WTC built purposely to destroy... What the?

http://letsrollforums.com/building-w...th-t24622.html

WTF is this crap! Most of this insanity fueled horsepoop is unfathomable but the main points (I think) are:

*Some nutjob claims NYC buildings were constructed with demolition charges already in place. He might mean WTC only but it implies something more.

*The towers were poorly and weakly constructed for the very purpose of destroying them in a 1976 false-flag terrorist attack.

*For reasons that are definitely not explained despite the text, the above mentioned operation never happened and the buildings literally began to corode.

*The "perps" all got together in 2001 to carry out the original plan (usual suspects, Bush, the Bin Laden family and a lot of jewish names and connections).

ETA: Also this "article" mentions the 93 bombing as a failed false flag that despite the perps efforts to destroy the buildings, the method failed. Again, why bother to truck bomb the north tower if the perfect plane-based plan was drawn up for 1976? This is ten kinds of stupid, and then some!

The big problem?

Explosives and detonators have expiration dates.

All exord has a shelf life, and dets. deteriorate quicker than HE.

Somebody would have had to go through the building at regular intervals replacing all the det cord and dets - and then the HE itself would also have to be replaced.

Someone on AE911's facebook page suggested it was the Japanese - they designed them, was their argument.

Apparently this dolt didn't take into account that actual Americans built them.

Minoru Yamasaki was a second generation Japanese AMERICAN, born in Seattle.

Do Truthernuts have any idea how much work is done on big office buildings on a regular basis? People are in there with every kind of renovation and upgrade and retrofit imaginable. And no one noticed anything suspicious, or accidentally set off explosives while sweating some new plumbing?

Let's Roll is where the really stupid and insane Truthers hang out, as compared to the morons and slightly bonkers balance of the movement.

Phil Jayhan who runs that forum, came up with the "no-staircases" theory:

Quote:
9. The truth is you never once cleaned the stairwells at the world trade center and that your entire story is a fraud, and you are a total fraud Willy. There was no stairwells at the world trade center. 16 miles of missing staircase is an impossibility under every circumstance but one. That they were never there to begin with.

Let's not forget that it was 911thology who claimed he had exclusive knowledge that the towers were constructed with 150 kiloton mini-nukes in the plans. The rabbit hole runs deep, very deep.

HA now that's a good one, kind of like saying the Titanic was constructed with it's own built-in atomic-iceberg.
I wish these God damned loony twoofers would learn to talk out of the correct orifice.

Isn't he also cited as an expert on the low-altitude performance of the 757?

That he is so obviously insane blows all the credibility out of the no-planer,, incompetent hijacker and other aviation-related woo.

Right. And somebody is going to go in their and swap out blasting caps with a bunch of high-powered radio transmitter towers all around them.

And lightning is never going to strike the building.

Considering this guy's extreme level of crazy, I'd be surprised if he was actually capable of recognizing a 757. Even if it walked up and humped his leg.

Phil Jayden is also the one who claims there were 351 FDNY members killed on 9/11.

How he gets that number, I have no idea. Every list I have ever seen is 343. Even the FDNY's own page lists 343.

But nope, he's right. I organized a spreadsheet with all the members names, linked to the form that I got it from, and sent it to him.

He didn't look at anything, but still claimed he was right.

This toddler-like fight between Phil Jayhan and septemberclues' Simon Shack amused me.

I have 3 words for these two crazy scumbags. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Honestly, it's like they are trying to out-loony each other. The pair of them are severely frigging unhinged. The whole thing pretty much goes like this:

Simon: My crayon is better than yours! Gatekeeper!
Phil: Go away I'm better than you so ner-ner-ner-neaaar!

What I find craziest about this entire idea is the notion that anyone builds buildings like this thinking about how they would be demolished. They build them thinking they will be there forever so they engineer them to withstand everything reasonable that can be thrown at them. Can you imagine someone at a meeting about a 110 story building asking how they might be demolished at some date in the future? Everyone will just look at them and say that demolishing the buildings is the responsibility of whatever sucker just bought the buildings from a presumably bankrupt entity.
