- Dear Jeff,
-
- Paul Sherman who commented on the combustion theory inadvertently
brings up another aspect of the towers' collapse. The majority of the jet
fuel was expended in the initial fireball, and, even under the most favorable
conditions could not generate the heat required to cause a failure of the
building's structural steel. What, then, caused the convenient vertical
collapse of both buildings?
-
- The reports of molten pools of steel later found in the
sub-basements and spikes in seismographic readings prior to the collapse
seem to indicate that perhaps a "doomsday" destruct device was
installed sometime after the 1993 bombing attempt to prevent the buildings
from toppling over like a felled tree in the forest.

- Jeff - The continued ramblings of people who have no
idea about the Trade Center is too much to bear.
-
- Around 1982 The New York Daily News had published a series
of articles about the 10 Most Dangerous Buildings in New York City. #'s
1 and 2 were the twin towers.
-
- Why?
-
- Primarily due to the central core. If a fire breached
the central core the building(s) were in danger. The Port Authority is
not subject to the building codes of New York. Consequently, despite what
is said, they were cheaply and quickly built. The floors were not built
into the walls, like the Empire State Building. The floors were resting
on brackets attached to the outer shell.
-
- IF fire breached the central core the heat would travel
up this core which would act like a chimney. The heat would cause the outer
walls to expand outward and the floor would came away from the wall. The
floors would collapse -- like a stack of records. The central core was
not strong enough to withstand their weight alone and, as it turned out,
was so badly damaged that there was little to no support.
-
- You once reprinted an article claiming there was not
enough fuel to sustain a fire. True, there wasn't. But there was paper,
rugs, plastics, woods -- enough flammable material to ensure a continued
burn. It would not surprise me if there were gas lines in the building
as well, but this I do not know for sure. IF there were, however, this
would also account for secondary explosions that many people are convinced
were bombs set off by the terrorists.
-
- No great mystery here. Poor, dangerous buildings, that's
all.
-
- No one in New York believed the air was safe, you could
smell the burning flesh for weeks. As the floors collapsed they also acted
like giant millstones, grinding anything and everything between them. The
great billowing clouds contained, concrete, asbestos, wood, metal -- people
-- and whatever else was up there. Many of the bodies that have never been
recovered were in that cloud that covered lower Manhattan as well as Brooklyn.
-
- Don't get me wrong. I will always believe that this administration
KNEW we were about to be attacked and gambled with our lives. After all,
what's 20, 30 or even 40,000 lives when your oil company paymasters stand
to make BILLIONS from an Afghanistan oil pipeline?
-
- I believe that there's enough evidence out there to take
down this administration and it's not called a 'Conspiracy,' it's called,
'Business as usual.'
-
- Thanks, I enjoy your site.

- Dear Mr. Rense:
-
- I would like to respond to Paul Sherman's remarks that
this is a wild conclusion
- based on speculation.
-
-
- (1) Usually, WYSIWYG. If it looks like something larger
than a jet engine hanging
- off the bottom of the plane in several different photos,
taken from different angles,
- then why would you call this wild speculation? Do you
have a problem believing what
- you see, because of the enormous implications?
-
- (2) There are other pictures of the same plane that create
more questions. Attached
- ia a photo that shows the tail of the plane as it crashes
into the tower, along side a photo
- of a Boeing 767, and a drawing of the top view of a 767.
-
- The drawing is from:
- http://www.biic.de/aviation-museum/planes/country/usa/planes/30.htm
-
- The WTC photo is from
- http://thewebfairy.com/911/
-
-
-
- Look closely at the angle of the tail fins in relation
to each other,
- and the angle of the wings in relation to the body of
the plane.
- Is this a Boeing?
-
- (3) Kerosene is in fact, not nearly as explosive as gasoline,
and the giant fireball
- bursting out the side of the WTC from the impact of this
plane looks like the dramatic
- special effects we see in a movie, which is in fact done
with high explosives and
- special incendiary compounds. When a car's gas tank explodes
in a B movie, the giant
- fireball we see is many times greater than what would
occur in real life. Large planes
- occassionally crash. Is there anybody who has pictures,
or has witnessed a
- fireball this large, when the fuel tank ruptured and
exploded in a large plane crash?
-
- (4) Consider the FBI involvment in the first WTC bombing
in 1993. The FBI apparently
- paid half a million dollars to the man who built the
bomb. Say What?
-
- Perhaps a healthy dose of reality is needed to counter
the wild speculation of which I am accused.
-
- The following quotes are from:
- http://www.newsmedianews.com/wtc.htm
-
- "The most disturbing part of this trial was the
dubious testimony of one Emad Salem, an obscure figure who was hired by
the FBI following the famed killing of right-wing militant rabbi Meir Kahane
in 1991. Salem, a high ranking Egyptian government operative, had penetrated
the circles of Rahman and had secretly tape recorded countless meetings.
The prosecution's case relied almost entirely on the testimony of Emad
Salem, who was taken into the Witness Protection program on June 24, 1993,
and promised five hundred thousand dollars in exchange for his testimony."
-
- "Salem informed the FBI about the more than 1,000
conversations he had recorded within Rahman's circle sometime between December
1991 and June 1993. Unbeknownst to the FBI, he had also been secretly taping
their conversations too. Bugging the FBI, Salem had deceived them, which
would prove to be very problematic as these tapes established that the
FBI was at the very least, aware of Salem's role of being an 'agent provocateur'
in the bombing, as well as his involvement in the plans to blow up the
United Nations Building and Lincoln and Holland Tunnels."
-
- "When Ron Kuby, one of the defendant's attorneys
in the case was questioned about an article which revealed that Salem
and the FBI were involved in the bombing, he stated: 'The article on the
FBl being involved in the World Trade Center bombing actually understated
the evidence, believe it or not. The informer, Emad Salem, is actually
on tape saying that he built the bomb that ultimately blew up the World
Trade Center.' "
-
- (5) Finally, I would like to point out that I would never
find fault with George Bush.
