Reply #129: hmm, mind if I ask a question? [View All]

one: can you list a single time a completed steel framed building has fallen over, instead of straight down? one? ever?

Who planted the explosives (I know, Marvin Bush) but given the fact that he's an aged businessman, who actually did it? there are a finite number of demolition experts in the world capable of levelling a complex the size of the WTC, who did it? are they dead? what story was told to them to get them to kill 3,000 americans?

Who exactly hijacked and flew the airplanes into the WTC and the pentagon? Someone obviously did (I guess it's technically possible for three planes to randomly hit buildings in two cities within ten minutes of each other, but...) seriously, who flew them? skilled pilots willing to die for the Bush Administration? People have aruged that the terrorists couldn't have learned to fly well enough to hit the buildings, fine, but then who did and was willing to die? Or were they radio controlled?

or maybe the terrorists actually did hijack the planes and fly them into the buildings. and the gubmint knew in advance and put into place, in two weeks, a plan to demolish the buildings. Inside of two weeks, the Bushies found several dozen highly skilled explosives engineers, convinced them to wire, working in the dark of night, not one, not two, but three skyscrapers to implode roughly simultaneously without leaving any evidence behind. Luckily for the bushies, all three planes did, in fact, hit the buildings, allowing them to implode them on command, starting at within two floors of where the airplanes hit. you'd have to expect the airplanes to hit anywhere within roughly 30 floors, so you'd need 15 different detonation systems in each building, to ensure you blew the right floor up (imagine if you guessed wrong, and the plane hit on the 70th floor, when you'd planned on the 55th, what a mess!) And, of course, you get your solicitor general, one of your old friends, the guy who stole the election for you legally, to agree to the death of his wife. Finally, instead of planning for your guy to look all heroic and in charge, since he knew it was coming and all, you fly him around the country like a scared toddler, while a potential rival (Guiliani) gets lla the glory. I gotta admit, that does sound like a good plan, huh?

black boxes aren't nearly as indestructible as people think, it's not that uncommon for them to be destorying in airline crashes. Anything thrown from the building stood a chance of surviving intact (save anything living, of course) the black boxes were buried under millions of tonds of debris, they didn't stand a chance.

explosions (the planes hitting the buildings certainly were that) are funny things. it is not uncommon for things close to the explosion to be undamaged, while things farther away are destoyed. Shock waves are not perfect destruction devices. TWA 800 exploded ina fireball (after the navy's missile hit it, of course) and there was still paper recorsd found from that plane. Hell, they found paper from the fucking Challenger, and that CERTAINLY blew up. or did it? They found partial notebooks from the Columbia, and that exploded 100 miles up. think about that for a second.
