Unlike what he said, the jet fuel didn't melt all 200,000 pounds of steel, it only melted the steel on the few floors it crashed into. When the steel melted, then the building above came down and had enough impact to crush the rest of the building

aww... boo hoo. but but but... he has no credibility....

Editaeoiruskl:

you don't seem to be reading the posts... i never said that if you heat iron/steel, and it wouldn't bend. but what i have said was, there was no inferno to heat up the steel to that point.

I'm pretty sure this is what you are thinking, plane crash, boom, break hole in building, make fire, big smoke, burn burn, large fire, feed on office supplies, melt, fall, dusty, OH NO!...

But what you don't realize is, the office supplies weren't all pushed up and stacked against the steel, all the heat wasn't concentrated on the steel, remember... people said the wieght of the building was held by the outer structure walls, but the fire was inside the building, so no heat, could've melted the outer side of the wall. Just remember, it wasn't a forest fire in there, and lots of smoke doesn't always mean a very intense fire.

And you have credibility? NO. And stop with the boo hoo, you are making yourself look even younger than 2 years old.

You said that the temperature up there couldnt have gotten so hot to melt steel. But it didnt have to! All it needed to do was weaken it.

The outer side of the building was gone lol. Did you forget that a plane crashed into the buildings???? So what about what people said. You said stuff as well and its clearly bs.

You base your whole "theory", if it eves yours, on the fact that fire couldnt have caused what happened. Did you forget the crash? Do you have any idea of how strong the impact was when the plane hit the building? Any other building would probably fall over just because of the impact.

If you say soo...

Anyways, I can't wait till that Documentry, Fahrenheit 9/11, comes out. Hope you dumb ones go see it, unless you guys wanna make excuses to not see that movie too... bleh, that's all i hear from you people, excuses, excuses...

We dumb ones? LMAO. Who is the 2 year old here? YOU! Who bases his whole "theory" on one website on the net that a 1 year old wrote? YOU! Who writes "boo hoo" in every post? YOU! You sir is the dumb one. STFU and get out of the thread.

It only takes 350 degrees farenheit to cause steel an inch thick to soften enough to easily bend. as a welder, I heat, bend and cut steel a great deal. Do you think we can survive temps of 2000 degrees? Think about it. Steel does not have to get that hot to bend. Add that to the pressure of the above floors, the shifting of weight from the steel which broke on impact, and it was only a matter of time before it came down. No big mystery to those of us who work with steel all the time.

wow... i can't believe duhk believes that garbage.

I watched a video in my engineering class last semester... i forget what it was called - something like "Why the towers fell" or some crap... but that's besides the point.... here i go... i don't know if any of this information has been posted because i stopped going through the thread at liek the fourth page -- duhk's garbage just made me sick.

i found it. here's a link to the video... well, information about the video.... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wtc/

Ya know what... i was going to start explaining what happened... but i'm not. if you want to know why the towers collapsed - go to that website. and for specifics... go here

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wtc/collapse.html

and watch the videos and everything - just buy it...

duhk you should definately look at that. it's an interview with many people - including the lead designer of the WTC at the time, and most of his team, as well as expert civil engineers.

That is supposed to be a woman in those pictures?

The first picture seems legit.

The second is a detail zoom that shows some sort of structure.

The third is a manipulated image that puts in detail where none exists. It is an algorithm that guesses what shape(s) could make up big blocks as shown in image #2.

Is this supposed to be proof that there was no inferno? That jet fuel didn't explode/burn in the building?

There is photographic evidence of two airliners slamming into the buildings, yeilding fireballs in both cases as the jet fuel burned.

How is a picture that shows debris proof that there was no large fire?

Hm... the fireball, maybe that was where the fire went, in those big fireballs. And if there was a large fire, you should see the large fire, and that women wouldn't be there. Stop making excuses.

you do realize how ridiculous you sound right?

i am so confused on how you can watch the videos of the planes hitting the buildings, watch the towers burn, and then fall.... and then say it's all fake - and that we're making excuses....

thinking.gif am i missing something?

This is what I think, in regards to what the person in the webpage says...

Refering to my picture, the straight lines of the building are the angles viewable by the public. The dashed lines are the braces, not seen by the public eye. My theory on how the towers collapsed is as follows. As seen in the picture, you can see the general location of where the planes hit, not exact, but relatively close. Now, when the planes themselves hit, they took out some of the braces, how many, I don't know, but some, so that in itself is enough to lower the structure's integrity in itself by more than half. So, braces are left, not many, but enough to keep the structure standing. Now whether the braces themselves melted, causing the floors to collapse or not, I dont know, but think of this... Whenever concrete is heated to high temps, the moisture in it starts to boil, wanting to escape and this builds pressure. Now, due to the load on the concrete from the above floors, the pressure can find an easier way of escaping, by exploding. Now, this concrete helped support the beams in place, and since some of the beams are now missing, it puts even more load on the beams, all of this, and maybe even the heated beams, caused the top to collapse...

Also, he mentions how uniform the building were after collapse, and tries to prove how this is possible. He also says that there is no way the concrete dust formed was possible. I'll answer this in one simple answer... When something collapses like the towers did, the weight of whatever is falling is going to be threefold as it hits. Now, the weight of the upper structure falling downward is increased 3 fold. There is no way that the floor could accept that kind of weight, thus buckling. Alll of this crashing down, like dominos. So, he thinks that the top should have at least, in some portion, stayed in tact. Everytime it takes out a floor, it creates momentum. So when if has no floors to land upon, thus, finally finding the ground, it hts, and hard. It is like a car, going extremely fast, hitting a brick wall.... Flattens out like a pancake... And the concrete dust? Concrete crashing against concrete, breaks into smaller pieces of concrete, which, smack against each other making smaller pieces of concrete... This happening, over, and over, makes tons of dust...

In my opinion, I can't understand how he believes this didn't happen....

Those pics are off, the plane wingspans are bigger then the building from side to side....

Duhk, I didnt want to have to say this but you are an IDIOT.

We give excuses? What have you been doing since the beginning of this thread? Giving facts? Yeah right lol. Facts made up by little 2 year olds like you.

You deny things that happened that you SAW with your own eyes. How can you keep denying it over and over? I wonder if that stupid website is the only website you go to except for Neowin?

3 people that obviously know a whole lot more than you will ever know have proven you wrong and you still dont believe it? Just get to hell out of this thread already.

If what I hear is true and there are going to be attacks on the US this summer then maybe you should go stand on a tall building. Maybe then you will believe it?

gosh, soo many more excuses, and like CrimsonBlur has said.

People that resort to name-calling, yelling and unrelated references in a dispute of any kind are any combination of the following three things: 1) lying 2) incopetent 3) bias. In more simeple words (which you may require), in a debate such as this, these three things would be translated as so: 1) wrong (and maybe also lying) 2) no clue what they are talking about 3) have a pre-determined conclusion regardless of any and all evidence presented to them

You insulted me earlier so does it mean that same to you?

Say whatever you want about me, I dont really give a damn. Just remember that Im not the only one here.

About what CrimsonBlur said:

1. How can I or anyone else be lying here? We are stating our opinions!

2. Who is around here? NO ONE so shut up. Hell, even CrimsonBlus isnt.

3. You are the biased one.

4. You are the wrong one here sir. You are basing everything you say on ONE website that like I said earlier anyone could have written.

5. YOU have no clue what you are talking about for the same reason in 4. 3, THREE people that know what they are talkinga about and studied this in school have told you exactly what happened yet you still go back to that stupid website.

6. You have a pre-determined conclusion about this! You obviously dont listen to anything me or anyone else tells you.

Edited by PlagueWielder3k

You insulted to me first, so what he said doesn't apply to me, cuz i only insulted you cuz you did it first. so yeah, sucker.

aselkral;krw:

so anyways... i guess you'll never understand. But i'll explain it one more time, and maybe you'd get it this time. I don't insult people unless i'm insulted first. And I only insult back just to give them a taste of their own medicine. You can insult me all you want, I don't care, I take nothing personal on the internet. But I do insult back just to **** the person off, cuz it's fun to see them mad, and to see what other pathetic insults they got. Well to top it all of, grow up, and you'll understand.

Edited by duhk

You insulted me again now lol. And you just proved once again that you are 2 years old. "He insulted me first so I insulted him" Just get out.

And does it matter who started it? He didnt say anything about who insulted first so YEAH it applies to YOU.

well yes, it does matter, cuz there's no reason to insult a person in the first place. So if you're the person who started it, you had no reason to insult a person in the first place, unless of the reason said by CrimsonBlur. So if you started it, the person who got insulted, has a reason to insult back. See, you don't understand, so grow up already.

Will both of you knock it off!

You are both acting like petty children arguing over who insulted whom first, and whether some other individual's quote (which has oddly been transormed into a sacred "rule") applies to the first person or both.

That is no "insult", it is a cold, hard fact.

There is no longer any discussion here to be had. Only bickering back and forth. Please take your personal arguments to PMs.

    • Age of Empires Mobile comes to PC, here's how to carry over progress from your phone by Ivan Jenic Image: YouTube/Microsoft Microsoft just released Age of Empires Mobile for PC. The game, officially called Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, is available for free on Steam and Microsoft Store, almost two years after its initial release for handheld devices. Age of Empires is one of those franchises that entire generations grew up with. The original came out in 1997, and immediately got people hooked to building civilizations and crushing their enemies on the battlefield. However, the franchise today is a far cry from its roots, as Age of Empires Mobile is, well, a game optimized for handheld devices, and not a classic RTS title we’ve all loved for years. And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. The PC version is still a mobile game at its core, but it’s been optimized for desktop play. There’s mouse control, full keyboard compatibility, and a refined UI. Microsoft also refreshed the visuals with some 4k textures, so the game should look better on larger screens. The game supports Crossplay, so you can switch between your phone, tablet, and PC without losing anything. But linked progress doesn’t come out of the box, as you have to enable it first. Here’s how to link your progress: On your mobile device, open Age of Empires Mobile. Go to Settings (Gear icon) > Account. Select Bind Account and choose a sign-in option. Once you enable account binding, sign in on PC using the same method, and your progress will be accessible across all your devices. Xbox Game Pass subscribers also get a bonus reward pack on PC, which includes: 1 Monthly Pass Token 1 Custom Resource Chest 10 Universal 60-Minute Speed-Ups 1,000 Empire Coins Exclusive Player Portrait Frame You can find more info about Age of Empires Mobile: PC Edition, as well as download links, on the Age of Empires official website.
    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
