The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 436
simultaneously. Dr. Eagar contradicts this stating:
Have you ever seen the demolition of buildings? They blow them up, and
they implode. Well, I once asked demolition experts, “How do you get it to
implode and not fall outward?” They said, “Oh, it's really how you time and place
the explosives.” I always accepted that answer, until the World Trade Center,
when I thought about it myself. And that's not the correct answer. The correct
answer is, there's no other way for them to go but down. They're too big. With
anything that massive -- each of the World Trade Center towers weighed half a
million tons -- there's nothing that can exert a big enough force to push it
sideways.

From the very beginning eyewitnesses and many researchers have disputed the official
theory. Now scientists are disputing the theory. One such scientist is Professor Steven Jones, a
physicist at Brigham Young University (BYU). In September of 2005, in a two-hour presentation
and discussion, Dr. Jones presented his theory of the collapse and his evidence to sixty peers
from BYU and Utah Valley State College. Their areas of expertise included: Physics,
Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, Geology,
Mathematics and possibly more. The sixty faculty members unanimously agreed the evidence
did not fit the official explanation and that the government should further investigate. After
you've considered the evidence below, I'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion.
The design of the WTCs is of particular importance. It is well known and has been
widely reported that the WTCs were designed to withstand the impact of a 707 and the
subsequent burning jet fuel. The engineering firm of Worthington, Skilling, Helle and Jackson
was responsible for the structural design of the WTCs. Leslie Robertson, a structural engineer,
was the chief engineer on the project. Commenting on the WTC collapse he said, “I designed it
for a 707 to hit it.” A 767 is similar in size to a 767 and carries a comparable amount of fuel. The
707 carries 23,000 gallons of fuel, and the 767 carries 23,980.

But the FEMA report estimated
the planes were carrying only 10,000 gallons when they hit the towers. The construction manager
for the Twin Towers, Hyman Brown, said of the towers design: “They were over-designed to
withstand almost anything, including hurricanes, . . . bombings and an airplane hitting [them].”
The on-site construction manager, Frank A. Demartini, died in the towers collapses. In a
recorded interview on January 25, 2001, he went even further in his confidence in the towers
structural design; he said the towers could probably withstand multiple jetliner impacts:
The building was designed to have a fully loaded 707 crash into it. That
was the largest plane at the time. I believe that the building probably could sustain
multiple impacts of jetliners because this structure is like the mosquito netting on
your screen door -- this intense grid -- and the jet plane is just a pencil puncturing
that screen netting. It really does nothing to the screen netting.
