For the pancake theory to work it relies on one single event happening. This event was witnessed by millions, it being that a single floor suffered catastrophic failure and the massive load above became dynamic. The only debate here is whether the damage from the planes, the fires or a combination of the two caused it to happen.

Do you wish me to prove it ?
I have no desire neither to listen to any more fruitcake theories.
State your case or simply keep quiet.
EDIT, infact your continual habit of editing you posts is really tiresome, to the point I have no desire whatsoever to take this debate with you any further.
Believe what you will pal, I really don't give a damm.
The sky is green, why? because I say so.
THE BUILDINGS DID NOT COLLAPSE FASTER THAN FREEFALL.
At the very least the government investigations are a half baked farce, the comission report ignores building 7 entirely... this is the first steel framed high rise building in history to of supposedly of collapsed due to fire! yet the evidence was shipped away to Asia before it could be anaylised.. what kind of level of ignorance
does that take. If I was an engineer id want to know why a steel building has collapsed due to fire for the first time in history in the way it did! (and then why not patent controlled collapse by fire!), its outrageously unproffessional and yet people want to say its of no significance and your an idiot if you propagate descent on the Issue, well I say those people are idiots for not wanting to ask questions about such lack of proffessionalisim for a full and proper scientific investigation at a crime scene.
The steel super structure that surrounded the core suffered a catastrophic failure and collapsed
• despite a complete burn-out, the strength provided by a technical concrete floor, plus the passive fire resistance of the building's concrete core and frame, prevented the building from collapse. • the only part of the building to collapse was the network of steel perimeter columns supporting the slab on the upper floors.
Crucially, the building remained standing despite the intensity of the fire. An investigation is underway between Spanish technical agency Intemac and UK authorities including Arup Fire, the University of Edinburgh and the concrete industry including Cembureau, BCA and The Concrete Centre. Preliminary findings suggest that a combination of the upper technical floor and the excellent passive fire resistance of the tower's concrete columns and core prevented total building collapse.

why dont you do us all a favour and back your points up with evidence? references perhaps?Glirk Dient said:Why is everyone worried about the steel melting causing it to collapse? It didn't need to melt, just heat up and bend, and with the massive amount of force on it then it wouldn't take very much to bend it.
B_MAN said:also, how do you explain the fact that not a single modern steel reinforced building has collapsed due to fire? even ones that have burned for DAYS?!
and yet, the WTC1&2 collapsed after less than 2 hours?

Using an analogy in which the compared objects or events are fundamentally and relevantly different in some way, without addressing the differences, invalidates the analogy.
all disproven by studies(models) done by FEMA and NISTAngry Lawyer said:I don't know - the sheer impact of an *aeroplane* might have distorted the frame enough to cause the fire softening to be big enough for a collapse?
I mean, Christ, an aeroplane hit it. A damn big one. It's going to reduce structural integrity all over the place. Hell, I'm surprised nearby buildings suddenly didn't implode out of sheer fright.

Are you asking for me to find a reference that steel is weaker when it is heated up? Its the basic laws of physics...it doesn't need to be melted before you can bend it.B_MAN said:why dont you do us all a favour and back your points up with evidence? references perhaps?

Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F). However, experts agree that for the towers to collapse, their steel frames didn't need to melt, they just had to lose some of their structural strength--and that required exposure to much less heat.

Because there has been no incident like this. Find a building hit by the same plane full of jet fuel that had the exact same structural design and materials. The other incidents were not like this. A plane hits a building...takes out a few supports and engulfs a few levels with flamable jet fuel which burns very hot. That jet fuel and the pressure of the floors above it would be enough to cause the steel to bend causing a collapse.
Oh...as for the evidence here you go

Didn't you read the post dalamari just made?B_MAN said:every expert out there will tell you that the temperatures inside the building were not significant enough to melt the steel
absolutely.kaf11 said:Didn't you read the post dalamari just made?
It took 1,389 kg (1.4 tons) of HMX to create the unaccounted air volume. This is an above normal quantity of explosives used in controlled demolition.
It has been asserted that the WTC 1 weighed 200,000 tons.
i am in fact, and open minded individual who's simply trying to undercover the truth.. something that has been distorted from day one
You've already debunked this yourself:you havent bothered to answer any of the reasonable questions ive presented you in my post(s) above
[...]
unfortunately, the jet fueled burned off in several minutes... which is not nearly enough time to completely destabilize the structure
Clearly the fire did not vanish after "just ten minutes""..the resulting inferno was intensified by the combustible material inside the buildings, including rugs, curtains, furniture and paper. NIST reports that pockets of fire hit 1832°F."
thats funny cause the building in madrid burned for two days with combustable material like curtains and PAPER in too.. and THE WHOLE BUILDING WAS ON FIRE.... hmmm
