The person in this video asserts that the Twin Towers were destroyed on purpose, with explosives. As Ed Storms and I have pointed out previously, hundreds of the world's best civil engineers examined the videos and physical evidence from the Towers, such as the melted steel. This was the most detailed, expensive and thorough engineering investigation in history. All of them agreed that the airplanes alone destroyed the structure. The notion that you could fool all of these experts, or bribe or frighten them into hiding the truth, is ludicrous. It is utterly impossible -- utterly absurd.
I'm sorry but that's just not so. The steel structure of the WTC was massive, as you assert later airplanes just don't do that much damage, and most of the fuel was burnt in the first few seconds outside the building. Assuming pancaking is possible, it is going to slow the fall. it would take 7 seconds for something dropped from the WTC to hit the ground, one collapsed in just 8 seconds. Which means that basically the pancaking offered no resistance at all, if that were the case I wonder why it hadn't come down already from just a boisterous party with everyone jumping around. And what of WTC 7? It is the only building to come down due to fire! Ever! And it wasn't a case of it being badly damaged by the fall of the WTC towers because the other smaller buildings around it very badly damaged (understatement) remained standing. But what of the bone fragments found on the roofs of distant buildings, are we meant to believe that this can be caused by a building in free fall? And as already mention people injured in an explosion in the basement. *http://tinyurl.com/3d4wd7 *Honestly there isn't a single part of this that adds up, but I suspect that you are simply not open to the possibilities that the US Government would do that to it's own people. That is however blind naive trust, Hitler did it in Germany. And what of the medical experiments on Black men, and White women in America, and other crimes by those in power? If you pay attention to cold fusion, you will see that one of the
most important lessons is: Experts are right. Electrochemists and materials scientists know what they are doing, and when they say there is excess heat, you should believe them. You should NOT believe idiots who know nothing about the relevant science, such as Robert Park in the case of cold fusion, or the economist in this video. This guy actually said, in the beginning of the video, that when he saw the initial images on television he was "sure those building would not fall." Compare that to the reaction of every qualified engineering expert in the world who saw the videos. They all knew that it was just a matter of time -- minutes or hours -- before the buildings collapsed. According to their later testimony, the only thing that surprised most of them was how long the buildings stood. As I mentioned here years ago, one of the British experts tried to get through by phone to the New York Police to warn them to evacuate, because -- he later told investigators -- he could tell at a glance that the building would soon fall. Also, John Berry's assertion that no aircraft crashed in Pennsylvania, and that aircraft leave a large hole in the ground is preposterous.
I didn't say Aircraft leave a large hole in the ground, indeed they don't. But this one did, you didn't watch the video so you don't know what your talking about here. I know a thing or two about crashed airplanes. I have
seen many photos of them, plus two small fatal air crashes here at the Peachtree Dekalb airport. They caused no more damage to the surroundings than a car crash.
So check out the video, you will see a hole in the ground, confetti and that's it. Nothing that came anywhere close to explaining where a 100 ton (or tonne?) Boeing and how many passengers? went. Find a single crash in aviation history where nothing is left, but for a hold in the ground. Oh, I know, they are underground! ;) My father visited Stalingrad and other
Russian battlefields, and saw the remains of large aircraft that crashed plus lots of other destroyed equipment and holes in the ground -- the worst mayhem in history. He did not see (and you will not see in the photos of the battle) giant holes in the ground, except from artillery.
Exactly Even the largest modern aircraft accidents
seldom make large holes. Airplanes are light, low density aluminum vehicles. There is a test facility next to my office where people crush and destroy aircraft wings and fuselages, and they leave a large pile of wrecked equipment behind the building. I have seen people over there carry around smashed wing sections larger than themselves, and in air crashes the fragments are seldom as large as people (and what is left of the people on board is seldom larger than a breadbox). When aircraft strike the ground or a concrete wall, they shatter into many small pieces. It is not like a cartoon, where they make a single large hole in the shape of an airplane. Also, as with the Towers, there were thousand of witnesses and rescue workers
And they all said observed that there was pretty much nothing there. Show me a single plane crash where 1: There is nothing of any size left and not even a lot of what is left 2: Despite 1, there is a hole in the ground. , and
if there had not been a smashed airplane on the ground in Pennsylvania, that secret would be impossible to cover up.
There is indeed a crashed unmanned something, but not an airplane. May I also point out that on both of the videos showing the 1st plane hit (There was another one besides the fireman one), and all videos showing the second one hit, there is a flash seen before the plane hits. This flash is unmistakable and impossible to explain away. There are also other flaws: The ID's of the Hijackers, of the passengers on the planes, The video of Osama who had said he didn't do it, now saying he had, only it didn't look like him. The phone calls couldn't have been made from the planes. Planes can't even pull off the turns and ascent/decent claimed. (This is both because they switched planes in flight, and the planes which hit were not boeings) How about this one. One of the Pilots supposedly flying one of the planes (I forget which one, watch 'loose change 2' on youtube) took part in a mock exercise of such an event in the 80's before becoming a United pilot. What of the hijackers passports (not required on a national flight) found outside the WTC? sound believable to you? One woman (I forget which of the 4 planes) they found her ID twice, oh well. It is odd that the did an unprecedented power down of the WTC while guys were running around wiring something up just before hand, also strange that after that they stopped the bomb sniffing dogs they always had, but I'm sure the security handled by a company run by Bush's bro wouldn't do any such thing. Because politician are good, they wouldn't do anything evil? You feel that deep down inside right? Leaders never attack their own people, just look a history. In fact I wonder how the term 'false flag operation' even entered the English language. I propose that leaders, of America anyway, democratically elected (well, we think but don't look too close you know) should not even be considered possible to do anything bad, well to their own people at least, mostly at least. (and certainly not Bush, he cares so much he flew over New Orleans in a plane, Ok he didn't send any help but still) Or are you willing to consider the possibility that they may have done it, that it shouldn't be ruled out of hand as it was with Hitler and Nero, in which case it is only a question of where the evidence lies?
