Israel and 9/11 - An Introduction

[Jan Klimkowski]

Phil - your post #14 above is typically resonant.

It's truly hard to know if the collapse of the top sections were an engineered demolition with some sort of pre placed or delivered devices in the planes ot if they were simply from the excessive heat from the fires generated by the plane fuel and contents acting on a vulnerable design.

The vulnerable design was definitely part of the cover up because regardless of the cause of initiation, the structure was not investigated for the likelihood of progressive collapse. There are engineering papers which show this is a distinct possibility in high rise buildings. Those papers were written after the towers were built and before they collapsed (I believe).

I speculate that this *engineering secret* was something that was something that could be exploited IF someone wanted to take the towers down... without having to use a traditions low down column destruction. The tradition approach would require such massive explosive power that it would be very hard to place without notice. But the progressive floor collapse led by a core destruction up top required much less energy input to kick off the floor collapse which had to be a downward driven process.

I speculate that AQ type terrorists did not need to take the towers down... but the simply hit them and such a plane strike and ensuing fires would make them unusable not to mention unrentable even if they could have been repaired. I speculate that the total destruction of the entire complex would not be a goal of a terrorist. This speculation leads one to think that the supposed hijackers got very lucky and cause way way more damage than then thought would happen... or they had done some engineering and advanced study of the buildings including the electrical systems.

Jeffrey - in an area of scientific literature with which I am more familiar, namely medical papers published in clinical journals or as records of specialist conferences, discoveries or insights of this profound nature - analogous to what you term an "engineering secret" - can occasionally be found.

These discoveries then tend to remain curiously unresearched in the open, public domain, literature.

However, it sometimes becomes evident that the research into such "secrets" continued and intensified... out of sight, in the world of black budgets...
