3. I know that there was an unscheduled shutdown of the security systems in the towers the weekend before 9/11
4. I know that the security company has a blood relation to of all people, BUSH.

1. Gravity is straight down--what's supplying a sideway force? Like we were always told in physics class--"Draw the free body diagram"
2. WHAT do you actually see? Puffs of smoke/dust? You even say you don't know exactly what.
3. Documented somewhere accessible? And how many other unscheduled shutdowns were ther in the buildings' history.
4. Again, documented somewhere accessible, sounds more like urban legend.

Don't forget, this is a magazine that in the '50s/'60s would have had us believe that by now we'd all be flying around in our personal jets that we kept in our garages next to our nuclear powered cars. I'm still waiting!

I'm not going to be a loon about it, but I'll always say I have doubts.

I'm just curious, where does your info of an unscheduled security system shut down come from? And in such large buildings I would assume a complex system, subject to maintenance issues.
D you also have info for the buildings' history for how many unscheduled shut downs occurred when no big events followed shortly afterwards?

It was a while ago, and I can't find it at this point. I did come up with this though....
Considered that too, but all buildings, straight down? No matter what, the integrity of one side would have to give before the other. It just doesn't jive, not more than once like that.
I'm sorry, it reeks. I'm not going to even think about accusations because it's far fetched, and there is no concrete evidence, but it still reeks.

Do they have any comparisons?. Structural engineers usually have concrete theories. I am curious about this now. It is a science-at least- unlike politics.
I agree w/you- Yap- It is sort of upsetting to even think about.
