Thanks, unfortunately you didn't provide an answer to my question. See why:
Quote from Turok:
To use a word from your question -- one is "controlled".
One has been studied, practiced and has proven to have a very high rate of *controlled* predictability. This *control* has proven to have a nice side effect -- safety. One can drop a building in a prescribed manner at a prescribed time and into a prescribed place.
Well, that's exactly what happened to the WTC: prescribed manner, time (it took ~10 sec. to collapse), place...
The fire isn't exactly something that lends itself to safety for obvious reasons and the predictability is dramatically lowered -- when will it fall exactly? -- which beam will weaken and fail first?
1. What kind of "safety" are you thinking about here? People are evacuated from the sight of CD, the only thing i can imagine is the safety of buildings around = demolished building should fall into its own footprint. And that's exactly what happened to the WTC.
Magically, we had the same "safety" effect as using controlled demolition! And it was a result of RANDOM fires! And these fires were by no means huge or long-lasting.
It is against any common sense and probability that random fires here and there could turn the very large, modern building into dust in just 10 seconds AFTER they were standing in overall great condition for about an hour, and in case of WTC7 - for 8 hours.
2. You say using fire we'd not know when it will fall. Does it matter at all? The towers fell after 1 hour, WTC7 after 8. So I think experts would able to calculate the maximum time it will take to collapse the whole thing. Then, evacuate all people for that maximum period of time. Problem gone.
To summarize, if fires would be able to demolish buildings like in 9/11 case, there will be no problem of "safety" of the whole operation.
Could you name any differencies between CD and WTC collapse regarding it's manner, time, debris or anything else you can think of?
