Another 9/11 thread?

(singing) Send in the trolls... (/singing)

I think I'll call in some backup anti-troll folks right now.

How is this person allowed anywhere near kids, let alone allowed to raise them?

Fire can't melt steel. And even if it can, Cheney's X-ray vision melted those toweres. In fact, Bush and Cheney actually piloted those planes, and hid in a secret underground bunker. There is really no end to the evil of these men.

Sincerely,

Leftist with Serious Daddy Issues

OK, bD, don't disappoint. Let's hear what you really think. Mebbe some Sims techno?
===============

What can I say. Rosie just doesn't have good sense on political matters and should stick to telling jokes and funny stories instead.

Rosie is the only person I can think of who is MORE stupid than Paris Hilton!

Both making money hand over fist, I note. That's pretty deep philosophizing.
=================================

Rosie O'Donut makes Paris, Brtiney AND Lindsey look smart. And that's damn near impossible.

Both making money hand over fist, I note.

Hey, stupid sells.

For more evidence, see "Pet Rock."

Rosie is back on WTC Building 7

And Lorie is back on Rosie! Tee-hee! You'll be so lonely when she's off the air.

Maybe Rosie could elicit the help of this genuis!

Still my most favorite 9/11 debunking experiment.

Of course, bryanD, you're still my most favorite 9/11 conspiracy moron!

Trust Brian to start off with a personal slam against Lorie.

Nice to know some things never change.

If the View replaces Rosie with Lindsay Lohan, I might at least watch with the volume off.

What, JR, you want more?

The more I see of MSM, the better I like blogs.

Looks like thermite to me! (Or an acetylin torch cutting steel!)

This only a couple of minutes long, but shows those pesky horizontal ejections

Where is BryanDelusional with his defense of these stupid theories?

I've alerted my friend the former NYPD officer about this thread. He arrived on scene just after Tower 2 fell, and prior to number 7 falling.

In other words, if he drops in (and he may not, some of those memories are very painful for him), we'll have eyewitness testimony.

Of course, bD will just claim that he's part of the conspiracy, but what else do you expect?

CCG: Who cares if you've alerted "your friend". Keep a lid on the bathos.

The apple-polishing schtick you've developed toward admin is humourous, though!

As if on cue, brian Demento appears.

brian, did Rove pre-position the the man with the thermite bomb/acetylene torch or did he take the elevator to the impact area after the plane crash?

All hail bryanD!! Speaking idiocy to power like no other!

Thanks, bD. Insulting me is a great way to make sure my friend will jump in. He defends his friends.

Naah, that was melting, burning plastic, Bryan, looks nothing like Thermite, which

1) burns so brightly you'd just see a white flare at best.

2) burns so hot that it would not stay in one place- the thermite would drop through whatever was holding it. Thus, the source of the damage would appear to decend during the fire. I've seen it melt though an engine block. As it stays in one place during the video, the video proves that this is not Thermite.

3) Produces localized damage. The heat is intense but transient. As a result, you don't get a dripping faucet of molten metal, you get a broken off chunks of metal sheared off where the thermite burned through. Once the steel and thermite parted company, no further melting. Even if it burned through a W-84 I-beam, you'd have at best a few drips and spatters (none of which you would see through the smoke and the bright light) then nothing. Bear in mind the scale of the building you are looking at here- this is a LOT of melted material, proof again that it's not steel.

Clearly anyone who thinks they are seeing Thermite has never actually seen the stuff work, and is only having a bad case of verbal diarhea. What is going on in the video is most likely burning plastic, which I've also seen and by incredible coincidence, looks exactly like that, or possible lighter metal such as aluminum- but my bet's on plastic because you don't see the bright flare of burning metal.

BTW, if anyone has a good place for me to send them, I took photos of the long abandoned steel remains of the 79th st pier warehouse on the Hudson River. Clear proof of either:

1) Fire will severely distort structural steel.
Or...
2) Rove and Cheney used a time machine to pre-emptively plant this false evidence decades ago, cause we know fire won't do that to steel beams.
Or...
3) Frank Gehry's first job was designing warehouses.

Here is bryanDirtbag's answer--loi yun frj laq gklte gstrbd hgitr ,lghjd9 hdfgreuyn?

I work with pyrotechnics and explosives and know for a fact that the "horizontal ejections" could not have been created by explosives. The ejection velocities are orders of magnatude too small. Sorry conspiracy nuts it just aint possible. The "video proof" that is posted on these 9/11 websites are all that is needed to prove definitively that explosives were not involved.

In fact many of the ejections appear as a gentle waft of air clearly ejected at the same velocity as the collapsing structure even if those pancaking floors are several stories above. The air from the floors above is simply travelling down elevator safts, stair cases, etc. and blowing out windows a handful of floors below the collapse.

Videos of building demolitions may look similar to the untrained eye but careful review of a real explosion induced demolition will show that the velosity of debris in a real case of demolition is much different from any of the 9/11 videos. In fact, most video equipment has filming speeds that are too small to capture the explosion while it is happening. What you see is one frame where nothing is seen and the next frame where the explosion is complete and the debris is completely ejected. In all of the 9/11 videos the so called "explosions" last several frames documenting that the event is occuring at a 10 to 20 feet per second rate. This is clearly not from explosives.

Ben, I'd love to see those. You can email them to me through my blog, which is linked to my username.

You must have never gone through the junior firebug stage of boyhood. Ants, plastic, the woods...

Facts and logic can not penetrate bryanD's fortress of stupidity!

You must have never gone through the junior firebug stage of boyhood. Ants, plastic, the woods...

Your parents let you play with thermite, bD?

By the way, you were aware that there are literally dozens of different plastics, weren't you? Of course you were, you know everything.

So you're sure you were experimenting with precisely the same plastics that were in the WTC, bD? Of course you are, you know everything.

I never understood the whole Rosie thing to begin with. She has never said anything funny, yet they call her a comedienne. She's a terrible actress, she's as ugly as they come and she's a big phony pretending to like Tom Cruise and all. How does she even have a career? On Television! There are a lot of stupid Americans out there I guess.

There is also a question of logic. Since the nutters claim Thermite was used, then what is the purpose of explosives? The Thermite would have not weakened or distorted the steel structure but completely severed through the beams quickly. The stucture would immediately collapse and there would have been no purpose to using explosives.

This may be the best LC trailer which includes the mis-ID'd highjackers and the airliner overlay of the hole in the Pentagon.

Trust Brian to start off with a personal slam against Lorie.

Actually, it was you who started off with a slam, against "trolls". Which, despite your ignorant misuse of the word, I'll just have to assume you intended as an insult to the left.

Besides, you're relatively new to these parts, so you may not be aware of the playful understanding between Lorie and commenters here: she obsessively posts about Rosie, and we ridicule her for it.

Nice to know some things never change.

Ditto you and your "predictions" that liberals will jump in and respond to idiotic posts from the right. Now here's one of mine... you will post on another thread!

Oh, and Michael, smitty... be careful. C-C-G doesn't think highly of those who aren't capable of making a comment without twisting someone's username into an insult.

Lorie:

Doesn't ABC realize that it would be great television to book the Popular Mechanics guys who investigated the tower collapses?

Much better for ABC to pack Rosie and a live film crew onto a flight to Oakland to view the melted steel on that bridge that collapsed due to intense heat melting the supporting steel.

bryanD[elusion]

Just GO AWAY, you have ZERO chance to convert anyone here to your idiotic "theories."

Go commiserate with the like-minded.

bryanD really believes that all that setup for an explosive detonation took place in and around the world trade center without any of the fifty thousand workers noticing? The miles of cable that would have had to be laid alone would have taken several truckloads to deliver and have to brought and installed on to each floor. That includes drilling in concrete. But why even begin to argue with someone so foolish that they believe the President was behind it. Even though there were thousands of witnesses, videotape, cockpit recorders, taped cell phone communications from the planes passengers. What a sad person he must be to want to believe that nonsense.

CCG- I'm trying, but I just can't seem to find an address for incoming emails on your blog. Where do I look?

And clearly, bryan's parent's let him play with all sorts of questionable things, and still do. But in fact he's right, being a city boy, I never did. No kid in his right mind would ever, ever, use Thermite on a New York City Cockroach. You'd only piss it off, and then it would call it's friends. Of course none of that relates to burning metal and plastic on a 100+ story skyscraper, but I can see the bd thought process working something like this:

1)When I was little, I burned ants, and it was fun!

2) When I put them on the BBQ grill, they burned up real good and was so tasty! And the plastic melted,

3) But the Grill never burned. Or melted. It just got black and greasy. And it wasn't tasty at all!

4) The grill was steel!

5) Therefore steel can't melt. Even with Jet fuel burning, cuz daddy must'a used a gallon or two of lighter fluid ever time he barbecued, and that's like the same stuff or something.

6) So if lighter fluid or whatever they put in the planes can't do it, the only possible explanation is... Evil Conservative Magic!

But on a serious note, what bd might realize if he took a step back is that all "weird" theory, from 911 to UFO's to Witches, comes from a basic and very arrogant fault in reasoning, which is this:

"If I don't understand it, no one else can either, or ever will, because I am smarter than everyone else who is or ever was".

In short:
2000BC: I don't know what Lightning is, no one else does or ever will because I am the smartest that ever will be, therefore, it's the gods.

1000AD: I don't know what caused that seizure, is, no one else does or ever will because I am the smartest that ever will be, therefore, it's the Devil.

1960AD: I don't know what caused that strange light, no one else does or ever will because I am the smartest that ever will be, therefore, it's the Aliens.

2006AD: I don't know what caused that building to fall, no one else does or ever will because I am the smartest that ever will be, therefore, it's the Conspiracy.

In every case, it's the same, building a world view based on personal ignorance. And the sad part is, there is nothing wrong with being ignorant about something. I have no idea how a computer works. We all have to specialize. The sad part is the assumption, implicit in any conspiracy/alien/voodoo theory, that everyone else is and will be for all time just as ignorant.

Ants are made of plastic?

taped cell phone communications from the planes passengers._BrianNYC

In LC, the call from the stewardess describing throats being slit is played. Curiously, she speaks in a calm voice and there are no background hysterics or ANYTHING noisewise, at all. Also, a test call from Colin Powell is played wherein he enacts his own kidnapping. Some test for the Sec of State!

I'm really not trying to be contrarian to piss The City off. In fact, someone got away with murdering +3000 New Yorkers.

And the only 3 highrises to collapse in such a manner, in history, on the same day, owned by the same person? Sorry, Don't buy the official story.

This WTC "hoax" business is crazy. But does anyone listen to Rosie?!

What would be really crazy would be Bush trying to control greenhouse gases...you know, that "global warming" hoax. Wait a minute!

Sorry, Ben, "old" Blogger had an email form, guess "new" Blogger doesn't. Lemme set up a quick disposable address in case someone decides to put me on the DailyKos mailing list, and I'll tell Blogger to display that one.

Ben: Palmetto bug vs NY cockroach: Palmetto TKO3

K, all set up, Ben.

Naah, that was melting, burning plastic, Bryan, looks nothing like Thermite, which

Or possibly glass, molten glass will stay orange hot for quite a while if heated to a high enough temperature and it will pour and bead just like in the video.

Which can be explained by pneumantic overpressure in the collapse zones without requiring the deus ex machina of explosives, which itself begs the question of how those explosives were planted to begin with. Occam's Razor applies here.

Think, Bryan. You're just parroting stuff you find on the internet without analysis. Think.

-----

Aside: The second video talks about people reporting "... explosives going off inside the buildings". This is a dishonest argument. Debunking 911 is one source at which people can begin researching this lie; that site deals with such reportage here: http://debunking911.com/explosions.htm.

And going back to the first video: That is often used as "proof" that themite was used in the destruction of the WTCs. Ignoring the fact that the metal was never conclusively identified as steel - and ignoring the fact that steel was not the only metal in the impact zone, several tons of airliner aluminum was too - that video is often paired with confirmed eyewitness testimony that molten metal was identified at Ground Zero. What conspiracy fantasists continually and conveniently ignore is the issue that the confirmed sightings of molten metal were weeks after the fact. What's the point? Thermite burns out in seconds. Where's the heat source for the metal found weeks later? Assuming it was indeed steel?

The supposed use of thermite in the video is debunked at the link I provided, and elsewhere. My point is a lesson learned in dealing with the truth-lacking members of the so-called truth movement: They try to use both video and confirmed eyewitness testimony to bolster their case for thermite use (as well as Steven Jones's debunked "study", but that's a topic discussed in other places), but they conveniently - and intentionally - ignore the contradiction that such juxtaposition gives. Claming thermite use debunks itself when the standard video is combined with eyewitness testimony of molten metals.

bryanD,
You and all the other greenhouse suckers are gonna feel really stupid in twenty years when NOTHING AT ALL HAPPENS with global warming. Remember overpopulation? The Ozone Hole? Killer Bees? This is just the latest media induced mass hysteria. If you really cared, you'd do a little research (not googling Al GORE), and see what a bunch of bullshit it all is.

Hey, wait a minute... The authorities said that it was a fuel tanker fire that melted the steel support structures and caused that highway bridge to collapse a couple of weeks about out in San Fran. Was that a government hoax to?!?!?! Rosie sezs that petroleum distillant fires can't cause steel structures to fail!!!

"The single-vehicle crash occurred on the lower roadway when the tanker, loaded with 8,600 gallons of unleaded gasoline and heading from a refinery in Benicia to a gas station on Hegenberger Road in Oakland, hit a guardrail at 3:41 a.m.

Engineers said the green steel frame of the I-580 overpass and the bolts holding the frame together began to melt and bend in the intense heat..." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/04/29/BAGVOPHQU46.DTL

But on a serious note, what bd might realize if he took a step back is that all "weird" theory, from 911 to UFO's to Witches, comes from a basic and very arrogant fault in reasoning, which is this:

Hey hey hey, lay off the ufos. The alien angle is arguably questionable but the existence of ufos is well documented.

Great link, Gizmo!

Gizmo, you stole my thunder. lol. Nice job.

I'm just glad that people associate Rosie with these nutty theories AND as hating Bush.

It makes anti Bush people look like idiots, and in this way she helps us.

BryanD: And the only 3 highrises to collapse in such a manner, in history, on the same day, owned by the same person? Sorry, Don't buy the official story.

So how many other high rise buildings of that construction have been hit with a Boeing 767-222, and a Boeing 767-223ER?

Yeah, T, what about those triangles? And what's the polarity of the background microwave radiation?
==========================

"Rosie is back on WTC Building 7 and Melted Steel"

Rosie should be back in a padded cell and on very high doses of risperidone and clozapine.

EH is an asshat of sombrero proportions. GOD how I wish they'd fire her stupid ass.

So how many other high rise buildings of that construction have been hit with a Boeing 767-222, and a Boeing 767-223ER?

And how many of those were all in the same building complex?

Is it just me or is bD (and by extension the rest of the truthers) just not too smart? Sorta like Mz Rosie. Too dumb to come in out of the rain.

I'll be glad when Rosie is off The View. Then we won't have these periodic episodes of idiocy to deal with for a while.

This blog is obsessed with Rosie. Why? Rosie has no actual import or influence. I can't undertsand why you spend so much time on her.

I actually think Rosie is beautiful...inside and out.

Rosie is one sexy dude...

Rosie has no actual import or influence.

A show broadcast on national TV has "no actual import or influence"?

If ya believe that, would you mind helping put more shows with a Christian and/or conservative viewpoint on the air? After all, if they have "no actual import or influence," it doesn't matter what their viewpoint is, right?

" and ignoring the fact that steel was not the only metal in the impact zone, several tons of airliner aluminum was too "

Not to mention far, far more aluminum used in the construction of the WTC.

CCG, you have your pictures of fire-distorted steel beams!

Ben

Those who believe the 'official' version of the twin towers' collapse would be happy to drink Junior Bush's Kool-aid. Their minds are so closed why do you bother with them Bryan?

I hope all these conspiracists haven't put ideas into the extreme fringes of each political wing. I'll tell you which side I wouldn't put it past, the ones with the alta knitting by the knives.

Thanks, Ben, I'll check them out in a bit.

The funniest part about oldliberalfemale's comment? You can't tell if it's real or if it's satire.
I'm not even sure which way it would be funnier, although it is pretty funny for a conspiracy-theorist to accuse others of drinking "Junior Bush's Kool-aid".

I like the part where she (oldliberalfleamale) talks about belief in the official version. I don't know what version she is talking about. The one I saw live on TV, where the plane hit the building and a while later, they both collapsed is probably not the official version, but I saw what happened. There were no explosions. I have seen building demolished. This was not done by explosion. But then men never walked on the moon either.
