I agree with this guy, no way could it fall on it's own, I also find it odd that the city of new yorks underground system needed replaced due to increase in traffic, but the could not do anything because of the cost, the amount of cables and pipes for all the building that were behind the subway walls and under the streets (just a few feet). Now the city of new york does not have to worry about it anymore as the country will pick up the tab as it was mosty destroyed in the "attack".

Unbelievable. Simply unbelieveable. 3000 + people die - and you yell government conspiracy.

Have your head checked. :wacko:

Well, i don't believe that the pentegon was act of terrorism, CONSPIRISY!!!!, a plane with a 50 foot wing pan cannot make such a small hole, about 20ft wide. I think it was a shoulder mounted rocket

That's one hell of a shoulder fired rocket then. A LAW wouldn't do that nor a RPG or AT-4, a Javelin couldn't either, what kind of shoulder fired rocket are we talking now? It'd have to be something like a shoulder fired peacemaker missile to do that kind of damage.

In short it was not a shoulder fired rocket.

While I do agree that the whole attack on the 2 building was a terrorist attack Im heavely questioning the incident that happened with the Pentagon.. I mean, where did the plane go? You cant make a plane that big just disappear and it definitely wasnt destroyed in the crash totally.

mAcOdIn, maybe it was a jet that fired a missle?

yes. that's it. A U.S. plane blew up the pentagon, only moments after the al queida terrorists blew up the trade centers.

:blink:

An who exactly said that it was a US plane?

Do you have any other explanations to where the plane body went? It was a pretty big plane which made a damn small hole in the building... Might be hard to believe but its possible.. especially with Bush there.

Anyway, dont jump to conclusions.

Holy sh*t dude, you replied to every post in this forum???? You should really get off your computer and go outside more often.

okay then. a foreign fighter jet broke into US airspace and dive bombed the pentagon. yay. nice theory.

Ok, so you think it was a terrorist attack right? Where did the plane go? Why was the hole in the wall so small compared to the giant plane? Doesnt the Pentagon have missles that protect its air space? How come the plane wasnt shot down before impact? Answer these questions and maybe Ill believe you.

Against my better judgement, I'll enter this thread briefly... :unsure:

A plane heading into a building isn't all that big. Looking at it head-on, it is basically a skinny cylinder. The tail and wings are made of aluminum, and are pretty skinny, too, when viewed head on.

The entire plane body is made of aluminum. Pretty soft and malleable. Slamming into a concrete structure near cruising speed would SHRED the thing, for the most part. That, and the heat from the fireball would work to not leave a huge plane fuselage lying about. There are photos that show some plane wreckage, if you look about for them.

It's just that the plane did NOT try to crash-land safely in grass (where you see wreckage in news footage). It hit head-on into a large concrete structure.

into the building. See the hole? It crashed into the building.

Photos

pay close attention to photo 13.

Why was the hole in the wall so small compared to the giant plane?

read this:

Army General

Doesnt the Pentagon have missles that protect its air space?

http://www.fas.org/news/usa/2001/usa-010710.htm

missle test facilities, yes. On site, no.

come the plane wasnt shot down before impact?

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/09/11/...ain310721.shtml

because it was a hyjacked US airliner.

happy?

Actually, NO, Im not happy.

In all those pictures there is only one picture with a little piece of metal that doesnt have to come from the plane.

About the hole. If you look at it, it looks like the nose of the plane got into the building and it stopped at the wings. How come the wings didnt do any damage to the buildings and where are they? Aliens took them? Where is the rest of the body? BTW I didnt read that page because its too long, care to sum it up?

About the plane being hit before impact. Well I dont believe that either. Since the US government will do just about anything in the world to protect their President I dont understand why they just let a plane that big crash into a building where their whole government people work.. might be even the most important building for the government. But then again, maybe there was no plane?

One more thing. How come there is no video of the crash (unless I didnt see it..). I mean, the Pentagon must have a big number of cameras outside.

Anyone who thinks the twin towers could not fall after being hit by two planes is obviously ill informed about how buildings work.

I have studied structural engineering at university and have as a case study, covered the twin towers collapse in great deal.

Put simply, anyone who knows ANYTHING about steel frame structures knows how poor they perform in fire compared to a reinforced or in-situ concrete frame. An ordinary warehouse which is constructed from a steel frame which has been in a fire will not melt, but become plastic and thus not capable of holding any load.

The floors of the WTC were constructed using a techinque called truss flooring. Experiments show that even if one of these trusses is not adequately protected, then the whole floor will fail.

Once one floor has failed, the effect of "progressive strucutural collapse" will take place which basically means that once one floor has fallen onto the one below, the weight of it is too much for it to carry and thus it too collapses. Therefore resulting in the collaspe of the building as a whole.

I know for a fact that the WTC would collapse from the hit of those planes alone. What i am less sure of it the fact the the us government knew nothing about it before it happened.

got damnit, read the posts, you don't seem to be reading the posts, if you are, you need to go to school. he says, that when floor trusses fail, and when that floor fails and falls on top of the floor below, it's inevitable that it won't stop falling, cuz of the weight and momentum of the floors above it. This information is obvious information. I don't disagree with this. I disagree with wat caused the floors to fail in the first place. Learn to read plague, really learn how to read.

a bit more info about why the floors would fail:

the trusses of the floor structure were sprayed with a fire protective coat of cement based product which would shield it in the event of a fire, and should ensure that the floor maintains its fire integrity rating (ie it will last a certain amount of time before failing).

as important as it is that it is applied in the first place, is the fact that it has to be well maintained throughout it's life. maintenance photographs of the floor trusses in the world trade centre show that the floor was not well maintained and gaps were present in the fire protective coating.

once heat has reached this truss, it would fail, causing the whole floor to fail and trigger what i described in my last post.

some of you may THINK it may not have been enough for it to fall, but let's be honest, you don't have a clue what you are talking about and are only reading second hand sources from people who know equally as little as you know yourself. i however KNOW FOR A FACT that the planes impact would cause the towers to fall.

please don't try and refute evidence when you have no idea what on earth you are talking about :argh:

Why dont YOU go back and read YOUR posts and YOUR sources?

You said that one floor could support more than one floors..

You dont have any evidence either. All you gave here is some articles that anyone could have written. This guy (unless he is lying and I dont think he is cause theres no reason) apparently knows a whole lot more than you do.

is the "pretender' under one of us ? ( :rofl: )

o well..

i believe the usa goverment or CIA knows more than we will ever know.

I am still wondering why the biggest chief did stop with his work, i doubt its "personal" reasons.

What is the truth ?

the WINNER writes ALWAYS the truth, and COULD be happend something else. ( or it is an opinion of the most people)

even with facts, you can make your own opinion)

The truth is still an OPINION.

just like sience, or religion.

if you agree its true, if you don't its false.

watever man, you're the stupidest person ever, and that other guy, he knows nothing, he's just doing what im doing, but pretending that he has experience. anyways, believe what you want, i don't care no more.

Oh yeah, Im stupid.. OK.

Im not the person that says something and then 5 pages later says the exacts opposite.

How do you know he knows nothing? YOU are the one who knows nothing. You base whatever you believe on websites that little 5 year olds could have written.

    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless. A built-in digital processor adjusts frequency response to keep the sound balanced rather than overly boosted in any one area. They also include Active Noise Cancelling that adapts to your surroundings to reduce background noise along with a Transparency mode that lets outside sound in when you need awareness of what’s going on around you. Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content. Moreover, built-in voice-targeting microphones improve call quality. You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates.

    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
