    I do not like to be in big buildings. Could NOT live in a big city, it is bad enough in a small one.

    Damm every room is on fire, not a isolated flame site anywhere.

    No sense of urgency in the first vid. I guess they realize they can't do much about it.
    Stupid is forever, ignorance can be fixed.

    The high rise building engulfed in flames from the bottom up and still standing. The New York World Trade Center was an exception to Physics, the two towers engulfed in flames from the TOP and collapsed!!

    Don't forget, the buildings shown are burning themselves and their furnishings. The New York World Trade Center towers were brought down by combination of structural damage from the impact of the Boeing 767-200 airplanes along with the 23,000+ gallons of jet fuel that each plane carried which created an inferno that greatly weaken the remaining steel members. Without the jet fuel, there would not have been enough combustable material in the buildings to cause them to collapse, even from the impact of the airplanes.

    - No high rise building in history, including some that burned for weeks, ever collapsed from fire, except the 3 buildings of WTC.
    - How two planes caused 3 buildings to fall at free fall speed.. Defy physics.
    - Demolition engineers have dreamed about doing a perfect demolition job like the 3 buildings of WTC.
    - It is impossible for any structure to fall within its own footprint without controlled demolition. In one day 3 buildings did the impossible.
    - Jet fuel/ kerosene fire is not sufficient to melt or even weaken the thick steel structure of WTC.
    - The wreckage/ steel rubbles (crime scene evidence) quickly removed and destroyed. The steel rubbles shipped overseas to Chinese smelters.
    - Pictures taken after the collapse of the WTC showed that the core support steel columns appeared to have been flamed-cut at a perfect 45-degree angle.
    - " All three buildings of the World Trade Center was destroyed by carefully planned, orchestrated and executed controlled demolition". Professor Lynn Margulis, Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

    Interesting. I see attribution only for the last, quoted statement. There was a Lynn Margulis at Amherst, though she was a professor of evolutionary biology and never claimed expertise in structural engineering or material science. Your quote came from the book ‘Lynn Margulis: The Life and Legacy of a Scientific Rebel’ by Dorion Sagan, Chelsea Green Publishing, 2012.

    At least in the sections I read, she also provided no attribution or basis for her statements. Hard to know what to make of it all…

    You wouldn't expect attributions for things like: "Jet fuel cannot melt steel beams", and "The third building was not hit by a plane".
