I thought AE911T's strategy was to stay clear from anything but WTC7?

Oh I sent a copy of AE/911 truths face book page to the Tehran times awaiting an official reply, the first person couldn't give me one, but he did wish to know where Gage was from and how to find him.
I told him I didn't know! |

I was going to say that, knowing this is no great shocker here, AE911T has attempted to promote themselves as a scientific organization, but this and Tony's comment only illustrates that they are full on woo. I want to see how this plays at the next AIA convention:
"We feel there is ample scientific proof that requires a new investigation into WTC7 and oh, btw, 'They' dropped a whole building in Iran....IRAN!....to cover it up." I would almost write this off as the nonsense it is but there is ample proof GOING ON TODAY the effect fake news can have on the internet. |

Truthers and Debunkers alike should be interested in finding a channel of communication between people in that area to obtain dust samples. I'm not sure if you can mail that stuff, but surely we could find a few people to find or get someone else to find dust samples to compare to the WTC dust. Somebody involved would probably have to speak one of the many languages spoken in Iran. This would at least be useful to see what kind of iron particles may be in the dust.

When something that's so obviously the same thing happens again, I guess you have to say something about it, and if your line is that building 7 can't have collapsed due to fire, you have to insinuate that this case didn't either.
It's a pretty safe strategy since there's little chance the Iranians will conduct a highly publicised analysis of the building's rubble, searching for magical super-nano thermite or whatever, so there will always be wriggle room to claim they omitted (or avoided) some critical test. |

Do you mean explosions similar to what you see in the following photos? Photo 1 https://www.metabunk.org/data/MetaMi...93219a1052.jpg Photo 2 http://lin.contrailscience.com/skitc...406-071438.jpg |

Well, they made it official now.
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...300394148.html The sad thing is, that they have painted themselves into a corner with their stupid theory, that they MUST react to anything that might look like what happened on 9/11, to keep some credibility among their followers. Its all about their damn belief in a giant conspiracy. I wonder how many people will finally connect the dots and begin to understand, that fires can cause buildings to collapse. Without planes flying into them, or nearby building pieces falling on top of them. |

After what the Supreme leader said, firing squad.
He called the fire fighters Martars, and stated it was a fire induced collapse. http://english.khamenei.ir/news/4584...ith-veneration "In the Name of Him, the Exalted The tragic incident of a building in the city center catching fire and collapsing, is a source of deep sorrow, regret and concern for me. The courage and sacrifice of the firefighters who endangered their lives in an operation to save the people and who underwent a difficult test while sacrificing themselves in a dutiful manner, imbues ones’ heart with praise, admiration and also with concern and sorrow. Right now, all efforts should be channeled towards saving the lives of the casualties. Finding the causes of the incident is the next matter that should be attended to. I ask all officials to continue their jihadi effort as they have done so in recent hours and to give priority to this urgent duty over all other matters and statements. May God bestow His assistance, God willing Sayyid Ali Khamenei January 19, 2017" |

Reading Iranian state media, I found this interesting tidbit:

Unlikely.
Why should the USA or Israel set fire and CD charges to a building that mostl houses t-shirt shops? Such a claim would expose Iran to the ridicule that they can't keep the enemy from sabotaging buildings in her capital. Also, you greatly overestimate the extent to which things inside Iran are governed and influenced by the foreign conflicts with arch enemies. You underestimate the openness of the Iranian society. Sure, there's censorship, but it's nowhere near total, and you find pluralism everywhere. The simple fact that so many amateur photos and videos were posted on the internet demonstrated the relative openness of Iran. You get the same from the UAE, for example, but not from Saudi Arabia or North Korea. |

It is strange that Tony is silent on this shouldn't he be here with an FEA telling us how impossible it is for this building to have collapsed by fire?
Shouldn't they be studying this at Fairbanks? Shouldn't Korol be publishing a paper on it? I mean CTers are offly mum on this. |

My latest video shows you why, when the fire is hottest there are no flames.
When the carbon cools flames appear because soot is radiating black body radiation. Eventually the stump being a heat sink and green puts out the flame from the steam cooling it. The soot given off by a fire is simply a cooling fuel, if it encountered a zone where it could be reignited it can produce 1400C temperatures. |

Ah, well you don't know what was printed on those tee shirts. Might have been something really incriminating on one of them. And the only way to destroy the tee shirt without drawing attention to it and thereby arousing suspicion is obviously to destroy the entire building it's in.

One interesting observation of the Plasco collapse: When the interior begins to fail catastrophically, dust comes out of the windows. Nothing like that is seen with the East Penthouse collapse of WTC 7; building dust can only be seen emerging when the whole exterior starts moving down. More reason to get the impression that the East Penthouse might've fell way up high, far away from the fire.

The EPH was "way up high". It was on the roof. Doesn't get any higher up.
By definition the fire was below and the collapse initiated it is believed about 35 floors below the EPH. Please keep in mind with 7 we only have views of the building from one side. Don't read too much into one tiny anomaly you can't even put into proper context. |
