Politics : Bush-The Mastermind behind 9/11? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I'm asking the questions. I've seen no spec from the WTC construction documents that tells us what the floors were made of.

I question whether the floors were a lightweight un-reinforced concrete, because wind load on the exterior columns would be transferred to the floors and then redistributed to other parts of the building to be resolved in over turning to the foundation. That's the typical method as it's been explained to me. Perhaps something different was done on the WTC towers.

The truth starts at the spec for the floors, don't you agree? Howe's speculations are quite annoying. And Howe talks of Wylie Coyote...LOL!

He's not interested in the truth...only interested in propping up his heroes...Bush and Cheney.

There was a crime committed in NYC on 9-11. I think we all agree on that. The crime scene was wiped clean, and we still don't have a definitive report on what happened. The evidence of the steel was cleared away and melted down. That should concern us all.

Some of the few samples that remained,as part of memorials, were tested by Jones...he found signatures of Thermite and Thermate. That is quite disturbing information, don't you think?

<<< I can't imagine why a weak form of concrete would be used if the importance of strength was obviously shown by the fact that steel reinforcement was used. >>>

You're not in construction or building design are you. The floor slab concrete in a building with a steel structure and a pan-deck floor is primarily for leveling. Something you can build partition walls on and lay carpet on. It is not the structure of the building. The steel floor joists are the floor structure.

I already showed you the construction of the floors and yet you just refuse to learn. That's called willful ignorance.



The concrete was not reinforced, it was poured on a thin metal plate which was supported by the truss.
