And let's not forget those buildings are built to withstand allsorts of natural pressure and abuse.
No building is designed to withstand the shock of a hit a 747, especially when its got several hundred tons of Kerosene onboard. You wouldn't believe the forces involved in that kind of thing.
Personally I'm just not convinced that trauma in the top quarter would cause the rest of it to come down the way it did
Do the physics/maths and you'll see it was almost inevitable from the start. The suprising thing is that the buildings actually stood for so long after the initial strikes. The method of collapse is entirely consistant with the pancake effect of cascade failure. Collapse one floor and the weight of the floors above will start a domino effect.
and more to the point I don't believe them planes wouldn't have been shot down had it been legit and that's why I personally suspect there's more than meets the eye....
The US authorities, like most other free countries are fundamentally ditherers. Can you imagine how far up the command chain a decision to shoot down passenger planes would of had to go ?
Nobody would of wanted to take that kind of responsibility so the easiest thing would be to kick it up another level and let somebody else sort it.
Could you imagine anyone in the UK taking such a decision out of the blue with no prior warning ?
Also look at the train of events. Although the FAA new there was something very wrong a good 45 minutes before any impacts they just assumed it was a set of coordinated hijackings. The procedure was being set in place for a negotiated settlement - it was never suspected the planes were to be used as weapons.
Another point, shooting down a 747 is not an easy thing. These things are huge. You'd effectively have to blow it to bits to stop it. A couple of missiles might explode it if they hit the right areas but its not a certainty. You've also got to look at where any wreckage may have fallen.
What would be certain is that the US military would of killed US civilians - at that point that would of been unthinkable (remember, the US military is constitutionally barred from taking any action within any US state without executive order)
I mean is it really so far fetched I mean after all it's not the first time the American's have lied. And I may well be adding 2 + 2 and coming up with 6 but to me from what I've seen there's a lot more to it for me.
Everybody lies, including governments but the kind of conspiracy you are suggesting is just too farfetched to be achieavable. By their very nature, conspiracies have to be perpetrated by a relatively small number of people or it wont remain secret. Do you really think explosive devices could of been hidden it the WTC to bring it down without subsequently some trace being discovered ?
There were litterally thousands of FBI and Crime scene people crawling through the WTC wreckage. Are all of them in on this conspiracy ?
Very, very unlikely indeed. As I said previously, if you want conspiracies then try to make them believable !
