Um - no, that's actually not true. You chose to ignore the facts that I did state. Using the example of experience is not a game. Its real life. There is a reason that, generally speaking, people without credentials dont achieve levels of being "an authority figure". Its not about the piece of paper, its about the knowledge gained. Its not about reading something on a website - its about seeing it happen in real life, and seeing why things do and dont work. I dont care what your opinion is, I do care that you have made statements regarding facts that simply arent true (I will use the 757 engine statment as an example). Yes, that entire chain of events was technically feasible.
And tell me this. What would you tell a six year old that argues with you that Santa Clause is real (assuming you weren't concerned with their feelings)? The reason they can believe is because they haven't experienced enough to be able to rationally make the connections. I see the same thing here.
If all this stuff that you've gathered from these various websites were true, more credible sources would have been all over it, and you'd see nothing but this on the news. I fear that your sources are the modern equivelent of tabloid news papers - I can start a website and put anything I want on it, and do it without retribution.
The civil engineers are saying that the buildings may not have been built to the specs that were claimed by the builder. They couldn't prove that because the debris was removed in a manner that facilitated them finding the bodies, as opposed to a method that allowed the engineers to study the dynamics of the collapse.
As far as explosions after the fact, consider this.
You have many broken gas lines. You have uncontrolled electrical sparking. What do you think is going to happen when those two are combined in a devastation zone like there was there? Have you ever been in a building right after an earthquake almost completely demolished it? There is gas everywhere, and there are electrical lines everywhere. I almost didn't make it out because of the gas. The building next to mine exploded - but it had been relatively stable during the quake - same effect as #7. And its not just the gas that can cause the explosions - its the dust. Once the ppm gets high enough, just a static spark can blow up an entire building (being from where you are from, do a search on grain elevator explosions).
Gotta run - wifey says she wants some...
