140. Off Topic-The Concrete Core Is Not A Theory-No Steel Core Columns Seen
This can only be a steel reinforced concrete core.



Wouldn't someone (more than 1) have talked by now?

You need to read a page that deals specifically with these issues.

I will point out some of the errors you’ve made.

If explosives were placed into the columns during the construction phase "for ease of demolition," how many people would have to be complicit in this to keep it quiet? You think it would be a small operation to put enough C4 or any other explosives into the columns to bring the towers down?


RE: the above.
Steel columns did not exist in the core. The core was built with steel reinforced concrete, shear wall construction. C4 was placed, encapsulated and preserved from the construction. Paraffin plugs provided easy access to set detonators. Special security was present and forced evacuations were conducted on floors before concrete was poured. People wondered what was happening.

Wouldn't one of the hundreds of steel workers, not to mention the general laborers, have seen something weird or seen an unexplained crew adding something not normally added to a steel construction building?


RE: the above
They did see stuff. Ask Phil Jayhan of Let’s Roll 9-11 about the forced evacuations.

Wouldn't at least one engineer have come forward and say that C4 was put in for ease of demolition at the time of construction?


RE: the above
The plans for the core were changed at the last minute. I guess you don’t have a clue about secrets are kept in the intelligence community and military.

If the explosives were put in afterwards, again, how big an operation was it? Wouldn't a janitor, night watchman, someone working late, someone have seen a strange crew working between the walls and come forward to say something?


RE: the above and setting detonators
Powerdown

----------------

According to Scott Forbes, a senior database administrator for Fiduciary Trust, Inc. – a high-net investment bank which was later acquired by Franklin Templeton – this is precisely what took place. Forbes, who was hired by Fiduciary in 1999 and is now stationed at a U.K. branch office, was working on the weekend of September 8-9, 2001, and said that his company was given three weeks advance notice that New York’s Port Authority would take out power in the South Tower from the 48th floor up. The reason: the Port Authority was performing a cabling upgrade to increase the WTC’s computer bandwidth.

Forbes stated that Fiduciary Trust was one of the WTC’s first occupants after it was erected, and that a “power-down” had never been initiated prior to this occasion. He also stated that his company put forth a huge investment in time and resources to take down their computer systems due to the deliberate power outage. This process, Forbes recalled, began early Saturday morning (September 8th) and continued until mid-Sunday afternoon (September 9th) – approximately 30 hours. As a result of having its electricity cut, the WTC’s security cameras were rendered inoperative, as were its I.D. systems, and elevators to the upper floors.

And the crew themselves, how many people do you think it would take to place enough explosives in the towers under covert conditions in the year and a half of * presidency? And do you think they would have started right off, or would have had to find the true loyalist, whomever, to do the job and keep it quiet?


RE: the above
The detonators could be placed in a matter of days. When the ownership changed there were reports of people not being able to use lower elevators. Consider that foreign nationals with military training were used disguised as elevator service and cable upgrade technicians.

Too bad the Luazo Bros don't post here, maybe they could enlighten us as to how many explosives would be needed to bring the towers down.


RE: the above
A calculation has been done. 14 tons of C4 would be a minimum. The expansion was great. More than that was used.

Posted by Show_Me _The_Truth
This theory just involves too many people to keep quiet.


If security personel was used exclusively to do the critical work, everybody else is looking at an obscure plastic coating. A large part of the men working on the towers, has died.
