  1. at 0:34 does it look like collapsing of a structure, or perhaps falling top
    of the building through previously pulverised material at your opinion?

  2. @richard20bris Stop speculating! We need a real investigation first. Dozens
    of major cities in Europe are engaging in a decentralized 9/11 action day
    with people demanding a real investigation. On 9/11, 30.000 people died
    because of hunger! When are we launching the WAR AGAINST HUNGER?!? Tanks to
    tractors!

  3. I think we seriously need to make better building codes when it comes to
    building tall like the WTC buildings. More people could have gotten out and
    been saved had the buildings have been shorter. We all know the truth of
    the matter is that people died because those buildings were way too high
    for even the highest fire engine ladder to reach. We need stricter building
    codes and to stop building that high in case something like this happens
    again. We would be stupid to think it wont happen again.

  4. well nobody 'on the outside' knows ANYTHING for sure. Except that EACH of
    the floors were artificially and catastrophically weakened (i.e. – lost
    100% of their bearing capacity). So the question is then 'how does that
    happen?'. Explosives would be the easiest way to do that. There are OTHER
    possibilities though – however FAR less likely. Come on – you have a high
    school education I presume. USE IT.

  5. This video has no ratings. That's because we need another rating button::
    "Complete Bullshit" button. This is an example of what happens to a nation
    and it's people when there are godless moralless monsters running amuk. Not
    in airplanes. In politics.

  6. History Channel, can I please have 3 minutes of my life back? What a load
    of garbage! Halfway through we are told "truss failure" and at the end we
    are told – as we could not undergo any analysis of the debris we can not
    come to a conclusion. I conclude that this is the worst documentary I have
    ever watched. Complete garbage!

  7. So the building was so poorly engineered that the weakening of one truss
    could bring the entire thing down, because of how it was interconnected? I
    guess state of the art in 1987 was to build huge house of cards structures.
    I don't buy it the thing was probably way over-engineered to take many
    times the loads that it had n it that day.

  8. @KnastPlanet I suppose President Obama must be part of the September 11
    "inside job", given that he has done absolutely nothing to look into your
    (ridiculous) claims…which would make it one of the most horrific crimes
    of the 20th century.

  9. I'm an architect and have a professional engineering license – and it
    doesn't matter HOW bad the construction/design – this simply DOES NOT
    happen to buildings. This is not a natural collapse in my opinion.

  10. WTC7 was professionally demolished, it fell with partly freefall
    accelleration symmetrically into its own footprint. They cann't rig a
    burning building in 7 hours, that means someone had foreknowledge! 9/11 was
    the only day in history that burning steestructures were able to
    symmetrically collapse into their own footprints, producing pools of molten
    metal (cf. firefighters) and ironrich microspheres (cf. particle atlas of
    World Trade Center Dust). 9/11 was an inside job!

  11. Well, it was partially built over a substation. Therefore, there was very
    likely certain degree of redundancy. But according to NIST theory there was
    none, just a house of cards.
