Re: Lots of disbelief
Anyway, my point is that due to his airforce training my friend has become rathe skeptical of jet fuel's ability to take down the towers.
Okay, let's say for instance it wasn't just jet fuel combined with an enormous explosion on a structure under stress from its own weight and wind. It had to be something else... What else could it be?
Whatever else it had to be, had to have been placed pretty much throughout the structure (we know it wasn't bomb blasts located in just the basement or something like that). Indeed it had to have been placed throughout both structures.
So how exactly could such material have been placed in buildings crawling with people, including security, such that no one would have noticed? Wouldn't there be reports of mysterious vans unloading unknown material or something?
And then how was it triggered? It would have had to have been done before knowing whether the pilots would have been successful hitting the buildings. How would they know how to place all that material in such a way that a plane impacting teh building wouldn't disable the massive wiring job they'd have had to place?
Indeed, what would happen if the planes missed entirely. Since one plane went down, is there a building loaded with explosives sitting somewhere ready to be taken down in a few seconds? Or was it just the WTC towers that were rigged?

Re: Lots of disbelief
Just to let you know, I wasn't trying to be hard on you, just raising the next logical questions in general and putting them out there for anyone to answer.

Re: Lots of disbelief
the weight of the tower relevent when the planes struck so high?
The weight of the structure above the impact would cause stress on that portion above the impact. As it begins to falter of itself it would put greater pressure on the parts below it... I think.
Physicists and architects would be helpful at this point.
the towers looked much more like implosions.
I agree, but that is what was behind my questions. I have seen how intricate of setups implosions are to create, and it involves a lot explosives and wiring for those explosives to pull off. I don't see that going unnoticed.
