administration, and served in this capacity until April 2004.

Seriously if your in disagreement with the 911 truthers, just the facts alone would or should make you want a new investigation, as to why building 7 fell into a hole, otherwise they need to remove all sources of potential fires from buildings, such as coffee makers, and toaster ovens....if scattered fires can bring 42 floor skyscappers down, until then you should not feel safe going into any of these structures, until they find what can cause grand scale symmetrical universal structure failure, even on floors and sides not even touched by fire. I would want part of the investigation concentrated on identifying the firemen filmed running from building seven and telling people cant back this building "is coming down" its "gonna blow" and questioning these guys, has this ever been done as to what fire company these guys are from?
regardless of what you think may have been responsible for buildings 7 collapse, It should of had a thorough investigation for its obvious there was serious failure, and buildings built in the future need to have changes made so this same kind of destruction doesn't happen in the future
spiritman1 said:.........And what makes firemen run out of a building telling people its "GONNA BLOW"......I think if you were running from a building with knowledge its appearently going to collapse, yelling its "gonna blow" really doesn't make sense unless you know that an explosion is about to acure......then you run out and declare ITS GONNA BLOW! get back!
Actually, the firefighters had been evacuated hours before the building fell (and had announced that they expected it to fall, that's why they were pulled from the building, to prevent any further loss of life)...so there is no video of someone 'running out of the building', saying it's gonna blow.
You will find video of firefighters saying that it's about to fall (but not as they're 'running out of the building'). As to your final point, find any video of WTC7 that you want, and point out the 'explosion' you just referred to. There isn't even a single ONE, let alone a succession of them.
This makes zero sense for the conspiracy, and nobody yet has given me reason to think otherwise.

Why wouldn't they expect it to come down?
ManFromUncle said:It was 3:30 pm and they already saw the twin towers come straight down 5 hours ago, now anything could happen. Further, Rudy Giuliani had been warned by someone in a phone call, it was never determined who, that the South Tower was going to fall so he could skeedaddle up Vessey Street with his tail between his legs. Obviously someone was in the know, and maybe Rudy didn't think about just his own rear after all, and told the firefighters about WTC7. Let's put him on the stand and ask him, and ask lot of other things, like who told him to ship the steel to China to be melted. Too bad he didn't tell anyone in the South Tower.
ManFromUncle said:Who was in WTC7? Just Rudy's Emergency Command Bunker, a hardened floor, and included the US Secret Service, the SEC, CIA, FBI, and Dept. of Defense. What just happened to be destroyed in the process as SEC were files for investigations of Enron and Worldcom, which never got off the ground again. It is speculated (repeat, speculated) that wtc7 was the command center for the 911 operation so it had to come down.
ManFromUncle said:You seem fixated on hearing explosions, but there is no law that says that is how all demolitions work
ManFromUncle said:thermite sparks and melts steel, doesn't explode, but as long as you ask, yes, there was a very credible witness to explosions, the chief of NYC Emergency Response, who died last year at a seemingly robust 53, CAUSE STILL UNKNOWN. He was the last man out of WTC 7 and the command bunker. You can't even go to NYC and get the coroner's report, how unusual is that? Now there is this new evidence of foul play. A film maker hired a private investigator to look into the records. The investigator returned his money and told him "never contact me again." Jennings gave this interview after 911.
Exactly, especially since firefighters had been in the building and not only seen the large portion out of the building created by debris from the collapsing towers, but also heard the type of creaking associated with an unstable structure. They are, after all...firefighters. So once they determined that it was already unstable, they pulled the entire group from the building and let the fires rage, unfought. It's that simple.
Take a look at the large kink in the building, long before it collapses. It's well-documented, and is not the result of some 'demolition'.
More speculation about a sinister plot, and it's not convincing, nor do you have any explanation for the collapses yet (that's what my previous, lengthy posts specifically dealt with, in detail). Not to mention that oldbetang already dealt with your 'shipped all the steel straight to China' claim.
1. Any files that you think needed to be destroyed could have easily been accomplished without blowing up a building. This is merely another example where the conspiracy has to get far more complex and convoluted than the simple explanation. And you're merely speculating.
2. Command center? For what, the remote-controlled planes? The demolitions team, who were setting off mysteriously quiet bombs and secret thermite cutter devices from their control panel? More wild speculation that is more complex and convoluted than the real explanation, and not a shred of evidence to support it. You don't just get to make this up as you go along.
And you don't get to appeal to some magic method simply to keep perpetuating the conclusion. There has to be a realistic mechanism for silently demolishing buildings, and that's what my previous, lengthy posts addressed in detail. You didn't even bother to touch them, and just repeated the claim again. It's an unfounded claim, and is also known as the fallacy of special pleading.
Thermite doesn't do a single thing in regard to demolitions that you've tried to attribute to it. That stuff was covered in my previous posts, and you just skipped over them and are repeating false claims again. What you attribute to thermite is something it does not do.
But just to hedge your bet, you appeal to explosions, too. But this also fails. Any explosion powerful enough to sever columns is going to be heard far outside the building, not merely by Barry Jennings, and not just a few explosions spread out over a series of hours, but a quick succession of them that removes the resistance right before collapse. They would be seen as well as heard, outside the building, because of what they have to do...sever vertical columns.
I'm familiar with Jennings' story, and he's confused about what happened (understandable, given the circumstances), and his testimony is contradicted by Hess, who was with him when this happened. Barry talks about being 'blown across the room', but if it were a demolitions charge, he would have been killed instantly. As I remember, the force he's referring to was from a collapsing elevator down the shaft, but we can go back and look, if you like.
As for his 'mysterious death', you should know that the Loose Change guys tried to get him involved in their last film, Loose Change Final Cut, and he finally refused after stating that they were trying to twist his story (something they're notorious for doing).
He later died, and as far as I know, the family did not request an autopsy. At any rate, he had been saying the same things for years, and had even backed off the conclusions you're trying to draw (hence his spat with the Loose Change guys), so there is no need to appeal to his death as some sinister murder, several years after he had already said those things. He had shrunk from the supposed spotlight, and was not presenting any new information to anyone.
As always, you prefer wild speculation to actual fact. I'm still waiting on a mechanism that explains the collapses of the towers, which I went into detail about in the previous posts.
As for the further point about an investigator telling this supposed figure to 'never contact him again', it may have been his own distaste for another conspiracist trying to abuse the story for their own purposes. The Jennings family had been hounded by conspiracists, which also helps to explain why they didn't want any more hassle concerning his death, and chose to keep it private instead of dealing with more people eager to hijack his life for their own cause.

There you go again, the usual pattern of tossing out anything you don't have an answer for as having been "dealt with" (without saying how,)
ManFromUncle said:playing dumb about how thermite works even though it has been presented to you over and over
ManFromUncle said:and saying any witnesses who upset your Official Conspiracy Theory were "confused," like Barry Jennings and firefighter from the North Tower John Schroeder. What would they know? They were both nearly killed but you sitting at your computer would know more.
ManFromUncle said:Many observers of this thread already dismissed you on grounds like these, and on the basis of the above you can be deemed not worth answering.

ManFromUncle...is something wrong? You seem angry.
--snip-
I'm the only one that has articulated a collapse mechanism, and you've been unable to say any more than 'I don't know', when asked about how your explosions were so quiet, or on any of the specifics about thermite. You keep implying that it does things it cannot do, and when pressed on it, you get testy and start posting the same links again. I can't help it if you don't know your stuff
You were just caught red-handed on this, after having multiple pertinent questions put to you about how it works, and you punted all of them with 'I don't know', and then got aggressive about the video you had posted, saying 'if you have to post it again, you're gonna vomit'...and then it turns out that your video had NOTHING to do with thermite, and the demolitions guy was talking about shape charges, hahahaha. The video starts with beams that were cut during cleanup (which I posted pictures of), and the makers expect us to believe it was done before the collapse. Extremely dishonest.
You literally didn't even know what your own video was talking about! It gave me a good chuckle though, so thank you. I suggest you learn the difference between thermite and shape charges before taking on your next opponent.

That's just one example which came up after about 30 seconds of research, pinned to the top of the page. Since you kept asking the question, I know you saw it too. Why didn't you post it instead of wasting all these folks' time?The present invention provides for cutting operations using linear thermite charges; the charges cut one dimensional or two dimensional geometric shapes; the invention is useful for structure entry or demolition.

Sure, mass murder makes me a little angry. Doesn't it you? You say you are having a pretty good time laughing. But no one is laughing. This shows where you are coming from, and I hope it is making folks out there angry enough to join and act.
ManFromUncle said:You keep asking "what is the mechanism and exactly how does thermite work?' while ignoring Building 7,
ManFromUncle said:Hani Hanjour's impossible Blue Angels dive into the Pentagon
ManFromUncle said:the molten steel
ManFromUncle said:It's pretty clear in the video that it is showing how linear shaped thermite charges could be used in a demolition.
ManFromUncle said:
ManFromUncle said:But if that's not clear enough for you, here's just one patent, I'm sure the military doesn't give out its best recipes.
ManFromUncle said:Remember now, thermite burns and melts steel, it doesn't explode. This video shows how the thermite reaction works, in a field demonstration (kids don't try this at home!)
