WTC BUILT TO WITHSTAND AIRLINER IMPACT

freepressinternational.com

>>Frank A. Demartini, on-site construction manager for the World Trade Center, spoke of the resiliance of the towers in an interview recorded on January 25, 2001. "The building was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it. That was the largest plane at the time. I believe that the building probably could sustain multiple impacts of jetliners because this structure is like the mosquito netting on your screen door -- this intense grid -- and the jet plane is just a pencil puncturing that screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen netting".

Demartini, who had an office on the 88th floor of the North Tower, died on 9/11/2001 in the World Trade Center attack.

Architects that designed New York's World Trade Center Towers expressed shock on September 11th that the 110-story landmarks in Lower Manhattan collapsed after each tower was struck by a hijacked passenger jetliner according to MedServ News.

Lee Robertson, the WTC project's structural engineer, addressed the problem of terrorism on high-rises at a conference in Frankfurt, Germany, one week prior to 9/11, according to Chicago engineer Joseph Burns.

Burns said Robertson told the conference, "I designed it for a (Boeing) 707 to hit it." <<

>>Airplane strikes 'do not' destroy skyscrapers. A bomber strike to the Empire State Building during World War II 'did not' harm that building.

The World Trade Center towers were designed to 'survive' a strike by a Boeing 707. The 767 is more massive, so the building was stressed near its design limits. But if a failure had occurred at that moment, it would have been at the point of highest levered stress, near the base of the tower, and the tower would have fallen over like a giant tree in a forest windstorm.

That, of course, did not happen.

"Fires do not destroy skyscrapers. Never in the history of steel frame structures has a single one been destroyed by fire".<<

> Firefighters who had reached the eightieth floor of the north tower reported they were eyewitnesses to fact much of the fire caused by burning jet fuel had by then largely burned out, although some burning and smoldering areas still remained.

>>Firemen Discuss Detonators in WTC

newsgateway.ca

In an interview with broadcaster and author Alex Jones, Andreas von Bulow (former Minister of Technology in the German government which had supervision of the BND - German Intelligence) comments: "And, the firemen of New York, they were able to come to the floor where the fires were burning, and they said, the fire commander said he needed two teams, small, to fight these fires and then it’s finished. So the heat, it is impossible that the heat was as high as it has been written in the papers and in all the media."

Alex Jones, "And then, and then the feds declared that all firefighter tapes malfunctioned, turns out that wasn’t true; we’ve got copies of them. And it did say that the firefighters said the fires were out or almost out.<<

Hi Searle,

Re: If you don't like my references, I am sure others on the thread will be only too happy to oblige you with links you might prefer.

Actually, the best thing to do with a dishonest pest like LPS5 is to simply ignore him. Your post contains links that he's seen before on this thread and are readily accessible to anyone doing the least bit of due diligence on the 9/11 topic.

What you must realize is that LPS5 has only a narrow intention here. To be a disruptive force of evil and to bore the bejesus out of any rational thinker who happens to lurk on this thread.

LPS5 has absolutely no interest in arriving at the true facts about 9/11. His ever effort is aimed at obfuscation, obstruction of justice and deception.

I'm really quite surprised you don't take offense to this odious scoundrel as I have.
