It's cleanly cut on a diagonal. Bent or warped or twisted steel I can
understand, but diagonally cut, nope.

Coincidentally, a prof. from BYU (Steven Jones) has recently analyzed debris
from the WTC for his PhD work and found traces of thermate (thermite mixed
with sulphur). Thermite is is used to cut metal by burning through it.
Adding sulphur causes it to burn hotter.

With proper force steel tears just like paper. Cleanly too. Sorry, this isn't evidence.

I'm always willing to give jupiter the benefit of the doubt, but the
fundamental problem with his entire argument is that he's trying to prove
that something happened by proving that the currently accepted reason is
impossible. This is problematic on two counts:
1) it's very very difficult to prove something of this sort to be impossible -- all it takes
is the failure to account for one thing.
2) proving the impossibility of one thing does not necessarily make the
other thing to be true. You come across this sort of thing all the time
in the creationism debates - you've always got one side arguing that the
other side is impossible and therefore their theory MUST be correct.

Jupiter, if you cannot account for it, it does not mean that it's a
government conspiracy.


Hell, I don't know what happened, but when there were that many
anomalies, and now a PhD with the backing of 60 colleagues has credible
evidence of explosives, I'm willing to admit that there is positive
evidence (not proof).

I smell an elephant in our living room. Others may not smell it, in
which case they will have to conclude, as they always do, that the
malodorous pile of shit in the middle of the room is really the sweet
smell of freedom.
