Reply #42: Why would you need more explosives? [View All]

[Ghost in the Machine]

Apparently, the failure of one truss was enough to bring the building down, in regards to WTC 7.

Why wouldn't a few strategically placed C4 charges be enough to do the same damage, with the same results?

For the sake of debate, why couldn't someone with access to the blueprints, like a "security company", have an engineer look over the drawings and figure out where some vulnerabilities were in the structural system and exploit those vulnerabilities? How many occupants, employees, etc. are going to be paying attention to the security company employees who are there "upgrading" the security system?

As for the Twin Towers, I don't think anyone was worried about making it "look like" a controlled demolition. With plans already in place for planes to hit the buildings, intending to kill thousands of citizens, there is no need for the safety measures of a "controlled" demolition. Quite the opposite would be true: Planes hit the buildings, things explode, people die. An unconventional, top-down explosive demolition. I believe they thought the Tower/s would topple, causing damage to surrounding buildings.


Peace,
