That would be Farsi (Persian language) - a Indo-European language and as such a cousin of Sanskrit, Greek, German and English, but not of Arabic. It is however predominantly written in a variety of the Arabic script.
To demonstrate the relationship to English: The Persian words "modar", "dochtar", "baradar" mean "mother", "daughter" and "brother", respectively. "Pedar" (father) is closer to the Latin "pater". |

Two high buckets with hoses appear to be attacking the locations where the greatest fire involvement is occurring. First failure occurs at one of those areas and pretty obviously involved floor collapse. The smoke and dust blow-out a second or two before first exterior frame failure.
One of the buckets seems to dodge being affected at all by debris, but the other swings back and forth. Very fortunate for the guys up there. |

Here's the point where Tony and the rest of the conspiracy crew start shifting goalposts.
This collapse wasn't rapid enough. This collapse wasn't symmetrical enough. The building was only 17 stories. |

Doesn't look like very significant fires. Tiny. Barely see them. Must have been explosives....

I've lost count as to how many times those ejections were explained to Truthers as they continued to reject the laws of physics and substitute disinformation even though I'd posted photos and videos of the same ejections taken during Verinage demolition operations that did not require the use of explosives. |

Even Robert McCoy (which was, or is, a chairman of AE911T) explained that that's expected in a pancake collapse.
[...] But it's going to come down in a pancake fashion, in a staccato kind of way, bang-bang-bang-bang-bang as it comes. It's not going to come as a smooth fall. And you're going to see puffs of pulverizing concrete, each time a floor... a series of floors hits another floor. I didn't see that. I saw billowing columns of dust when I viewed the videos. [...]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfgXDnn8V_I (That he couldn't see them speaks poorly of his observation skills, because they are clearly there. But the point is, it's expected in a pancake collapse.) Also, that video was previously posted by Benthamitemetric. |

I don't think anybody ever said that every single ejection of dust were explosives going off. There are also those infamous ejections directly on the corners of both towers. The ejections you see in the videos are only going down a few floors away from where the collapse started. What would be interesting would be to see a hypothetical 100 story Plasco building collapse.

I've put on my 9/11 conspiracy shoes and came up with this repeat of history on the opposite side of the globe.
Iran plans to extend sectarian policies far beyond Iraq, Syria Iranian aggression could expand to Bahrain, Yemen, Mosul and Syria, an Iranian top commander said, as it continues to apply sectarian policies to countries in which people suffer most http://www.dailysabah.com/mideast/20...ond-iraq-syria + Plasco Iran Building Collapse Tehran https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov9Q9RME4PM = 1/19 Conspiracy or (9/11 Conspiracy) in reverse . |

This changes everything.
Gage, Szamboti will accept that fire alone can collapse tall steel buildings and abandon the claim none can. They will abandon the thermite, silent explosives and Silverstein made out like a bandit fantasies; that Bazant, NIST, ARUP, Weidlinger and dozens of domestic and foreign fire and structural engineers are not after all liars, frauds, paid shills of the US government, but to be admired and respected among the best of their profession; that Bush , NYPD, FDNY and thousands of government employees did not attack New York but True Believers; that they have been mistaken all these years and apologize to have falsely accused the innocent and absolved the guilty; and that AE/911T will stop taking money and honorably close. Of Course Not ! |

Did an explosion cause the collapse of the Plasco building?
When viewing video of the collapse of the 17 story Plasco building in Tehran it appears there were a couple of violent expulsions (not just billowing smoke) just before the back of the building started to come apart.
Could an explosion of something inside the building have caused the walls to collapse? |

No. It's simply an example of the adherents of a religion constructing a narrative that allows them to ignore the latest demonstration that their dogma is at odds with reality.

Why am I not surprised, I expected a better more logical excuse from you Tony, any explosion would be a fuel air blast not high explosive!
I thought you would try to say because the building had such a high fuel loading being basicly a textiles work shop, that would have cause exceedingly high temperatures for such a long period that that would have doomed the building. But a fuel air blast, no way it was a fire with stack effect, and a heavy fuel load, just like the towers and building 7. |

Termites. It's the only logical conclusion.
I'm not yet sure how the termites survived for so long while fires raged through the building but they were probably protected with some kind of insulation. |

We need to take it easy on Tony today, his whole world just collapsed,
He might be on the verge of a major logical breakthrough, but I doubt it very, very, very, much. |
