I know I saw two airliners smash into both towers and the resulting explosions. There will always be conspiracy nuts. All due respect, Louie, but you saw footage on tv from Lakewood, just like me. - JR (who's beginning to believe you think men walked on the moon, too....) ;-) |

Why back in the day we all had them little Titchy Girls. They were called Photons they were all bundled up in cellophane britches wid a pee hole in em. Parede round the city all decked out in crepe paper an munching Buffalo Hump sandwiches. TaTonka? White Buffalo Clan they was. Don't even get me started. TaTonka So we're sitting there nipping at the buttons in the cold, checking out the stars and the lights from Page. The whole day in the dirt. Picking out shards, little pieces of corn and rabbit bone. Sometimes even counting mouse turds. Packard's idea. Trust a ****ing Hawaiian to find this ****. The big guy comes over and says it is cool. "Just get in at the end of the line when everybody goes into the hogan." Packard nods OK. I am not feeling nausea, just like he said. And then they start moving and we shuffle dance on in like the rest, following the old guy. Very cool inside, like a kiva. Actually it looks pretty real. One side half out of the ground like they had fixed a crumbled wall with goddamn cinder blocks. But they really try so Im not going to be bougie critical. I am tired. Just lean in and let it flow. High drama, fire, log ceiling, singing. The buzz is great. Like droning Tibetans on Sullivan. Nobody does this **** in Jersey, and for sure in South River. The old guy, doing a hop step, moves aside for a white Bison calf who, in a fast walk, crosses the room, goes through the door and runs out into the night on the Kaiparowits plateau.

Thing is, John, the steel doesn't have to melt. The strength of the low carbon steel used in construction, would be considerably compromised at 500 degrees. I really can't imagine that anyone would think, no matter how much they hate the Bush administration, that this was an inside job. And as Ken points out, the "gang that couldn't shoot straight", is way too inept to have carried out anything on that scale, and keep it a secret. One thing that the conspiracy theorists never mention, is the plane that crashed in PA. How would you explain that? |

Photos of steel buildings after major fires don't show melted steel, but the steel framing is typically severely deformed & twisted from heat effects. Take that same type of damaged structural framing and put a 20-story or 40-story concrete and steel building on top of it, and you don't need a tinfoil hat to imagine a structural failure even without taking out a few columns with a jetliner impact. One thing that the conspiracy theorists never mention, is the plane that crashed in PA. How would you explain that? I'm going with gravity. Joe F. |

This can easily break the welds. The metal expands. Subjecting any steel construction to even relatively mild ( comparativeley) heat will warp it, cause welds to burst, and if the structure is supporting anything heavy it will collapse. This is even more dangerous when buildings are constructed of pre-stressed concrete blocks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prestressed_concrete The steel tensioners expand, and the block can no longer bear the laod, if part of a heavy structure, the block will fail catastrophically.Almost explosively in fact.

All I can say is...burning buildings don't collapse like the towers did, in particular building 7 I refer to my structural engineer, Joe Fleishman. Yeah what he said. You *do* know how much jet fuel each of those planes was carrying, right? dave (Without electricity, running on a battery that was charged by driving the car around for 1/2 hour, and a Verizon broad band air card.) |
