On Jan 21 2006, I posted the last (see below) of a series of messages debunking the 9/11 disinformation coming from Webfairy (Rosalee Grable), Gerard Holmgren, and Nico Haupt. They claim that no large airplanes hit the WTC towers, that the government faked all the videos of those hits, and that all the witnesses to the hits were either lying or deluded. In one of the paragraphs of that message, as part of the explanation of how the aircraft were able to penetrate the towers, I wrote: ] Also, the wings were many feet long from front to back, and ] the kinetic energy of all of that metal impinged on the mere ] 1/4 inch of steel. Like a karate chop with the edge of the ] hand. Soft flesh breaking a brick or cinder block. Nowhere does that say that the wings of a 767 aren't swept back. What it says is that behind each leading edge of the moving object (plane or hand) there is a lot of additional mass (located "front to back" behind the leading edge) whose kinetic energy also ends up impinging on the same target area that the leading edge hits. This additional energy continues to add stress to the target, and can cause it to break, when it would not have broken from the energy of the leading edge alone. With a hand, spear, or arrow, the kinetic energy of the middle and rearward mass is communicated to the target via the leading edge. With a 767 that's largely disintegrating as it strikes the WTC peripheral siding, girders, spandrel plates, etc., the kinetic energy of the parts of the plane behind each leading edge is likely communicated to the girders, etc., by direct contact. I never said that all of the leading areas of the wings struck the building at the same time. But Webfairy and Holmgren claimed that I had, and proceeded to post at least 18 messages to that effect, using the following lying Subject lines: Mark Bilk's brain spaz Now that Mark Bilk's broken hand has recovered... Webfairy-Holmgren try to save the farking world from Armeggadon Cheerleader Mark Bilk Proves No Big Plane Hit the WTC The Webfairy-Holmgren Common Sense Drive Self motorised wing tips- and another lie from Bilk The loony show continues Severley embarrassed and very angry plane huggers Mark Bilk's red face In the days leading up to this, I had refuted many of Webfairy's and Holmgren's central lies, e.g., that the image in the Naudet video doesn't look like a plane (it looks exactly like a 767 seen through that out-of-focus camera), and that a soft aluminum plane can't break through steel (the planes were hard, tough aluminum alloy, and had 100 times as much kinetic energy per pound as the metal in a 57 mph automobile). So they fell back on lies and personal attacks, which were so transparently false that I ignored them.
