Exactly true. And folks watching this on TV witnessed this in real time. It was probably the most heart-wrenching moment to see because even as quickly as that buckling occurred, it was still immediately perceptible and understood within that fraction of a second that all hope for saving anyone left in the building was removed, and that what was left to witness in the next moment was inevitable and horrifying.
To attribute this moment to the machinations of clever demolition experts is to unjustly blunt the magnitude and despair of the true cause and the victims caught within it. In my own opinion, anyway.
Having watched the events of 9/11 unfold in real-time, both on tv, out my east coast window, and by phone with my spouse (after far too many hours of terrifying lack of communication service), while he was watching out his window from the Bronx side, unable to come home (bridges and tunnels closed due to fear of further terrorism) and also unable to find his twin brother (a first responder NYC firefighter), I appreciate this comment more than you can know.
In reviewing the research to respond to this thread, three times I had to stop watching or listening to videos because I found myself broken down and audibly sobbing, tears running down my face, as though it happened yesterday.
Dr. Shades:
How so?
I can’t speak for canpakes, but my answer to this is to note that the theories that suggest “controlled demolition” also seem to without exception imply that there was “advance knowledge of the attacks among high-level government officials,” for some reason such as it was “carried out by the government as a false flag operation as a pretext for launching the War on Terror.”
Suggesting that 9/11 was cold-bloodedly planned and carried out, resulting in the massive and horrifying execution of their own people, simply to make a point, while ignoring the straightforward and well-proven conclusion that this was an act of war, is what “unjustly blunt[s] the magnitude and despair of the true cause and the victims caught within it.” in my opinion.
But. Moving on.

I'd be interested in you explaining your 9/11 CT positions more than you asking other posters to explain their emotional reactions to the terrorist attacks. You've gone essentially silent, and it'd be nice to see someone that most of us respect actually engage the topic thoughtfully so we can have a decent conversation about the incident and your beliefs vis a vis what occurred.

Agreed.
