There is no possible way for the WTC collapse to have been a controlled demolition, and the evidence is here. This is an article authored by Brent Blanchard, Senior Editor for Implosionworld.com, and Director of Field Operations at Protec Field Documentations, Inc. Protec is a widely respected authority in the area of explosive demolition, having done engineering studies, structural analysis, etc on over 1000 different demolition events in over 30 countries. (Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this particular post comes from the above article).

First off, the blast looked nothing like controlled demolition. Controlled demolitions are always started from the bottom, to take the most advantage of gravity. However, the buildings failed where the planes hit, as indicated by close examination from every video and photographic angle, and there are no independent failures- all the floors below the impact point did not fail until being hit by the collapsing floors above them. According to the aforementioned article, there are other problems as well. The first possibility is that the explosives were placed, in advance, on the exact impact floors and somehow survived the initial, violent impact and resultant explosions, not to mention extreme heat.

The chemical nature of explosives (and their reaction to heat) makes this scenario physically impossible (Hint: High speed impacts and/or extreme heat tend to set off explosives). The other possibility is that the buildings were wired while the fires were burning, which is also pretty doubtful. Of course, there’s also another problem with both possibilities. One would have to place shaped charges on the columns, which necessitates removal of walls, furniture, etc on all impact floors as one must be able to see the columns to place the charges. This would require them to have either completed the entire work in the 55 minutes between impact and collapse, or done in advance, on several floors in both buildings, without getting caught and the explosives to have survived the impact of the planes. There’s just no way it could have been done. Continue Reading »

The 9-11 Truth Movement and other conspiracy theorists have numerous crazy claims. One such claim is that they insist the fact that the South Tower was the first to collapse, despite being hit second is proof of controlled demolition. However, this could not be further from the truth. There are several reasons why the South Tower collapsed first despite being hit second and the reasons rely on good, old-fashioned physics.
