In my world: Planes hit the buildings. Jet fuel started fires in several locations and had a massive fireball that escaped the building. Linear thermite cutters cut steel in several locations. Explosive Charges were timed to go off in sequence to bring the building down in a top down demolition that had never before been attempted. Fire behaved as it does in the real world. Jet fuel burned for only 5 minutes, which coincides with all calculations of the ignition and burning of a volatile fuel. Explosive charges sounded like bombs, and since they were placed in the core near the elevator by the ACE elevator company that was working in the building foir 8 months prior, and disappeared forever after the first plane hit. Several people who said they heard a bomb, actually heard a bomb. Fuel burned according to mathematical calculations. Steel behaved according to what is expected when exposed to temperatures of 1100 f for 5 minutes and then 700 f for 1 hour more. A building fell at a speed expected for demolition.
Yup... you totally make sense arguing that crazy shit.
How does your magical situation make more sense than planted explosives and cutters? Al Qaeda knocking them down with airplanes is easier for you to believe? Sad, reallySo... who did it? Who covered it up? How did something of this magnitude not get leaked? Why did they do it?
We know Al Qaeda hijacked the planes and crashed them into the buildings. If someone knew this was going to happen (in order to plant and ignite the thermite cutters), how has that not been discovered? It means a partnership between someone with access to the core structure of the WTC had to be in league with the terrorists who attacked the US that day.
Who? To what end? What amount of value could be worth the risk of being caught plotting to kill that many people? If Al Qaeada did the whole thing, why even use the planes? How did they hide that part of their plan? Where did they get the technical specifications on the building in order to pull it off?
If not them, who? Who would sacrifice that many lives and for what gain? If it was someone in the government, how has that not been uncovered given the turnover in the agencies / highest ranks when the democrats became elected?
The answer is either that your science is wrong (aka someone who took the measurements did not correctly predict the outcome) or this is some vast conspiracy involving international terrorism... and nobody got caught and nobody has spilled the beans.
I'm willing to guess that the answer is: terrorists did it. I don't need the Hardley Boys to solve this one. The real question is: who took a shit in the urinal? What would bring someone to do that? What motive or possible explanation exits for someone to shit in the urinal?
